Frank Sherrie, who was condemned
to be hanged yesterday morning for
the murder of Mrs. Ludwica Kulas
at Somersville, was granted reprieve
late Monday afternoon by Gov. Rob-
erts until Jan. 8, 1906, at the request
of the Russian consul general in New
York. The consul general had only
become interested in Sherrie's case a
few days ago. and had made the re-
quest, hoping that some new evidence
could;be obtained which would justify
the granting of new trial, and plead
ed for time in which to find it.
Governor Roberts granted the request
as an act of courtesy to Russia. The
reprieve was unexpected, and all the
preparations had been completed for
the execution at $50 yesterday morn
ing. 1t is understood that no new
evidence in favor of the condemned
man has been obtained, and sherrie
will probably be executed on January
9th, next.

Pupils Expelled at Warsaw.

Warsaw, Feb. 1.-Two hundred ana
eighty pupils were expelled yesterday
from the Warsaw gymnasium, with
the additional punishment that they
will never be permitted to enter any
government school within the empire.
This action of the authorities is in
tendded as punishment for boys who
dared to petition the directors for the
introduction of the Polish language
into the schools. AS result OF the
punishment the boys lost the privilege
of performing military service as one
year volunteers and viii be forced to
serve three or four years in the ranks.
The latest reports from Lodz show
that that town is quiet. The military
continue to patrol the streets.

Warning Generals.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 4, LAO p. NJ
Interest in the ill-starred attempt to
capture Sandepas is eclipsed by the
withdrawal of General Grippenberg
and unconfirmed reports regarding the
re. ;rement of General kuropatlzin.
According to the latest information
received by the war office, operations
on the right flank of the Russian army
are at standstill. The extreme right
of the Russians continues to held Chi
antsanenan, on the Hun river, six
miles northeast of Sandepas Appar
emily both sides are unable % move,
owing to the terrible weather. There
are 25 degrees of frost, accompanies
b." W.nd, put in view of he sudden
fluctuations in temperature at tnts
time of the year, the frost may sud
denly decrease and the Russians would
then be confronted with the alterna-
tive of withdrawing in order to avoid
being intercepted by a Japanese col
umn from Shilikhe or of undertaking
a general advance.
The latter view finds some confirma.
ton in a dispatch to the Associated
Press from Tsinkhetchen, reporting a
reconnaissance by General Rennen-
kampff's force on the Russian left,
which perhaps is preliminary to an ad-
vance
The military authorities here are en-
couraged by the report as showing
that the Russians are able to repeat
the plan of reaching the enemy's line
of communication.

Rio ! orpedo Factory Closed.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 5.-Lessener
torpedo factory in this city, employing
900 expert filters and brass workers,
has been closed by Governor General
Trepoff, who ordered the dismissal or
the whole staff of the concern Tor
tearing down posters of the emperor's
recent speech to the Workmen's dele
CATION, and because the manager was
unable to replace these men. The
works are strongly guarded by police,
The admiralty and the war office
have requested Governor General IRE
poff to allow the workmen to be re-em-
ployed, and it is hoped the factory Will
reopen on Monday. The men claim
they tore down the posters because
the deputation which waited on the
emperor did not include their repre-
sentatives.
A certain amount of agitation con-
tinues here. Printers in several estab-
lishments have struck again because
the employers refused to pay them for
the week they were idle.

Commander of Second Army Accused
BY Commander-in-Chief With
Violating Orders.

Mukden, Feb. 5.-Though there is a
momentary pause in the operations,
Russian activity on the Shakhe river
has not ended. Two hundred Japan
ese prisoners were brought in yester-
day. These we're badly dressed and
suffering from cold. The Japanese re-
port that 500 Russians were taken
prisoners during the Sandepas opera
tions is untrue and the Japanese losses
greatly exceed the Toxic estimates OF
the Russian losses, because, in their
advance over the frozen ground, it
was impossible for the Japanese to en-
trench.
The report that General Kuropatkin
received orders from st. Petersburg to
advance on account of the internal
conditions in Russia is also untrue.
The fighting was inaugurated indie
pendently and the operations could
have assumed important dimensions
only in case of the success of their
primary object, the capture of Sande-
pas.

ST. ePtersburg, Feb. 5.-A meeting
of manufacturers has been decided
upon to petition Minister of Finance
kokosoff to consider the workmen's
demands in consultation with repre-
sentatives of the employers and en-
pIoyes. All the Russian manufacture
ers have further decided to discuss
the minor grievances with the men
and have also resolved not to impose
fines or penalties or discriminate
against the strikers and to raise a
fund. The manufacturers finally re-
solved that the agitation among the
workmen was not labor, but ma
tional movement and that therefore
they are not justified in the payment
of wages during the strike, but that III
view of the distress among the work
men, the latter will be given relief.

Port Arthur Surrender Discussed BY
StoeSSeII,

Colombo, Ceylon, Feb. 5.-General
Port Arthur, and the Russian officers
and others accompanying him arrived
here yesterday from aJpan by way OF
Shanghai, on board the French line
steamer Australian.
In an interview with the correspond
ent of the Associated Press the gen,
eral denied the statements published
to the effect that Port Arthur was
surrendered prematurely., He was es-
pecially indignant at the statement
made by newspaper that there were
at the time of the surrender 25,0O0
able-bodied men in Port Arthur, capa-
BILE of making sortie, hundreds OF
officers, all we'll nourished, plenty OF
ammunition, and that there was ample
supply of food for three months, even
if no fresh supply was received. He
characterized these statements as un-
justifiable and not supported by facts.
Colonel Reiss, who was among the
negotiators of the surrender of the for.
tress, said: "The garrison could not
nave held out a moment longer. 1t
would have been murder. Only Is ru-
bles remained in the military stores.
Men were dying daily at the hospitals,
principally from wounds and scurvy.
General Kondratenko was the hero OF
the seige."
Colonel Reiss further declared that
the Japanese were admirable soldiers,
but poor in the use of the bayonet
compared with the Russians and
French

Decision of Ministers.

special commissions of zemstvo and
douma delegates to consider the pro
posed reforms in the public institu-
tions. The Russ declares this will be
the first time the elective principle
will have been applied in Russia IN
connection with legislation, and halls
the step as happy omen.
