C SUNDAY, DECEMBER ». t907 NO. 192 DOUMAjaOTS Extravagant Scene in Russian Parliament "THE STOLYPIN NECKTIE" LEADER RODITCHEFF OF DEMOCRATS JUKES IMPASSIONED SPEECH, NEARLY ENDING IN A DUEL WITH THE PREMIER- IS SUSPENDED. Bt. Petersburg, Nov. 30.—The session of the douma held today, which was devoted to the continuation oE the debate on tne declaration ot the government presented by premier Stolypin yesterday, broke up In a riot. The reactionaries assaulted Feodor Rodll- cheff, the orator of the constitutional ' democrats, aud attempted to drag him from the tribunal In order to put an end lo his vitriolic attack on the government. premier Stolypin and other members .witnessed the demonstration from the ministerial box, but they departed when it became evident that the mob had no intention ot allowing the session to proceed. M. Roditcheff, during the course of a ringing speech In which he was constantly interrupted by applause or jeers, was eulogising the- hundrds of. victims of drumhead court marttais and when he referred to the officials ot the government as hangmen, a hundred reactionaries led by Vladraif Purlshovitz, monarchist and two priests, yelling like Indians, stormed the tribuue. president Khomikoff after ringing his hell called for order, abandoned the chair and declared the sitting closed. The constitutional democrats and social democrats charged to the rescue ot M. Roditcheff, who was being roughly handled. They formed a phalanx around him and bore him, shouting defiance, to one corner of the hall. The tumult continued for nearly half an hour until the party leaders succeeded ln withdrawing their followers to the committee rooms for consultation. During his-apeecn, M. Roditcheff said the Russian policy of tbe government in Poland and Finland was enough to make him ashamed to call himself a Russian citizen. "The .Stolypin necktie," an expression used by Feodor Roditcheff, tne orhtor of the constitutional democrats, in the douma this afternoon to designate the summary regime of druinneau court martlals instituted by premier Stolypin In August, 1906, and driven out ot existence by the second douma last April, is^the phase on all lips In the capital tonight. Tlie PHase has already become historical and has completely blotted out the effect ot the nilnlsler'B declaration in subsequent debates and destroyed the complacency of tho conservatives, restoring th. "tense atmosphere of the earlier dounias. Upon M. Stolypin, who In company with his colleagues was sitting near to the speaker's tribune, the words fell ah a thunderbolt, recalling the most painful incident of his career as premier. He turned deathly white, clenched tht desk, and stared motionless for several minutes at the unprecedented storm lei loose by the reactionaries surging past him. Finally he left the chamber with out uttering a word. The Associated Press learns that to the minister with him at the pavilion M. Stolypin announced flrmly his decision to challenge M- Roditcheff to a duel and asked M. Chtcheglovltotf, the minister ot Justice, and prince Vassll- atakoff to act as his seconds. All efforts to dissuade the premier from this course were futile. The seconds named, however, employing the utmost tact to forestall such an event, which would - have shaken the entire government, approached II. Roditcheff anil in dell- ] j'. cate terms inquired what his Intentions X were towards the premier. The tumult causd hy M. Rodllcheff's speech continued for half an hour during which the speaker was severely handled and carried away bodily bv his supporters to a corner of the hall. The party leaders then entered Into a long conversation, and it was made plain to the constitutional democrats that M. Roditcheff had meant no personal attack on the premier, but had heen carried away by his impetuosity. M. Roditcheff thereupon went to the Pavilion and begged M. Stotypln's forgiveness. After an hour's intermission, during which the passions of the members subsided, the session re-opened. M. K. Homaokaff. the president, sternly lectured the right members and! then proposed to suspend M. Rodllchefl' for flften sittings. The latter arose •nd said that he had had no Intention of offending any one. He would let his words, however, appear In the records as spoken, because he bellevea that they corresponded to the reality The suspension was voted bv 69 majority by the Ostohrlsts and the members of the right. The constitutional democrats, led by M. Mltukoff, jolne,, j In the subsequent ovation to testify to the douma's high regard for premier Stolypin. The Incident Interrupted a speech of ■ exceptional power and eloquence. M. . Roditcheff was making what was re- yarded as one of the greatest efforts ot wt "fe. His daring espousal of the Polish cause and his argument proving that the earliest Russian political Ideals were democratic and not autocratic, ts considered to be the most masterly exposition heard within the walla of the douma. KEEP ABSOLUtT |FAITH JAPANESE LABORERS EXCLUDED PROM THE STATES THOSE COMING TO CANADA TO BE LIMITED Toklo, Nov. 30— Baron Ishii, chief of the Imretui of commerce of tho Japanese foreign office, who visited the United States and Canada for the purpose of Invsetigat- ■ln_r the immigration problem, arrived, In Tolko today and conferred .villi the o_- ■fiolals of the foreign office, with whom