The document also gives notice of the In troduction of laws to ameliorate the condition of the peasantry, facilitate the raising of money to pay rents, reform the taxation of small holdings and revise the terms of the agricul tural agreements, which at present en. slave the peasant class. Disorders Said To Be Subsiding:. In the chabmer of deputies Sturdza announced that according to the latest reports the agrarian disorders were sv.bsiding, and he expressed the hope that tranquility would soon be re-es tablished throughout the whole of Roumania. Order generally has been restored In the province of Moldavia, but fresh disturbances have occurred in the Dolj district and several other pieces In Wallaehia. The disorders at Xzncenl have been suppressed by the killing or wounding of twenty-five men. At this point the troops di persed 500 incendiaries.

The commission's inquiry in freneral will be an open one, although there will be executive sessions from time to time. O'Brien's Resignation a Surprise.

WILL IT BE A STRIKE ? Railway Managers at Chicago Have Called on the General Government to Say "Xo." Chicago, March 2S. The United States government will be asked to Intervene to prevent a strike of the conductors and trainmen on the western railroads, and if the plans of the general managers do not miscarry the whole controversy will be submitted to arbitration for settlement. The general managers have given out a statement in which they declare that they will demand arbitration under the Erd-

mann act. As a strike cf the men would interfere with interstate commerce the railroad officials believe they can prevent a strike by asking the government to step in and take command of the situation. The Erdmann act, passed in 1STS, provides for the arbitration of labor difficulties where Interstate commerce is involved by the chairman of the "interstate commerce commission and the commissioner of labor. There are 4u,000 men involved. The unions demanded 12 per cent, higher wages and a nlne-hcur day.

Tho bank decided that this loan should be repaid, but on meeting with refusal, it resolved to liquidate the feecur ity by selling the Union Pacific chares in its possession. An attempt to get rid of them in large blocks on the other side of the Atlantic by private negotiations failed, and consequently a very largo quantity was put upon the market. "These knowing these circumstances formed the natural conclusion that trouble would ensue and sold other securities. The resultant fall in prices and the all-around collapse caused many difficulties among stock exchange firms, including one of the highest standing." . DYNAMITE CAR EXPLODES Four Negroes Are the Victims, Two of Whom Are Dead and Two Others Will Die. Atlanta, Ga., March 2S.
