Washington, Feb. 1.—It can be said with authority that unless the corporations constituting the alleged “beef trust” shall heed the injunction made permanent by the decision of the suvreme court of the United States the government will institute proceed- ings against individual members of the corporation to enforce the decision of the court. The proceedings will be under the criminal law if such can be instituted. The minds of the president and members of his cabinet are made up fully Gn the question. They have de- termined that the “beef trust™ shail obey the law and now that the highest court in the land has upheld the hands ol the administration it is said they will permit no further “dilly-dallying’ with the subject. At the day’s cabinet meeting the ! president and Attorney General Moody shared in the congratulations of the members of the cabinet on the result of the “beef trust” case before the supreme court.

A general strike is"in el- fect. Those who are not willing to walk. out are compelled to join the strike by threats. Mr. Fouchas aiso reported the receipt of bad news from Lodz and Radom. Affects Economic Situation. It is estimated that the number of killed or wounded at Warsaw is about 100, which is a conservative estimate. The rioting in Poland will largely affect the economic situation. The factories at Warsaw, Lodz, Petrokoff and other industrial centers in Poland have been compelled to gradually re- duce their output and decrease their ‘working forces since the outbreak of the war, which has almost entirely closed the Siberian and Manchurian markets. The result has been that thousands of workmen have been thrown out of employment for man) morths, furnishing a horde of hungry, dissatisfied, desperate men, among whom the news from St. Petersburg produced an outburst of riotous and incendiary spirit. It is feared that a large proportion of these thousands may be utilized by the revolutionary organization in Poland, which is the hotbed of socialism, and the move- ment may develop a purely political character, though there is no indica- tion so far of any co-operation on the part of the intelligent classes of the Polish poulation, which are averse to 2 revolutionary movement.

FOUR A‘DDITIONAL REGIMENTS OF DRAGOONS AND INFAN- TRY ARRIVE. ‘Warsaw, Feb. 1.—Several persons Wwere killed and many were injured in encounters with the troops and police in various parts of this city Monday. The First Aid society has suspended operations, telephonic communication is. interrupted and the conditions throughout Warsaw are such that it has been impossible thus far te ascex- tain the nuiaber of victims. By order of the chief of police the doors of houses are kept closed and wre only opened to admit people living dn the premises. v Two additional reghnents of infan- try and two regiments af dragoons Conditions Very Unfaverable.

Further Heavy Fighting in Manchuria Not Likely at Present. 8t. Petersburg, Feb. 1.—The Asso- 1 ciated Press telegrams from Manchu- 'ria do not indicate developments of ¢ since General Gripenberg’s r Lo abandon the advance. The Japantse-Monday made a demonsira: f.tion in the. eastern district, but ap- parentlyit was not serious. The op- ‘eratiomy of the-Russian right wiil prob ably not occasion further heavy fight- L present unless the Japanese , folloy, up their counter offensive movement, which is not iike- ly in view of dispatches from Mukden saying the coid is more intense, thus rendering the movements of large bod- ies on either side well nigh impossi- ble. One result of the bitter cold has been to greatly increase the mortality among the wounded. Military critics do not express ap- proval of General Kuropatkin's offen- sive, the Novoe Vremya declaring it was a failure and the Russ saying it was neither a reconnaissance in force nor a-demonstration, hence it could only have heen undertaken to capture a strategical point and this object was not justified by events. HOLD CAPTURED VILLAGES. Russians Occupy Positions Taken Dur- ing Recent Fighting. St. Petersburg, Feb. 1.—General Kuropatkin, in dispatches dated Jan. 29 and 20, reports that the Japanese losses in the recent fighting were very heavy, many being bayonetted and sabred. The total number of Japanese prisoners has not been ascertained, but they already exceed 300. The Russian losses Jan. 28 among the advance posts were five officers and fifty men. General luuupau\m says the Japa- nese olfensive was indecisive and that the Russians, who are in excellent spirits, continue to occupy the villages on their right flank captured during the recent fighting. The Russians continue to success- fullv bombard Sandepas, where many Japanese have been frozen to death. GORKY WILL NOT BE HANGED. Hundreds of Messages Begging That Clemency Be Shown. New York, Feb. 1.—Maxim Gorky, the author, is not to be hanged, ac- cording to an American dispatch from St. Petersburg, for his part in the re- cent outbreaks. Hundreds of ielegrams were re- ceived from all over Europe and Amer- ica begging that clemency be shown Gorky, who is now in prison. It i§ even said that some of these messages came to the emperor personally from other monarchs. As a result it is said an oflicial of the government has notified Gorky's companions in the so-called provisional government that their cases will be cleared up within a few days. NUMBER OF ARRESTS MADE. 8uspects Held in Connection With Bomb Outrages in Paris. Paris, Feb. i.—Eighteen arrests have been made here in connection with the throwing of a bomb at a group of police and republiean guards ailer the meeting of the social revolu- _tlenists Monday night. Twelve of the suspecis have been released and the vihers are lield on suspicion. The two §iured republican guards are pro- gressing favorably. The condition of :the three wounded clvihnns is not dan- gerous.