he engaged in a thorough convas of tlie situation for the coming week. In _\n interview, baron Iflhli said: "My vi-.it to the United States and Canuda haB convinced me that the opposition to Japanese is based partly on prejudice, -hough considerable of lt is due to labor troubles instituted by an ■ lajtnr-. I found that Japanese residents in the United States and Canada resent the incoming of their countrymen from Hawaii and Mexico. While it Is proper for the Japanese to conserve the interests of Javanese now residing abroad, many of whom are prospering and living peacefully In America, In my opinion, it will be necessary, in order to keep alwo'trte faith with the United State* to prevent the immigration of laborers there altogether, because an exclusion aot would be disagreeable. *We Should send laborers to Canada in great moderation." The foreign office Is now engaged In Investigating the representations of the United States' ambassador, concerning the character and number of immigrant.. It 19 the general op'n'on that the Japanese government will give verba assurances of n future rigid exclusion of a . that can be termed directly labor immigrants Into the United States, being1 careful also to limit the number moving to Canada.

The contracts of Gotch with the ■Wellington Collieries Co., signed by lieutenant-governor James Dunsmuir, and with the C. P. R. were brought out- Gotch strenuously objected to their being given publicity but tin a threat that the persons concerned would be com pelled to testify he allowed the docum cuts to go in. The Wellington agreement provided for five hundred men, to be given from $1.36 to $1.90 per day, and was to remain in force for five years, save on sixty day's notice by either party of termination. The immigration company waa to enjoy a monopoly of supplying Japanese labor as long as they wefe able to meet demands. Gotch sadly said that they had only furnished forty men under this contract. The agreement with the C. P. R. was to run until 1912, with a thirty day notice'clause, and the immigration company promised to furnish as many competent workmen and laborers as were demanded from time to time. Wages of $1-35 to $1.65 per day was guaranteed. A letter from superintendent Bu steed dated April, stated that that from four hundred to two thousand Japanese could be taken by the road this year. Gotch said the men were employed on the road as far as Swift Current. He also furnished men for porters who. ran over the whole line. C. Gardner Johnson and W.

E-GTRIFYCP.R. LINES LORNE CAMPBELL'S HAS BIO PROJECT IN HAND. COVER TRACK TO JJOUNDARY WITH WIRES- . Lome Campbell while in town yesterday was shown a recent despatch to The Daily News emanating trom Vancouver referring to the likelihood ot the electrification of the C. P. R. lines in this vicinity and askd what truth there was in the matter. Mr. Campbell replied that there was a great deal, of truth in it although he had no recent information on The subject. He had approached the Canadian Pacific several years ago as to this project and it had been a matter of negotiation ever since. Mr. Campbell thought that electrification was bound to come for business reasons. His plant at Bonnington was now capable of generating 20,000 h.p. and with the addition of some more units, which were provided for in the present building, this could1 he raised to 36,000 h.p. Even then this would not he the end as there then would he power left In, the Kootenay river, especially if that were raised by means of a dam, to supply yet further ^Hetad reported to the C. P. R- and ho could make his claim good, that the Bonnlngton plant was capable of supplying electric power within a radius- of 150 miles of the power plant, the radius being taken in an air line not necessarily along the track supplied. The despatch talked of the putting In of eleotrlcity only on the heavier g.-ades but Mr Campbell was of the opinion that if electrification took pace it would be general over the whole line In fact, that wns the only practical way There would not necessarily be nny chanegs In thc car rolling .-took, nn electric train being ve:y much like a steam tra'n with the exception of the locomotive There wer evarious ways of npp'ylng electricity but the method most probably adopted would be the trolley pyc. torn. This did not mean a trolley system resembling that of the street ear but will he something along the same lines. On a level ibed electricity had a great advantage, but it waa when a heavy grade was tackled that th egreat waving enme. Hence Mr Campbell clnlms that the c.P.R. by adopting electricity would have a great advantage over hs rivals In being able to handle Speight mote expeditiously and more economicaly With electrification, the wnole business of moving pre wouid surely fall into the hands of the C.P.B. and as that meant the moving of nearly two million tons of ore wariy, even at theprtSflht time, It would be readily seen that the business was enormous. The undertaking wou'd be n big one ns It would probably include all the lines between Procter and Boundary Falls, Slocan and EtoBBland Hence it would take tt co'.tp'e of years tn instal What thc cost WOUtd be Mr Campbell could not .ay ix. tills would depend largely upon the amount of track to be covered, lhe frequency of the service and the system to be adopted.

