Duchesses Alexandra and Constantine the latter
of the most beautiful of the Empire,
have placed their palaces at the service of the Red
Cross and the city in their noikdS. calling on
members of the aristocracy and the well-to-do in
general to induce them to give up their old linen for
wounded soldiers. Behind their equpages travel
covered furniture carrying the gifts
train conveying the Easter souvenirs prepared
by the wife of the Grand Duke Constantine for the
Russian sailors despatched to the East amid the
greatest enthusiasm. On board was special basket
containing thirteen eggs sent by the Empress to
General Stoessel for distribution among the
defending the Notifications at Port Arthur who have
distinguished themselves. The train also carried
seventeen thousand Easter eggs to provide each
sailor in the Far East with souvenir. Each egg
contained portrait of the Emperor, book, soap
and towel tobacco pouch note paper, etc, wrapped
in handkerchief bearing pictures of Peter the Greats
boat and of Russian naval victories.
The striking from the Czarina's Court list of the
of Princess Marya Michailovna Dashkoff for an
innocent remark shows how seriously the Czarina
takes her duties in connection with the When
Princess Dashkoff was asked like all other Court
women, to join the sewing class, she consented; but
remarked to lady of honor that she would prefer to
hire twenty seamstresses who would do work
than all the Czarna's thousand aristocrats. This
observation was retailed to the Czarina who forth
with put the Princess the blacklist. The incident
created some sensation, as the Princess

Czarina to hold, work for her do no duties for
her fulhll-she is, it were interloper in her

of affairs for her when things peace with Russia;
but it is infinitely when the whole Empire
is seethng with excitement, and the air is alive with
the clamor of
She do nothing; for whenever she tries she is
promptly told that the Czarina Dowager has already
arranged to do it Then, if she persists she is made
understand that her duty in life is to provide
Russia with Czarovitch, and that until this is
pshed the queter she keeps herself and the less she
is seen heard of the better.
The CZarina, always accompanied by her eldest
sister, the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, wife of the
Cars uncle, the Grand Duke Serge, has been making
trips through the lower quarters of St Petersburg,
urging patriotism upon the poorer classes; and the
police have been purposey warned not to interfere
with these expeditions of the Empress to avoid
any appearance of generalization The Grand Duchess

society has been obliged to decline thousands of
quests for enrolment The Russian public is greatly
touched by these evidences of patriotism the part
of the women, and the result will be a much larger
of freedom for in the future. Russian
already enjoy liberty than the
of any country except the Ango-Saxon, and the
result is that in times of national danger they
comport themselves with great heroism- The part
they played at the siege of Sebastopol will ever be
remembered
1t is not only among the aristocrats that this out

St. Petersburg throwing up her profitable engage

touring the country the way, dancing to houses
packed to their capacity and giving the entire pro-
ceeds of every performance the benefit of the Red
Cross Society.
Another popular favorite, the singer Labunskaia,
is proving her patriotism. She is of the prettiest
singers of chansonettes in Russia and also is making
a striking of her native country, which began at
Perm, little west of the Ural Mountains. There,
after singing little song to loud applause, she de1v-

RIGHT OF WAY FOR LOGGERS.
Lossers Will Ask Legislation Allowing Them
to Condemn Rights Of Way.

to Condemn Rights Of Way.
at a conference OF Portland, Grays
harbor and Seattle loggers, begun in
Portland, continued on Grays harbor
and in Seattle and Tacoma, IL has been
decided to ask the legislature to enact a
law granting the right of eminent domain
to logging corporations.
The logEers in this state demand the
right to condemn a right Of way over
lads that intervene between their hold
ings and rivers or railroads used for
sending logs to market. Such right Of
way would either be small strip used
for skidway or for logging roads.
1t is contended by loggers that the
law which grants the right of ::eminent
domain to transportation lines, and con.
fers similar privileges upon other cor
porations, discriminating when logging
roads are not given an equal right. At
present the logging roads cannot be
pushed into territory where other land
owners object, despite the fact rat the
extension OF the line is necessary to pei:
nit loggers to continue in business.
While loggers as rule have found
timber land owners willing to co operate
with them, it is pointed out that several
big land owners have refused to permit
loggers operating back of them to reach
the LOGGING streams over their prOOertV
This applies particularly to tim Der land
owners who are eager to acquire prop.

every me ms OF egress from logging

Coal Mine at Auction.

The coal mine owned by the MontevaIio Coal Company will be sold at public out cry, for the second time, in front of the Federal building Monday morning. This sale is the result of an unusual decree by Judge Thomas G. Jones in the case of Irwin I. Gardner vs. The Montevallo Coal and Railroad Company.
 On February 4th. last, the same prop erty was sold at the same place by Major Charles J. Allison, as clerk of the United States Court, and was bid in by Drennen & Co.,. for the sum of $6,100 The price was not satisfactory, however. and the judge accordingly issued decree order ing the property to be opened for bids 10 March 9. On Thursday. w. c. Sterrett bid in the mine for s6.500. and 1t was knocked down to him. The former pur- chasers advanced the claim that they had had no opportunity to bid again and complications were about to ensue.
 To avoid all trouble. Judge Jones has ordered that the bids be declared off and the property put up for public sale. This will accordingly be done Monday morning at 10 o'clock. The mine is situated near Montevallo and is considered a splendid piece of property.

FIFTH DISTRICT MATTER.
Governor Declines to C--ange Date of
 Special Election.

Governor Declines to C--ange Date of
 Special Election.
 There were two developments yester- day in the campaign in the Fifth dis trict for the honor of succeeding the late Congressman Charles W. Thompson.
 A request was received from some in terested parties by Governor Jelks to ex- tend the time set for the election in his proclamation of Friday and the entry of pr. J. A. Goggins as a candidate was re- ceived.
 More or less mystery attaches to the sending of the request for an extension of the time of the election. In reply to questions, the report that such a peti- tion had been received was confirmed. Who sent the request was not given out by the executive Department.
 It was reported on the streets that such A petition had been made to the Cover nor. Those familiar with Fifth district affairs intimated that it had been made by one or more of the candidates for judge of the Fifth juulcial circuit, who desired to have the privilege of taking hand in the congressional fight If the out come of the judicial race was-not satis- factory.
 The Governor declined to grant the re- quest In discussing the matter he said the interested parties should properly ap- ply for a new Congressional primary lat CT than April Il. It was possible, he said. to have a campa'n for the primary a month in length.
 Dr. Goggins, the new candidate is a prominent physician of Tallapoosa coun- ty and Is very popular.
