Lodz, Russian Poland, Feb. GA few
factories were enabled to partially re-
sumo work today through the return OF
some of the employees. The majority of
the strikers, however, are still out, and
attempts were made to prevent workmen
from returning to their employment.
Soldiers guard the factories and do not
permit malcontents to enter.
Several conflicts occurred between Cos
sacks and strikers at the Geiner factory,
where the latter sought to intlmidate the
men returning to work. A Cossack and
a workman were killed and fifteen strikers
were wounded.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 6.-Telegraphing
under date of February 5th, General Kur-
opatkin reports as follows:
"a Russian detachment marched to
Santaitse, twelve miles southwest of Sibon-
bay. The Japanese at Santaitse and
Saodemeng were repulsed. The Russian
losses were Insignificant. The japanese
assumed the offensive along the line to

batteries advanced, but the Russian ar
tillery repused them."
SECOND DIVISION OF THIRD SQUADRON.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 6.-The dock-yard
authorities at Cronstadt are completing
the preparations for active service OF the
battleship Alexander III, the cruisers
Pampat Azeva and Admiral Korniloff and
the gunboat Grozjestchy, which, with the
new baitleship Slava, will form the second
division of the Third Russian Pacific
Squadron. These reInforcements are ex-
pected to sail at the end of May.
The Admiralty confirms the Associated
Press statement that the first division Of
this squadron will leave Libau in the mid
die of February, but it is pointed out that
Admiral Roiestvensky will be unable to
await its arrival because he will have to
cross the Indian Ocean before the Mon
soon season which begins in March and
renders navigation impossible for torpedo
boats, small cruisers and coast defense
vessels.
Admiral Rojestvensky will proceed to
the Far East at the end of February, after
the arrival of Rear Admiral Botrovosky's
division.

PEACE TALK REVIVeO.
Would be Welcomed by Russian Public
France Would be lntermedlsr.

st. Petersburg, Feb. THE renewed
peace talk finds not the slightest echo in
official and diplomatic circles at st. Peters
burg where Emperor Nicholas oft-re-
peated declaration that the war must be
carried to a satisfactory conclusion re-
mains the keynote of the situation The
prevailing opinion among diplomats in st.
Petersburg is that Japan and Russia would
choose France rather than the United
States when the time arrives to discuss
terms of peace. Itis difficult if not inn
possible to tell when this time will come
The present current of press and public
opinion in Russia appears to be setting to-
wards peace The newspapers no longer
proclaim the necessity of continuing the
war at all costs. Articles appearing in the
Russ and the Novoe Vremya over the
signatures of we'll known war correspon-
dents who have just returned from
Manchuria critcse the conduct of opera
tons there in unmeasured terms while
these papers edltorially declare that hopes
of victory are remote.
The war never has been, in the fullest
sense of the word, popular. The present
distress and discomfort of the working
class and the general desire for reform
evinced by the upper class may develop
strong peace movement with which the
government may have to recken; but on
the other hand 1t is generally admitted
that if peace should be concluded under
disadvantsgeous conditions it would
materially strengthen the enemies of the
present government, which. will not fail
to keep this fact In sight and hope that
some means can be found of reaching an
adjustment satisfactory to Russia and
Japan. This places special Importance on
the mission entrusted to NJ. Admanaza,
director of the committee on the far east
who s believed to have gone hither in
order to report to the emperor the posi-
bility of reachinga compromise with Japan
without material prejudice to Russia's in
terest.

Berlin, Feb.-The Tageblatt reports that
a plot against the Cars life has been dis
covered by Emperor Nicholas himself.
His majesty was walking through the cor
ridors of the palace of TzArkoeselo yester-
day when he noticed letter addressed to
him lying on the floor. He picked it up
and found that it contained the announce
ment that twelve had sworn to kill him in
revenge for the st. Petersburg massacre OF
January %. The czar has not left the palace
since and a heavy band of Cossacks sur
rounded the palace ground while detectives
swarm through the palace and its environs.
Some papers announce fighting at War
saw between troops and the strikers in
which several were killed and many
wounded.

Great Meeting Opens Religious BeViVal
in London.
LED BY AMERICAN EVANGELISTS
Remarkable Organization for the Meeting
Involving Expenditure Of $4,000 for
Preliminaries-Pr Over by
Lord Kinnaird and Participat-
ed inby Large Contingent
From Fashionable
Section.


London, Feb. 4.-RoyaI Albert Hall 4,
London's greatest auditorium, with a
seating capacity of at least 1000, was
well filed tonight, when Reuben A. Tor
rey and Charles NJ. Alexander, the Ameri-
Can evangelists, opened one of the most
remarkable religious revivals in the his
lory of the metropolis of the United
Kingdom. Lord Kinnaird, president of
the Evangelical Council, presided, and
those on the speakers stand included
some Of the known churchmen of Eng
land without regard to sect.
The audience was drawn largely from
the West End and included number Of
people prominent in social life.
CHOIR OF THREE THOUSAND.
The music tonight was furnished by
choir of thee thousand voices, conducted
by Nj. Alexander, The choir will be re-
tanned throughout the coming months,
during which meetings will be held in
Albert Hall.
Seldom has the vast hall presented such
a scene as when the audience, freely en-
tering into the spirit of the old-time
hymns, joined in the chorus and 10000
voices in the 'well-known harmonies.
Owing to the number of speakers, all of
whom welcomed the Americans to Lon
don, Mr.. Torrey spoke briefly, and after
the famous hymn written after President
McKinley's message to his mother when
she was dying. "Tel Mother I'll Be
There" sung as a solo by Mr.. Alexander,
the benedicion was pronounced.
EXTRAORDINARY PREPARATIONS MADE.
One of the most remarkable things
about the meeting is its organization. For
the last month London has been flooded
with advertising matter announcing the
coming of the revivalists. Already some
$50, 900 has been collected, and $25, 600
more is needed before the preliminary ex
penses are paid, but there is no doubt
greater sum will be forthcoming if it is |
wanted.

Dela,yare's Hundreds.

In the days when the Saxons domi-
mated England prior to the coming OK
William Of Normandy the people were
formed into divisions OF hundreds.
This was done mainly for military pur-
poses and the convenience OF assembly
upon tue summons Of the powerful
earls and barons TO whom the people
owed ALLEGIANCE. These hundreds usu-
ally consisted Of ten families, each
family being computed at a minimum
Of ten persons. IL time the families In
creased IN membership, but did not
lose their individual identity or change
tho designation Of organization. IN
the natural order Of events these hun
dreds expanded into communities and
ultimately into geographical divisions
and took on geographical designa-
tons. Some Of the American colo
nists adopted this form Of geographical
division, and thus we still have hun
dreds In Delaware and Virginia, al
though 10 the latter state that form OF
designation is but seldom used. But in
Delaware hundred is universally used
70 describe the divisions Of county
and is equivalent to the township IL
other states.
