Such RaiIroadina.

"Such railroading," said President
Baer of the Reading line. apropos OF
reckless running, reminds me of an
Irish brakeman.
"This brakeman, who was employed
on a railway in the neighborhood Of
Cook, was annoyed one morning to
find the train stopping in a desolate
place miles away from any station.
He ran to the cab and shouted to
the engineer:
eli. We omadhoun. what are ye
stoppin' here fur?'
The engineer retorted angrily:
Don't you see the signals agin us,
ye gossoon?'
'Musha,' said the brakeman. how
mighty particular ye're gettin'.'"

REVOLUTIONARY TIDE IS RISING

St. Petersburg. May e5.-Prof. Milu- Ioff. spokesman of the Constitutional Democrats. according 10 a thoughtful, article published by him yesterday, is rather despondent over the pros oects Of staying the tide of ravolutio. in this country. He bases his pessin- ism on the conviction the govern ment will not grant full constitution al rights. with which. ho says, it is still possible to calm the passions of the people. f...''
 Prof 'Mi1ukoff regards Premier Cor ernkyin and his cabinet as mere pup pets doing the building of powerful influences at court and believes En- pror Nicholas is destined to throw away..the opportunity Of transferring the country to peaceful parliament, ary regime.
 This the professor considers to be the governments last chance. Revo- lutionary elements are preaching that parliaa,entarism is. an. illusion an' make anarchy and bloody revolution inevitable. Nevertheless the Consti tutionaa Democrats will persevere in their attempt to place the country on a sound constitutional basis, and ii they fail and disaster follows. the responsibility will not be on. their shoulders.
 The central committee Of ConStitu- tional Democrats has completed drafts Of laws 10 be introduced in parliament for universal suffrage. irrespective Of sex. and equal rights for all citizens.
 Count Solsky has been relieved of the presidency of the council of .Ee empire of the upper house Of parlia. ment at his own request and on ac count of il health.
