St. Petersburg, May 17.—There is
little room for skepticism as to the
genuineness of the broad policy of
imperial reform after the remarkable
steps sanctioned by Emperor Nicholas
in the imperial rescript issued Tuesday
modifying the restrictive decrees in
nine of the western governments of
Russia and giving the Poles greater
freedom for acquiring farming lands
and purchasing landed properties and
industrial premises and giving permis-
sion to introduce the Polish and Li-
thuanian languages in the primary and
secondary schools where the majority
of the inhabitants are non-Russian.
Almost at one sweep the whole burden
of the vexatious restrictive laws in
Poland and the Baltic provinces have
been removed and the privileges for
which the natives have been fighting
for years are restored, the assemblies
of the Polish nobles are re-established
and all the harsh administrative meas-
ures introduced at the time of the poli- I Knjeitven.ky Proceeds as If His I'osltlon

York City was Imposing—Body to
Lie In State.
New York, May 17.—The body of Hi-
ram Cronk, who lived to be the iast
survivor of the war of ISI'2 was brought
l ore Wednesday from Booneville, N.
V., and will be laid away in Cypress
Mills cemetery with full militarj
honors. The funeral will be held
Thursday and in the meantime th#
body will lie in state in City Hal!.
Accomponying the body were Mr.
Cronk's three surviving sons and on
daughter. They were Philander
Cronk, 81 years old, William, 72 year
old; John, 06 years old. and th«
daughter, Mrs. Sarah Rawley, 71 vears
old.
As the funeral cortege moved from
the Grand Central station to the city
hall it afforded an imposing and unusual
spectacle. Led by a police escort of
mounted and foot officers, a detach-
ment from the United States regular
army, the society of 1S12 and the Old
Guard in uniform came the hearse
bearing the old warrior's body.
Around it, in hollow square formation,
marched the members of U. S. Grant
post G. A. R. Then followed the
Washington Continental guard from
Washington, D. C.. the Army anc

bers of the Crorik family. Carriages

sanction. As a natural sequence of
freedom of religion the oppressive pro-
hibition of the purchase of land by
Catholic peasants is abolished. In
effect the measures sanctioned amount
to an entire reversal of Russian policy
in ancient Poland and the Baltic prov-
inces.
In Poland by confining the land-
holding to persons of Polish extrac-
tion strictly by inheritance, by descent
and not even by testament it was des-
tined to force the Poles either to be-
come orthodox Russians or drive them
into Poland proper. The hardships
thus entailed were innumerable. The
property of deceased Poles was sold
to Russians by forced sale and at ri-
diculous prices. A famous case was
that the Polish estates of the late
Prince von Hohenlohe. the German
imperial chancellor, for which a special
ukase was necessary in order to per-
mit the sale.

SL Louis, May 17 —The first hour
of Wednesday's session of the general
canvention of the Baptists of the North
and South was occnpied with devotion-
al exercises. The report of the com •
mittee of nine appointed at a con-
ference in New York last January,
recommending permanent organiza-
tion, was then read by Chairman R
M. Thresher, of Ohio.
The recommendation of permanent
organization constituted the most im-
portant feature of the convention, and
its presentation was follodew by a gen-
eral discussion.
Rev. Dr Edward Jtidson of New
York, son of Adoniram Jucison, who
was one of the first missionaries of the
Baptist church, was introduced after
the discussion had proceeded for some
time, and made a motion that the re-
port of the committee be adopted.
"It seetns to me to be in harmony
with St. Paul s pronunciamento of
peace" he ssid. I find in it no deep I
laid plot to undermine the faith. It I

roads for fruit transportation business
and acknowledged a monopflly of that |
traffic in parts of the west and south.
Wherever these exclusive contracts
applied, he admitted the producers and
shippers of fruit had to accept the
rates laid down by the Armours. He
claimed that his company was a pri-
vate one and therefore not subject
to the interstate commerce laws. Mr.
Robbins, who was the star witness of
the day and appeared to continue his
testimony of Monday, was closely ex-
amined by the committee regarding
the operation of the Armour interests.
These exclusive contracts with rail-
roads, he said, were generally private
contracts, though exhibited when re-
quested. He asserted that the Ar-
mours do not get any advantages over
other shippers in these cars. Replying
to Chairman Elkins, the witness said
that his company did not want to be
subject to the interstate commerce
laws. "It seems." interjected Mr. Elk-
ins, "that you want^ill the advantages
and none of the responsibilities of
common carriers."

Sandy Hook, N. May 17.—In an
Easterly wind that was all that could
be desired the 11 yachts entered in the
race across the ocean for Emperor
William's cup, got away Wednesday.
The yachts were towed out of Sandy-
Hook bay about 11 o'clock and made
for the startling line off Sandy Hoolc
light ship. At that hour there was
still considerable fog, but it was
gradually rising and just before noon
one could seo a distance of five miles,
oi mor". The wind which had been
blowing about ten miles, however, had
dropped considerably so that when the
yachts crossed the starting line there
was not much more than a five knot
zephyr.
The yachts had little time for maneu-
vering at the line for hardly all drop-
ped tows and made sail than the pre-
paratory gun was fired at noon. Ten
minutes later the warning gun was
fired and five minutes later the start-
ing gun. The yachts got. away in the
following order:
Ailso, 12.15:55. Hildegarde, 12; 13 00;
Atlantic, 1215:30; Endymion, 12:16.-
