GERMAN STUDENTS STRIKE
FIRST INSTANCE IN GERMANY
 SINCE IS47.

Scholars of the Technical Institute of Hanover Have Support of FacuIty--
 Trouble Caused by Expulsion of n
 student - Movement for Academic Freedom Spreads 10 Universities in Other Ci-ies.
 Berlin, Feb. 22.-The students of the Technical Institute at Hanover have declared a general strike, refusing to attend lectures till the case of student who was expelled several days ago shall have been re-heard. Only three stu dents attended the lecture of President Barkhaucen to-day.
 The trouble began several months ago, when the students held an i1ldig- nation meeting about the race riots at Innsbruck university and passed reso- lutions Of sympathy with the German students there, which were telegraphed Ito Innsbruck The president Of the i Hanover institute eensured the students and the committee they had elected to represent their interests, for what is re tE ESsAANtId RthlllGeLt dllQ #YdEIOuS steps led to an order dissolving the ] committee and the expulsion of it's chairman, Heile. When the latter left ] Hanover the students gathered in a
 body at the railway station and gave lshim a great ovation. Speawers declar- led their fellowship with Heile and de- icidad to strike. Their latest step has been a petition to the emperor for an audience in order that they might ex- i plain their side; of the difficulty. The 1 faculty has also been petitioned by the students to grant re-hearing in Heile's case 8%
 To-day the students in body made an excursion to HiIdeschim as for nal expression of the abandonment of their relations with the Technical Insti- tute.
 It is said that this is the first in- stance since 1847 that the students of any institution in Germany have 1 struck. The students in this instance had the support of 2 part of the fac ulty. | A committee of professors has been appointed to try to restore anicable re- lations. The committee is composed 1 largely of professors who are in sym
 pathy with the students, and some of 1 whom think President Barkhaucen and the senate should resign as the first step towards peace. The students of other universities,
 making common cause with the Hano- verians, have started a movement in
 behalf of academic liberty,'' which is spreading rapidly. ~. %e A meeting was held several nights ago of students of the Berlin university to discuss the Hanover. case and de- clare for academic liberty. Several pro- fessors were present and gave their support to the movement.
 Tn the Diet on Tuesday a prominent national liberal member gave notice of
 his intention to bring the matter up for discussion at an early date.

Warsaw, Feb. 22.-Traffic on the Vii enna railroad has been recently sus- pended since early this afternoon, the
 entire force of employees including tel
 egraph operators having joined in the
 strike. Not a single train is leaving
 Warsaw's great terminus, which is
 guarded by a strong force of gend-

 bring for opportunities to leave the city. Two regiments of infantry are guarding the interior of the station, the yards and buildings Chiefs of the engineering department acting as fire men and engineers attempted to run trains into Warsaw from outside points, but none succeeded in reaching the city, having been held up some where along the line. The telegraph and telephone services also have been stopped ! The strike originally was planned to
 begin March l, but the men learned of the intention of the authorities to pro claim the entire line under martial law and hence determined to strike to- day. s5 1 It is feared the employees of the Wis tula lines between Warsaw and the
 Austrian frontiers will also go out.

BRITISH MINISTRY IS

Government Compelled to HurriedIy

 Chief Secretary for IreIandis BIunder
 Again the Subject of Spirited Discus
 sion-Point Gained by the Irish but
 Division Supports Ministry 2e5 to 22s- | London, Feb. P. 22.-Encouraged by the reduced government majority in the division in the house of commons last night, the Irish party unexpectedly re- turned to the attack to-day more fierce ly than eyer. Immediately after the opening of the days session John Red- mond gave notice of a motion to ad- journ in order to. discuss the conditions under which Sir Antony Mcdonnell holds the post of under-secretary to the lord lieutenant of Ireland. This move came as a surprise and caught the gov ernment off it's guard. The speaker set debate on the motion for the com mencement of the night session. It had been expected that the debate on 4tLI-l zANbtlbiI IHG attention oe his majesty to the condi- ton of the army, showing negligence and misinanagement by tho minister's which came up this afternoon would oc- cupy two days. A number of unionist members, taking advantage Of this absented themselves. MT. Redmond's s tactics caused q great scurrying by the whips and much upsetting of arrange ments
 The debate lasted till midnight when motion to adjourn was defeated by a vote of 265 to 223; but MT. Redmond scored a point by compelling MT. Wynd- ham (chief secretry for Irelandl to read the correspondence between himself and Sir Antony MacD Donnell, by which it was shown that the under-secretary was given extraordinary powers and authorized to arrange for coordination in the control and direction of boards and administrative agencies. It was also shown that Premier Balfour had concurred in this arrangement.
 MT. Redmond referred to this inci- dent at question time this afternoon. The nationalists were heckling Premier Balfour and MT. Wyndham in an effort Ito extract further information as to how far MT. Wyndham was involved in what he has termed the under-secre- tary's 'indefensible' course, when MT. Redmond, turning to MT. Wyndham, shouted: You might as we'll tell the truth at oncel'
 Mr Baffour Immediately raised the point of order. The speaker ruled that the remark was offensive and Mir. Redmond promptly apoiogized and ex. plained that lie had not meant to imply that untruths had been told. but that the whole truth had not yet been told and that he did not want to be obliged { to rag it out pieee-meal. Repeating his apology, Mr Redmond said the gov I3ernment was withholding facts which he proposed to force them to relate. It

