IN A STATE
OF SEIGE.
Russian Cities Are under
Military Rule.
WARSAWA STORM CENTRE
Strikers in an Ugly Mood and the
Authorities Are Looking for
More Trouble.
WARSAWA STORM CENTRE

81. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3l.-A dis
patch from Warsaw says that by order
of the governor general the govern
ments of Warsaw, LODI and Petrokoff
have been placed under the operation
OF the law for the strict maintenance
of public order.
The government buildings and large
factories are guarded by troops. Part
of the electric light plant has been de-
stroyed by strikers.
Interest has been transferred entirely
from st. Petersburg and Moscow to
Warsaw, LODI and Libau, where
state of siege has been proclaimed.
Warsaw is the chief center of interest
on account Of the rioting there on Sun
day and Sunday night, in which at
least 100 persons were killed or wound
ed. The strike continues undated, and
business is paralyzed, but there was
better order during the day. In War
saw, however the crisis is by no means
passed, and there is great apprehension
here with regard to what the night
may bring forth, especially since the
lighting system has been tempered
with by strikers The Warsaw demon
strators evidently are in an ugly mood.
The public reprimand administered to
Deputy Chief of Police Roudneff Of
Moscow on account of the posting Of
ri oil tat In ho -
has been delivered. and in government
circles ii is thought to be severe enough
to satisfy British opinion. Ii is thought
that this step, together with circulating
the reprimand in provincial administra-
tons, will prevent further attacks or
insinuations against foreigners and will
remove the incident from the realms of
diplomacy.
Reports from Warsaw this morning
say that the street railway service has
been partly resumed, with soldiers rid
ing before and behind most Of the cars.
Few cabs are running Street fighting
continues, and the mob is growing In
dangerous fashion. There have been
frequent collisions between the people
and soldiers. RevOlutionists attacked
the troops with revolvers and knives
| The principal disturbances have oc-
CURED in Noviswiat street, leading

infantry marched to that thoroughfars
from Smolna street, when somebody
fired on them, whereupon the troops
were ordered to form a square and fire
from four sides.
| Any criticism of the troops must bt
qualified by the fact that they were
fighting under trying conditions, being
| constantly exposed to snipers and occa
sionally stabbed by passersby. Gener
ally the troops are well behaved, but
sometimes there are excesses by indi
vidual soldiers who have become intox
icated. One such soldier killed two
children before his comrades were abb,
to disarm him.
There have been many sad cases o.
wholly innocent people shot accidental
ly as they turned street corners. There
are rumors that hundreds have beer
killed in fighting in the suburbs. bur
there has been comparatively small
death roll reported.
Fighting was renewed this morning
people firing from their houses on thu
troops in Noviswiat street.
All the alcohol monopoly shops hav'
been plundered, and most Of them hav'
been burned.

More Beer Consumed.

There is a falling off in the con-
sumption of spirituous liquors and an
increase in the consumption of malt
liquors. according TO the commissioner
of internal revenue, whose figures
show that in the fiscal year ended with
June. 1859 900 barrels were consum-
ed, 1.25l 900 barrels more than in the
year preceding. The quantity of dis
titled spirits consumed in the same
period shows a falling off compared
with the preceding twelve-month of
1O4 900 gallons, or a consumption of
1l6, $4,000 gallons. Saloonkeepers tes-
tify to the growing favor of beer as
beverage and the declining favor of
whisky. The reasons for the change
are varied; some insist that ii is be-
cause there is more general apprecia-
ton now than ever before of the dan
ger lurking in whisky; others contend
that the taste of the public is chang
ing and that beer is consumed because
it rarely intoxicates. because it is
light and relishable and because the
brewers are striving to turn out
product that shall contain a minimum
percentum of alcohol and yet satisfy
PUBIC uelndnuS. DOuDtleSS one 1dctOf
of considerable Importance is the cru
SADIE of large employers of labor
against strong drink. Railroads and
other corporations make as d condi-
ton of employment that heir men
shall refrain from the use Of liquor
Some of them embrace beer within the
prohibition. but the fact seems gener-
ally agreed in that the man who
drinks beer alone will not get drunk
and may be relied upon, but not. of
course in the measure of the man who
takes no chance on deadening his fac
ulties and abstains altogether from in
toxicating beverages of every kind.
The rate of intoXication in this coun-
try is much less than abroad. and par
ticularly in England. English travel
ers marvel at nothing more than the
temperate indulgence of the American
working classes in Intoxicating drinks.

Lincoln's Birth Place.

The little. unproductive farm of 10
acres, three miles from Hodgensville
Ky, where Abraham Lincoln was born
in 1909. was sold the other day for
$S2.72 an acre, a total consideration of
$500. 1t seems strange. says the
Springfield Register. that such little
value was placed upon the farm
marking the birthplace of Lincoln.

Printers Strike.

The strike of the Chicago job print
ers for the eight hour day promises
to be one of the most Stubbornly con-
tested in the history of organized la
Dor for the reason that the union is
backed by an enormous fund and has
not been given to fitful strikes and is
one of the conservative unions that
does not argue by the use of clubs or
brass knuckles. Unless the Typo
graphical union departs from all its
traditions the strike will be conducted
ON the most intelligent plane of any
agitation of recent years. Whether it
wins or not is quite another question,
but if it loses il is safe TO say that it
will not be lost in the beginning
through the alienation of public re-
spect by the use of violence.

Dietary Aid In the Treatment of

sell. discoverer of the remedy. in the
treatment of cases in the New York
Post Graduate hospital. In the first
six months of the present year more
cures were effected under the new
treatment than in the five years pre-
ceding under the old method DR.. Rus
sell knows that symptoms of the dis
ease were no longer present in IL pa
tients after they had been fed for some
weeks with the juice of every form of
vegetable grown in the gardens of the
country. He is not himself satisfied
that he has discovered a specific and
merely points TO the experiments as
indicating the advantage of the diet.
Five years must elapse, he says. be-
fore it may be definitely determined
whether the treatment is a success or
failure. DR. RusseIrs treatment en-
braces n systematic overlooking of the
patient. To do this and yet avoid sick
ening the patient. he administers ca
thartics freely and is careful in the
selection of foods. The ideal diet sup
plementing the vegetable juice is. in
his opinion. bread and butter and milk
This food alone will not accomplish
improvement in the patients condition
and the raw juices supply the I'M

The juice contains no anti-toxin, the
theory of the treatment being entirely
different from toxic treatments, over
feeding being the principle underly-
ing it.
