ST. PETERSBURG. November 1.-THE
declaration OF martial law throughout Po-
land is evidence of the determination OF the
government to try to nip in the bud the
movement TO regain the autonomy which
the kingdom of Poland possessed under the
constitution which was suppressed after the
revolution of 1858 The ease with which
the Firms, striking at the opportune mo-
ment, compelled the government tn make q
complete surrender encouraged the Poles 10
attempt a similar strike. and the govern
ment has received adyices which leave no
doU1t that broad conspiracy was organ
lied TO attain this end.
The leaders Of the moyemen, propose TO
adopt the tactics followed in Finland. The
government viii resist to the utmost.
Count Witte himself believes that If the
government is forced a this juncture TO
grant autonomy TO Poland IL might mark
the beginning Of the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
empire. The hope of the government is
that the Poles are striking too late, as
the railroads throughout Russia lave re-
sumed operations and the trans pOrtatlOn OF

DRIVES GIRLS INSTEAD OF OXEN.
Wealthy Russian Works Lands with
Peasant Women Yoked to Plow.

The following report from Orel were
we'll nigh incredible if the Orlovski West
mix did not, in earnest and indignant
terms, vouch for it's complete accuracy.
A young and wealthy noble land own
er in the district of Yeletz is in the con-
slant habit Of driving about his estate in
a light victoria in summer and an ornate
sleigh in winter, drawn by four peasant
girls, yoked two on either side of the
shaft
The brutal driver guides his slave
team, with which he exchanges no words,
by reins attached to the girls arms,
and, when necessary, the eXhaustively
tagging human cattle are stimulated by
something more than a cracking flourish
Of the horsewhip.
During the last season, the local jour
nal adds, this mobiles arabic lands were
mostly ployed and narrowed by peasant
women yoked in place of oxen, only two
being allowed to each pillow or harrow,
both implements being Of light American
structure.
These white slaves are, with few ex-
ceptions, unmarried girls, the daughters
or sisters Of the land owners peasant
tenants.

Fleet Near Java.
Amsterdam, April 10.-A dispatch to
the Handelsblad from Batavia, Island of
Java, says that a Russian squadron is
near Muntok, and that it is expected to
arrive at Batavia today. Another tele
gram from Batavia says nothing has
been heard there of the japanese squad
ron. The Dutch East Indies squadron
is now at Tujo island, near Singapore.
The battleship Hertog Hendrix of that
squadron is at Singapore.
Neltevreden, Island of Java, April TO-
1t is reported that the supposed Rus
sian warships sighted off Muntok are
really the ships of the Dutch squadron,
which has left its former anchorage
under secret orders and is now steaming
north.
There are two Muntoks in the East In
dies, one comparatively near Batavia and
the other far distant from that port. To
reach either of them it would seem that
the squadron referred to may have entered
the Java sea through the Straits of Sunda,
though it is possible that part of the Rus
sian squadron which passed Singapore Sat
urday may have turned south when out of
sight of land and have reached Muntok,
on the island, of Banka. off the southeast
coast of the island of Sumatra and some
$50 miles from Batavia. The second Mum
tok is situated at the extreme northeastern
part of the island of Celebes, and 1t is too
far away to enable a squadron there to
reach Batavia under about five days.

WORLD UNDER WAY.
Remarka BILE Steel Structure to Span st.
Lawrence River at Quebec Is
1900 Feet Across.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, April S.-A

the st. Lawrence river at Quebec is a
remarkable structure. The weight of
this bridge is about $4,000 tons.
It's span of 1900 feet crosses the entire
river at such a height as not to interfere
with navigation, and will be the longest
in the world, the Forth bridge in Scot
aand being ITO feet long, the Brooklyn
bridge 1850 feet, and the new East river
bridge in New York 1900 feet. There
have been manufactured and partly
shipped to the site of the bridge, about
10000 tons of steel.
It will take about two more years to
complete the structure. The masonry
piers are entirely finished, and the tenn
porary false work, of steel, are now in
place on the south shore, upon which
erection will begin at the opening of
spring this year.
The 1900 feet of steel bridge work be-
tween the piers will be erected without
any false work in the river. The bridge
is to be 80 feet wide over ALL carrying a
double track railroad. a double track
trolley and highway, and two sidewalks.
Tn total length of the bridge will be
1900 feet length of channel span, 1900
feet; ship clear Roadway, $50 feet above

TEACH TO RUN AUTOS.
Three Schools Established in Austria
Hungary to Promote Welfare of
Chaffeurs and Builders.

Vienna Austria, April S.-With the
more general use of automobiles in Eu-
ropean countries the desirability of Civ
ing special instruction and training to
chauffeurs and others concerned with the
manipulation and construction of auto
mobiles has been considered by the di-
rectors of technical schools.
Already there are two special courses
of instruction provided for AUTOMOBILE
ism, one at Aschaffenburg, Germany, and
the other at Brussels, Belgium. A third
school is to be established in Vienna next
October, in connection with the Technolo-
gical Trade museum, which is the most
advanced trade school Of the city.
1t is proposed to provide two courses,
one for chauffeurs and the other designed
more particularly for the education of
mechanics in the construction of auto
mobiles. There will be both day and
night courses.

GOLDEN SILENCE is TRUMPS.
Will Save Many Quarrels and Difficulties
of Life.

Golden silence would save many a
quarrel and difficulty in the game OF
life. The woman who can gracefully
say the right thing i'll the right place is
often commended; but the prize ought to
go TO the one who leaves unsaid the
nasty criticism or smart unkindness that
comes to the thoughts of most OF us now
and then. That needs real effort.
''If you have claim to make against
another player during the game saw
plainly what it is for. Don't only shout
dozen offenses." Wouldn't that rule put
a stop to scandal if we applied it to the
game Of life? First, we must not speak
to the detriment of another player unless
we have a claim to make, a right to.
speak, so that the trouble can be rec
titled. Then we must be definite. There
are plenty Of people who won't repeat Il
scandal except by implication. This rule
will have nothing to do with them. a
meaning smile, a shrug Of the shoulders,
a vague accusation are of no use here
Don't speak against another unless there
IS grave occasion, and then, if you must,
speak plainly.
In the game of life, too, readiness to
take Offense is the most disagreeable
fault. 1t is a form Of selfshness and
vanity that everybody despises and few
people are entirely without. We would
not worry half as much about the mis-
takes and misdoings of other people II
they did not affect our own important
selves
Even if your opponent is willfully i'm
peding you, you have no right to behave
in a manner likely to do him injury
SO say the football rules, and we will not
be less gentle than they.
