Rumanian actress who has been caus¬

ing some exeitement in the boulevardsand th.- Puis do Boulogne by drivingut».mt in taxi.-abs with a formidable un¬

STRIKE IN GENEVA, BLOCKS TRAFFIC

Two Hundred Cab Drivers ParadeStreets of City with Vehicles

at Funereal Pace.

| From The Tribune rorrenpondent. 1

Geneva. May 28.-A "funeral strike" baibeen setting (ieneva on edge for several

weeks, for a hundred cabdrivers have

been out on strike and have been joinedin sympathy by half as many taxi.ab

chauffeurs. The cause of the strike, a

cording to tho disgruntled cabbies, is that

they are not allowed by the police on the

cah ranks at the railroad stations, owingto the fact that for many years a French

company has enjoyed a con»'es"ion pur¬

chased from the Paris-Lyon-MMiterau'eRailroad. Last year, however, the Saris1Federal Railways bought out the French

company, stations and grounds, and thestrikers demand that the monopolyshould ceuse and that they should have

free access to the station. A large sum,

how«********, was involved for the concessionand so the authorities tried to adjustmatters.The cabbies, however, are growing im¬

patient, for the season has begun. Tiie

strike methods adopted are novel and f-

feetive. Imagine a line of lie taxicabs in

Indian file crawling to the station (whichthey are allowed to visit if they circu¬

late"), as at a funeral, and then through

the principal streets, blocking the ordi¬

nary traffic for two hours an»l more dut*«

Ing the procession. The drivers, who are

silent even when chaffed by the crowd,

choose their hours carefully during th;

heaviest traffic. In the first few carriages

are their orators, and when the chief

squares are reached they briefly appealfur support to the piibli»*. who are well

disposed toward the "cochers."'A few days ago the strikers varied their

methods In the wide avenue leading to

the station ball of th» road is "ut>" at

11. -nt. and in the half street the drivers

nfussed their carriages in one huge j¿m.

The gendarmes asked them to "cli-*u- jlate,'' sn«i In reply the -'cochers" In the

first line of battle took their whips an»l

the reins snd departed to a neighboringcflft-. leaving their charges to the police.It t.iok many hours to undo the tangle.

St. Petersburg. May ".'6 Right in Huewith the recent army Increase come thenegotiations between the Russian andl' isian governments on the question of an

enlargement of the Persian Cossack Brig¬ade. As far back as 1875 the Shah Nasr-ed-Din. while travelling through the Cau¬casian province of Frhan, was struck bythe «-plendld appearance of his RussianCossack escort, and determined to ha«>e,such a body. Knglan«! had been negoti¬ating with Persia concerning the dispatchof army officers to train the Persian cav¬

alry, hut the Shah's enthusiasm over theK'issian COssaekB put an end to the Brit¬ish s» heme.Russian officer«, under command of

< oionel Domontovich. took the task in

hand, starting with Ml men. The brigade,im-reased to a thousand, and by lfllO itWas increased t». *l,''*0 men. including fourcavalry regiments, two companies of in¬fantry, two mounted batterlee and twomachine gun "Mettons.Kurds and Shahshevans form the corpa

for the most part, hut there Is a sprink¬ling m" Turkomans and Afghans, twenty-eight .-ommlssioned and sixty-three non¬

commissioned Russian offii-.'ts and -TOnative officers. All these officers, un»lerthe command of ¦ Russian colonel, as¬

sisted by a Persian general, are In charge

¡of the troops. <»f course, the real com¬

manders are Russians, who also get muchlarger salailes. The colonel draws H.''X)from the Persian government and theRussian officers AM a year each, whilethe Ferslan "general gets only ItíOO.In addition, however, the Russian of¬

ficers, commissioned as well as non-com¬

missioned, draw their usual pay from theRussian exchequer, and their pay. to¬gether with the cost of the maintenanceof the brigade in general, is formally andofflciallv secured on the customs revenueof the northern ports.

It is needless to say that this brigadehas throughout been a powerful instru¬ment for the «-xtension of Russian influ¬ence ¡n Persia. The part played by itduring the revolution, and especially on

that historical day, June 23, 190«, of thobombardment of the Mejlis, will no doubtbo still fresh in the public mind. As a

matter not merely of fact, but also ofcontract, the brigade is only responsibleto the Shah, and stands quite apart fromthe regular government and the Ministerof War. Its colonel remains an officerIn the Russian army, acts, therefore,under the direction of the Russian Lega¬tion at Teheran, and obtains his salaryas well as the pay for his subordinatesthrough the Russian bank. He also re¬

ports directly to the Viceroy of the «Jau-i a.-us

What th. Russlanfl are at present anx-

ions about is to extend the usefulness ofthe brigade from Teheran, to which it hashitherto been practically confined, over

the entire Russian zone of influence in thenorth. A beginning was made in this di¬rection last year, when a detachment ofit, under Captain Zapolsky, was sent to

restore order at Hamadan, and a seriesof posts was placed between Hamadanand Kermanshah, which Insured thesafety of the Kerbella pilgrims.Put this function, if regularly dis¬

charged, would obviously be beyond thepresent numerical capacity of the brigade,and, in addition, would clash with theduties allocated to the Swedish gen¬darmerie. The Russians accordingly in-oist that not only should the strength ofthe brigade be increased, but also that thes. rvtce of the Swedish gen»larmerie shouldbe confined entirely to the south, leavingthe Russian zone of influence in the handsof the brigade. But the Teheran govern¬ment has so far resisted this demand,and has been trying (with what success is

yet unknown» to secure the help of Brit¬ish diplomacy against the elimination ofthe Swedish gendarmerie from the north.
