This bold movement was suc- cessful. At noon columns of Japanese cavalry were encountered, but meeting the fire of the trans-Baikal battery, the Japanese fled, with Cossacks in pursult. A battalion of Japanese in- fantry opened fire from a village. The Russian left, which had changed front, advanced and forced the Japanese to abandon the village.

LONDON, Feb. 20.—Hugo Paderewski’'s manager, is for the rather surprising statement that owing to unfair treatment re- ceived by them in Berlin, six of the greatest musical artists of the twen- tiath century, including Paderewski, de- cline to accept engagements in the Ger- man capital at any terms.

Gorlitz savs that since Paderewski was insulted the two De Reszkes also Gorlitz, authority Caruso and Kubelik all have received such unfair treatment from musical critics in Berlin that nothing will induce them to- visit the city. Apropos of Paderewski, an account has just come to hand of a graceful little act which the pianist performed in Auckland, New Zealand, during his recent tour. A concert which Pad- erewski had advertised at Auckland, having been abruptly abandoned, thirty music lovers who had traveled long distances to attend the recital went to Paderewski’'s hotel for re- dress. As soon as the pianist under- stood their errand he had the whole party up into his private apartments, that, Melba, them and insisted on all hands having supper with him afterward. SHAW SCORES SHAKESPEARE. George Bernard Shaw, having been rediscovered in the United States re- cently, the go-ahead managers of the Court Theater, who also are going to produce plays by Ibsen, Briex, Mae- terlinck and W. B.

This statement was made by Vice President Drake of the road. After stating in his letter that he Rad returned the first fee because he considered it was compensation in vio- lation of the President’s order, Grun- sky quotes the minutes of the Canal Commission meeting held just after he had returned the fee and which con- tain the statement of Admiral Walker “that the President did not consider the fee ‘“‘additional compensation,” and that it was not In violation of his own order. Grunsky, however, did not ex- plain in the letter that afterward he had taken the fee. Mann asked Walker if it was not his opinion that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, controlled by the Union and Southern Pacifle railways, was interested in keeping up the steamship rate between San Francisco and New York. Walker saild thas it was not until the Panama Railroad Company had threatened to break with the Pacific Mall Steamship Company that it secured any considerable amount of through freight.

