CENSURE FOR RUSSIA.
Pastoral Calls Upon Her to Arise and
Cleanse Herself.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 20
Metropolitan Antonius has issued a
remarkable pastoral address arraign-
ing the Russia of to-day for vanity,
frivolity, dissipation and impiety, the
just punishment of which is the humi-
liation of the nation, and preaching
repentance and the fear of God. The
pastoral says:
1t is not for the first time that holy
Russia has fallen dire misfortunes; but then
Russia was wholly different country, strong
in the love of holy religion, and impregnable
in devotion to the Emperor and the fatheriand.
NOW, while carrying on great war instead
of eongregating in a spirit of high and self
denying patriotism internal dssension reigns
in the land everything is overthrown science
is neglected and what is holy is trampled upon
During the carnival days last week while
our heroes were dying in unequal combat wat
ering the battleields with their blood we dared
even then abandon ourselves to the usual ex-
cess and days of feasting and unseemly dissi-
patton With right We are despised by all.
Knocked at by all the peoples of the earth
Awake then holy orthodox Russia; fear God
cleanse thyself from the stain of the foulness
of thy sins; repent enlighten thyself, and God
Will give thee grace.

READY To FIGHT
MOBILIZATION
Workmen in Poland Prepare
to Resist the Carrying
Out Of the Cars Orders
SCHOOL STRIKE ACUTE
Boys Who Refuse to Attend
Gain the Sympathy Of the
Educational Committee

WARSAW, March 19. - 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 foreman, who
had refused to join the strikers, was
fatally stabbed, and to-day a<work-
man. who had refused to walk out, was
shot and severely wounded. The au-
thorities fear that these incidents are
only the beginning of series of such
outrages.
The masses are greatly excited in
anticipation of orders for mobiliza-
ton. The men are determined to offer
violent opposition Scarcely a day
passes without the appearance of Sc
ditious pamphlets. One secret publica-
tion entitled, The Barricade, which
was recently circulated. preached reyo-
lutionary doctrines, urging workmen to
prepare for the struggle and build bar
ricades in the streets. The mobiltza-
ton is expected to begin in LODI to-
morrow. Workmen in several mills
there already are striking as mani
festation of hostility to such measures.
The school strike at Warsaw is
reaching an acute stage. The authori-
ties to-day issued final order that
boys not returning to school before
Wednesday will be expelled, regardless
of their number. The Polish educational
committee, which recently went to st.
Petersburg, is angered at the govern
ment's on-conciliatory attitude, and
met here to-day and resolved to sup
port the boys in striking.
