RIOTS REIGN IN RUSSIA.
The Gear Ill With Nervous Fevor.
Violence by the Students.

LONDON, April 4.-Advices received here
to-day from Sc. Petersburg reaf1irm the re-
porSs of a serious condition of affairs in
Russia. They declare that the car is suffer-
ing from nervous fever.
A scheme for the justification of Finland
is.received with extreme disfavor in that
country, and trouble Is certain to follow.
Advices further say that all the universe
ties In Russia have been closed by tue gov
ernment. The students Of st. Petersburg
university made an attack upon Lieut. Gen.
Gressen, chief Of the st. Petersburg police,
who went TO the university to quell the dis
turbances and treated him in very rough
manner. He was thrown to the floor and
while lying PROSTATE was kicked number
of times by his asseilants.
SOLELY AN EDUCATIONAL ROW.
The students abandoned Il meeting which
they proposed to hold yesterday, the attend
ance being too small. A number of students
who were interviewed persisted in declara-
tions that the agitation arises solely on
account of educational matters. In proof
of this declaration the students assembled
at the university and chronological institute
and sang the anthem, "God Preserve the
Czar." The czar is greatly incensed over
the disturbances, and has signified his in
tention of closing all the higher public edu-
catlonal establishments for year. 1t is
feared by Russian officials. however, that a
years idlencss will foster the growth of
dissatisfaction among the students.
EXPLOSIVES AT GATscHINA.
The police at Gatschna have discovered
explosives on the grounds of the imperial
palace The imperial family has in conse-
quence renounced the idea of going there TO
finish Lent.
The czar for two days has suffered from q
relapse of the influenza. which has COM
PEELED him to postpone audiences. His con
dition is not serious.
Among the students arrested are Prince
Viazemsky and son of Nabokoff, a former
minister of justice.
The peasants of Riazan, incensed at con-
tinued fiogging and outrages perpetrated
by District Chief Mordvinotf, retaiated by
thrashing Mordvinof severely and stoning

CRANK RATHER THAN CRIMINAL.
Miss Shipley Only Eccentric, and Won't

PHILADELPHIA, April 4.-Mary Rebecca
Shipley. from Staunton, Va, who was ap-
pretended Wednesday for shop-lifting, aud
who afterward made an astonishing confes-
sion, has been released on 5000 bail Her
bondsman is s. L. Gobel of the Eagle hotel.
where Miss Shipley was boarding. Detect
i've Smith said to-day that Miss Shipley had
told Gobel that she did not feel that she was
thief, because she had not taken the goods
which were found in her trunk from the
various stores with criminal intent.
REIREss TO AN ESTATE.
Detective Smith also said he had received
letter from Maj. j. W. Newton of Staun-
ton, Va, informing him that Mr.. Newton
was the executor of the estate of Miss Ship
ley's mother, and that he would start for
Philadelphia to-day to take Miss Shipley
home with him. The detective also had o
letter from nj. NJ. Gibson, a lawyer at Nor
ristown, who made an appeal on behalf of
Miss Shipley. He stated that he was we'll
acquainted with her and knew her family
and her history. He said she had been ec-
centric since she was young girl.
WON'T BE PROSECUTED.
Chief of Detectives Wood also received a
telegram from prominent gentleman in
Baltimore corroborating Miss Shipley's
story about her respectable connections, and
sent it over to Detective Smith. Her grand
mother. Mrs. Davis, resides on North
Fourth street, and is 95 years old. Detective
Smith to-day finished asserting the goods
belonging to the different firms which had
been indicated as owners of Miss Shipley's
pilferings and said he would return them at
once. He said it was probable that this
would be the last Of the matter. The losers
would get their goods back and nobody felt
like prosecuting the defendant.

SOUTH AMERICAN RECIPROCITY.
Blaines Offer to the Argentine Repub-
lie Only q Bluff

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Secretary
Blaine's attempt to get the ways and means
republicans to let him tack on to the tariff
bill his offer of commercial reciprocity to
any of the countries south of us, has
started rumor that his special offer TO the
representatives of the Argentine Republic
in the pan-American conference was ac-
cepted and that treaty of commercial
reciprocity is about to be transmitted to the
Senate. Coupled with the report is the
statement that this accounts for the replac-
ing of the tax on bides and for the "quiet
attitude" of the New England republicans.
THE FACTS IN THE CASE.
Now, the facts are that Secretary
Blaine's specific offer to the Argentine dele
gates was a characteristic bluff, not worded
SO that it could be accepted, and, of course.
was declined. as Secretary Blaine expected
it would be; that the tax on hides was
replaced by Phil Armour and his associates,
and had nothing to do with the Blaine
proposition which the committeeman had
refused to put in their bill, and that the
New England republicans continue to be in
as lively and agltated quiet attitude"
as can we'll be imagined. They are
not giving thought to the Senate PROPOSE
tion of commercial reciprocity with the
Argentine Republic, but are working hard
to get the hide tax off. Secretary Blaine,
like everybody elsa when foiled in the
House, especially with the ways and means
republicans, has gone to the Senate to see

ALIENS IN OUR NAVY.
A Bill to Prevent Their Enlistment in
the Future.

