St Petersburg, Feb 27-Evidence is
Increasing that the strikes throughout
the empire. and especially those in
St Petersburg. are not economic in
their origin, but inspired by a definite
political plan The government and
employers are harrassed by the tao
tics of the workmen, whose discon-
tent Is being fed and who are increas-
ing their demands with each new con-
cession.
This condition is believed to have
been fomented by crafty political agi-
tators. who are stirring up the men
and at the same time holding them in
leash, apparently waiting some signal
for concerted action. Fear is enter
lained that this widespread agitation
may be connected with a plan to
await a possible peasant outbreak in
the spring, with which a general
strike will be synchronized. the work
men joining hands with the peasants.

New Orleans, Feb. 27.-Fire involv-
ing millions of dollars loss in physical
property, and that strikes a serious, if
temporary, blow at the immense ex-
port trade of New Orleans, swept the
river front and wiped out the vast
freight terminals of the Illinois Cen
trail, known as the Stuyvesant Docks.
Nearly a dozen squares of modern
wharves and freight sheds. two mag
nificent grain elevators, hundreds Of
loaded cars and vast quantities Of
freight, including 10000 bales of cot

large number of small residences. The

oiled. The whole plant wGs equipped
with gigantic water tanks and fire ex-
tinguishing apparatus, but the blaze,
small at the beginning, almost in
stantly got beyond control, commune
eating through the conveyors to the
lower elevator and some of the sheds.
The response of the fire department
was prompt, but owing to the fact
that the terminals were not readily ac-
cessible, because of fences and tracks,
the engines found great difficulty in
reaching the flames. In half an hour
the fire covered two squares, the lower
elevator was practically consumed,
and the fire was sweeping with ire
sistible fury both up and down the
river.
Fortunately Louisiana avenue is a
very broad thoroughfare, and the
further spread Of the fire beyond that
point into a residence section was
checked. Between the points named
however, the flames swept to COM
plete destruction many cottages of
the poorer classes, the occupants in a
great many instances losing all they
possessed.
The river boats, the employees of the
road and the fire department concen-
trated all their energies in an effort
to save the upper elevator between
Auestrlitz and ConstantinOple streets
and to check the fire at the point The
fireo however, gradually worked past
the point occupied by the elevator.
Heroically the forces kept at work,
but ultimately they were beaten, and
the big steel structure, covered with
corrugated iron, suddenly burst into
flame, and in half an hour was a com
plete wreck.
During the fire a heavy wind blew,
and the blaze was of indescribable
fury. carrying brands to great dis
tances, driving back the crowds of
ls.Thtseers.

1000 miles from the town. They
believed him and each gave him
the required amount of orders, and
each received so many papers to
distribute, but nobody about town
or in the country wanted the pa
pers, and they were finally thrown
away, or used for wrapping paper
The local paper was neglected, the

followed her TO heaven, where he
was given a harp and summoned
