SEATTLE, Wn., April 23.-The interest
in the Great Northern strike here now
centers in whether the Northern Pacific
men will strike. Those on the Pacific

decided not to strike and great efforts
are being made to induce those on the
other divisions to rescind the decision
already arrived at to strike this evening
at o'clock.
kilograms have been sent to President
Debs asking him to his influence to
prevent the strike as the more conserva-
tive are of the opinion that such a move
would be generally condemned by the
public and cause the Great Northern
men to lose the sympathy of the public.

Bold and Brutal Robbers In the Caucasus
Hob and III Treat n Good Man.
Brigands in the Caucasus are becom-
ing bolder than ever before. Extraor-
dinary stories of their recent outrages
are coming to hand. The following Is
a typical instance:
The other day band of "a men, with
pack horse and ammunition. ap-
preached the village of Zaturoif in the
Baku naphtha region. They met four
peasants and asked where the richest
man lived. The first peasant refused to
say and was Immediately cut down.
The second, declining to give any infor-
nation, was stabbed. The other two
led the brigands to the house of he
nevolcnt wealthy man, Hadshi Hus-
se'n. The latter hesitated to say where
his money was kept, but a dagger driv-
On through the muscles of his right arm
and left there induced him to lead the
robbers to his safe, where they found
10000 rubles in gold and valuables
worth an equal amount. Hadshi Hus-
sein was afterward decapitated.
His housekceper wore gold earrings,
which attracted the attention of the
murderers. In moment her ears were
cut from her head. She sprang to the
door, but was stabbed. Her cries had
alarmed the villagers, who opened a
fusillade upon the robbers. The latter
made desperate sortie, regained their
horses and made cd their retreat,
leaving four dead victims. All efforts
have failed to unearth the band. Mos
