GETTING FULL OF VODKA. Moscow Strikers Cause Alarm Their Lot an Easy One. MOSCOW. Jan. 2S. The situation here tonight is sllghtlymorc threatening. The men in the Industrial section are Indulg ing in Saturday night sprees and have be come turbulent. The disposition of the troops makes serious trouble tomorrow unlikely, but. If the men continue drink ing, there undoubtedly will be disorders. The authorities still hope to avoid blood Khcd and do not apprehend any disorder. They declare that an entire restoration of order is certain. Nevertheless, it any in clination is shown to disturb the peace. they say, precautions already have been taken to prevent it. The higher schools have been closed until February 7 and tiatrols are being continued. The authorities are convinced that the movement here was not occasioned by any real grievances, but is merely the reflex action of the St. Petersburg strike. They say that in many cases the men walked out of the factories under pressure, ask ing employers to pardon them for so do ing, and that they will not fall to resume work shortly. "Factor' hands here," sald a high offi cial to the Associated Press, "enjoy bet ter material conditions than in some other countries, notably In Belgium. The good relations between employers and employes are shown In the absence of dis orders In places where there were no troops." Commenting on the London telegram posted at Moscow, to the effect that Great Britain was supplying money to tie up the Russian arsenals and dock-yards for the purpose of aiding her ally, Japan, one newspaper says: "This is no time for such practical jokes," and another paper declares itself stupefied that the telegram should have been posted. DEFIES THE CENSORSHIP. Russian Newspaper Calls for Reforms Proposed by Zemstvoists. ST. . PETERSBURG. Jan. 2S. All the dallies, except two, appeared this morning In their accustomed form. The others will resume publication tomorrow. The papers are under orders to refrain from all save the most cautious comment on the occurrences of Sunday and the following days, and they do not print any details beyond the official reports, hold ing that, as they are not permitted to print -the truth fully and freely, they "will print nothing further. The Rues, however, indulges in an. open attack -on the censorship, which it de flares to be Inadvisable and inimical to the true Interests of Russia at such a critical time, and appeals to the newspa pers throughout the land to disregard It end print the truth as they see IL The paper serves plain notice un the government that the recent events Indi cate that all Russia is demanding reform and that the proposals of the zemstvoists voice the feeling of the Russian people. The elements behind the movement for the betterment of Russia, it adds, are not pickpockets, criminals or agitators, hut landed proprietors, the educated .classes -and Intelligent labor. In the press, the Russ continues, the Government has an unbiased and conscientious adviser. The rulers of Russia dare not close their ears to all but one set of opinions. The -Russ also prints a 13-column discussion on the labor situation in Russia. Several of the most sensational of the foreign .newspaper correspondents are re ported to have been summoned to head quarters by Governor-General Trepoft and called to account for the lurid accounts of recent happenings which they had sent WORSE STORM IS COMING. Fugitives From St. Petersburg Say Revolution Is Impending. BERLIN, Jan. 25. Foreign residents of St. Petersburg- arc beginning to arrive in Berlin to await developments. Soma Americas and Englishmen who are obliged to remain there to attend to business are sending their families here. The opinion of the arrivals is that the present half-calm is only a period of preparations for greater resistance to the government, and that active smuggling of arms and dynamite Is going on across the Austrian frontier. St. Petersburg society shares the belief that - more serious events and even a revolution are Im pending. The wife of a leading American of St. Petersburg who has arrived here relate3 how a Princess who was expressing the most positive views concerning Governor General Trepoff to a Countess was Inter rupted with the remark: "You talk like an anarchist." "Are you not one?" replied the Princess. "I think we all are now." said the Countess. Spencer F. Eddy, secretary of the American Embassy at St. Petersburg, was nearly ridden down by cavalry on Tuesday, having got in between naif a squadron of Cossacks charging a. crowd and the crowd itself. He ran tnree blocks, met the sleigh of an acquaintance. Jumped on the. footboard behind and escaped. SERGIUS IS THE MAN. He Caused Publication cf Attack on Great Britain. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 28 (5:50 P. M.). The real origin of the charges con tained in tho London telegram posted at .Moscow by Assistant Police Chief Roud neff, to the effect that Great Britain has been supplying money to tie up the Russian arsenals and dockyards for the purpose of aiding her ally, Japan, la now definitely laid at the door of Grand Duke Sergius. The Grand Duke, according to absolutely reliable Information from Moscow, turned over the telegram to a Moscow newspaper, which declined to print it. whereupon, by the Grand Duke's direction, M. Roudneff placarded it in the streets. Grand Duke Serglus connection with the matter Is believed to be greatly em barrassing Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, who Is anxious to avoid a diplomatic In cident. Sir Charles Hardlnge, the British Am bassador, followed up his personal re quest for an explanation, Thursday, with a letter on the subject yesterday, when the same charges in another form ap peared in official papers here. Count Lamsdorff has not yet replied to this let ter, although at the Foreign Office it is alleged that official as well as unofficial papers print telegrams containing news which has not the slightest government sanction.

