RUSSIAN OFFICIALS AT SKIES

Special Cable to The Sunday Star.

Special Cable to The Sunday Star
ST. PETERSBURG, March 25-Rus-
sian officials are not pulling well together
M. Shibloffsky, president of the imperial
commission of inquiry into workmen's
grievances, has frequently requested Gen.
Trepoff to release a number of imprisoned
operatives in the interest of peace, but the
governor general obstinately refuses. He
believes in making wholesome examples"
In the meanwhile the real struggle be-
tween the governing and the governed has
been transferred to a lower plane where
spies, detectives and secret agents -four
ish.. The man who fired upon Gen. Ire
poff some time ago has been induced to
turn informer, and many of his former
comrades have been arrested; but the trump
card of the police would seem to be the
playing off of nationality against nation
atty, class against class and religion
against religion. If this intention be seri-
ously harbored the results may be calami-
tous. Reasons for believing that it is
entertained are numerous. Here are a
few.
After the massacre of unarmed people in
ST. Petersburg, the police paid forty ko-
PEGS each to hooligans for breaking shop
keepers windows in order to engender
hatred of students and workmen among
the trading classes Secondly the fact
that the frightful bloodshed in the eau
cusus was caused by agents provacatures,
paid by the authorities to incite the Tar
tars against the Armenians. Thirdly, proc
lamations are now being spread broadcast
in Riga and other places exhortlng all and
sundry to follow the noble example set by
Kishneiff and Homel, and eXterminate the
Jews. These proclamations are actually
stuffed into the pockets of pedestrians;
Fourthly. several police agents, disguised
as students were discovered recently
among the workingmen during meeting
before the election of delegates, their op-
iect being to discredit the students and
to provoke strife between them and the
operatives The workmen, having severe
ly maltreated them, turned them out.

country'S stay ing power and the situation
as measured by developments. There is
something almost sad in the spectacle of
giant Russia finding difficulty in securing
fresh accommodation from its friend and
ally, France, even when willing to concede
almost humiliating terms at the very time
when it is announced in New York that
Japan has but to ask for fresh loan to get
1t, and, if the present market for its for

rates more favorable than those that gov
erned Japans two previous borrowings in
this country and England. 1t will be held
that the fortunes of war, or. to apply the
statement more directly to Russia the mis-
fortunes of war, are accountable for the
willingness to accord Japan further accom-
mediation, and the difficulty that Russia is
experiencing in securing additional funds in
France. Yet it seems safe to assume that
If the Russian budgets and the free bal

be impaired to the extent to which il is al

year of its war with Japan It's armies had
gained no experience but that derived from
constant retreat. If the free balance that
has been the chief means by which Russia
has brldged many a difficult pass repre-

Peculiar Method of Adjusting Russian
Accounts.
From the New York Times.
The strong statement made in the Ger
man reichstag recently, that If a private
individual were to act in the matter OF
meeting his obligations in the manner
adopted by the Russian government he
would be brought before the courts for
fraudulent bankruptcy. is only new way
of stating an old fact. That Russia has
kept it's financial head above water in recent
years only by constant borrowings, without
which difficulty would be found in meeting
the interest on foreign loans previously
floated, is a statement that has been made
so many times that 1t is, If not trite, at
least far from novel. England, of course. is
not the place to go for unbiased opinion as
to Russian financial methods yet there Is
something decidedly entertaining in the
manner in which some English reviews of
the Russian financial position genera lily, but
with special reference to the Russian bud
get for 1905, treat the much-ridiculed free
balance" that has been the standby of the
Russian minister Of finance at the making
up of each successive budget. With free
balance limited in amount by nothing but
the availability of foreign markets for the
fiotation of new loans, there never yet was
budget that balanced SO poorly that its
correction was anything more than child's
play.

That Uncle Sans notes stand great deal

weight of forty-one pounds; crosswise, a
weight of ninety-one pounds. The notes
run four to a sheet-a sheet being sl4 inches
wide by 1872 inches long. One of these
sheets lengthwise will suspend los pounds,
and crosswise III pounds.
II will be observed that a single note is
capable of sustaining crossWise, a weight
of ninety-one pounds. which is twice the

My Pet Aversion:
Cards.

SUNDAY FREDERICK HARRISON,
Au of Books"

Though l detest the sight of cards, l am
well aware that the habit of card-playlng
does not offend and injure the innocent by
stander as the habit of smoking tobacco
does l do not call ii vice unless 1t ends
in reckless gambling, which it often does
But il is an anti-social, facilitating form of
folly which encourages mean kinds of eX-
element "Jeune homme,' said that de-
crepit scoundrel, Talleyrand, to a young
man who declined to play with him, 'quelle
triste veillesse vous vous preparez! The
old age OF Talleyrand and of all such hoary
sinners could not be anything but triste.
Cards may have enabled him TO forget his
evil ways, but opium would have done bet
ter Life would be tolerable,' said great
and good man, IF it were not for its
amusements." He was no doubt thinking
mainly of cards, which bored him. Cards
bore me, the sight of them, the sight OF
men and women playing cards bores me.
The long gasping sIlences bore me. The
clatter when they count the points, the
quarrels, the snarls, the sneers the
chuckles, the why did you lead that
spade?'-'I knew you had the ace," Can
any jabber be more wearisome, more inane?
Men and women who are too dull to take
pleasure in talk. too ignorant to read, too
lazy TO dance deaf to music blind to art
as peasants in Italy make night hideous
with inceSsant mora.
Very Poor Fun.
The noodles who brag that smoking is
manly, like shopboys over their first penny
smoke, tell us that cards are sociable and
promote friendly intercourse. 1t is just the
contrary. Cards strange society and are
the death of any graceful amusement, be It
talk, music. play-acting. dancing cha
rades. They will say | am old curmud-
geon and so on. Not at ALI | am a par

