THE nUsSI4N nnvo1UrIov1Srs.

The Russian government doesn't de
 ceiye itself about the real character of I the recent demonstrations among the
 students in the principal cities of the
 empire, In the Official Messenger of
 St, Petersburg it is pointed out that the
 leaders of the movement no longer con
 fined themselves to demanding various
 changes in the organization of the uni versailles but endeavored, both in | speeches made in meetings held with out permission within the walls of the universities and by numerous secret ap- peals, and proclamatons, to induce their comrades to take part in a political movement. and openly declared that changes were necessary in the present form of government At the same time these leaders, recognizing how power less the students were to realize by themselves the objects of the move ment, entered into intimate relations with the existing revolutionary groups and clubs. The Messenger then goes on to declare that 537 members of the uni versity, Ill students of other education al establishments, and S4 other persons of both sexes, have been convicted of taking part in the disorders and of po- litical disaffection. Of these 95 have been banished to Eastern Siberia for periods varying from two to five years, 567 have been sentenced to terms of i'm prisonment ranging from three to six months, and six have been sent to live in their native places for one year un- der police surveillance. In the case of the remaining fourteen proceedings have been dropped. The greater part of those sentenced to imprisonment will be confined in the temporary prison at Archangel.

a majority of at least four thousand.
 This estimate is based on reports have
 received this afternoon and evening
 from men whose judgment and word 1
 can depend on.
 The people here in the first ward know me, and that is why I am going
 to be elected. Alderman Kenna and | myself have built up the greatest ward
 organization in American politics. On six hours notice I van call meeting of 1 workers and two thousand men will re- spond. They'll get there if they have | to borrow car-fare. I've got all of my 1 trusted men with me here in this hotel
 tonight, and I'll give you fifty dollars | if you'll find one of them up after nine | o'clock
 Politics with me is business. | There isn't a precinct in the first ward
 which I haven't had report on this evening. I know exactly where my op- ponent is strongest, just the same as a general knows the stronghold of his en- emy. Under this roof tonight there are precinct captains, judges, clerks and hustlers. Every man of them has been tried and found to be on the square.
 T would trust my life with any one of them. When a man tells me he is going to carry his precinct by so many votes l can depend on it. In all of my campaigning I was never thrown down by man l trusted. I have men in the ranks of the enemy who make daily re- ports, and in this way I keep tab on the other fellow. My motto is that every thing is fair in love, politics and war.
 Fifteen minutes after l turn in to- night I'll be sound asleep. I will be called at 4:15 In the morning and so will my men. We will eat breakfast at five, and every man will be at his post of duty before the time of opening the polls. Can the Municipal Voters League beat that kind of a game? Not in a thousand years
 You don't see any Whiskey bottles around my room tonight, do you? The booze game is cut out by all my work CTS until after the polls are closed take drink for farm until it's ali off | but the shouting. Whiskey and politics don't go very well together. I'm in the business to win, and that is why I fight 1 shy of the booze,"
 Looking at his watch the alderman | noted the time as ten minutes of nine | He began to disrobe, and when the bell | in a railroad depot tower near by |. boomed out nine times the "Bathhouse' had stretched himself between the | sheets Chicago Tribune.

PENTHOUSE JOHN"
Why He Knew He Was Going to Down
 the RefOrmerS

the ReformerS.
 With seventyfive of his trusted lieu tenants Alderman John Coughlin slept on his guns last night at McCoys Ho- tel. Every man was in bed at nine o'clock, and in accordance with long es- tablished custom for the day before election. not one of them took a drink of liquor before retiring. After the polls close it may be different.
 An entire floor of the hotel at Van Buren and Clark streets was set aside for Coughlin and his political workers This has been Coughlin's custom for years on the eve of election, and al though he says he is not superstitious, he always insists on having the same room. It was there he was seen last night shortly before retiring, and this was how he summed up the situation; I'm going to be elected tomorrow by
