st. Petersburg. Aug. 6.-Probably
not more than $4,000 workmen were
out when the general strike oficially
went into force at noon. The final
decision to call a strike was 30 hastily
taken and the police since then have
bsen so busy putting the rineleaders
behind the bars that great confusion
prevails among the various organiza-
tfons. which were scheduled to begin
striking At different places and at dit
ferent times. Therefore the inaugura-
ton OF the strike lacks snap and 1t il
evident that its success will depend
upoR the temper of the masses. The
leaders have been more or less de-
moralized by the energy displayed by
the government In breaking up the
workmen's organizations and unless
the people spontaneously respond to
the call the strike must end In early
failure.
All eyes are turned on MOSCOW and
the provinces. st. Petersburg, the
governments stronghold, is expected
to be the last to succumb to the state
OF anarchy into which tho revolution
lists have undertaken to plunge tho
country. The battlecry Of the strike.

A prominent member Of the govern

with the decision taken at Peterhof to

points out that the workmen's unions

Some Famous War Horses.
Washington Star.


The selection of war horse, one
that will stand the hardships of an
active campaign, requires keen dis
elimination and Judgment. A mere
horse will not do so. Aside from this
conformation, which should be more
or less compact, and bone which
should be Of dense quality and of fair
ly good size, he must have some pre-
tensions of good breeding. Without
the latter no horse can stand the
wear and tear of active service in the
field, a service more exhaustive than
any other known, because frequently
he must go on short rations while be-
ing ridden desperately for hours at a
time, and frequently compelled to go
supperless to bed. In addition to
breeding he must have such necessary
qualities as intelligence, good dispo-
sition and cheerfulness of tempera-
ment and must respond promptly to
his masters command, whether on
the firing line or on review. AS a
general proposition the better the war
horse is bred the better fitted he is
for his arduous duties.

welt rode to the war with Spain he Sc

wounded and killed under him that
it is hard to keep account Of them.

The scene was one of impressive
dignity. The Court, consisting Of 40
Judges, gowned in flowing red robes,
solemnly mounted the bench. Deep
silence prevailed as the presiding
Judge read the lengthy decision,
minutely reviewing The series of sen-
sational events Of the last II years

fus.
The reading of the decision lasted
an hour and it was only at the close
that the spectators realized the
sweeping nature of the vindication.
As the final determination was an
nounced there was a buzz Of excited
comment and some exclamutions of
approval, which the court officers
sternly repressed.
Matthew Drcyfus hastily despatch
ell a messenger to bear the good news
to Captain Dreyfus and Madame
Dreyfus.
Outside the court the crowds re-
ceived the decision without making
any demonstration.
The circumstances of Dreyfus re-
turning to the army have not been
determined but it is expected that he
will take the grade of Lieut.. Colonel
of artillery, which he would have
reached if tbe service had not been
interrupted.
The Cabinet will hold special ses-
sion tonight to determine on the
course to follow.
Already it has been determined,
that besides the restoration of Drey-
fus to the army a special bill will
be presented to Parliament authoriz-

was degraded owing to charges which

Democracy in, the Churches.

= The growth of the democratic idea
in the churches was we'll illustrated in
the recent Methodist conference, when
one of the charges refused to receive
the appointee of the bishop and secured
change. 1t might be said that this
was an ill-judged effort on the part OF
bishop, to impose his will upon a
community and that it had no signif-
canoe with reference to the general
system, but if one church could success:
fully oppose its strength against the
bishop on any account, 1T must be taken
as Of some signif aimee. :: The fact is,
the bishop 8 nomination was withdrawn
by having the presiding elder arrange
an exchange. This saved the dignity
of the bishop, but did not give the
bishops appointee the place to which
he was designated: ~":T =: "a.
The democratic idea in the Methodist
church is not opposed to the bishop sys
tenn necessarily, but it seems to have
established the fact that the will OF
the. bishop can: be appealed from, and
this without sacrifice Of church stand

the church which the laws Of the LANG
will not interfere with give the pre-
siding elder, representing the bishop

has been closed against a pastor, but. i
is power which is not invoked. It is

used. "s
