The government and the opposition have come to' an agreement on the prin cipal point tn the bill relating to agri cultural arrangements between ihe great land owners snd the peasants, namely,, on the question of ths pas tu rages to be granted to the peasants. Owners Of more than 150 hectacres of land will voluntarily sell to the peax- 1 ants pasture lands not exceeauiir ona 1 eighth of -the extent of their .estates. All tho abuses- of agricultural usury aro . suppressed and placed under se vere penalties ,as the result of th!s agreement The- law will be voted .y faruament ana put into roroo wun east possible delay.

One of the rules Is to ths effect that all employes must be In bed and the Hants out by 10:30 o'clock at night It was reported to the new superintendent that some, of the male attendants were in the habit of whll- Ing away the hours of ths night with a friendly same or card a and in ,tnls case were up aa late as tin.

In place of the usual 10 days' suspension for infraction of the rules the five offending employes were discharged and warned that no Imme diate restoration to the state Davroll could be hoped for. although one had been employed at the - asylum for If years.
