rREMIER BIOLYPIN.
torsburgc and Moscow., The statement says further that the factory inspec
tors are of the opinion that most of the factories will be working full strength before the end of the week.
Stolypin Has a Policy.
The real intention of the government when it dissolved the lower house of parliament, as revealed by a member of the cabinet fn the Associated Press, shows that Premier Stolypin at least intends to pursue and hold ah affirmative policy amounting virtually to a determination on the part of the administration to set
tle the agrarian question according to its own lights, and irrespective of parliament, and then go to the country upon this issue. Looks Like a Shrewd Move. The government expects to rally not oidy all the landed interests, but the mass of the peasantry to its side by actually giving the latter some immediate relief, instead of merely holding out hopes of a more advantageous settlement in the indefinite future, which has been the stock in trade of many reformers. Politically this move may prove very strong. The actual bestowal of land, even if in smaller quantities than expected, and the division of communistic holdings will, it is believed make the peasantry disinclined to vote
for candidates to the lowvr house who might propose a totally different solu
tion to the question. Figured as a Strong Point. But, above aL individual possession the government calculates will inculcate that very respect for property the lack of which under the system of communistic holdings has made many peasants such easy converts to the theory of the nationalization of land. Crux ot the Question. The crux of the question is its financial aspect. It ill be a Herculean operation to find the funds required to purchase the private holdings which the project of Minister of Agricultttie Stichinsky contemplated acquiring
through the land banks, even though the owners, under the spell of the agrarian disorders, are ready to sell at moderate prices. The character of these disorders has been shown again in a dispatch from Poltava d?scriting the destruction of an estate owned by Prince Kotchubey, whose breeding stud of 250 horses and more than WW sheep were locked in burning buildings and wantonly left to perish.
Chicago, Aug. 8. Paul O. Stensland,
the millionaire president of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, is officially declared a fugitive from justice. With his personal description in the hands; of the police everywhere and his bank in the possession of a receiver hourly developments show a deplorable state of finances extending over a term of years. It has been discovered that even the safety deposit boxes of the institution had been rifled. It is the belief of the police that Stensland has fled into Canada. Cashier Ilering, sought also by the police, is thought to have reached the Dominion
by another route. Something Ift for Depositors. The day's developments were likewise productive of the first ray of hone for the depositors, who had be
lieved their savings of years swept away in the wreck. David It. Forgan. vice president of the First National bank, and one of those to whom the status of the defunct bank's affairs has been laid bare, declared that probably 70 cents on the dollar would be paid in the final adjustment. The affairs of the bank are said to be in an almost hopeless tangle, and new irregularities are being disclosed as the examiners go deeper into the books. He Looted Safety Deposit Boxes. President Stensland loaned money to himself, it is alleged, by the subterfuge of having employes sign the notes. Specific instances came to light of the looting of safety deposit boxes. One in particular to which the attention of the police was called, was that
of Mrs. Lydia Herman, who declared that $150 of her funds had been taken, .v Vice President Under Arrest.
Theodore Stensland, vice president
of the bank, has been arrested on. a
charge of violating the banking laws
of the state. The specific charge on
which. Theodore Stensland was arrest
ed was that of having accepted deposits at the bank when he knew the
institution to be insolvent. Later in
the day Jacob J. Kern, ex-state's attorney, signed bonds for $3,000 for the release of Theodore Stensland.

WOULD WELCOME BRYAN
BALLOONIST MEETS HIS FATE
Parachute Fails to Work Properly and He Falls About l.OOO Feet and Is Fatally Wounded, rtica, N. Y., Aug. 8. William Johnson, a balloonist, made an ascension in connection with a street fair in Little Falls. Iri coming down with a parachute the apparatus failed to work and Johnson fell upon the rail
road tracks, receiving injuries which undoubtedly will cause his death. Johnson went up to a great height,
and it is estimated that he was 3,000
feet high when he left the balloon to make what is called a double para
chute descent.
The first parachute opened well and
Johnson descended about two-thirds of
the distance. Then he attempted to open the second parachute and descend the remainder of the distance with that, but it collapsed, and he shot downward very rapidly. The thousands who were watching him were horror-stricken. His spine was fractured at the base of the brain.

letter to the reception committee vhe wrote: "I am out of polities, retired more
by age than inclination, yet I want to be in again to see Bryan nominated for and elected president I was not in full accord with his views on silver, but I believed thrti, as I believe now,
that he will make the best president ever in that chair."
