Election of New Duma.
A despatch from St. Petersburg says:
As a result of recent conferences the
Go.ernnu'tit bus decided t►nla(itrIy on
December 30 as the dote fit• holding the:
election mf n embers to the new Parlia-
ment. As fur as possible thee° (lee -
liens will be held simultaneously
throughout the empire. A circular has

I
ditalGovernment can(I:daiee.
The terns "Government candidate" is
;fined t , andtheir
Red to �p the Opct )t 1 eats Chet
attic's, but where there is no chance for
the election of these candidates the in-
fluence of the Government will be thrown
an the side of the Regenerationists in
order to deafeat the constitutional De-
mocrats.
CAMPAIGN METHODS.
The circular suggests a number of
measures to hamper the campaign of
the opposition parties, including the
deportation and imprisonment of per-
nicious agitators. As practically the
entire press favors the constitutional
Democrats and the more radical parties
the carious Governors are directed to
turn the official gazettes, published in
the lnrger towns of each province, into
campaign organs.
NEED OF HASTE.
There is a strong desire to inke ad-
vantage of the print tranquility and
conclude the elections before the Rus-
sian Christmas, hence rho Government
may disregard the six weeks' interval
which, according to law, must elapse
between the publication of the election
lists and • election day. If the lists of
vc.t.ers on the borderlands rand elsewhere
are delayed in corning in the ukase to
make public announcement of the elec-
tions may not be issued.

tion is growing more serious. The nu-
lhorities are preparing rigor.lusly to

attempt of the convicts here to break
out of jail on Tuesday night led to a
serious fight, during which nine con-
victs and the Governor of the prison
were killed, and a number of persons
were wounded. Seventeen -convicts suc-

WORKMEN RECOVER FIREARMS.
A despatch from St. Petersburg says:
At Tashkent, in Asiatic Russia, a de-
tuctunerct of gendarmes, who on Wed-
nesday seized a shipment of 238 revol-
vers and 16,000 cartridges destined for
the revolutiontsts, were later attacked
and defeated by an armed party of
workmen, who carried off the greater
part of the revolvers and 8,000 cart-
ridges.
Regarding the repeated rumors that
the Government is contemplating the
issue of another loan, it is authorita-
ti5ely stated that no loan, foreign or
domestic, was contemplated, except the
internal loan to be issued about Dec. 1
in order to balance the budget on the
new year. The amount of this loun
has not been definitely fixed.
PROTEST FROM JAPAN.
Against Treatment of Japanese Chil-
dren in Galitornla.
A despatch from Washington says:
Viscount Aoki, the Japanese Ambassa-
dor, at a conference with Secretary
Boot on 'i'lurrsday tirade the request on
behalf of his Government that the United
States see that Japanese subjects in
California were accorded their full
rights under the treaty of 1894, including
the right of children freely tee attend
the public schools of San Francisco.
Secretary (toot will take the matter up
with the President, and it is likely that
representations will be made to the
a •lies. The Ambassador said the
ext sion of Japanese children from San
Francisco schools was the chief cause of
the harsh criticisms of the United
State's. Ile was inclined to discount the
other causes given for the sentiment
against the United States.
The action against the Japanese is
regarded as extremely serious by Vis-
count Aoki, rind he matte no attempt
t 1 discount its importance. "Atter the
years of friendship between the two
mincers," surd ire, "it seems too bad
that the poor innocent little Japanese
school children should be sul;ected to
such indignities."

