This lmtlon does not apply to the provinces, but there is little doubt that the work- jmgn there will follow St. Petersburg's | 'esxanaple. More than half of the factories here resumed work during the morning and While the employes of some of the establishments at Moscow are still out none of the predictions of the ex- treme parties who organized the strike imovement were fulfilled. Many of the Itrades unt8as totally refused to join in 18, the railroad men, whose co-opera- tlon was vital, could not be induced to glve the signal for a strike owing to fear that a majority of the men would t ebey and there was no sign of a serious peasant movement. i 'While the repressions and arrests of the leaders undoubtedly wete a great ‘factor in bringing about the present lsituation 1t is apparent that the mo- |ment was i1l chosen for a strike.

The leaders of the non-revolution- ary parties do not conceal their satis- faction over the dofeat of their old allies of the extreme left, as they :feared that a great strike, with wide- spread disorders entailing repressions, .might be used as justification by the government to postpone the elections ' and the assembling of a new parlia- | ment.

MREGULARITIES OF LONG STANDIRG SHORTAGE OF §$150,000 8AID TO HAVE EXISTED PRIOR TO < THE YEAR 1901, I Chicago, Aug. 8 —President Paul O. Stensland of-the Milwaukee Avenus State bank will probably be arrested as soon as he enters Chicago or can be found. Bank Examiner Jones, who cloged the institution, says that Mr. Stensland surely had guilty knowledge of the looting of the bank. The 22,000 depositors in the bank are gradually losing hope of recovefing the $4,800, 000 they entrusted to Stensland’s care. Detectives are now seeking Cashier [Henry W. Hering, alleged embezzler. “Detective Cannon, who has the war- rant for Hering’s arrest charging em- beazlement, has finformation to the effect that the missing cashier was in Detroit. His destination is probably Canada. There was a crowd of several hun- dred working people around the bank during the morning. Notwithstanding that the doors were closed and there ‘Was. no prospect of recovering funds at present the people persistently re- mained. Thelr evident misery was accentuated by a drizzling rain. The shortage is estimated to be between $750,000 and $1,000,000. Dis- astrous speculation in real estate and in the security market is said to be responsible. Members of the clear- inghouse committee were told that most of this amount was wholly un- protected by adequate collateral. Purely a Family Affair. The institution was known as a “family bank.” The Stensland family, for years well known residents of the Northweat Side, owned much of the stock and members of the family oper- ated the bank. It was learned during the day that the peculations of the bank’s funds began before the year 1301. At the beginning of that year a shortage of $150,000 is now said to have existed. It was also learned that Theodore - Stensland now holds a power of attor- ney from his father. The son is sald to have heen further authorized by Stensland, Sr., to dispose of all prop- erty, including real estate, belonging to_him (the father) in order to make good as far as possible the peculations. Members of the clearinghouse commit- ted” expressed their belief that both Cashier Herlng and President Stens- land are now in Canada. = Judge Brentano of the superior oourt has appointed John C.
