Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star


HYATTSvILLE, January "a 1905
At a special meeting of this common coun-
Gil held here last evening, with Mayor
Wells presiding. a reward of $50 was Of
fered for the detection and conviction Of
the party or parties who poisoned several
dogs in the northwest section of the town
several evenings since. The motion was Of
fered by Councilman Owens, who made a
strong plea for its passage.
Mayor Wells contended that but s13 had
been collected on account of dog taxes, and
he believed the giving Of such a reward
would be unjust to those taxpayers who did
not own dog. He deplored the fact that
any person would be so contemplate as to
throw poison around, but he did not believe
the council was justified In passing the
order.
Mr.. w. D. Porter, jr., suggested that the
owners or dogs would stand responsible for
one-half of the reward. and Mayor Wells
said under the circumstances he would vote
1or the resolution. Councilman Maloney of
the hrst ward voted against the resolution.
On motion of Councilman Devlin a reso-
luton was offered and unanimously passed
urging the senators and representatives in
Congress from Maryland to use their ut
most endeavors to have the terminus of
the electric railway contemplated under the
cross-town electric railway franchise now
before Congress extended from Mount Oil
vet cemetery to the District of Columbia
line near Col. Wright Riyes' property.
Inc authorities Of Bladensburg met last
evening and passed a similar resolution.
ana the citizens Of Berwyn will take SINH
lar action this evening.

No Worse Than Brooklyn Trolley
Strike.

Nicholas Borison. prominent New York
Russian, noted for his fealty to the cars
government. declared: .s,s ..-. -
THE situation is a very grave one. but
1t Is not revolution. There has been riot
ing by fanatical workingmen. melted by a
priest, but when the anti-Russians here
shout at today's news and say that Russia
is plunged in rebellion they are overstating
the situation decidedly.
Loyal Russians in New York feel that
the action Of the troops in firing was per-
fectly justified. When there was q trolley
strike in Brooklyn few years ago the
troops fred on the people, and they were
only destroying property In st. Petersburg
the mob was capturing the cars officers
as they passed peacefully through the
streets and threatening them with death.
If the mob did not get enough the first
time. there will be another scene like the
first The more the soldiers kill the more
they will want to. 1t is so everywhere.
The strikers will get all the punishment
that they want. They cannot accomplish
anything against the troops"

aisle toward me. stopping here and there
to bend over some sufferer with medicine or
a CHEEKY word. He wore a short white
jacket, and was without cap, his head

Not a Real Revolution.

Vice President Vanderlip of the National
City Bank of New York said:
II doubt If this is revolution. The mob
was hardly a mob. People were unarmed:
they held up defenseless hands and were
shot down.
IF there should be revolt in the army; IL
the advice of some of the agitators should
be taken, and soldiers should turn their
weapons on their officers. then 1t might be
time to anticipate a revolutionary move
ment of real importance. But until there
Is more evidence than has been offered al
ready the probability must remain strong
that the Russian government will go on as
1t has for a long while. The tone of the
workingmen's manifesto is, to my mind.
one of the interesting features Of the incl
dent. 1t indicates a loss of the supersti-
tious respect that has always surrounded
the car. If there is a breaking down OF
the superstitious awe which the church has
built around the august person Of the car.
then this may be the first step toE,ard a

COMMENT OF THINKERS
DIR. HILLS OF BROOKLYN TAKES
RUSSIA TO TASK.

Russia has neglected the lesson of free
dom eloquently taught by history de-
clared the Rev. Newell Dwight Hills of
Plymouth Church. Brooklyn, in a sermon
before his old congregation of Central
Church, preached in the Auditorium.
"A new statement of our lesson is to be
found. he said, I'm connection with that
great empire of Europe which now Is dis
turbed with the preliminary tremblings of
a social earthquake. Three hundred years
ago the conditions which prevail in Russia
today could be found in England.
Later, in France, a noble. when the
moor people Of Paris asked for bread, said,
Set them eat grass and the next day they
butchered him in the streets.
To-day we find in Russia nation where
the lives Of the lower classes are filled with
misery and sQualor.
E. I'm the warm, rich atmosphere of the
twentieth century these conditions exist.
One part of society arrayed against the
lower classes Is saying, We will be blind
to the teachings Of history and is ignor-
ing the inevitable consequences which fol-
les. little handful Of men own all the
land possess all the titles. hold all the
privileges. This is q country Of which II

