No Trouble Reported In Ru..l. on

No Trouble Reported In Russia on
Anniversary Of "Red Sunday"
st. Petersburg, Jan. 23.-The ami
versary OF RED Sunday passed In
the tamest fashion. There were no
developments or disorders. Dispatch
es from the interior report that no
serious disorder occurred anywhere.
The day here was absolutely unevent-
full. except stoppage Of work at some
Of the factories. but attempts to make
the strike general was failure. A
large proportion Of the workmen dis
regarded the appeal.
The change from normal life is
scarcely noticeable. except in the in
dustrial quarters Of the city. All was
quiet in the most turbulent being
overawed by the imposing military
preparations. Guards were especially
thick in the Vassill Ostrov district.
which, besides its large industrial
population, is infested with disorderly
persons. Joint patrols of cavalry and
infantry swept up and down the
streets at intervals and pickets were
stationed at every corner. Many
workmen on the streets drifted to-
gether and then separated as the pa.
trolls came and went. evidently being
in fear of the Cossack whips.

Senator Burton Draws Mileage.

Washington, Jan. 23.-One Of the
most remarkable procedures in the his.
tory of the senate occurred in order to
avoid a technicality which prevented
Scnato. Burton Of Kansas from draw.
Ing his mileage from the present ses-
sion. In order to have his requisition
honored it is necessary for some OH.
cial of the senate to take oath that
he had seen the senator in the cham
Der, but since the indictment and con-
viction of the Kansas senator he has
not appeared in the chamber. There
is no disposition on the part of anyone
to withhold the mileage and the sen.
ator therefore was asked to step frc m
the cloak room into the chamber for
a moment In order that he might. be
seen by some official. He declined.
but an employe engaged him in con.
versation in the cloak room, near the
entrance to the chamber. The EN-.
ploye suddenly turned the senator so
that he faced the chamber, and the
attention Of officials previously having
been directed toward this door, he
was seen from the chamber. 1t was
then certified that Senator Burton
was in attendance and his mileage
was paid him.

CONFERENCE AT ALGEcIRAs
Entertained by skirmish Between
French and German Delegates.

Entertained by Skirmish Between
French and German Delegates.
Algeciras, Jan. 23.-The plenipoten.
tiaries were entertained at the third
sitting of the Moroccan conference by
an almost continuous skirmish by M.
Revolt, head of the French delegation,
anr Count Won Tattenbach, the second
of Germanys delegates. While the
amenities were carefully observed, the
other delegates were conscious that
it was the beginning of fresh contro-
versies between France and Germany,
which were likely to be protracted and
of increasing earnestness.
The offense displayed by the two
plenipotentiaries suggested the seri-
GUS differences of race. M. Revolt
was keen, analytical of mind, skillful
in fine diplomatic phrasings and with
grace of expression and a winning
personality. Count Won Tattenbach
was downright of speech and soldierly
in manner. trusting to the solidity of
his ideas and to his facts.
The two plenipotentiaries are not in
sympathy and draw apart outside the
council room. Both are of huge am
bition and 1t would be difficult for
either to yield to the other.
