BOUGHT SHIPS
From Hamburg-Ameriean Line For
Russian Government.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 27.-The an
nouncement was made Sunday by Of
ficials of the Russian east Asiatic
Steamship Co. that that firm had
made all the purchases of German
ships, from the Hamburg-American
and other companies, which in re-
cent dispatches were attributed to the
Russian government. The official add
ed that his company, and the Ham
burg.American line were about to en-
ter into busines scontract which may
lead to an interchange of certain yes.
sells and to a division of certain
branches of their traffic.
This statement does not in any way
contradict the recent dispatches to
the effect that the Hamburg-American
liners Phoenicia, Belgravia and Pal
alta had been bought by Russia. 1t
is known that the Russian East Asiat-
ic Co. has been Russia's agent in all
it's purchases of sAIps and there Is
no doubt that If the three liners have
really been bought by the Russian
company the transfer was made only
in order to enable the Russian govern
ment to avail itself of these vessels
without itself figuring in the deal

NO IMPROVEMENT
IN ST. PETERSBURG
THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION
CONTINUES DANGEROUS.
Silence Of the Fifty Thousand strlk'
ers in the Cars Capital Con-
sidered ominous.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 27-Little or
no Improvement can be reported rel
ative to the industrial situation in
Russia and particularly in st. Peters
burg.
The total absence of demonstrations
on the part of the workmen is con-
sidered far more dangerous develop
ment than would be a recurrence of
the recent riots. Fifty thousand work.
men are on strike in the capital city
and not a single disturbance occurred
during the last "a hours. Even those
who are anxious to make It appear
that the situation is vastly improved
admit that this quiet is ominous and
symptomatic of a sullen and deep
seated determination on the part of
the strikers to carry their point even
though starvation stares them in the
face There is also every reason to
believe that so soon as the strike
leaders have succeeded in revlving
the general strike, or at least one
which would tie up the majority of
the large factories, a concerted ef-
fort will be made to bring the manu-
facturers and government to terms.
What shape this effort will take is,
of course, merely a matter of con-
lecture at the present time.
The fact that only small number
of arrests have been made within
the past "a hours indicates that the
workmen are successfully deceiving
the authorities regarding their meet
ing places. There can be no doubt
that frequest meetings and confer
ences of the strikers take place and
II is an open secret that the police
have instructions to break up all
such gatherings and imprison their
participants. The probabilities are
that the men are changing their head.
quarters with every meeting, in this
way outwitting the secret police.

Stuttgart, Feb PA lecture was

government commissioners at the st.

which he said that the American
method of teaching drawing in the
public schools was far superior to the

one criticism to make that there was
too great variety OF subjects in the
American schools and that according.
ly thoroughness in any line seemed
ont of the question in the case of all
pupils who are not especially gifted.

CIGARETTE SELLING SYSTEM.
How Each Customer Is Automatically
Supplied With Favorite Blend.

Writing of the application of sys-
tenn to large businesses, Atherton
Brownell says in Worlds Work: Sys.
TENS have been devised, by which,
with the aid Of single clerk, a more
minute and accurate record can be
kept of great business house than
could be kept by a large force OF
accountants. A good example of
perfect system is the one used by a
firm of cigarette makers who have a
private trade, for they make their
goods to order for individual custom
ers. The characteristic feature of their
business is that they mix the tobac.
co to suit each individual customers
taste. They must have direct com.
munication with their patrons, and
these patrons buy as few as 500 Gig
arettes at time. To get their trade
is easy; to hold 1t is more dificult
On their files, they carry a memoran-
dun of the tastes of perhaps 1000
smokers and the formula of the mix
ture which suits everyone best, to-
gether with design of his crest or
monogram, which he desires stamped
in his wrappers. Every customers
daily consumption Is noted and by the
automatic operation of their system,
his name comes 10 the front a week
before he may be reasonably expected
to have exhausted his last order. So
nicely has this system been adjusted,
that recently, during a spell Of ex.
tremely humid weather, when orders
could not be filled, every customer
found his wants supplied. during this
period of waiting, from stock kept
on hand for the purpose.

of the leases in March 1906. The
strong influence being eXerted against
the secretary and the president TO
have these leases cancelled in response
to the antitrust clamor of the people
of the middle west and southwest, can
be judged from the following telegram
Representative Campbell has received
from wealthy men of Chanute, Kansas.

the following offer for the Usage oil
lease and will extend all bona fide
sub-leases now made on quarter sec
tions which have constitutional de-
