REVOLUTION FEARED
DlSCONTENT In RUSSIA Is RIFE,
IMPERIAL GUARDS DOUBTED.
Streets of ST. PETERSBURG Filled With
TrooPs-Imperial Family Shut Up at
Peterhof-Strike in Government
Port Office-Safety of Foreign Resi-
dents Is Being Guarded.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 90.-While Sun
day passed quietly and without blood
shed in the Russian capital and while
the city is outwardly calm, the days
developments all indicate that crisis
is imminent. Although the streets are
filled with troops and reinforcements
are now pouring in from Finland, the
government seems utterly powerless
10 cope with the situation and many
calm observers seem seriously to be-
lieve that the present regime is tot
tering to its foundation.
Differences have developed between
Count White and General Trepoff, and
while the precious moments pass the
emperor, surrounded by the imperial
family, remains smut up at Peterhof,
seemingly still hesitating as to what
course to pursue.
Grave doubts are expressed as to
whether even the imperial guard can
now be relied upon. Discomfort is
rife. Early in the morning the 18th
and 18th equipages of sailors of the
prisoners in barracks on the Moska
canal, demolished the windows and
furniture, and in the afternoon a de-
tachment consisting of four officials
of the guard went to the lawyers as
sembly and told the barristers that
many of the officers and a large part
of the troops were disguised with the
government and were ready to enlist
in the movement for freedom. They
asked for aid toward effecting organi-
cation. and said they had discussed
among themselves the question of re-
signing, but decided to show that per-
sons in uniform could help 20 achieve
liberty.
Even the Cossacks patrols in keep
ing order in the streets seemed care
full not to use their whips, and simply
drove the crowds along before their
horses.
Demands by Strikers.
A meeting of the municipal council
was held at which a deputation of 80
members of the strikers committee
appeared. In an imprisoned speech
the leader of the deputation presented
the following demands of the workmen
and affiliated organizations:
First, constitutional personal lib
erty.
Second, that ,ne government fur
nish food to the workmen.
Third, that the city refuse further
supplies to the troops and the police.
Fourth, that the troops be removed
from the water works or otherwise the
strikers would cut the water supply.
Fifth. the immunity of the deputa-
ton from arrest"
The council granted this last de-
mand and promised to reply to the
other demands soon.

Court in Revolt Against Gar.

The correspondent of the London
Daily Chronicle at st. Petersburg
sends the following:
The court is in revolt against the
emperor, who is vacillating between
the counsels of his ministers to grant
constitution, with Count White as
premier, and the advice of the re-
dictionaries to proclaim a dictatorship
under General Count Aylexis Ignatieff
a member of the council of the empire
One of the most ominous factors in
the situation is the feeling among the
Firms. There are only 1000 troops in
Finland, the 5000 reservists sent there
having been brought back because
they developed revolutionary leanings.
Should the Firms revolt, the govern
ment could not reinforce the garri-
sons, because every soldier is wanted
here, and the navy is unreliable.

trains are on time things run smooth
iy. But when the regular trains get
behind time and the quantity of
freight being moved necessitates extra
trains, only the cool BRAN of the dis
patcher prevents wrecks.
In the dispatcher's Office there are
three dispatchers and chief dispatch.
er. Each dispatcher does an eight.
hour trick" and is responsible for all
trains while he is on duty. The dis
patcher keeps before him train sheet
on which he marks the positions of all
trains. From this data he makes his
orders for the running of trains.
The orders of the dispatcher are
transmitted to the operators at the
different stations who in turn give
them to the train crews. The operat-
ors work y hours, day and a nigh
shift. AT some Of the stations there il
only one operator and he must an
swer calls at any time of the day and
night
Orders for meeting point are sent
to all trains concerned at the same
time. AS soon as the operators begin
to get their orders they turn the sig
mails in front of the station red
Three, five, seven, or other number of
copies are made by carbon of the or
der as the dispatcher sends it. The
operator then repeats the order to the
disp patcher. The dispatcher signifies
its correctness. When the train ar
rives the conductor signs the order for
himself and engineer. He takes two
copies of it, keeping one himself and
turning the other over to the engineer.
When the conductor has signed the
operator telegraphs the fact and the
time. Besides this work the operator
m ust telegraph to the dispatcher the
exact time at which trains pass his
station. One slip on the part of the
operator may easily cost scores of
lives.
For this work the operators are paid
from $5S to 500 a month, and because
of a refusal to grant a raise in wages,
are out on strike. In addition to
their telegrahic work the operators in
the smaller stations must sell tickets,
wrestle with baggage, do Western I'm
ion work, be express agent and do
OF her sundry and diverse things. 1t is
mainly these operators who are on a
strike.

THERE'LL BE A PICNIC
NEXT SUNDAY
RAILWAY EXCURSION TO DARBY
UNDER AUSPICES OF LADY
MACCABEES.

