PETERSBURG 13 PLUNGED IN DARKNESS. Trepoff Dlapatches Troops to the Scene of- Trouble, and Soldiers Have Orders to Use Bullets. Thorn, Prussa, Oct. 28. A message from a reliable source in Warsaw re ceived here yesterday Bays that an In cendiary fire that started there Fri day night has not been extinguished, tnd that part of the city is in flames. St. Petersburg, Oct. 26. Warning to to tho people that In case of disorder tho soldiers will Are ball cartridges was postod on every street corner yes terday. Tho city is calmer on tbe sur face under the rigorous measures adopted by General Trepoff, and ho. In order to restore confidence, directed all shop-keepers to take down tho boards from shop windows during the night, and the city awoke to And the shops reopened. Little squads of soldiers are scat tered along tho streets and In tho mar kets to preserve order. Neverthe less, beneath the surface thero Is much excitement. The revolutionists have spread the tidings that a revolu tion has begun and the city is filled with the wildest rumors. A story is afloat that a provisional government has been established. Through the task of continuing the general strike more than a few days scorned utterly hopeless to the prac tical minded. It is significant of the deep-rooted craving for liberty thut tho agitators have experienced little difficulty in inducing all classes of workmen to join In the anti-government demonstration. At a meeting -of delegates from tho professional unions, comprising doc tors, druggists and lawyers, it was decided to strike today until a con stituent assembly Is summoned. The late advices from Minsk, Kleft and Saratoff are disquieting. With a slnglo exception the newspapers ot Kleft havo declared in favor of a strike. All the drug stores in Saratoff aro closed und tho towns are without nrtiflclul light and no newspapers aro published. The Saratoff Town Coun cil has orgnnized a committeo for the protection of the citizens. Tho stores in St. Petersburg havo ceased running and the employes ot the Dureau of Ways and Commuui catloiis and even tho bank and office employes hnve agreed to affiliate them selves with tho movement. The printers have resolved upon a unique demonstration to volco their demand for a free press. Thoy havo decided not to print a single regular news paper today, but Instead to publish clandestinely an uncenscored paper for distribution by the workmen, contain ing the dotails of the proletariat for a constituent assembly. Just when reports were abroad that freedom of assembly would be grant ed, a bad Impression has been created by tho publication In tho Official Mes senger of a belated set of "tempor ary" regulations, threo columns in length, dealing with the right of as sonibly, which will require three to seven days' notice to the police ot tho object of the meeting, with the namos ot the speakers, etc. Then, if permis sion Is granted, the police were em powered to close the meetings If opin ions were uttered which are supposed to threaten public order. Tho Russ, now tho leading organ of the Constitutional party, declares that Count Wltte's accession to power will not sntlsfy tbe peolo unless ho comes forward with a program that meets the wants of the nation. Only abso lutely solid guarantees for the tuturo, tho paper declares, can now renssuro tho peoplo that the past will not re peat itsolf. Privato reports received here aro said to confirm tho stories of the mu tiny on board tho battleship Catherine II, and tho destruction by Incendiaries ot tho battleship Patellomon, formerly tho Knlsn Potomkln, but tho authori ties do not confirm the rumors and tolograms of Inquiry romaln unan swered. ' In tho Interior of Russia the peoplo have nolth mall nor newspnpors and are the prey to the widest Btorios of what Is occurring. This is considered to bo n bad side of tho situation, as it Is foared it many lead to peasnr I uprisings which, in the absenco of troops, may result In frightful excesses. In some towns a reign of terror it roportod to exist. At Minsk tho peo ple havo shut up their houses, ono governor warning- them not to von ' tnro In the streets at tho peril of their lives. I Moscow, Oct. 28. All the employes ot tho water and gas works and stroet railway lines struck yesterday. Tho city continues in a ferment The schools are closed, but thore was no serious violence yesterday. Stonewall Jnoknan'a llnttleii. Stonewall Jackson's negro body serv ant knew before anybody else when a battle was Imminent. "The gvnoral tells you, I suppose," said one of the soldiers. "Iawd, no, Btr!

