REVOLT In RUSSIA.
WARSAW AND LODI UNDER RULE
OF "RED TERROR"
Bloody Riots in the Streets Of Two
Cities-Ten Regiments of Troops Bat
tie with Sixty Thousand Strikers
Many Women and Children Shot.

Russia again seems at the beginning
OF a revolution. Poland is afame with
excitement and the workingmen in ali
South Russia are in a ferment. The
Cars government is in as great dan
ger at home as is his army in Man
churia. The Jews and the Gentle
peasants are making common cause
against the government. The story of
the Lodz massacre is filed with de-
tails of unspeakable cruelty manifest
ed by the Cossacks. Old anu young,
men, women and children were shot
down like dogs.
The present trouble began Tuesday
after the funeral of the victims of the
conflict between troops and t]errorists
the previous Sunday. The Christians
were permitted to bury their dead, but
the Jews were prohibited from doing
so, and the police secretly inferred the
bodies of the Jews at night, which eX-
cited Indignation and terrorists' riots
were initiated Thursday.
The most serious phase of the riot
ing developed when the crowd deliD-
erately pillaged liquor shops, and num-
bers of persons, inflamed by drink. led
q crowd of at least 10000 TO further
and more serious attacks. Police and
military were attacked wherever they
appeared in small force and many In
dividual members were killed. Much
of this disorder took place on I'iOtro-
kow street, One of the principal thor
oughfares Of the city.
After ~pillaging the liquor shops the
lcrowd set fire to them and prevented
the firemen from eXtinguishing the
flames. This was repeated deliberately
at many places. The fury OF the mob
was given full vent, and even children,
caught by the cOntagion, We're seen
kissing red flags and heard swearing
that they were ready to die for liberty.
A Jewish girl mounted a box in the
market square and addressed an i'm
mense crowd. Suddenly the police APP
peared, fired a volley, and the girl fell
dead.

JAPAN REFUSES ARMiSTICE.
Informs Roosevelt that P~1eniDoten-
tiaries Must Meet First.

Japan has informed the United States
that she will not agree to an armistice
with Russia until the peace plenipoten-
tiaries have met and found each others
credentials entirely satisfactory. She
would be willing to do so if a guarantee
of some kind could be given her that
Russia will negotiate a peace in good
faith. The Presidents efforts to stop
the fighting in Manchuria have thus met
with a temporary check.
So far as can be ascertained Russia
has not asked for an armistice, and will
not do so. She is in the same receptive
mood she was when the President
preached the idea of peace. 1t is Japan
this time which is not welcoming the
suggestion of an armistice. Marshal
Oyama has a force greatly superior to
that of Gen. Linevitch. A tremendous
victory will insure better terms for his
country. Moreover, if hostilities should
be stopped the Russians might continue
to strengthen Gen. Linevitcb, At pres
ent he has only sufficient re-enforcements
to make up for the wastage due to death
in battle or from disease.
Japan's position has the sympathy OK
officers of the army and nav in Wash
ington. It's justice is also conceded by
the administration. There is nc way By
which she can be brought to adopt q
different attitude. Germany and France
have made polite representations at To-
kio in behalf of peace. Neither has gone.
or dares to go, as far as the United
States. Great Britain has asserted posi-
lively that she will not bring pressure
to bear upon her ally.

1t is estimated that ia New York City
there are 100000 respectable English

Mrs. Roosevelt's summer home in Al
bemarle county, Virginia, was a part of
the beautiful Springfield farm owned by
w. y. Wilmer of New York. The
Springfield farm consists of about 800
acres altogether, but Mrs. Roosevelt's
purchase comprises only fifteen acres and
a small house. This dwelling, by Mrs.
Roosevelt's order, has had a rock chin
ney added to it and a porch has been
built around the dwelling. All the par
titions on the lower floor have been re-
moved, making one large room. Mrs.
Roosevelt bought the property so that
when she wishes a week or so of rest she
can go to the little retreat among the
Virginia mountains.

The fighting spirit of the people is