There's to be an excursion to Darby
and return next Sunday-the res ular
Bitter Root 'fyer," transformed into
a special, will make the round trip,
leaving Hamilton promptly at $50 a.
m. and returning at p. m.
The excursion will be given under
the auspices of Hamilton Lodge, No.
10, L. o. T. M. The object is purely
pleasure. In its inception the idea
of the Lady Maccabees was to charter
the logging train and take their hus
bands and friends for little ride up
the river to some pleasant grove and
have a fish try and old fashioned pic
mic. 1t developed that to secure the
train a guarantee of $3o must be
placed with the railway company
and the guarantee was placed last
evening without a murmur. Then
these ladies, always unselfsh, agreed
among themselves that they would
not monopolize all the pleasure but
would permit anybody to go along
who wished.
AS tor themselves and their friends
they will have "a little outing in a
grove somewhere near Como.
AS for the rest, they may join them
or distribute themselves in clumps or
punches anywhere along the railway
line that winds up to Darby throug h
sw eet-scented meadows, groves of
balsam and past fsh-crowded pools
along the beautiful Bitter Root river
They may go fshin'; hold gospel
service or enjoy themselves as they
will-for it's nobody's business but
their own.
This is not the first time the Lady
Maccabees of Hamilton have done
things for our people. Countless acts
of sweet charity stand to their credit.
1t was they who initiated the move
ment that resulted in recovering from
the commons-the stamping ground
of stock-Rivery1ew cemetery. These
ladies, God bless them, also demon

THE TELEGRAPHERS
STILL STRIKING
BOTH RAILWAY OFFICIALS AND
OPERATORS CLAIM THE
WINNING HAND.

The first week of the strike ended
yesterday with the situation practical
ly unchanged. Both sides claim that
they will win. Local business men,
particularly the shippers of fruits,
etc, complain of suffering consider
able inconvenience and loss because
they can't get their product to market.
G. F. Kelly, operator at Hamilton and
Rocky Mountain division, has esta b.
lished headquarters at Missoula and
expresses complete confidence of ulti-
mate victory.
Until the recent telegraphers' strike
came up few people had any idea as to
the duties of railroad operator.
They knew in hazy way that he had
something to do with the running of
, trains. That he is a very important cog
IN the machinery that keeps railroad
moving, the vagaries of the trains run
without his assistance testify.
All trains. when a railroad is in a
normal condition, are run by telegraph
ic orders. The dispatcher's office on
each division controls the destines of
all trains within it's division Trains
are divided into first, second, third
class and extras. Passenger trains
are first class, fast freights and COM
binaton passenger trains are second
class, local freights and third class.
Trains of the first class have right
of way over trains of the second and
third classes. Trains running east are
given even mum bers, while those going
west are given odd numbers. Trains
going east have precedence over trains
of the same class going west.
Extra trains are designated by the
numbers of their engines and have no
rights except those given them by or
ders from the dlspatChers. A time
card, which is furnished all employees,
sets forth the running time of regular
trains and their meeting points. When

IRRIGATION MATTERS.

Engineer Fellows Tells Of Work Being
Done II This State and Montana.
State Engineer Fellows returned
Yesterday from q visit to several Of
the United States reclamation pro
tects and TO the limited States irri-
cation Offices at Denver and Billings.
At these points he met Mr.. H. N.
Savage and Mr.. G. F. Fitch and others
Of the leading engineers Of the re-
c,amation service and discussed with
them the needs and plans of North
Dakota along irrigation lines. The
Huntley project, below Billings, In par
ticllar was visited and carefully gone
over. The conditions there being, to
some extent, similar to those in this
state. There seems to be every pros
pect of the successful irrigation Of
about 10000 acres under this project.
On December 9Th bids were opened at
Billings for the construction Of a, y1d-
version dam across the Yellowstone
river at a point about twenty miles
below Glenddve where the head Of the
lower Yellowstone project is located.
About 10000 acres of the land to be
irrigated by this project lies in the
state of North Dakota. The construc-
tion of this canal system is being
rapidly mplishehd by the contrart-
ors.
Plans and estimates for the Buford-
Trenton, WdEiston and Nesson prof
ects are well under way and it seems
probable that these projects may be
undertaken at am early date by the
secretary of the interior. On the
whole Mr.. Fellows expresses himself
as we'll pleased with the outlook in
general, except in connection with the
Bismarck project, where he believes
the engineers feel that too little in
terest is displayed by those who would
be benefited. Plans and estimates
for this project are being prepared,
however, and will be submitted to the
secretary, probably in the spring.
Mr.. Fellows expects to visit Wash.
ington, D. c., soon, where he will in
terview the secretary of the Interior,
as we'll as the senators and repre-
sentatives, relative to the North Da-
kota situation. ss' >, .,s$
