before selecting me? I should he ex.
tremely sorry to have any suggestion
OF professionalism attach itself to the

selection, and should like to have the
manager and the captain understand
that am quite ready TO withdrn "

Machinery Tones.

Engineers judge Of the condition of
their machinery by the tone 1t gives
out while running. Every engine,
whether stationary or locomotive, has
particular tone OF Its own. The en-
gineer becomes accustomed to that,
and any departure from 1t ut once ex.
cites a suspicion that all Ii not right
The engineer may not know what IL
the matter; he may have no ear for
music. but the change In the tone Of
his machine will be at once perceptible
and, being instantly recognized. will
cause him to start on an immediate In
vestigation.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 22.-Thls
has been a day of unspeakable
terror in St. Petersburg. The
strikers Of yesterday, are in a
state of open instruction against
the government.
A condition almost bordering
on civil war exists in the terror
stricken Russian capital.
The city is under martial law,
with Prince Vasilchikof as COM
mander of over $4,000 of the EN-
peror's crack guards.
Dowager has hastily sought
safety at Tsarskoe Selo, where
Emperor Nicholas II is living.
Minister of the Interior Svaltc-
polk-Mirsky presented to his
majesty last night the invitation
of the workmen to appear at the
Winter Palace this afternoon and
receive their petition but the
EN- peror's advisers already had
taken a decision to show a tlrm
and resolute front, and the En-
peror's answer to 100000 work
men trying to make their way tc
the palace square to-day was a

them with rifle, bayonet and sa'

500 KILLED OR WOUNDED.
The figures of the total killed
or wounded at the Moscow gate,
at various bridges and islands
and at the winter palace, vary
The best estimate is 500, al
though there are exaggerated
figures placing the numbers as
high as five thousand. Many
men were accompanied by their
wives and children, and in the
confusion, which left no time for
discrimination, the latter shared
the same fate.
The troops, with the exception
of a single regiment, which is
reported to have thrown down
its arms, remained loyal and
obeyed orders. But the blood
which crimsoned the snow has
fired the brains and passions
of the strikers and turned wo'
men, as we'll as men into wild
beast; and the cry of the infuriat-
ed populace is for vengence.
The sympathy of the middle
classes is with the workmen.
