Czar Gives Diet Control.
On the advice ol: Count Witte and Prince
John Obolcnsky, Emperor Nicholas yield
ed and signed a manifesto, not only con
voking the Diet, but giving it control of
the budget, and authorizing an election
law providing for universal suffrage. An
other manifesto abrogates the military
and other laws of Russiucatlon. These
have been dispatched by fast torpedo
boats to Helsingfors, where they arc due
to arrive tonight.
Dr. Turngrcnd. the leader of the Finnish

The inanlfesto of Emperor Nicholas con

Bobrlkoffs Illegal enactments, an
nuls the manifesto of February 15, 1893,
which provides for common legislation

enacted. It announces that the extra

revision of the Diet's electoral bases. The possession of the old-line Republicans, and

Senator Dubois has been cheek by Jowl
with the party leaders of Northern Idaho
and because he was courted, both at
Lewlston and at Moscow, by party work
ers, lends color to this story.
Undoubtedly tho statement that Senator
Dubois may again enter the Republican
fold will be denied, not only by tho
senior Senator himself, but his friends
as well, who will regard the publication
of this rumor at this time as premature.
But let events take their course, and
we shall see what we shall see.

turned many Republicans into the Bryan
camp, was a Republican. From free sil

LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 4. Tonight saw
the practical close of a state campaign
that has been listless and without Inter
est. Aside from a few counties where
the contest for local offices is bitter,
there has been no canvass whatever, and
er placed J500O to 54SCO that Jerome would probably not to exceed half a dozen state
win. Cn the Ivlns side J300 was placed meetings have been nem tnrougnout tne
against J1000 that Ivlns would lose. Two
to five was offered on Hearst against the
field.
Claims of Candidates.
The party candidates published state
ments today. William M. Ivlns declared
he was gaining votes by thousands each
day. Mayor McClellan said he was never
so confident as now, and Mr. Hearst's
managers said he would be elected. Tam
many Hall's executive committee met
thin 'afternoon, but ''Mr. Murphy declined
to give out figures tonight on the election.
The estimates are at wide variance, but
the whole Greater New York, situation
tonight winding up, as it does. In one
great whirlwind of political meetings In
every section of the city, makes the pre
diction fair that the result will be close.
The spcechmaklng end of the campaign
closed for the candidates tonight, all ad
dressing big meetings.
The distinctive features of the campaign
have been the Independent canvass for
re-election to the office ot District Attor
ney conducted by William Travers Je
rome, and the entrance Into the arena
of local politics as a separate organiza
tion supporting practically a full ticket
of the Municipal Ownership League. Both
of these events stand" forth, according to
observers of things political, as epoch
making incidents in that they are acccpt-
campalgn. This Is the olt year m Ne
braska, only three state officers being
elected an Associate Justice ot the Su
premo Court and two Regents of the
University, with four tickets in the field
Republican. Democratic-Populist, Prohi
bition and Socialist. There la fusion be

At the headquarters of the Republican
State Central Committee. Chairman War
ner said there was not the least doubt
nr -nniihllwin success. He declined to
rive flcures. but party leaders confidently
nredicted a Republican plurality of not
less than 15,000 and probably as high as
aa.ooo.
Chairman Allen, of the Democratic
Committee, said the Republican claims
.ire excessive and he would not concede
defeat. On the contrary, he said the
Dfmocratlc Committee had ground for
confidence.
Nonpartisan estimates are that the Re
publicans will win by a plurality of not
less than 12,000.
Chairman Charles Dick, of the Republl
can State Committee, today gave out the

Jerome's Great Campaign.
The canvass of Mr. Jerome, who i
running independently, have been made
notable by his. oft-rcpeatcd denunciation
of both the -: Republican and t of the
"Democratic party leaders and his asser
tions of utter Independence have marked
him for the special attack of those who
follow implicitly party leadership. His
'candidacy has been indorsed by lawyers
generally, and subscriptions for his eata
ble for an open attack on the Mormon
element dominant In both municipal and
state affairs. The American party, or

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 4. Count
Wltte is getting his hands on the helm
and the Russian ship ot state is begin
ning to right itself. Gradually the dis
order that followed the proclamation of
the constitution giving the people liberty,
Is being put down. The Premier has mec
the Immense difficulties confronting hinj
and the pressure of the demands ot tho
different classes or society with energy
and sincerity that are more and moro
giving him the support of the mQderata
Liberals, who have been frightened by
the carnival of disorder Jhto which tho
country has been plungM and the Inordi
nate demands of the proletariat under the
leadership of the "reds and Social Demo
crats. Freedom or the press and general
amnesty except for crime have followed
each other, but Count Wltte has stead
fastly refused to yield to the demand for
the organization of a national guard, on
the ground that It would be equivalent
to arming the Socialists to fight and de
stroy the whole government between mid
night and morning.
Grants Rnllrond Men's Demands.
Count Wltte today solved the railroad
strike at a conference with the strike
leaders, at which ho did not hesitate to
make a practical surrender of the gov
ernment' reasonable demands. The basis
of settlement is comprised In the follow
ing communication sent to the strike
committees throughout the empire: '
First T;he remuneration ot all railroad
employes Is Increased, and tne Duagec
of 1906 will be revised to provide there
for.
Second The creation of a commission
on which tne employes arc w
elected representatives to consider ques
tions of improvement In their condition
Third Permission Is given railroad em
ployes and workmen to have a co-opera
tive organization based on the models ot
Western Europe and the United States.
Fourth The abolition of military regu
lations applying to railroads.
Fifth Freedom of meeting for employes
of railroads to discuss questions ot
strikes without notice being given to tho
tpollcc.
Slxth-lnvlolablllty of the person or.
strikers and the re-employment of men
dismissed for - striking.
Seventh The cancelling of all circulars
limiting the employment of Poles on tho
Polish Southwestern and permission to
use the Polish language In private.
Under this settlement all the railroads
are resuming work today.
Grants Autonomy to Finland.
Quite as important was Count Wltte'a
decision In connection with the situation
In Finland. He fully realizes the neces
sity of appeasing the aspirations of tho
Finns and proposed to the Emperor tho
entire reversal of the policy of Russlflca
tlon of Finland, to which he himself ha3
alwavs been opposed, and the restoration
of the old civil and military liberties of!
the CTand duchy. The Associated Press!
hears that Emperor Nicholas was con
vinced by Count WItte's arguments as to
the- necpssltv for such a step and tho!
proclamation may be issued tonight-
Meantime General Trepoft is restoring

Newspapers Applaud AVitte.
Without exception, the newspapers
express their appreciation of the enor-j
mous task Count Wltte has assumeel
and. while some of them doubt his sur
cess in view of the obstacles he will
encounter, both from below and abo
there is no attempt to question the sinj
