BACK TO SLAVERY.
The Czar Reported To Be About to Re-
store Serfdom.

PARIS, January 31.-According to adj
vices from st. Petersburg the Czar in
tends to initiate measures for the restor-
alton of serfdom among the peasants.
Reports from many district officials have
occurred in the statements that the in
crease of population in the villages is so
great that the land belonging to the
ssmirs,'' or local communes, is insuffi-
cient to support all the members. The
government, with the view of remedy
ing the evil, proposes to allocate to peas
ants vast tracts of land under conditions
similar to those of serf tenure. A third
of the harvest is to be stored in
communal magazines for the sup
port of the peasants, third is to be
sold to the government for payment of
local debts to the state, and a third is to
be retained for the payment of govern
ment taxes. The peasants will not be
allowed to move from the communes,
will he bound to the soil and will be
obliged to fulfill the contracts with the
state. The system will be first applied
in the provinces of Samara and Saratoff,
and, if successful, will be extended all
over the empire. The execution of the
new law will be entrusted to the district
officials, as if these are recruited from
the nobility, who favor the restoration of
serfdom, they will be certain to report
the scheme success.

TWO THOUSAND RAILROAD MEN.
They Meet in New York to Consider Clos
er Relations.

NEW YORK, January 31.-Two thou
sand railroad men, representing every
state and territory Of the United States
met here today. Conductors, engineers,
firemen, brakemen and telegraphers
were present. All were members of Or
ganizations distinct from each other.
One object of the meeting was to bring
about closer and more friendly relations
between the different organizations with
a view to effecting a consolidation at no
distant day The meeting indorsed the
bills now pending before the legislature
limiting the hours of service, providing
against accidents and regulating the
number Of men to manage the various
classes of trains. 1t was voted to make
an effort to amend the conspiracy law.
Ex-Road Commissioner Coffin of Iowa
introduced resolution providing for the
equipment of all freight trains with auto
matte couplers and air brakes and it was
unanimously adopted. All the speakers
urged closer relationship between the
different organizations but not amalgama-
ton nor federation at this time. This
might be advisable later on.

RULES APPROVED.
But the Democrats Cared So Little About
Them that Few Went Into Caucus.

WASHINGTON, January 30.-The Dem
ocratic caucus tonight for the purpose of
considering the action to be taken upon
the proposed code of rules was very
poorly attended. The roll call showed
121 members present, more than ma
iority of caucus, and the following Off
GERS were elected to serve during the en-
suing Congress:
Chairman-Mr Holman of Indiana.
Secretaries Anderson of West Vir-
ginia and Robertson of Louisiana.
Although no organized opposition was
made to these officers, there was a good
deal of speech making INDUCED in. The
cast iron rule was adhered to that no
cards should be sent in to members dur
ing the progress of the caucus. 1t has
been very rare case when such action
has been taken, and this evening there
was no occasion for it as the proceedings
were devoid of interest owing to the
small attendance. The Speaker took the
floor for twenty-five minutes in support
of the code of rules recommended by the
committee on rules. His remarks were
vigorous and commanded deep atten-
ton. After great deal OF debate the
rules were approved by vote OF eighty
to six. though some opposition was raised
on the ground that there was no quorum.

ANOTHER WAR CLOUD.
This One Hovers Over the City Of
Bridgeport, Conn.
CAPTAIN OF A BRITISH SHIP
THREATENS TO FIRE.

He Violated the Law by Failing to Hoist
the Stars and Stripes and the Crowd
Wanted to Haul Down His English En-
sigma Revolver Had a Quieting Effect
but an Attack Is Promised.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, January 81
Shortly after noon the big three masted
schooner Glendon of St. John, N. b.,
sailed into this harbor with the British
jack floating from the mizzen, in direct
violation of the United States law which
provides that the vessels ensign must alr
ways be accompanied by the stars and
stripes. The fore and mainmasts were
destitute of bunting. AS the vessel
sailed up the harbor the British flag was
perceived by people on the docks and as
the vessel passed the two bridges the
abutments were black with excited men
who greeted the obnoxious flag with
Kisses, mingled with cries of "Haul
it down. and 'sshootit.' Captain Trow-
bridge of the schooner drew his pistol
and swore he would shoot the first man
who laid hand on the halyards. When
the vessel finally reached her berth at
Swords wharf, just in the rear OF the
Fourth Regiment armory, over 1000 men
on the wharf were joined by 70 unarmed
militia men from the armory. They at
tempted to tear down the flag, but We're
driven off at the revolver's point by the
crew. The American flag was then
hoisted on an adjoining schooner, amid
great cheering. The British flag still
floats but will be forcibly removed in the
morning,
