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.

Hay Answers Note of Russia's Com-
plaining Against China.
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.'-. '- ' - - -
Secretary Hay's noteTis plain and
sharp, although framed in the most
polite diplomatic language. Faith ' is
expressed in the declaration that China
has not committed any breach of neu
trality, but has done all possible to
maintain a correct attitude towards
both belligerents. Russia is urged to
abide by the agreement confining the
war to definite limits.
At the same time Secretary Hay for

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

turned women, as well as men, into

Portland, Jan. 23. While the "Spo

bandits entered the rear door of the

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

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

means the loss of precious time in the

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

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.

New California Bill for 1905 Exhibit
Makes Total of $90,000.
Sacramento, Cal. Jan. 19. 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.

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.