A Bill to Prevent Their Enlistment in
the Future.
WASHINGTON, April THE House COM
mittee on naval affairs to-day directed
favorable report of the McAdoo bill to pre-
vent the enlistment Of aliens in the navy.
The bill PROHIBITS the enlistment of aliens
who are not naturalized or who have not
declared an intention, and also prohibits
re-enlistmeut of aliens in the navy
at present, unless they become
naturalized. In reporting the bill to the
House Mr.. McAdoo says thar the COM
mittee has direct evidence that the de-
cadence of tho American merchant marine
has SO reduced the number of American
sailors that difficulty is found in getting
naturalzed men to man our war vessels.
PREFERENCE GIVEN FOREIGNERS.
On this phase OF the question the COM
mittee says il also has evidence that prefer
ence has been given to foreigners IN man
ming the vessels of the navy rather than to
citizens by birth and adoption. Figures are
given as to the number of aliens now In the
naval service. Outside of apprentice boys
there are 1938 American born men in
total force Of 1896, and counting boys there
are 3,66S American born, as against 4,375
foreign born. The committee unanimously
recommends that the bill pass.

DEPEW BREAKS LOOSE.
His Head Full of Erroneous Ideas
About the South.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Chauncey M.
Depew arrived here this evening in excel
lent health. In an interview with a Post
reporter he expressed himself as delighted
with the hospitality of the southern people.
"Did you see much of the new southF
the reporter asked.
'Some of the new south and good deal
of the old south. 1t is there still. The old
stock look on the colored man as a sort of
animal, destitute of moral sense and respon-
sibility, who, like Frankenstein becomes, for
that reason, dangerous in proportion to
his liberty and opportunities. They sin
cerely think that their property will be
wiped out or contlsceteI. their homes
broken up and society destroyed if the
colored mems votes are counted, and they
look upon the northern republicans as a
species of anarchists who will cheer
fully cooperate in that destruction.
Nine-tenths of the democrats of the south
seem to be imbued with such ideas. The
new south has a different spirit; it believes
in mines and mills and corner lots; it be
lieves in attracting enterprise and capital
but the old south is a long way down the
millennium of political regeneration. The
remedy is not plain, but it certainly does
not lie in federal legislation.
THE SOUTHERN CONVICT SYSTEM.
Zone thing which more than any other
has debauched public sentiment in the south
is the convict labor system, which holds in
certain states. Unless Remnants stories of
the Siberian horrors are absolutely true,
there can be no scenes in q civilized country
SO terrible as ia the southern con-
vict camps. These poor wretche:
are leased to men who have nc
interest in their welfare or reformation.
No one sees whether they are properly fed,
clothed, housed, treated, or cared for.
Sometimes the contracts call for certain
number of convicts and the state furnishes
them. How! If they can'6 fill the quota
otherwise, most trivial offenses are made
excuse for long terms of imprisonment.
have no doubt that many innocent men are
serving sentences in southern convict camps

SCOTT DALE, Pa, April 4.-The indica-
tions point to the shutting down of all the
coke plants in this region. Master Work
man Kerfoot and Secretary Parker differ
widely from the operators plan to re
strict the coke production, and state
in positive terms that ii the Scott plant of
asa ovens is closed down next week, as in-
tended, there is probability that all the
works in the region will be put out OF blast.
The labor leaders assert that the notices of
closing the ovens have caused wide dissatis-
faction among the miners.

Lord Randolph Churchill Writes An
other Letter Full of Ridicule.
LONDON, April 5, 3 A. M-Lord Randolph
Churchill in second letter ridicules the
propositions that the land purchase bill is a
tranquilizing and pacifying measure. On
the contrary, he says, it is certain
to lead to Jealousy and reputation among
tenants whose landlords refuse to SELL
to say nothing OF the reputation indicated
in his first letter involving the government
III the hopeless double task of enforcing the
law in cases of no renters and recovery of
money from purchasers. He laughs at the
simplicity of those who think that because
purchase is voluntary there will be no re-
pudiation, or that If offered such an oppor-
tunity to gain his ends Mr.. Parnell would
not jump at it,
PARNELLITE OPPOSITION.
1t is obvious by their fierce opposition
that the Parnellites will dsengage them
selves from responsibility for the conse-
quences, and the argument OF reputation
will be Identical with that of the southern
states after the war of secession. He con-
cludes by saying that nothing but the
most audacious violation of the pledges
given to the English people by the Unionist
party can justify the passing of the bill.
He promises in third letter to advance
proposals of his own for a land purchase
scheme.
