Members of the nobility in each province and district will be allowed to elect representatives on these commit tees, but the Zemstvos (elective provin cial assemblies, composed of landed proprietors and representatives of the artisan and peasants) will be appointed by the governors. The committees will be allowed free dom to discuss the project and propose any changes therein, except on three points, which the emperor has reserved from discussion. Namely: That the peasant class must remain entirely sep arate, legally, from the other classes ; that the commune is to remain un touched by legislation, and that the peasant lands are to remain inalien- able. , - ‘ ■ These points stamp the forthcoming legislation as conservative in the main, but the present chaos is so great and so much room is left for the arbitrary conduct of the police and the local rep resentatives of the ministry of the in terior, as well as. of the peasant courts and administrative machinery and their commune town meetings that the liberals declare any codification would be in the line of progress. The ministerial project proposes to regain the system of corporal punish ment, but the emperor did not include this among the matters not subject to change. The emperor regards the preservation of the peasant class, the retention of the economic commune and the inalienability of peasant lands as necessary for the protection of the peas ants from exploitation.

Washington, Jan. 8.— “ An svent so- striking and so romantic in its charact er, involving so much of heroism and sacrifice on the part of those engaged in It, and resulting In benefits so great and enduring to our country, is, in the judgment of your committee, w ell worthy of commemoration by this gov ernment.” . \T With these words, dhd after fully re-' viewing the purpoees and plans of the Lewis and Clark centennial exposition, the senate committee on industrial ex positions today unanimously com mended Senator M itchell’ s bill to tho favorable consideration of the senate. The committee makes no material amendments in the bill as it was origi nally introduced, and makes no cut whatever in the appropriation, the amount called for remaining at $2,125,- 000. - The bill was altered in only one en sential feature. Section 9, which car ries a lump appropriation oi $1,500,000, as direct government aid, is amended to provide that this money shall be ex pended under direction of the national commission and not under direction of the Lewis and Clark corporation. Tbe committee found that in every instance where the government had aided expo sitions, the government funds were ex pended by the government commission, which was under control of the presi dent. The exposition corporation i» not subject to this control. Therefore- the change. Section 20 was amended to provide- that expenses incurred by consular, military and naval officers in the Ori ent, in the collection of exhibits for'the- exposition, should be defrayed from the $1,500,000 appropriation. The only other change in the bill, aside from alteration in phraseology, occurs in section 4, which provides for the appointment of a board of arbitra tion to whom all matters of difference arising between the national commis sion and the exposition company shall be referred. Instead of allowing the exposition corporation and the state commission two members each on this* commission, membership is restricted to one member each, making the total four instead of six.

Colon, Jan. 13.— The schooner Her ald, which arrived here yesterday even ing from Bocas del Toro, brought a commissioner from the island of San Andres who will endeavor to obtain the- annexation of San Andres to the repub lic of Panama, owing to the dissatis faction of the inhabitants of the island at the recent oppressive actions on the- part of Colombian authorities. The- commissioner will go to Panama and confer with the junta. He says" 4001 Colombia a troops are now in garrison on the islands of San Andres and Provi dence, and that more soldiers are ex pected momentarily. The dissatisfac tion, he adds, is general throughout the islands. San Andres does much' business with the United States in co- coanuts, about 20,000,000 of these nuts being shipped there annually. Panama is desirous of annexing San Andres and Providence, but. it is be lieved that steps in that direction at the present moment would be inop portune.