myself at home in any company, be it a

country house or village inn, a garden
party or a farmers ordinary" Homo sum,
etc, etc. AT college | played whist, Dos
ton" we named bridge, and Van John
like anybody else, though ! always found
ii poor fun. My father and his brothers
and sisters were first-rate whist players.
l knew an old couple Who sat half the night
playing "double-dummy" together and
quarreling over it like butchers dogs.
They were both very clever, very rich with
society at their call. But they were so
soaked in cards they could not read even
newspaper; they had nothing to say to
one another or to any one else: they had no
interest in anything on earth except the
odd trick and my last trump" When
they shall hear the last trump, what sort
OF hgure will they cut? The old Puritans
and Quakers firmly believed that Satan had

of going to heaven to sing hymns, or going
to hell where cards are allowed, would fol-
low the game, even if they had to play
dummy with little devils.
From Stiffness to Crime.
OF course my TRADE against cards is
called out by the modern mania for bridge
family game of whist or vignt-et-un is
silly, but l cannot call it vice, hardly a
nuisance if it is not incessant and too irri-
tating. But bridge" has become a public
nuisance. 1t is poisoning society desolating
homes and corrupting women. Drawings
rooms, where a graceful woman gave you
5 o'clock tea. have become gloomy gambling
helfs. House parties have become ntolera-
BILE to those who are not bitten with the
fashionable tarantula. Women of cultiva-
ton who have lived in the best society will
not accept invitations to dinner till they
know they are not to be asked to sit down
to bridge. Many man or woman leaves a
country house with the sense that they
have been bored and plundered. Horrid
tales reach us of the straits to which girls
have been put when some old harridan has
got them to sit down to a game. What
happened to Elizabeth at the country places
she visited Is by no means fiction, but re-
voting fact. ] have heard real grande
dame of the old school say to a mother,
My dear, let me warn you; never you let
your daughter go to a smart country house -
Bridge" has become vice as rampant as
ever was loo in the days of Lord Hervey
and Bubb Doddington.
The Curse of the Age
A great many men and women hate
bridge. as many do not like tobacco. They
are dragged into both. against their tastes,
because it is 'the thing that they all do
now" Some women pretend to like cigar
ette because they fondly trust it will rec
ommend them to men. In the old days such
women affected a love of drink, as in our
days they haunt the paddock and the bet
ting ring. They little know what their male
Contemners think of them. Both tobacco
and cards are new habits, the fashion of
the day'-quite recent, craze grown up
In living memory. l can remember the day
when smoking was the exception-not the
rule, and never INDUCED in in public, and in
the societH of ladies. / have said all this,
because it seems to me typical instance
Of the curse of our age-conVentional habits.
The modern craze to do what fellows do, -
to wear the latest pattern of shirt collar, to
vote the ticket of the best people'-which
means the richest or the most snowy peo-
ple-"to do the right thing"-all this has
become the sole religion of the shallow,
commonplace man "in our street." or 'in
the next villa" the whole duty of man to
the average man and woman of the COM
Portable class. When men and women will
have the spirit to live their own lives and
not to copy the lives, or rather the ways,
of their neighbors, they will not think it
manly to poster their neighbors with foul
tobacco. or to ruin society by forcing their
friends to take a hand In their own sordid
tricks.

because of his activity during his three
terms in Congress.
Senator Blackburn has realized for some
time that Judge Paynter would probably
be selected to make the fight against him,
and has been organizing the state. Vari-
Gus primary elections to select nominees
for members of the next legislature are be-
ing held, and the question of Blackburn
and anti-Blackburn is being openly raised
Candidates are compelled to state whether
they will be Blackburn men or not, and is
sues are being fought out squarely on that
line. Thus far, Blackburn has a majority
of the nominees made under such condi-
tons. He has a strong following among
the hold-over senator's and among those
yet been nominated, but who will in all

Exciting Contest Predicted.

The race promises to be interesting in the
extreme. Gov. Beckham will exert every
influence in the behalf of Judge Paynter,
and will bring TO bear the weight of the
immense machine which he has built up
since he has been in office. Blackburn is
unpopular with the machine, but is ex-
tremely popular with the masses How
ever much he may neglect them while in
Office, when he comes back to the state
and meets them face to face he has ready
excuse for each failure to get bill through
or claim allowed. and in five minutes
conversation again brings the man to his
support. This is the secret of his strength.
Given time to mix among the people to
make some of his "old glory and "by the
eternal speeches. and it is a difficult mat
ter for even perfect machine to override
the enthusiasm which Blackburn can Gre
ate Therefore, while the fight will be
warm, Blackburn is already aroused, and,
resorting to his oldtime methods, has no
fear of the result. However, in Judge
Paynter he has gone up against the strong
est opposition he has had in many year.
