st. Petersburg, Jan. 30.-New compli-
cations between Great Britain and Rus
sia are feared on account of the attack
on the British consul and vice consul
at Warsaw Saturday night. Coming on
the heels of the placards posted by AS
sistant Chief of Police Roudnen at Mos
COW, charging Great Britain with incit-
ing the revolution in Russia, the War
saw incident is likely to arouse an out
burst in Great Britain, which may again
strain relations between the two coun-
tries.
Beyond the fact of the attack at War
saw, resulting in the WOunding of the
British vice consul who is in a hospi-
tai, the British embassy here has no de-
tails Of the affair, but Sir Charles Hard
inge, the British ambassador has al
ready delivered a note to Foreign Min
lister Lamsdorff asking of an immedi-
ate investigation and explanation, re-
serving any claims which may be here
after made and at the same time ask
ing for the protection of British consulS
throughout the empire BY the first
train he also dispatched Major Napier,
the British military attache, to Warsaw
to secure full report of the circum-
stances.
Count Lamsdorff replied to Ambassa-
dor Hardinge'S note on the subject of
the Moscow placards by saying that in
structions had been sent to remove all
traces of the placards from the streets
1t is now learned, however, that similar
notices had been posted at Libau and
Reval which led to a renewal of repre-
sentations on this score. In this con-
nection the appearance of the Holy
Synod instructing the orthodox priests
to inform their parishioners that the
strike and revolutionary movements
were prompted by the external as we'll
as internal enemies of Russia with the
object of embarrassing the military and
naval plans has created something OF
a furry among foreigners here, espec-
object is to incite hostilities. No furth-
er action, however, has been taken by
either Ambassador Hardinge or the
other foreign representatives
Private advices from Warsaw say the
authorities there have already taken
charge of the waterWorks, electric light
and gas plants and that serious trouble
is anticipated.
Strike Continues at Warsaw.
Warsaw, Russian Poland, Jan. 30
The streets have been quieter since
yesterday but the strike continues IN
full swing A proclamation has been
issued declaring that the condition of
the city requires additional protective
measures without differentiating be-
tween those who are forced out
against their will and those who are
precipitating the strike. The men. it
is added, must return to work uncon-
ditionally-
SoIicitude a Little Late.
ST. Petersburg jan 30.-The No
yosti saws Secretary Hays note on the
subject of China will be interpreted in
different ways
I'VE cannot say the paper adds,
that it promises the belligerents
agreeable prospects. If other cabinets
come to an agreement with Washing
ton it may happen that neither Rus
STA nor Japan will get the slightest ad-
vantage from the war. Other powers
are prepa ring to set up claims in case
peace is declared. These powers have
a n
serve China's integrity and neutrality
under any circumstances. Their solicit
tude comes a little Late
Strike Is Ended.
ST. Petersburg, Jan. 3O.-12:2S p.
m.-Most of the factories and mills of
St Petersburg are in operation today
and the strike to all intents and pur-
poses is ended. A few large estab-
iishments have not yet fully resumed
operations owing to the official
formalities necessary in registering
their thousands of employees. Some of
the WOrkmen at the PutOlOff works |
asked for the celebration of a religi- |
Gus service by the Metropolitan of St. |
Petersburg before resuming work, $50 |
as to remove the effect of the presence |
of the unfrocked priest ana excom-
municated leader, Father GopOn. |
Some social democrats are protesting |
against the arrests of Friday and Sat |
urday on the ground that the action |
contained in the proclamation of the
authorities.
The manufacturers association will
meet this week to decide the ques- I,
ton of paying the wages of the strik- /
ers for the time the latter were not
at work, but as a number of the
works have already paid their un-
skilled Iaborers whose pay day was
January 2S, half or full time, the rest
of the employers will probably decide
to pay their workmen at least part of
their wages for the time they were
on strike.
Run Down by Cavalry.
London. Jan. 30.-The foreign Office
has received a telegram from Consul
General Murray at Warsaw, reporting
that himself and Vice Consul Rucukain
were charged by Russian cavaIrymen /
engaged in clearing the streets of War
saw It appears that Mr.. Murray is
partially deaf and probably did not hear /
the approach of the troopers and when
he subsequently endeavored to make his
personality known it was without avail. |
The foreign Office has teIegraphed to !
Ambassador Hardinge to make urgent
representations at st. Petersburg on the !
subject.
