SERIOUS EVENTS STILL
 DISTURB RuSSIA'S SERENITY.

St. Petersburg, February 8, 12:15 a. m.- For the moment the startling crime in Helsingfors has withdrawn attention from the strike situation throughout Rus sia. Todays events in Poland and the Caucasus, however, are quite serious enough in themselves Disorders in the smaller industrial towns of Poland have added more than a score to the total of the killed, and troops have been sent to Warsaw and Kutno (S3 miles west of Warsaw to quell uprising there. The strike conditions In the Caucasus are be- coming worse, and traffic on the trans Caucasian railway is interrupted.
 A large nail factory in the Vassili Os- troff section was burned yesterday, and reports of incendiarism were circulated, but appear to have been more assumption that proof
 The central committee of the Russian social democratic workmens party has issued a violent proclamation which has been widely circulated in the factories of St. Petersburg, calling on the operatives to array themselves under the red flag of the social democracy and prepare for an armed renewal of the January demon strations. The proclamation bitterly as- sails church and state and the higher class and concludes:
 Tn order to gain victory we must or ganize vast workmens army Then again will we start for the palace to pre- sent our demands, not without weapons, not with ikons, and not with application but with arms in our hands, under the blood red standard of the Russian social democratic party"

ARIZONA WINS VICTORY

Washington, February 7.--(Special)- The result of the long debate over state hood for the territories is a bitter defeat for Senator Beveridge of Indiana Even if the conference committee kills the whole affair, as is not an altogether un- likely proposition, Senator Beyeridge still stands in the attitude of having failed to get through the committee report which he has so consistently fought for.
 While the Senate was about it the ad- mission of Arizona might also have been agreed to. Delegate Mark Smith and the other Arizonians are, however, feeling good over the result. While Oklahoma and New Mexico are voted in and Ari- zona stays out, they made their fight against union with New Mexico and won. Should the bill get through in its present form, the next Congress would likely wit ness the admission of Arizona.

Such Talk Meets No Sympathy
 in St Petersburg
CORRESPONDENTS CRITICAL
Men Just From Manchuria crlticise Conduct of the War, All of Which Proves Embarrassing to the
 Government.

St. Petersburg, February S. 1855 a. m.- The renewed peace talk resulting from the visits of Ambassador Cassini and Minister Takahira at the State Depart ment in Washington and the conferences of Ambassador Durand and MT. Spring. Rice, first secretary of the British em- bassy at St. Petersburg, with President Roosevelt on Sunday, finds not the slight est echo in official and diplomatic cir cles at St. Petersburg, where Emperor Nicholas oft-repeated declaration that the war must be carried to a satisfactory conclusion, remains the keynote of the situation.
 The prevailing opinion among diplomats in St. Petersburg Is that Japan and Rus sia would choose France rather than the United States when the time arrives to discuss terms of peace It is difficult if not impossible to tell when this time will come.
 The present current of press and pub lie opinion in Russia appears to be set ting towards peace. The newspapers no longer proclaim the necessity of continu- ing the war at all costs. Articles ap- bearing in the Russ and the Novo Vrey- iid over tHe signatures Ol Wel-huoW VII war correspondents, who have just re- turned from Manchuria, criticize the conduct of operations there is unmeasured terms, while the papers editorially declare that hopes of victory are remote.
 The present distress and discontent of the working class and the general desire for reform evinced by the upper class may develop a strong peace movement with which the government may have to reckon, but on the other hand, 1t i5 generally admitted that if peace should be concluded under disadvantageous con ditions 1t would materially strengthen the enemies of the present government, which will not fail to keep this fact in sight, and hope that some means can be found of reaching an adjustment satisfactory to Russia and Japan.
 This places special importance on the mission entrusted to M Admabaza, dlrec- tor of the committee on the far east, who is believed to have gone thither in order to report to the Emperor the possibility of reaching a compromise with Japan without material prejudice to Russla's in- tereStS.

ADRIFT AT SEA
 IN RAGING GALE
VESSEL FOUNDERS AND CREW PUTS OFF IN TWO BOATS WITH THERMOMETER THIRTY DE- cREEs BELOW ZERO.

