POLES LOOK FORWARD
TO FREEDOn'S TIME

WARSAW, Russia, Feb. 1.-The
correspondent Of the Press today had
an interview with a member OF the
Central committee Of Polish commit.
tee of Revolutionary societies In the
course Of which the Polish revolu ton
lists committeeman asserted that the
new phase Of the trouble Is new re-
sistance to Russian domination. He
said:
1.-The uprising In Warsaw and the
rest of Poland marks q new phase OF
our resistance TO Russian domination.
Hitherto the Nationalist and Socialist
parties In Poland have been combat
ting each other more than they have
fought the St. Petersburg bureaucracy.
We have formulated a truce and es.
tablished q new party called the Pro-
gressive National party, whicd will
conduct joint propaganda. We are
not ready yet to make strong resist
anoe. We have simply seized the OPP
portunity caused by the strike at st.
Petersburg to foment disoord here. and
indicate to ourselves where our mach
inery does not run smoothly.
Il anticipate an almost immediate
collapse of the strike. for We have bad.
ly frightened the authorities and have
compelled them to augment the ordin-
ary Warsaw garrison of 80, 700 men by
| 80, 900 more.
I'VE cannot gain anything by pro-
longing the conflict. Orders will short
| ly be issued for its cessation.
Most of the casualties Of the past
few days have not been among our fol-
lowers but among roughs who were
seeking plunder.
1--WE have temporarily abandoned
the struggle for full M stionsl independ-
enoe, formulated on Friday. The fol-
lowing however. are a new series Of
demands which have been sent to the
authorities:
First. The introduction of the
Polish language In the government
courts and schools.
Second. The abolition of the priv
ileges of those who are not Poles.
Third. The abolition of restrio-
tions to Poles throughout Russia.
"Fourth. Liberty Of association,
speech aud worship.
Fifth. The involibility Of domici.
les.
Sixth. Amnesty to political pris-
| oners.
Seventh. An autonomous govern
ment for villages and cities.
Eighth. Compulsory free educa-
| ton.
I've hope some of these demands
will shortly be accepted.

The river Is sublime no matter when

to catch a glimpse Of the yellow food,
yelled by rain or glistenins in the sun

times the river moves so smoothly and

WHEN FORKS WE'RE NEW.
How Their Use Impressed q Lady the
First Time She Saw Them.

First Time She Saw Them.
A lady who saw forks used for the
first time at a dinner OF Henry III. OF
France records her "impressions'' OF
the occasion. Henry had In 1874 been
rendered a magnificent reception In
Venice. At this entertainment forks
were used. The royal guest observed
them with much interest and immedi-
ately introduced them to the French
court.
1t seems from the account Of the Ia.
dy, who had never used them before,
that some others were in the same prs.
dicament She writes:
They never touched the meat with
their fingers, but with forks, which
they carried to their mouths bending
their necks and bodies over their plates
There were several salads. These
they ate with forks for II Is not con
Bidered proper TO touch the food with
the fingers. However difficult It may
be to manage 1t, It Is thought better to
put the little forked instrument in the
mouth than the fingers.
The artichokes, asparagus. peas and
beans were brought II was q pleasure
TO watch them try to eat these with
their forks for some. who were less
Rdroit than the others, dropped as
many on their plates and on the way
to the mouth as they were able to get
to their mouths.
"Afterward a great silver basin and
pitcher OF water were brought, and
the guests washed their hands. though
Il seems as II there would not be much
scent Of meat and grease on them, fol
they had touched their food only with
| those forksd instruments"
