EYES ON MOSCOW.
Regarded AS the Storm Center of Dis
turbances.

t~urDanCeS.
MOSCOW-There is complete tran
guilty within the boundaries of this
city, but the people are keeping in
doors owing to the official warning.
The strike is spreading gradually. but
thus far is confined to the smaller
mills. The larger industrial concerns
are being guarded in order to prevent
the men employed there from being in
Inundated; but it is the belief hat the
strike will become general. There are
no troops in sight in the city proper.
Probably there will be no papers to-
morrow. The citizens are alarmed at
he prospect of an eruption of condi-
lions of thousands of workmen and de-
mand the proclamation of a state of
siege. The Moscow garrison is no more
than 10000, but the authorities con-
slider that this is sufficient for present
needs and evidently are inclined to
avoid bloodshed if possible. They de-
clare they have the situation well in
hand.
Captain Grove, the British consul,
has called upon M. Roudneff, the as
sistant police master, who is acting in
he absence of Chief Volkoff, and re-
guested an explanation of the posted
telegram from London, alleging that
the disturbances at the Russian dock
yards and arsenals were due to Anglo
Japanese ~instigation, that both Great
Britain and Japan are spending vast
sums of money to prevent the Russian
second squadron from reaching the
far east, and adding that "all Russians
who strike are therefore in conni-
vance with the enemy"
M. Roudneff produced the original
telegram in evidence of good faith.
Captain Grove stated that he would
report the matter to the embassy at
st. Petersburg, as he considered that
the posting of the alleged kilograms
imperiled the lives of subjects of
Great Britain who are employed in
factories here.
M. Roudneff assured him that there
was absolutely no cause for apprehen-
sion, but assumed the responsibility
for the publication.
M. Roudneff also offered Captain
Grove personal satisfaction in a resort
to arms.
General Trepoff's appointment to
the governor generalship of st. Peters
burg was a surprise here. 1t is rumor-
ed that Minister Sviatopolk-Mirsky
may be appointed governor general of
Moscow.
A squadron of Cossacks this even
ing dispersed about 5000 workmen
who were growing obstreperous across
the Moskva. No fatalities are reported.
This was the only event Of the kind
during the day.

in part: | cannot close these brief
words of comfort without bearing NY
personal testimony to the lovely Chris

severe and eXhausting illness. You
who knew her as a neighbor were
deeply drawn toward her. In the

Passenger and Freight Collide. None
Injured. Eight Cars Demolished.

The Burlington train No. 5 and
a freight smashed together in
head-on collision yesterday after
noon at $50 o'clock. The acct
dent occurred On the curve just
west of town where it was impos-
slble for the engineers to see a.
head. No passengers were lnJur-
ed and no damage done to the
coaches, the passenger engine had
pilot and headlight knocked off,
Eight freight cars were telescoped,
derailed and crushed, one box car
falling across the Irrigation canal
so that the water had to be shut off
to prevent break. All the cars
were loaded, two being fiat cars
loaded with lumber and coal and
s box cars loaded with miscellan-
eous freight It was exceedingly
fortunate that no enc was injured.
The freight was shut off and slow
ed down on the hill by a signal
from Geo. Crutcbheld who was
working on top of his house and
could see both trains approaching
each other from his position. The
passenger was running slow On
account Of the steep grade and
came to complete stop before they
struck. Had the freight been run
ming at the speed the trains usual
ly do down the grade many lives
would have been lost and Kenne-
wick would have been a hospital
last night. The passenger crew
received a train order at Pasco to
meet the freight extra at Kenne
wick but forget their order and
pulled out with above results.
Trainwrecking crew with crane
No. I6 was at Connell and vefy
soon arrived On the scene and I'M
der management of Division Supt.
Beamer and the trainmastsr, began
clearing track about S 80 and at
1880 everything was clea and
passenger No. 4 was the first train
through, Nos. I, No. IS and Nc.
5 west bound, went through in
rapid succession. Many residents
of the garden tracts and some of
the school children saw the trains
strike and say it was a spectacle
never to be forgotten. The freight
will be gathered up today and a
gang of men are at work clearing
the debris from the right of way
and all is over except the claims
for damages.

