REVOLT IN RUSSIA.
The Situation Is Regarded as Very
SeriOus-Pubic Officials Are
Threatened,

st. Petersburg, March 25.-The po-
litlcal situation is SO serious that En-
peror Nicholas held a meeting of the
ministers Sunday to consider the state
of public affairs. Threatening letters
have been received by Lieut.. Gen.
kouropatkine, minister of war; M. N
V. Mouravieff, minister of justice, and
M. Sipiagnine, minister of the interior
Renewed demonstrations on great
scale are expected to-day. 1t is re-
ported that Prince Viazemsky has
been disgraced for petitioning the car
to consider the grievances of the stu
dents. Lagowslli, the provincial Off
cial who last Friday attempted to as
sassinate Privy Councillor Pobodonost-
zeff, procurator general of the holy
synod, is a disciple of Count Leo Toll
stoi, and he has asserted that the act
was out of revenge for the excommuni-
cation of Tolstoi.
According to a special dispatch to
the Rossya, the governor general Of
Kleff, Gen. Dragomiroff, has published
riot ordinance similar to that pub
lished by Gen. Klejgels in ST. Peters
burg, and declaring tnat the military
will be called out unless the ordinance
is strictly obeyed.
Inc cay passed quietly in St. Peters
burg. Some 10000 persons promenaded
about noon along the Nevskoi Pros
pekt, particularly in front of the Ca
thedral of Our Lady of Kazan. The
crowd dwindled to normal proportions
when 1T became apparent that nothing
would happen. The promenaders were
for the greater part curiosity seekers.
st. Petersburg, March 25.-At the
council of ministers, which was con-
vened by the car at the Tsarskoe-Sele
palace Sunday, it was decided not to
abolish the law for drafting recalci-
trant students into the army, but for
the present to refrain from APPLYING
the law. 1t was also resolved to revise
the university statutes. The decision
10 regarded as step in the right di-
rection, because it is an attempt at
partial remedy of the grievances of
The students.
London, March 25.-The Daily Mail
publishes the following, dated March
"a, from it's ST. Petersburg CORE
spondent: Saturday 500 workmen
from the Obuchower metal works pa
raded on the Nevskoi prospekt. On
the way thither they demolished the
state brandy booths. Eight hundred
Cossacks, with drawn swords, met
the workmen and sanguinary en-
counter ensued. The number of
killed and wounded is kept secret.
The ST. Petersburg correspondent
of the Daily Express says: In the
last encounter at Narva Gate 100
workmen are reported to have been
killed or wounded by the Cossacks
The police have discovered a plot
against the life of the car. It ap-
pears that a group of students drew
lots and that the fatal choice fell to
the son of a prominent general. The
student told his father and the latter
informed the car, imploring him to
leave ST. Petersburg.
ST. Petersburg, March rs. = Ka-

Russian minister of public instruction,

THE KNOCKER.
1t takes all kinds of people

Ittakes all kinds of people
To make up this queer old world,
And it's hard to tell what prize to deal
out first,
But for an easy starter,
Just to get the list unfurlcd,
The man who's always knocking Is the
worst.
What's the use Of always grumbling,
At the things your neighbor does,
Why not help him push good thing OH
the way?
Why not slap him on the shoulder,
When he tells his brilliant plans,
And tell him that you know he'll make
itpay?
But the Knockers always ready,
With his little hammer out,
To tap each novel scheme upon the
head. ..
And he keeps on with his pounding,
From morn to dewy eve,
Until he thinks the plans as good dis
dead.
Then let's shun such q bad example,
And let up on our abuse
OF the things some other fellows plan
ned to do.
Let's praise his high ambition,
And on knocking call truce,
II he's got good thing, help him put il
through.

THE SOUTH'S MARVELLOUS EX-
PANSION.
Leslie's Weekly.


When Jay in 1904 negotiated with
England the first commercial treaty
OF any consequence which his country
ever entered into, he appears not to
have been aware that cotton was
then, or ever would be, an article OF
export OF the United States. Its pro.
ductiOn, too, was Insignificant. For
the past few years its annual average
production has been abou: 10000, 900
bales OF 500 pounds each, and its an
nual average expectation has been over
5000, 900 bales. The worlds total an.
nuahcotton product is about l2,O0O, ,0OO
bales. In the amount Of its cotton
manufactures the South has advanced
from zero in the early days to per
cent Of it's immense crop OF today, as
compared with l3 per cent manufact.
ured by the Northern States, and the
South is gaining in IA ratio double as
fast as the North.
An estimate just made is that the
income Of the fifteen Southern States
in 1900 was So. 750, 900. or this stipend
Gus amount s5OOOOO, 900 was from
wheat, corn, sugar, tobacco and the
best Of the products Of the soil (exclu.
sivc OF cotton; 81 l,5O0, 900, 900 from coal,
iron ore and the other mining pro.
ducts and the manufactures thereof.
and $3.50, 100000 from cptton and co t.
ton manufactures. In the production
Of raw cotton the South had an in.
come in the past twelve months $3.50,

The moral advancement Of the
South keeps pace with its material
expansion. In that section more than
$400, 100000 has been expended fol

favorably today. Mr.. Allen appeared

bill. He told Of his sweet associations
in Congress and OF his career which is
about to close. These revived memo.

selves on either flank. A few rude
jokes were heard, and they died out
quickly as the c0mbatants rode up to
the deadline. Both were calm and
cool, and on the captains face there
was half smile. Poor fellow, there
was already the scars Of three honor
able wounds upon his body; the fourth
would be his death wound.
They were placed, and sat their
borses like men who are about to
charge. Each head was turned lit

The reins well gathered up, the right
hand held the deadly pistols, loaded
fresh an hour before.
"Rea0y-whcel!' The trained steeds
turned upon pivot as one steed.
"Fire!
The lieutenant never moved from
his tracks. The captain dashed upon
him at II full gallnp. firing as he came
on. Three chambers were empty and
three bullets sped away over the prai-
rie. harmless. Before the fourth fire
was given the captain was abreast Of
the lieutenant and aiming at him at
deadly range. Too late! The lieu.
tenant threw out his pistol until the
nluzzle almoSt touched che captains
hair and fired. The horse dashed
away riderless, the captains life blood
upon his trappings. There was a face
in the grass, widowed woman in
| Missouri and a soul somewhere in the
white hush and waste of eternity.
Comrades buried him before the sun
rose, before the dew was dried upon
the grass, and returned from the scene
of combat without word of comment
