Bayonet Are Only Remedies.
st. Petersburg, April 24-News from
Poland paints a picture of verltable
terror before the expected storm. A
letter received here reads: you know
what happened at Warsaw, but you
only know a part of what is occurring
thruout the country. All Polands is in
a great confiagration of socialism, ter
ror of which is everywhere existing.
We expect at Easter a general mass
acre of Russian government officials
and the wealthy, and the blowing up
of Vistula bridge to prevent the arrival
of troops from Russia.
1.-THE police are doing nothing and
they pretend to be blind and deaf as to
what is passing around them. The
existing regime is causing discomfort,
which is on the increase among the
idle workmen who have been driven
from factories and railroads because
they are Poles. They say they VIII
have vengeance
A letter from Wilma says: Work
is impossible, under the existing con-
ditions. The governments endless
commissions have accomplished noth-
ing with the landlords and workmen,
and the peasants are convinced that
open revolt and the bayonet are the
only remedies"
Commenting on the above Russ de-
clares that the government must act
promptly if the awful carnage is to b.
avoided. ''The only thing to be done,'
is says, '.is to summon the moderates
to give guarantees that promised re-
forms will be realized"

Raleigh which some days ago sailed
from Labuan, Boornoe, for the Cuyos
islands in the Philippines has arrived
at Cavite. 1t is assumed here the Raj

enter Philippine waters in the vicinity
of Cuyos island and was sent there for
a cruise for the purpose of observa-

from Shanghai for Cruisex. 1t is be-

over to "the cause of liberty" The
military authorities, however declare
that there is no question Of the loyal
ty of the troops. They admit, how
ever, that the revolutionists have
pushed their propaganda among the
soldiers with great earnestness.
Independent investigation by the As
sociated Press seems to bear out the
official claim except as to Caucasus,
where according to private advices
just received the troops are on the
verge of mutiny and ready to join the
revolutionaries. These advices, repre-
sent that the situation borders on an
archy, with the revolutionaries in
practical control.

the gates that register the admissions.
Mr.. Simpson says the buildings on the
grounds have been pretty well clean
ed away except the biz; buildings and
the Alps mountains which are still
standing.
If satisfactory arrangements can be
made the ladies' relay race will be
one of the chief attractions Of the fair
this year. The attraction has been a
big one at western fairs and it is un-
derstood will be at the Minnesota fair
this year. Six women ride horses in
three day race, running six miles
each day. They change horses every
half mile and it is claimed that the
race gets very exciting at the close.
Some innovations are to be introduced
in the races this year and the races
made more attractive. There are a
number of $1,000 purses to be given
away. The Commercial Club purse,
the East Des Moines purse, the West
Des Moines purse, and the Merchants
purse are all purses toward which the
business interests of Des Moines have
contributed and all are $1,000 purses

today sat in court and listened to Ass

peoples case as given by Rand today
was practically a repetition of those
