Russian radicals waiting for results of general strike

St. Petersburg, Aug. 6 ? The revol
tion is hanging fire pending tbe out
ome of the general strike order,
eventy thousand laboring men quit
'ork today but the railroad men are
esitating. They fear that all will not
)in. That would make it abortive and
it is believed the railroad men are not
anxious to quit any how.
The czar has promulgated an old
statute for enforcement which makes
striking a penal offense.

ITFACK ON ROAD BUILDERS I
IS BASELESS
Jnjust and Untrue Charges Against Commis- I
sion By So-Called Democratic Convention
Are Without Foundation in Fact
One of the phases of the present cam
aigu that is attracting not a little at
sntion is the unwarranted and unjust
ttack of the so-called democra tic con
ention held at Juneau last month on
be Alaskan road commission, eonsist
jg of Major Richardson, Capt. Pills
ury and Lieut, Orchard, and having
a headquarters at Skagway. This
ody of Juneau statesmen resolved that
WE CONDEMN THE PRESENT
SO AD COMMISSION AS COSTLY,
ITLATORY AND WHOLLY INEF*
'ICIENT."
In the tirst place the road commis
ion had had Uttle oppoptunity ;to be
ostly when that famous Juneau pro
lunciamento was given to an unsuspec
Dg world, and it certainly had not been
ilatory. The commission was orga
lized May 15, 1905. It was two weeks
iter before It was given possession of
,ny funds, and then but $5,000 were
urned over to it. Two months later it
eceived 311,000, and in still another
wo months it received $12,000 more,
uiking $28,000 all told to come into its
lands last year. This year it has re
ieived $30,000 from the license rev
snues of the district and $150,000 from
i special military appropriation. This
noney has just become available, the
uilitary appropriation not having oeen
ipproved by the president until June 20,
less than a month before the action of
-he Juneau statesmen.!
With the $28,000 it received last year
fie road commission |was compelled tc
make a reconnaisanoe of the entire d'lS'
trict for the purpose of ascertainini
the road work required in the variou:
sections where development is going:
| on. The proposed roads were surveyed (
I in Southeastern Alaska ? one at Haines
land the other near Ketchikan? at a 1
I cost of $t>21 and $625 respectively. c
I These roads were surveyed? not merely 1
located? but surved so that contractors '
| could bid upon them intelligently in ac- 8
I cordance with the requirements of the I
j law. There were not sufficient funds s
| in the hands of the commission to build '
j them until this year. The road at Ket- j
Ichikan is now being built and the
Haines road will be completed before
tl e end of September.
la addition to these surveys last year
the commission built 935 lineal feet of
bridging, 3032 feet of rock blasting,
2950 of grading and 12 miles of clearing
on the Yaldez and Copper Center road.
It completed eight miles of road in the
Fairbanks country, causing a reduction (
of the freight rates between Fairbanks
and the creeks of that section of $100?
a ton? a larger sum than the rate ob
taining between Seattle and Fairbanks.
It made a reconnaissance of the road
between Valdez and Fairbanks, a dis
tance of several hundreds of >nile9 and
| prepared plans for the expenditure of
$00,200 on it, and it completed an in
spection of the Seward peninsula, de
cided upon the work needed there and
adopted plans for it.
Liter in the winter the winter trails
in the vicinity of Nome were flagged
so that, they might be followed over the
treeless tundra upon which many hu
man lives have been sacrificed because
' of the difficulty of distinguishing it
duringor immediately following a storm
' when drifting snow had obliterated all
