"That is a newspaper story. I have many queer ideas, people say, but I am not yet so queer that 1 will attempt to walk 9U0 miles." General Cameron wa.s never married, and gave the reporter a cue. "Why were you never married, general?" 'asked the young man with the pencil, timidly. "Simply because it was not the designing of the Almighty God that I should was the answer.

The radical party is hopelessly at odds regarding the manner of raising the question of amnesty. Socialists persist In forcing it immediately to the front in the form of an open declaration to the people, which practically would be an appeal for revolution. The caucus of social revolutionists and members of the peasant league. last night, refused this as well as the proposition to make an appeal or to demand on the emperor, and it was decided to introduce a regular bill providing for amnesty for political prisoners. This is probably unconstitutional and hence unacceptable to the con stitutional democrats.

In the mean time, the reactionist campaign for the prorogtion of parliament under any pretense, is in full swing. I'aihxl ami Killed HinisHf. Yalta, Crimea, March i. Col.