ODD BITS ABOUT TIGERS.
Easy and Independent Life CT the
Big Cats Near the City OF
Annoy, China.

Amoy is an island city on the China
coast. near ,Formosa There are noun
tains west of Annoy and according to a
correspondent there are tigers III them.
.These tigers lead al easy and 1ndepen-
dent life in the caves and dens which
abound. They come out OF these every
evening just as the shadows creep over
the land and the blue mists rise from the
lower ground and hide the hills. Then
the Inhabitants get within their houses
and keep the doors between them and
these savage brutes. Many poor wom-
an. coming with water from the well.
or a farmer, delayed too long IN the
fields, has fallen victim to them. Inc
nights are spent by tigers in foraging
and the foxes and wildcats that roam
the hills and the dogs in the villages be-
come their prey.
There is nothing. however, that gives
the tiger such supreme delight as the
capture Of a good-sized pig. They are
truly Chinese in their tastes in this re-
spect. One of these animals will go at
a steady trot with dead pig thrown
over its back up the sides of steep hills,
jumping over huge powders and TAX
ing cross cuts over the most inaccessi-
BILE ground. The physical strength OF
a tiger is something enormous, and its
capacity for devouring large quantities
OF food is scarcely less amazing.

STRIKE IN THE HENNERY.
Arbitration Committee Worsted in
Argument on Merits Of
the Case.

Once upon time (very recently q
hen went upon a strike and refused to
lay Other hens followed her example,
and the scarcity of hen fruit which
resulted caused eggs to retail for some
thing like SO cents per dozen. says the
Boston Post In other words, strictly
fresh eggs laid by scab hens were
worth about five cents each in the
SHE'LL Even cold storage eggs which
were deadly explosive and had to be
handled with care brought so cents.
The people got together and remon-
strated with the hens. but it did no
good. Finally an arbitration commit
tee waited on the hens and tried to
persuade them to go back to work.
The arbitration committee pointed out
that only the rich could afford to eat
eggs, but the hens refused to return
to work The arbitration committee
then told the hens that il they per-
sisted in the strike they would bring
race suicide on themselves.
Then wise old hen arose and spoke
as follows:
"In the spring when us hens wish
to sit the people give us porcelain
doorknobs to sit on. If the porcelain
doorknobs are as good as eggs to sit
on, they ought to be as good to eat
as eggs. Tell the people to eat porce-
lain doorknobs.
The arbitration committee could not
answer this argument, and departed
In tears.

before the Birmingham university IN
which he claims that gymnastics are
injurious. Prof. Muirhead OF the same
university has enlarged on Prof.
Mosso's theory and has made sweep.
ing condemnation Of gymnastics.
Prof. Mosso by a series OF e1perl-
ments with an instrument called the
Ergograph contends that he has estab-.
Ushed the fact that the brain IS
brought into operation by every act Of
physical exertion, and there is strain
imposed upon this organ by physical
exercise, mental study and the play OF
the emotions. Prof. Muirhead, taking
Mosso's experiments as basis, de-
clares that gymnastics are the most ex-
haustive and demoralizing kind OF ex-
ercise that could be engaged in. His
contention has aroused quite feeling
and his position has been severely as
sailed by the advocates of gymnastic
training of scholars. In defense OF his
theory. Prof. Muirheao says:

A travelling man who makes Kan

cafe of one of the large hotels one day

his waiter. "Se that man at the next

The waiter nodded assent.
"That's DR.. Alonzo Tubbs, the Mis-

all tipping" The waiter grew inter-

'Well, amt dat too bad" he said.
"Ah's been waitin' on him, too.
"Well. you won't get any tip there,

"Ah suttingly treated him right, re-

Future of Manchuria..

Writing of the probable developments
In Manchuria when the present war in
the east shall have closed, a critic says:
First of all, Manchuria, with its vast
capacity, is but sparsely peopled. There
fore. the immigration Of Chinese into
Manchuria, too long discouraged by Pc
king. will be utilized to create mighty
barrier against future aggression from
the Amur, in the shape of multitudes Of
stalwart yellow men. Had this been
done long ago, Russia, in place of des-
erts. empty steppes and great, lonely riv-
ers, would have been met by a teeming
population, which would have made it
impossible for it to push southwark to
Port Arthur
