UNITED STATES MARKETS. THE ACT IN A NUTSIIELL LADIES" SMOKING CAR. CAT'I‘LE MARKET. The Workmen Refuse to Vote for Delegates. A dcspatch from St. Petersburg says: The primary voting for delegates to re- present the Workman in the final elec- tion for members of the Doumu demon- strated that this State-controlled factories throughout the country are the most ac- tivc centres of the revolutionary prop-'1- giindii. The enipinyes are against us- ing their votes, and tire openly hostile to thc Douma. The men in the Cuban- (:hoif ordnance foundry, near St. Peters- hiii‘g. where 12,000 hands are (‘n‘mlnycd under the direction of the Ministry of War. refused to choose clocim‘s. The \vorki'non in ”H5 Government‘s principal ,. ,- W ‘._...-.,_. cartridge factory at ’i‘ulu refused to Choose any (-I the live delegates allowed under the electoral law. The \‘t'Ol‘ls’l’thll in the imperial railway workshops «t Wanovn and \‘mncssensk also refused to participate in the election. The cut- [le‘iyns in several of the leading indepen- (lent industrial enterprises adopted the same attitude. The men in Siemen an-l llulske‘s electrical works here explained their refusal by .‘sying that as soon ac they canvassed the claims of any can- didate he disappeared from the works and eventually was obliged to quit the loea lit y. HOSTILE TO RUSSIAN DOUMA There are numl‘mrless reports of such interference by the political police throughout the country. The elector cllown by the peasants of Simt‘m‘opol is u school teacher. He was imprisoned {,r. a political charge immediately no was elected. The peasants refused to elect another delegate. An insignificant minority of the peasants participated in the elections in the. provinces. In the L'stujna district of Nijni Novgorod only one thousand received election noticeS, although 8.000 were entitled to vote. A petition for an election has been prepar- at in this district. Where the urban uorkmen vote. as in factories in St. t'eteistnn-g and Moscow. the (:onstitn- tiunnl Democrats almost. invariably elec- ted their candidates. The preliminary otcction passed off without incident, and attracted no attention. A despatcn from St. Potershurgz says: Tin1 growing unrest and agiiuiizm mining (hr Russian workmen is largely due tn the Government‘s repressive measuresu‘i Hw l’rnvincos, and Cspacinlty t0 the threatening situatim in the Dun and othrr regions. At Eimterinostuv 16,000 men of the Hughrs tron Works are :vl- ready reported to have struck. and at Moscow great agitation prevails in the industrial sections.
