SECOND DUMA ' MAY NEVER ASSEMBLE
ttrlarmrr I ndrr Ban 8r t'nIHIn
llv Not Imiimrrd and Mil
lion People May Starve
to Death.
NEW YOfRK. Feb. 15.-Alxls Alludln,
lender of the neaaant party In Russia, ar
rived here today. He purposes to tour the
country In the rause of freedom In Russia.
He alreudy tins been Invited to speak at
Harvard and Yule. Mr. Alludln said upon
his arrival today thst he would not be
surprised of the new Duma Is never oruun
lsid. "It Is now too late to stop the
, progress of liberty In ItuaMu," lie suld.
' "The liberal Bentlmcnt Is so broadcast and
general thnt It will come to the front In
plte of all, government opposition."
Although born a peasant, Alludln studied
at the University of Kasan, . from which
he was expelled for voicing liberal opin
ions. He then orguntaed trades unions In
the vicinity of Ksiin. for which he was
Attested and sentenced to four years' Im
prisonment, to be followed by eight years'
- exile In north Russia. He esraped to Qer.
Many, but returned when the rsar's libera
tion manifesto was issued.. He was elected
a deputy to the Duma und fgututed the
pea pant and labor party. He Is Its present
leader, although prevented by the govern
ment from being nominated for the stcond
Duma.
Mr. 'Alludin said thnt the condition of
the poorer classes In Rursla Is extremely
desperate. He believes, he cald, that more
than a million per us will tile In that
country during the 1 xt three months from
starvation.
I'nlcas the constitution"?.", rights demanded
by the Russian people are Immedlatilv
granted, Mr. Alludin asserted, there '-'i
be one of the gre.itrst strikes the wrid
hns ever seen. The Russian navy will Jilu
In' the revolt from the first; he declsres.
and will be quickly followed by the army.
I'ontlltltkua Xot Impruvcvl.
"The rondltloa' In Russia have not Im
proved (luring the )at year," said the
piuisant leader. "Thirty- millions of peoj l
In KiiMiu re tmlny practlcully on the print
if starvation and during March, April and
May It la likely that l.cro.OV r'Ple will
die. It Is my diKrv to nr;e.! to lh
Aihert'Uii -e.ple to hlp my dl-trcs cl
countrymen, but whatever money may bs
r-.led here I don't want It to fall Into the
hands of the Rtisshin government ofrtrttls.
The American relief committees should
haVe thrlr own representatlvea In Ruanla
to distribute the funds.
'If the Russian government does not
grant a constitutional form of government
the greatest strike In the history of thu
world will follow. It will be ', a greater
strike .than thnt of 1900. There has been
a great change unions the people since the
previous outbreak. Now they have a cen
tral point of organisation, a point of con
centration. If the government Ignores the
demands of the Duma the general strike
will follow. It will tx In March or April
and wAU have the support of the navy.
The concessions asked from the crown
from the last Duma have not been granted.
The people want personal liberty, freedoiA
of the press and financial control. The
government may grant some small con
cessions, but If there Is a strike rebellion
will follow. The people will then Insist
on a republic. The army will In time loin
tfle naval revolt, which will be followed
by the strike of the railroad employes, the
government tcleigraph employes and' the
working people In all the large mines and
factories."

the rules to do other thun to consider the
two questions together, as the conference
committee decided to withdraw the meaa
uie.and amend It. "I will vote tor an ex
clusion act' tomorrow which will keep tho
Japanese ' out," he added. "I do net see
why there should be a prejudice against
them, yet I am wlllfhg to keep them out
if It brings war."
Senator lodge .arose at this, "'if," ho
said, In a low tone, "we are going to dla
cua that question, I think we ought to
do so bohhid closed doors."
"I am' perfectly willing to go ln-hlnd
closed doors," Mr. Tillman recnded.
