Torch Used in
Russian Strike
Ineendsrism Causes Estimated
Loss of 835.OOO,OOO

London: The Daily Mails Nlko-
laeifG correspondent. under date of Au-
gust 2, fully confirms the Times cor.
respondents accounts of strikes in
South Russia.
The correspondent says a quarter Of
million men are affected and that
simultaneously strikes occurred over
vast Industrial area
He says that the amount of studied
organization and well concealed pre-
parations was unprecedented in the
troubled annals of Russian labor
Prices of the necessities of life are
rising by leaps and bounds.
The strikers, on the whole. have
preserved exemplary order, but this,
however, has not saved them from
savage attacks directed by General
Arzenieff, Governor of Odessa.
| Groups of men, who assembled last
Saturday with the intention of holding
meeting, were driven into a solid
mass by 500 Cossacks, backed by two
lines of infantry with fixed bayonets.
About 1000 strikers being thus in
closed by a double Gordon, the Cos
sacks rode through them, striking
right and left with heavy whips. the
fallen men being trampled under the
horses feet.
when the living mass had been
thoroughly kneaded to the Governors
will" continues the correspondence,
numerous men were arrested as sus-
pected agitators. The infantry then
marched off and the strikers scattered
in dozen directions with Cossacks at
their heels
1T is reported that 400 strikers were
more or less seriously injured, and
that from six to a dozen succumbed.
The whole affair is a typical piece of
administrative savagery.
The extraordinary feature of the
movement at Odessa is that the police
and gendarmes belonging to the depot
threatened to throw off their uniforms
and risk all the terrors of insubordina-
| ton unless the miserable pittance of
IL to IA pence which they are allowed
daily was increased and the hours of
labor reduced Siberia is losing it's
terrors even for Russian policemen.
"The epidemic of incendiarism Is
spreading through Russia. Scarcely a
day passes without news of confiagra-
tions. At Baku alone the destruction
has been colossal. Tens of millions
of gallons Of naphtha have been burn.
ed. In twenty-four of the largest
towns the damage due to fire in the
last month is estimated at $30,000,000
to $35,OOO,OOO.
Public opinion in Odessa is entire
ly on the side of the striking sailors
which has been employing men for
years has only paid sailors at the rate
of 25 shillings a month"

How the News EIrst came.

The means by which the crowd first
became aware of the identity of the
new pope was a clever signal from
the roof in one of the vatican gardens
"Sarto,' in Italian, means tailor" A
person on the roof made with his fin
gers a motion as of cutting with scis-
sOrs. Instantly the crowd caught the
significance of the pantomime. and the
cry went up, "Sarto is pope"
1t was not until 1895 o'clock that
the name of Cardinal Sarto began to
be whispered around the vatican
gates. Confirmation soon followed,
and the election of the patriarch of
Venice was received with general sat
isfaction. Five minutes later the for
NAL announcement was made by the
eldest cardinal deacon, as described
above.
Is Of Humble Birth.
Giuseppe Sarto, Pope Plus X, was
born near Riese. a little town in the
diocese of Treviso, not very far from
Venice, of which he was destined in
the fulness of time to become pat
Tiarch. His parents were small farm
ers, truck farmers they are called in
the United States, and the future
pope's boyhood days were spent in
| performing the humble tasks that u.s.
ually fall to the lot of the average
Italian farmers son. His school days
we're at first intermittent and infre-
/
ifested a studious disposition and was
fond of reading any books that he
could obtain.
