THEY. ARE WAITING.
Santa Fe Machinists Still at
Work.

The Santa Fe machinists in Topeka
are still at work and according to the
latest reports nothing has been received
from Washington where the executive
committee of the International ASSocia-
tion of Machinists is celebrating on the
question of a strike on the lines of the
Santa Fe It is expected that the local
members of the order will abide by the
decision of this committee and nothing
wilt be done until they have been noti-
fed of the committees decision.
Present conditions among the machin-
lists employed along the lines of the
Santa Fe however, indicate that
strike is highly probable Reports re-
ceived here today say that more men
at San Bernardino and other Santa F'e
shop centers in California and the west
are handing in their designations. The
underlying motive for this action on
the part of the men is apparent They
know that if the usual custom prevails
the Santa F'e viii blacklist the strikers
in case any trouble should occur, and,
in order to escape this, they are giving
up their positions at this time when
strike seems to be inevitable. The Off
ciaIs however, do not appreciate this
action on the part of the men

RUSSIAN EASTER.
Three Day Celebration Begins
Throughout the Empire.

st. Petersburg, April General rain
throughout Russia marked the inaug-
uration of the Easter holidays, an
augury, according to the popular leg
all government work was suspended as
customary. The annunciation of the
Virgin was signalizeds by various ira
ditional observanc were set
free, bon fires were built, holy bread
was placed in the bins for luck and
the village girls unplatted their hair.
With the exception of the soldiers
and sailors in the far east, every orth-
Odox Russian today began three days
fast. AS a military measure to guard
possible surprises by the enemy while
the enperor's legions are debilited by
absinance from food. special dispen-
satiOns have been granted to the men,
relieving them of their religious duties
of fastening and confessing.
In all the churches of the empire to-
day solemn scenes-the last supper,
the washing of feet, the betrayal, the
judgment and the sentence were i'm
pressively re-enacted-
In the Russian capital, the greatest
interest centered in the ceremony at
st. Isaac's cathedral, where the rites
and ceremonialS were conducted on a
scale of great magnifcence, the Metro
politan of st. Petersburg, who wore
upon his head a nitre .abiaze with dia-
n1onds, inpersonatins7 the Saviour and
the chief bishops and IeacOuS or the
province, representing the disciples.
From early morning the vast cathedral
was thronged with the deVout and un-
numbered thousands surrounding the
building were unable to gain admit
tance- Among the congregation were
many women dressed in spotless white,
who had come to take the communion
Most of those inside the cathedral re-
mained there all day at their devo-
tions, swaying and crossing themselves
and at intervals as the service pro-
ceeded, prostrating their bodies and
touching the floor with their foreheads.
All the foreign diplomats, including
United States Ambassador McCormick
were present
The emperor and the imperial family
attended a similar service in the
church of the winter palace, later taxi
ing the sacrament with the dowager
empress at the Anitchkoff palace.

There was no ignoble trait or passion
that was not ascribed to him and por-
trayed of him in the political cartoons
and writings of that day. A less strong
man would have despaired and been de-
stroyed by it, but he never showed the
SllgnteSt concern on such account
Conscious of his power and the ulti-
mate vindicatiOn of his purpose. he disre-
garded them all and went steadily for
ward upon the lines of duty as he saw 1t. y
He grew not alone with the years, but
even with the days. Soon the whole coun-
try came to understand that he was one
of the really great men of his day and
opinion swung quickly in the opposite di-
rectiOn. misconceptions failed and mis-
represe entations ceased; praise succeeded
to criticism and favor, followed until he
enjoyed at the hands of the American
people almost rare and exceptional es-
TEEN and admiration
In short, although he had deficiencies
and probably disappointed expectations in
some respects, he filled great place
among the great men Of his time and died

MORE PAVING PETITIONS.
Several Have Been Filed With the
City Clerk.

More grief for Mayor Bergundthal
arrived at the city clerks Office We'd
nesday. A petition was filed asking
for the pavement of West Twelfth
street from Tyler to Fillmore, a dis
tance of four blocks. with brick pave
ment 35 feet wide, and Colorado red
sandstone curbing. This pavement
will be a very cheap proposition for
the taxpayers who live on the street,
because the street car company will
have to pay for paving Is feet of it,
leaving only 81 feet for the people on
each side of the street to pay for.
But the pavement viii cost the city
Il good DEAL as there are two inter
sections to be paved. The Street Car
company win probably lend its intiu-
ence to defeat the pavement, as they
have just finished relaying their track
with new ties, ballast and rails
The West Twelfth street petition is
very likely to be turned down by the
council, and if the petitioners find that
they can't get their pavement this year
they viii ask the council to grant 1t
for next wear.
