The ordinary rou- tine is in effect and large forces of men are removing the heavy accumu- lations of snow piled up during the strike. St. Petersburgers are begin- ning to discuss topics other than strikes, riot and revolution. All thé morning dailies except two appeared in their accustomed form. The papers are under orders to refrain from all save the-most cautious comment on recent occurrences and they do not print any details: beyond the offrciai reporls, holding that as they are not permitted to print the truth fully and treely they will print nothing further.

Libau, Russia, Jan. 30.—There werc some demonstrations on the part of the strikers during the night and at- tempts were made to loot bakeries, but the rioters were dispersed by troops, who have been reintorced by a regiment from Kovno. Some tele- graph poles were torn down, but they bave been replaced. The govemor issued a proclamation reminding the workers of the patriot- ism they displayed on the ogcasion of the_recent visit- of Emperor Nicholas and the imperial family to Libau, de- claring that the strike is the result of the activity of evil disposed revolu- tionists, who have nothing in com- mon with the workmen, and urging the latter to return to work and not embal s the country while at war. If they resume their employments the governor will help them. Otherwise he will take energetic measures to re- store order. GRAND DUKE RESPONSIBLE.

New Ulm, Minn, Jan. 30.—Dr. George R. Koch, charged with the murder of Dr. L. A. Gebhardt, has been released on bail, Judge Webber fixing the amount of his bond at $20,- 000, which was furnished and approved by the court. The state objected to the release of the prisoner, but Judge Webber de- cided that in view of the excellence of Koch's fact that he made no attempt to es- cape, while he might easily have done S0, it was entirely proper to admit him to bail.

NOT FOR MAHY YEARS SELF-GOVERNMENT FOR PHILIP- PINES IMPOSSIBLE DURING OUR GENERATION. . OPINION OF SECRETARY OF WAR TAFT APPEARS BEFORE HOUSE COM- MITTEE TO ADVOCATE TAR- IFF REDUCTION. ‘Washington, Jan. 30.— Secretary Taft made an argument before the house committee on ways and means in favor of the Curtis bill reducing the duty on sugar and tobacco from the Philippines. He contended that as the Philippines belong to the United States, thereby imposing a sacred trust on this government, it is our duty to establish and maintain the best pos- sible conditions there. Mr. Williams (Miss.), the minority floor leader, asked the secretary it.it was not the Republican policy to give the Islands ultimate independence. The secretary afiirmed . this, stating that such would be the case when the people of the islands were capable of self;government. “Self-government as the American understands it, or as the Filipino un- derstands it?" asked Mr. Williams. “I doubt if they ever reaeh the self- governing capacity of the Americans,” the secretary replied. “Well,” asserted Mr. Willlams, “there is' not so horrible much differ- ence between you and the Democrats. You believe in granting self-govern- ment when the people are ready and we believe in fixing a date for their independence.” “Certainly,” 'Secretary Taft _said, “the present status of the islands so far as our relations to them are con- cerned will remain the same through- out the plesenl generation and prob- ably longe: ‘With this in view, he maintained, it would be as just to establish a tarift boetween the states of Ohio and Penn- sylvania as between the United States and the Philippines.