"IVihap 1 can get a heart-to-heart talk
with some people who will not stay heie
and listen, but who have got orders from
the White Hours that this report has got
to go through." ,
Stating his opposition to any system of
contract labor to be as strong as that of
anyone, Mr. Tlllmnn sold he wulil favor
the proper encouragement of desirable
white Immigrant to the south and he be
lieved the vernnient would do well t
spend lC0,tW,(O for that purpose. Th'
south wus to be llserlmlnntMl against, he
mulntalned, because the senator from Mas
sirhustts bad a lurge nunilier of highly
respectable ronttltuents who were oppose i
to tbo s-mthei-n stites getting iminigrunt
unlrss they got them rora the slums nl
thiV northern cities. The suth did n't
want this sort of "cu:n and rlffrafr."
Mr.. Lodge was questioned closely to as
certain Jurt what ho construed to be tlu
(Tort of the change.
"l"kes It mean that a state agent car
not go abroid and secure lmmlgnitl n ?'
asked Mr. Tlllmnn.
"It means he cannot ue other than st4ti
funds for that purpose," answered Mr
lde.
"Surpose the state should pa the pat
sage of an Immigrant and then r.ome oit
should ronvu along uud reimburse tK.
state?" asked Mr. Tillman, who addt't:
"There .are mom ways than one to li'
the devil around the stump and the sen
ator fr.im Massachusetts knows Just v
well aa anybody else how to do It."
"That might be one" way." a item-ere '
Mr. Lodye, who added that be did nu
think It ought to be done.
Senator Culberson Interrupted Mr. TU.
man to present the following resolutions
RetAlved. That the conferees on til
Part o the eenate ion the Unmix ration
tni art. Instructed to iiresent to the con
ferees an amendment providing for lli
exclusion of Japanese laborers and cooljns
from the I'nlted States and their terri
tories and Insular possessions and the
district of Columbia U be effective Jan
uary 1. 108.
Mr. I-jOdge made the point that no do
bate was In order on the resolution. Mr.
Culberson said he did not wish, to take
Senator Tillman from the ftopr by de
manding Immediate consideration. Mr.
Tillman had rend the debate relating; to
"new matter" In the conference report on
the rate bill at the last sesslonN He did
this he said, that . It might be apparent
that senators changed their positions
from session to session In "that they may
do sany old thing." , .
"I want U know why It Is," continued
Mr. Tillman, "thut the president' of tho
I'nlted States should be permitted, If this
bill becomes a luw, and I know It will,
to dicker with labor unions, to make bar
gains with labor leaders? Why shouid
the Interests of labor on the Pacific coast
make It possible for the president to Is
sue an executive order to prohibit the
landing of a. certain class of Immigrants?
We- ought to have a law to regulate such,
a thing. It should not .be left to ex
ecutive discretion. There ought not be
any bargaining here for political pur
poses." ' farter Predicts Defeat.
'Senator Carter rook .the position that the
conferees . had exceijded their authority.
"A vote taken on this question," continued
Mr. Carter, "will In my Judgment result In
the defeat of the conference report." He
had leached this conclusion with many of
bis colleagues. While It might be ex
tremely Important to enact the desired !
clause regarding passports, lie said he '
deemed, it of vitally more Importance that
the procedure of tho senate In enacting the
laws of the country should be preserved.
To do otherwise would be to establish a
precedent Which would be extremely dan
gerous In the future. If a vote for the
cenference report Involved the approval
of the principle Involved, Mr. Carter con
cluded thut he was perfectly free to say
ho should vote agnlrst It.
This statement brought Mr. Tillman to
the conclusion of his speech abruptly with j
I this stutoment: "After such a cleir. forco-
I ful. unanswerable a presentation of what
I I have been trying to say, I nult'."
Senator Culberson endeavored to get the
vice president to submit to the senate for
a vote the polntcf order made yesterday
by Mr. Tillman on tho passport amend
ment, but thhi tho chair declined to do.