Naturally enough the estimate of sir Wilfrid Laurler's career recently made by the London, England, Morning Post, has formed the subject matter of a good deal of comment by the press of Canada. Canadians, regardless ot their part; affiliations, rejoice to find that their chief citizen ls held In such high esteem In the world's ' metropolis. Eulogies of the career and the achievements of sir Wilfrid Laurier have been neither few nor stinted ln the British 1000 Galbraith Coal 27 10 Hewitt Mining 5.00 1000 International Coal 87U 3000 North Star 12V4 15*0 Rambler Cariboo 19V4 3000 SulHvan *?tt 5 Sullivan Bonds 76.0* 700 Western Oil 1.10 If you will trade at prices named, please use the wires at our expense. press. He has won for himself an enviable position in the minds and hearts of the British people. The London Post saya that "no •other statesman could 'have accom* pllshed so much in the short space of a lifetime as the great French-Canadian, who combines an Imaginative eloquence unsurpassed in British history with the charm and courtesy of a cultivated Frenchman." The writer In The Post enumerates some of the outstanding measures of the Laurler administration, and adds: "Measures wherein a business capacity wae not less necessary than lmaglcatlon and D6A Cdrset' They are the imtrtett mo- deli known to the Corset Manufacturer's art, tcience tnd tense having echieved t wonderful triumph. * tetixt no,, fn_ |i._t to Jim WmiapmcT-vFli-K. X__n___________mmmmw_i courage." Commenting on the Morning .Post's estimate, the Toronto Globe says: "The last sentence may be taken as a succinctly genuine estimate ot the scope of the legislation of the liberal administration which has directed the affaire of this country since 1806. Tne soul ot that administration has been sir Wilfrid Laurier. It ls curious to look back to his advent to power eleven years ago, when his political opponents were firmly convinced that a liberal administration would last but a short time. There were confident statements that the new leader of the government and his associates "lacked the genius for administration,'' tt would be difficult to and the coiner ot this phrase today with a search warrant. Canada has Been in that eleven years administration directed tb the development ot her possibilities in a way of which their predecessors never dreamed. "During that time the head of the government has steadily grown in men's esteem. He has made for himself a high place in the history of his country. While yet In the flesh and In the thick of the party battle, he Is recognised as the greatest native-born Canadian that these dominions of Britain on this side of the Atlantic have produced. His power ls not the power ot the unscrupulous party leader. It ls the power of the great, far-eeelng, patient and planning statesman, whose one ambition it is to promote the progress and standing of the country whose people have shown so unquail- fldely their pride and conBdenoe ln him.'.' Opinions will differ, no doubt, remarks the Montreal Herald, as to what Influences have determined so great a success. This latest English critic Is naturally disposed to measure the accomplishment ot a colonial statesman by what hat been done in his name and under hit authority that is gratifying to the feelings of the people ot Groat Britain. The British preferential tariff, the improvements In postal arrangements, the highly organised projection ot Canadian products upon the British marker*, the "pumping in" of British Immigration to the Canadian west, and, perhaps as. Important as any, the stimulus of his own picturesque appearance in Great Britain, where the combination't)t eltq-Mte, conforming to tne highest British Standards, with tbe courtesy ot a cultivated Frenchman, made the whole population one In admiration. There are others, whose viewpoint is not precisely that of the Morning Post, who, while recognising to the full the Importance and the high utility of all this, to Canada as well as to Great Britain, may be disposed to base their admiration equally upon the successful resistance he has offered to various projects which would probably have the Morning Post's hearty approval. friends will doubtless consider lt their duty to vote for a nominee ot their own party, they know that their fight will be as hopeless as it is halt- hearted, and that after the election they will have, in Mr. Macdonald, an able and conscientious representative at Ottawa, of whom all may Justly be proud. NBW YORK CROWDS. London Authority