OF the industrial classes. 1T was plan
ned TO have all the workmen in ST. Pc
tersburg, headed by their leader, the
priest Gopon, in full gorgeous canonieal
garb, march to the palace and assemble
in the great parade ground in front of
the palace and there present the peti-
tion to his majesty. The deputatiOrl,
however, will be refused admission to
Tsarskoe Selo. The government believes
this will render a meeting on Sunday
impossible.
The employers at the same time, aft
er conferences with the ministry of
finance, which was the first to recognize
the gravity of the situation, determined
TO offer concessions in wages and other
conditions in labor to individual em-
ployes, but declared that it was impossi-
BILE to grant an eight hour day without
general legislation affecting competitors
and price regulations for piece work.
Compliance with the employees demands
for payment of wages during the strike
was held to be out of the question, and
the employers declined also to permit
of dictation of terms by other than
their own employees. They express the
belief that most of their employees were
desirous of accepting the concessions
and returning to work if they could be
assured of safety from personal injury.
The priest George Gopon is an inter-
esting personality. He is idolized by
the workmen, who, since the beginning
of the strike have furnished him with a
bodyguard. He has been accompanied
everywhere by a score of lzvoschiks,
and has not been sleeping at his own
home for a week for fear of the very
contingency of arrest by the police,
which is reported to have happened to-
night. AS a peasant swineherd, when
a boy. he showed such capacity for
learning that he was sent to the Polta-
va Ecclesiastical seminary to be edu-
Gated as monk. His leaning towards
politics led to his exclusion from the
seminary, and this exclusion prompted
a desire to get close to the people and
share their lot. He was determined to
., become az priest in distinction from a
monk, and overcane many obstacles,
finally being graduated from the st.
Petersburg ecclesiastical academy He
then took up work among the laborlng
classes, whose leader he speedily be-
came. He shows an evident genius for
organization. Father Gopon is believed
to be the heart and soul Of the whole
movement.
: Up to an early hour this Saturday
no disturbance has been reported, There
are heavy guards at the water works
and lighting plants. and in the factory
district. Patrols of cavalry are con-
stantly in motion throughout the city.

Pekin, Jan. 20.-rA high official of the
Chinese foreign office said in an inter-
view this afternoon that the neutrality
of China was assured now as hitherto.
Every precaution had been taken, and
he could only suppose that the present
Russian complaints were intended to
constitute a pretext for further de-
mands, as compensation for the loss Of
Port Arthur. The official emphatically
denied that there was any connection
between Chinese. neutrality and anti
foreign feeling. instancing the prompt
suppression Of the disturbances at
Shanghai In connection with the delay
in bringing to trial the Russian sailors
who killed a Chinaman there as the re-
suit of a dispute about the hire of a

MOST POPULAR NUMBERS.
Seven and Thirteen Are Fixed Upon in the Minds of the Greater
 Number of Men.

"Ask a man to pick out some num- Der between one and ten, and you can tell him nine times out of ten what number he has selected. though his se- lection is made mentally" said man who, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, is fond of the old things, "and when you come to think of it, the task of naming the correct number is not a difficult one. In the course of an hour the other day asked ten men to think of a certain number-any number between one and ten-and I would tell them what num- Der they had fixed their mind on. In nine cases out of ten I was correct, missing 1t only once. The minds Of nine of the persons selected the nun. Der seven, and one of them selected nine. It is not difficult to understand why the mind should run to the num- Der seven. Even in the case of the man who fixed his mind on the num- Der nine. he told me when 1t was all over that his mind had first run to seven. but he quickly changed to nine without knowing just why it was that he changed. Seven is the. most prom inent figure between one and ten. It is the most popular number in the line, and is associated with more things than any other number. and it is quite reasonable that the mind should light on seven. made another test the other day with five persons, asking each of them to write some number between one and ten, and give it to sixth per- son. When the slips had been handed to the sixth man I said: Seven is the number on each of the slips
 "'Correct," said the man to whom they had been handed. and the five men were bit bewildered for the moment by the fact that they had all hit upon the same number, and that was able to tell what the number was. It would be quite as easy to name a number between 10 and 20, though have made no tests along this line. dare say that 13 would be the first number to flash in the mind, simply because it is the most talked of, and the only number between 10 and 20 that has the widest association. So you can tell there is no trick about it, and it doesn't require any knowledge of the occult philosophies."
