st. Petersburg, Jan. 22.-The govern
ment is taking extraordinary precautions
against rioting today, the anniversary OF
the Red Sunday.
Priests have been forbidden to cele-
braie masses for the dead. The Siberian
Railway has been placed under martial
law. 1t is believed the day will pass
without any serious outbreak. AT l p.
N. the city was still quiet and its ap-
pe-rance was normal. Only few of
the shops were closed.
The government has announced that
every actor aud actress who declines to
TO take part in tonighrs performances
will be expelled from Russia. This
action was induced by the announce.
ment that the theatres would not open
tonight, as a mark of respect TO the
victims of Red Sunday.

Eighteen Persons Killed.

Eighteen persons were killed and
about forty injured in a pauic following
the cry of fire last night in st.
PauPs Colored Baptist Church, on the
west side of Eighth street, between
Poplar street and Girard Avenue, Phils-
delphia.
The services were being held on the
second floor of the building. A defec
tive hue set fire to the chimney, causing
smoke TO issue through the crevices ia
the floor near the pulpit. The room
was we'll filled at the time, and the cry
of fire coupled with the sight of the
smoke, threw the congregation into 8
panic.
I A wild rush WAS made for the stairs,
despite the efforts of Rev. f. w. John
son, the pastor, to allay the fears of the
freuzie,l people.
All wanted to go out at once, and
men, women, and children alike we're
knocked down and trampled upon by
those pushing from behind.
The stairway ia the first floor had one
sharp turn in il, and the frightened peo-
pie became so tightly wedge in the bend
of the stars that the lrsil wooden ban
lister gave away, precipitaIing many to
the first floor
The crash and the screams and shrieks
of the women and children added to the
frenzy of those above. They did not
stop in their onward rush to get out.
Notwithstanding the wide-open doors on
III, FIRST floor leading to the street, the
crush was so great that eighteen persons
had their life stampe out OF them before
the panic was ended.
The FIRE was only trifing, the flames
being extinguished before the fremen
arrived.
The building inspectors are blamed
for the panic in the church. C'roner
Jermon has ordered thorough investi-
CATION. 1t was found that the iue was
defective, and that the heater pipe came
within six inches or less Of a wooden
joist. Only one man lost his life in the
panic, all the other victims being
women and children.

THE WORLDS production of anthra-
cite and bituminous coal during 1905
broke all previous records by exceed
! 900, 900, 600 tons, compared with 97S,'
14O. 329 tons in 1908, the largest previ-
Gus output. OF this great total, $780,
900, 900 tons, or 80 per cent. WA pro-
duced in this country, AL this rate the
supply of coal must at some day become
exhausted, but before that time, in all
probability, something else will be dis
covered to take its place as & fuel.
Necessity is the mother of invention and
the constantly increasing price OF wood
and coal will, it is hoped, soon lead to
such discovery.

10 the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette.
Dear Sir As the Bob White in this
section were almost exterminated the
past year, have made arrangements by
which will be able to get some I've
birds from Kansas. / have several times
turned out these birds in pairs, and
never failed to get splendid results.
If anyone in town, or in this section,
who hunt, can help in this cause, | will
gladly try to get some birds for them
There will be little chance of getting
any unless the orders go in by the FIRST
part OF February. Indeed, it is not GER
tain that will be able to get more than
enough to fill my order. 1t is possible,
however, that | could get some more
and will gladly give any one the beue-
fit of my experience as 10 turning out
these birds. Very few pairs Of birds
turned out on the places of several farm
ers, with the slightest looking after, will
almost certainly result in severa, coyies-
Those OF us who have beeu 10 the
habit of hunting on other lands have 81.
opportunity now of somewhat repaying
them for the privileges they have grant
ed, and will aid to our own sposi.
Much money is spent in going to North
Carolina and other places to hunt. A.
fraction of money so spent, put in birds
and turned out 10 Fairfax will give
them better hunting at home, at little or
no cost. will be glad to hear from
any one on this subject.

MONDAY EVENING. JAN. %, 1906

GOVERNOR DOUGLAS, OF Masss-
chusetts, has issued statement favor
ing The immediate revision OF the tariff,
saving that he would gladly give up the
duty of rs per cent. on shoes, speaking
as a manufacturer, in return for free raw
material, or even for free hides and sole
leather. He adds:
If the handicap of taxed leather were
taken away, could manufacture shoes
rs cheaply as any foreign manufacturer,
and could safely meet the competition OF
the world. We are held back, .owever,
by the high cost of materials that enter
into our product Give our manutac-
turers free raw materials and they will
carry Massachusetts, goods into every
market of the world. Sole leather costs
40 per cent. more now than 1t did IN
1897. Most of the feathers used in the
ions of shoes have increased, but MANI
tsclurers have been able to overcome
this great increase in cost OF raw ma
terial by the improvements machinery,
change of method in manufacture, and
by doing a larger volume of business at
q lower percentage of profits. But now
we have reached our limit. Today shoe
manufacturers cannot reduce the cost OF
labor or the cost of materials, and they
cannon take smaller profit and remain
in business.
Aud whst Gov. Douglas says about
ihe manufacture of shoes applies equally
90 all other articles manufactured out
at taxed raw material.

DURING debate in the Senate list
week Mr.. Hale, of Maine, the republican
leader, said he wished that the Presi-
dent and Secretary of State had not ac-
cepted the invitation to the conference
at Algeciras, which he regarded as
purely political conference. He
thought there was great danger from the
ascendance of the war spirit OF the country.
Mr. Hale is not the Onlv man OF his day
who sees danger ahead, and all should
remember that il was this very danger
hat Washington sought to avoid when,
in his farewell address, he warned the
American government against foreign
entanglements.