TALK OF PEACE.
Hopeful Opinion in Paris of St. Peters
 burg Reports.

Paris, Feb. 22-Russia has not given any indication to France that she is ready to take up the question of peace, and therefore the authorities here do not feel qualified to discuss the St. Petersburg reports goving the precise terms.
 The peace sentiment has lately been steadily increasing throughout Russia, particularly outside of St. Petersburg, and within recent days some of the most influential persons in St. Peters burg have come out in favor of peace and have sought to impress responsible officials that the time has arrived to take definite action. However, those having the chief responsibility, such as Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, have noL yet shown willingness to accept peace arguments. Therefore, so long as the Russian foreign office is not prepared to accept the peace view, it is eonsid- cred doubtful of accomplishment. In spite of this, the St. Petersburg reports are considered to be a hopeful sign of tendency in the highest quarters to- wards peace.
 The Japanese legation points out that peace negotiations require certain definite steps between the parties, and as Russia has not yet made the slight est overture to Japan concerning terms Russia is not in a position to elaborate pacific conditions. The officials of the 1nc.fion incline fn =fha Viaw that the ST. Petersburg reports were designed to sound official sentiment in Japan. What Tokio will say is not known. .r -.

INDIGNATION or BRITIsH PRES
Strong Chord Sounded in This Norm ing's London Papers.

London, Feb. 23.--A strong chord of indignation is sounded by the London daily newspapers this morning over the semi official statement relative to the decision of the North Sea commission giving to Russia the victory, but it is still hoped that the publication of the full text of the commissions report may modify the impression produced by the preliminary version, which is one of in- tense disappointment.
 The Daily Mail goes so far as to de- clare that the decision has dealt a death blow to arbitration. Some of the news papers blame the government strongly for ever consenting to subject such a matter to arbitration, while some of the government organs find cold comfort in the fact that the country by doing so avoided war with Russia. No question } is raised that the denlision must be re- spected and Great Britain's share of the heavy cost will be ruefully paid; but it is considered that the decision leaves the question of a neutral right on the high sea in a deplorably unsatisfactory state, and creates a dangerous preee- dent. s
 s The Morning Post says: "A new dog ma of international law is thus estab- Iished under which the commander of 8 belligerent fleet may attack and destroy neutral Aunarned vessels without. any other plea than that he conceived his ships might be in danger. This doctrine is so monstrous and inconceivable that we can only yet hope the official report will give different reading"
 Just before parliament rose last night, replying to the question whether any precaution to protect the fishing fleet on the Dogger bank during the passage of the third Russian Pacific squadron had been taken, Premier Balfour said that his majesty's government placed ina- rlicit reliance on Russian assurances that they had taken every precaution to prevent a recurrence of any such in- cident. and that special instructions had been issued to the whole Russian fleet with this object in vieW4

 Alleged misunderstanding.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 22.-7:15 p. m.- It is explained at the foreign office that the departure from San Francisco of the three officers of the Russian cruiser Lena was owing to a misun, derstanding. They had signed a parole not to leave San Francisco without permission of the President of the United States or until an arrangement had been made between the two gov ernments. Subsequently when the final agreement between Russia and the United States regarding the Lena was reached the officers supposed they were free to come home.

 Washington, Feb. 22. .--After 3, brief but spirited debate, the house today sent back to conference the army ap- propriation bill. All senate amend Iments again were disagreed to, with the single exception of one appropri- ating $s5,000 for continuing the cable from Valdez to Seward, Alaska. There was renewed discussion of the provi- sion regarding retired officers on duty with the militia of the several states, the name of General Nelson A. Miles once more figuring conspicuously in the debate. Determined opposition de veioped to a motion by MT. Anles of Massachusetts to agree to the senate amendment on that subject, which is favorable to the retention of full re- tired pay by General Miles and other officers of high rank serving with mil itia organizations. 4s5
