an abundance Of petals, but each one
appeared to promise but brief fu-

st. Petersburg. Feb. 2e.-As the re-.
suit Of an energetic three-year fight
by the Poles the essential feature OF

scribed as the fourth partition" OF
Poland. was defeated today in the
duma.
The creation of the now province OF
Cheln. comprising about one-third OF
the provinces of Lublin and Siedles,
In tho Kingdom Of Poland. was ap-
proved. but its submission to the min
istry Of the interior instead Of to the
governor general of Warsaw was re-
jocted by q vote Of 139 against las.
Tho duma voted TO leave the new
Chelm province In the kingdom Of
Poland. ..-s7.
The rejection Of the proposal. to
transfer the chelm province to Rus
sia means that important judicial and
civil practices will continue to be car
ried out under the Napoleon code,
which still Is In force In Poland.
The Octoberists also voted to post
pone the bill limiting the German
colonization Of Volhynia, and other
western governments.
These votes are gignincant Of the
change which has come over the Ma.
tionalist course. which was prevalent
at the beginning Of the duma. The

Joseph NJ. Teal Of the chamber Of

fore the committee. Mr.. Wheeler
contended that barring railroad com.
panies from operating steamers

Mr.. Teal urged the committee to
oppose the exaction Of any tolls on

He insisted that the tax should fall

TEXTILE STRIKE

More Workers in the Mills
Today Than at Any 9th
er Time

Lawrence. Mass, Feb. 29-More op-
eratives are working in tho various
textile mills today than on any pre-
vtous day Of the strike. which Is now
in it's eighth week. There were fewer
pickets than usual and the police were
given but little trouble.
The several lines of activity in con-
nection with the strike we're continu-
ed. Important among these was the
investigation regarding the legal side
of the mater of the expectation OF the
children from the city.
A probable development was the for
NAL declaration of strike by the Cen,
trail Labor union of this city. Should
such vote be passed 1t was expect
ed general call for funds will be is-
sued to the unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor.
Arrangements for sending party of
textile strikers. including children Ia
Washington to appear before a con-
gressional committee, as suggested by
Congressman Victor Berger. we're CON-
pleted last night. The party will start
late today.
More than fifty men. women and
children. representing each of the
eighteen nationalities among the strik-
ers. will make the trip. The children
selected. all of whom are over II years
old, are themselves mill workers on
strike. In some instances they bear
scars from injuries sustained while al
work. Among the number will be a
girl whose scalp was torn OF by q
machine.

smaller children to Philadelphia.

ties last Saturday, with The result that

ther duty before the close of the week
according to an announcement last
night. This is in response to his re-
peated requests, on the ground that
personal business required his atten-
ton.
Disclaimed Responsibility
Boston, Feb. 29-The heads of the
Lawrence mills, all of which have their
executive Offices in this city, disclaim
responsibility for the refusal Of the po-
lice to allow children to be sent to
New York, Philadelphia. Washing
ton and elsewhere. In a joint state
ment issued last night the mill owners
say:
"The manufacturers of Lawrence
arc in no way responsible for any de-
tention of children who were being
sent out of the state. The manufac-
turers did not ask for this: they were
not consulted about it: they were not
informed Of the contemplated action of
the local authorities.
ANY decision as to the lawful and
proper course to he pursued in this
matter will be entirely satisfactory to
the manufacturers, who are giving
employment every day to an increas-
ed number Of persons and are there
by gradually reducing any distress that
has been occasioned by this unfortu-
nate strike"