' Ills lloKpltalltr Is Oulr equaled by IUh Cuurteny, The especial characteristic of tbe Irish peasuuts, according to Prank Mnthew, iu "Ireland," Is an old fash ioned courtesy.

Tnke shelter In any hut on the moun tains, nnd you will bo greeted as if Its liunutes had been longing to seo you. This will not be due to tho fuct that you seem prosperous; Indeed; you would be even more gruclously wel comed If you were in rags. Nor Is their courtesy only exhibited wheu they are hosts. Once when I was exploring tbe Burrcn of Clare a ragged old woman seated by the wayside accosted my equally rngged driver: "Excuso me. sir," she suld, "but did you buppen to meet a loaf on the road? Deed then, ma'am," said ho, bowing respectfully, "nnd I'm sorry I did not" "Who was she?" I asked him when we bad driven out of her hearing. " 'Deed then, nnd I don't know," said be. " 'Tls somo poor soul that bus lost her loaf and will he goln' to bod hungry tonight." On an other occasion an aged man, clad In kneo breeches and a swnllowtnil coat, addressed me nB I was climbing a path lu Couucmura. "I am thinkin', sir," snld be, "that you are Mr. John Hlake." "Well, sir," snld I, "you are thinking wrong." "Well, sir." he answered sol emnly, "says I to my.self us 1 saw you come up the side, thut Is .Mr. John lllake, and if 'tis not. says I to myself, 'lis a. fine upstbandlu' young man be Is, whoever he is." Now I am convinced thut he knew I was a stranger, but was not thnt n charming way to sugpjost that I should sit beside him ou the low ferny wnll and discuss the ways of the world? BORROWED PLUMES. Hott an American Ilecamc n Han of Murk In Kum1ii. Andrew D. White's first diplomatic experience was ns an attnche at St. Petersburg nt the time of the Crimean war. The war brought to Russia many American adventurers. "Oup man who came out with superb plans," Mr. White says, "brouglrt a militia colonel's commission and tho full uni form of a major general. At first be hesitated to clothe himself lu ail tils glory, nnd therefore went through a process of evolution, beginning first witli part of his uniform, nnd then lidding more ns his courage rose. "During tills process ho became the standing joke of St. Petersburg, but later, when he hnd emerged lu full nud final splendor, he became a man of mark; indeed, so much so thnt serious dlitlcultiea arose. Throughout the city are various corps de garde, and the sentinel ou duty before each of these, while allowed merely to present arms to an ofllcer of lower rank, must, whenever he catches sight of a gen eral officer, call out the entire guard to present nrms, with the beating of drums. "Here our American was a source of much difficulty, for whenever any sen tinel caught sight of his gorgeous epaulets in the distance tho guard was lustantly called, arms wero presented aud drums beaten, much to the de light of our friend, but even more to the disgust of the generals of the Rus sian nrmy and to the troops, who thus rendered absurd homage aud found themselves taking part In something like a bit of comic opera." Exchange. An Old Iinfftidh Dnllnd. "Greensleeves' is a good old English ballad aud tune mentioned by Shake speare in tho "Merry Wives of Wind sor' and has been n favorite since the latter part of the sixteenth century. The tune is much older than the words, probably as old as the days of Henry VIII. It is nlso known as "The Black smith" and "The Brewer" and was a great favorite with the cavaliers. A modified version is found in tho "Beg gars' Opera." Tho tune Is still sung to "Christmas comes but once a year" and many other songs of ttto some rhythm or with the burden "Which no body can deny."

A Whip In the Falplt. A writer In an English review tells a reminiscence of a brother of a fa mous dcau of Chrlstchurch. The brother was rector of a small parish. His eccentricity was somowhat remark able. Ho was a famous whip and drove a splendid team, of which he was very proud. Ho was fond of showing off how ho could flick a fly from either of his leaders' ears with out touching the horse. This accom plishment he transferred to a rather unexpected locality, for ho always car ried his whip up Into the pulpit with him, and woe to the unfortunate mem ber of his congregation whom he de tected nodding.
