TOday's Telegraphic News
Conditions in Russia.

st. Petersburg, April 26.-It IS re-
ported that the Zemsky Sobre will be
definitely summed in June. The Gar
seems determined on this. The Minis
ter Of the Interior has issued secret
orders that all letters from abroad shall
be opened. Several letters to your cor
respondent have been opened in this
way. One Of these letters was from
a Sister Of Charity in Mukden. 1t
states that as soon as General Line
witch took command of the army in
Manchuria he dismissed all the tele-
graph employees. An investigation proved
that twenty-seven out of fifty operators
were in communication with the Japa-
nese. Several of the operators were
hanged by General Lineyitch's orders.
Berlin, April ga threatened up
rising of the peasants in Penza province
of Russia is reported here. 1t is esti-
mated that 5000 armed laborers have
taken part 10 the demonstrations. The
largest cities of the district and several
estates were looted. Similar tactics
were employed in the neighborhood Of
Narovchat, a town of about 5000 inhabi-
tarts. Estates were raided and a num-
Der of landlords were either killed or NAL
treated. Their servants we're likewise
abused by the rioiers. The newspapers
have been forbidden to mention the out
breaks.
ST. Petersburg, April 26. -Demonstra-
tons on the part of the reservists who
have been ordered to Manchuria occur
| red today in various centers where the
troops are being entrained. Yesterday
the reservists created a great deal o.
trouble. In one instance the soldiers
were so disorderly that a lieutenant sho'
to death a disobedient soldier. In.anothel
case the soldiers pillaged the liquor stores
and smashed the windows in the trains
which we're TO take them TO the front.
Their disorders seem to have excited re-
s%ervists all oyer the country, and the de-
monstratiOns which have been reported
today are regarded as the outgrowth OF
the trouble yesterday.
Berlin, April ga dispatch from
st. Petersburg says that a meeting OF l.
600 women held there it was resolved,
amidst the greatest enthusiasm, to support
the revolutionary movement. The women
pledged themselves to collect money fol
the a and propagate sedition. They
also determined to obtain arms and tt
fight alongside of the workmen in the
troubles which, it is predicted, will Occur

Turks Defeated.

The situation in Turkish Arabia has
become critical. 1t transpires that only
a thousand of the Turkish troops sent to
the reliefof Ria Pasha reached Sanaa,
| and these fled thither after sustaining a
| defeat Mt the hands of the insurgents.
Ria Pasha's troops, 5000 strong, en-
counted the Arabs in great force five
miles south of Sanaa March 80, and
after a sharp encounter most of the
troops, consisting of Syrian reserves,
laid down their arms or deserted, the
remnant of the Turks managing to reach
Sanaa the same evening with only 80
camel loads of supplies. The chief-of-
staf, Izzat Pasha, was killed and seven
guns were abandoned and taken pos
session of BY The Arabs, who also cap
tured 200 camels ladan with provisions
and large quantities of rifles and am
munition. The investment Of Sanaa by
the insurgents is being frightened. The
Syrian reinforcements which recently ar
rived in Arabia are unsatisfactory, and
the Ottoman officials are anxiOusly
awaiting the arrival of European bat
%talions, upon whom the fate of the capital
of Yemen province depends.
Official in London %conversant with the
situation in Yemen province regard the
situation there as being in the nature of
q life or death struggle for the Sultan of
Turkey. They point out that the war
like Arabs of Yemen, who have never
done more than impatiently tolerated
the Turkish yoke, have now grown tired
o~fpayipg taxes three or four times over
and have reyolyed. Should the rising in
Yemen succeed it is bound to spread
north to Hejez, and if the Sultan's au-
thority is wiped out in that holy land o
Mohammedanism he will lose all claims
to the title of protector, ofthe holy places
which is regarded as the main factor in
holding his empire together.

A PROSPECTIVE deficit of $50, 900, 600
in the eyenue receipts by the close OF
the fiscal year has upset all the calcu-
lations of the congressional leaders res
pecting revenue legislation at the next
session of Congress, and makes it almost
imperative that something be done to
provide the government with more
money. The demand for a revision OF
the tariff is growing stronger, and the
opponents of that policy are searching
for some other legislative suggestion
which may promise increased receipts.
Plans are already under way for a gen.
eral conference Of House and Senate
leaders as soon as Senator Aldrich re.
turns from Europe. 1t is the intention
that a programme shall be outlined,
prior 10 the assembling Of Congress,
which the leaders can adhere to, and
which, they hope, may be forced without
touching tariff schedules.

Another Mysterious Murder.

