Element Of the Difficulty.

Warsaw, Feb. 25.-The strikers are
resorting to violence. They have de-
stroyed the great switchboard station
outside the city and cut number OF
telegraph wires.
The employees of the Warsaw'MlaVa
section Of the Vistula railway have
strack, cutting off the last direct line
Of communication with Germany
Only very circuitous routes are now
open.
Warsaw. - The situation here IS
causing the greatest anxiety in all
circles. The assistant to the govern
or general, who was interviewed TO-
day, frankly admitted that the gov
eminent is at a loss to know what to
do. Alarming reports are current
concerning the intention and plans
Of the revolutionary party, ana
March A is awaited with much appre'
hension. The strike agitation Is
spreading in every direction, and
bank clerks, journalists, office ser
wants, printers, drivers and station
airy engineers and mechanics in gen.
eral are all threatening to strike
| Notwithstanding all this the sltra-
ton in the city Is remarkably quiet.
The Vienna railroad is still COM
pletely at a standstill, and there ap-
pears no hope of a speedy settlement
of the difficulty. The directors mad
a long session today, but were I'M
able to find a solution.
Western Poland is completely cut
off from communication with middle
and western Europe except by tele'
graph. No mails are arriving or
leaving, the authorities apparently
preferrlng to hold mails rather than
| send them by circuitous routes. Com
mercial interests and private indl

The city is threatened with a coal
famine, the entire supply Of coal com
ing from the district of Dombroya
over the Vienna road.
The governor general has offered tt
supply military men to work the
trains, but it is impracticable, as the
strikers have destroyed switches
Many through passengers from Mos
cow and ST. Petersburg are detained
here, and great quantities of perish
able goods from France and Italy are
being utterly spoiled by the delay
A telephone message from Lodi
saws the workmen in most Of the fac
tories there have returned to thell
labors, but as the big mills are only
paying the old wages, while the pay
of the men in the small mills has
heen increased, it is feared that the
Improvement is only temporary
Constantinople,- -Eytremely alarm
ing reports are current here concern
ing the situation at Batoum ant
| Poti. It is alleged that some vessels
of the Black Sea squadron RUSSIAN
have bombarded Poti. An English
merchant who has just arrived here
says he was obliged to flee IRON
Batoum, where his life was menacet
by strikers and his office destroyed
This merchant says the authorities
of Batoum are powerless. The strlk
ers are all Georgians, and are estl
mated to number 100000.
The steamship lines from Con
stantinople to Batoum have suspend
ed service.