Mr. I'atttrtson then secured unanimous
consent for a vote on the conference re
port bfore adjournment tomorrow, the
itlscussisn tq If. resumed as scon aa mum.
ng business Is out of the way. All talk
. f a possible extra session or bf delay on
fie report was terminated by the agiec-
n-ent to Vote tomorrow. Both Mesais
i.ucon and Tillman disclaiming, any Inten
I m to conduct a filibuster and many other
'eniocratlo senators stated that If the
Georgia senator and the South Carolina
jenul r did entertain such'a purpose they
r.'nuld not follow them.
During the di bule a member of the cabi
net who was on the floor told certain mem
eis that the subject of state Immigration
had received the attention of the cabinet
it ita meeting today and that taere bad
tieen a general conclusion that the term of
the till would not require a new ruling on
the South Cwfollna case.
Mr. 1

Burton of Ohio made an unsuccessful ef- I
fort to strike cut the prevision for an
additional battleship or the Dreadnauht
type. Ills ameiAlment was voted down,
114 to 18.
Speeches on the amendment were made
by Messrs. Burton and Kltchln of Nrrtli
Carolina, Slayden of Texas, Crumpacker
of Indiana. Hull of Iowa, Sulzer of New
York. Waldo of New York. Weeks of Mass
achusetts, Ixmgworth cf Ohio, Orosvenor
of Ohio und Foss of Illinois.
Speaking in support of his motion, Mr.
Durton called attention to. the Inevitable
tendency of advancing clvlllinticn toward
peace and tho, untiring .endeavors of. na
tions not involved In conflict to prevent
war between other countries between wh'ch
controversies arise. He spoke of the growth
cf arbitration as a means of settling d's
putes and the Intolerable burden of main
taining armies and navtos. He said thnt
In the t'Hted States In recent years the ex
penses of the military and naval estab
lishments had grown to be five times aa
great as In 18S7, only twenty years ao.
Considerable Interest was aroused by Mr.
Ixn?rworth of Ohio, who snld that while
very generally he relied on the good Judg
ment of his colleague (Mr. Purtonl. In this
particular case he was cbliged to disagree
with him. "and yield to th opinion of a
higher authority, especially." he proceeded
as the opinion of the "higher authority"
agreed with his own. t
- Mr. Slnyden of Texas spoke In favor of
International arbitration and tho reduction
of armament.
The chairman of the appropriations com
mittee. Mr. Tawney of Minnesota, ' sun
ported the FUirton amendment on the
ground of economy. He did not share Mr.
Hurton's dream of world peace by Interna
tional arh'tnulon. but he thought the
I'nlted States was already expending a
sufficient sum on account of past wars anil
wars to come.
Mr. Hull of Iowa opposed the Burton
amendment. He said there was an Impres
sion abroad fhat the bill' authorised two
battleships, when, as a matter of fact, the
bill only authorises one NSlilp of the type
authorized In last year's bill.
On a ylve voce vote, the Burton amend
ment wah defeated ayes, ICS; noes, IS. On
a vote bv tellers, the oppVltion Increased
thi'lr majority and the vote, stood: Ayes,
111: roes, H.
The Sulier amendment, defining the slse
and type of battleship and ntlpulatlng thnt
It should be built In it -erivcrnment yard at
New York, was defeated.
An amendment by Mr. Fcss was ndopted
limiting to f-i.W0 each the cost of the two
torpedo boat ' destroyers authorised In the
bill,' exclusive of armament. . ,
Another amendment, also by Mr. Foss,
was adopted, providing that of the vessels
authorised In last year's naval bill, au well
as In this year's, "not more thsn one battle.
ship and one torpedo boat destroyer., or two
torpedo boat destroyers, shall be built by
one contracting party."

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-R. O. Dun A Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomcrrow wl,l
say:
Despite holiday and weather Interruptions
the volume of business whs well main
tained. In most sections ot the country
tho movement of merchandise has resumed
normal proportions, snow blockades being
removed, but tardy deliveries will caue
much complaint, especially In regard to
(rraln. Retail sticks of winter goods wote
most satisfactorily depleted during the pe
riod of low temperature, and the new bta
son will open under favorable auspices.
