~till]. - WAR MAY RESULT Agents of Russian Harass Villagers PEASANTS WILL ANNEX LANDS. The St. Petersburg correspondent. of the London Times cables:â€" Prince Troubetzkoi states that his colleagues at- lrnding the recent congress of marshals concurred in predicting a terrible agrar- ian crisis in the spring. T he peasants will certainly annex lands and civil war may result over a division of the spoils. The only hope of averting a catastrophe Ies in the immediate convocation of the Duma. Prince Troubetzkoi reported in this sense to the Emperor. The sickening tale of oppression,now- ever, continues. I learn from an absoâ€" Iutely trustworthy source that 200 pea- sants of Tver, chosen by the villagers to represent them in the primary elec- toral colleges, have been arrested. it would be impossible to enumerate the wrongs perpetuated daily throughout the empire by agents of the Government, now convinced of absolute impunity. The Government, after forbidding a Mussulman congress at St. Petersburg. has issued a similar interdict. against a Jewish congress. VANITY THAT \VAS FATAL. A despatch from St. Petersburg says: Vanity proved the undoing of scores oil Lettish revolutionary leaders. Desirous of immortalizing their connection with! the armed rebellion. the leaders werel photographed in groups, wearing theirI uniforms. These pictures fell into the‘ hands of the authorities, who thus cas-l tly traced the originals and tried them by court-martial. RUSSIAN STRIKERS SLAIN. A despatch from St. Petersburg says: LieuL-Col. Sergueieff, writing from Coâ€" lomna, near Moscow, furnishes details] of the ruthless slaughter by Government troops along the railways recently. He cites the case of a battalion of the Sem- enofsky Regiment, under Col. Riemann, which was sent along the Moscow- Kazan Railway, to deal with ex~strik-i ers. He says that when the troops reached the station of Golutvin Col.i Riemann with two officers, named Sie- vers and Stictz, left the train with a eonpriny of men. The C0]. ordered the station staff to quit the platform and assemble in the waiting-room, where they were searched. A revolver was found in the pocket of Riemann himself. A local reservist non-commissioned 3t- ficer, attempting to leave the waiting- room, was shot dead by Riemann's hand. Among the others in the wait- ing-room was a man named Patapoff, who had with him his son, 10 years of age, who was found to be carrying a took that contained a forbidden song. Riemann personally flogged the father fiercely. He then seized the cheif rail- way employe and demanded of him the names of all members of the Strike Committee. The man was given 20 min- utes in which to obey, and was told that if he then refused to give the names he would be shot immediately. He protested there had been no local Strike Committee. An order came from Mos- cow condemning him to be shot. He was taken out for execution, but as the man evidently was speaking the truth, eventually he was let. go. In the police list of 18 villagers, only two were found to be armed with re- volvers, but all were arrested. Nine others were collected in a similar way an engine-driver, named Kharlamoff, whereupon he was immediately shot by from the neighborhood. No charge was made against them, nor was any on- quiry held, but all 27 were shot the same day. Serguieff, whose letter, the Russ states, has been continued by inquiries in the district, concludes with the observation that Col. Riemann's actions were in no way a victory over the internal enemy, but were simply the murder of quiet, defenceless people. From other provinces came personal narratives, which go to show that the kind of peace that has been restored, as a precedent to the promised reforms, is the kind that Col. Riemann established along the Moscowâ€"Kazan Railway. WITH MILITARY HONORS. A dcspatch from Vladivostock says: The funeral of the 37 men who were killed by machine guns on Jan. 23 near the commandant‘s house were held in solemn state on Wednesday. ments were made with full military honors. The cannon on Tiger Hill thundered a salute. while choirs, com- posed of soldiers, chanted dirges. Two immense processions, in whim there were thousands of soldiers. sail- ors, and civilians carrying red flags and singing revolutionary songs, and head- ed by the regimental bands. esuortcd the bodies to the cometary. The service was conducted by both Catholic and Ortho- 'dox priests, and the coflins were cover- ed with wreathes hearing such inscrip- tions as. “To the eternal memory of the martyrs," and “To the eternal shame of their assassins."

This petition will be forwarded by Gen. Mistcbenkol ID the Emperor. Government Daily With Impunity. In addition to 37 men killed in the demonstration of Jan. 23rd, 400 were wounded. The machine guns were operated by officers. Fighting in the town continued for the following two days between the Cossacks and the revolutionists and mutineers, in which the Cossacks were unable to hold their own. Col. Urcmnoff was shot by the men in his own regiment. Gen. Mode, who succeeded to the command, agree-.1 on Jan. 26th to withdraw the Cossacks and release the prisoners. 011 .Ian. 27th the soldiers issued this proclamation:â€" “Comrades and Citizensâ€"The city is now guarded by our volunteers instead of by the Cossacks, who have been re moved. Let the fighting cease and order prevail.” The city then calmed down. .â€" MANY BOMBS DISCOVERED. A despatch from St. Petersburg says: The Government is finding ample justi- ication for its sever policy against the revolutionists in the constant discover- ies of bombs, bomb factories and depots of arms and munitions in all parts (1 the Empire. The Novoe Vremya toâ€"day prints half a column of statistics of last week’s captures, showmg the seizure of bombs in a score of Cities and the dis- coveries of numerous bomb laboratories, explosives, and filled and unfilled bombs. Though not included in the No- voe Vremya's list bomb factories have also been discovered here and at. Mos- cow.. To curb revolutionary outbreaks and enable estate owners to defend their property against further peasant upris- ings the Government is distributing the arms captured on the British steamer .iohn Grafton. sunk in the Gulf of B0- thnia, Finland. in September last, and rifles and revolvers captured elsewhere to responsible applicants, and is also permitting the organization of armed :state guards. which are often composed of veterans and commanded by former non~commissioned officers of the regu- lar army. ..__.+_.___ BANK MANAGER SUICIDES. Roderick Mackenzie, of Iiingston, Found Dead Near Road. A Kingston despatch says: Roderick Mackenzie, manager of the Bank of Montreal, was found dead near the Grand Trunk Railway tracks. two and one-half miles east. of the lower station about 8.30 o‘clock on Saturday morn- ing. When the body was found it had not become cold, so that death bad oc- curred more than half an hour previous.

