BAD TO WORSE IN WARSAW.
Street Collisions Between Soldiers
and Strikers Are Frequent.

Street Collisions Between Soldiers
and Strikers Are Frequent.
According to Mondays adVices,While
there seems to have been complete
restoration of order in st. Petersburg
and Moscow, conditions at Warsaw
continue to go from bad to worse.
Estimates Of the killed and wounded
in consequence Of collisions between
mobs and soldiers place the number
at 160. The bakers being on strike,
bread is at famine prices at War
saw and attempts to break into stores
there have caused numerous COLI
sions with the military. The find
ing Of revolvers Of uniform make
on many of the rioters arrested al
fords confirmation Of recent reports
that revolutionary agitators have
been smuggling arms in anticipation
of an outbreak. 1t is asserted that
the official tale Of the dead through
the recent conflict between the strlk
ers and troops at Riga is far short
of the actuality, many having per-
,shed in an attempt to cross the
river on the ice when the soldiers
onened fire, the ice breaking and the
water engulfing the fugitiTes.

asELL NO COTTON" IS SLOGAN.
Association Directors Plan to Hold
Out Two and Half Million Bales.

Association Directors Plan to Hoio
Out Two and Half Million Bales.
The plan for carrying into effect
the holding over Of about two mil
lion bales of cotton Of the unsold por
ton OF the crop of 1904 until January,
February and March, 1906. not more
than one-third of which should be sold
in each of these months, will be acted
upon by the board of thirteen general
directors who will meet in New Or
leans February 4 to consider the pre-
liminary work Of organizing perma'
nent cotton warehouse system through.
out the entire cotton states and ter
ritorIes.
This will leave about two and a
half million bales Of cotton to be mar.
kated batween this and October Il,
1905.
< It seemed to be the concensus OF
opinion Of the delegates that not q
bale of these two and one-haf million
bales should be sold under any pre-
text whatsoever until the price OF cot
ton has reached 10-cent basis mid
dling, NEW Orleans.
The recent convention fixed the
limit at nine cents. but reconsIdered
it's action ard placed the figure at
ten cents.

BOUGHT ENDORSEMENTS
Will Henceforth BE Under the Ban
at Postoffice pepartment-Wynne
to Issue the Order.

A Washington special says: An Or
der destined to play an important part
in the fate Of many southern aspi-
rants for federal Office is to be given
out at the postoffice department.
Through investigation Of certain
Georgia and South Carolina cases, the
postoffice authorities have discovered
that not infrequently white republi-
can politicians have secured the in
dorsement of the negro politicians by
paying their way to the national ana
state conventions. The process is
pretty familiar to the people Of the
south, but not until recently was 1t
brought to the attention of Postmaster
General Wynne.
The incumbency Of certain postmas'
tiers, particularly Of the smaller cities
and towns, has been attacked on the
ground that they secured those offices
by resorting to the method in $ques-
tion. Postmaster General Wynne has
in several such cases held that If the
record made by the incumbent IS GOOD
he will not be disturbed, but the or
der to be promulgated will declare
that in all cases in the future an ar
rangement of this nature will be con-
strued as equivalent to the purchase
of Endorsement and will serve to knock
out any aspirant for office implicated.
The general effect Of this will be
to discredit the influence Of indorse-
ment of negroes under the mask OF be-
ing. the regular republican =orsaniza-
ton.

Telegraphic advices received in To

"Our detachment occupied Liutiako

of the enemy last night. We entirely
repulsed the enemy.
Our detachment at dawn today

THE enemy in the direction of Lir-

I'm the direction Of Chenchiehpao

In the direction of Heikoutai the

Russians Admit Defeat.
A st. Petersburg special, under
Mondays date. says: Instead OF con-
firmation of Saturday nights report
that General Kuroparkin had broken
through the Japanese left, there came
Lieutenant General Sakharoff's official
admission that the Russians had been
compelled ito: retire from Sandep1s ON
account of their inability to carry q
redoubt. 1t is also significant that
. dispatches from Russian correspond
ents at the front have again suddenly
ceased. which is regarded az an indi-
,cation Of the failure Of the operation
and strengthens the first impression
that it was a demonstration under
taken TO distract the people at home
from the political situation.
The Russians lost about 1000 men
in the fighting at Sandepas.

