REVOLT IS AT HAND Strike Spreads to Every Industry In Russian Capital. DEATH MEETS PLEA. ANGRY HOBS PARADE STREETS Alarm Is Greater Than Over News or Defeat in Far Eastern War Czar Is Guarded. St. Petersburg, Jan. 21. With riot us strikers to the number of hundreds of thousands parading the streets of the capital city, and the continual spread of the feeling of unrest through out the empire, the Russian govern ment is in a terrible predicament Even worse than the news of the disas ters in the Far East is the alarm felt in official quarters over the domestic Bit nation. Troops are guarding the pal ace and all public buildings, but it is not deemed wise to call upon them to suppress me disorder, eiraui i" ex treme cases. Late Friday evening an organized mob attacked the Marcus cardboard factory and attempted to throw the manager from the window, and it was reported that the strike fever had ex tended to the Alexandrovsk machine works, where 7,000 men are employed; the Baltic cartridge factory, owned by the government, and Baron Streglitz' cloth factory, the latter employing 3,000 people of both sexes ; the state distillery and the Kaller and Beckman distilleries. The employes of the , Russo-American rubber company, the "Youkoff hoop factory, and a new cotton spinning establishment were the latest acquisitions to the tied-up industries At the latter works the police were un able to control the mob of strikers and the military were ordered to their assistance. It was learned-late Friday night that the employes of the State Playing Card factory, the Vagounine paper mills, employing 1,000 t hands, the Atlas machine works, the Wolff Ma printing works and numerous other large plants had joined m the Btrike The city is almost in darkness, owing to the strike of electric light employes, and it is stated that newspaper publica "tion will be suspended. .- The situation grows hourly darker, -and the prospects for a settlement of the difficulties vanished when the min ister of finance refused to receive a del egation of workingmen. Russian Soldiers Shoot the Workmen Who Would Appeal to Czar. St. Petersburg, Jan. 23. Yesterday was a day of unspeakable horror in St. Petersburg. The strikers of Saturday, goaded to desperation by a day of vio lence, fury and bloodshed, are in a state of open insurrection against the government. A condition almost bor dering on civil war exists in the terror stricken Russian capital. . The city is under martial law, with Price Vasilchikoff as commader of over 50,000 of the emperor's crack guards Troops bivouacked in the streets last night and at various places on the Nevsky Prospect, the main thorough' fare of the city.

Washington, Jan. 19 Count Cas- sini, the Russian ambassador, was this afternoon handed Secretary-Hay's reply to Russia's complaint that China is violating neutrality. At the same time the note was dispatched to the Russian ambassador, copies were transmitted to all the European powers which en dorsed the agreement for a limitation of the zone of hostilities in the lTar East.'-.

The fig ures of the total number killed or wounded here, at the Moscow gate, at the various bridges and islands, and at the winter palace vary.- The best esti mate is 500, although there are exag gerated figures placing the number as hieh as 5,000. Many men were ac companied by their wives and children, and in the confusion, which left . no time for discrimination, the latter shared the fate of the men. The troops, with the exception ot a single regiment, which is reported to hare thrown down its arms, remained loyal and obeyed orders . But the blood which crimsoned the snow has fired the brains and passions of the strikers and turned women, as well as men, into wild beasts, and the cry of the infuriat ed populace is for vengeance.

