Much Depends On Naval Battles.

st. Petersburg, April 24.-Not on
ly the future of the war in the far
east, but the fate of the whole pro-
gram of internal reform to which
Emperor Nicholas stands committed
appears to await The issue of the
sea battle between Rojestvensky and
Togo.
The government undoubtedly
would be greatly strengthened, at
least for the moment, by a victory
decisive enough to change the war
situation. The liberals are impa-
tient at the delay and suspicious of
every move of the government. They
are convinced that If victory comes,
the bureaucracy. to which the realiza-
ton of reforms has been consigned
by the emperor, will be able, despite
the clamor throughout the country.
TO keep the execution of these re-
forms i'm their own hands, which, of
course in their opinion would mean
their eventual dissipation in a laby-
rinth of endless commissions.
Should Rojestvensky be defeated,
on the contrary, the liberals believe
that the bureaucracy would .capitu-
late. and peace and constitution
would come.
Large reinforcements of troops.
and especially of Cossacks, have been
brought to st. Petersburg. Arrests
and searches of the lodgings of sus-
poets continue, but even General Ire
poff. although he is taking every
measure of precaution, does not seem
to know exactly what to expect. That
he anticipates trouble and bloodshed
is apparent from the fact that he
has notified all manufacturers to
guard against incendiarism, and
warned every family that women
and children must remain off the
streets on May day.
Although disorders more or less
serious are anticipated everywhere
Poland and the Baltic provinces
probably are the storm centers. Gen.
Maximoviteh, governor general of
Warsaw. has just returned to his post
after a conference here, clothed with
almost dictatorial powers, All the
Polish cities are now in a state of
minor siege: but the governor gener-
al is authorized to declare martial
law. and ample troops will be furnish
ed to him.

Nailed and Expired.

Trinidad. Colo, April 24.-At
Torres, Colo. II several Trinidad
eyewitnesses are to be believed, a
member of the Penitentes religious
sect died upon the cross Friday. He
had permitted himself to be nailed

was nailed, but he died shortly af-
terward from exhaustion.
In former years people familiar
with their oHstoms say Penitentes Of

the cross. but in recent years the on
ly case heard of is that reported to-
day.

tons today, which, is the hottest

among thmselves not to give out the
details. At Long canyon large par

and carried a thorny cross up a
stony hill barefooted.

On Sunday. October, 16, 1904, the
New York Herald printed an inter-
esting page article called forth by
Mr.. Jefferson's announcement of his
retirement. This article closed with
the following characteristic express
slons by the reverend old gentleman
which he himself declared was his
message to the world.
"You have decided, then, Mr.. JEFF
ferson, to retire permanently from
your profession?"
Eyes. have quite decided not to
act again professionally"
"Well, that would not bar you, I
in the great cause of charity?"
THAT. of course. might happen.
The man who has styled himself
star and gathered enough golden
rays to light him to the end should
not refuse his services to help those
of his craft who are declining in the
dark-those, for instance who are
thrown upon the charity of the ac-
tors fund at the close of their work
ing days. No emolument is received
under such circumstances by the
player. and so II cannot be called
a professional appearance.
From the stage, therefore. l have
retired permanently"
There was pause OF several sec
onds as II a prayer were being said
in the heart, while far on bells were
slowly sounding-"and the greatest
of these is Charity"
"And what have you to say of
your art as a whole?"
IL don't know that l can talk
largely about II just now. For my
self | have always been a reverent
student of art. She must be served
with care and consistency, for she is
Jealous and will not be sighted,
and II she is she takes dreadful
revenge. She must not be deserted
on she repays desertsrs with obliy-
ion. | always respected my art. and
can do no better, per haps. than
to ask all men and women on and
on the stage to respect Il, for Il Is
human nature aiming at the best.
