THE NEWTON EVENING KANSAN-REPUBLICAN FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1906. PACE EIGHT. BARNUM'S a crisis at once. So long as the army stands loyal to the government the people can do little except make disturbance. But if the army gets the spirit of freedom in its heart, then Mr.

Czar and Mr. Autocracy had better hide. Coming into the port of St. Petersburg last week I saw a Spanish warship which I was afterwards told GDiiB Dooips aire Open for Business notwithstanding the alterations' now in progress.

There is a great deal of the brute in the animal man. A little over a century ago the enlightened and cultured people of France went crazy for blood. Only a short time past a lot of American citizens in Missouri burned to death two defenseless negroes and men and women danced around the awful scene. So what are we to expect if the poor ignorant Russians, raised to believe in brute force, should take it into their heads to revenge themselves upon their oppressors? Everybody I met ih Russia hoped that this would not occur but everybody believed that it might. The Russians have the best railroads and trains on the continent, largely because they got their original ideas on the subject from America rather than from Europe.

When the first railroad was planned the czar was asked whst route it rrn.it take He laid down a rule and drew a straight line from Petersburg to Mos-crw, and the railroad was constructed the convenience of the towns between. The Russian government runs and operates all the railroads in the country and It has made good roadbeds and put comfortable, first class cars on the tracks. Th3 road that has brought us from St. Petersburg in a nice sleeping car (compartment plan) is as good as we have Good Bye to Russia. Editorial Correspondence Hutchinson News: Wyrballen, Russia, July 24.

List night we left St. Petersburg and did not know at the time exactly how wise we were on departing. The day was Sunday and we spent it at Peterhof ronming around the beautiful garden and in and out of the gorgeous palaces, meeting no English-speaking people except our guide, who would not have known a politicti crisis if he had met one on the public street in broad daylight While we were surreptitiously putting our feet on the furniture of the palace, only mile away Czar Nicholas was making public his decision to dissolve the duma. We returned to the city in the twilight and noticed a strange and peculiar feeling in the atmosphere. Groups of people met and parted on the street and small companies of soldiers or mounted police kept riding through the crowds dispersing them and keeping the individuals moving.

In other parts of the city they were arresting suspected people suppressing the newspapers, but our road to the hotel and back to station was a main avenue and between soldiers' hfcjrracks and was not exciting except for the movements I have mentioned. In fact martial law had been declared in St. Petersburg and the military was in full command, but we did not know it at the time and I only had a feeling of waiting to hurry out of Russia which chased up and down my spinal column until the train had gotten a good distance from the city. Of course there was no danger for foreigners. But the first move in the attempt at revolution if it does come will be a railroad strike and nobody would want to be tied up in some Russian town 500 miles from nowhere.

From a passenger on the train who could talk a little German I learned something of the facts but as yet I do not know near as much about the situation in Russia as the people in Hutchinson when they read the News this evening. In other letters I have referred to the possibilities of what would happen in case the czar dissolved the duma and thus challenged the advocates of a representative government to a fight.

The farm houses are small and often partially "dugouts." If I were looking 'for a people who ought to 'revolute" I would come straight to Russia. But if I were looking for people who would know how to car- cary on a successful revolution and i form a government I would never pick out the subjects of the czar. In a( short time we will cross the frontier and be on German soil. I have accumulated a large number of in America, but I have suggested it is operated on the American style. There are slower, cheaper trains, with poorly ventilated and uncomfortable cars, in some of which the passengers roost like chickens in cars that are like double decked cattle cars at home.

They couldn't take American ideas straight and had to Russianize them for third and fourth class pesengers. There are no accidents in Russia. I suppose an employee who left a switch open would get a aiuauic lutaa auuui; ituooiu uau would be glad to give to the czar or the duma. But I warn Russialn sub scribers to The News that they will not get the papers containing these letters. The government does not to Siberia instead of thirty days' like newspapers anyhow.

A friend of mine told me that when he went to Russia he had a lot of things in his trunk wrapped in old papers. The customs officers paid no attention to vacation and consequently he doesn't go to sleep. Every station and I suppose every train has its' "ichon" and the only suggestion I will have to make to the Santa Fe when I get home is that it should get some, ichons.