Wholesale and Jobbing houses pepoit a ilb
eral spring demand, particularly In dry
go ds, while at the Interior there la a vig
orous movement of agricultural Implements
and other farm supplies. A gratifying fen
turo of many reports Is the areater prompt
ness of mercantile collections. Mills and
factories have ho much forward businoss
thut new contrarts are not taken except at
fall figures, and there la riiattf jol' n
because shipments ore not more prompt.
Wages have been advanced In several im
portant concerns and there are no seiloua
Ubor controversies. lrcn and steel pro
duo rs are receiving much new" business.
Inquiries for sheets and plates are scarcely
less urgent and wire mills are unable 13
make deliveries according to specifications
on old orderr, while new contracts come
forward c nsuintly It Is not possible to
discern any evidence of reictlon in any
section of the Industry, although there is
a unlet In structural shapes thut has
effected a' much-needed Incre ise In produc-.
tion or billets. Textile mills continue well
employed. with especial pressure for
prompt delivery cf cotton goods. PrlctJ
are fully maintained, the moderate reaction
In raw cotton having no more effect than
the preceeding advance. A further advance
In prhrs of outing cotton is noted and the
relatively greater strength of best grades
f raw cotton hns supporting Influence en
the mure expensive nnlnhed products. In
the woolen goodi, section cf the textile
markets there Is no change to report. Many
clothiers have completed Initial purchases,
consisting chiefly of sample plecco. ami- tho
situntl'iu is n t yet well dellned. Raw wool
Is firmly held at enstern markets. Foot
wear factories In New KuKland have con
tracts on hand ussurlng activity until new
business coiues forward, although, there Is
a notable scarcity of orders fnr full de
livery und the tnly current activity is the
supplenieniary spring purchasing by east
ern Jobbers und some Inquiry for early
summer shipment. Scle leather Is firm.

NEW YORK, Keb. IV Hrndstreet's to
Jiiorrow will say:
Better weather and Improved rnnds'bave
developed a sironser tore and greater ac
tivity In' distributive trwde. Increased de
livering of grain by farmers and sllily
relieved the congestion In transportation
lines, though the latter sit mil Ion Is still
fur from perfect. Cold weather and price
concessions have helped to move remaining
stocks of winter goods
With wholesalers and Jobbers deliveries
on orders are the umln occuimtlon. but
there Is apparently llttla l t-up In the de
mand for cotton goodu for anything like
spring or summer delivery. Freer move
metit ot grain has led to rase In wheat,
corn and oats. Recent advances In grain
have tended to ivtard exxrt demand, hut
shipments of cotton are of record propor
tion. The latter feature. Indeed, Is the
most favorable element in export trade at
present, because high prices of breadstuff,
provisions, food animals and oils tend to
check foreign takings of these products.
Prices of bog products are strong and ad
vancing. The car shortage trouble Is better In the
northwest, txcept In North Dakota, jutrta
of which are stl.1 UKilat.-d. Fanners there
ate reported selling grain below market
prices, buyers tuklna chancer of getting
their purchases to market. In the Pacific
northwest Borne progres Is making In re
lieving the car shortage, which is. however,
still hurtful to business. Recent stormy
weather checks building, but signs of re
vival are noticed at the west.
Pig Iron market are nuleter and while
producers display no marked disposition to
force sales, quotations, nevertheless, tend
t lower figures.
Structural steel Is showing more activity.
Old material is weaker. Coal Is In better
demand and stocks of soft coal In the west
are smaller, the cold weather having tended
to reduce supplies. Coke Is firm. Copper
is higher, the prevailing quotation for
Lake being I36.12H to $.3?H a pound, with
falrlv prompt shipments commanding even
higher figures. -
Some urgent baying of merino wool by
mills whose foreign purchases have not
arrived Is noted at Rton. Little buying
Is reported In the west.
Trade In shoes and .Jeather is moderate.
Retail business Is and hns been good, nnd
rubbers have sold well, but retailers,
wholesalers and Jobbers are reported to
have good slsed stocks. , Sole leather Is
quiet, but closely sold up. I'pper leather
Is fairly active, and a good export demand
Is notei).
