The First Postage Stamps.

1.-THE postage stamp. like he rail-
road and the telephone, Is n nine
teenth century invention, and only
slxty-fye years Of age, ut that, says
the Washington Star. Great Britain
was the first country to adopt this
idea of cheap postal communication
Jan. 10, 1910. 1t was about 1885 that
Rowland Hill, an Euglishman, turned
his attention to the postal system OF
his country. BY degrees and by care
fully watching the system then in
vogue Hill became convinced that u
uniform cheap postage in he shape
of an adhesive stamp for prepayment
III mail matter would not only become
popular with the people, but ut the
same time materially increase the rev.
enue of Great Britain. The English
p~ostoficc authorities discouraged the
scheme as much IS possible. Never
theless, from mere force Of public
sentiment, it was introduced into par
Lament and ratified in 1889. OF course
when the measure became n law post
age stamps were Il great success and
have since been adopted by all civil.

inflow greatly the prosecution of

situation is made manifest by the ex-
ceptional measures inaugurated to
break the railroad strike on lines vital
for the transportation of provisions,
troops and munitions. The demands
of the men in the matter of wages have
been granted on government roads and
the same point has been conceded in
the case of employees of government
arsenals and arms and munitions fac
tories.
In addition, a statute has been found
under which striking railway en-
ployes in time of war are subject to
arrest and punishment by martial law,
and Prince Hilkoff, minister of rail-
roads and communications, has for
mally notified all railroad strikers of
the penalty of this law if they inter-
fere with military trains.
Preparations are being made to man
the Moscow Brest line, which must be
kept open, with soldiers trained for
the operation of railroads. There are
several such battalions in the Russian
army and these are being recruited to
double their ordinary strength.

WARSAW, Feb. 27.-Murderous at

men or small patrols in the streets of
Warsaw, causing the gravest anxiety
to the authorities, who are at a loss

The force of police, which is entirely
inadequate. consists of only 1000 men
to a population of 100000, of whom 1000
are known to be roughs and criminals
of the most desperate class. Reports
are current today that the murders
will be continued until the number of
policemen killed equals the total num-
ber of persons killed in the January
disturbances.
The streets are now infested with
beggars and the main thoroughfares
are scarcely safe for pedestrians after
nightfall. Several hold-ups were re-
ported yesterday.
The employees of the suburban steam
railways have struck and the city fire.
men have announced that they will
strike on Saturday unless given higher
wages. The grave diggers of the Jew
ish cemeteries have made similar de-

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 27-That

priatlon bills, possibly making neces
sary an extra session of congress un-
less there Is statehood legislation
providing at least for the admission of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one
state, is the threat of Senator Bailey.
AS a sample of what he Is prepared
to do, Senator Bailey today offered dig
an amendment to the Indian appro-
priation bill measure admitting Okla
homa and Indian Territory to state
hood.
He declared he would fight to IL
finish for this and was prepared TO
see the Indian and the other approprla-
tion bills that have not yet passed
the senate go down to their death un-
less he got what he wanted. He JUS
titles his course on the ground that
he has been reliably Informed that it
is the purpose of the house conferees
on statehood to permit no legislation
unless the senate will agree to accept
the house proposition to make one
state of Oklahomt and Indian Territory
and another out of New Mexico and
Arizona; nothing more and nothing
less.
Senator Bailey says this attitude of
the house has been taken at the dicta-
tion of one man, Speaker Cannon, al
though tho senate ba 6 cbov, TIC ,,rafer
ence for different arrangement.
Senator Bailey asserts one man in
the senate has as good a right as one
man in the house to issue ultimatums
regarding what disposition shall be
made of the statehood question. There
purpose of the house statehood confer
ees to accept nothing but bill sub
stantially similar to the one that
passed the house making two states
out of four territories.
The house conferees will not, it is
said consent to make any report to
the house until they can get an accept
ance from the senate conferees of this
arrangement. The house conferees
fear that If they report a disagreement
to the house a motion might be made
there and carried instructng them to
accept the senate bill admitting Okla
homa and Indian Territory as one
state and New Mexico separately, leav-
ing Arizona out for future action.
The house conferees will take no
chances on anything of this kind being
done, hence their purpose to make no
report at all unless 1t is that the SEN
ate conferees have accepted the house
bill.

fact that the peasants number 100000
out of total population of 100000,
will, If 1t spreads, result in disorder

The peasants hitherto have not
figured to any great extent in this

The Socialists recently sent ennis
saries into the country districts for
the purpose of stirring up the viii
layers. According to reports, they met
with speedy success. AS rs per cent
of the peasants are unable to read,
they are easily led away by Socialist
