AN APPEAL Tfl PATRIOTISM RUSSIAN OFFICIALS ASK WORK: MEN TO RETURN TO DOCK- YARDS AND ARSENALS. St. Petersburg, Jan. 28.—Reports from all over Russia indicate that the strike situation is flattening out. The authorities regard the danger of a .general tieup of Russian industries as practically over and declare that the attempt to turn the movement into a general political rgvolt has failed. The government's promise of shortexhours of labor has been proclaimed in Mos- cow and other cities and seems to have had effect upon the workmen, ‘The political side of the movement is again sinking beneath the surface. ‘When and in what form it will again break out only the future can deter- mine. The authorities everywhere seemingly are attempting to treat the workmen, whose aspirations are pure- ly economical, without harshness and appeal to their patriotism by pointing out the benefit which will accrue to the Japanese by a suspension of work the arsenal, dockyards, etc. On the other hand the authorities are putting down the revolutionists with a stern hand. The latter have again been forced to cover, meetings being almost impossible. Only two Russian newspapers out of of the four here appeared during the morning. Their accounts of the Sun- day tragedy are colorless. The morgue still contains many unidentified dead. The hands of some of the victims are white and on their fingers are diamond rings, the supposition being that they were liberals of gentle birth in sym- pathy with the strike movement who dressed up as workmen and took part in the demonstrations.

Furs: man, accompaniel by his counsel, D Cady tervick, pleaded not guilty to a charge of consyiracy made against him by the grand jury in connection with the Dodge-Morse divorce tangle. Mr. Fursman was paroled in the cus: tady of his counsel. - The grand jury has handed down'a blanket indictment in connection with the Dodge-Morse case, the indictment containing charges against six or eight men, several of them said to be prom- inent lawyers.

Emphasis was Iaid by Mr Van Cott on the fact.that Senator Smoot had never received a revelation and that there was no indication that he ever would. He declared that Sen ator Smoot was being prosecuted on the ground that his religion at some time might cause him to commit an overt act. He deprecated what he termed to be an attempt to return to the dark ages of religious persecu tions. RESCUED WITH DIFFICULTY. Employes of Burning Planing Mill in New York City.