It entered upon a criminal policy In the Far Past, whieh has cost the people tens of thousands of lives |and millions of hard-earned money. Con- | Eclous of its goal. the intelligence of the stu- | aents has long conducted a stubborn fight to | obtain the most elementary human rights, | often falling fainting before the brutal force | of an unbridled Government. until at last the | proletariat entered the historic arena and, at the same time, as it cams to the knowledge of | itself, dealt Czardom the heaviest blow. ~The recent bloody Incidents have clearly shown that absolutism is capable of no_defense of | its pititul, shameful existence. The sincere, fraternal, harmonious action of the proletarlat |on these days of January signed the death | warrant of absolutism and without doubt in- | sured the epeedy political liberation of Russia. | We, as o faction of the educational commu- nity, consclous of our goal, welcome the | solidarity of the workmen and put forward the ollowing demands: 1. The symmoning of a legislative assembly on the basis of & universal, equal and secret ballot of male and female citizenship, freedom of spesch. freedom of the press, freedom of organization and strike. 2. Amnesty for all who have been punished hr their political or religious convictions, The fact of belonging to any particular | nationalicy shall not prefudice political rights. | Further., as a guarantee against interference | of the Russian Government in the free execu- of to strike, jon of these demands, a people’s militia must | immedtately be formed in whose ranks all citi. zens can fight to realize our aspirations. | There is no confirmation of the re- port that Emperor Nicholas has decid- ed to issue a decree on March 4 con- vening the zemsky zabor. The joint commission of employers and workmen instituted by the Em- peror to investigate the causes of labor disturbances, is now taking shape. The | workmen of a number of large facto- |r‘les have already elected representa- tives to the assemblage which will choose the labor members of the com- mission. The Putiloff Company’s men have taken a bold step in selecting among their men representatives who were put into jail after the affair of January 22, including Inozemtzeff, the vice president of Father Gopon's or- ganization. “These are our leaders,” say the workmen; “now see if the Government is sincere in saying it will allow us free choice and immunity from arrest.” The peasants of two communes in the Province of' Voronesch, in South- west Russia, have taken the unprece- dented step of telegraphing direct to Emperor Nicholas, asking that their wishes be consulted in the settlement of ::e grievances in the matter of ren —_—————————— Mich, Feh, 20—Mra, Carre Jos. 2 with, polson, and Isaso Bwan: a both men- o= SCEN. MINATING IN THE. IN. ST PETERSBURG DURING THE STRIKB RIOTS IN Ci TRAGEDY OF THAN 500 WORKING MEN AND WOMEN WERE KILLED OR WOUNDED. JANUARY, JANUARY 22, IN WHICH MORI REES ESCAPES FROM BELNONT Howell Caradoc Rees, the New York clubman, whose recent eccentric ac-| tions at the Palace and St. Francis hotels culminating in his threats to kill a friend named Gignoux, his arrest | and final sequestration in a private sanitarium at Belmont, made a recent sensation, escaped from that institu- tion last night and walked back to the city. Late last evening, hungry and foot- sore, and bearing noticeable evidence of having made a long and rough over- land trip, Rees suddenly appeared in the St. Francis Hotel bar. There he procured a drink and then returned to the hotel office, where he told the clerks that he had only a few hours before escaped from the Belmont Sani- tarium. His eyes were bloodshot, his formerly full face rather drawn and his clothes soiled with dust. To the hotel clerk he said he had walked from Belmont, but later he referred to an experience on an electric car, which ,suggested the probability of his having ridden part of the way. “I won't take a room to-night,” re- marked Rees, “for it is too late,” and turning around he marched out of the hotel, whistling loudly. To several guests of the hote], who had met him while he was staying at the St. Fran- cis, Rees appeared to be as insane, if not more so, than when he was ar- rested several weeks ago. Rees comes from a good New York family and is a well educated man, who has seen much of the world.' During his several weeks’ stay in San Francisco he stayed first at the Palace and then at the St. Francis. At the latter hostelry he ran up a large bill and was finally locked out. Ris arrest for threatening Gignoux’'s life followed ‘and on January 25 he was turned over to his frignds and placed in the Belmont Sanitatium. A week later -his brother came from New York to arrange for his comfort and eventual removal to a private asylum in New York, whither Rees was to be taken in a few days. —— % | the robbers, CRAND OPERA IN THE SOUTH LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20.—A season of grand opera by the Savage English Grand Opera Company opened at the Mason Opera-house to-night under the most favonble conditions. The open- ing opera was “Lohengrin,” which was sung in English for the first time in this city. The production was’ splen- didly staged and the principals proved to be thorough artists. The principals in to-night’s performance were as fol lows: Lohengrin, Willlam Wegener; Henry 1, Harrison Bennett; Telera- mund, Arthur Deane: herald, Thomas David Richards; Elsa, Gertrude Ren- nyson; Ortrud, Rita Newman; Gott- fried, Frances Powers; conductor, Schenck. The Savage English Grand Opera Company is now in its ninth season, being the first successful organization of its kind during the fifty years’ his- ROBBERS BEAT THEIR TICTINS Two men last night held up the sa- | loon of James Hood, an aged man, at | the corner of Twenty-fourth and Noe | streets. The thieves beat the proprietor and a customer into unconsciousness when resistance to the robbery was offered. One of who gave the name of Edward Welsh and said he was a painter living at 921 Alvarado street, was arrested later and booked at the Mission station on a charge of rob-| bery. About 8:45 p. m. George Davorlen ' of 441 Elizabeth street went to the rear of Hood’s saloon. He saw Welsh | and his confederate attempting to roli | away a barrel of whisky. When he| asked what they were doing the| thieves set upon him and dealt him a.\ succession of blows on the head and | face, cutting his scalp in three places. | Proprietor Hood heard the scuffle and rushed to the rear of his establish- | ment to ascertaln the trouble. Welsh | seized a large cigar cutter and felled | Hood with one blow. While the pro- prietor and customer lay unconscious | the robbers went through the till, took | $7, all it contained, and made the1r1 escape. When Hood recovered conscious- ness he telephoned for the polie, De- | tective Graham and Policemen Cole- | man and Harrison arrested Welsh at| Twenty-fifth and Harrison streets. Hood identified him as one of his as- sailants. Davorlen was removed to the City and County Hospital, where it was| found that he had several ugly lac- erations of the scalp and a possible | fractured skull. Hood was prostrat-‘ ed by the blows he received and will | be confined to his bed for several | days. ‘Welsh’s confederate, who escaped, is described as being about 24 yearsi of age. He wears a slouch hat and light overcoat. Hood and Davorlen say they can identify him if he is cap- tured. The police are still looking for him. At a late hour last night Harry Craig of Twenty-sixth and Castro streets was arrested by Policeman Col- burn and Detective Graham on . the belief that he was Welsh's confederate. He has a bad police record. The po- lice had to break into his room to capture him. He was identified by George Davorlen as one of the men who assaulted him and Hood. Craig was booked at the Mission station on a charge of robbery. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP IN TOWN OF SAUSALITO - Citizens to Decide To-Day Whether City Will Own Its Water System.

There is much of Interest for the- ater-goers in a payroll, which has just come to light, of the old Queep’s The- ater, which used to stand In Long Acre, but wuich disappeareds years ago from the list of London playhouses. This payroll is dated 1367, at which time the present Sir Eenry Irving. El- len Terry: Sir Charles Wyndham, Toole and Lionel Brough all were members of the company at the Queen’s. According to this record Sir Henry's salary at that time was only £2 13s 4d, or about $13 a weok, whereas the pres- ent Sir Charles Wyndham was getting $15 and Ellen Terry, $25. Lionel Brough, who must now be receiving at least $200 a week from Beerbohm Tree. was then drawing $12 50.

Incidentally Shaw has been having another go at the rival for whom he has so eminent a contempt—the late William Shakespeare. In a lecture de- livered at Manchester the other day, Shaw declared that Shakespeare was a snob. “He was born a snob, lived a snob and died a snob,” asserted Shaw.i “His one dream was to get enough | back the property of his bankrupt | family and get back their coat of arms. Do not suppose that Shakes- | peare was a democratic character. He | had no religious belief, and his phil- | osophy was that evil is greater than | good.” Shaw also complained of the want of sympathy for the democracy in Shakespeare’'s plays. “They are crowded,” he said, “with kings and nobles, and the members of the lower classes are always servants.” CALIFORNIA ON STAGE. lay in “A Midsummer Night's in which Bottom, the weaver; the joiner, and their comrades Snug, take part, is called to mind by a the- atrical performance which has just been given in the little English village of Hildenborough, Kent.
