Moundsville, W. Va.r Special: Au« gust W. Machen, convicted of postal fraud's, was put to work in the clerk's office in the state prison. The Groffs are In the prison hospital. the workmen in the government's cartridge factory at Vas- silll Ostroff, where 5,000 workers are employed, quit work Feb. 8. Many smaller factories in the same district also have been closed by their hands going on strike. The motives prompting the men to resume the struggle are partly resent­ ment against the constitution of so- called workmen's deputations which have been received by the czar, it be­ ing alleged that they consisted of gov­ ernment overseers, not workmen. A partial strike at the Putiloff Iron works and tho complete tieup of the St. Petersburg car factory gave rise to rumors of a general recrudescence of this strike movement, but the strike has not extended to other establish­ ments, and the success of the manager of the Putiloff works in preventing the great body of workmen from following the example of their, comrades in two of the shops who had walked out gives basis for hope of an amicable settle- moot. •.• The present trouble involves the questions of pay for the time the men tfere out on strike and the eight hour day, which were discussed at a meet­ ing of employers. The employers came to no absolute decision, but de­ termined to adopt a conciliatory atti­ tude. They probably will concede a nine hour day, which will satisfy the employes pending general legislation on the matter of an eight hour day, which will be binding upon employers throughout Russia. At preset six government factories and thirteen private establishments are working fifty-seven hours or less weekly, and twenty-eight other large enterprises more than fifty-seven hours. The question of allowance for time on strike is no so easy of settle­ ment. Some works, including the American Westinghouse company, voluntarily have paid their men for the whole week they did not work, but several large establishments, including the St. Petersburg car factory and the Putiloff iron works, refused to do so, claiming that it would swallow up the most of, their yearly profits. The St. Petersbug car factory al­ ready has paid three days, but is un­ willing to concede more. Gov. Trep- ofT does cot wish to interfere, this question being a purely economic one; but he has intimated to the masters that it is desirable that they should reach a settlement with their men. The students of the military acade­ my of medicine struck on the ground that, owing to police intervention, it Is impossible to carry on their educa­ tion. They demand that the academy be 'clos'ed until freedom is granted them. The police have forwarded to the employers of labor a list of prominent strikers, asking for their immediate dismissal. The director of the Nevske naval construction yard refused com­ pliance, and other employers are sim­ ilarly disposed, because many of the blacklisted men are skilled artisans who cannot easily be replaced. The police of Odessa have seized consignments of revolvers and cart­ ridges destined for the strikers in the Caucasus. Mill Owners to Pay More. Mill owners of Lodz met and re­ solved to grant a ten .hour day. a minimum wage, and an increase of 5 NOGI'S MOST TRUSTED OFFICER. MAJOli GENERAL IOiCHL ' Major Generai lgichi, one of the most prominent of the Japanese sub­ ordinate commanders, was the man appointed by Gen. Nogi to carry out the first negotiations with the Rus­ sians in reference to the surrender of Port Arthui. He performed his duties so well that, there was no hitch or de­ lay in completing arrangements for the sun-under of Gen. Stoessel's ftoops. to 15 per cent in wages. If the pres­ ent strike were purely economic there might be a chance of these terms be­ ing accepted, but as it is chiefly po­ litical the men will be allowed to return only if it suits the purpose of the revolution leaders, and nio one knows who these are. Every one is in ths dark as to-what will happen when the men are paid off. All kinds of rumors are in cir­ culation, and the police and military are thoroughly prepared for any at­ tempt at disorder. As the strikers, however, number over 100,000, the situation is not devoid of anxiety. The masters say if there is no re­ sponse to the whistles after pay-day they will close their mills indefinitely. Little hope is expressed that the strike will be settled, though the men apparently are frightened by the vio­ lence of the agitators. The masters themselves are still not united.

An interesting series of tests under­ taken by the forestry bureau of the national government gives promise of results as valuable as that which this body is doing in other directions. The tests undertaken are with a view to demonstrating that many of our so- called inferior varieties of woods are as useful as those which have here­ tofore been cut in large quantities as most valuable. The natural habit of the lumberman, when timber was abundant, was to cut only those varie­ ties recognized as the best species. Yet it has been found that these in­ ferior species are valuable, now that lumbermen have been forced to cut them. Such work as this, performed by the national bureau of forestry, is valuable, because it tends to the con*- servation and preservation of our for­ ests. If it is found that the inferior species can be cut and marketed at a profit it will be possible in the future to conduct lumbering operations with much less injury to the forest and the better species will be reproducing along with the inferior.
