PROFOUND SURPRISE TO pEKING
Russfa's Coup a Reply to Chinn's Re-
 fusal of Last Demands,

Peking, May S.-Russia's coup has caused profound surprise here, as re- cent developments had led to the ex- pectation thta Russia would compro- mise her demands, since they had been revealed to the powers. The latest manoeuvre is interpreted as being in- tended as a reply to China's refusal to grant Russia's demands, to the pro- tests of the powers, and as a declara- tion that she is ready to fight in or der to maintain possession of Man churia. It is considered significant that the Russian army re-occupied the time naval achievements were reaching the Gulf of Pc Chi Li. The temporary withdrawal of the Russian troops from New Chwang is believed to have been a feint to avert suspicion from the contemplated policy until the Russian squadron was within useful distance. It has been reported recently that Russia was accommodating great stores of provisions and war materials. It is impossible to confirm these re- ports; but it is known that the Rus sian military authorities have been buying many horses. All the available informa ton indicates that Russia is preparing to increase and not decrease her eorces in Manchuria.
 The foreign ministers yesterday dis cussed information to the effect that the Russians had taken large tract of land across the river from New Chwang and commanding the terminus of the Shan Hai Kwan railroad. It was stated that Russia informed the Chinese officials that the tract was needed for Russian drill ground. The selection Of the site seemed remarka- ble, because all the troops were then quartered on the opposite side of the river, several miles distant, where plenty of land was available.
 The Chinese officials describe the dow- ager empress as being greatly distress ed and as fearing that the Russian ag- gression will excite anti-foreign demon strations resulting in retaliation on the part of the foreigners and the introduc- ton of more foreign troops.
 Nowhere has the suggestion been heard that China will resort to arms in order to resist Russia.
 Prince Ching. the grand secretary. yesterday secured five days leave of ab- sence. This is a favorite strategem of Chinese officials who are desirous of avoiding unpleasant situations.
 It is stated here that Russian inf1u- ence is being exerted to conciliate Amer ican opinion and that appeals are being made to the traditional friendship of the two nations, with the argument that Russian development of Manchuria will open great field for American com merce, while the opposition of the United States to Russia's plans might provoke retaliation against American trade.
 The Russians have established a con- sulate at Mukden.

GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE LINES AGGREGATING OYER 8O.-
 900 MILES AFFECTED. M
All Owned by the state of Victoria in AustraIia-spec,ai Session or ParIfa-
 mont to consider HIaaser--Troub:e : the E. Result ofan Unusuai Dispnts- Untoiss Distress Threatened.

Melbourne, Victoria, Saturday, May g. IA strike on the state-owned railroads of Victoria began at midnight. Dem onstrations previously occurred in front of the newspaper offices, and troops were sent to patrol the streets. Other wise the city is quiet. #sls
 The government has arranged for a limited passenger service, but freight traffic is entirely suspended. Up to the present time the strike is confined to drivers and firemen. Already there has been a sharp increase in the prices of provisions and fuel. Over 30,000 miles of railroad are affected by the strike. A prolonged stoppage of traffic would paralyze trade and cause untold dis tress in the country districts. Public meetings are being organized and spe- cial prayers are being offered in the churches. It is alleged that the strik- CTS have been promised, financial aid from English and American trades unions. The government has called a special session of parliament, which will meet next Wednesday, when it is said that the governments action will be upheld. %A&
 It is thought that the labor party can Influence large section of the members of the legislature and a prolonged and disastrous struggle is expected unless sense of the magnitude of the calamity should induce spirit of compromise. The service that handles Melbourne's suburban traffic has practically ceased to exist. Every available vehicle is be- ing utilized to reach the city, and the street cars are crowded. . ,@r
 Arrangements are being made to dis patch the Coastal mails by steamer and to transport the inland mails by coach. Several engines have been derailed as result of the unfamiliarity with the ser vice of the men who have been obliged to act as substitutes. ss2 x "
 The strike is the outcome of curious dispute between the government and the railroad employees regarding the right of the latter to affiliate them selves with the Victoria Trades hall, the headduarters of trade unionism in this colony. The employees of the rail- roads are practically civil servants, and the government claims that in case of a stffirike in other trades affiliated with the Trades Hall the railroad men would be obliged to strike in sympathy. and therefore the government notified the railroad men yesterday that unless tel1y withdrew from the Trades hall before May 12 they would be dismissed. :
 The Engineers association replied that unless the government withdrew it's rlo- tification before o'clock last evening they would strike at midnight and leave their locomotives wherever they happened to be. The government has guaranteed double wages for two months to non-strikers and notified the men that they will lose their pensions if they strike. About 11,00O railroad men are involved in the dispute.

