Deadly Result of Riots in Russia's An

of Extreme Brutality Bombs Are
Thrown with Fatal Effect.

A dispatch from ST Petersburg says
martial law has been proclaimed at Mos
COW. Special dispatches describe des-
perate state of affairs at Moscow Satur-
day and Sunday. Many persons were
Killed or wounded ON the Tverskoy boule-
ward at the site of the monument to the
poet Alexander Pushkin. The troops
used sabers and rifles.
A pitched battle between a crowd of
strikers and Cossacks took place shortly
before noon Monday. The troops fired
three volleys at the strikers and the lat
ter replied with revolvers and stones. 1t
is impossible to estimate the number of
casualties, for as soon as the mob was
dispersed the streets were cordoned
and the dead and wounded removed and
the gates closed 1t is known that the
number Of victims is large.
After the fighting was over men. wom-
en- and children were dragged into the
projects court yard, the gates to which
were also closed. Thereupon began what
is known as giving lesson to ''intellec-
tuals." Scores were taken to "a long
stable. Along the sides We're drawn up
two lines of picked troops, mostly Cos
sacks. The victims were made to run
the gantlet There were fifty men on
each side, who brutality struck them with
whips and the butt ends of rifles.
1t is stated that a bomb that was
thrown at the game market killed twelve
Cossack patrols. 1t is feared that en-
ployes to the number of 10000 in the
great factories may join the demonstra-
ton. The populace is exasperated to the
last degree, less by the open street fight
ing than by the action of the police.
More Power than an Army.
The project has issued a proclamation
which places the police and troops in
absolute possession of more rights than
a civilized army would employ against
an enemy in time of war. In virtue of
the proclamation, the police seize any
person they please. Any pretext is suffi-
cient for arrest.
The number of strikers in Moscow is
increased by the bakers joining their
ranks. No newspapers are printed and
even st. Petersburg papers are scarce,
striking printers having waylaid the sup
plies and torn them to pieces at the rail-
way station.

MOVING The CROPS.
Problem of Astounding Magnitude
to the Railroads.


This is the season of the year when
American railroads are tax~d to their
utmost. for the autumn days are the
time when the crops are moved. Few
realize the extent of the railroad
mans problem, yet some idea of its
magnitude may be gained from a
statement of the value of the coun-
try's agricultural products. This year
the grain crops will approximate 81
000,000300 in value. a sum four times
that of the national debt. and suffi-
Gent to give every man, woman and
child in the country $50. Two-thirds
of this crop will be fed to live stock
or moved TO mills by wagons in the
districts in which it is grown, but the
remaining third will travel to every
part of the world, and it is in the NOV
ing of this part that the railroad man
finds his great task.
This year will see crops OF such size
that that part which comes to the
railroad will aggregate 100000 car
loads 81 freight, for the moving of
which at one time nearly $4,000 loco
motives would be required. These cars
and locomotives, if placed in single
train, would reach half way around
the world, and since the supply of
freight cars in the country is only a
trifle in excess of 100000, with some
thing like 1890 locomotives, one may
imagine the worries of the railroad man
in moving a single item of freight
amounting in volume TO nearly the total
capacity of the rolling stock of all the
country's railroads. To the railroad man
it is a game of chess played on board
5000 miles square, with freight trains
for pieces to be moved hither and thither
in hundred-mile jumps.
The movement of grain each year is to
the railroad what the conduct of the
campaign is TO the general Each de-
Ponds during the early stages upon the
reports of his scouts. Those of the rail-
road company form Il large corps of ex-
perts, who travel throughout the cOun-
try, estimating as closely as possible the
probable grain tonnage of each district
and the number of cars necessary for it's
transportation. Basing it's plans upon
these figures, the railroad makes ready TO
concentrate ears at points of need just as
the general concentrates his men.
The idea of the railroad mans mind
is to get the cars to the region of the
central west at any cost. Expense is
almost a forgotten item. Every one,
from the general traffic manager down
to even the station agent, receives gen
eral orders as to the disposition of all
cars. They are begged, borrowed and
bought-in fact, procured in every
possible way. Agents in their efforts
TO he 20
steal trains of 'empties' in order that
the grain movement of their particular
districts might be facilitated.

