Suits Extra Bargains for Today MINISTER MEETS ATTACK PROBLEM Democrats Between Two Fires, and Decision Will Be Long Deferred. Peasant Member Insults Son of Marshal Gourko. BT. PETERSBURG. June L Parlia ment's solution of the agrarian problem, according to Indications In today's de bate in the lower house, will be a long and tedious process. The discussion thus far has reached only the preliminary stage, but, Including the speakers yester day, members representing one-third of the House already have announced their desire to participate in the debate which, at the rate of today's progress, will last ten days. Deliberations in committee will be followed by another open debate, after which the measure will pass to tho Council of the Empire. It Is extremely doubtful whether action will be possible before the Summer receM Is reached. The decision today showed that tho Constitutional Democratic pro ject is satisfactory neither to the right nor the left. The Conservative members are balking at the principle of forced ex propriation, while nothing leas than com plete nationalization of the land will sat isfy the Socialist and peasant members. The latter demand. In addition to land, subsidies for the purchase of agricultural Implements. With slight alterations, however, the project probably will stand us ttie most acceptable basis of comprom ise. Minister Attacks Bill. minister of the Interior Stlchinsky de scended personally into the lists today to meet his parliamentary opponents, attack ing the practicability and sufficiency of the Constitutional Democratic project and outlining the promised administration programme, while M. Uourko. a son of the famous field marshal of that name, assailed the Socialistic principle lurking In the proposed solution of the agrarian problem, saying the Socialists might as well have talked to fhe wind. When Stlchinsky mounted the tribune the Social Democrats ostentatiously arose and left the hall. The utmost endeavors of the chair were necessary in order to se cure for M. Stlchinsky and M. Gourko even a semi-respectful hearing. As soon as the latter had finished, a peasant dep uty named Onymio Jumped to his feet and protested against "wasting time with speeches that were not desired." Anything Better Than Revolt. Professor Hertzcnstein, who was called upon to respond, dismissed M. Gourko's speech as "sophistry." He maintained that expropriation did not infringe on the doctrine of property, but admitted M. Ptlchinsky's argument that turning over the land to unsclentiflo methods of culti vation by peasants would Involve a de crease in the productive capacity of the empire, yet expressed the belief that this would he temporary and not to be com pared with the ravages of another peasant uprising. Professor Herrzensteln did not attempt to furnish a solution of the prac tical difficulties raised by M. Stlchinsky, hut dealt in generalizations on the dis tress of the peasantry and the culpability of tins government. His speech was re ceived with thunderous applause. Prince Lvoff made a strong speech against the practical nationalization of land, the logical sequence of which, he claimed, would be a purely socialistic Btate. Before resuming the debate on the gen eral principles of the agrarian bill a num rr of Interpellations regarding execu tions In various parts of the country were presented in the House today and were referred to the committee charged with the preparation of the bill providing for the abolition of the death penalty. Programme of Labor Party. The labor group in the lower house, which is composed mostly of Socialists, has drawn up and published a programme the essence of which Is settlement of the agrarian problem through local commis sions elected by a direct secret ballot, which shall select for distribution among the peasantry "all land used for the ex ploitation of peasants," namely, land not directly worked by the owners. The labor plank of this platform demands an eight hour workday without decrease of pay, and the establishment of a minimum wage In each locality by commissions composed of workmen. In general tho programme Is a more strict edition of the 'lower house's bill of rights. WARXS CZAR OF COXSKQCEXCES riiest Pays Give Peasants Land or Face Reign of Terror. ST. .PETERSBURG. June 1. Father Foyarskl. an Orthodox priest and a mem ber of Parliament, in a violent open let ter to the Emperor, describes the country as living over volcano and declares that the Government's reply to the lower house of Parliament proves that it utterly falls' to com prehend the temper of the peasantry. He predicts that Its refusal to meet the people's wishes in regard to am nesty and the distribution of land will result In a mass movement among- the peasants, who in their blind fury -will attack not only the landlords, hut the "lntelllgencla" generally, and treat the country to a reign of blood and Are, be fore which the world will 6tand appalled. It Is significant that the Official Messenger has suddenly ceased the publication of provocative Black Hun dred telegrams, which were the sub ject Tuesday of an interpellation of the Government.

