CWll WAR MAY BMIT Agents of Russian Government Daily Harass Villagers With Impunity. PEASANTS WILL ANNRX LANDS. The St. PeUrsburg coircsponJfii»l o( the London Times cables:â€" I'rince Troiibclzkoi stales Uiat his colleagues at- Iriidiui! the recent congress oi murshals Cf.ncun-ed in predicting a terrible agrar- ian crisis in the spring. I'Iih pea-sants mill certainly nnn'i'.\ lands and civil war may result over a division ol the spoils. The only hope of uvcrling a catastr(jphe lies in the inirnediate convocation of the Duma. P.inee Troubetzkoi repoiled in Itus sense to the Knipcror. The sickening tale -il oppre.s.«ion,now- »-ver, continues. I |.->(U'^ (roiri an (J)30- •ulely trustworthy .soiu-ce that 200 pen- .sanls of Tver, cho.sen by the villagers to represpJil them in tlie primary elec- toral colleges, have been arrested. It would be impossible to piiumerale the wrongs perpetuated daily throughout Ihe empire by agents of tin,' Oovernmenl, now convinced ol absolute impunity. The Governmenl, after forbidding a Mussulman congress at St. I'elersburg, has issued a similar interdict against a J<;wisli congress. VANITY THAT WAS FATAL. \ Jespalcli from St. Petersburg says: >'anity proved the undoing of scores of Lettish revolutionary leaders. Desirous of iiirmortalizing their connection with ! (Ill' armed rebellion, Ihe leaders wcrei jhulographed in groups, wearing their I uiiifunns. These pictures fell into the hands of the authorities, who thus eas- ily traced the originuls and tried them by cuurl-martial. nU.SSIAN STRIKERS SLAIN. A despatch from SI. Pelorsburg says: Lieut. -('.ol. Sergueieff, writing from Co- lomnu, near Moscow, furnishes details c'. Ilie ruthle.ss slaughter by Government. Iioops iilong the luiKviiys recently, lie' cites the ca.sc of a ballulion ofthe .Seni-I cnofsliy Regiment, wndi-r Col. Ricmann, whii;li was sent along the Moscow- 1 Kazan Railway, to deal with cx-strik- 1 ers. lie says that when the troops nached the station of Colutvin C:ol. Riemann with two ofTicers, named .'^le- vers and Slietz, left the tniiu with a con*any uf men. The (>)1. ordered Ihe .-.Ulion staff lo quit Ihe platform and a.-,.se.iiilile in the waitiiigroom, where they were .searchinl. A revolver was found in the pocket of an engine-driver, named Kharlamoff, whennipon li'' was immediately shot Ly Ilii.iriiinn himselL A Ifical reservist non-commi.ssionod of- ficer, utlempUng 111 leave the woiting- I'ooin, was shot dead by Rieninnns hand. Among Ihe others in the wuit- Jng-room was u man uanied f'atapoff, wlio had with him his son, 10 yeai-s of age, who was found to be carrying a book that Contained a forbidden song. Itieiiiann peisonally Hogged the father fiercely. He then .seized the chelf rad- way tmploye and demanded of him the names of all members of the Strike (lommillee. The man wa.s given i!0 min- utes in whi<h to obey, and was told Ihat if hi; then ref\iscd lo give the names be would be shot immediately. lie prole.sled there hud been no local Strdie Comniitlec. An order caine from Mos- f.mv condemning him lo be shot. He WHS taken out for execution, but a.s the man evidently was speaking the truth, t\enluiilly he was let go. In the police li.sl of IS villagers, only two were found lo be armed with re- volvers, but all were arrested. Nine others were collected lu a similar way from the neighborhood, ninde against them, nor iiuiry held, but all 27 Kanic day. Scrguieff, wliose letter, Ih has been conllriiu-d by inipilries in the dislricl, conchides with the observation that Col. Rieniann's actions were in no uay a victory over the internal enemy, hut were simply the nun'der of quiet, llefenccle.vs people. From other provinces came personal iiarrnli^es. which go to show Ihnl the lond of peace that has been restored, as n precedent to the promised reforms, is Ihe kind that Col. Riernann established along the Mcscuw-Kazcn fiallway. WITH MILITARY HONORS. A ilespau'h from Vlndivostock says • The funeral of the 37 men who weie killed by machine guns on .laii. 2:) near Ihe commandant's house were held in KOleinn slate on Wednesday. The inter- nicnls were made with full military honors. The cannon on Tiger Hill Ihundi^red a salute, while choirs, com- posed of soldiers, chanted dirges. Two Imnic^nse processions, in whici ihere uere Ihoiisands of .soldiers, sail- ors, and civilians carrying red flugs and ringing levohlllouary .songs, and head- ed by the rogimenlal bands, escorted Ihe bodies to the cemctary. The scnice was iMmducUd by both Cjtthollc and Orlho- «lii\ priests, and the colllns were cover- •Hl with wre»thej> bcaNng such inscrip- iinns a«, "To the eternal memory ol the marlyrs," and 'To die eltnial shame ol 4heir assassins," The funeral of Col.

