st. Petersburg, Jan. II. - All the
members Of the workmen's council,
numbering twenty-five persons, were
seized many revolutionary documents
and a mass Of correspondence. The
government officials consider that the
future action Of the revolutionists will
be hampered by the capture of the
members of the council and the revo-
lutionary documents.
The police also discovered the head
quarters from which the propaganda
in the army and navy has been con-
Quoted and seized important docu-
ments, including q cipher list
through which it is expected the ram
i1cation of wide organization will be
revealed. Two girl students who were
in charge of the headquarters and a
score of soldiers and sailors have been
arrested
Officers Dismissed From Service.
Realizing that reforms in the army
and navy must come from above, the
council Of national defense has deter
mined upon a thorough house clean
ing, cashtering and relieving by whole
sale officers who showed incompetent
cy or culpability in the recent trou-
bles. Seven officers of the mutinous
Rostoff grenadiers Of Moscow were
dropped recently and it is said that
seventy officers Of the Black sea fleet
will be tried by court martial.
The agrarian disorders which have
broken out in the outskirts Of st.
Petersburg have assumed an ugly
phase. The peasants have sacked the

Philippine tariff bill passed the house

Gratis voted against the bill.
The democrats who voted against It
are from the rice and sugar states Of
South Carolina. Florida Louisiana

the states in which sugar beets are
grown.

itial duty OF sugar. s

vermont's military college, Norwich
university, Is this year feeling the eff,
fects Of A boom and now has the larg-
est attendance since the institution was
moved from the village Of Norwich To
Northfeld The wisdom Of the change
in location was questioned at that time,
but present events are sustaining the
decision. II the growth Of The college
has been small at Northfeld, how much
smaller would II have been in rs former
location, in close proximity to Dart
mouth colIegeg Norwich could scarcely
have hoped to compete with the vigor-
Gus New Hampshire college. In fact,
one higher institution Of learning would
have entirely pre-empted the field in the
vicinity Of Tile Connecticut river. Two
would have found II barren picking for
students, If the home field was to be
depended upon al feeder. So the ac
tion of the smaller college IN folding
iEs tents and stealing away to q less
crowded field Of operation was justified.
As il Is, Vermont finds itself more or
less ctamped with three colleges, one AZ
Mortified, another at Middlebury and
the third at Burlington. Norwich uni.
