PEASANTS RESIST TROOPS.
Disorders General IN Country Districts
y Of Russia.

~ Of Russiass
st. Petersburg, March ga great
change seems to have come over the
spirit of the peasants during the win
ter. Wherever troubles are reported
the peasants are invariably shown to
be resisting the rural guards and
troops sent to restore order. At Kol-
pino, almost at the gates of st. Peters
burg, peasants who were cutting trees
in the forest put to fight a number of
armed guards sent to suppress them.
Near Psloff, province of Pskoff, the
peasants, who decided during the win
ter not to pay taxes, arranged sys-
tenn of trumpet signals and on the ap-
pearance OF the guards escorting the
tax collectors the peasants from the
whole countryside were summoned,
armed with scythes, pitchforks and
clubs, to resist the collection of taxes.
A delegation representing the Rus.
slams in Poland, the Baltic provinces
and Lithuania appeared before the EN-
peror during the day and pleaded for
separate representation in the lower
house Of parliament, contending that
as they are in the minority they will
not be shown any mercy by the non.
Russian population. They therefore
asked to be allowed to elect two rep
resentatives from Poland, one from
Lithuania and one from each of the
Baltic provinces. The emperor prom
ised to order an investigation into the
whole question.

for the Standard Oil, then had it noted
on the record that the Standard Oil
company would admit that the stock
of the Republic Oil company and the
jWaters-Pierce company and the Stand
ard Oil of Indiana was held in trust by
the Standard Oil of New Jersey.
Held for Standard Oil.
Judge Johnson added that the ad-
mission was made for the purpose of
the present litigation. Judge Priest,
also of counsel for the Standard Oil
company, said the stock showing on
the stock book of the Waters-Pierce
company as standing in the name of

terests Of the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey and that they made
that admission for the purposes of this
