REFORM FOR RUSSIA
Emperor Selects M. Saburoff
For Senate Conference.
STRIKES IN POLAND STILL SPREAD
Country Yet In Ferment-Martinl Law
mt KaIisE, Radon and siedIec.
LamsdOrn Disavows Moscow's
Anti-BritIsh PIacnrds.

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. Gan i'm
periaI ukase has been issued appointing
NJ Saburon, member of the council
Of the empire, president of the special
conference to debate the committee OF
ministers proposals for reform of the
senate and for the framing Of laws for
the local administrative courts. The
emperor expresses desire for the
speedy conclusion of the labors of the
conference.
Worllmen to the number Of 1000 in
the car shops here have drawn up a
manifesto disclaming the delegates
who were put forward as representing
them in the deputation which visited
Emperor Nicholas at Tsarskoe Selo.
They assert that these men were Sc
lected by the employers and were not
representatives of the wOrkmen. The
employees Of one or two other factories
may follow suit, but the workmen in
general are inclined to stand by the
deputation.
There were a few slight collisions be-
tween Lessner's workmen and the po-
lice guarding the factory today. Po-
land, however, continues to he the
storm center of the disturbances.
Though the strike has ceased in some
establishments ii has assumed more
important phase by its extension to
the great coal mines and sugar fac
tories, and three more governments
have been placed under martial law.
Police and Cossacks have had TO break
up a number of demonstrations and
quell disorders, but as yet there has
been no repetition of rioting on the
scale of the first collisions.
Strikes in Tifiis and other parts OF
the Caucasus are frequent, and the
present one does not attract much at
tention except as bearing on the gen
eral situation in Russia.
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff in an of
fetal note to Sir Charles Hardinge, the
British ambassador, has formally dis
avOwed the action of Deputy Chief Of
Police Roudneff of Moscow in posting
placard asserting that the strikers
We're assisted with money from Japa-
nese and British sources with the pur-
pose OF crippling the arsenals and
other government works.
Lessner's torpedo factory here. en-
plOying GOO expert filters and brass
workers, has been closed because Gov
crnor General Trepoff ordered the dis
missal Of the whole staff of the COR
Germ for tearing down posters Of the
emperor's recent speech to the work
mems delegation and because the man
ager was unable TO replace these men.
The works are strongly guarded by
police.
The state of siege is still maintained
here, and the streets are being pa
trolled 10y military. All travellers are
carefully scrutinized Thirty strike
leaders. mostly foreigners, have been
arrested.
The strike movement in Poland has
spread TO the governments of Warsaw,
Petrikau. Kalisz, Radon, Lublin and

ed in Kalisz. Radon and Siedlec

Cold Air for Nervous People.

Cold air is most beneficial to ner-
vous people. The oxygen in the air
burns up the poisons which irritat.
the nerves, and the person is relieved.
When one is tired, he gets rest quicker
by breathing fresh, cold air. Weari-
ness and exhaustion are due simply to
ar scc-l~~rl"+ :~- # rn'eons and other
waste matters generated by work and
retained in the body, and these are
burned up by the oxygen taken in
through cold air. The lowered tenn.
perature causes condensation of the
air so that the amount Of oxygen per
breath is increased.
This purifies the blood and stores up
energy in the nerve centers. The cold
air cure is the best of all tonics for
nervous folks. Strychnia and all the
rest of the so-called tonic drugs are
simply nervefoolers. They do inch-
culable harm by insidiously undermin-
ing the system.

SUGGESTS FOOT BALL CHANGE
Nova Scotia Man Would Have New Zealand
Game Adopted
NO HOPE TO AMEND THE PRESENT RULES
American Game Has Been Specialized
and Any Radical Alteration
VIII Only Result in
Its Destruction.
NO HOPE TO AMEND THE PRESENT RULES

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.--English Rugby,
not 1t is played in England or Canada,
but the style of game adopted by the ex-
ponents of the sport i'm New Zealand. is
suggested as a substitute for the game of
American foot ball in letter addressed
by Prof. ]. Edmund Woodman of Dali
housic university Halifax, n. s.. to the
conference of colleges now considering a
revision of the game. The New Zealand
game, Prof. Woodman declares, while de-
void of practically all the objectionable
features which have brought the American
game into disfavor, possesses much of what
is good in nearly all forms of the sport.
He directs attention particularly to the
absence Of what he calls mob tackling.
with the consequent mob instinct which II
arouscs among the spectators"
The game also would. he says, give live
illness, greater variety of possible plays and
strategic situations and few delays by rea-
son OF injury to players. It's advantages to
the players in addition to these points,
would be great probability of a scarcity of
serious injury, game as intense and call
ing for nearly as much evertion, without
the exhaustion following the American
game, a greatly decreased cost TO players
and clubs alike. the requirements and the
development of certain fine qualities not
called out by the other game, especially
quickness of individual judgment and ex-
ertion.
In suggesting the substitution OF Rugby
Prof. Woodman says that this plan seems
to him to be the only possible solution OF
the present trouble. He believes that any
attempt to radically revise the present
American game would only result in its
destruction. 1t is essentially specialized
game and he believes il would be impossi
BILE 70 successfully despeciallze IT, To abol
ish foot ball entirely he believes would re-
suit only in i'll, ir that it would merely
bottle up the energy OF the men without
providing a counter outlet Slight changes
in the game would result in no permanent
good, Association foot ball Prof. Wood
man declares to be beyond consideration
