Busy scenes Once More witnessed at
New bedford.
No industry In the world has been
surrounded with more romance than
the whaling industry. which. according
to reliable reports. shows some signs
Of revlving. Once more the gaunt
old whalers are bringing into New Bed

whalcbone and once more the vet
eran mariners whose daring exploits
have been recounted wherever the Eng.
lish language il read are encouraged
TO think that the good old days" have
begun to return.
Since 1900 New Bedford has been
the center OF the whaling industry.
There are no records Of the early days.
but II is II matter OF well established
tradition that before the Revolution
and during the beginning of the last
century n great many vessels sailed

worth noting. by the way. that. with
the exception OF Provincetown
schooner, all the Atlantic whalers are
more than twenty years old. In other
words. only one vessel has been built
for whaling In recent years at any
Atlantic shipyard.
What renews the hope Of New Bed
ford IL the fact that good catches have
been made lately The banks Josephine
and Morning Star unloaded nj one OF
the long wharfs the other day. the
latter alone discharging 1.250 barrels
Of sperm oil. besides large quantity
Of whalebone. and other whalers are
expected back In port before long.
Last year the returns amounted to
IL. 800 pounds Of bone. 1905 barrels
OF sperm oil and $3.50 barrels OF whale
Oil This year. 1t Is confidently be-
lieved. the returns will be still larger.
The scenes at the New Bedford

many sightseers, and TO none Is the

CALL Fob. $4,000.
New California Bill for 1905 Exhibit
Makes Total of $4,000.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 19.-Action
toward providing an appropriation to
insure creditable representation of
California at the Lewis and Clark in
ternational exposition at Portland this
year was taken today, when Assembly
man Bliss, of Alameda, introduced in
the lower house a bill appropriating
$70,000 in addition to the sum of $780, :
600 set aside by the last legislature for
the purpose. This makes a total of
500, 1000, and is deemed sufficient by
proper handling to make a first class
display, with what aid the various
counties will give by supplying ma
terial.
The bill passed by the last legislat-
ure names Governor Pardee as commits
sinoer to the exposition, and gives him
direction of the expenditure of the
$40, 200. The one presented by As
semblyman Bliss today makes no pro-
vision for commissioners. There is a
plan to amend the bill in committee, 80
that it will provide for two honorary
commissioners. 1t is not thought the
chief executive will have any trouble
in securing nonsalaried commissioners
to serve the state.

Great Strike at ST. Petersburg Is
Involving Thousands.
WORK ON WARSHIPS IS STOPPED
About So, 900 lronworkers and So.
600 Cotton Mill Operatives
May Join in Strike.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 20.-The strike
situation is becoming very grave. To-
night there are So, 900 men out on
strike, and the movement is spreading
to the big cotton mills, which employ
over so, 900 operatives. Meetings have
been called for tomorrow, at which So
cial Democratic leaders will use their
utmsot endeavors to convert the strike
into vast political demonstration,
which at the present crisis might have
most serious developments. The au-
thorities are adopting every precaution
to avoid an outbreak, but the Social
Democrats are squirting on the strikers,
and there is great danger of a collision
with the troops, which would be al
most, sure to be followed by red flag
demonstrations, accompanied by great
bloodshed. The community is full of
sensational rumors and rioting is gen.
orally expected.
In conjunction with the Epiphany
celebration, which will occur tomrrow,
the meetings of strikers will make the
day critical one for the police. Thus
far, however, the strike has preserved
purely economic aspect. The great
industrial quarter of st. Petersburg
presents the appearance Of an armed
camp. The idle factories are surround
ed by cordons of police and patrols of
infantry march about the snow-covered
plains.
The strikers are led by priest
named Gopon, who is idolized by = the
workmen and who represents them in
negotiations with the emplyers.
This is the first great strike in North
ern Russia. Hitherto the workmen
have been unorganized, and previous
strikes in st. Petersburg have not in
volved more than 10000 men. The
strike leaders claim to have funds
enough to hold out for a month, but
this is doubted, and the lack of money
and the privations of winter and per.
haps government interference are ex
pected to make the strike short an6
sharp.
The strikers, who at first declined al
, offer of financial support, are rel cortee
to have accepted a contribution from
, Moscow.

