mo latest reports from Warsaw depict
~. sl,uation throughout Poland as in
.s..slnely serious. Minor collisions be-
,ween the troops and police and the
nooulace continue to swell the lumber
., dead Trade and industry are COM
nlstely at a standstll, and the presence
/, tbousands of idle workmen who have
Nsen out Of employment for months and
are starving and desperate adds fac
far NJ the greatest danger which is not
present to tho same extent in St Pc
trsburg, where the governments or
der for war purposes have kept the
factories busy
The American vice consul at Warsaw,
Withhold Fouchas, telegraphs that many
stores chiefly Russian, have been pill
mged BY Russians and that the shops
and factories without exception are
closed, A general strike Is In effect,
Those who are not willing TO walk out
are compelled 10 join the strike by
threats
Mr. Fouchas saw no improvement in
the situation up to last night, and re-
ported the receipt Of bad news from
Lodzu and Radon.
II IL estimated that the number Of
Killed or wounded at Warsaw Is about
100 which is a conservative estimate.
The riotng IN Poland viii largely af-
feet the economic situation. The fac
tories at Warsaw, Dod2, Petrokoff and
ther industrial centers IN Poland have
seen compelled 20 gradually reduce
their output and decrease their work
lGg force since the outbreak OF the
war, which has almost entirely closed
ire Siberian aud Manchurian markets.
The result has been that thousands of
workmen haze been thrown out OF em-
PIGMENT for many months, furnishing
9 horde Of hungry dissatisfied desper-
ale men among whom the news from
81 Petersburg produced an outburst
Of riotous and incendlary spirit 1t is
feared that large proportion Of these
thousands may be utilized by the reyo-
utonary organizations In Poland,
which Is the hot-bed Of Socialism and
The r,9yement may develop a purely
indication SO far OF any cooperation
on the part of the Intelligent classes
Of the Polish population which are
ayerse to revolutionary movement.
The Nashazhi2n, Liberal newspaper
Of st. Petersburg, which has received
second warning from Gov. Gen. Ire
Fof, in moderate tone raises the le-
gal point in connection with the FIR
Ing Of Jan. %, that the law requires
The police TO exhaust all means to pre-
serve order before calling on the troops
and the Nashazhzn intimates that this
was not done before the military began
firing
