outside the city and cut number of
telegraph wires.
Warsaw, Feb. 24.-The situation
here is causing the greatest anxiety in
all circles. The assistant to the gov
ernor general in an interview frankly
admitted that the government is at a
loss to know what to do. Alarming
reports are current concerning the in
tention and plans of the revolution
airy party, and March is awaited with
much apprehension. The strike agi-
tation is spreading in every direction
and bank clerks, Journalists, office
servants, printers, drivers and station
airy engineers and mechanics in gener-
al are all threatening to strike. Not
withstanding all this, the situation In
the city is remarkably quiet.
The Vienna railway is still COM
pletely at standstill and there ap-

able to find solution. They will re-

Western Poland Isolated.
Western Poland is completely cut
of from communication with Middle
and Western Europe, except by tele-
graph, no malls are arriving or de-
parting, the authorities apparently
preferring to hold mails rather than
send them by circuitous routes.
Commercial interests and private in.
dividuals are much inconvenienced.
The city is threatened with a coal
famine, the entire supply of coal com,
ing from the district of Dombrov over
the Vienna railroad.
The governor general has offered to
supply military men to work the trains
but this is impracticable as the strik
ers have destroyed switches. Many
through passengers from Moscow anG
st. Petersburg are detained here and
great quantities of perishable goods
from France and Italy are being ut
terly spoiled by the delay.
A telephone message from LODI

creased It is feared that the improve
ment Is only temporary.

Thanks to Prof. Moore-Prof. Moore
of the Bismarck public schools, is en-
titled to the thanks of the city in
which he fills such a leading and use
full place, for his enterprise in supply
ing entertainment TO rthe public in the
way of lectures. He was rarely fortu-
nate in securing the distinguished
Nebraskan in addition to the regular
numbers of his course. To Mr.. Moore
the members of the press in particu-
lar are indebted for his courtesy in
providing seats at the lecture. Not
every one running a lecture course
would have thought of such cour-
tesy, and few who, even though they
had been old press devotees, would
have been so generous. The boys will
be sure to remember the professor if

Besides making a general price on
sugar tor all houses, the association,
through Manager LoveIand, wants
urayage rates enforced. one of the
clauses in the agreement between the
wholesale gracers which they are re-
quested to sign, when joining the or
sanization, is that they must charge the
retail grocery for urayage, should the
load consists Of sugar. This clause was
easily and automatically arranged, how
ever, in the past by the travelling sales
men who represented their individual
houses. On selling bill If goods TO a
retail grocer, either in this city or in
the retail settled his bill this item was
put at the bottom of the column. When
the retail settled his bill this lem was
stricken off at the same time that credit
was given for the usual discount.
That the grocery trust" will not
hold out long is t., general opinion in
the wholesale district Of Front and Bat
terry streets. The attempt to sell sugar
at a uniform figure has never in the
history of the trade worked successful
ly. When a retail grocery house de-
cues " Duy d Jill Oh BOOuS from JOD-
Der or wholesale firm, the first question
asked him is what price he will sell
sugar at. TIL temptation among the
/ travelling men is great to grab every
order they can and as a result a cut in
sugar is made if the salesman thinks
that his house can sell the sugar with
out the detection of the trust" The
Isalesman's manner of cutting the price
of sugar is to bill it in the ordinary
way, and enclose in the same envelope
credit or rebate slip.
Another weak point in the trust" is
the fact that all the big corporations
that are big consumers of groceries buy
all their goods in the market by bids.
These bids are all sealed and only op-
ened by the officials of the corporation
who have charge Of the commissary de-
partment Should one house bid under
the trust" price and be awarded the
contract on this account for the whole
list of supplies, none of the other houses
would be the wiser. 1t is generally sup
posed that it was on this account that
the trust" became demoralized several
months ago and went under.

WHOLESALE
GROCERS IN
LINE AGAIN
MEMBERS ONE BY ONE ARE FL
NALLY BOUGHT TO IETHER-
FIX HIGHER RATE ON SUGAR.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 25.-"The
sugar combine" is on again. The Pa
cifc Traffic and Commercial Associa-
ton, better known as the Wholesale
Grocery Trust" was whipped into line
yesterday by H. d. Loveland, manager
Of the trust.
Several months ago the combine was
demoralized, One by one the wholesale
grocery houses dropped out of the as
ISOLATION. Those that remained in and
paid dues disregarded the signed rules
of the combine. Since that time every
grocery house in the city had been SELL
ing sugar at cost or at light margin.
Manager LoVeland made every effort to
get the wholesale grocery firms to rally
round the flag again. And we'll he
might, as he saw grave danger that his
$4,000 a year salary might go a-glim-
mering. But yesterday saw the climax
of the managers efforts.
On August 22d a communication was
sent out from the headquarters of the
Pacific Traffic and Commercial Assoc
citation offices, at 456 Montgomery
street, stating that from August oath
until further notice, sugar must be sold
by members of the association at plus
10 cents the refinery price
A list accompanied the communica-
ton, giving the firms that had decided
to again allow Manager Loveland to
dictate the future destiny of the whole
sale grocery business. With the excep-
ton of Tillman Bendel & Co., Suss-
man & Wormser and NJ Ehrman &
Co., all the wholesale grocery houses
had been persuaded to return to their
old tactics.

The departure of Admiral Nebogatoff's $
division of four battleships, one cruiser
and two auxiliary cruisers from Libau
yesterday. to reinforce Vice-Admiral Ro-
jestvenslxy's squadron, now on the way
to the far east, is a source of gratifica-

difficulties caused by the strike. The
point of rendezvous with Rojestvensky is
not given, but 1t is said to be beyond the
Indian ocean, Vice-Admiral Rojestyensky
being under instructions not to delay into
the monsoon period the resumption of his
cruise.
Along the Hun river the booming of
heavy guns is sounding the overture of

STOESSEL DEFENDS
HIS LATE ACTION
Attributes Japanese Success to the
Superlative Quality Of Their Duel
Ing Tools-Forts Temporary.

London, February 16.-The correspond
ent at Port Said of the Standard gives
an interview with General Stoessel, chiefly
denying the charges made by the Pekin
correspondent of the Times concerning
the surrender OF Port Arthur, and its de-
fendabe condition. General Stoessel at
tributed the japanese success In great
measure to the superlative quality Of
their drilling tools. as compared with
those of the Russians. The general en-
phatically declared that all the public de
fense of second line of forts were very
ordinary. He says these forts were only
temporary defenses.
General Stoesse further declared that
the strength Of the garrison never
amounted to 25.0O0 men. At the end Of
April, before the Investment became total,
the Russian forces on the kwan Tung
peninsula, numbered only 1858 men. He
adhered to the original reasons given for
the surrender, and throughout the inter-
view appeared to be bitter whenever the
navy was referred to.
