WANT THEIR OWN LANGUAGE EMBASSY TO PACIFIC COAST EVEN MAID-SERVANTS STRIKE THE MORNING QRBGONIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1905. Socialists Carry Strike Movement Far and Wide Advance in Wages Demanded and Alcohol Shops Are Burned by Mobs. WARSAW, Fob. 27 (10:30 P. M.). According to reliable information reaching Warsaw today, the Polish peasant revolt, In view of the fact that the peasants number 7,000.000 out of a total population of 10,030,000, will, if It spreads, result in disorder far greater than anything that has arisen tiuring the present agitation. The peasants hitherto have not figured to any great extent in this agitation, which is confined to the 2,000.000 work men in the cities and towns. The So cialists recently sent emissaries into the country districts for the purpose of stirring up the villages. According to reports, they met with, speedy success. As 75 per cent of the peasants are unable to read, they are easily led away by Socialist oratory. The movement began at Praszka and extended at once to Plotzsk. It has reached serious dimensions in the dis trict of Siedlie, where a majority of tho Greek Catholics or Unlats reside. These, being exceedingly embittered by religious persecution, quickly joined In the agitation and approached the landed proprietors with a demand for an increase of 50 per cent in their wages. Their demands being refused, they promptly struck. In many in stances the peasant strikers resorted to violence. Disturbances iave been reported from nearly 40 villages, where strikers burned government alcohol ehops, the authorities making no at tempt to interfere. The peasants real grievances are in connection with the language and eco nomic questions, without any revolu tionary ideas. They smart under the methods of the local bureaucracy in making obligatory the use of the Rus sian language, which they Jo not un derstand. It is stated that already 130 villages have declared that they will not receive- official proclamations in the Russian language. While there ap pears to be no real danger of a peas ant revolutionary movement, a gen eral revolt against the compulsory use of the Russian language is gener ally feared, and among well-informed men in Warsaw tonight the situation is regarded as far from reassuring. The police In several districts In Warsaw demanded an increase of pay o': Saturday. This was granted on Sunday and all the strikers returned to their posts. The entire force is now -working. The autnorilles are in truding the military in police duty in order to be prepared, in the event of further disturbances, and conse quently most of the policemen are ac companied on their beats by soldiers. RELEASED AND AGAIN ARRESTED Gorky Removed to New Prison, Vhence He Will Be Exiled. ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 28.-Maxim Gorky had but a short glimpse of liberty today. Released on $5000 bail, the noted author was immediately rearrested and conveyed to a place of confinement pend ing deportation to some distant city or province, where his continued resistance, it Is thought, will not be so dangerous to the welfare of the government as it would be here in St. Petersburg. The release of M. Gorky was effected by order of Governor-General Trepoff, after the friends of the writer had overcome obstacle after obstacle and won the grudg ing consent of the hierarchy and officials to tho signing of the mandate admitting him to bail. The rearrest also was the act of the all- powerful Governor-General, who is un willing to allow such a firebrand to be at large In the capital of which he is prac tically the supreme ruler. M. Gorky knew nothing of the Govern or's decision when the doors of the cell, which had been his home for the past five weeks, swung open. His disappointment, therefore, was pitiable, when, Just as he was passing out of the great gate of the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, he was again placed under arrest. His appear ance indicated that his health had suf fered from the effects of his confinement. even though the rigors of prison life had been relaxed in his favor.. In the custody of two officers of the Do partment of Secret Police, which is charged with the protection of members of the imperial family, Gorky was placed in a closed carriage and conveyed to the headquarters of the secret police, in a house formerly belonging to the poet Ruskin, -where he will spend the night. pending the receipt of orders assigning hlB place of future residence. In an interview today before his release. Gorky said: "The consequence of my shooting myself some years ago is1 that I have ever since had a weakness of the chest, which this prison confinement has increased. I am troubled with night sweats, and have a bad cough. The atmosphere of my cell has developed inflammatory rheumatism in me. "I am imprisoned here because of a his torical sketch of 'Red Sunday in pencil, without address or signature, which was found in my pocket when I was arrested, The Imperial Procurator of Gendarmes consented to release me on a 10.000 ruble (J5150) ball. The Moscow millionaire, Sava- morozoff, offered to become my security but General Trepoff opposed my release. 3 have written a drama In my prison." JEWS CLAMOR FOR EQUALITY Christians Attack Rioters and De fend the Czar. THEODOSIA (Kaffa), Crimea. Feb. 27. The recent disturbances here have been greatly exaggerated.

"Down with the "zar," "Give us equality." A rope had been placed around the statue of Alex ander III, with the object of overturning ir, when the police dispersed the crowd Some unimportant conflicts occurred be tween Christians and Jews, the former declaring that there were still people In Russia who would defend the Czar.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 24. (To the Sport ing Editor.) I notice that I have been the subject of much adverse criticism in Port land, and particularly in your paper, on ac count of a same of baseball to be played In Bakersfleld. March 12, by the Chicago and Tacoma clubs. I want trt make a plain statement of the facts In the case, as 1 think the matter has been wrongly represented to you, and I think that after reading what I have to say jou and all other fair-minded persons will agree that my stand Is the proper one. Announcements had been made by all the clubs in this league of the places in which they were to train, and Portland had select ed San Jose. After tome trouble and expense I had arranged a game of lall for my team to play Chicago at Bakereneld. and about one month later Mr. McCredle announced that he had changed his training ground from San Jose to Bakersfield and asked me to relinquish to him the game Which I had planned and taken the trouble to arrange and advertise. Tou will see that this prac tically means the putting the hands of Mr. McCredle into the pockets of the Tacoma stockholders and allowing him to take out of them the proceeds of this game. X am at all times alert to the interests of my club, and If the managers of other clubs have not the necessary foreslghtedncss to arrange these matters for themselves. I surely am not to be cenxured for their lack. However, when Mr. McCredle breached this subject to me, I immediately communicated with Mr. Brans, president of my club, and asked his view of the matter. Mr. Evans flatly and absolutely refused to consider any such proposition, and so the affair rests. Another misrepresentation to which I wish to call your attention is published in your issue of February 20. You say that this has been made a league matter, and that the league has decided that I am entitled to the game. This is positively untrue. Mr. Ely wrote to Mr. Bert, asking him to compel me to relinquish this game, and Mr. Bert's reply to this was that it was entirely out of the province of the league to decide this matter, but if It had the power bo to do. It would decide that I was entitled to it. Trusting this will put another aspect on this much-mooted question of "rights and privileges." - M. A. FISHER. Manager Tacoma Baseball Club.

WASHINGTON. .Feb. 27. Chairman Paine, of the Houso ways and means committee, today filed a report favoring the passage of the Curtis .bill providing for the free entry of products from the PhlllDnine islands, except sugar and to bacco, on which 25 per cent of the Ding- iov tariff is to bo collected. Tne report declares that the only logical result of our possession of tne islands is iree iraue. It has been definitely settled. It says, that we will retain the Islands until their population is fitted ror seii-governmem,-and he repeats Secretary Taffs sugges tion that this will be at least one genera tion. Until tho treaty stipulation between the United States and Spain shall expire in ISO, all tariff advantages given by the islands to the United States must be given to Spain, and for this reason re ciprocal free trade Is not feasible. The present bill, says the report, goes as far as Is practicable under these conditions, and It Is believed no American industry will suffer by Its enactment. Effort to Get Nan Patterson Free.
