OFFICIAL LIST OF EMPLOYEES 1nPUGNED

NAMES OF DAY LABoRERs NOT INCLUDED IN
1.-THE CITY RECORDS" CATEGORY.
It is being charged that the lists OF city employees
recently published in The City Record do not
contain the names Of nearly six thousand laborers
who have been employed for short intervals in sew
eral Of the city departments. and that the failure
10 print the names is a failure to comply with the
Fallows law which provides for the publication
Of the names Of all employees with the rate Of wages
paid.
P. E. Maggie. the Commissioner Of Street Clean
ing, gave an account OF 1S4s sweepers, 1893 drivers
and 102 hostlers whose names are omitted and the
lists fail to give the names of 1888 laborers in the
Department Of Highways, 1896 in the Department OF
Sewers and 256 in the Department Of Water supply:
It has been said at the office OF the Supervisor Of
The City Record that Corporation Counsel
Whalen advised that the law did not require the
publication of the names OF labOrers who were en-
ployed by the day.

win be no strikes, but that happy period
can be relegated to the equally happy
one when according to the old song
Every day n be Sunday-by and bye. +"
Some statistics of strikes in Germany
during the first three months OF this
year are quite interesting as showing
how closely the subject is followed up
there. A consular report says:
"The number of strikes not settled on
January 1, 1900, was as. New strikes in
augurated during the first three months
of 1900 numbered $3.50; terminated dur
ing the first three months of 1900 303
This latter number affected 1922 mana
gements, of which 943 were closed down
completely. Under all of the 1922 ma
nagements, the number of employees
was S1.151, of whom 1852 quilted work.
In 272 arrangements, the strike did not
extend to all employees. The highest
number of employees striking at the
same time was $1,000. One thousand
seven hundred and thirty-eight en-
ployees were forced to be idle OF the
303 strikes. g. were entirely successful,
81 partially so, and las were unsuccess-
full. OF the &C strikes inaugurated be-
fore January 1, 1900, AZ We're terminated
during the first three months of this
year; and of the $50 strikes begun dur
ing this period, 261 terminated before

THE RUSSIAN ARMY.

A few days ago mention was made of
on a peace footing and its full force Of
100000, but this sinks into insignificance
with the military power of Russia, and
yet Japan like a plucky little terrier, is
ready to fly at the big dog and when
called upon will give a good account of
itself
The three great military powers of the
world are Russia. Germany and France,
the two latter have, on a peace footing
about 100000 men, but Russia on a
peace footing has close on to one mil
lion. What Russia could put into the
field on war footing, were she to put
forth all her strength no one can tell.
However some idea can be formed
when it is considered that the male po-
pulation alone is 65,0O0,O00, the total po-
pulation is close on 100, 900, 900. However
according to paper statistics the war
footing of the Imperial armies is over
100000 men drilled armed and equipped.
These numbers seem almost incredi-
BILE, but it must be remembered that
men present themselves at various CEN
ters for military service. IF this vast
mass at least three quarters are placed
in the reserves, but that leaves $50, 900
annually to be drafted into the regular
army. All these men are liable for SER
vice up to their forty third year.
The bulk of this vast army is kept in
European Russia in the fortresses and
the military camps, but considerable
masses of troops are kept in the eau
casus, about the Caspian sea, in the
neighborheed of Persia in Turkestan
right up to the very gates of India and
Afaganistan, in and around lake Baikal
and especially along the Amur and the
Chinese frontier while at Port Arthur
there has been a force of about 1000 till
the breaking out of hostilities with
China.
With such force it would seem that
Russia could overwhelm any power that
thing which prevents her from using
this vast and irresistible force, and that
is lack of money. With all her great
resources, with all her population, with
all her vast possessions, Russia stag
gers under a load of debt so great that
bankruptcy stares her in the face. In
dividual Russians may be rich, but the
mass of the russians are desperately
poor 1t has been calculated recently
that the average annual income
per hoo Of the population of Russia is
but twenty nine dollars and of this
twelve goes in taxes, leaving but seven
teen dollars as the yearly income of
each Individual. But for this circum-
stance Russia might be the greatest
menace to the peace of the world, in
the hands of an ambitious and an I'M
scrupulous ruler. Japan fears Russia,
but as long as Russia remains so miser-
ably poor, the menace of her arms
seems greater than it really is.

STRIKES.

