KIsHINEv, Russia, March 2S.-The agra
rian disorders in Roumania have melted a
sympathetic movement on the Bessarabian
side OF the Pruth.
The peasantry are in a ferment every
where and the villagers of Mindger have
taken possession Of a private estate. A de-
tachment Of Cossacks has been sent there.
ROumRnian Rising Anarchistic.
BUCHAREST, Roumania, March 23.-In
the opinion of the Roumanian government
the rising OF peasants In Moldavia is more
OF an anarchistic character than anti
Semitic. In reply to requests for a state
ment on the subject today Finance Minis
ter Ionescu wrote the following note:
'"The present regrettable movement is not
only Of an anti-semitic, but also Of an
agrarlan and anarchistic character. The
houses of Christians, both owners and
tenants, have been destroyed. The govern
ment has taken all possible measures to
cope with the movement which now must
be regarded more as an anarohistic cam
paign than anything else
According to the latest advices received
here the movement is spreading southwark.
Bands of peasants in the Branilov and
Buzeu districts, mostly armed with cud-
gels, are marauding over the farms, threat
ening the proprietors with death unless
they ameliorate the conditions of work.
The government claims that the dis
turbances have been queIied in the districts
in which It has been able TO get sufficient
troops. A regiment Of cavalry left here
today for the Bacau and Vaslui districts.
Peasants Well Organized.
In the Bacu. Vaslui and Roman districts
the peasants are well organized. Most OF
them have served in the army and they
have formed themselves into companies
and regiments under officers. and are plum
dering small towns and villages, wherever
there is an insufiiciency of troops TO over
awe them, without distinction as to ma
tionality. In several instances the farmers
and land owners have yielded to the de-
mands of the peasants and the raids have
ceased. In the attack made by peasants
on troops at Blegesti, in the Bacu dis
trict, which resulted In fourteen of the at
tackers being killed, the peasants seized
Colonel Poelzer, who was in command OF
the troops. and locked him up in the house
Of the. public prosecutor, which they were
preparing TO burn when the troops dis
persed them.
A serious encounter between troops and
peasants has occurred at the small town OF
Mis- alleni, near the Bukovina frontier, in
the district of Dorohoi.
Many peasants were killed during the
fighting.
The disturbed sections of the country
have been placarded with an announcement
made by the government that a bill against
farming trusts will be submitted to Parlia.

cial telegraphers' union, are preparing
a bill that will be submitted to con-
gress at the next session, providing for
thorough investigation of the whole
telegraph problem with a view to rec
ommending government ownership or
government control. AS this country
is the only great power in the world
that does not own and operate it's tele-
graph lines, there is enough that Is
tangible and practical in the suggeS-
ton to make the commercial companies
feel little nervous. AT the same time
1t must be said to the credit OF the pri-
vate companies now operating the tel
egraph lines, that the service all round
is Il good deal better here than it is
abroad. The government service in
England and her colonies is not first
rate, and the situation on the CONT
nent of Europe, While a little better, is
by no means SO good as in this coun-
try, tho it should be remembered that
telegraph service everywhere elsd is
much cheaper than ii is in America.
Whether the government could or
would exert itself as the private COM
panies do in the press service is Sc
rious question, and it is hardly to be
supposed that with the government
running the telegraph as it does the
postotfice, there would be many of the
record breaking feats that are now ac-
complshed In the transmission OF news
matter.

GASOLINE MOTOR CARS.
Union Pacific to Put Twelve in Serv.
ice Next Month


New York, July 2.-4An extremely in
teresting innovation in railway passen-
ger transportation In this country will
be inaugurated next month, when, it is
announced, the Union Pacific railroad
will place In service twelve gasoline
rail-motor cars. The cars are intended
for branch-line traffic where the fast
and frequent service required cannot
be maintained by ordinary trains ex-
cept at loss.
The latest type Of these cars de-
veloped at the Omaha shops of the Un-
ion Pacific makes sixty miles an hour
with a 2O0-horse power engine, reaches
high speed within six car lengths, aud
can be stopped within 100 feet With
these advantages the cars can be put
on a much faster schedule than is pos
sible with the steam locomotive.
Outwardly the newest of the cars,
which are built entirely of steel, re-
semble turned-over racing yacht. The
forward end tapers sharply, and the
roof and rear are rounded off to re-
duce the air resistance and avoid the
vacuum produced by square car.
Rounded windows give to the passen-
gers a wide range OF outlook. and in
crease the nautical appearance OF the
car.
In cold weather the cars are to be
heated by hot water from the cylinder
jacket. They are lighted by acetylene
gas shining thru opalescent panels. For
sanitary reasons the floors of the cars
are built so that they can be thorough
~ cleaned. by flushing with hot water.
The familiar system Of ventilation has
been replaced by roof ventilators which
exhaust the inside air by suction, fresh
air being taken in from the car roof
in front. Vibration is reduced to a
minimum by the way in which the mo-
tive power is balanced.
The cost of operating the cars varies
from ten to twenty cents mile, act
cording to the density Of the traffic
but the records kept prove beyond
doubt that the rail-motor car will
make possible great improvements in
handling branch line passenger traf-