She is one Of the noted opponents of the
radical faction which has been fighting for
larger liberty and she says the day Of

mo one here knows what has taken place
In Russia in the last quarter of a CEN
tury," she said. Despite oppression, the
people have been quietly educated about
their rights, until one fine day the Ameri-
can people are astonished to wake up and
find that all classes in Russia have risen
in protest against their conditions. To
those who have kept track of the move
ment however, this Is no revelation; they
knew that the people were ready.
This movement is spreading to every
city and village in Russia. We are the
eve of revelation. The Russian people
do not want to prosecute any one. 1t Is
the Russian government which persecutes,
and it is useless for the car to refuse the
requests of his people. Such action on his
part shows nearsightedness. and it Is a
critical moment, for now the people are
making themselves heard at the gates Of
the winter palace.

Predicts Polish Revolt.

That Russian Poland will take advantage
of the present troubles that beset the car

prediction of prominent Poles In Philadel-
phia. Active leaders of the colony there
assert that fund of more than $4,000
gathered in America. is now secreted in
Switzerland, ready to aid the revolutionists.
'In few weeks the plains of Warsaw
will be as red with blood as the streets of
the Russian capital are today" said one
of the Polish leaders.
There are ten military organizations In

No More Serious Than Colorado Strike.
vladi,iir F. Gnesin. agent OF the great
Ja-oslav mills. In New York. said that the
events of Sunday in st. Petersburg had
been no more serious than the riots in
Colorado last year.
''This is not revolution said he. RUS
STA has 400 towns and cities. Just because
workingmen in st. Petersburg have riot,
Moscow does not want 1t, Odessa does not
want it. Warsaw does not want it. In San

The people who are asking for a con-
stitution do not know what constitution
means. and yet they ask that the mon
archical government, which has been in ex-
tstence q Thousand years. shall be over

country does not want It.

said Emma Goldman to a New York re-
porter. AFTER such a revolt as we have
had the cars power Will necessarily be
weakened
This rebellion has been ripenng for
years. If the report Is true that thousands
Of revolutionists have been slaughtered on
the streets. then the revolt Is more than
one of many uprisings which will eventual
ly bring on the great inevitable revolution,
but is the revolution itself for which the
Russians have long been suffering.
THE greatest thing to help the cause of
the revolution Is the combination Of peas
ants and students that occurred five years
ago. 1t may be that the Poles, the Arme-
mans and Firms will all join hands with
the revolutionists. In such an occurrence
the outcome will be the very best and Rus
sia will become republic.

NO PROTEST
FROM JAPAN
France Claims There is no
Confirmation Of the Report
of Such
NEUTRALITY VIOLATION
Rojestvensky is Three Miles Outside
OF Shore Line, Which is Open Sea,
by French Law.

j Paris, April 20.-No confirmation
has been obtained yet of the report
that Japan has formally protested
against the stay of the Russian squad
ron in the waters of Indo-China as be
ing breach of neutrality. Following
is the guarded semi-official statement
1 issued: Nothing is known in the
highest French diplomatic circles con-
cerning the protest which according to
certain foreign reports has been form
ally addressed by Japan to the French
| government relative to the violation of
French neutrality by the Russian
squadron. furthermore, this squadron
has been outside of the French waters
for several days past" In view of to-
days press dispatches, saying that the
Russian squadron was at Kamranh
Bay the last part of the semi-official
statement appears to indicate that Ad
miral Rojestvensky has withdrawn out
shore line of the bay, which, according
to the French law, constitutes the op-
en- sea.
Irritation in Russia.
st. Petersburg, April 20.-It Is
claimed here that Admiral Rojestven-
sky has not overstepped the French
rules of neutrality at Kamranh Bay,
the coaling and provisioning of his
ships occurring outside the territorial
| waters. Russia has not been advised
that Japan has lodged a complaint in
Paris. The charges of Russia's viola
tion of neutrality coupled with a re-
vival of the story that Russia intends
to send her Black Sea fleet through
the Dardanelles, and the report that
the British Mediterranean fleet has
been sent to the Aegean sea to head
off the Russian fleet, cause extreme ir.
ritation.
Takes All Steps to Insure Neutrality.
Saigon, French Cochin China, April
2O.-Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet is
still in Kamranh Bay. French Admi-
raj Jon Quieres has taken every step
to insure neutrality.