THINNING OUT The CITIES.
Rural Delivery, Which Is Expensive,
Has That Effect.

Rural Delivery, Which Is Expensive,
Has That Effect.
Rural free delivery seems destined to
entail a cost of S60000,000 a year to
he government, writes a Washington
correspondent. Legislators are not wor-
led over the necessity of appropriating
his enormous sum, however, since they
:hink that rural delivery tends to thin
out the population of the cities. ANY
scheme that works to this end they be-
iieve is worth investing government
money in.
Senators and Representatives of States
having large cities look upon this vast
for rural delivery as an in
Justice to their constituents. They in
;ist that a reasonable division of postal
revenues shall go for pneumatic tubes
and other facilities for quickening the
nail service for the congested centers. A
single building in New York City con-
.ains $500 persons during the working
day, and they are nearly all letter writ
Frs. Their average use of the postal
service probably equals that of $4,000
people in the rural counties. 1t is neces-
sary to make SO collections a day in
some of the New York buildings to get
the accommodating mail out of the way.
An inspector, DESTROYS of establishing
a rural route, has to exert himself tc
the utmost to count in 100 families which
could be served in ride of "A miles
There are hundreds of routes in opera
ton to-day for the accommodation of
much smaller number of households, and
in making rural delivery universal, with
in limits of practicability, which is now
the aim of Congress and of the depart
ment, it will be necessary to include
great many routes of considerably les.
than 100 families. 1t is generally agreei
that rural delivery does not pay" bui
this is a consideration over which the
American people lose little sleep. They
like an efficient postal establishment.
The rural delivery service should be
as near complete as, with n constantly
increasing population, it will ever be,
by 1910. To-day there are in operation
81. 796 rural routes, which cover nearly
100000 square miles. 1t is estimated
that it will take about $4,000 additional
carriers to cover the available territory
not now supplied, which amounts to
100000 square miles. When the SER
vice reaches its limit it will cost $780,
100000 per year.
Interesting information as to what
rural free delivery. along with the coun-
try telephone and the interurban rail-
road. is doing for civilization, is brought
to Washington by visiting division super
intendents and rural agents. The city.
through the three agencies mentioned
they say, is being merged into the coun-
try. Their view is that the value of
rural free delivery of mail is not to be
ensured by dollars and cents

JAP DEATH ROLL.
Mikaco's Government Reports 72,45O
Fatalities During War.


The Japanese report u. 45O fatalities
during the war with Russia. OF the
dead 46,lS0 were Killed in battle. 1Og7o
Ted of wounds, and 1890 of disease.
40 account is taken of those disabled by
wounds or disease. In war of eigh-
teen months, in which five battles indie
pendent of the siege of Port Arthur and
several naval engagements were fought,
Japan lost by death ~. $50 men.
In the Civil War, in which operations
extended over four years. the Union army
lost 81 .05S men killed on the field. 43.O12
who died of wounds. and 249.45S who
died of disease The Confederate loss
was $4,000 killed and mortally wound
ed and 59,291 by disease The several
armies were engaged in forty-eight bat
ties and in many long and exhausting
campaigns, but in no battle of the Civil
War were half as many troops in ac-
ton as were engaged at Lao Yang or
Mukden.
Satisfactory comparison between the
battles Of the Russo-Japanese war and
those of our Civil War or those of the
Franco-Prussian war of 1870 cannot be
made until reports in detail are at hand.
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. 1t is
apparent, however, that of the many
wounded larger per cent recovered
than in any previous war.
This was due partly to improvements
in surgery, to we'll organized hospitals.
and to a better emergency service in
battle. 1t was due also in part to the
character of wounds made by the mod
ern rifle fired at long range.
The observation of surgeons during
the war was to the effect that men re-
covered more rapidly from gunshot
wounds than in our Civil War or in the
FFanco-Prussian war. 1t was also CON
tended that, firing at long range, the
modern rifle was not the equal of the
old rifle in effecting permanent disabil-
ity. All these contentious seem to be
sustained by the report of the japanese
authorities.
However, the most remarkable feature
of the japanese fatality list is the small
number of deaths from disease. With
probably 100000 men in the field only
1890 deaths by disease are reported
1t is true that the campaigns were not
like those in the Civil War. 1t is true
that the 249,4 deaths from disease in
the Union army in the Civil War include
fatalities along all the short term and
unseasoned regiments that entered into
the composition of a total enlistment of
100000 men.
Yet, after all allowances have been
made, the small death rate by disease in
the japanese army must be credited to
better sanitary regulations, better organ
ization in hospitals for the treatment of
camp diseases, and better methods in
handling contagious diseases.
1t was the rule in the japanese army
to send the seriously wounded and the
seriously sick to home hospitals as soon
as possible, where they could receive the
best surgical and medical treatment. The
genius of the japanese medical staff was
directed to the saving of men, and in
both the Russian and japanese armies
the wounded were so carefully and intel
ligently treated that the majority re-
turned to the ranks in a short time. The
wonder is not that Japan lost 1000 men
by death in battle, but that she lost only
15300 by disease