Th artillery and the principal equip-

"POVERTY AND P
.1..1.11.
RADICAL SPEECH OF MEUBEII OF
BRITISU GOVERNMENT.
Some of the Meet Causes of Poverty
-Drinking and Galubling the
Most Fertile.
Some idea of the attitude of leaders
of the present Got crnmeit towards eo-
cial questions is given by the rlrcl:mg
speech of Mr. Lloyd eicerge, \'.1'., at a
ntcetirig in Merionethshire, Wales, held
under the auspices of (Pc Society for
Social Service of North \\ ales Wesley -
tins.
There were ten millions In this coun-
Ir) the said) enduring year after year
the torture of living on, lacking a suf-
ficiency of the bare necessities of life;
and all lhiS extsl i splendid
plenty, which poured into a land so
wealthy that it could afford to lend out
t
o. its spare rictce't5 thousands of mil-
lions to lees well endowed lands in
other parts of the world.
THE CAUSES OF POVERTY.
What are s•wne of the direct causes
of poverty? '!'here was the fact that a
tltao's earnings wero not adequate to
maintain himself and fancily. 'There
was the 'nubility to obtain employment
for economic reasens. Thirdly, there
was the inability of sten to pursue their
avocation, owing to sickness, old age,
or inherent lack of physical stamina •.r
Virtuality. And then there was the
most fertile cause of all, a mans own
improvident or imprudent habits, such
as drink and gambling. The drink
problem was the most urgent problem
of the hour for our rulers to grapple
with. -
Next year the Government meant to
wrestle with it in -earnest. They would
require all the aid all orgnnizations for
the elevation and improvement of the
telt of humanity could give thein. There
were potent forces in existence which
profited hugely by this degradation.
!tow powerful these bodies were, those
who recollected the abject way in which
the late Governrnent surrendered to their
menaces could well understand.
FAIiIER DISTRIBUTION NEEDED.
Reverting to the fact that drink was
not the only cause of poverty, Mr.
Lloyd George went on to say that there
was plenty of wealth in this country to
provide for all and to spare. What
was wanted was a fairer distribution.
Ile would give a local illustration. There
was a gond deal of temporary depres-
sion in the slate industry in this part
cf the world, which he trusted would
soon pass awny. (Ilear hear). Yet there
were two teen in the county of Carrier -
eon whose combined incomes were equal

Attempt.
Whether or not \tr. \\'alter \\'eliman
succeeds in his proposed aerial dash
fu; the polo this month, and whether
or not the enterprise is prompted by
the scientific. spirit or by a deit'e for
advertisement, it weals certain that the
big dirgible ballnori in which ho is to
make his attempt is a remarkable piece
of work, entirely apart from its great
size. The balloon, we arc told in an
article contributed to the Scientific
American l•, its Paris correspondent,
has been designed and constructed with
very care Io,rs GodardOrd at
his
aeronautic establishment near Paris.
SUBSTANTIALLY BUILT.
Ile says: -"The most casual observer
will notice its substantial construction,
and it seems likely to weather the se-
verest shocks which it may receive in
the voyage toward the pole. No less
than seven thicknesses have been used
by Mr. Godard in making the canvas.
The principal novelty lies in the use et
layers of pure Para rubber, which are
placed between the layers of silk and
cotton canvas. '?'his is tete first tim4
that a light, as well as a strong, en:
velope has been secured In this way:
Starting from the inside, we have first
a layer of strong and specially woven
French silk fabric; then, on the silk 1s
applied a layer of rubber, and on top
of this comes a layer of cotton canvas.
A thinner layer of rubber conies next,
and then a second layer of cotton. Over
this ad forming the outer coating of tete
balloon is a thin layer of rubber.
VERY STRONG.
Such a combination of layers is very
resistant, both to the pressure of the
gas and In the moisture, which Is one
c! the well known features to be met:
with in the polar regions. Seeing that
the rubber is attacked by the attnos-
pherc, it is not a usual thing to place
it on the outside of the balloon; but,
in the present cnse it has been used foe
a number of reasons, the principa%
ones bt?ing -That the airship w111 be in
use but comparatively short time, and
that it was desired to have n smooth
surface and especially to avoid the pene,
(ration of moisture into the tissues of
tho balloon, which would weigh it
down.
"\Vhat is striking ahnut the whale
construction is the preen:AI ideas wt►iclt
prevail in the design of all the parts.
Thus instead of using a long cigars
shaped body, Mr. Godard preferred to
shorten up the balloon considerably,
and give a length which is only three
tines the largest diameter, so as to
make it quite steady and easy to handle
in the filling operations as well as in
the actual flight. 'Thus we hare a hal-
GREAT BRITAIN.
The Rank of England has advanced
its discount rate to 6 per cent.
Great Britain will remove twenty
efficient ships from active duly in order
to economize for an active fleet.
Lord! 't'weedrnoufh, First lord of the
Admiralty, says that the recent econo-
mies will not injure the British navy.
"The main cabin, matte of Maier. is
somewhat above a man's height and
covers the whole width of the nacelle,
hnving almost a culieal forst. On (•i-
ther side aro six windows of a light
basket work, nn(1 other windows are
made in the front and rear of the cabin.
A complete set of wireless -telegraphy
apparatus Is to be inslalied in the cabin.
The mast wire is formed by the steel
guide rope cable which trails upon !her