Marvels How the Rush of Traffic Controls Itself. New York, Nov. 30 The Times says that sir Clifton Robinson, head of the Burl'ace underground railway system of London, haB been spending a week In this city prior to his departure for Japan and has devoted most of the time observing the traffic conditions in the congested centres. In an'interview he said that the most woudA-ul sight to him was tbe surging mass of humanity at the Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges in the rush hours. "The order and precaution," said sir Clifton, "with which this dense volume of traffic adjusted itself to the local conditions was to mo nothing short of marvelous. There seemed to be au utter absence of-even at attempt to control or shepherd the congested throng. We are obliged to have the poltce to control our crowds ln London. Usage and custom, as It were, turn them here Into the channels which they follow automatically." VOLCANIC ASH. Heavy Downpour at Nome Causing Much Inconvenience to Residents, Nome, Alaska, Nov, 30 Nome, and probably the entire Seward peninsula, ls shrouded ln a haze and the ground for miles ls covered several Inches deep with a fine, gritty powder which is believed to be voncanlc ash. The storm began several days ago, the dust blowing ln from the ocean, but at first little attention was paid to the freak of nature, as it was expected that it would Boon cease. Instead, however, the fall continued and after a day became so dense as to seriously interfere with outdoor pursuits. Further the air is eo full ot oshps that the powder has sifted Into houses and business places to such an extent that lt Is thick on floors and on every thing ln the way of goods and household furniture. It Is believed that some of the numerous volcanic Islands between tbls coast and Siberia have been ln eruption and that the ashy downpour ls the result. CLOSE OF EXPOSITION.

Mackenzie King's enquiry into Japanese Immigration into this province has elicited evidence of a startling character. It developed yesterday that the lieutenant governor of this province, James Dunsmuir, and the Canadian Pacific Railway company had contracts with a local Japanese Immigration agency to Import Japanese laborers to work ln this province. Not only was this contrary to the policy of the dominion government, which has been to limit the number of Japanese coming Into the province to some forty or fifty a month, but lt was in direct contravention of both provincial and dominion statutes respecting the Importation ot contract labor. It is simply monstrous that a man holding the important office of lieutenant governor of the province should be guilty of entering into contracts ln direct defiance of the laws of the country and lt is equally unpardonable that a great corporation like the C. P. R., which has been treated so generously by the Canadian people, should thus endeavor to evade the law. It la to bs hoped that attorney- general Bowser will prove equal to the occasion and at once take proceedings against the guilty parties. We think, too, that the dominion government should make further investigation Into lieutenant-governor Dunsmuir's connection wtth this matter and If it can he shown that he entered into these illegal contracts since his acceptance ot office Immediate steps should be taken to remove him therefrom. The liberals ot Macleod, Alberta, are to be congratulated upon their choice of a candidate to contest that riding at the next dominion election. Mr. A. B.

A certain line of eut and f nluli and dlspos.il of thu trimming-i Jinn mnde suotv a deeiee possible. Assuredly skirls urn slio.t, that Ih the trotteur or sidewalk skirt as It Is variously called, is whorl, those of tlie house are longer. The new «k!rt is not of the variety we have liad It Is growing1 shorter and shorter and now it Is thought only fashionable for the length to escape the ground by four or five Inches. It !s a decidedly trying style for a short woman, she who has large hips or over largo feet. It were better in such, instances that a .woman be a little conservative and have tlui eneth of the old "two Inches from the variety," Muoh care must be given, to the style and condition of Uhe shoes for this (cuaon, ami for many years no greater care haa beeu given to footwear. While the walking skirt Is short it may be uf 'the plaited, tlie circular or plaited guie variety and the favorite mateiinls are tho worsteds, uliev'ots, serges, mohairs, tailor suiting., wlv'dh should be made up In the most severe style.

