never know that I'd touched him. He's
got short, light colored fringe that
plays around under the rim of his hat

st. Petersburg, Jan. 24.-The most
startling feature in the situation is the
news that several factories in Moscow
have closed and that the workmen in
the old capital of Russia are repeat
ing the tactics Of their fellow work
men of the new capital, marching from
shop to shop and mill to mill, demand
ing that the establishments be shut
down. The whole city is reported to
be in a state of great excitement over
the news of the bloodshed here, which
has precipitated Immediately the strike
that had been planned for tomorrow.
Rising at Moscow Is Feared.
Moscow has more wOrkmen and less
troops than st. Petersburg, and be-
sides is just now the heart of the lib
eral movement, and the danger of
blOOdier occurrences there than have
been witnessed here are propOrtionate-
ly greater. a rising at Moscow is also
more likely to have greater results in
dustrially and politically than that in
st. Petersburg.
Other Cities Joining the Movement.
According to private reports the
workmen i'll several other big cities,
notably Kharhoff, where large locomO-
tive works are located, already have
completed plans for general sus;Jen-
sion Of work. Moreover. reports are
current that the wOrkmen, who other
wise would soon be forced back into
the shops Or starve. have received as

ment. If the strike becomes general
all over Russia, and especially if the
railroads are drawn in, ii might i'm

Reports Declared Exaggerated.
The situation appears grave from ey-
cry standpoint, but the authorities. al
though apparently somewhat bewild-
cred, declare their purpose to stand
firm, maintaining that it is their first
duty to preserve order. scouting the
idea of actual revolution. Seemingly
the minister's are most concerned over
the effect of the present situation

ated reports create false impression.

When a member of the firm went
to the store Sunday he found the safe
door ajar and several of the cash and
check drawers broken open and
checks litterins the floor.
A hasty examination disclosed the
extent of the money loss and it was
clear that the burglars entered by a
rear window alongside the safe. This
window is never used and has been
kept fastened by nails partly driven
in on each side of the top of the low
er sash.
1t is said that four men boarded the
early west bound train here Sunday

be on their track but up to this time
no arrests have been made.

familiarized themselves with the lay
of the land and that they were not

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Jan. Ia
With no session of the Legislature

wherein men here could read the

expressions of satisfaction heard to-
day from the State solons the rec
concentrations of the cEief executive
have met with most fiatteringS res

1t seems TO be quite the concensus
of opinion on the part of these mem.
bers who have expressed themselves
that beyond strengthening and round
ing out the new tax laws there should
be no more tax legislation at this SEES
sion.
Governor White in his message
notes that the new laws will provide
sufficient additional State revenues
to more than make good in 1905 and
1906 the losss to the State caused by
the reduction of the State tax during
these years.
AT the end of this time a tax of /
per cent. on incomes of railroads and
pipe lines, an inspection tax on coal
mines. as suggested by the governor,
and in which suggestion Governor
elect Dawson, 1t is understood. fully
