Colonel Thomas Stanton returned
last night from a visit to the Sibylee
country, bringing word that the large
dam on the DR.. Stevens ranch went

GREAT STRIKE OF ST. PETERS.
BURG WoRkMEN NOW AN
AFFAIR OF THE PAST.
CONFIDENCE IN MIXED COMMISSION
MASTERS AND EMPLOYEES TO FOR.
MULATE NEW LAWS AND
ADJUST DIFFERENCES.

ct. Petersburg, Feb. 15.-The last
visible vestige Of the great st. Peters:
burg strike disappeared during the
day when the employees Of the Putiloh
iron works returned. In all the works
ballots are being distributed for the
election Sunday Of representatives on
the mixed commission of masters and
workmen. The greatest confidence
prevails that the measures taken will
prove satisfactory to the workmen, as
the latter will be heard regarding the
formulation of new laws and the ad-
justment of existing differences. The
political side of the agitation Is con.
sidered no longer a serious factor at
present.
Rumors that General Trepoff will
be appointed minister of the interior
are not confirmed in the best informed
circles. where it is believed the post
Of governor general will be continued
for several months at least.

Russians Killed In Battle During First
Year Of War.

Russians Killed In Battle During First
Year Of War.
St. Petersburg. Feb. 1.-THE official
returns for the first year of the war,
not includins. the Port Arthur statis-
tics, show that 13o,439 officers and
men passed through the hospitals 60
ing north, o. which number LILO Off
GERS were wounded and 1908 were
sick; $500 men were wounded and
1851 we're sick; 4.0O7 subsequently
died in hospitals; 6,474 wounded and
1928 were invalided; 1922 returned
to Russia; 21,554 are still in hospitals.
Over $4,000, therefore, presumably re-
turned to the ranks. These figures do
not include the numbers of those
killed on the field of battle, nor prob
ably those slightly injured who re-
manned temporarily in field hospitals.
The showing is considered remarkably
good. The proportion dying in hos
pital is very low; total loss to the
active army in. wounded and sick be-
ing little over $4,000, of whom al
most half have still a chance of return
ing to the ranks. The other half will
be invalided or returned to Russia.
The killed in battle are estimated to
have numbered between 10000 and
$4,000.

4. Thou shalt pay thy bills
promptly, that thy credit may be
good in the land where thou dwell
lest, and thy neighbor greet thee
gladly. For it is neither good to
dun or be dunned and the business
men are already vexed with bills,
and the man who payeth the cash
delighteth their eyes and rejoiceth
their hearts.
5. Thou shalt not knock the
props from under thine own town
in order to be revenged on thine
own enemy least thou also perish

soever lyeth in thy power to do to
promote thy welfare and the vel
fare of thy neighbors and thine
own people, that thou mayest share
their prosperity and rejoice with
them in the progress of thy town.
6. Thou shalt not incline thine
ear to the voice of pride, nor per.
NIT vanity to overcome thine heart;

these things turneth up his nose at
the fine printing done in his own
town by the printers who buy their
meat and raiment of him, and fool
ishly. sendeth awayto the lithograf
man and the embosser of somegin-

chargeth him many sheckles that
oometh not back to him. And
when his neighbor see these things
which he hath done, their souls
also wax vain and they send their
ready buckets away to other aliens
for such silk and purple and fine
linen as they hope their neighbors
cannot match and the hapless home
merchant who has an unpaid ac-
count against such neighbors tear
eth his hair and knoweth not that
his own example of vanity hath led
to his undoing.
Z. Thou shalt spend thine earn.
ings at home, that they may return
from whence they came, and give
nourishment to such as come after
thee.
8. Thou shalt not bear false
witness against the town wherein
thou dwellest; but thou shalt speak
we'll of it in the ears Of all men.
For it is dirty bird that befouleth'
it's own nest; they that doeth such
things shall be cast into outer
darkness and they shall make their
beds with the pole cats and mangey
dogs.
8. Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbors' seed wheat, nor his corn
that is in his crib; but whatsoever
thou desirest thou shalt buy of him
that hast to sell, and thou shalt
pay the price thereof in the coin of
the realm.

kuropatkin Said to Have Accused
Gripenberg Of lnsubordination.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 15.-According
to the latest gossip at the war Office
General Kuropatkin has charged Cen
eral Gripenberg, former commander of
the Second army, with insubordina-
tion in leaving his command without
authority, but the story cannot be
traced to responsible source and
perhaps represents simply a new YER
sion of the incident. While definite
information continues to be lacking
it seems to be generally accepted that
General Gripenberg, after the recent
danking operation, blamed the COM
mander.in.chief for his failure to sup
port him and after stormy scene
started for Russia to personally report
to the emperor.