Trimmings of the short skirt., except for very lal^ Women, should avoid ciosswine patterns, which detracts fiom the height of the figure. Por the longer skirts bands will tm uscil nr blind tuck* nnd nn attrac tive Idea was the use of bands on alternating box plait panels. An attractive skirt waa developed from a smoke grey melton striped with a back a'llc hair line, a favorite pattern idea Juat now. The patted skirt waa shaped from an elaborate a-gored model, each alternating gore was decorated with three two Inch bands of the cloth and piped with old rose velvet. The Jacket to the suit Is very short coveting but a little distance below the wa'st, curved under the a:ttia and showing a vest of od rose velvet Wa'ded with black soutache braid. The sleieves are full and short of the regular Japanese adjustment and bands of doth decorate the bottom of the sleeves, the shawl oo_:*tr and are piped with the od roe* velvat In the same moaner. Tbe blouse was of soft grey silk fashioned at tjie neck wlht a collar and Jabot of cream lace. Long grey gloves were worn, grey shoes, a grey felt hat. t: .mmed with a grey breast and rose velvet loops. The hat and g oves and shoes may be of black. One of the moBt favored' coats of thla season is the smart thlrty-elx Inch cutaway. It is mannish In ito cut, strictly tailored ln Its finish, and braid trimmed; It has long, coat sleeves that tthow a few tucks above the elbow. An attractive example of ouch a coat was developed from blue brbadc oth. Double breasted, It sloped gmdualiy away from the lost button Just a little above the wabt line. The darts and under arm seams gave it a most graceful curve; thc edges of the skirt, collar and turned back cuffs were finished by a fat one inch ba.ld. The shawl collar and cuffs w«. decorated by an Inset of velvet ln man style, buttons ot black velvet and button holes finished the closing, and a pocket in the left over the breast gave a natty appearance, with this was worn a plaited skirt of the five Inches from the ground variety, with a p oln front gore from under which extended three bands of braid. For tho well built figure there Is the returned to a tight fitting mllita. y coat They are all in tho back usually with curved _mder arm seafs and front darts to give the necessary snugness and style and the high military eo'lar and long coot sleeves are trimmed- with braid straps, and the single breast fronts are treated In the same way. A coat of this style made In black d agonal cloth, decorated- with herculea braid and small cloth buttons would make a natty extra coat for wear with separate skirls, or It may be part of a fu 1 costume for which Venetian cloth, in green was used with trlmm tags in black elk radium braid.

CONTRACTOR I-RCED TO LET OUT CHINESE OOOK. (Special to The Dally Newa) Orand Forks, B. C, November 39.— A report irom outside points to hand states that the Oranby company will resume operations on January 1st On being asked in regard to this manager Hodges emphatically denied it, stating that there was no probability ot starting up. A number ot men employed by Joseph Wiseman cutting ties up the north fork ot the Kettle river waited on him this week to demand the discharge of the Chinese cook. Hr. Wiseman had to comply. George Elliott, who attempted to destroy -his Ufe here some time ago By cutting hi9 throat and drowning, has sufficiently recovered to appear before magistrate Cochrane. He was sentenced to six months in Nelson gaol. The flrst skating accident of the season occurred on Wednesday, when two bank clerks tried the ice on a slough itoo early and broke through. Beyond a good wetting no harm befell them. There is a movement on foot here to organize an Agricultural society, to take over the race track and driving park from the association. The idea Is to make the ground accessible to all citizens and residents of the valley in general. "STUBBORN THINGS." Facts That Constitute the Successful Play—Dominion Co. This Week. What constitutes the successful play? The quettlon has been asked by intelligent people the world over. Many and varied are the opinions advanced. Stern dramatic critics announce that a powerful and brilliant language Is the essential point of a play's success, while others, more easily satisfied, claim a play's success depends entirely on its plot. There is yet another class of people whose artistic sense Is reached more through th eye than through the mind, for they assert that almost any play, no matter how weak Its story or insignificant its language, can be a tremendous success with gorgeous cos tuming and massive scenic equipment. In other words the poorest play may,: by the aid ot modern stage craft and its appliances, be made a grand success both