Trouble Brewing In Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. A.-Dis-
patches from many cities In the south
Of Russia, as we'll as in the Caucasus
proper, make this region the center OF
interest In the strike developments,
though there have been spasmodic
strikes in all portions of Russia. The
tie-ups OF railroads radiating from
Moscow is o very serious feature of
the situation. In the Caucasus region
the authorities appear for the moment
to have regained the upper hand, but
the situation may again at any time
pass out of their control. Even the
reinforcements of the military in all
the cities seems to have been made.
quate to prev vent the continuance of
conditions tending to robbery, mur.
der and terrorism.
WARSAW, Feb. 23.-The situation
here is causing the greatest anxiety in
all circles. The assistant of the gov.
ernor general, who was interviewed
today, frankly admitted that the gov.
ernment Is at loss to know what to
do. Alarming reports are current
concerning the intention and plans of
the revolutionary party, and March 4
is awaited with much apprehension.
The strike agitationI is spreading in
every direction and bank clerks, jour.
nalists, office servants, porters, dri.
vers, stationary engineers and me.
chanics in general are all threatening
to strike. Notwithstanding all this
the stu alton in the city is remarkably
quiet.

Senator Morgan Is Sarcastic.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.--The senate
today passed the Panama canal bill
without material amendment. Mr..
Morgan offered an amendment prohib.
ting the president from filling vacan.
cies in the canal commission when
congress is not iu session and spoke
in support of it, saying that there is
no occasion for panic legislation in
connection with the canal zone, the
Spooner act aud the treaty of acquis.
ition being sufficient for that purpose.
He said he hoped the present mem.
bers OF the committee would live to
hold their places until the canal should
be completed, which would insure
their rem aiming for at least SO years.
Mr.. Morgan discussed the salaries
and emolumeuts paid to the present
commissioners, referring to their $15
per day for expenses on the 18TH
mus, in addition to their salaries.
"Considering their aptitude for taking
compensa alton, as instanced in the case
Of railroad directors, wonder that
they have not taken their lives tn their
hands and remained on the isthmus
to secure the extra $l5 per day." he
said. Mr.. Morgan declares his belief
that the canal would never be built.

Many Bodies Recovered.

BIRMINGHAM, Feb. 23.-At s clock
tonight 81 bodies had been recovered
from the Virginia mines, and the res
cue work continues. The foul odors

of the lowest level, which it is ex-
pected will require at least ten days

pumper aud his assistants. They are
covered with water and since the
pumping machinery was ruined by the

What a Stenographer can do.

"'rhe Possibilities of Stenography" is
the title of an inspiring article for girls
in the New Idea Womans Magazine for
December. The writer speaks of this
work as being "splendidly elastic"
holding out prospect to young girls,
and to girls not so young, of mounting
step by step from junior positions to
secretaryships, managerships, editorships
and the higher professions. She tells of
the young women whose stenograpy has
taken them travelling to the four quarters
of the globe or "riding through college
on typewriter "a knowledge of
stenography," she says, in closing
islands to girl somewhat MS a we'll
invested sum of money does to the in
vestor. She can use the interest at any
time to help her over difficult situation.

robust, Gear eyed maiden in her first
youth, Columbia, looks forward with
unclouded brow intent upon future
beyond the act which she represents,
placing one hand in sign of possession

France seated at her right. Simultan-
eously from her other hand she passes on
the torch of progress to her messenger
the youth of her country who with
winged feet stands ready to depart on
his mission of civilization towards the
Western sun which irradiates the sky.
Columbia is draped with the flag, chosen
as the symbol above all others, which is
recognized to the farthest limits of the
world and denotes the country where

mander of the Roumanian squadron that
the vessel he delivered to the Russian
authorities without difficulties.
T"rpedob"nt Went to Odessa.
The torpedoboat which accompanied
the kniaz Potemkine. however. left for
Odessa without slIrrenderng declaring
that she had not mutinied, but that the
kniaz Potemkine had forced her to
follow.
Admiral Kruger arrived with his
squadron Sunday morning. and after
exchanging the customary salutes init
mated that he had come to arrange
for the transfer of the kniaz Potem
kline. Admiral Koslinsky, commander
of the ROumanian squadron, boarded
the Russian battleship Tchesme and in
formed Admiral Kruger that King
Charles had ordered him to turn the
vessel over to the Russian admiral.
The Transfer Completed.
The formalities of the transfer were
completed Sunday afternoon and Ad-
mral Kruger boarded the Kniaz Po-
temkine.
A press representative inspected the
Kniaz Potemkine after the withdrawal
of the Roumanian guard. Despite the
efforts of the Roumanians to get things
in shipshape, everything aboard the
battleship was still in state of wild
disorder. The officers cabins were
stripped of everyt hing of any value and
bloOdstains were everywhere. There
was sufficient ammunition aboard the
vessel to have enabled the mutineers
to make a desperate resistance.
1t is said that during the last few
days the vessel was navigated by two
engineers and an officer with revOlverS
at their heads.
Leader Wanted to Destroy the Ship.
All of the sailors wished to surrender
with the exception of Matuzchenko, the
leader of the mutiny, who resisted for
some time and wanted to blow up the
ship.
Seven officers were prisoners aboard
the KniaZ Potemkine. They were in
pitiable condition from i'll treatment
They declare that Matuschenko himself
killed ten officers of the battleship.
All the papers and books belonging
to the vessel were destroyed
The Decision to Surrender.
It appears that the decision to sur
render the Kniaz Potemkine was made
when it became evident that no other
vessels would join the mutiny. The
crew of the pattleship seemed to be
unaware of the surrender of the Georgi
PobiedonOsetz. and expected that she
also was coming to Kustenii to capitu

brought crew for the Kniaz Potem-
kline. sailed with her for Russia Sunday
afternoon.