BRiTONS AGAIN ANGERED
Her Consul and ViceConsul at War
saw, Russia, Attacked by Soldiers
During Strike Melee.

A London special says: The for.
eign office has received a telegram
from Consul General Murray at War
saw, Russia, reporting that himself
and Vice Cousul Mukukain, who is a
Russian subject, were charged by
Russian cavalry engaged in clearing
the streets Of Warsaw.
1t appears that Mr.. Murray is par.
TALLY deaf and probably did not hear
the approach of the troopers, ana
when he subsequently endeavored to
make known his personality it was
without avail.
Representations were at once made
by Ambassador Hardinge to the Rus
sian government, which demanded
that the governor general of Warsaw
institute strict inquiry into the Incl.
dent. His majestys ambassador also
sent Colonel Napier, the military at
tache, to Warsaw to report on the
subject.
At the foreign Office there is evil
dent apprehension Of another popular
anti-Russian outburst, and while DIP
lomats say there is no doubt that full
satisfaction will be given for the af-
fair, the newspapers are unanimous
in condemnation OF Russia and at
tribute all incidents to anti british
sentiment. . It was intimated that
these accumulatiye evidences of hos
tility, whether accidental or inten-
tional, are causing much apprehen-
sion, and that it will be necessary Tor
the Russian government to give full
and prompt explanation or otherwise
popular sentiment in the United King.
dom might create a serious situation.
Regarding the affair, a st. Peters
burg dispatch says: New complica-
lions between Great Britain and Rus
sia are feared on account Of the at.
tack on the British consul and vice
consul at Warsaw Saturday night.
Coming on the heels Of the placards
posted by Assistant Police Chief
Roudneff, accusing the British Of as
sisting the revolutionists OF Russia,
the Warsaw incident may be the
source Of another outblrst in Great
Britain, which may again strain re-
lations between the two countries.
Beyond the fact from the attack at
Warsaw, resulting in the woundins
of the British vice consul who is now
in a hospital, the British embassy
here has no details Of the affair, but
Sir Charles Hardinge, the British am
bassador, has already delivered noto
to Foreign Minister LamsGCrn, asking
Tor an immediate Investigation and
explanation, reserying ary claims
which may be hereafter made ann at
the same time asking for protection
of British consuls throughout the en-
pire. BY the first train lie also dis.

itary attache, to Warsaw, to secure

STRIKERS RESORT TO PILLAeE.

Disorders increase at Warsaw, Russia
But Quiet Reisns in Moscow.
The strike disorders in Warsaw,
Russia, are becoming more serious.
The ordinary LIE Of the city 'is quite
suspended, On. Saturday the strikers
stopped the street railwaysservice. but
remained otherwise orderly. Sunday,
however, they began wholesale pfl-
lage.
The majority of the shops in Mar
shal Kovski street and the state vodka
shops were looted. All the factories,
shops. schools and theaters are closed,
and the street lamps are extinsuished.
There have been several collisions
between the police and strikers and
many arrests have been made. Peace
abiding inhabitants are terror stricken.
At Moscow the strike is considered
to be practically over. A blizzard has
rendered excellent service to the au.
thorities in keeping the people IN
doors. and there was not the slightest
disorder Sunday on the part Of the
strikers. The authorities, however,
had taken exceptional precautions to
avoid the assembfage Of crowds. Even
the Sunday markets were closed.
Strong p;ckets were posted all over
the city, inside the factories and out
side.
There are about 100000 troops in
the city.