A Dublin despatch says: The Earl of Aberdeen, the new Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, made his State entry into the Irish capital on Saturday afternoon, al- most cxactly 20 years after he entered Dublin to begin his first term as Lord Lieutenant. The streets were thronged with holiday-makers, and there was a profuse display of hunting. The State procession was of the usual character. The Earl and Countess met with a hearty rectption from the sightseers, the Countess, who is keenly interested in the Irish Industries Association, being a particular favorite with the people. .__â€":+_..â€". SHOT AT MANAGER. Attempt to Murder James Crease at Uniacke, N. S. A Halifax dcspatch says: James Crease, manager of the gold mine at Mount Uniacke, narrowly escaped death on Tuesday morning. He was proceedâ€" ing along an isolated road to the Crush- er, when a shot was fired from behind a barricade of rock. The bullet missed Crease, but killed his dog. He was un- armed, and did not. dare investigate. It. is believed to have been a deliberate attempt at murder, as the owners of the mine have suffered much persecution from parties unknown. A few months ago their crusher and several buildings were destroyed by fire, which was be» lieved to be of incendiary origin. -â€"â€"+ QUEBEC HAS A SURPLUS.

Fatal Explosion Near Train A dcspalch from Montreal says: One man killed. one badly injured, and an engine wrecked are the results of the explosion of a boiler on a Grand Trunk locomotive (207) near Turcol. Village, a few miles from this city, on Saturday exening. Engine No. 207, pulling a Sat- urday suburban train between Montreal and Vaudreuil. left p.m. on the return trip. The engineer in charge was E. F. Brown and the fire- man W. L. Sharp, both of Montreal. The train was about a mile from Turcot Village when a terrific explosion was heard, and the passengers, of whom there was not a large number, became very nervous. The train stepped down after running a short distance, as the grade was downward slightly-at that point. it. was then discovered that both the engineer and fireman had disap- peared from the cab and that the boiler bad exploded. The boiler was emptv. the injector having failed to work, and neither the engineer nor fireman had noticed anything wrong until the ex- pansion caused by the heat had caused the explosion. Fireman Sharp was scolded to death, while Brown, the en- gineer, was blown through the cab window and badly injured. Brown was taken to the General Hospital in this city, and it is expected he will recover. None of the passengers were injured. .___..+.._._.. BELGIANS BUY 50,000 ACRES.

Of the area 20,000 acres have been bought from the Canadian Pacific Railâ€" way and 30,000 acres from W. A. Camp- bell and Hugh Sutherland. The lands are to be placed on the market immeâ€" diately, and active campaign work instituted to bring in settlers till the whole area has been taken up.

"There are now over three thousand children placed in foster homes through out Ontario" reports .I. .l. Elks, super inlendent of the Childwn‘s Department. “Many of these boys and girls would have been in orphanages or reforma- torics or leading idle and vicious lives had they not been helped in this way. They have not. been adopted entirely for their work, for over three hundred were babies and five to six hundred Others were under ten years of age. It would be a mistake to suppose that all these children grow up simply to become domestic servants and laborers. Many of them receive a first-class education and are able to compare with any class of i-hildren in the community in educaâ€" tion and ability. Picking up at ran- dom some of the visitors’ reports, one reads as follows: “Ida has now grown to be a young woman. Her chief gift is in music, and she plays the piano very beautifully; .s also a great help to her foster parent in the general management of the 1 house." Regarding another girl the report reads: “This girl is now finished at. the Collegiate Institute, and is taking a special business course at the â€"â€" Col- lege. Her foster parents have certainly done rmnarkably well by her, and she has fully met their expectations." Regarding a boy who was very dull when sent to a foster home, the report states: “The boy attends regularly at school and is in the third book. Tin- teachcr boards in his home and helps him a great deal. He is a regular at- tcndcnt at both church and sunday- school, and has taken a decided stand for a Christian life." ports might be givena eHsaytstep ETEE “Many other extracts from VISIIt’lI‘x" reports might be given," concluded Mr. Ix'elso, “all going to show that the foster home plan is far more beneficial than the crowded institution, both to the child and to the country." ____+___.. \VRECKED MEN LEFT IIELPLESS. Steamers Near When Va- lencia Broke Up. A dcspatch from Victoria, B. C., says: Frank F. Bunker, assistant superintend- ent of schools of Seattle, a survivor of the Valencia disaster, who lost his wife and two children, arrived here on Wed- nesday by the. steamer Salvor from the wreck, being the last. survivor to leave the scene. He had intended going to Seattle, but has been subpoenaed to give evidence at a Government enquiry into the wreck to commence Thursday. He is extremely anxious to fix the blame of the fact that when the wreck broke up between 12 and 1 p.m. Wednesday there was no steamer off the scene to pick up those who floated out to sea, and Lineman Logan told him there were at least fifty persons who drifted sea- word when the wreck broke up, some of whom might have been saved if the steamers had not all left the scene. On Wednesday morning there were three steamers off the wreck, one at least should have been near. _._.+.___ AERONAUI‘S CROSS CHANNEL. Balloon Started From London Landed in “once.
