PREMIER'S WORDS
WELL RECEIVED
WARNINGS IHAVE EFFECT OF
SUSTAINING PRICES "
Russian Financial Circles Satisfied
.That Program Will Be Carried
Out and That Better Times
Are Now Assured
By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 6.— The
firm note itruck by Premier Stolypln
in the official communication embody
ing the whole government program,
published last nlghf with Its warning
to terrorists and revolutionists on one
hand that crime must and will be sup
pressed at any cost, and to the ■ reac
tionists, especially the court camarilla,
on the other hand that reforms can
neither be abandoned nor deferred,
met with prompt response on the
bourse today. ' • ■
Prices were not merely firm, but
were very strong without any symp
toms of artificial support. The pre
mier's note not only stopped the steady
decline In government securities gen
erally, some of them gaining as much
as five points, owing to the belief that
the announcement of M. Stolypln Is
the prelude of better times. The of
ficial note appeared today in the of
ficial gazette and the semi-Russian
press, but the attitude of the public
has not yet developed, though the note
Is the all-absorbing topic of dlscus
sion. ' '■
While the course of the premier Is
precondemned by the parties in pro
noun :ed opposition to the government,
In whose sight all works of the min
istry are evident, the financial circles
as indicated by the tone on the bourse
regard M. Stolypin's communication
with approval and their attitude will
probably not be shared by the Octo
berlsts, peaceful regenerationists and
other partisans of the policy of peace
fully working out the problems before
the country. ■■ . ' ,
But the imperial decree authorizing
the institution of field courts-martial
throughout the . empire la regarded
with disquietude in most circles. It is
practically the same measure that the
1 emperor rejected during Count Wltte s
administration after the approval of
the council had been secured, and
while It Is realized that it la a justi
fiable and. Indeed, a necessary meas
ure In dealing with mutinies, armed
uprisings and conditions of terrorism,
anarchy such as prevails in Poland,
the Baltic provinces and the Caucasus,
It Is claimed that arbitrary and un
scrupulous officials are likely to abuse
the powers conferred upon them.
It is pointed out. that the ukase ex
cludes the services of , the , ordinary
Judicial officers of the army and navy.
It has already thrown a panic Into
the ranks ■of ' the contributors to the
revolutionary press and drafters of In
cendiary proclamations to the army,
navy, peasants, etc,', who hitherto have
had no worse punishment to fear than
imprisonment or deportation.

history of the Republican- party in
California has a ticket been nominated
In a more machinellke manner, with
less enthusiasm - and . with I greater
probability of defeat than . that . which
was today formally placed in the field.
I On every hand delegates were heard
