AMONG THE RAILROADS.


We are not inclined to view with
much charity the "born kicker" but
feel like people who have to travel up
and down the Nashville branch of the
railroad have just cause for kicking
with present train accommodation.
The passenger train Monday morning
with about thirty passengers up that
road left Rocky Mount at IL o'clock
instead of $3.50 o'clock as it should.
This seems to us inexcusable Passen-
gers reached Nashville at 1 o'clock or
later. We say this seems to be mex
cusable because the train was delayed
to make up freight train which could
have been done earlier, it seems to us.

senger agents, representatives of com
mercial bodies and others interested
in fostering travel. Fisher Harris of
the Salt Lake Commercial Club has
sent the following letter to s. F. Dut-
ton of the Albany hotel explaining the
gathering:
THE movement, am glad to say, is
well on its way toward success. Ar
rangements have been completed for a
conference to be held in Salt Lake be
ginning at 2 p. m. Tuesday, January

mary work necessary has precluded
the possibility of holding this confer
ence sooner.
The conference will be attended by
the governors of those states west of
the Mississippi river. general passen-
ger agents of the railroads operating
in the interested section. Representa-
tives of commercial organizations and
public spirited citizens of the more i'm

BIG LAND FRAUDS.
Alleged to Have Been Praetieed IN
Northeastern Colorado.

Denver.-The Republican says. Gi-
gantic land frauds in Washington.
Morgan and Yuma counties have been
unearthed by the federal grand jury.
and as a result of these frauds, by
which the government has been de-
frauded of thousands OF acres of land,
seven of the most prominent. men of
northeastern Colorado have been in
dicted. The frauds are asserted to
have been carried on for years, and the
chief reason that many others have
not been indicted is stated to be that
the statute of limitations works in
favor of those under suspicion.
II is claimed that the government
has but just begun the work. and that
before 1t is through more than score
more will be indicted for their con
nection with an alleged conspiracy.
The grand jury which returned the in
dictments has been discharged. but II
is probable that another will be sum
moned to probe further.
The men indicted are Peter Camp
bell. former register of the United
States land Office at Akron. three
counts for perjury; p. L. Beeney,
county treasurer of Washington
county, two counts for perjury: A. A.
Mexican, clerk of the District Court
of Yuma county. nine counts for for
gerry; d. w. Irwin, politician, five
counts for perjury; f. G. Stoner, a
ranchman of Otis, Colorado, one count
for perjury; w F. Buell.. hotel proprie
tor, Yuma, Colorado, one count for per.
jury; o. p. Smith. n ranchman OF
Otis, one count for perjury. Capiases
have been issued in all of these cases
and have been served and the men
placed under arrest.
The system, through which IL is as
serted the men indicted operated, Is
said to have been worked chiefly en-
timber culture claims. In the vicinity
of Akron and Wray. years ago, entries
were made on what We're known as
timber culture land.
1t is asserted that these claims
after having been practically aband
oned, were proved up fraudulently al
the instigation OF the men who have
been indicted and for their benefit

and bases dis conclusion on state
ment that English women nowadays
read only the lighter forms OF fiter-

generally. Their grandmothers. he de-

GREAT MASS MEETING. !.
Presases Bloody Revolution in St.
Petersburg.

st. etersburg-Realizing that any
attempt to interfere with the monster
meeting at the university would inev-
itably lead to bloody outbreak, Gen
eral Trepoff, who announced during the
afternoon on Thursday that he in
tended to prevent the assembly, in
structed the police TO close their eyes
to the fact, and the meeting which was
attended by between $4,000 and 90
900 persons, passed off without a con-
fict.
The scene inside the university beg
gars description. In the great open
air court with no light except few
flickering candles on a hastily-con-
structed tribune, from 1000 TO 5000
workmen, students and professional
men stood wedged together in the cold
and wet snowfall, listening to revolu-
tionary harangues.
Another meeting was held in the
= central hall of the university and
scores of smaller meetings of the sep
arate trades and professions were held
in the other rooms of the building.
Halls were set aside for teachers, phy-
sicians, bank clerks, Journalists, print
ers, chinovniks. pharmacists, women,
engineers, lawyers, tailors and persons

room was even set aside for non-com-
missioned officers of the army, but
only half dozen of these were pres
ent.
In all the sections a strong minority
urged conservatism, but these were
carried from their feet by the general
enthusiasm, and resolutions for gen.
eral strike in every branch of social
democracy was adopted with hur
rah.

of the Emperor's council today said

not way out of it except by employ

prospect with tears, but it is becoming
more and more evident that the troops
will be compelled to fire. i can see no
other possible outcome. The revolu-
tionists and terrorists are absolutely
bent on forcing a conflict with us, and
nothing we can do will satisfy them.
The extension of suffrage and the right
of assembly will be nothing to them.

shed. and we cannot avoid the issue.

REARs ITS HIDEous HEAD IN
RussiA's CAPITAL.
CAR SHUT UP IN PETERHoF
Government May Be overthrown.-

Municipal Council Demands Polit-
icai Reforms.

st. Petersburg.-while the day
passed quietly without bloodshed in
the Russian capital. and while the city
is outwardly calm, developments all in
dicate that a crisis is imminent Al
though the streets are filed with
troops and reinforcements are now
pouring in from Finland, the govern
Elent seems utterly powerless to cope
with the situation and many calm OBJ
servers seem to believe that the pres
ent regime is tottering to its fall.
Differences have developed between
Count Witte and General Trepoff, and
while the precious moments pass. the
emperor, surrounded by the imperial
family, remains shut up at Peterhof,
seemingly still hesitating as to what
course to pursue. Grave doubts are
expressed as to whether even the i'm
perial guard can now be relied upon.
Discomfort is rife. Early this morn
ing the Fourteenth and Eighteenth
equipages of sailors of the guard who
have been shut up like prisoners in
barracks on the Moska canal, de-
molished the windows and furniture
and in the afternoon a detachment
consisting of four officials of the guard,
fient to the lawyers assembly and told
IA barristers that many of the officers
~ large part of the troops were
disgusted with the government and
were ready to enlist in the movement
for freedom.
A meeting of the municipal council
was held this evening at which depu-
tation of thirty members of the strik-
ers committee appeared. In an i'm
passioned speech the leader of the
deputation presented the following
demands of the workmen and affiliated
organizations:
"First-A constitution and political
liberty.
"Second-That the city furnish food
to the worlzmen.
"Third-That the city refuse fur
ther supplies to the troops and the
police.
"Fifth-That the troops be removed
from the water works or otherwise the
strikers would cut off the water sup
ply.
"Fifth-The immunity of the depu-
tation from arrest"
The council granted this last de-
mand and promised an early reply to
the other demands.
The foreign embassies have dis
cussed the situation, but have as yet
taken no steps regarding the safety of
foreign residents. AS a precaution the
State Department at Washington has
been requested to confer authority for
the charter of a vessel and to hoist
on it the American flag as a refuge
for Americans.
