WHAT REBELS W A!
Platform of the Russian Social
Revolutionists.
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."
CALL THE
PEOPLE TOGETHER
Exchange of Samara Predicts Disas
ter From Further Delay.

excitement, and that a terriblo catas
trophe is only avoidable by immediately

tation on the commission which Is con

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.

SCENES AT MUKDEN'S CAPTURE
Returned Russian Soldiers Tell Inci
dents of tne Battle.
ST. PETERSBURG. April 7.-02:47 A.
M.). Invalided Russians who left Mukden
on March 26 report that the Hun River
bridge had not then been restored. The
Japanese, in removing Russian wounded
from Mukden carried them as far as the
river in bamboo litters and then entrained
them on the farther side. 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.. The
greatest losses were in the troops oppos
ing General Linlevltch. where the struggle
was much longer and of more Intensity.
The Japanese placed the number of guns
captured during the retreat at 22. and also
eaptured thousands of abandoned rifles
and immense quantities of boxed rifle am
munition, and, according to the Chinese,
tne Japanese are now arming tnelr re
serves with Russian rifles.
The Japanese army Is healthy, excel
lently clothed and well shod, and its mor
ale is excellent, according to those sol
diers. Japanese officers admitted that they
concentrated every last effort to win the
battle, and -threw their entire reserves
Into the fighting line, leaving the rear
communications entirely unprotected.
They realized that, had the Russians
thrown a heavy force, even of cavalry, in
the roar, their position would have been
critical, but they counted rightly on Rus
sian inertia and were confident of vic
tory.

PAINFUL PERIODS
Suggestions How to Find Relief from Such
Suffering.
While no woman is entirely free from I
periodical suffering-, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrua
tion is a severe strain on a woman's
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de
rangement of the whole female organ
ism. More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
ful and irregular menstruation.
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. My periods
are natural ; every ache and pain is gone, and
mr general health is much Improved. I
advise all women who suffer to take Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound."
Mrs. Tillie Hart,of Larimore, N. D.,
writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"I might have hare been spared many
months of suffering and pain had I only
known of the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham's
