NO GENERAL STRIKE.
But Workmen Hope for Sympathy
From the Cossacks.

st. Petersburg (via Edytkuhnen,
East Prussia) having pre-
vailed over the fury aroused by the ar
rest of the strike leaders, the work
mems council has rejected the PROPOSE
ton to order general strike at # r.
ent as untimely, and has decided Fat
the workmen should bide their time
patiently until all the preparations are
complete.
The council realized the weakness
and unpreparedness of the wOrkmen
for general conflict and had been in
formed that the railroad men had al
ready decided against strike.
The remnants of the labor and So
cialist delegates held a secret meeting
in the hall of the economic society at
an early hour Monday morning, de-
clined to accept the challenge of the
government and adopted resolution
against the arrest of NJ. krustaleff,
president of the executive committee
of the workmen's council, and the
other st. Petersburg leaders, which it
was pointed out was only of local i'm
portance and did not furnish cause for
general strike.
The resolution, however declared
that 1t was the sacred duty of all
workmen to carry on the work begun
by the arrested leaders by equippins
and preparing the fighting legions of
workmen for an armed uprising, add
ing:
IN the name of the future proleta
riat, we refuse to name any active pro
test at present"
A triumvirate hereafter will guide
the workmens council. The govern
ment Saturday arrested the most
brainy men of the organization and the
remaining delegates not having suf
ficient confidence in any of their num-
ber, chose an executive committee of
three to guide the policy of the coun,
Gil until events bring forth a worthy
successor to NJ. Krustaleff.
The sentiment of the workmens del
egates, which was extremely de-
pressed. has been somewhat raised by
the receipt of dispatch from Moscow
claiming that the revolutionary prop
aganda has finally taken root among
the Cossacks, the last hope of the re-
action.

They Came From Missouri.

Last week there was at Nogales a
man from Missouri, with a family con.
sisting of wife and six small chill
dren, who surely belle the well known
Idea that Missouri "have to be shown" :"
He had sold everything in his native
state and started for Sinaloa without
having ever seen or known anything
of the country, save that he had read
about cheap land and fertility of the
soil He didn't know where it was, or
where he was going, or what to do
when he got somewhere: and. more
over, could not speak word of Span
ish Here they were dissuaded from
going and went to California instead
Before launching out with family
into foreign land one would think it
the part of wisdom to send someone
ahead to view the country and report.

WALSH ON SUGAR TARIFF.
Would Protect Colorado Beet Sugar
Producers.

Washngton-In lengthy interview
IN the Washington Post. Thomas +.
Walsh enters a protest against re-
duction of the duty on sugar imported
from the Philippines, stating that such
reduction would ruin an established
industry of Colorado. Among other
things Mr.. Walsh said:
THE arid section of Colorado has
been found adapted to the culture of
sugar beets. With the application of
water to this land under the national
irrigation act, one of the greatest acts
of craftsmanship accomplished under
our broad-minded and far-sighted Pres
ident, the people of Colorado will fur
nish an outlet for a great population,
and the cultivation of beets for sugar
will enable thousands of American citi-
zens to establish homes of their own.
That is what is now being done in Col
orado, and the industry is in its in
fancy. People have gone in there at
the suggestion of the government.
planted beets provided to them by the
Agricultural Department. and started
great industry.
There was an implied, if not an eX-
pressed. promise that they were to be
protected in this new industry. Yet
it is now proposed to place them in
competition with the poems of the Phil
ippines, at the most critical time in the
history of the industry
IF the beet sugar industry is pro-
tected against this danger it will soon
be able to furnish cheap sugar to the
people of this country, making home
market for home labor and consequent
prosperity for all. There cannot be
trust in sugar if the beet sugar indus
try is permitted to grow. as it will
with irrigation of the western arid
lands. 1t will become as standard as
the growth of wheat or cotton, and no
trust can dominate it

Return of Professor CARLYLE.

w. l.. Carlyle, dean of agriculture al
the Colorado Agricultural College, has
returned from California, where he
considered an offer of $4,000 a year to
manage the Spreckels estate and live
sock interests. At the chapel service
Professor Carlyle announced his deter
mination to refuse the tempting offer
and remain with the college.
In his present position Professor
Carlyle gets only $4,000 per year and
his refusal of the California offer is
due to his intense interest in his pres
ent work and to his great faith in the
future of Colorado live stock and Col
orado agriculture The three months

tic sciences established by Professor
Carlyle and now having its first test

HOW TO PRoLoNG LIFE.
Testimony Of Healthy octosenarian

Our vegetarian friends are getting
fat, healthy and saucy. They eat no
meat and wax strong, and in athletics
they win prizes. The other night the
London vegetarians met at Memorial

meeting bore the legend: Not too old

were gathered seven other octogen.

He drew a vivid contrast between veg.

Of eighty, said he never sat down al
the "groaning board" laden with meat
dishes but that he felt as if in pill

seventy-two years, some cigars which
he essayed at the tender age of eight
years effected a permanent cure of the
tobacco habit for him. II I arose Mr.
T. A. Hanson, aged eigAty-seven, a
younger looking man, and related that
when seventy-two years he broke

prevent the bone from knitting. But il
did. and the injured leg is now the bet

RYAN TEST|FIES
OWNER OF EQUITABLE STOCK BE-
FORE THE COMMITTEE. -
HARTMAN MADE THREATS
Senator Dryden Tells Of Contributions
to Republican Campaign FundA
Five Thousand Dollars Paid to Leg
islative Agent.

New York-Thomas F. Ryan ap-
peared before the insurance lnVestlgat-
ing committee Monday and told what
E. II. Hartman did and threatened TO
do when he demanded that Mr.. Ryan
concede him a share in the control of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
last June. MIR. Ryan assured the COM
mittee that he had meant no dlsrespect
by his former refusal to disclose their
conversations, and said that he had
determined to answer the questions to
which he had refused replies Friday
last because District Attorney jerome
said he ought to do so.
Mr.. Ryan's version of what Mr.. Har-
riman demanded and what he threat
ened to do upon the refusal of his de-
mands was in substance as follows
That Hartman demanded One-half of
the 502 shares of the stock of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society
which Mr.. Ryan had purchased from
James II. Hyde and which gave Mr..
Ryan control of the property. That
Hartman threatened, unless he was
conceded this share in the control of
the society, to exert his political and
all other influences against Mr.. Ryan
and his project. That Hartman de-
clared there probably would be lcSis-
lative action and that in that event his
influence would be important. That
Hartman demanded the right to name
two OK five trustees to vote the con
trolling stock in the election of direc-
tors of TIE society.
United States Senator John f. Dry
den of New Jersey, president of the
Prudential Life Insurance Company of
America, was on the witness stand all
the remainder of the day. He testified
that his company paid $4,000 to the
Republican national campaign fund in
1896, 1900 and 1904. 1t also paid $4,000
to Andrew Hamilton, formerly the
New York Lies agent at Albany.

about five miles northeast of Neder.

be the charred remains of man.
Only the fact that it was known that

near by led to the identification of the
body as that of Spratley. He evidently
had been thawing out dynamite, which
exploding, tore his legs and forearms