North Coast Delegation Secures Con cessions and Is Given 'More Time to Meet Conditions. ST. PAUL, Minn., June 1. (Special.) As the result of a three days' conference with the traffic officials of the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern and the Har rlman lines, eight lumbermen from the North Pacific Coast today succeeded in securing satisfactory terms regarding the new supplement to the lumber tariff fix ing minimum weights. The lumbermen have secured a reduction in the basts of the weights, but to what proportion will not be known until the full details have been worked out. Another thing the lumbermen secured was the postponement of the effective ness of the schedule until July 15, Instead of June 15, as originally announced. The railroads have granted an extension. In order that the shippers may be able to clean up on their present orders, and also have time to adjust themselves to new conditions. The new schedule provides that the cubical capacity of cars shall determine tho minimum weights on which rates are to be charged. The present method of fixing weights Is whether a car is above or below a certain length. The railroads say that ears are not being loaded as carefully as they should be, and consid erable space Is lost. It Is said by one of the officials that the railroads would either have had to raise the rates or fix a scale of minimum weights. The lumber men. It is said, are entirely satisfied with the new arrangement. SPOKANQ Wash., June 1. Advices from St. Paul say the railways have made a reduction of 9 per cent in the minimum weights of lumber shipments, under the new cubical capacity schedule. The new tariff -will bo effective about July 15. PLATFORM FOR PEACE. Molionk Conference Proposes Three Main Planks to Nations. LAKE MOHONK. N. T.. June 1.

They have heard with gratification that In many of the leading colleges and univer sities of this country the undergraduate stu dents have been led to the study of methods by which Justice may be secured among na tions without resort to war. This conference has welcomed to Its pro ceedings the representatives of 50 chambers of commerce, boards of trade and other com mercial organisations, and It urges upon them and other like Institutions not now represented nere to consider and act upon the measures which are from time to time proposed for the promotion of peace. This conference regards the approaching assembling ot a Fan-American congress In Hlo Janeiro as likely to promote mutual un derstanding, and cessq,uat food will among the state of Xorth. Central and Bourn America. At the present time it Is important that publlo attention should be concentrated upon the second Hague conference soon to be as sembled. We hope and believe that the ben eficial results of the former conference will be equaled and perhaps surpassed by fur ther deliberation in the land of Orotlua upon the Drlnclplea of International law and the best methods for the paclflo settlement of international difficulties. Especially w hope that the second Hague conference will elaborate and propose a plan by which' like conferences may be held at stated periods, and that In the Intervals ap propriate offices may be maintained at The Hague, so that these conferences may be come a permanent and recognised advisory congress of the nations. A general arbitration treaty to be for mutated by The Hague conference Is most desirable, and will doubtless be accepted by all or nearly all the countries represented In the conference. Among other subjects of Importance, the many unsettled questions' arising out . of maritime warfare. Including the exemption of private property from seizure at sea. and the neutralization of ocean routes are respectfully recommended to the considera tion of The Hague conference. As the gen eral restriction of armaments can be se cured by concurrent international action, as unanimously recommended by the British House of Commons, we earnestly hope that this subject will receive a favorable consid eration. 'While we shall welcome any action taken by the oomlng Hague conference In the way of clearly defining the rights and obligations of belligerents as to each other, and as to neutrals: of lessening the horrors of war. and of giving increased stability and protec tion to the red cross movement: it is our hope that the conference will remember that It Is consecrated to the great work of end ing as well as softening war. and of subject ing the relations of nations to the dominion of law, rather than force. J. B. Scott, solicitor of the State De partment, was one of the speakers at the evening session. Emlln McClean, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Iowa, spoke on the general subject of arbitration. Five-minute speeches were made by General James Grant Wilson and Jenny Richards, of Washington. Rev. Floyd Tompkins, of Philadelphia; Dr. Philip Moxom, of Springfield, Si ass., and Professor Bracq, of Vassar College, made the closing addresses and the conference adjourned.
