LIST OF November in the town OF San Carlos which is

GERMANS IN RUSSIA.
OUTSTANDING THE GERMAN PROVINCES ON THE
BALrIc-FEARs OF DISTURBANCE.

OUTSTANDING THE GERMAN PROVINCES ON THE
BALrIc-FEARs OF DISTURBANCE.
1t is stated in Russia that the government is re-
solved shortly to crush the national movement
that for some time past has been gaining ground in
the Baltic provinces. 1t originated says the Lon
don Examiner, fifteen years ago. when the
Russian authorities attempted to Russanize
the German provinces by the Introduction
of measures hostile to the Teutonic SYM
pathies of the population. On the establish
ment of the German Empire in 1871 1t was thought
polite to allow several measures to lapse, but since
the rupture of the RussoGerman alliance the screw
has again been applied to Riga. Revel and
other places with the natural result OF fresh
outpurst of national feeling. The Germans in the
towns we have mentioned resolutey refuse to
reply to any correspondence addressed to them by
the Russian Governors in the Russian language.
and insist that all announcements made by the
authorities in The name of the Emperor shall be
couched in German. To many dispute of this
kind may seem of trivial import. but great gnif-
canoe is attached to it by the Germans. who under
stand the insdous nature of the thin edge Of
the Russian wedge better than unsophistcated for
eigners abroad. Recently the quarrel has entered
upon more dangerous stage. The German depu-
ties. sixty in number. belonging to the Municipal
Council at Revel refuse to take notice of the Rus
sian speeches made by the seven members elected
by the Russian community, and a few days ago the
Teutons rose en- mdssc from their seats. and.
after hooting and kissing the Russians. passed out
of the Chamber until the latter had done speaking.
This insult has provoked strong expression or feel
ing throughout Russia. Many of the leading
journals demand that the Baltic provinces shall
be Russanzed in the same stern, relentless manner
that has crushed the national spirit out of Poland
For the moment the Germans tho best
abused people in Russia. The feeling is all the more
acute. perhaps. because there is recognition of i'm
potence in the demand of classification. The Rus
slams know as well as foreign observers do that any
endeavor to crush the German spirit out of the Bal
tic provinces would lead to manifestation Of feel
ing on the part OF Prussia that might provoke
outbreak and result in the loss of Russias command
the Baltic.

asked the transfer agent for q transfer, and re-

so crowded we could hardly find standing room
much less seat, and we concluded to wait for
the next car. We had walked about twenty
feet from the transfer agent when he came up
to us and said roughly: "Give me that transfer
back; it is the wrong one" Knowing that he
wished to obtain possession of it and not give
me any at all, examined it and finding it ali
right told him so, and that could stand it If IL
was not. He then said: 'Why In didn'
you take the car for which gave the transfer"
said: because did not want to. There wa;