In addition to 37 mon killed in the dcinonstralion of Jan. 23i-d, 400 were wounded. The machine gims were operated by officers. I'ighiing in Ihe town conlirnied for the following two days between the Ccssncks and the revolutionists and mutineers, in whicn the Cossacks were unable to hold their own. Col. UremnofI was shot by th^ men in his own regimen!, 'ien. Modi;, who succeeded to ihe command, agreed on Jan. 26lh lo withdraw the Co.s.sucks and release the piisaners. On Jan. 27lh the soldiers is.sued this proclamation:â€" "Comrades and Citizens: â€" The city 'S now guarded by our volunteers instead of by the Cossacks, who have been re- moved. L<;t the lighting cease and order prevail." The city then calmed down. MANY ROMRS DISCOVERED. A despatch from St. Petersburg says: The Government is linding ample jusli- r.cation for its .sever policy against the revolutionists in the constant discover- ies of bombs, bomb factories and depots ol arms and munitions in all parts c f the Empire. The Novoe Vremya to-day prints half a column of statistics of last week's captures, showing the seizure of bomtw in a score of atics and Ihe dis- coveries of numerous bomb laboratories, explosives, and filled and unfilltKl Iximbs. Though not included in the No- voe Vremya's list bomb factories have also been discovered here and at Mos- cow.. To curb revolutionary oiilbrenks and cr.able estate owners to defend their pioperly against further peasant upris- ings the Governmenl is distribuling the arms captured on the British steamer .iohn Grafton, sunk in the Gulf of Ro- Ihnia, I-'inland. in September last, and rifles and revolvers captured elsewhere I.J responsible applicants, and is al.so permilting Ihe organization of armed :slate guards, which are often conipo.sed cf veterans and comnuinded by fonner non-commissioned olTlcers of the regu- lar army.

Fatal Explosion on Passenger Train Near Montreal. .\ despatch from Montreal says: One man killed, one badly injured, and in engine wrecked are the results of Ihe explosion of a boiler on a Grand Trunk locomotive (207) near Turcot Village, a few miles from Ibis cily, on Saturday i:\ening. Engine No. 207, pulling n .Sal- iirday suburban train between Montreal ;md Vaudrciiil, left Vaudreuil at -S.iS p.m. on Ihe return trip. The engineer in charge was E. E. Brown and the lire- man W. L. Sharp, both of Mootreal. The train was about n mile from Turcot Village when a lerrillc evplo.sion was beard, and th" pas.sengers, of whom Ihere was not n large inimber, became [ vi:ry nei-vous. The train stopped clown afler running a short distance, as the ^â- radi! was downward slightly at thai point. II was then discovered that bol'i the engineer and llrenuin had disap- peared froni Ihe cab an<I that the boiler iiad exploded. The ixiiler was eiiipl the injectcjr having failed to work, and ' i^eilher the engineer nor fireman had j noticed anything wrong unlil Hie i \. | pan-sion caused by Ihe heal had caused I the explosion. Fireman Sharp waf j .scalded to death, while Brown, the en- 1 gineer, was blown through the cab window and badly injured. Rrown was taken to the General llospilal in this cily, and it is expected he will recover. None of the pa.sscngers werf injured. CIIILDnEN IN POINTER liOIMES. The Great Ma{orily are Doino Well and Uave Fine lluiues. "There ai'fc now over three thousand children placed in foster homes through- out Ontario" reports J. J. Elks, super- intendent of the Children's Department. "Many of these boys and girls would have been in orphanages or reforma- tories or leading idle and vicious livoij had Ihcy nol been helped in this way. They have nol been adopted entirely for their work, for over three hundred weri' babie.s and five to six hundred others were under ten years of age. It would be a inislake 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 cliildivn in Ihe community in educa- tion and ability. Picking up at ran- dom some of the visitors' reports, one reads as follows : "Ida has now grown to be u young woman. Her chief gift is in music, and ste plays Hit piano very beautifully; iS a' so a great help lo her foster parent in the general management of the house.'' Regarding another girl the report reads : "This girl is n.iw fini.shed at Ih"' fjjiiegiale Institute, and is taking a special business course at Ihe Col- lege. Her foster parents have certainly done remarkably well by her, and she has fully met their expectations." Regarding a boy who was very dull when sent to a foster home, the repori stales : "The boy attends regularly at school and is in the third l»)ok. The Inacher boards in his home and helps him a great deal. He is a lingular at- tt-ndcnl at both church and sunday- school, and has taken a decided stand lor a ("liri.slian life." ports might be givena cHsaytslep ETEE "Many other extracts from visiton' reports might be given," concluded Mr. Kelso, "all going to show that the foster home plan is far more beneficial than the crowded institution, both to the child and lo the country." SHOT AT MANAGER. \lleni|il lu Murder James C.rrnse nt l!niaeke, N. H. A Halifax despatch says; James Crea.se, manager of Ihe gold mine at Mount L'niacke, narrowly escaped death on Tue^dny niorning. He was proceed- ing alfing an isolated road to Ihe crush- er, when a shot was llred from behinl a barricade of rock. Tlu; btillet missed Crea.se, bul killed his dog. He was un- armed, and did not dare investigate. 11 Is believed lo have been a deliberate alteinpl nt murder, as Ihe owners of the mine have suffered much persecution from parties unknown. A fi'w months ago their crusher and several buildings were destroyed by lire, which was be- lieved to be of Incendliiry origin. QUEBEC HAS A SURPLUS.

He is extremely anxious to fix Ihe blame of Ihe fact that when the wreck broke up between 12 and 1 p.m. Wednesdny Ihere was no steamer eft the scene lo pick up tho.se who floaled out to sea, and Lineman Logan told him there were at least lifty persons who drifted .sea- ward when Ihe wreck broke up, some of whom might have been snv«l if the steamers had nol all left the scene. On Wednesday morning there were three steamers oft the wreck, one at least should have been near. AERONAl'TS CROSS CHANNEL. Rallooii Started F'rom London I..an<Ied in France.