Robbed in City Limits of Portland Portland, Jan. 23. While the "Spo kane Flyer" was rushing ' through the darkness between East Portland station and Thirty-fourth street, shortly before 7 o clock Saturday night, four masked bandits entered the rear door of the Walla Walla sleeper, the last car of the train, and at the point of a pistol com peleld the occupants to deliver their valuables. The robbers -then stopped the train by pulling the air cord, sprang off into the night and disappeared. They fired several shots as the train bloodshed. The community is full of sensational rumors and rioting is gen erally expected. - , In conjunction with the Epiphany celebration, which will occur tomrrow, the meetings of strikers will make the day a critical one for the police. Thus far, however, the strike has preserved a purely economic aspect. The great industrial quarter of St. Petersburg presents the appearance of' an armed camp. The idle lactones are surround ed by cordons of police and patrols of infantry march about the snow-covered Wains., The strikers are led by a priest named Gopon, who is idolized by , the workmen and who represents them negotiations with the emplyers. This is the first great strike in North ern JKussia. , Hitherto tne workmen have been unorganized, , and previous strikes in St. Petersburg have not in volved more than 10,000 men. The strike leaders claim to have funds enough to hold out for a month, but this is doubted, and the lack of money and the privations of winter and per haps government interference are ex pected to make the strike short and sharp.. The strikers, who at first' declined an offer of financial support, are re,xrted to have accepted a contribution- from Moscow. The strike has an important bearing on the war in the Far East, as every day s delay in completing the govern ment contracts with the iron works means the loss of precious time in the starting of the third Pacific squadron MAY FLOAT FOUR SHIPS. GOOD HAT bigoino. Japanese Find Wrecks in Port Arthur Are Not Hopeless. London, Jan. 19. The Times corre spondent at Port Arthur, detailing the damage to the Russian fleet, says the battleships Peresvjet and Poltava can easily be floated, but that the former's constructure is greatly damaged and that the battleship Pallada and the armored cruiser Bayan apparently are not seriously damaged and can be re floated. The four vessels, the corre spondent says, may be saved after great expense, but 'the difficulties will be great, as there is no dockjn Japan for battleships. The battleships Retvizan and Pobie- da seem to be hopelessly damaged. As regards armament, the turret guns were all destroyed before the surrender. Some of the guns of the secondary arm ament are intact, but most of the small guns were removed to the forts. Three days before the surrender tne ships were set on fire with kerosene and mines were exploded alongside. Russians state that the fleet was unfit for service after the engagement of August 15. Coal was abundant and it was used to protect the decks of the war vessels against howitzer shells od saves one the cost of track and car, and will pull almost directly straight upwards until the fork full of hny gets pretty well up. then will travel over mow. Those who have hay-to stack can use this plan by using two tall posts, or one if stack is near a tree which can be used to fasten one pulley to. Set post tar enough away so you can drive load of hay between post and stack. This rigging will not take any mora rope than a track and car. and Is very convenient In small barns. C, O. Bosworth in Ohio Farmer. To Get Kicgs in Winter. A successful poultry raiser was once asked how to successfully get eggs during the winter season and his reply was, "hatch winter chickens from winter-laid eggs." While this is by no means the only thing to do. It Is, be yond question, tbo foundation of the whole matter. It Is impossible to have pullets that will lay eggs during the winter season, in profitable quantities. when these pullets are hatched from late spring or early summer-laid eggs. Notice we say "in profitable quanti ties," for the late-hatched pullet will lay some during the winter, but Its ten dency is toward laying at the same sea son as the egg was laid from which she was hatched. Here, then, is the start for those who seek winter eggs, and if the reader is out for this sort of business he should plan for an incu bator to be set at work In early Feb ruary. Then it must be remembered that the early-hatched bird, especially In the colder sections of the North. will require unusually good care, so that comfortable brooding houses must be provided, with room for txerclse, and in places where there will be no danger of the chicks getting damp or wet If the brooder room is cool it will do no harm, for the chicks will have the brooder to go to for warmth; but the room must not be damp or wet. Chicks raised in this manner and given a good range during the following sum mer will go into winter quarters in fine shape and produce eggs at a profit in the winter. CALL FOR STO.OOO.

As soon as the robbery became known at police headquarters officers were no tified to be on the alert, and a posse of policemen, detectives and railway ofE-1 cers left on an engine for the scene of the ' robbery. Officers guarded the bridges and the Vancouver ferry. The posse spent the night lroking for evi dence at the scene of the robbery and m searching throughout the neighbor ing country, but nothing was found. Two men were arrested at The Dalles when the train reached there.

Action toward providing an appropriation to insure a creditable representation of California at the Lewis and Clark in ternational exposition at Portland this year was taken today, when Assembly man isliss, ot Alameda, introduced in the lower house a bill appropriating $70,000 in addition to the sum of $20, 000 set aside by the last legislature for the purpose. This makes a total of $90,000, and is deemed sufficient by proper handling to make a first class display, with what aid the various counties will give by supplying ma terial. . The bill passed by the last legislat ure names Governor Pardee as commis- sinoer to the exposition, and gives him direction of the expenditure of the $20,000. The one presented by As semblyman Bliss today makes no . pro vision ior commissioners, mere is a plan to amend the bill in committee, so that it will provide for two honorary commissioners. ' - It is not thought the chief executive will have any trouble in securing nonsalaried commissioners to serve the state. . Troubles of Horses. In the winter season of the year, when most farm horses have rather an easy time of life, there is likely to be more or less liver and kidney trouble among them, due, to some extent, to the liberal feeding and the Inactive life. Oftentimes these troubles develop In an attack of acute indigestion, fre quently mistaken for colic. -The first thing to do with a horse that Is not eating well is to give a dose of nux vomica three times daily until it re covers Its appetite. The dose is twen ty, drops of the tincture given on the tongue; just before eating. The oats given the animal should be ground and In the grain giveh in the morning should be placed a half ounce of pow dered nitrate of potash. Then prepare the following general condition pow der, which acts well on both kidneys and liver, and give the animal a heap ing tablespoonful once a day, prefera bly at noon. In two pounds of ground flaxseed mix four ounces of powdered gentian, five ounces of ginger, three ounces , of powdered sulphate of iron and two ounces of powdered charcoal. See that all the Ingredients are mixed thoroughly. This powder will tone up the system of the horse generally. A Wagon . Tongue. It is not always possible to have a two-horse wagon sufficiently light for long distance driving where it is best to use two horses. - The Illustration shows a tongue which may be easily made by a local blacksmith at small expense, for use on a light one-horse wagon. " The Illustration needs little description, the main points being to hare the pole made of tough lumber Change Sheep Paatnrea. The sheep pasture must sometimes havo a rest from the sheep on account of the deposit of the eggs of intestinal worms of sheep. In some old pastures these rggs are spread by the millions. This is particularly dangerous ground to be fed over by young lambs. The man who has more than one pasture will find himself in an advantageous position in case of "trodble with Intes tinal worms. He can simply change his sheep run from one pasture to the other. Such a change is not necessary ' unless there are signs of the worms among the sheep. A "Winter Wheelbarrow.
