REPUBLIC IS FIRST DEMAND iProclamation Issued by Party Out- Wnes Structure of Democracy and r ..'Socialism Be Built -on the r Ruins of Czardom. ' MOSCOW, April G. Tho oantrrft com mittee of the Social Revolutionary party has drawn up a document containing the imain points of its programme, and of this hundreds of thousands of copies are being printed for circulation in all parts of European Russia. The first and main point is the estab lishment of a democratic republic, on the ruins of the autocracy, and 'beside the usual points of Social Democratic doc trine, it includes many arguments, espe cially directed to Russian conditions and designed to appeal to the self-interest of the Russian proletariat, both agricul tural and Industrial. It voltes phrases familiar to the American ear, such'-as "initiative and referendum," public own ership of public utilities." etc The programme Is divided under two heads, the first the politi-rogal domain ..A- .l.l. If 3n,nnnric tho Institution Of a democratic republic with broad auton omy for the provinces, municipalities and communes; the widest application of the federal principle to the relations between the various nationalities; a direct, secret, universal ballot without distinction as to sex. nationality or religion; proportional representation; direct popular legislation with the initiative and referendum; eleo tibility, responsibility and removability of all officials; separation of church and state; complete freedom of conscience, speech, the press, assembly and associa tion; right to strike; compulsory, popular and gratuitous education, and abolition of the standing army and substitution of a national militfe. Under the second head, national econ omy domain, the party favors an eight ' hour day, with a reduction for the more dangerous and unsanitary occupations; a minimum wage scale; state Insurance for all, the forms regulated by the insured, at the expense of the state and em ployers; regulation of factory construc tion; prohibition of child labor below lfi and of female labor at certain occupations and professional organization of work men with an Increasing share in the in ternal management of institutions. In agrarian policy the party declares the earth is the common heritage of all citizens and demands the socialization of all land or such approach to abolition of private ownership as Is practicable, including the sequestration of crown, church and state lands, turning them over to the communes, and the limitation and conversion of rents Into an income tax, payable to the commune. In the realm of finance the party fav ors progressive income and inheritance taxes inapplicable to small income; the abolition of Indirect taxes and the pro tective system excep- as to objects of luxury. It also favors the common ownership of all utilities, medical assistance gratis. democratic principles and measures tend ing to the independence of the working classes of governmental bureaucracy. The document closes with a warning to Individuals against "state Socialism." which it declares to be a system of half measures, deluding workers, concentrat ing industry and commerce in the hands of the governing bureaucracy, and urges the summoning of a constituent aasombly, in which it proposes to conduct the cam paign for the dissolution of the auto cratic regime and the transformauon of the existing order. FATHER OF CHURCH REFORM M. Witte Started Movement Whic.n Made Procurator Furious. ST. PETERSBURG, April 7. (12:45 A. M.) The Inside history of the movement for the freedom of the Orthodox church from the bureaucracy of the Holy Synod shows that it owes its initiation to Prosl dont Witte at a meeting of the commit tee of Ministers during the consideration of the quostion of tolerance for all faiths, which was raised by the ukase of Decem ber 25, 1901. M. TVIttc delivered an elo quont speech on the necessity of keeping alive the faith among the Ignorant, poverty-stricken mujlks, who comprise 12 , 000.000 of the population of Russia, and declared that for all the bltternoss and despair of their lives religion was the only compensation. Without faith, he said, the foundation of the whole Russian state would be destroyed. Antonlus, the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg, who was present, .was great ly inipressed, and discussed with" M. Witte the deplorable condition of tho ohurch, and as a result of this discussion M. Witte drew up a momorial to the throne in favor of calling an ecclesias tical council to reform the church admin istrative system. This document was fol lowed by a petition in a similar voin. signed by Metropolitan Antonius and bishops and priests. Procurator Pobedonostseff is reported to have been furious and to have locked horns with M. Witte. He wrote to Em peror Nicholas, advising that the whole question of religious toleration be turned over to the Holy Synod. Tho venerable procurator, however, finding that he could not even command a majority of the synod for his proposition, and much loss against convening a church council, retired from the field beaten. His aide. Stabler, tried to create the impression that M. Pobedonostseff himself favored the .council; but the procurator really was so "chagrined that he is reported to have resigned. This, however, is denied. The Russky Slovo. in giving an account of M. Pobedonostseffs defeat, says: . "The dried-up Idol will fall soon or the ohurch will be paralyzed."

PEASANT MOBS RUN RIOT. Troops Prove Powerless to Prevent Burning and Looting. ST. PETERSBURG. April 6. The re ports of peasant uprisings In the Baltic provinces especially in Lithuania and Courland. continue extremely disquiet ing. Although Cossack and infantry pat rols, are scattered through the country, the troops are unable to stop the -plun- dering of estates by the larger peasant "bands. At Werra. where a. regiment of Cossacks fired on a mob which had com plete possession of the town, the rioters were dispersed, bat they broke tip Into smaller bands, which terrorized the neigh boring landowners. Similar Incidents have occurred at other places. The smaller bands drive off cattle, burn barns and fodder and help themselves to grain and provisions. Dispatches from dozens of places toll of pante produced by the depredations of rovfos: bands of peasants. The agrarian agitation is regarded as the' result of Irritation of the peas ants against tho controlling privileged classes, the savago character of the movement being due to the non-civilization of Russian' village life and the absence of peaceable means of protest.

Chinese, It Is paid by these returned soldiers, partly pil laged the hospitals in Mukden on March 10, before the arrival of the Japanese, but did not harm the wounded or attendants, and acted most humanely toward the Russian wounded on the field, assisting the Japanese to gather them. Russian medical army offlcors recog nized in the Adjutant of General Oku's fifth division a former professor of lan guages In the seminary of Vladivostok. They also met other Japanese officers who formerly were In the Russian service in Manchuria. The returned soldiers describe the con fusion In tho evacuation of Mukden and the fighting in tho narrow streets and at the gates, where Japanese and Chinese ambushed the last detachments and where General Galcfeldt was -wounded and captured. The losses of the Japan ase, according to the foreigners accompanying them, were nearly 100,000. the eight divisions, for ex ample, losing over 7000, yet not being con sidered one of the heavy sufferers..

It provides a safe and sure way of es cape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two following letters tell so con vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes of 640 N. Davi sion Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham: " Your medicine is indeed an Ideal medicine for women. I suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and beanng-dowii pains. I consulted two different physicians out failed to cet any relief. A friend from ' the East advised me to try Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound. I did so, and no longer suffer as I did before.