If they resume their employments the Governor will help them. Otherwise he will take energetic measures to restore order. RED FLAG WAVES IN BOSTON.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few People Know How Useful It Is In Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant purifier In Nature, but' few real ize Its value when taken In to the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; It is not a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and lm purities always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and otner oaorous vegeuioies. Charcoal effectually clears and im proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which col lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin fects the mouth and threat from the pol son of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for tho money Is in Stuat-s Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form, or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char, coal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much Improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use. but on the contrary, great neflt. A Buffalo physician, iu speaking of the benefits of -crcoal. says: "I advise Stu. art's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bow els. and to clear the complexion and miri. fy t-e breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is -really benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but 23 cents a box at drugstores, and although in some sense a. patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuarfs Charcoal Lozenges than In any or we orainary charcoal tablets." SHOWED GOOD FAITH Senator Ankeny. Explains the Stewart Affair. FOSTER'S CHANGE OF FRONT That Alone, He Shows President, Was Cause of Misunderstanding Piles Will Be Consulted and Stewart Mot Confirmed. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 28. Senator Ankeny made bis promised call at the White House . this morning and talked over with the Presi dent the Seattle postmastersblp and the circumstances which yesterday threat ened to place him In a bad light before the Administration. He frankly outlined to the President his position as given In these dispatches yesterday, showing that, in opposing Stewart's nomination, he had acted in perfect good faith and in the In terest and, as he understood, with tho entire co-operation and approval ot his colleague. While unwilling to discuss what transpired at his Interview, Senator Ankeny appeared perfectly satisfied with the outcome, indicating that no mlsun derstandlng existed "between the Presi dent and himself, that the President had a perfectly clear understanding of his at titude and did not disapprove of his course. It Is understood that Ankeny made no request for the withdrawal of the nom ination of Stewart, but it Is also under stood that there will be no action by tho Senate on Stewart's nomination until after Senator-elect Piles reaches Washington. some time next month. Technically speaking. Piles has no say about this apolntment until after March A, but the fact that be halls from Seattle and will soon become a full-fledged Sena tor gives his preferences weight, and It Is believed that If Stewart is not con firmed at this session because of Piles opposition, the President will not be at all disappointed. It looks as though Sen ator Ankeny would prevent Stewart's con firmation. In that event Representative Humphrey will have nothing more to say about the selection of the Seattle post master and the choice will be left to the new Senator. As the smoke of yesterday's Incident lifts. Senator Foster is shown to be in the position of having first opposed Stewart's nomination and then shifted and con sented to his reappointment. It was ins unfortunate method of shifting bis base that came so near causing disaster for his colleague, who had all along been looking after his interests. Had he notified Sena tor Ankeny ot his change of heart, so that Ankeny could have acted accordingly, ha would have spared the Junior Senator a very bad night and considerable uneasl ness.
