have front feet with claws of a cat
and hind feet with those of rabbit.
In moving about they hop as does a
rabbit. and their "meouw" Is more like
"a Erunt or a faint bark.

VICTORY FOR czAR's MEN
Przemysl Is Taken After a Prolonged
SieQe-Garrison Was Near
Famine,

Petrograd, via London.-The Prem
ys1 garrison, which c~apitulated to the
Russian army, surrendered without a
fight.
The hosting of the white flag ver
the fortress, which was said to- be on
the point of surrender on a number of
occasions, caused little surprise. It
was generally known that it was in a
terribly weakened condition., without
food or ammunition, and it's endur-
ance vas only a question Of days.
War office advices report that nine,
Austrian generals were taken, more
than 800 officers and $4,000 men.
The Russian general commanding
the investing army has been decorated
with ST. Georges cross.
"A heavy snow failed to check the,
enthusiastic demonstration in which.
the civil and military populations
united when the fall of Przemysl was
announced. Crowds, Laundering in
deep drifts, cheered the officers and
soldiers who remained to participate
in the celebrations.
From the Kasean cathedral the
strains of the national anthem swelled
in volume as the crowd gathered. and
from other points throughout the city,
mysteriously hidden behind the dense
curtain Of falling snow, music burst
forth and added to the general spirit
of enthusiasm.

Geneva, via Paris.-A summary o.
what purports to be the conditions on
which the Austrian garrison At
Przemysl surrendered to the Russians
is printed by the Tribune. The fol-
lowing stipulations are said to have
been made:
Efrst-Full honors Of war for the
garrison.
Second-Special treatment for the
prisoners, providing the Officers shall
be paroled and that none Of the troops
shall be sem to Siberia.
Thfrd-The right to transport to
Austria those killed and wounded dur
ing recent attacks.
Fourth-Complete liberty for the
civil population with the right to leave
or stay In the city.
The defenders of the fortress
marched out Of Przemysl to Russian
headquarters with colors flying" says
the Tribune In its account of the sur
render. The Austrian governor sur
rendered his sword to the Russian
commander, while thousands Of Aus
trian troops piled their arms and am
munition in front Of the Russian regi-
ments drawn up in line. The Musco,
vite troops cheered the unarmed Aus
TRANS after their last parade.
"The fall Of Pfzemysl has made a
profound impression in Hungary, as
the flower Of the Hungarian infantry
was included among the defenders of
a city which was considered fmpreg
nab1e."

lagos in Uruiniah, Persia, have been
burned, large numbers OF people killed,
Christian quarters in that section
plundered by Turks and the French
mission there, consisting of 26 chapels
and missions, destroyed, was the gist
of information contained in a cable
gram from Tiflis, Russia, received
here by the Persian war relief com
mtttee. The cablegram also said there
was great danger for thousands of
refugees housed temporarily in the
American mission.
The cablegram was as follows:
"All villages burned except three.
Two Christian quarters of Urumiah
plundered and a great many people
killed. Women taken captives. Fiji.
teen thousand refugees in the Ameri-

Word "MercantiIe" Is Stricken Out in
Measure Signed by Governor of

Little Rock, Arkansas. Some.
time between the passage by the re
cent legislature OF the minimum-wage
bill for women and last Saturday,
when Gov. HayT signdo the measure,
the word mercantile was stricken
from the list of establishments to
which the bill applies.
This discovery, made by two union
labor officials, renders the value of
the bill doubtful. although State La
Dor Commissioner Clary said he be-
lieves the bill may be mad to apply
TO mercantile establishments by the
commission created by the bill, which
has power to regulate the wages o.
women workers.

INSUR[S FINANCING
S|sAL HEMP CROP
WARsHIP TO CARRY MONEY TO
YucATAN FROM GAL
WESTON.
NECESSARY TO MOVE TWiNE
Ready for Shipment at Progreso, the
Port, and Merida, the Rail-
way Center OF
Yucatan.

Washington.-An American WarShlp
will take to Yucatan money to finance
the movement of Mexican sisal hemp
the American wheat crop this year
The money-$625, 900 in currency
which the manufacturers propose to
advance to the hemp growers-is in
banb vaults at Galveston, Texas, but
until recently no safe means Of getting
it to Mexico had been found.
Secretary Daniels agreed to permit
the use Of a warship after hearing sisal
purchasers outline the difficulties that
had been encountered. It is probable
that a gunboat or a destroyer now in
southern waters will be sent to Gal
weston to transport the money.
There is said to be some 100000
bales of sisal ready for shipment at
Progres0, the port, and Merida, the
railway center OF Yucatan. Since the
United States government prevented
Carranza from blockading Progreso
the chief obstacles in the way Of NOV
ing this supply have been scarcity Of
labor and shipping facilities. A number
of ships are waiting cargoes, however,
and the labor situation is improving,
according to reports to the state de-
partment. Arrival of the American
money is expected to result in imme-
date further improvement.
Discussing the Mexican situation
generally, Secretary Bryan commented
on conditions with a reiteration of the
declaration that recognition Of any
faction lac not been considered by
this government. He spoke hopefully
of the plans to insure transportation
of sisal and announced receipt of an
official announcement of regret by the
Zapata government Of murder of the
American citizen, John B. McManus,
in Mexico City.
Concerning conditions in the Mex
lean capital the secretary had no Sc
rious complaint had been received by
the department recently. Asked If
matters had progressed far enough in
the reyolution-torn republic to affect
any change in the policy of the United
States, Mr.. Bryan gid that there was
no change of policy.
'aThis government has not consld-
cred the question Of recognition of
any government in Mexico az yet" he
added.
Reports to the department indicated
that Gen. Obregon with his CarranZa
force, concerning whom nothing had
been heard for several days, had
reached a point 40 miles north of
Mexico City. Carranza troops at Mata-
moras we're said to be in trenches in
expectation of an attack by the Vii
listas, who are about 50 miles from the
city.
