Any with grievance of any sort

City Hall on Monday. This is not saying in an
indirect way that grievances not respectfully

Mcclellan does as well he can. but sometimes
his enthusiasm lags, President Fornes of the Board
OF Aldermen will be Acting Mayor Monday.
Mayor Mcclellan will be in Boston. Mr. Fornes
is of an optimistic disposition and, besides he Is
anxious TO demonstrate that he is not the kind of
Mayor to deny the sacred right of petition oral
written. No matter how old the grievance IL
will receive careful attention at the CITY Hall on
Monday,

the craziest kind OF a lunatic. II may cause the
newspaper reader a distinct pain as soon as he

correspondent for the "Tageblatt" in the East.
writes the following opinion of General Kuro-
patkin:
Although through and through honorable
man, benevolent personally brave, admirable in
and an excellent administrator Kuropatkin
lacks that glance that penetrates the darkness
of a situation. quick decision and, before ALL the
unsympathetic Will that alone triumphs in war.
that without compassion uses the bodies and
souls of his men in taking their last and best
TO compass victory. Such men as Kuropatkin
are not few in the Russian army and their
qualities attach the soldier TO his flag, but they
do not win victories. Kuropatkn at Lao-Yang
burdened his mind with placing individual regi-

manager vas unable 10 replace these men. The
works are strongly guarded by police. The Ad-
rniralty and the War Office have requested Gov
ernor General Trepon to allow the workmen to
be re-employed. and it is hoped the factory will
reopen on Monday. The men say they tore down
the posters because the deputation which wait
ed on the Emperor die not include their repre-
sentatives.
A certain amount of agitation continues here
Printers in several establishments have struck
again because the employers refused to pay
them for the week they were idle.
A meeting of manufacturers has decided to
petition the Minister of Finance NJ. Kokovseff
TO consider the workmens demands in consulta-
tion with representatives of the employees and
employers. All the Russian manufacturers
have further decided to discuss the minor griev-
ances with the men. and have also resolved not
10 impose fines penalties discriminate
against the strikers and to raise fund for the
victims OF January %.
The manufacturers finally resolved that the
agitation among the workmen not a labor,
but a national movement, and that therefore
they are not justified in paying wages for the
time of the strike.
The appointment of NJ Bouigan as Minister
of the Interior does not evoke comment, the

A FEW DENIALS FROM MOUKDEN
japanese Reports of Recent Action Called
False

Moukden, Feb. 4.-Though there is a momen-
tary pause in the operations Russian activity
in the Shakhe River has not ended. Two hun
dred Japanese prisoners were brought in to-
day. They were badly dressed and suffering
from cold. The Japanese report that 800 Rus
slams were taken prisoners during the Sandepas
operations is untrue, and the Japanese losses
greatly exceed the Toxic estimates Of the Rus
sian losses. because, in their advance over the
frozen ground, it was impossible for the Jap
anese to intrench.
The report that General Kuropatkin received
orders from st. Petersburg to advance on ac-
count of the internal conditions in Russia is
also untrue The fighting was begun independ-
entity and the operations could have assumed
important dimensions only in case of the sue
cess of their primary object, the capture of
Sandepas.