financially and artistically. These three great features ot stage productions Just mentioned, are certainly the vital necessities of a play's endurance. From the experience of the past, however, we have learned that a drama oontalnlng only one ot the qualities above mentioned is only a onesided construction, appealing only to a certain claaa. The three great fundamental principles on which foundation the successful play endures must all he IB-sent, all classes of people are then appealed to. "The Two orphans," for instance, is one of the few plftf s wWc" possesses all the virtues ot the enduring drama. Its scene being laid In gay parls and amid the vine-clad hills of sunny Southern France, gives scope for beauty and variety or stage settings, which so many demand. Its costumes of the dayB of chivalry enhance the beauty of the picture. The wonderful snow storm and moon-rising effects present a picture one ls loath to call unreal. The interior of one of the grand cathedrals of Paris with its choir of surpliced boys singing to the solemn accompaniment of the organ leaves an impression one will ever remember.. The plot of this celebrated melodrama, Is from lite itself, its convincing story strikes a responsive cord In every breast to which every heart returns an echo. The dialogue of the drama ls majestic and effective In the extreme, because of Its childlike simplicity. Thus, the three great principles of play writing are wncen-ated within this master-piece of stage literature, ls it any wonder that "The Two Orphans" has brought laughter and tears to thousands in almost every country where the stage Is known? Is lt a wonder that young and old. rtch and poor alike listen to Its powerful story season after season? The playwright is long since dead, wills neat drama is destined to 5H_.ttfu.S-- of every civilized land as long as the language lasts. The Dominion Stock companypromises a magnificent presentation of this eminent play, tomorrow evening a the opera home. There has been quite a demand for seats, hut a large .number of good locations are still available. WHEN TO GO 110ME From thc BU-rton. Ind.. Banner: "When tired out go Home.

BURNS AND MOIR TO FIGHT FOR ! & CHA-JjPIONflHIP London, Nov. 80-Memori« ot the earttor daya when the National Sporting olub waa tha acknowledged home of profearionai boxing, have teen revived by the proe|Mot of the great battle on Dec. 2, between Tommy Burna of Canada and Junior Jim Molr of England will meet In the hietorlo buldlng for the heavyweight championship of the world. This forthcoming contest la creating greater interest than .those In .whloh Jim Mace, the but Englleh holder of tha title took part, for there le a feeling that Moir'a great weight, reach and height and the experience he hu gained tn many fights at the National Sporting olub. will be sufficient to overcome Burns' superior tact lea and bring the championship back to England, after 37 years. In spite of this feeling, however. Burnt This Store's Policy To represent goods exaotly, as to their quality; to sell to those who know and to those who don't know valuee at a uniform, fair price; to fulfil all guarantees and cheerfully correct all mistakes; to. deserve your confidence by always giving you "a square deal." R.I1. EWERT Jeweler & Engraver NBLSON, B. C remains a favorite In the betting at odds of 6 to * and with the expected influx of American money before the fighters reach the ring tftde, Burns' backers will probably have to place greater odds to get down their money. Tlhls want of confidence on the part of the betters on the English champion, is due to Burns' record, In America, and the fact that he Is much the faster fighter. It Is ln the hitting that Molr has depended on to win his battles. Unless Molr has been overrated he has never before met a man of Burns' class. The Canadian must deliver some hard smashes ln the rushes for which he is famous, to bat down Motr, 'who haa the reputation of being able to take a lot of punishment. Both fighters did much earnest training ■up to Wednesday last, since then they have .both satisfied themselves with road work. Molr wilt enter tlve ring at about ISO pounds, which Is at least ten pounds more than Burns wilt turn the scales at. Tho Englishman has the advantage In height, being two and a half Inches taller than the Canadian; he also has a considerably longer reach. On the other hand Burns is known to havo a good pair of legs to rush in and get away, he la more scientt-io and "uses hi- head" more than does his opponent. After some d-fficuty, Eugene Corey, a member of the stock exchange who knows the game well, has 'ben chosen referee. HOTEL ARRIVALS OF A DAY CLUB-O. J. Hyndman, L. Bustfiy, T. MoKennn, Alnsworth; K.
