ST. PKTERSHl'RG. Dec. i. ill
The new electoral law was gaxetted today
and was accompanied by a statement ex
plaining that In view of the fact that even
aome of the western countrle do not per
ntlt universal suffrage the cabinet could not
aasume the responsibility of decreeing It.
The ultimate decision must be nmde by the
national assembly Itself. The election list
will be published forthwith, the date of tha
elections will then be announced, and as
soon a the government receives notification
that half of the member arc elected the
national assembly will be convoked. The
extension of the suffrage proclaimed today
applies especially to the cities where It I
made almost universal. Reside the work
men In the factories and mills, who are
especially provided for, the Biiffrage will
include every owner of real estate paying
taxes, persons conducting enterprises, like
shop keeper paying licenses.
Others entitled to vote are persons paying
a lodging tax or occupying separate lodging
and persona in the. government service, in-
cludins: railroad men. All limit of rent paid
Dy lodging holder as a voting qualification
H rem0ved. The Indirect system of two
degrees of voter In both the title and
country is retained.
A Sew Feat at re.
A new feature of the law is that the
workmen, Instead of being allowed a speci
fied number of class representatives, have
to take their chance In the electoral col
leges with the other classes. Moreover,
Instead of the cities having separate repre
entatlves, the electoral college will bo com
posed by tne province. The workmen will
choose an elector for every lO.Oftt) men. The
result is shown In the case of the province
wiiile the workman electors are the largest
class, they will only be able to elect repre
sentative In combination. The new law
Is a great extension of the law of August.
Jt contain element which certainly will
apfieal to conservative opinion, hut with
the slogan of "universal suffrage" ringing 1
In the popular ear It will prove a great dls-
appointment and I certain to furnish the '
proletariat organizations with a new
weapon for agitation. They no longer want
concessions. They are boldly proclaiming j
that nothing but the complete overthrow i
of the autocracy and the eatablishmetil of
a democratic republic will satisfy them.

HEARING BEFORE SUTTON CONTINUES
Third Ward Member Hold v .
Connell largely Responsible for
Manlpulatln Firework
at tbt C lt Hall.
Tha city council meeting of October 11
was held again Tuesday morning In Judge
Button i-.iurt, when President Zlmnian
took the stand in the gas contract hearing.
It had been about wound up by Assistant
Attorney lierdman. preceding Mr. Zlm
nian. but not entirely dosed. A running
analysis of parliamentary law- and legisla
tive proceeding had occurred between
Messrs. Herdman. t'onnell and Weaver,
but It really settled Into no agreement on
"pint."
In his account of the council meeting
President Zlmman handed Mr. Conuell
all kinds of credit for the direction and
manipulation of the morning Jousting of
Immortal local memory, lie also said that
at one point he had opened a window In
the council chamber and suggested lo Dave
O'Brien that he Jump out. Mr. O Rrhn
courteously declined and reniulned for the
ruction, as a true Irishman would be ex
pected to do.
Mr. Zlmman insisted that the minority
member of the council were In the chamber
under Imprisonment.
"I wanted to leave,'' he said, "to prevent
the passage of the ordinance and the milk
ing of the contract. I wanted also to get
Mr. Connell out of the chamber, because
then I thought we would be able to miniatse
the majority, as we often had before; but
he was there to guide them and he steered
them right. He was parading up and down
the floor at ont time like one of those flyini;
Dutchmen, with his oont tails standing otii
level with hi shoulder."
,ot on tlve Square.
The meat of Mr. Zlmnian' icHiiiuony
went to support his declaration that the
gas contrat did not go through the city
council on tho square.
"I mean those words," said he, "as Theo
dore Roosevelt means on the squure."
In reply to questions by Mr. Oilier. Zim
man said he had put himself into communi
cation with many cities on the lighting
question and had studied up on figures and
literature. Ho had come to the conclusion
there was no appreciable difference be
tween an eighty and a sixty candle-power
street lamp and had therefore expressed a
willingness to vote for the contract on the
$26 bid. He thought even that bid was too
high, would consider a $;o rate exorbitant
and to $18 a Vair price.
"I insisted the city ought not to pay
more than private consumers for gas In
my opinion the company wac making a
clean profit of $35,000 a year. Some of this
profit was being absorbed in the form of a
royalty of M a year to the Welsbach com
pany, which Is controlled by tho Fame In
terests as control the Omaha company."
Mr. Zimman gave It as his understand
ing that the Dmaha Oas company was
bonded for $2,500.0flo. In addition to Its cap
ital stock of $5.no0.0tt. The company pays
a royalty to the city of 5 per cent per
l.W'O cubic feet, or 5 cents for every $1.3.
worth of gas sold to consumers in Omaha
exclusive of the city. During 1! the
city realized from this royalty something
tike $17,000.
On cross-examination Mr. Zlmman ad
mitted It was by a mutual understanding
that he, O'Riien and Nicholson remained
I away from tne regular meeting" or Octo
ber 10 and for the purpose of breaking n
quorum.
Asked by Mr. Council about the electric
light contract and whether
he had dis-
cussed It with Mr. Nash, Zlmman said he
bad talked with Mr. Nash and had voted
for the contract In council,
Nailed down as to his intention when
he went to the council meeting of October
11. witness 'admitted to Connell he fully
intended to leave If any attempt was made
to act on the gas contract.
"We depended on the unfamlllarlty of
the majority with parliamentary law to
beat them. They had no mail nf ability
on the floor, but the mayor nnd yourself
(Connelli directed them this time."
Gas In HI Pocket.
Mr. Connell went after witness on the
gun toting proposition, it having been )
brought out that Nicholson at one point
had asked Zlmman for a gun; that he "was 1
going out." Witness admitted that he
hud often carried a gun In his pocket to I
the council chamlier, seventy-five or Ion J
times. He has also had the gun In his j
pocket one day In court during the last
week. He waa In the habit of carrying
a gun for many years when away from
his room, when going to cull on hi glii
and getting home late.
"You weren't afraid of the young woman,
were you?" asked Mr. Connell.
"No," replied Mr. Zlmman, "but getting
nut late at night I always liked to be pro
tected." Of his daylight gun toting the president
j of the council

