The position taken by the Franklin

Constant firing last night was almost
like the noise of a battle. No less than
500 shots were fired into Zeigler from
ambush. The shots came from every
direction, but were aimed too high to
do any damage.

John Conroy, president of the Chi

''There is no need of soldiers at Zeig-

Postofice Blown Up.

Because of objection to the negro post
master of Humphreys, in Arkansas
county, Ark, who, tits said, was appoint
ed against the protests Ola great majority
Of the white citizens, the postoffice is
said TO have been dynamited and de-
strOyed. The postmaster before the
present one was negro named Toms.
While he was in Office dissatisfaction was
generally expressed. Toms was convict
ed of robbing the registered mails and was
sentenced to serve q term in the peniten-
tiary. When the present postmaster was
appointed dissatisfaction was again
voiced. The postmaster was not in the
building when it was blown up. So
powerful was the explosion that a deep
hole now marks the site of the building.
1t is said that little mail was in the Office
at the time of the explosion. Noarrests
have been made and the police say they
have no clue to the dynamiters.
The Postoffice Department has been
officially notified that the postofiice at
Humphreys, Ark, has been blown up
and the st. Louis division of postoflice
inspectors has been notified to make an
investigation Immediately. The advices
to the department give no details of the
affair, which press reports attribute to
the dissatisfaction with the negro post
master and his predecessor, also negro.

On the Verge OF a Revolution.

Berlin, March 1.-The Taeglische
Rundschau reports that Russia is on the
verge of revolution. Local outbreaks
have occurred among students and urban
workers and peasants. NJ. De Plehve,
Minister of the Interior, says the paper,
regards the peasantry as in a most
dangerous condition. Starving rustics,
continues the Ruudschau, maddened by
the excessive use of vodka, or Russian
rye whisky, are plundering estates, burn
ing outlying homesteads and murder
ing land owners in all directions. Owing
to this revolutionary danger the govern
ment has proclaimed minor state of
siege, and mild form Of martial law in
SO of the II provinces in European
Russia.
