STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY.

Moscow, Nov. 23.--The excitement
among the peasants in the central, and
southeastern provinces is spreading rap
idly, and it is feared it will be impossible
TO suppress the movement which prom
ises to develop into a general uprising,
bringing devastation and untold horror
to the whole country.
The revolutionists tell the peasants
that the imperial reform manifesto real
~ decreed division of the lands, but
that the mobiles, "intelligencia" and Jews
took all the freedom for themselves,
and the peasants, therefore, have the
right to possess themselves of the land
which the Emperor granted them.
The peasant congress--largely under
the domination of men with soeialistic
ideas, who are preaching expulsion Of
landlords, division of estates and a re-
fusal by the peasants to pay taxes until
a constituent assembly is called-willl
meet here today.

Doctors Organize for Protection.

The physicians of Poultney have form
ed an association for the purpose of
defending themselves against unscrupu-
lous dead beats and persons who display
inclinations to get all they can from one
physician and then try another.
The agreement which the doctors have
formulated requires that after Decem-
Der no person shall be attended by
any Of the physicians if said person is
already indebted to any physician, I'M
less the physician be paid for each and
every visit, until the old bill be paid.
There will be list of persons indebted
TO each physician for over three months,
said list to be handed to the secretary
who will make complete list of all
such persons and give copy OF the
same to each physician.
The charges for visits are to be Is
follows: ST for the first mile and rs
cents for every mile thereafter from
his office. Night calls, not less than 50
for out of town, and $3.50 in town. No
physician viii attend a case that any
other physician has unless attending

HUGE DAM AT IsrHMus.
Novel Canal Plan Proposed by Maj. c. E
Gillette.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 23.-That a
safe, complete, practicable and service
able waterway across the isthmus Of
Panama can be constructed in five years
and at cost of not to exceed S1ii,000,-
600 is the contention Of Mai. Cassius E.
Gillette, engineer corps, U. S. A., tenn
porarily detached and serving IN Phlia-
delphia as chief of the filtration bureau.
Mai. Gillette's plans have been evolved
after personal study of the isthmus,
which he visited as one of the engineers
attached to the first isthmian canal COM
mission named by the President under
the authority of the Spooner act.
Mai. Gillette's plan is, instead OF Dig
ging a canal, to build gigantic DIRT
dam at Gatun, and flood the country
from that point to Pedro Miguel, about
30 miles, making deep, freely navlga-
Bile lake about 100 square miles in area
The dam, with four or five miles Of IN.
der-water dredging on the north and
about nine miles Of similar excavation
on the south, would complete the canal
A flight of three locks at either end Of
the lake, each lock to have a lift Of
SO ia feet, would carry ships from sea
level 10 the surface Of the lake. A depth
Of As feet is contemplated throughout
the canal on the estimates Mai. Gillette
has prepared.

Abdul opened his eyes. Keda Ring
jumped three feet high in ecstaey.
See, brothers, the devil; he has de-
parted" Keda cried.
Abdul stared at keda.

in English
Now, as Keda solemnly explained lat
err, Abdul had never spoken a word of
English in his life, and when Keda heard
these heather words issuing from his
lips at such time he was inexpressibly
Mortified, shocked and disappointed.
Keda spread out his arms in anguish
and to the deep disgust of Able Seaman
Jones and Third Mate Price, who pretty
well understood the Lascar lingo, said:
"0h, brothers, a great light has come
unto me. 1t is an English devil that
possesses our poor Abdul. 1t is the
English devil that speaks from his lips.
Pray, brothers, pray more"
1Henglish devil" cried Jones. "Well,
that's a ELL of a note. Ave Hi go

Capt. Renwiek, who had hitherto been
cautious about using force against the
Lasears for fear OF bloodshed, was now
about ready to get out brace Of pis-
tolls.
AT this critical moment, however, Alb
dull himself opened the way to solu-
ton by getting to his feet, shaking out
his long, bare brown limbs with shiv-
er and saying, in good Javanese this
time:
Memory comes back to me brothers.
1t was the devil and the lamp, was it
not, brothers? 1t was very wicked
devil, but, Allah be praised, he has de-
parted now"
And while Keda Ring was making
sure, Price and Jones disappeared and
returned with the breathless information
that they had just seen the devil disap-
pear down No. hatch, and that they
had closed the hatch.
So Keda, the hadji, was convinced,
and with Abdul, Gingo and all the rest
went willingly back to his stocking.
But even now Hatch No. 3 is place
of terror.

plan to Have washington for Third Term

Washington, old and worn out in the
service Of his country when he left Of

1897, took no part in politics afterward,
but he accepted the command of the
army when there seemed to be pros.
pect Of q war with France, during John

lists, believing that Adams could not be
reelected, and believing also that he did
not deserve to be, prompted Gouverneur
Morris in 1899 TO write to Washington
asking him to accept another term, 50
as to unite the hostile factions OF Wash
ington's and Adams party, but before
the letter reached Washington he was

STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY
In zEMSTVO CONGRESS

Moscow, and Best Informed Fear
a Split.

ST. Petersburg, Nov. 23.- -All eyes turn
to Moscow and the struggle in the zem-
stvo congress on the question of sup
porting Premier White. Some OF the
most powerful men in the congress are
urging the necessity for rallying the
moderates in support Of the government,
but the irreconeilable radicals appear to
make split inevitable.
Should a resolution to support the
premier be carried, it seems almost GER
tain that it viii be coupled with condi-
tions. The idea Of constituent as
sembly seems TO have been abandoned,
but not the demand for universal suf-
frage, to which the premier is likely
to yield.
The section under M. Roberti insists
that portfolios be given to men In SYM
