New Burden on Railway.

st. Petersburg, BY Cable.-In long
dispatch from General Kuropatkin
which was received here, the COM
mander-in-chief of the army in Man
churia gives details of various at
tacks by the Japanese during the last
few days, and a dispatch from Mukden
received at midnight, indicates a con-
atinuation of the artillery duel; but
neither report throws any light upon
the rumored intention Of General Ku-
ropatkin to withdraw northward,
which has been the gossip of st. Pc
tersburg for the past two days. A
private dispatch received last night
concludes with this significant SEN
tencc: "Within two weeks you may
expect great events"
The Siberian Railway. which is be-
ing worked to it's full capacity by
purely military traffic, is about to
have further burden imposed upon
it-namely, that of feeding the resi-
dent non-combatant population The
stocks Of provisions in Siberia were
not as large as usual at the beginning
of the winter and are now run low.
The government has been informed
that provisions must ba imported by
the railroad Of that the towns will be
face to face with fami.Ie within a
fortnight. This will necessitate some
delay in the forwarding of military
supplies, which are sorely needed at
the present moment

PROTECTION AGAINST A WITCH.
Law Invoked to Keep Woman From


Supernatural Detective Work.
Once or twice year some extraor-
binary piece Of evidence finds its way
into the papers of the survival of the
most primitive forms of witchcraft,
and Of the belief in the same, in parts
Of Ireland.
AS rule these cases transpire when
the law is broken by persons ill-treat-
ing the supposed witch, as when last
year an unfortunate woman was held
on the fire to drive an evil spirit out
of her.
But the last few days have shown a
novel case, in which the protection of
The law was invoked to protect certain
persons against witch.
An old Irish peasant woman had suf-
fered from the theft of small sum
of money. Being unable TO discover
the thief or thieves, she had made a
straw image, dressed it up, stuck it
full OF pins, and placed it on bier,
and proceeded. to hold wake" or
funeral party over it. She then de.
ciared that her intention was to bury
this image, with suitable inyocations,
with the certain result that as the
straw of which it was made decayea
away so would the body Of the thief
waste and dwindle.
Certain Of the neighbors (possibly
with guilty consciences) asked that the
police might stop this experiment in
witchccaft, as 1t gave them great un.
easiness.

STORMY CONDITIONS
Worse Troubles Confront Russians
5~
At Home
LABoRING PEOPLE STILL RESTLESS
Labor Delegates Representing the
Whole Industrial Population of St.
Petersburg Issue Peremptory De.
mads Which the Government IS
Almost Certain Not to Grant.

st. Petersburg, By Cable.-Black
clouds are again lowering over the in
dustrial situation of Russia. The
strike at Moscow has been resumed On
"a large scale, anarchy reigns in the
Caucasus, and at ST. Petersburg the
measures which the government ad-
vanced to quiet discomfort and restore
good relations between masters and
men appear to have failed, with the
probability of causing the storm TO
break anew.
The labor delegates representing
the whole of the industrial population
of st. Petersburg, and who were elect
ed to choose fifty members of the
Schidioski reconciliation commission
met again Thursday and reaffirmed
the resolutions adopted the previous
day, which threatened, in case the
demands are not granted, not only to
refuse to elect labor representatives
to the commission, but to order re-
sumption of the general strike.
These demands are for the release
of imprisoned workmen and freedom
from arrest, unhampered speech, full
publicity of meetings of the commits
sion, and the abolition of the censor
ship.
A practical ultimatum was deliver
ed, calling for an answer today, and
there is little expectation that the
government will grant the conditions
demanded. The strike already has
assumed large proportions here, about
$4,000 men being out. Among those
who struck yesterday are the employ
es of the ST. Petersburg shops of the:
Warsaw Railway. The strike has not,
yet extended to the trainmen, but the.
leaders may decide to order them
out III order to paralyze one Of the
most important railroads in Russia.