 After Rev. MT. Gummacis Refused.
 New York, May S.-Dunean c. Pell. socially we'll known.t independently wealthy and member of the Pell fam fly of this city, who is now spending his honeymoon abroad with his second wife, has been sued for divorce by his first wife. Mrs. Anna ogden Pell, who names in her suit Helen Louise Gardner, the woman MT Pell married after obtaining divorce in Florida. Y 55. .-.
 The first Mrs. Pell contends that the Florida decree was invalid in New York, as the Florida courts had no ju- risdictiori.
 Mrs. Anna Ogden Peii was a Miss Pendleton, member of a Staten Island family, at the time of her marriage on December 14, 1892, at New Brighton. She is the mother of two children, Duncan .C, Pell, jr.. and Dorothy O. Pell, aged eleven and ten years respectively, who are now in her custody. She and her husband did not get along amicably, but to avoid any publicity they entered into articles of separation in 1895, by the terms of which the children were left in her custody and he agreed to pay her s150 a month.
 Mir pell. some two years ago. when he inherited considerable fortune from an aunt who died in Paris, purchased a winter residence at Orlando, Fla. Since thens1h he has spent most of his time there in order, it is said, to make it his legal residence.
 About year ago Mrs. Pell was served with papers in an action brought by him in Florida on the ground of desertion. Mrs. Pell insisted that she was resi- dent of this state. as he was also, and that the Florida courts had no jurisdic- ton over her. She did not put In an ap- pearance in the case. MT. Pell stopped the payment of alimony. After he came north he was located in West Haven. Conn.,, where on October 16 last he mar ried Helene Louise Gardner. He and his second wife spent last winter in Florida.
 Duncan c. Pell is a son of Archibald Pell and a brother of H. Archibald Fell He is also third cousin of S. Osgood Pell, whose matrimonial affairs have been much before the public.
 The first Mrs. PelI is talented as an actress. and not long after the Florida divorce she went to Decatur. H., to study for the stage under F, F. Powers. She soon returned to this city and is now living here with her mother at 66 West Ninety-sixth street.
 MT. Pell's second marriage caused much surprise when it became known through a marriage notice published Oc- tober 25, 1902 His second wife, Miss Helene Louise Gardner is a daughter of Alfred +. Gardner of West Haven, Conn. She was eighteen old.
 Mr. Pell had difficulty in finding a clergyman, and finally sought the ser- vices of Bernard E. Lynch, a justice of the peace, who performed the ceremony at the house of a relative of the bride, James H. Peck. in West Haven. The brides parents were present. Rev. Ar thur J. Gammack of Christ P. F. church declined to marry the couple upon learning os MT. Pells divorce.

SUIT AGAINST OFFICERS.

Suit will be brought by Blummer
burlington of Kensal against Sheriff
Eddy, Justice Pearson and States At
torney Baldwin of Stutsman county to
recover $4,000 for alleged malicious
prosecution and false Imprisonment.
burlington was brought ove from
Kensal to act as a witness before
Justice Pearson. He was questioned
regarding Kensal blind pigs and re-
fused to answer, contending that the
Justice had no Jurisdiction, as no case
had been instituted. Justice Pearson
sent him to the county Jail for con-
tempt. The district court granted a
writ of habeas corpus in the case and
burlington was released after being in
Jail four days.
The Jamestown city council is con-
sidering the feasibility of a PROPOSE
ton made by the Trimble company Of
that city to drill an artesian we'll and
furnish the city water at 2 cents per
1000 gallons. There is a difference OF
opinion as to the adequacy of the
present supply. The Western Electric
company has a contract to supply the
city with water at the present time
at az cents, and there is likely to be
a scrap before the council grants per-
mission to the new company to do bus

Hunters Paid for Their Licenses.

One of the most difficult tasks that a
game warden in North Dakota has to
perform is to prevent hunting by non.
has been tried in several cases with
varying success, but there are a few
cases in which the success was so poor
that the experiment will in all proba-
bility not be tried again.
A few weeks ago Game Warden Hale
was in the vicinity of Church's Ferry.
and he met a couple of men hunting
and approached them to see if they
were properly equipped with permits.
One of the men was Hon. Davis s..
Simpson of Minneapolis. judge of the
district court. He informed Mr.. Hale
that he had a resident permit, being
the owner of land in North Dakota, the
description of which he gave to Mr..
Hale. This proved correct. Judge
Simpsons companion produced a per-
nit made out to J. D. Simpson,a cousin
of the Judge, who is also an owner OF
North Dakota land. This was inspect
ed and found to be in proper form. 1t
happened that Mr.. Hale had in his
pocket at that particular time the
name and address Of the a who
called himself ]. D. Simpson, who, in
stead Of being that particular person,
was c. ]. Miner, auditor of Hennepin
county, Mimi, not an owner of land IN
North Dakota, and not entitled to a
resident permit in the name Of him.
self or any other person. Mr.. Hale
had no evidence at that time that Mr..
Miner had been shooting and went on
his way. A little later he received a
letter from Judge Simpson acknowl-
edging the attempt at impersonation
and stating that when Mr.. Miner came
to the state he was under the impress
sion that ANY old permit" would be
good enough, but after seeing the war
den and obtaining some information
otherwise he had changed his mind and
had paid $25 for a nonresident permit
at Church's Ferry.
A short time before this three other
Minnesota men hailing from Mcintosh
had used resident permits on improper
representations, but later sent in .
check for SIS for three nonresident
permits.