The question of strikes, has not, up to
the present, affected us to any appre-
q BILE extent. But our time for expe-
riencing this form of economic develop
ment is drawing near and we may ex-
pect such things in the future. With
a view to meeting. such conditions The
Star has suggested that the French sys-
TEN of meeting strikes, known as the
syndicate system, should be looked into
by our contractors and other employers
of labor. That system of course does
not prevent strikes, but it gets over a
large number of them by means of abb
t,ation, and it prevents such a condition
as we have come up against here, when
workmen reduce their hours while con-
tracts are still pending, thus causing
ser ious loss to the contractors.
IN all countries of any commercial
In portance, strikes are tabulated, con-
sidered and studied so that their history
may serve as a guide both to the
strikers and those struck against.
When the millennium is reached, there

In the library here is a book entitled
the Adventures of De Rougemont." The
book is published without the necessary
explanation which should have accom-
panied it. It is one Of the most extra
ordinary fakes of the century. The
whole work is purely fictitious and it's
character was exposed a year or so ago
both in the English and the American
press. 1t originally appeared in the
wide World" magazine the editor of
which was taken in by De Rougemont.
The magazine apologized for printing
the story, acknowledged the fake, and
ran it for what it was worth. 1t is odd
to find this republished in book form
without word of explanation as to its
being a fake. That De Rougemont was
a clever fakar is shown by the fact that
for some time he took in the savants
at the British association, but he was
exposed at last.

The bringing of negroes as laborers
to the Territory is not going to be such
an easy matter as many people
thought. That city negroes can be OBJ
tanned is true, but the city negro is not
the class of man we want. He would
not stay upon a plantation three
months, but would be UP and off for
Honolulu, going TO swell the undesir-
able population of the city. What we
want is the country or agricultural
negro, and % get him there is not only
the necessity OF overcoming his conser-
vative instincts which object to change,
but there is also the Southern employ
er to be considered, who is going to
strain every nerve to prevent a desir-
able laborer leaving his vicinity. The
negro would be better off here as he
would have steady work the year round
and his hours of labor would be shorter

HANNA FOR THE Bill
Senator Hanna Makes a Long Speech
For the Ship Subsidy Bill
Today.
Says It Will Do More Than Anything
Else to Build Up the Mer-
chant Marine.
Senator is the Principal Attraction at
the Session of the Senate
Today.

Washington, Dec. b. Senator Han
ma was the one attraction of the sen
ate this morning because OF. his speech.
favoring the ship subsidy bill, while
the Clark senatorial case and the
British treaty were added features
Consequently the galleries were
crowded. Senator Money offered a
resolution. directing the president to
open negotiations with Great Britain
for the abrogation of the Clayton
BulWer treaty, but it; was laid ON the
table. Hanna began his speech by
citing the case of the lake marine
growth as an example of what had
been achieved. What was true of
the commerce OF; the lakes would also
be true of commerce elsewhere.
He said he did not propose to run
TaWay from the tongue Of sIander or
imputations of improper motives made
by some of the opponents to the meas
ure. There are many people favor
able to the upbuilding of the mer-
chant marine but they have been mis-
led and influenced by misrepresenta-
tions apparently willfully made. The
passage of this bill will createiin five
years more OF a capacity than we have
in our yards. Hanna completed his
speech at 2, and the senate went into
executive session
In the house the holiday recess was
fixed December p to January 3. The
war tax bill consideration was re
sumed and it was ordered that debate
close tomorrow at 2 o'clock.

POLICIES PAID.

ON THE LIFE OF DR.. MUSGROVE.
II WHOSE ESTATE is IN LITIGA-
{. TION IN THE PROBATE COURT.
I Fargo, Dec. 13. Manager Boyce of
the Mutual Life Insurance company of
New York, received check this morn
ing from the head Office in New York
for $4,000, payment in full as per their
face, of two policies for So 600 each,
on the life Of the late Dr. VIM. J..
Musgrove of Grafton. 1t will be re-
called that several months ago the
body of the doctor was found drowned,
near an institution he had been at
tending in Wisconsin. Mr. Boyce
says he will take the check to Grafton
in a day or two and hand it over to
the person entitled ITO receive it. One
policy was issued Dec. i, 1897, and
only three of the fifteen premiums had
been paid. The second policy, also
for SO, 900, was issued Feb. 10, 1899, a
twenty payment endowment on which
: " ;
only two payments had been made.
For the present the money will be
held by. the executor of the doctors
estate. The will which the doctor
left provides for the division of his
estate among persons whom it is al
legged, are not relatives and the will
is
who claim a snare in the estate. The
first legal tussle, in which it is ex-
pected will develop into a very inter
esting PROBATE case, will come before
William Mckenzie, county judge for
Walsh county, at Grafton next Mon
day. The wife and children of Judge
sauter OF Grafton are the principals
mentioned in the will. 81 4