New York, April 26.-The lifeless
body of Marie Ducci vas found early
this morning i'll her apartment at
"a Spring street, with a handkerchief
stuffed down her throat. The body was
discovered by her s year-old daughter,
ROsina. According to the story, told by
the girl, her mother was visited last
night by a man named Destosto and his
friend. The friends name the girl does
not know.
During the course of the evening,
much drink was INDUCED in, and about
8 O'Clock the girl was put to bed, in an
adjoining room, after being beaten by
the mother because she asked TO be
permitted to go out and play. Early
this morning the girl awoke and upon
going into the room where her mother
entertained her friends, found her lying
on the floor with the handkerchief down
her throat. Her dress was disarranged
and the waist torn open. This leads to
the belief that the woman was strangled
for the express purpose of robbing her
of her savings, which it was generally
known were hidden on her person. A
bureau drawer in the room wa8 also
riled. The woman wal about As years
old. She was married, but for the past
three years had not teen living with
her husband. The police are now look
ing for Destosto and his companion.

MIR. Swanson and the Books.

Congressman G. A. Swanson has is
sued the following statement relative to
his position on the school-book question
To the democratic voters of Virginia:
| have received many inquiries asking
me to state my position upon the school
book question should | be elected gov
ernor of Virginia and thus become a
member of the State board of education,
which has control of this matter.
/ desire to state TO the voters OF Vir-
ginia that my experience, both as pupil
and as a teacher in the public schools
of the State, has convinced me that as
an original proposition the single list is
preferable. The adoption OF such a list
gives uniformity in the textbooks
throughout the State, and hence when
pupils 60 from one district to another,
or from one county or city to another,
they are not forced to the necessity of
purchasing new books, but can always
use those in their possession.
Again, the single list will result in
saving to the people of Virginia a vast
sam of money in the purchase of books,
rs it is conceded that DO Oks under the
single list can be fur nished much
cheaper.
These considerations speak strongly in
behalf a single list. But a sudden
adoption of a single list under conditions
now existing in Virginia would discon-
tinue the use of a large number of books
at present used and paid for by the
people. | do not favor sudden and radi-
cal changes Of books, with the incon-
venience, losses and annoyances incl
dent thereto.
would favor, rs a member of the
State board of education, reaching a
single list as soon as it can be done with
out entailing such loss, inconvenience
and annoyance.
/ desire, further, to say that if |
should be elected governor and become
a member of the State board of educa-
ton, | would assume its duties absolutely
free and..untrammeled, and with no pur.
pose except to get the people of Virginia
the best books at the best prices OBJ
tain able, and / would not consent to
make a contract with any publisher tor
furnishing books who would not agree to
provide the people of Virginia as good
books, both in a literary and mechanical
sense, and as cheaply as are furnished
TO any other State in the Union.

THE CONSIDERABLE and steadily in
creasing deficit in the federal treasury
seems destined to force serious conside-a-
ton of the problem of increasing reVe-
nues on the administration at an early
day. Administration officials do not
hesitate to express their concern at tue
growing treasury deficit. The excess ol
expenditures over receipts forthe present
fiscal year has already reached the sum
of $50. 900, 900. At this time last year
there was an excess OF receipts over ex-
penditures of over 81, 900, 900. To re-
coup the treasury many republican
leaders want to increase the internal
revenue and tariff taxes and a tax on
such necessaries as coffee, which would
fall heavily on the poorer people Of the
country. Still extravagant expenditures
are being made in all the government
departments and money by the hundreds
of thousands of dollars is literally being
wasted. Practical men when they find
hat their expenditures are exceeding
their receipts cast around to see where
savings can be made, but this is not so
with republican government officials;
expenditures must be kept to the top
notch so that the high tariff tax may be
retained.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL %, 1906
An rur dinner given BY the industrial

AT THEdinner given by the industrial
economic department of the National
civic Federation in New York last night
Mr.. Samuel Gompers, President OF the
American Federation ofLabor, is report
ed to have said:
ORGANIZATION is the workman's protec-
lion. The United States Supreme Court
has declared the bakers ten-hour law I'M
constitutional. | don't know what any
one else may think, but as far as am
concerned when the test shall come, and
there is no other way to preyent 1t, Will
urge an appeal TO these bakers to strike,
and strike hard, to enforce the ten-hour
dav for themselves. No n believes
that the conditions as they are today are
perfect. A better day is coming. 1t is
a question whether it shall come as in
bloody revolutionary Russia or by the
pIain modest American method OF OBJ
tanning it in the trades-uniOn movement.
This is significant language and much
to be deplored. Mr.. Gompers makes the
bold statement that he will urge a strike
and a movement against the decision OF
the highest court in the land-a tribunal
which ends all controversy when cOnsti-
t%utional questions are involved aud to
which Congress and the President of the
United States bow. 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that the great mass Of working men
of the country have any desire to initiate
Russian methods by %fomenting q revolu-
ton and Mr.. Gompers may be merely
showing his own teeth because the SUI
preme Court has failed to render a de-
cision in conformity to his ideas.
