WORKMEN Also FIRM.
Concessions Demanded Before They
Will Chose Delegates.

ST. Petersburg March The Peoples Palace
here was the scene of remarkable convention
to-day when workingmen representing 160 fac
tories of this city met for the first time in their
lives with freedom of speech and assembly guar
anteed them These working men were $50
primary electors who may on March 3 select
fifty of their number 10 serve on the mixed eco
nornic commission of which NJ Schidlovski is
president.
The convention unanimously adopted resolu-
ton to refuse to take part in proceedings on
March 3 unless the government pledged the re
lease of the workmen who had been arrested
since January %. Other conditions were that
the members Of the commission should have
absolute freedom of speech and immunity from
arrest on account Of expression of opinions, and
that the proceedings of the commission should
be published uncensored.
The convention began at p. m A chairman
and vice-chairman were elected, but the entire
meeting was marked by ignorance Of methods OF
procedure One Of the earliest speakers wheel
wright moved the assembly to great enthusiasm
when he insisted that before proceeding TO elect
representatives to the commission they must IN
sist upon the liberation of over 1900 working
men who had been arrested since January Y.
The speaker said these men were treated py
the government as criminals, and 1t was the
duty Of the workmen to stand by their COM
rades No one knew he said, what would be-
come of these men who are under arrest Inc

liberty of speech, liberty of domicle ana I'M

which is the ordinary dose. Now in a glass OF
beer (Which is the ordinary dose) there are about
two hundred minims of alcohol In other words,
one dose OF beer contains twenty times as much
alcohol as one dose of Ayers Sarsaparilla. But
let US carry this analysis little further: You
have to drink about half q bottle OF Ayers
sarsaparilla TO get as much alcohol as is found
in an ordinary schooner of beer The Sarsa-
parilla would cost the man nearly half dollar
while the beer would cost him only five cents

told that taste for beer is soon acquired In

dents from the roots. barks, etc. which form an

We are informed that this is the first-time in
the history of the proprietary medicine business
that the formulas have been thus boldly given to
the public, and the outcome viii be watched

STOESSEL SIGHTED.
General at Capital-Reiss Attacks
admiral OmktOmShy.

st. Petersburg March 1.-Lieutenant General
stoessel arrived in ST Petersburg this morning
from Moscow. The Minister of War, General
sakharofr and Admiral Zilotti welcomed the
general, who was loudly cheered. Nine. Stoesse
looked even more bronzed than her husband, and
smiled at the welcome. 1t was remarked that
the generals hair had turned quite white.
General and Nine. Stoessel drove in an open
carriage through the Nevsky Prospect to the
residence of Lieutenant General Prince Viasem-
ky, member of the Imperial Council. where
they will stay. Only a few military men and
no naval officers excepting Admiral zilotti were
at the station, which was surrounded by large
force Of police. The route to Prince Viasemky' s
residence was patroed by numerous detach-
ments of Cossacks and Life Guards Altogether
the generals welcome was by no means in the
nature of a popular demonstration, and lacked
genuine enthusiasm.
General Reiss, General Stoessels chief of staff.
in behalf of the general gave an interview in
which he said that the stories from Che-Foo
attacking the commander of Port Arthur orig
mated with Russian the staff Of the "Novi-
krai" who was expelled by General Stoessel.
General Reiss repeated that fewer than 5000
men were under arms to defend twenty miles of
fortihcations, four OF which were already in the
hands of the Japanese. General Reiss was not
sparing in his criticism of Rear Admiral Oulx-
tomsky who, General Reiss declared, was an
admirable professor Of analytical trigonometry
and compiler of the marine census. but ut

eral Stoessel being powerless to order the squad

fiscal year on June so. Secretary Shaw'S es-
innate of an S1S.OO0.OOO deficit viii not be far

favor little has been heard from the men who

must he accorded TO worl<ingmen in the prov
,nces They must have an answer with NJ
schidlovsl1fs assent, before proceeding to the
election of delegates to the commission.
These demands were recorded by the secre-
tary of the schidlovski commission who was
present. and then drafted a resolution and
unanimously carried. The resolution concludes
with the statement that unless the demands are
granted by o'clock on March 3 they will refuse
to elect fifty representatives. and that, II grant
ed acceptance of the conditions is to be placard-
ed on the factory walls.
The president of the convention gave lucid
review of the position Of the st Petersburg
workmen He said they must have the right to
strike. which is tho most important weapon OF
the proletarat. Under the present laws work
men are poweress. He described American,
English and German trades unions. and con-
trasted them with the conditions in Russia He
pictured starving men begging on their knees
for means to support their families. and salo
that if they had money and the right to or
ganize they would be strong whereas with ram
ished families and without organization their
hearts failed them. He demanded the abolition
of the Russian passport system, whereby ne
said. men were practically reduced TO slavery.
He pointed out that out Of earnings of 80 20
week a workman is forced to pay SO 81 annually
for a passport
The convention plainly showed that represen-
tative Russian workmen are able lnteihgehuy
to discuss public affairs.
AS result of this meeting there seems to be
reason to believe that the commission Will not
be convolxed. In certain quarters the attitude
of the delegates is regarded as indicating that
the labor movement has fallen completely under
the control of political agitators. The advocates
of the commission believe that the government
will not meet the conditions set forth in the
resolutions.
