The Red Cross detachments at all Of

The Chinese population are leaving

fifty cents.

bandits. Practically the entire village
accepted the officers permission to ae-

il SOLDIER BATTERED UP.
Charles Ryan Recently from the Philip
pines Gets worst of Encounters.

A man who says that he is Charles
K. Ryan and who recently returned
from the Philippines, where he has been
serving in the regular army, was found
on the street last evening in badly
battered condition and was taken to
the Grand avenue police station, where
it was found that his head had been cut
open in eight or ten different places.
1t. was necessary for a physician to
work over him for some time. He says
that he received his injuries by fall,
but the police believe that he got into
trouble at the home of his brother-in-
law, James Bradley, of IL Main street,
and that he got considerably the worse
of the encounter, He had apparently
been struck repeatedly with some blunt
instrument.
No arrests have yet been made in the
case, although if Ryan confesses there
probably will be.

PE1iCE TALE.
Powerful Influences at Work to HAVE
Gar End the War.

st. Petersburg, March 20.-1:45 a. m.
While Emperor Nicholas, whose word
is final, still declines to abandon the
prosecution of the war, and the gov
ernment maintains its ability to contin-
sue the conflict, the Associated Press is
in position to state that powerful in
fluences, including several Of the em-
peror's own ministers, arc now strong
" urging that the time has come to in
dicate to Japan Russia's desire for
peace on a reasonable basis.
Should Japan then attempt to impose
too onerous conditions these influences
argue that, in view of the universal
wish to see the bloody conflict ended.
Russia's position win be strengthened
abroad by the alienation of sympathy
from Japan, and the situation at home
improved when the nation is made to
understand that the emperor's pacific
proposals have been met with inpossi-
BILE terms.

STRIKERS TAKE REVENG Il.
Foreman Who Would Not Join Them
Stabbed to Death.

Warsaw, March 19v10:45 p. nl-Now
that most of the strikes are ended, the
workmen are beginning to carry out
the threat of revenge on such of their
fellows as refused to quit work with
them. On Saturday a foreman who
had refused to join the strikers was
fatally stabbed, and to-day a workman
who had refused to walk out was shot
and severely wounded. The authorities
fear that these incidents are only the
beginning Of series Of such outrages.
The working classes are greatly excit-
ed i'm anticipation of orders for mobil-
ization The men are determined to
offer violent opposition. Scarcely a day
passes without the appearance of sedi-
tious pamphlets.
One secret publication entitled 'The
Barricades,' which was circulated re-
Gently, preached revolutionary doctrine
urging workmen to prepare for the
struggle and build barricades in the
streets. The mobilization is expected
to begin in Lodz tomorrow. Workmen
in several mills there already are strik-
ing as a manifestation of hostility to
such measures.
The school strike !. at Warsaw is
reaching an acute stage. The authori-
ties to-day issued a final order. tha,
boys not returning to school before
Wednesday will be expelled, regardless,
of their number
The Polish education committee
which recently went to st. Petersburg
is angered at the governments nom
conciliatory attitude and ct here TO-
day and resolved to support the boys in
striking. More troubles are feared.
Warsaw and Lodz manufacturers
have been invited to send delegates to
a meeting of industrial representatives
from all parts of Russia at Moscow or
Thursday to discuss the commercial
situation preparatory to making a re.
port to the ministry of commerce.

NEW YoRK Police FORCE.
of Nine Makes ITS Prelimi-
r nary Report

-
b New york, March 19.-Tlle committee
of nine, appointed at a public meeting
of citizens, to inquire into the organiz-
alton discipline and administration Of
the police force, gave out preliminary
report to-day, which confirms the fore
cast already published. In Introducing
their recommendation the committee
says
Il The results of recent legislative i'm
quiries, police trials, daily observations
of the people and statements of re-
sponsible officials show that the condi-
tions produced by the present police
system are unsatisfactory, both to the
citizens and the majority of the force. "
The report recommends that the ex-
ecutive command of the force be vest
ed in uniform chief inspector, the
position to be an assignment revocable
at the will of the commissioners. The
broadening of the powers of the COM
missioner in Furnishing breaches of dis
cipline, and increased salaries for the
commissioners and deputies are among
the suggestions. The committee fur
ther recommends that the present de-
tective bureau be abolished and a new
bureau be organized, the members to be
drawn from the uniform force, and that
a special bureau be organized, charged
with the duty of detecting violations Of
the excise laws and the laws against
gambling and disorderly houses.
The suggestions have been embodied
in a bill which the committee hope to
have introduced in the legislature to-
morrow. =.

DISORDERS GROWING.
Alarming Reports from Black Sen and
Other Districts. =..

Other Districts. =..
st. Petersburg, March 2,-2:355 a. M
The peasant disorders are growing
rapidly in the Black sea belt and other
districts of southern Russia. Provin-
cial journals bring alarming reports,
showing that an actual reign of terror
already exists in some districts. Not
only are estates plundered and build
ings burned, but landlords are brutally
murdered. In some places bands of
armed moujiks have taken to the. for
ests and actual battles have taken place
between them and estate guardians.
Millions Of copies of two documents
called 1.-THE Golden SorelP' and 'Divi-
sion of Lands" have been circulated by
agitators. Both tell peasants that the
emperor has deereed division of land.
The provincial newspapers are urgently
demanding that the government take
energetic measures to check the move
nlent before it is too late. Commits
sions, the bureaucracy is warned, will
not do. If the disorders are allowed to
so much further it will be possible to
stop them only by great bloodshed.

WRECKED ON BLOCK ISLAND.
Steamer Spartan Strikes and Quickly
Sinks.-CreT Taken on.

Block Island, R. l., March 19.-In
rounding the southeast end of Block
Island two hours before daylight to-
day the steamer Spartan, Captain ]. o.
Briggs, Of the Boston and Philadelphia
Steamship company, but on her way
from Providence to Philadelphia,
grounded on the point and sunk until
the water was even with her lower
deck, with a fifteen-foot hole in her
bow. At 5 o'clock tonight she was
rapidly breaking up.
The accident occurred almost under
the bluff on which is the powerful
Southeast light, equipped with a fog
whistle, which, according to those on
shore. had been blowing half an hour
before the steamer struck. The weather
at the time was foggy, but the mist was
not particularly dense.
The Spartan ran squarely on to the
reef that makes out from the end of the
island for a distance of a few hundred
yards. 1t was high tide and she filled
to her lower deck almost Immediately.
The Spartan left Providence yester-
day afternoon and made a slow run
down rragansett Bay. She passed
out by Beaver Tail light early this
morning and at once headed for Block
Island with the intention of rounding
the southeast end and then keeping on
down the coast. In going around the
end of the island she evidently clung
too close to the shore and a quarter be-
fore four o'clock suddenly brought up
on the reef. ...--..ss.
Captain Briggs Immediately dispatch
ed a boat to shore and wreckers from
New London and Boston started for the
scene this noon. T..
The day was calm and at dark to-
night light off-shore breeze was
blowing. ., ~
The crew of twenty-three men re-
|maired ON board until 1880 o'clock to-
might when the vessel began to break
up, and signalled the life-savers to take
off her men. =
The Spartan is a steel steamer of 1886
gross tonnage, 222 feet long, S7-feet
beam, 16.5 feet deep, and was built at