These prices, the affidavit says, are based
on an all night and every night contract.

eighty and a sixty candle-power lamp on
the Judgment of the nuked eye. Person
ally, he would never advise a contract for
over sixty candle power If he were buying
ga as city doe. He gave it as bis
judgment that the present ga lights are
about eipial to thirty-two candle power or
perhaps forty.

Henouucee It and Criticises t'oai
twerelal Club's Recommendation.
Councilman Pyball object to txing cen
sured for refusing to support the Gregg
forty-three-year ga franchise and Tuesday
morning he expressed himself rather vigor
ously about the matter, saying:
"If the people thoroughly understood that
ordinance they would not be kicking now
because we killed it. It waa the worst
piece of foolishness I ever have seen intro
duced in 1 lie council. It would have been
an outrage to have adopted it. A casual
reading of the ordinance would convince
anyone that It waa not a fit piece of
legislation. The E editorial ou the mat-
ter Monday morning lilt the nail on the
head It would have been n extension of
the gas company franchlar fr thirty year.
I accused the gs company of that when
the matter waa up. OreCK would not tell
u who wa fcack of hltii- When I asked
him he said he had letter from a Cleve
land Iwnk. I never saw the letter, but
he said the mayor and ZliViman had them,
t don't know what they Old with them If
they did have them. I
The ordinance provided 1 for $1 gas for
fotty-threo year. Well. Mi miss my gues
If we are not getting g for Tf rent
within that time. Beside, that ordinance
j rut out the royalty now paid by the gas
t company until the txth year of the con
I tract. That would have been a nice thine
for a council to do. Why. the thing wa
rank from start to finish.
"And to think the Commercial club held
a meeting and called our attention to the
$1 ga ordinance. Think of the Commer
cial club doing a thing like that: The
member did not Investigate the ordinance
or It wouldn't have ben done. A few men
got up there and said It was the proper
thing and It wa done In the name of the
club. That's the way these things ar
usually done and always will be done, I
suppose. The large majority of club mem
ber will follow a few men who pretend to
be the leaders.
"We. were after cheaper gas. Everybody
wants cheaper gas. We got cheaper ga
for the consumer nnd for the city. Now,
why should we be abused because we
didn't pass the Oregg ordinance? That
Oregg ordinance wasn't the thing to pas.
It wouldn't have saved the people of
Omaha anything. It would have cost more
in the long run. If the people would read
that ordinance they would see where It
should have been killed."

li'ms Kynter, n Inmate of the Deten

oped Tuesday morning, and fear are en
tertained that as all of the inmate have
been exposed, they may contract the dis
ease. At this time only ten boy and girls
are In the home and the afflicted one ha
been isolated and every precaution has
been laUen to prevent a spread of the dis
ease, though some fear the precaution has
been taken too late.
In the meantime City Physician Ralph
has tacked a card on the door of the home
and Judge Day will not udmlt any more
little fellows until the disease ha been
entirely wiped out. This ha put the pro
bation oflicern up against a serious proposi
tion, a3 Mogy BernBteln now has in his
charge one little 0-year-old boy, whose
mother has Just tiled a complaint against
him. This little fellow has been In the
home on a previous occasion and only a
week ago lie stabbed' another little fellow
under the eye. Mogy Is preparing to fix
up a room at his own house, unless some
lie tu-r plan suggests itself, and take the
Imi.v there and keep him until the Deten
tion home is In siiaiie to receive him.
The Kynter boy ha been in the home
four weeks and hud been suffering witha
sore throot for several days, but It waa
not until Tuesday morning that the trouble
developed into scarlet fever. I'p to this
time, of course, he had not neon Isolated
nnd thus the other children have had a
splendid opportunity to contract the die
case. It may be several day before it Is
known definitely whether any of the other
children have bceii Infected.

claims any intention of replying to those I
whom It calls the detractors of the church.
and expresses the desire not to offend
anyone, siylng that its chief objects are
to enlighten the public regarding the facts
and to prevent the handing down of nils
statement connected with the history of
uch an Important event.
Throw Onna on Cabinet.
In the leading chapter an effort la made
to demonstrate that the entire onu for
the rupture between the Vatican and the
FTench government and the resultant
separation of church and state rest with
various French cabinets, the member of
which pursued an anti-religious policy. In
cluding the suppression of the congrega
tions and religious Instruction In the
school.
The book next proceed with the refuta
tion of the accusation that separation was
rendered inevitable by the attitude of the
church. It declares that this charge wa
made because French statesmen, knowing
that the people of France had no desire
for separation, wished to disclaim respon
sibility for the cunseiiuences. which, it Is
pointed out, would lie equally serious for
France nnd the church.

Then follows arguments showing the
alleged baselessness of the charge brought
against the church of acting contrary to
the Interests of the republic.
The question of the nomination of bishops
Is discussed at length.
The appendix deal in the main with
the French protectorate over Catholics in
the far east, and the argument is advanced
that although this protectorate I founded
