GENERAL WALKOUT BEGINS
RHENISH AND WESTPHALlAN
MINERS QUITTING WORK
BY THOUSANDS.

Cologne, Germany, Jan. 11.-Both
the coal miners and mine owners
throughout the Rhenish and Westpha-
liam districts are preparing for gen
eral strike. So far only 10000 out OF
total OF 270,000 men concerned have
gone out The mine proprietors have
begun rejecting requests and as soon
as their replies are received the min
ers, according TO their previous de-
cision, will not go to work when 1T Is
time for their next shift. The employ
ers, under the law fixing the relations
of employer and employe, are notify
ing the miners 10 return to work or be
discharged with the loss of six days
wages The miners at seven Dort-
mund works went out during the day.
The proprietors affirm that they are
unable to agree to the demands to in
clude the time of going into and re-
turning from the shafts in the wage
period, nor can. they make expensive
alterations in draining the mines, be-
cause the owners claim Germany
would thereby lose her position in the
international competitive field both in
coal itself and in manufactures by the
use of coal.

SHIP WRECKED BY EXPLOSION.
Seven Survivors of Crew Of Eighteen
Reach New York.

New York Jan 11.-Seyen survivors
of the ill-fated Norwegian ship Mar
pesia. which was wrecked at sea on
Christmas day by an explosion OF
naphtha, resulting in the death OF
eleven members of her crew, arrived
here during the day on the steamer
Trinidad from Bermuda They had
been rescued by the Danish steamer
Gallia, which happened by just at the
moment when the Marpesia was blown
into shapeless mass and the seven
men who survived the shock were
taken from the sea, where they mad
sought the only refuge that remained
to them after the explosion. They
were landed at Bermuda by the Gallia,
which was bound from Hamburg for
Savannah.
When the explosion occurred those
of the eighteen men on board who had
not been caught i'm the first burst
threw themselves over the side of the
flaming ship into the sea. They were
only seven and the seven would have
followed their companions to an early
death had not the Gallia, which
chanced to be in the vicinity came
down quickly to their aid when she
saw the burst of flames.

RUSSIAN GENERALS I'M MANCHU.
RIA LOSING CONFIDENCE IN
I THEIR COMMANDER.
RANK AND FILE ARE DEMoRALIzED
FORMER FIGHTING SPIRIT NOT
APPARENT IN RECENT OUT
POST SKIRMIsHING.

Toxic. Jan. Information which
has reached certain reliable quarters
here states that the Russian generals
in Manchuria are losing confidence IN
General kuropatkin and the Russian
situation around Mukden is a serious
one. 1t is feared that If Kuropatkin
attacks the Japanese position along the
Shakhe river he will court disaster
and that his further retreat will mean
the decentralization of his army.
This information goes on TO say that
there is constant pickering at Russian
Manchurian headquarters and that the
soldiers are discontented, dissatisfac'
tion beginning with the series OF re-
treats after the battle of Telissu iva
fangow) and the withdrawal from
Liaoyang when it was believed 1t was
possible to hold that place. The eli
max came with the Russian defeat at
the battle of Shakhe river, following
kuropatkin's strongly worded order dl
recting the forward movement, dated
Oct. 2. This defeat brought storm
of criticism upon the commander-ln
chief and resulted in discord among
the officers.
Long inaction, the information al
leges, is undermining the morale oil
the Russian army and it is pointed oul
that recent skirmishes and outpost
brushes indicate that the Russian sol.
diers are becoming disheartened as
they do not show their former fighting
spirit OF qualities.
The siege guns to be sent to Man
churia from Port Arthur will probably
be placed in advanced positions fol
the purpose of enabling the japanese
to she'll far into the Russian lines. 9

ANTi-POLYGAMY CLAUSE.
Senator Dubois Offers Amendment to
Statehood Bill.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Senator Du'
bois, who has been active against po-
lygamy, has introduced an amendment
to the statehood bill which reserves 10
congress the right to legislate on the
subject OF polygamy and polygamous
cohabitation. The amendment pro-
vides that congress may take action
If the two states to be admitted, If the
pending bill becomes law, should fail
to enact effective legislation. Senator
Dubois desires that congress shall III
sist that the two proposed states shall
incorporate an anti-polygamy clause III

the amendment is adopted, national
legislation of similar character would
1e enacted applicable to every state.

There is little probability of the
Russians being caught as unprepared
at Vladivostok as at Port Arthur. but
the moral responsibility rests upon the
government to see that nothing in the
way OF defensive preparation is over
looked. Sakhalin and Kamchatka are
both harder TO defend and have a
scantier population, but both are rlch
Ia mineral and other resources and
are especially tempting to the Japa

pansion they are necessary.

Gently presented to this government
by the emperor of Germany and now
standing in the war college grounds.
A charge of explosives, with light
ed fuse. was attached to the fence sur
rounding the statue, but was removed
by an employe before it exploded. NO
damage resulted to the statue or to
property or persons.
Prompt measures were taken to de-
tain the perpetrators of the crime be-
fore they left the grounds, but they
did nC} succeed The police authori-
ties have been notified and all avail
able information is being placed be-
fore them with view to arresting the
guilty parties.
The police authorities have located
the carriage in which the party who
attempted to blow up the statue was
conveyed to the vicinity, but have not
yet located the culprit. The driver OF
the carriage who conveyed the man
to the statue says that he received his
passenger at the Pennsylvania rail-
road station; that he left the carriage
apparently TO take a photograph OF
the statue; that he left the carriage
ell route back to the depot and made
his way toward the river front. The
police are searching for the man.
