10 Tie On whole EN- pire.


1t is impossible almost to grasp the
extent OF the present uprising. The
movement is being directed by the So
cial Democrats, and the immediate OBJ
ject is the tying up of every mile of
rsilroad track in the empire. So far
the success Of the indictments has been
astonishing. The railroad service has
been crippled and the Government
powerless to move troops The post
office authorizes issued an order that
no registered mail was to be accepted
for transmission abroad. Mr.. Eddy,
the American Charge d'Affaires, in
structed Washington that mail com
munication has been cut off from this
city. The British Ambassador. Sir
Charles Hardinge, who babe farewell
to the Emperor preparatory to starting
on his mission relative to the Anglo
Russian entente, was unable to get 4
train, and after being delayed for If
teen hours started by steamer.
The spirit of revolution has affected
the entire populace. The "Marseil-
laise" is being sung in the streets. An
incident showing the revolutionary
drift is reported from Moscow A
crowd of strikers was breaking at the
station there before line of Cossacks
laying on brutalIy with their knouts,
when girl with hair streaming over
her shoulders rallied the workmen
She fell on her knees and cried for the
men TO fight not for material gain but
for human liberty in Russia. The strik-
ers responded by presenting a solid
front to the Cossacks. who were with
drawn by the officer in charge when he
saw the crowd could be dispersed only
by the wholesale sacrifice of lives. AS
the soldiers were retiring the strikers
burst into the "Marseillaise" and a
stirring demonstration. The girl was
holsted on the shoulders Of two men,
and was hailed as Joan OF Arc
How complete is the tie-up of the
railroads may be gathered from the
fact that Prince Kilkoff, the Minister
of Railroads. to get from Moscow to
the capital. had to drive the engine
himself. Kilkoff is beloved Of the rail-
road men. It is estimated that there
are now 10000 troops in the city.

ST. Petersburg, Russia. A strike

cessors has checked industry and traffic
in almost every province Of the Rus
sian Empire Hardly wheel is turn
ing on the railroads, and famine
threatens many cities. The workmen
in the factories have made common
cause with the engineers, and the
agrarian movement shows signs of re
newed vigor.
Rioting and bloodshed are reported
from many provinces. Moscow is prac-
tically in state of siege, anarchy pre-
walls at Riga Warsaw, Lodz and
Odessa are in revolt, and there have
been encounters at the capital and at
Ekaterlnoslav. Some of the popular
leaders say that the strike is test of
strength in preparation for great up
rising at the close of the year.
This city is isolated; not train has
been moved. Warsaw is cut off and
Moscow is in a state of siege.
The situation is so grave that the bu-
reaucracy for the first time since the
massacre outside the Winter Palace
last January has admitted its power is
threatened.
Count Witte, acting as the spokes-
man of the Gar, made a remarkable
statement. Since his return from the
United States Witte has been the fav-
ored servant Of the Emperor, and the
significance of his present utterance
may be judged from the fact that
Nicholas has chosen Witte as his
proxy to preside over the Ministers
when they listen to a deputation of
strikers. Witte wound up a long
speech of advice to a delegation of
striking railroad men with this porten-
t0us sentence:
Remember. the Government may
fan but with it you will perish also by
playing into the hands Of the bour-
geoise yon are lighting"

THE WAR CORRESPONDENT.
He Must Have . Soldiers Courage and
 Diplomats Tact.

In reporting a war, the first and most important question naturally arises over the selection of correspondents, says Melville F. Stone. in The Century. The number of men qualified by nature and education for such a task is very limited. Your war correspondents must be physically capable of withstanding the hardships of the field He must be also as courageous as any soldier. Indeed, his lot is an even harder one because he must put himself in places of the greatest danger. without the patriotic fervor, the touch of the com rade's elbow, or the possession of a rife, all of which are large factors in making up a troopers bravery He must be capable of describing what he sees accurately and graphically. He must have as large a perspective as the commanding general. If he seeks to tell the whole story of the battle.
 But he may have all these primal requisites and still prove failure. He must be temperamentally a diplomat and capable of ingratiating himself into the sympathetic and helpful friendship of those with whom he comes in con tact. He may be an ideal representa- tive at the headquarters of an Ameri- can general. but wholly incapable of serving satisfactorily with the- Russians or Japanese. As an illustration, all of the Associated Press correspondents on the Russian side speak either Russian or French. If they did not they would be useless. At least three of them are ng-time personal friends of General Kuropatkin.
 Above all. the war correspondent must possess in marked degree that fa- miliarity with events and affairs which will command the confidence of those in power about him. His influence oft en extends beyond his primary mission of reporting and strays into the field of international diplomacy. For instance. during the Boxer rebellion In China. one of the Associated Press correspondence was sought out and consulted by the the allied expedition as to his proper attitude toward the military represent ative of another power whose actions were causing grave concern in that del icate hour.

BOTH SIDES CLAIMING
TDLEGRAPHERS' STRIKE AGAINST
 RAILROADS FULLY ON.
Operators Say Lines of Employers are Practically Tied Up, While Latter Aver the Matter is
 lnn1gnlncant.

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 3.-Dfminishing dificulties as the result of the teiegra- phers' strike are reported today at both the Great Northern and Northern Paci- fic Railroads, and especially by the Northern Pacific. Onicers of the Rail- way Telagraphers' union. on the other hand, declare that the two roads are almost without operators, that passen- ger trains are delayed and that freight traf1c Is paralysed.
 The most tangible evidence of i'm provement iu tho Northern PAcifc ser vice is the announcement made to ship pers today that the embargo on perish able freight had been partly raised.
 The Great Northern. which would take perishable shipments for . flow large stations only. announced today that 1t would take shipments for all stations. if the latter were made at owners risk" and If tho charges wore prepaid. General Manager Horn said today: Our time freights arc running and. we expect. soms locals running on some of our divisions today We have sent out from this evening about twen- ty-five agents, who will 50 to points affected by the strike. They are men whom we have examined and who arc fully capable of handling our business" :"
 President Perham of the telegraphers' union said today: "The full effect of the strike will not be felt by the oom- panies until four or five days have elapsed. But I am well satisfied with present conditions. am constantly re- ceiving reports from all parts of both systems to the effect that passenger trains are delayed and that freight traf- flc is paralyzed.
 ''rhe stories about our men going back to work are absolutely untrue. There has been no break in our ranks. There is a charge being made against us that would like to contradict. It Is said that by my orders the men that went out turned their boards red. that is, displayed danger signals to all ar irving trains and this was done merely to embarrass the company and delay traffic. It was done. but 1t was done to protect life and property. Some agents or operators that were called out would be sure to have train orders not yet de- livered Perhaps some of those orders could net be delivered for twelve hours, Now. If the men would leave their posts and fall to deliver the orders. serious accidents, of course. might happen. I could not tell what operators had train orders to deliver. so I instructed all operators to turn their boards red on quitting. This would force the train men on every train to st0p at the sta tion and make sure there were no or- ders before proceeding.
 As for the report that our men have been cutting the wires. there Is no truth in it. All our men are instructed to do nothing unlawful"
