ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. p, , a.
m.-All members of the imperial fam
lily, who attended the requiem for
Grand Duke Sergius at Tsarkoe Selo,
remained to the family council this
evening. The dowager empress who
has been at Tsarkoe Selo since that
eventful "red Sunday" of January
Odd, is becoming impatient at the re-
straints which were advised by the
police for her safety and rebelled
against the alleged necessity of re-
manning at Tsarkoe Selo, declaring
that she is not afraid, that the sands
of her life are almost run out and that
if assassins want her life they may
have it. The imperial family implor-
ed her rot to return to st. Petersburg
and she finally yielded.
WARSAW, Feb. 23.-The situation
here is causing the greatest anxiety in
all circles. The assistant of the gov
ernor general, who was interviewed
today, frankly admitted that the gov
eminent is at loss to know what to
do. Alarming reports are current con-
corning the intentions and plans of
the revolutionary party and March
4th, is awaited with much apprehen-
sion.
The strike agitation is spreading in
every direction and bank clerks, jour.
nalists, office servants, printers, driv
ers, stationary engineers, mechanics
are all threatening to strike. The
Vienna railroad is still at a complete
stand still and we stern Poland is com
pletely cut off from all communion
ton with middle and western Europe,
except by telegraph. No mails are ar
irving or leaving and the city is
threatened with a coal famine. The
governor general has offered to supply
military men to work the trains, but
this is impracticable as the strikers
have destroyed all the switches. Many
through passengers are detained here
and much perishable freight is utterly
spoiled.

was today held to the grand jury with
out bail. The coroner's jury which |

arsenic poisoning and 1t was the ex-
pressed belief of the jury that Hoch
the poison.

board station outside of the city and |
have cut the telegraph wires.
SHENKING, MaGchuria, via Muk-
len, Feb. Pat is reported here that |
he japanese are closing in on the /
Russian east flank. AS a result of |
his movement it is possible that there
will be general engagement, or at !
east a counter movement by the Rus /
3ians along some part of the japanese
inc, especially if, as it is thought the
Japanese have returned to their oIigi-
lal tactics of making their fankiDg
from th5 mountains. For
he past three weeks the Russians
nave suffered no material distur bances
With the exception of comparatively
damage to the railroads
md to bridges near Kuanchia Pass, as
| result of japanese raids aided, it is
alleged, by Chinese bandits.
Reports from Vladivostock of activi-
J and of the anticipation of an at
ack on that place by the japanese
re confirmed, but the town continues
is accustomed gaiety. Supplies there
ire plentiful but prices are high.