Halifax, N. s., February 7.-During 0 raging gale and binding snow storm which has swept the Nova Scotia coast for the past twenty-four hours, the steamer Damara of the Furness line ran on the rocks at Mudquodoboit, thirty miles east of Halifax, early today, and 1t iJ believed to have foundered with the loss of many lives.
 The first officer of the ship, with eigh- teen of the crew, escaped in one of the life boats and landed at Pleasant Park after terrific struggle with wind and sea. The captain, Gorst, master of the Damara, four passengers and the rest of the steamers crew left the vessel in another lfeboat. They have not been heard of since, and 1t is feared they have perished. The occupants of the boat which reached shore were nearly exhausted, and many of them were badly frost bitten.
 They had narrowing experience, being in the darkness for hours in the open boat in tremendous seas, under trech- erous wind and with the thermometer go degrees below zero and an Arctic blizzard raging. The wind tonight was of shore, and if the missing boat has not already swamped 1t has been driven seaward many miles and is now probably adrift on the Atlantic in the worst weather of the season.
 Tugs were dispatched tonight to search for the boat and to locate the hull of the Damara. The Damara left Liverpool January for Halifax.
 New York. February 7.-The Damara was a schooner-rigged iron steamer of 1l46 tons net She was owned by c. Fur ress Withy & Co., of Glasgow. and was built in 1885 by A. stephen & Sons of Glasgow. .

cULLOM FOR RA1E RELIEF

Washington, February Z-(SpeciA.) IA delegation of Washington negroes ap- peared before the House committee on in terstate and foreign commerce this morn- ing in advocacy of the Morrell bill pro- hibfting discrimination between passen- gers upon trains engaged interstate com merce on account of race color and pro- viding penalties for violations of the law
 officers and employees of railroads who make such restrictions or aid in their perpetration are to be punishable upon conviction by a fine of not more than $5,00O and by imprisonment for not more than two years either or both in the dis cretion of the court.
 Kelly Miller was the spokesman of the delegation and he versed the protest of the people he represented with much con- Yersatism and very considerable elo- quence.
 'The first person to be arrested for violation of this law by the Virginia au- thorities was a daughter of General Rob- ert E. Lee, a man whom all the people of this country regard and whom the peo- pie of the thirteen states that have passed discriminating laws hold in espe- cial reverence. The next person was a French scholar, who after visiting the President, desired to pay visit to the tomb of the father of this country. Both of these were white people and both were unintentional and go to show that these laws and these conditions the brunt of which falls today upon the colored peo- pie are equally inconvenient to both 1aces." The committee took the matter under advsement.
 CulIom Favors Measure.
 Senator Cullom favors the Townsend bill for the regulation of railroad rates and believes that the Senate should take 1t up just as 1t comes from the house and enact it into law without amendment of any kind. He expressed himself today to the Illinois congressional delegation and the members of the Illinois Manufac- turers association, who are here urging legislation. Senator Cullom said that time does not remain for satisfactory amend ment in the Senate at the present session and that 1t is better to take the judgment of the house than to call Congress back In extra session to enact railroad legis- lation.
 Unreserved indorsement of the repub- lican party measure does not enter into the position taken by Senator Cullom. He said he is not ready to declare the bill perfect, but as the House has given the question thorough consideration, and as the Senate will not have time to repair the measure, 1t should be given to the country for trial. The universal demand for some legislation of this character, he said, makes it imperative that a bill be passed in the near future. The Senator prefers accepting the House bill rather than take chances of no legislation at all

It is ru- mored that some of the large New Eng land properties controlled by the Inter- national Power company will be removed to Alabama. but on this point no definite information can be obtained.

MEMPHIS HAS HARD TIME
Rain In Montgomery, Mobile and Points Further West Has Been Continuous and More Is
 Predicted.

Memphis. Tenn, February With a blizzard raging in North and East Texas and rain and sleet falling in many dis trlcts in southern Texas, Louisiana. Mis- sissippi and Tennessee, weather conditions tonight arc decidedly worse than any time since the present storm began.
 A blizzard, furious in its intensity, has been sweeping over the cattle ranges of western Texas for two days and tonight shows no signs of abatement. Thousands of head of cattle are reported to be suf- fering intensely and in many cases totally deprived of water. Cattlemen and farm CTS estimate the damage by snow and sleet at an enormous sum, while truck gardeners, in many instances, have snf- fered a total loss of tAeir early product.
 Photographic communication is badly de- moralized in all sections of the southwest, and the cities of Shreveport, Baton Rouge and Crowley, in Western Louisiana, are completely cut off from wire connection of any kind.
