my desire to appeal to the American
people to help my distressed country
men, but whatever money may be rais-

If the Russian government does not
grant the constitutional form of gov

tory of the world will follow. It vii.
be greater strike than that Of 1900.
There has been a great change among
the people since the previous outbreak

NEGRO LAsoRERs.
Great Northern Experiments With Col
ored Men in Washington.

Minneapolis, Feb 15.-Whether or
not President James j. Hill of the
Great Northern has become frightened
by the cry against the Japanese coolie
labor in this country, particularly on
the Pacific coast, it is a fact that his
road has changed its labor tactics and
Is now experimenting in the west with
negro labor
President Hill has for years been one
Of the heaviest, if not tho heaviest, en-
ployer of Jap coolie labor in this coun-
try, and his action In trying out the
negro Is significant in that it shows
which way the wind is blowing, even
outside of California.
One gang of 100 of the negroes has
been brought from the south By the
railroad company and has been work
Ing quietly for the past three months
in Washington. Great Northern offic-
ials state that this action Is not taken
because the Japs are not good hands
but because they have drifted into
other lines of business and there are
not enough of them available.

CROP A RECORD ONE.
Manitoba's Crop of 1906 Largest in
Her History.

Winnipeg, Feb. 15.-The immigra-
tion and agricultural department re-
port, which is being discussed in the
Legislature today, states that the crop
of 1906 was the largest in the history
of the province. Dairying, according
to the report, shows an enormous in
crease, the output of both dairy and
creamery buffers being so per cent
larger than in any previous year, and
the price substantial increase.
Cheese brought a higher price than
for many years. Labor and wages
were good. The grain crop garnered
by some $4,000 farmers has been
about 13O,O00,OOO bushels. which shows
a great increase The report points
out that need for Improvement was
noticeable in obtaining proper and
clean seed and in the methods of cul-
tivation. By paying attention to
these, it is pointed out, the output
could be largely increased. The ex-
penditure on farm buildings for the
year was $4,515,OS5, an increase of
half million over the previous year.

were partially starved, while others
were given enough food to store away,
The six women in our car were not
considered. We were told there was a
lack of provisions and men were leav-
ing the employ of the company on
that account. Finally, after existing
on beans and biscuit for six days, we
decided to walk to this place having
been assured we would be taken tc
town on the locomotive.
"We carried our baggage with us
and spent the FIRST night in depot al
Merritt, being compelled to sleep or
the floor. Today we made it to the
engine and when we asked to be
brought to town. were told that we
must wait till night. AS VIC were cold
