SITUATION III RUSSIA.

A dispatch from ST. Petersburg says
that two squadrons of Cossacksyesterday
attacked 1000 workmen, who we're hold
ing a meeting at the Nevski works.
About hundred workmen, it is report
ed, we're wounded and seven CossackS
were injured by stones.
The railroad bridge across the Obvod-
nv canal at St. Petersburg has been de-
stroyed.
As the result of series of special min
isterial councils, under the presidency
of Count Witte, held to adopt measures
IN deal with the industrial and political
situation. the new national assembly
law. and laws granting practical free
dom of the press and Of speech and meet
ing. will be promulgated forthwith.
Interesting details have been learned
regarding Count Whites interview with
Emperor Nicholas last week, at which 1t
was agreed that the time had come to
limit the autocratic power and give the
people real share in the government Of
the empire. w..
The Emperor asked Count Witte to
speak frankly, and after listening to the
stateman's exposure OF the situation he
appeared to be utterly unnerved by the
deplorxble state OF affairs, aud cried out
that he was weary OF the struggle, and
felt like leaving all aud fleeing to Darn
stsdt, hence probably the origin OF the
report that the Emperor was going
abroad.
Count White, however, told the En-
peror that in his opinion not even re-
public could not save Russia from an
archy. 1t was the Emperor's duty Ia
the people and the country to face the
situation by meeting their wishes, name
ly, tn abrograte the autocrallc power
and grant a constitution BY creating
a ministry responsible alike to the
Crown and the representatives OF thu
nation.

The new ferry steamer Woodbury., built
at Wilmington, Del, for the Norfolk and
Washington Steamboat Company, will
leave Wilmington tomorrow morning
and is expected to pass this city on her
way to Washington some time next Sun-
day evening. She will make an excur-
sion trip down the river Monday morn
ing. leaving Washington at ii O'CLOCK
and this city balfan hour later. A num-
Der of invitations have been sent TO Oh
6cisls. business men, newspaper men and
Others, and all are looking forward with
pleasure to the trip.
The need of ferry communication De-
tween Alexandria and Washington mas
been seriously felt ever since the closing
of the line by the bnrning OF the ola
steamer Columbia, and the re-estaollsn-
ment of a line is looked upon with
pleasure by the entire community.
The history of ferries between Alex
andria and Maryland and Washington
rims back to the nucleus of this city. In
MAY. l74O, ferry was established from
Hunting creek warehouse to FRAZER 3
Point. in Maryland. One shilling was
charged to transport a man, woman or
horse across the Potomac. Hunting
creek warehouse was the forerunner OIL
Belle Haven and Alexandria evolved from
the latter. 10 October l74S, ferry was
established from the plantation OF George
Mason to Rock Greek, Nd, and the iare
prescribed was four pence. George Ma
son owned what is now called Analostan
Island with adjoining land on the VIZ
ginia side. I e.r,u
There appears to have been terry
line between Alexandria and Washing
ton when the latter was only collection
If hamlets containing unfinished public
buildings and dwellings. A ferry be-
tween Alexandria and Greenleafs Point
(now the arsenal grounds) existed III
1898. This was probably the hrst Terry
line that gave direct communication De-
tween this city and Washington. since
that time the ferry line had been IN
oneratiou almost constantly up to the
partial destruction of the steamer Ooium-
bia. May 10, 1908. For nearly
a century sailing vessels and horse boats
were used in the ferry service, and when
steamboats, made their appearance they
were of a crude type and made generaiiy
but one trip day, As the era OF steam
advanced more satisfactory steamers were
placed on the ferry route, among them
the Phoenix and Joseph johnson. many
now living remember the rivalry carried
ON half century ago by the owners OF
rival ferry steamers. At that time one
boat ran from the foot of Queen street.
The George Washington, Thomas COLI
yer. Union and George Page, the last TWO
double.enders, were the boats OF those
DAYS. Subsequently the Page and Coll,
yer had the route to themselves and
kept the line open up to the outbreak OF
the civil war. A ferry slip was then
built on the strand, on The ground now
occupied by tho ice chute, between King
and Prince streets, and double'end steSu'
ers. brought here from New York, ran
ON the route. There was a rival steam
or known as the Young America, tnat
arrived at and departed from the foot Of
King street. The fare on the latter was
five cents. and sometimes the douo'e-eno
steamers transported passengers gratis 10
