NICHOLAS STRIKES
OUT FROM SHOULDER
TELEGRAM is TAKEN TO MEAN
THAT HE WILL USE STERN
MEASURES TO BRING ABOUT
ORDER IN POLAND.

st. Petersburg, August ia call to an
uncompromising war with terrorism and
revolution In Poland was sounded in the
imperial telegram of congratulation to
Governor General skallon of Warsaw, on
his escape from the bombs of would
be assassins at Warsaw Saturday in this
telegram from Emperor Nicholas.
After thanking Divine Providence for
saving the governor generals life FOR
me and Russia" continues:
do not be discouraged; be resolute in
the battle with insensate heresy and
sedition.'
On account of present conditions in
Poland it would be impossible to execute
the imperial will as the police have prac-
tically been driven from the streets Of
the Polish capital and the prevailing MIL
itary measures are believed to be made
quate to cope with the revolutionists
Hence the text of the telegram is re-
garded here as indicating the intention
of the Emperor to strengthen the hands
of General Skallon or his successor by
furnishing more troops, empowering the
use of sterner methods than hitherto
were permissible and the formation of
a special ministry to take over the gov
eminent of the Polish provinces.
The establishment of what is practically
a dictatorship for Poland is limited at by
the Svet, the government organ.

From the London Daily Mail.
The charity school boy and the boy in
buttons were two types of boyhood out of
which Dickens contrived to get a great
deal of humor. The first named has en-
tlrely disappeared, while page boys of
the Joe the Fat Bay" class are almost
extinct. and the last specimens are to be
found in clubs and hotels
At one time the possession of a bright
little boy in buttons was held to Indicate

maid has taken his place.
Within the past nine or ten years the
demand for page boys for private houses
mas dwindled to almost nil, except in the
case of doctors. who combine in them the
duties of door opener. medicine carrier
and boot cleaner.
People nowadays prefer to have a smart
parlor maid to open the door and re-
ceive callers. or to employ a young for
eigner of IS or 20 years of age, who not
only acts as footman. but also as window
cleaner and general handy man for a
trfiing wage, leaving after he has earned

him Is that he made contracts with the
great street plants insuring tonnage suf-
ficient for the Wabash to repair the ex-
penditure in a remarkably short time.
The Pennsylvania railroad had it's abid-
ing place in Pittsburg for years, and
fought with all it's vast power the adj
vance of the Wabash.
Perhaps the happiest day in the life of
Joseph Ramsey was when his car crossed
over the bridge to the forbidden city,
| in July, 1904.
At this time Mr.. Gould said looking
over the work which had been accom-
plished by Mr. Ramsey:
Ramsey this is miraculous"
1t has been frequently said that Mr..
Ramsey was never so happy as when he
had fight on his hands.
Several years ago the Wabash had trou-
BILE with the engineers, and Chief Arthur,
who was alive then. sent word to Mr.
Ramsey that he would like to talk the
matter over with him.
In response Mr. Ramsey said:
"Tell Mr. Arthur that 1 shall be very
glad to see him personally, but not as
representative of our engineers"
This was cut from which Arthur never
really recovered and 1t served to embit-
ter the feeling between the engineers and
the president to a marked degree. Yet
with all of this Mr.. Ramsey managed to
tide over the issue and emerged without
a strike and a settlement that was salts
factory to all concerned.
A critic says of Ramsey's faults: "They
are stubbornness, lack of tact and jeal-
BUSINESS of authority. but to sum up his
good traits would require for more
space.
"Among his associates he is popular
and none of them but wish him success
In his fight, but many of them are now
of the opinion that the victor of so many
hard fights is going down to ignominous
defeat

at his office will always remember the
keen gray eyes lifted like a flash from
some document. and 1t is on record that
he is always reading something, but more
than all else they will recall the man-to-
man attitude which he assumed and the
frank and absolutely fair manner in
which he heard them.
anyone and everyone calling upon Mr..
Ramsey can get a hearing. There is not
the usual red tape procedure to gain adj

From Various Sources.
Josephp Ramsey's first work in railroad
ing was as a member of an engineering
corps on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
ST Louis railroad. There he had an op-
portunity to show the stuff of which he
was made. He did his work so well that
in four months he was advanced. He
then became assistant engineer of the
Cincinnati and Muskegon Valley rail-
road, which position he acceptably filled
Mr.. Ramsey progressed right along in
various positions. In 1883 he was made
chief engineer and superintendent of the
Pittsburg and Southern. From there he
was transferred to the Pittsburg Char

gineer and general manager, where he
remained until, 1888 During that time
he also filled the position of general man.

became assistant to the president of the
Ciicinnati, Cleveland, Chicago and st.

TO ASSASSINATE PALMA

Havana, August 19.-Half dozen highly
prominent leaders of the liberal party
have been taken into custody on the
charge of conspiracy against the govern
ment and plotting to assassinate Presi-
dent Palma.
The events of today have shown that
the government was fully aroused to the
necessity of putting down not only the
open outlawry in western Cuba, but also
of capturing and combining thte alleged
leaders of this movemet who were strong
ly suspected of plotting the assassination
of the President and overthrowing the
present government by force. To that end
the six members of the liberal party were
arrested. The men arrested here are Gen.
Carlos Garcia Velez and his brother,
Fausto, ex-Cuban consul at Bremen; ex-
Senator Monteaguedo, Col. Manuel Pie
dra, chief of police in the House of Rep
resentatives, and Gen. Enrique Loynaz
del Castillo, a former congressman from
Puerto Principe province. These men are
charged with conspiracy. kilograms were
sent to Santiago directing the arrest of
Juan Galberto Gomez of Havana, known
as the co1ored orator and one of the most
influential leaders. Gomez has been late
ly campaigning throughout Santiago pro-
vince The police of Santiago were also
ordered to arrest Demetrio Castillo. Co
mez and Castillo are charged with melting
to outlawry and revolution.
The Havana arrests were made by the
city police on charges preferred by the
chief Of the government secret service.
Gen. Enrique Lyonez del Castillo man
aged to make his escape. Col. Manuel
Piedra is the same man who endeavored
to start a revolution in 1905. He was cap
tured but subsequently pardoned and re-
manned in the employ of the government
as chief of police In the House.
General Castillo is radical man and
on various occasions has been a disturb
ing element in politics.
The details OF this alleged conspiracy
are not yet clear. The officials assert that
they have sufficient evidence to secure
convictions.