} on the war in the Far East, as every

DEATH MEETS PLEA.
Russian Soldiers Shoot the Workmen
Who Would Appeal to Gar.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 23.- Yesterday
was day of unspeakable horror in st.
The strikers of Saturday,
goaded to desperation by day OF vio-
lence, fury and bloodshed, are in a
state of open insurrection against the
government. A condition almost bor-
dering on civil war exists in the terror
stricken Russian capital.
The city is under martial law, with
Price Vasilchikoff as commader OF over
SO, 900 of the emperor's crack guards.
Troops bivouacked in the streets last
night and at various places on the
Nevsky Prospect, the main thorough
fare of the city. On the island OF
Vassili Ostroff and in the out sections
infuriated men have thrown up barri-
cades, which they are holding. The
empress dowager has hastily sought
safety at Tsarskoe-Selo, where Emperor
Nicholas II is living.
Minister of the Interior Sviatopolk-
Mirsky presented to his majesty Satur-
day night the invitation of the work
men to appear at the winter palace and
receive their petition, but the empe-
ror's advisers had taken decision to
show firm and resolute front, and the
emperor's answer to the 100, 200 work
men trying to make their way to the
palace square yesterday was solid
array of troops, who met them with
rife, bayonet and saber.
The priest, Gopon, the leader ano
idol of the men, in his golden vest
ments, holding aloft the cross ane
marching at the head of thousands o
workmen, through the Narva gate, mi
raculously escaped volley which laie
low half a hundred persons. The fig
ures of the total number killed O
wounded here, at the Moscow gate, a
the various bridges and islands, and a
the winter palace vary. The best esti
mate is 500, although there are exag
gerated figures placing the number a
high as 5000. Many men were &C
companied by their wives and children
and in the confusion, which left n
time for discrimination, the latte
shared the fate of the men.
The troops, with the exception OF
single regiment, which is reported t
hare thrown down its arms, rename
loyal and obeyed orders. But the bloc
which crimsoned the snow has fired th
brains and passions Of the strikers an
turned women, as we'll as men, int
wild beasts, and the cry of the infuria
ed populace is for vengeance. tt
sympathy of the middle classes is wit
the workmen.

tween the leaders of the senate and the

that the battleship Pallada and the

great, as there is no dock in Japan for
battleships.
The battleships Retvizan and Pobie-

TRAIN HELD UP.
Passengers on o. R. 8. N. Robbed in
City Limits of Portland.

City Limits of Portland.
Portland, Jan. 23.-While the "Spo-
kane Flyer" was rushing through the
darkness between East Portland station
and Thirty-fourth street, shortly before
Z o'clock Saturday night, four masked
bandits entered the rear door of the
Walla Walla sleeper, the last car of the
train, and at the point of a pistol COM
peleld the occupants to deliver their
valuables. The robbers then stopped
the train by pulling the air cord, sprang
off into the night and disappeared.
They fired several shots as the train
slowed down and thus frightened away
pursuit.
The robbers obtained draft for $3.50,
several watches and about $3.50 in cash.
As soon as the robbery became known
at police headquarters officers were no.
titled to be on the alert, and a posse of
policemen, detectives and railway Off
GERS left on an engine for the scene of
the robbery. Officers guarded the
bridges and the Vancouver ferry. The
posse spent the night looking for evil
dence at the scene of the robbery and
in searching throughout the neighbor-
ing country, but nothing was found.
Two men were arrested at The Dalles
when the train reached there. They
were found on the "blind baggage"
and answered a general description of
two of the hold7up men. Itis believed
that when the train slowed down they
jumped off and ran forward before the
train crew had time to get outside and
discover them.
