RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
Incidents of Note Happening in Both
 Countries.

St Petersburg, Oct. 5-Despite the grant of autonomy, placing the ad- ministration and policy of the uni versailles in the hands of elected rec tors and councils of professors who are thoroughly in sympathy with the reform work, the educational situation is darkening and there is prospect that the hot headed zeal of student reformers and the activity of non- student agitators at students meet ings may lead to another suspension of work at the universities. Prince 1iroubotskoy, former president of the Zemstyo congress and rector of the Moscow university and who is the foremost liberal in Russia, has with the approval of the council of profess sors already been forced to close that university temporarily owing to the packing of student assemblies by out side agitators and the council of the St Petersburg university has warned the students that the participation of outsiders in their meetings cannot be permitted. The same state of affairs is reported at Odessa and other uni versailles. The majority of the stu- dents are apparently desirous of con- tinuing their studies but they are not organized and cannot make head against the carefully organized cam paign of the revolutionary parties. who use the reopening of the univer- sities for the furtherance of their propaganda and whose members in the universities though forming a comparatively small proportion of the students are able through the activity of their organization and the natural dislike of the less radical students to be accused of reactionaryism to die tate resolutions and sway all meet ings.
 The St Petersburg students have in stituted q boycott of several profes- sors who are disliked on account of their political opinions and have broken up their classes by disorder. Among those boycotted Is the former rector, Professor Zhdanoff, and Pro- lessor Eosnitsky, who is a senator of the empire and one of the foremost authorities on Russian penal proceed ure.

They found a ladder i'll the back yard and, climbing up the Are escapes, aw0ke the tenants by breaking into their apartments. At the top floor the fire had spread most rapidly.
 The two rescuers were compelled 10 carry Mrs Joseph Hanlein, one Of the tenants of that floor, down the hre escapes. In doing so the ladder at the bottom broke and the woman fell on Teaz. iniuring him severely.
 Nf,.c TapopniOh nnnnpIlT WlO accupied the other part of the upper floor, were found lying unconscious on the floor of their rooms Where they had vainly tried to reach window They were brought out, but the nfe- men did not know that their three children were asleep in their beds un- iii their burned bodies were found later. Other occupants of the build ing were swung from the windows across to those of an adjoining build- ing. or were dropped into the arms, of men below, and when the fire depart ment arrived the building was atire from top to bottom.
 Mrs Rose Moses was carried on q mattress across the street, where she gave birth to boy.
 Fireman Christopher Leavy was knocked from ladder by stream of water and suffered concussion of the brain.
