ST. PETERSBURG, March g.
Workmen representing nine groups
met again today at the Peoples palace,
ratified the demands drawn up March
1st by the representatives of seven
groups, and decided to meet at the
same place at II o'clock tomorrow
morning and wait till noon for reply.
tee Is not forthcoming the delegates
will leave the hall, decline to elect
members to serve on the mixed COM
mittee of which M. SchidlevisN is
president, and proclaim a general
strike.
About 400 men were present at to-
days meeting. The proceedings were
more formal than yesterday. A num-
Der Of the speakers reviewed the situa-
ton, showing thorough familiarity
with strikes, revolutions and the his
tory of other countries. They de-
scribed the benefits of constitutions
and parliaments and declared that the
Russians would be content with moth
ing less than a representative govern
ment.
Saturated With Socialism
The speakers were stepped in Social
istic literature.
The meeting enthusiastically ap-
plauded accounts of victories gained
by the proletariat in other countries.
One speaker in particular delivered a
carefully prepared address. Standing
ing to his shoulders, wearing a loose
red shirt and high Russian boots, he
looked the picture of one of Maxim
Gorky's types. He said the proleta-
riat alone could achieve positive
results. The Liberals used the
masses to crush dynasties and then
turned on the masses. The Liberals
had done little for Russia. He ap-
pealed to the audience to stand to-
gether and demand a peoples parlia-
possible.
Shot Down Like Dogs
He added; I'VE went out into the
streets one day and were shot down
like dogs. We are on the eve of great
events, perhaps fearful drama. No
matter. We must be firm and steel
our hearts to fulfil the watchword-
fight"
The speech was greeted with tre-
mendous applause. Amid intense en-
thusiasm the assembly unanimously
adopted resolutions reaffirming the
resolutions of March 1 and after agree
ing on the hour for tomorrow's meet
ing dispersed at p. m.
The authorities are preparing to meet
a serious situation March 4. Many
residents are laying in stores of pro-
visions.

Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-03

While attempting to board a north
bound car of the Pacific Electric COM
pany at Willowbrook station about
o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. Ira
P. Smith, who is a visitor in Los An
geles, was struck by southbound car
and hurled under the wheels of the
car she was endeavoring to hail, which
was running on the other track.
The wheels of the heavy coach
ground her to death before the motor
man could stop his car.
Mrs. Smith was the wife of Ira p.
Smith, superintendent of the Pacific
Lumber company, with headquarters
at Scotia Humboldt county, Cal, and
came to Los Angeles about five weeks
ago, hoping to rid herself of heavy
cold which she had contracted. She
first stopped at the Melrose, where she
the new Glendale sanitarium, where
she also had friends. She was not an
invalid, but went to the sanitarium be-
cause she preferred it's location to lv-
ing in the city.
Some time ago she purchased lot In
the new Willowbrook subdivision
about ten miles from Los Angeles on
the Long Beach electric line, and yes
terday went out to see her property
and was starting for home when she
was killed.
Attempted to Cross
She approached the tracks from the
west and so had to pass over the west
track, on which the southbound cars
run, in order to reach the one on which
the cars coming to the city are
operated.
1t is said that Mrs Smith, instead OF
crossing the second track, which she
would have been forced to do in order
to board the car. attempted to flag II
from between the tracks. Southbound
car No. 6O1, in charge of Motorman
Hanover and Conductor Vasey, and
northbound car 602, in charge of Mo-
torman ODonnell and Conductor Todd
meet at Willowbrook station.
The tracks are laid through private
high rate of speed. Both motormen
saw a woman between the tracks and
as both cars rushed toward her she
seemed undecided whether to stay
where she was or move to one side.
1t was evident that she was waiting
for the northbound car, so Motorman
O'Donnell slowed down somewhat to
give the woman a chance to step. across
the east track, but he says she moved
one way and then the other. and finally
stepped back onto the west track just
as the southbound car reached the
spot.
The curving fender struck the woman
and hurled her body over twenty feet
and directly under the wheels of the
northbound car. The wheels Of the
heavy coach horribly mangled the body.
Mrs Smith was a handsome young
woman of perhaps 80 years of age.
Her husband was notified as soon as

In China and Japan many peculiar and
interesting ways are found of doing various
things. Their methods in agriculture, man.
ufaoturing and domestic lines are often

trouble that is taken with them are pro-
nounced stupid and not fit for use. In the
morning the trained birds are fed sparingly
with fish. and later ten or twelve are put
on board a small boat called the "cormo-
rant boat" A small hemp ring is tied
around their necks quite close to the body
to prevent their swallowing large fish.
Now they are as docile as dogs and pre-
sent a comical appearance perched on the
sides of the fishing boat, where they remain
until sent into the water by a peculiar
whistle of their master. They all dive in
at once and soon return with fish in their
strong beaks. :.
If one bird is seen struggling with a very
large fish others instantly assist him In
getting his quarry safely to the boat, where
the fisherman may reach II.
Disobedient birds have their legs tied to-
gether by a short string, making loop.
so when necessary they may be brought on
board by long bamboo hook.
After two hours work they are given a
rest on the boat. and at the end of the
day the hemp ring is removed and they are
fed by their master.
The feeding Is very ludicrous. Small fish
and bean curd is given them. The master
catches each bird by the upper mandible
and squeezes a piece of bean curd the size
of his fist into their throats. then he rubs
their necks down to help them master the
situation, which might prove an overdose
were they not assisted in this peculiar
fashion. After feeding they are Gagged for
the night.
A well-trained bird is worth from six to
seven dollars and after five years of serv-
ice they lose their feathers and die.

Trading Opened With Prices Weak
Americans Buoyant.

LONDON, June 3.-Trading on the stock
exchange this week opened with prices
weak. Then there was a squirt Of strength
and activity owing to the result OF the
naval engagement in the far east, the an
ticipation of which had long restricted

the new lease of the city gas works had
been consummated. The failure of this deal
caused heavy selling, eliminating in a de-
cline of nearly $40 a share yesterday and
today.
Other stocks which suffered were Phila-
delphfa Rapid Transit Company and Union
Traction Company, the companies which
own the street railway lines. The former
dropped to 26 today decline of G points
within week, and the latter to 5Slz as
against 62A last Saturday.
There We're especial declines in both stocks
today due probably to an announcement by
reform councilman that he will introduce
at the next meeting of councils an ordinance
calling for three-cent fares and the placing
of trolley wires underground.
Coupled with this announcement is the
declaration that Mayor Weaver favors such
legislation.
Another local utility company stock to
decline Is that of the Philadelphia Electric
Company. which sold at s. share today,
compared with s12 recently. This company
has monopoly of the electric lighting priv

of depriving it of it's valuable contracts