The Japanese are taking advantage of Russian internal tangles ‘and by means of letters thrown in the Russian lines are endeavoring to dishearten the troops. 155 No additional details of the fighting along the Shakhe river are at hand, but the day’s dispatches make it clear ‘that the Russian attempted advance resulted in failure. Tokio reports that according 1o -offi- clal advices the Russians -have left 1,200-dead on the field since Jtm 25. WflUNIlEI] SUFFEH GREATLY ARRIVING AT MUKDEN IN LARGE NUMBERS FROM RUSSIAN RIGHT FLANK. Mukden, Feb. 1.—Constant streams of wounded men are arriving here tenant General Mistchenko, who is in excellent spirits and is receiving vis- itors. According to the official army organ the wounded number 3,500.. The cold is intense and the condition of the wounded causes the greatest anxiety becatuse the exposure of their wounds to the frost induces gangrene. Pre- ventive precautions have been taken, but the wounded are suffering the greatest pain. The Japanese are taking good care to see that the Russian rank and file are not left uninformed regarding the disturbances in Russia. They are carrying on a regular campaign to spread sedition and discouragement among the troops. Letters are daily thrown within the Russian lines de- claring that all Russia is aflame with riot and revolt, arguing that the sol- diers are shedding their blood in vain and calling on them to surrender or desert. The soldiers eagerly read and discuss thess communications, espe- cially acccunts of the events at St. Petersburg Jan. 22. The sincere hope is expressed on all sides that the Rus- slan nation will forego internal dif- ferences and not play into the hands of (he Japanese. OCCUPY RUSSIAN WORKS. Japs Strongly Defendis) Captured Po- sition at Heikoutai. Tokio, Feb. 1.—It is believed that the loss of Heikoutai weakens the Rus- | sian position and will probably compel a material change in the Rusgian front in- that vyicinity. Heikoutai will be strongly defended by the Japanese, who are now occupying the ‘Russian works As the ground is frozen it is practically impossible to construct new works. FIGHTING NOT YET OVER. Japs Assume Offensive, but Are Every where Repulsed. St. Petersburg, Feb. 1.—Although the Russians have abandoned their ad- vance the latest official dispatches re- ceived here indicate that the fighting is not over. ‘The Russians continue to hold the captured villages. The Japanese resumed the offensive Jan. 29 and desperately assaulted the Russians, but were everywhere re- pulsed. SMALL PERCENTAGE OF DEAD. Russian- Losses in Three Days Total Ten Thousand. St. Petersburg, Feb. 1.—A telegram from Schiatun, dated Jan. 29, states that the Russian losses from Jan. 25 to 28 were 10,000, but that the per- centage of dead was small. 4 The Japanese- losses ‘were very heavy. Over 300 were made prison- ers. RUSSIAN LOSS IS HEAVY. Left Twelve Hundred Dead on the * Field Since Jan. 25, London, Feb. 1—A dispatch to the Japanese legation from Tokio says Field Marshal Oyama reports that the i Russians have left 1,200 dead on the field since Jan. 25.

Rushes Through Theater With Cloth- ' —ing Ablaze. Clncmnau, Feb. 1.—As the play- goers in'a local theater awaited the -appearance of Mamie Rayburn, a con: cert singer, she rushed out of her dressingroom, a living torch, and ran screaming through the theater. Sev- eral imen threw coats over her and a Dail of water finally put out the flames, buf the singer, burned from head to foot and suffering terribly, is dying in a hospital.

New York, Feb. 1.—Johann Hoch of Chicago, who was arrested lere charged with bigamy and wife aban- donment after a search extending over the entire country, told the officials at police headquarters that he is anxious to return to Chicago at once. He wanted to face the charges against him in that city, he said, and has no intention of oppasing extradition. Hoch was photographed for the rogues’ gallery before being taken to court. ‘When Hoch was arraigned in police court he was remanded back to police headquarters for forty-eight hours.—As the prisoner was® leaving the court- room he said: “Yes, I am the man wanted in Chi- cago, but they are mlstaken as to the charges. I am wanted for some trou- ble | had with my sister-in-law about some furniture.” Hoch, “who, it is alleged, married women, was arrested at a ghouse in West Forty-seventh street by Central office detectives. He .admitted his identity, although, when first arrested, he gave the name of Henry Bartels.

He proposed marriage Monday and she then told the police and his arrest followed. .
