Count Witte yesterday, demanding the
convocation of a constituent convention,
believed that such a course was the only
solution of the present situation. He
added: •
"Count Witte asked for our support
and told. 'UR that our views more nearly
corresponded with his than any other
group. But .the support of no party can
now stem tbe tide or affect the final
development of the great national
drama.. A constituent assembly elected
by universal direct suffrage must formu-
late guarantees for the liberties prom-
ised in the manifeeto. It is better for
the Government to realize this immed-
iately than to travel the painful path
over wbich the people will drag it.
Count Witte told. us that universal
suffrage was also bis final aim, but
be disagreed with the methods we pro-
posed, end seal that amidst tho present
axcitement which daily was leading to
bloody collision between the • different
classes of the population, he did not
consider it possible for the Government
to take the responsibility of establishing
universal suffrage. That step anust be
taken by the national assembly itself."'

Labor is a Necessary Tax It
Declares.
Detention. of Women as liostages
.is Criticized.
London, Nov, 5.—The commission
eliargea by the ttoverement of the Con-
go Free State to make an enquiry in the
territory of the state sent in a report
cm Oct, pa, The commission spent five
months- in the lower ana upper Congo,
and received the depositions of several
hundred witnesses, including magis-
trates, commercial agents, missionaries,
and natives. All the hearings were pub-
lic.
The report on the whole expreeses
the satisfaction of the commissioners,
who declare that they were astonished
at the meats achievea by the state in
25 years, A garter of a century ago
the. territories were plunged in barbari-
ty, and were inane decimated \Ingle
Asab traders filled the slave markets.
Now security reigns, the slave trade has
disappeared, and caunibalisen is con-
cealed. Towns have been:founded, and
railways penetrate the very heart o:f
the equatorial forest. Steamers ply on
the Congo, and postal and telegraph
services are working. The administra-
tion occupies and administers efefetive-
ly the affairs of the vast territory, and
comes into contact with the natives
nearly everywhere. The administration
of justice is popular with the natives,
The missionaries have effected a con-
siderable advance in civilization along
the Nile.
The report declares that a tax in the
form of labor is 'the only tax at pres-
et possible, and it is indispensable,
but the commission demands that the
statutory limit of forty hours' work per
month should. not be exceeded.
In regard to various taxes, such as
those on earth, nuts, manioc, bread,
dried fish and game, there are no criti-
cisms, but the report demands tbe sup-
pression of timber cutting for the pur-
pose of fuel for steamers wbereever pos-
sible and. the replacing of it by a labor
tax. The report points out that carry-
ing is a tax which weighs most heavily
on the natives -on account of the enor-
mous quantity of loads, the sparsity of
population ana the scarcity of Provi-
sions along the route where railways
bave not yet been built. The report
suggests the else of waterways and the
building of roads for automobiles, even
if the carrying of the loads is made
more costly.
In regard -to the rubber tax the re-
port says that in itself it is nob onerous,
but the distance that a picker has to
go renders it heavy. It suggests that
the tax should be made collective, so
that the times of payment should. be at
longer intervals. The report criticizes
compulsory labor, not as against guilt,y
natives, but as it is exercised. against
the whole community according to na-
tive principles.
It condemns the detention of women
as hostages and the institution of na-
tive. foremen osed by the tradina com-
panies, evhose abuses of authotit; have
provoked sanguinary conflict. It de -
mends that a law be enacted which
will clearly define the authorities who
are eompetent to order warlike op-
erations, pointing out that commer-
cial agents have sent military expedi-
tions to villages in spite of prohibition
by the administratien.
In regard to mutilation. the commis-
sion declares that the whites have
-never mutilated living natives. They
have mutilated corpses' when found,
(ming the ancient custom of taking
the foot and lin,nd of it corpse as. inn-
gible proof of death.
Throughout the report exonerates
the administration of matters that
have been chiefly eharged against
but there are suggestions here and
there of the mitigation of various me-
thods which tend to show the exist-
ence at any rate of it considerable
amount of abuse.

Montreal Man Found Lying Dying' on
Pavement.
Montreal, Nov. 5.—Charles Alexander,
one of the oldest and best-known citi-
zens of Montreal, about midniglit
last night was found in a dying condi-
tion in front of his bouse, on McKay
street. and passed away shortly after-
wards. It is supposed that Mr. Alexan-
der, when about retiring to bed, found
the room overheated, or was taken sud-
denly and, jumping to the -window,
fell out into the stret. Mr. Alexander,
who was in his ninetieth year, was
apparently in his usual vigorous health
yesterday, and attended to business as
usual.
Mr. Alexander was born in Dundee,
Scotland, in 1816, came to Canada in

"I plead guilty to killing the baby,"
she said. "I put the baby under the
culvert because my brother said be
woad tell my father'and was afraid
of getting ct licking. When I went back
it was deed. I am sorry for what I
have done."
Mr, T. C. Robinette, K.C., made a
strong plea for leniency.
Before pronouncing sentence Mr. Jus-
tice MacMalion said: "I beam given the
case a great deal of consideration, ana
discussed it with Mr. J. J. Kelso alai
the parole officer before .comiug to it

Smallpox in North Peterborough and
Hastings.
Peterbore' despatch: The smallpox situa-
tion in the northern parts of Poterboro'
and Hastings county has become serlotts.
Dr. It. W. Bell, Provincial Health Inspec-
tor, was in the city this morning, returning
from a visit to these districts. He reports
that there are about thirty cases of small-
pox in Pandas and Faraday townships.
Through the carelessness of the employees
of a cheese factory in Chandos, a large
number of boxes of chee.se have been made
under conditions permitting infection. These
will be destroyed. The disease has also
been spread througlt the medium of the
schools, tor it case has occurred in every
family with children attending two schools
in the district. The Whole district has
been placed under ryuarantine. IniX this
quarantine has iu many eases been disre-
warded, and quarantine officials, armed in
some cases with guns, have been placed
upon all the leading highways, in a deter-
mined effort to confine the olitbreak to
the already affected area. About three years
ago smallpox occurred in the adjacent
townships, and vaccination was generally
performed. in Faraday and Chandos, for
some reason, this was neglected, hence the
severity of the outbreak, for or the twenty-
eight cases noted by Dr. Bell, only one vac-
cinnted house has been mildly attacked. It
is expected that the measures taken will
confine the disense to the present distriet.

TOOK CASE FROM JURY.
Not Sufficient Evidence to
Alex. Wills.
St. Thomas report: The Rodney mur-
der trial came to it sudden conclusion
this morning. The crown closed its
case with the evidence of the eleven -
year -old Bessie Cole, who, like her fah;
er, saw Willis passing their place about
7 o'clock the morning of the murder.
C. St. Clair Leitch, for the prisoner,
aegued that there was 110 evidence con-
necting Willis' with the crime, and his
Lordship, Judge Anglin, agreeing, he
ordered. the jury to return a verdict of
not guilby. Willis Will then discharged.
The prosectime attorney, Mr. Lynch -
Staunton, urgeethat the evidence ad-
duced. warranted the case going to
the jury, but his Lordship thought
otherwise. In his mind there was
nothing to connect the prisoner with
the crime and he took the responsibil-
ity' upon himself of directing the jay
to find the prisoner not guilty. In dis-
mission- the prisoner his Lordship ad-
monished him that, this should be a
lesson to him not to loiter about hotels
and to cease his drinking habits.
Willis has been stripped of practi-
cally all lie possessed in anducting iittt
defence. Accompanied by his wife and
family he returned to the farm in AM -
borough, Which is now no longer his.
