THE czAR's TROUBLES.

The present internal trouble in
Russia, in connection with the war
with Japan, is causing the Car no
little trouble, and may be the cause
of bringing about much needed re-
form III His empire. The cry of
"Give us bread" has been raised
by the peasants. This cry comes
from millions of men ana w6YMen
who are unfriendly'to the govern
ment because of system of taxa
tion and oppression that denies the
laborer his daily bread.
The revolutionists have wisely
chosen the present time to make
their influence felt, and, if possible,
to have their demands granted.
They are demanding a REPRESENTA-
tive government, that the war with
Japan be closed, that they be given
religious freedom and freedom of
press and speech, reform iu Judiciary
and police, that nobility and rich
bear their share of the taxes, and
that the poor and working people
be protected by lazy. -
These demands are just and the
government that refuses to grant
them must sooner or later crumble
in the dust. The Gear, if LETT to
follow the dictates of his own con-
science, would probably grant these
reforms at once, but he is Influenced
by the nobility and rich who are
opposed to giving the poor any
1t is tie belief of the nobility
that to bestow privileges Oh the
peasant is to invite lawlessness and
disorder. The freeing Of the serfs
forty years ago is supposed to have
opened the way fpp the forming of
societies that were detrimental to
the government. The Nihilists,
who were responsible for the mur-
der of Alexander II. aud the cause
of much trouble in Russia, be-
longed to the most dangerous of
these societies.
Eighty per cent. Of the popula-
tion of Russia are peasants engaged
in agricultural pursuits. They are
hard workers, both the men and
the women work in the field. The
soil in most places is productive,
but work as they may the average
earnings of a peasant during q year
is only eight or nine cents a day.
The national debt of Russia IS
over three billions of dollars, the
annual interest of which is nearly
eighty millions. This, with the
vast expense of building govern
ment railroads and paying eighteen
million dollars per year to support
the "holy synod" makes the taxes
SO heavy on the poor that after pay
ing them they are unable to pro-
vide themselves with proper food.
The reyolutionists are at dis
advantage, being without firearms
or money with which to carry on a
rebellion. For this reason it may
be possible for the Cars troops to
quiet the uprising without the peo-
pie receiving any recognition or
any relief for their grievances.
But to bring about quietude by
force of arms without the nobility
and rich making any concessions,
is to invite disaster later on. The
government of Russia as it exists
today is rotten at the heart, and
like the oak of the forest, will some
day topple over before a storm Of
insurrection.

IN DEMORALIzEO CONDITION
RUSSIANS RETREATING TO THE
D. HILL COUNTRY NORTHEAST
T.. ..l,--,.,y,. , ...
= or MUKDEN. ~


Newchwang, March 11.-According
to reliable information received here
the Russians, having been driven out
of Mukden and Fushun, and, with the
railroad cut, are retreating in de-
moralized condition to the hill country
towards the northeast.
Detached bodies of Russians are
roughly entrenching with a view to
checking the pursuit, but no great rear
guard action is being fought.
It will be impossible for the Rus
SLAMS to keep up any sort of resist
ance for many days, as there are no
means Of provisioning in the rough
country through which they are re-
treating.
1t Is believed that the Russians may
attempt to reach Kirin, 225 miles
northeast Of Mukden, through the VAL
legs, but special Japanese corps
from the direction of the Yalu river
(probably General Kawamura's forces)
threatens to cut them off.
General kuroki Is advancing north
west and is forcing the Russians
against General Nogi's armies.
The casualties on both sides have
been enormous. The Russian Sixteenth
army corps was practically ami
hilated at Tatchekiao.

ATTORNEYS BEGIN ARGUMENT
Case Against Mrs. Chadwick Drawing
to Close.

Case Against Mrs. Chadwick Drawing
to a Close.
Cleveland, March 11.-When court
opened in the Chadwick case Judge
Tayler asked the counsel on both sides
to indicate the length of time they
would require for their arguments. He
had no desire. he said, to limit the
arguments in any way, but wished the
attorneys to reach an agreement Of
some kind.
After a conference between District
Attorney Sullivan and Attorney J. p.
Dawley, for the defense. it was agreed
that the arguments should be prac.
tically unlimited. Neither Mr.. Sulli
van nor Mr.. Dawley was able to say
just how much time would be required
but both were of the opinion that all
the arguments would consume more
than days time.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas
H. Garry made the opening argument
for the government. He confined him.
self chiefly to the law of the case,
claiming that an agreement to commit
an unlawful act was in itself con-
spiracy and that the agreement carried
with it the intent to violate the law.
Mr.. Garry spoke for about one and
one-half hours. He was followed by
Mr.. Dawley for the defense. The clos
Ing arguments will be delivered by
Judge Wing, for Mrs. Chadwick, and
District Attorney Sullivan, for the gov
eminent. ...r..

VERDICT OF POISONING.
coroners Jury Finds Mrs. Stanford
Died Unnatural Death.

OleO OedIN.
Honolulu, March 1.-THE coroner's
jury has returned verdict that Mrs.
Stanford died an unnatural death. The
verdict says that death was due to
strychnine poisoning, the poison hav-
ing been introduced into a bottle of
bicarbonate of soda with felonious in
tent by some person or persons to the
jury unknown.
The end of the inquest, with a posi-
tive verdict of murder, leaves the pee
lice of Honolulu as much without a
clew as when Mrs. Stanford died.
High Sheriff Henry said after the in
quest that it was his opinion that the
strychnine was placed in the soda in
San Francisco by a member of Mrs.
Stanford's household. At the inquest
DIR. Shorey testified that the strych.
nine used, as shown by tests, was
strychnine such as is not used gener-
ally for medicinal purposes but used
principally for poisoning animals. This
statement is regarded as of possible
assistance in tracing the purchase of
the strychnine.
The jury returned their verdict after
about two minutes deliberation.

DURING GOOD SERVICE
PRESENT FEDERAL OFFICEHOLD-
Frs TO &c RETAINED By
NEW ADMINISTRATION.
POLICY TO BE GENERAL IRE.
sPECTlvE OF THE NUMBER
OF YEARS SERVED.

Washington, March ia general
policy as to federal appointments was
determined ruon by the president and
his cabinet at their semi-weekly meet
ing. At the conclusion of the meeting
1t was announced that, for the present
at least, the uniform policy would be
to retain incumbents in Office during
satisfactory service. This policy will
hold, it was stated further, entirely
irrespective of the length of service
of the incumbent. The policy an
nounced is to apply generally to all
departments of the government
It is in precise line to the deter
mination reached and announced some
time ago regarding postmasters. That
announcement stated that the case of
each postmaster would be determined
on it's merits and it would make no
difference whether the incumbent had
served one or two more terms.
In line with the general policy of
civil appointments Secretary Taft said
1t also had been determined not to ap-
point as brigadier generals on the
active list of the army officers who
had served forty years, including serv-
ice in the Civil war. These officers
are eligible now to retirement as brig
adler generals and it is not the pur-
pose of the administration to make
them brigadier generals on the active
list. The secretary said there were ap-
proximately forty such officers, all of
whom would be permitted to retire as
brigadier generals or to continue to
serve in their present grade at their
option. The adoption of this policy
will open the way for the appointment
as brigadier generals of many younger
officers than heretofore have held that
grade.

the correspondent of the Associated

that the major portion of the armies Of

were cut off said hethought that, con