Fort Hamilton and Sandy Hook.
ITO be sure a squadron could approach

''In San Francisco, particularly, where

TENS, however, Pacific coast cities will

WAGES ON THE JUMP.
Advance of Al Per Cent in 1904 Over
the Average.


Weekly earnings of all persons en-
ployed in the United States advanced Al
per cent in 1904 over the average of the
years between 1890 and 1899, according
to bulletin No. 50 of the bureau of labor
just issued by the federal government
The same report shows that the price
of food has increased III per cent.
Elaborating the figures gathered from
many industries, the document indicates
that the average hourly wage would pur-
chase At per cent more food in 1904,
and the earnings of a week would pur-
chase 0.4 per cent more edibles.
Figures gathered and compiled by the
bureau show that prosperity has not been
confined to the, owners of capital in
land and machinery, but has been dis
tributed somewhat in higher wages.
Compared with 1903, however, 1904
does not make a good showing. The
figures for the two years mentioned show
that the total number of employees de-
creased 0.6 per cent, the hours of labor
shortened OF per cent, wages an hour
increased O.6 per cent, weekly earnings
for each employe decreased Oh per cent,
the total weekly earnings decreased 0.S
per cent, retail prices of food advanced
1.3 per cent, the wages of one hour
would purchase or per cent less food,
and the earnings for each employee in a
week would purchase IA per cent less
food.
Retail prices secured from merchants
are compared with facts gathered by
agents of the bureau from 2,567 families
representing a total of 1858 persons.
The average income a family in 1904
was $S27.19, average number in each
family 5.31, annual expenditure a family
for all purposes $76S.54, and the average
expenditure a family for food alone is
given $4,000
Family expenditures for clothing
shows that the average wife spends an
nually $2603 and the average husband
spends $33.73. The children use $4S.79
in clothing a year. The amount expend-
ed by the average family for life insur-
ance is interesting in view of the recent
expose Of the uses to which life insur-
ance funds are put by managers of in
surance companies. The annual outlay
is 1914, 2.53 per cent of the entire
income. Rent takes S99.49, fuel 1929
and lighting $8.15.

Broom Corn Outnut.

Experts in the broom corn district of
central Illinois estimate that the har-
vest this year iii the United States will
aggregate sufficient material for the
making of 100000 brooms. valued at
S15,000,000 If placed in cars for ship
ment, allowing 1000 per car, it would
require 10000 cars to hold them. These
mean 200 freight trains of 80 cars each.
or about 100 miles of brooms. Central
Illinois has just harvested material for
100000 new brooms.
The aristocratic brooms which retail
for % cents or more are the product of
central Illinois. The cheaper grades
come from Oklahoma, which has just
harvested material for 21 100000
brooms Kansas produces smaller
amount. the estimate being about 1000
600. Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas and
other scattering broom corn districts will
add million to the supply. The whisk
brooms come from Kansas; the big
hrooms from the other States.
