When tidings at last leaked out from ‘committee rooms orators. who had " been Naranguing soldiérs and work- jngmen from the. balcany of the “palsce, suddenly interrupted their dis- jirses and shoutéd the news to the pwds ~ below.” Indescribable n- nn _seized the vast throng, yoar of cheers such as never be- ad been heard in those stately jiafis continued until the men arfd somén were forced to cease from ut- flhl\iltlon. i 2 ,m of Government in Doubt. = | § Just what form the new govern- nt will assume is indefinite tonight. or the moment entire authority rests h the twelve members of the Duma éutive committes and the cabinet ded: by Prince Lvoff, who accord- .to some forecasts, will be pres- jsiit of & new republic. It is be- ed that in thé interim and -until cenvocation of a constitutional mbly power will slowly pass into o hands of the new cabinet. EIr anything further was needed to i nent the friendly relations. existing veen all elements of the revolu- it was provided by events of to- Ay. ‘The differences whic! threat- yesterday to create serious. t between the Duma committee @ the committee of working men, feldiers and deputies, have automat- joglly disappeared since, with the ab- @lation of Grand Duke Michael as nt, the' question whether Russia #uld remain an empire or compel ntiquated government to yield Tew republic is \ now solved. ninating improbable events which d throw the country back into the of the old regime Russia has iy become a republic and the pre- jons of a responsible ministry, 'h a week ago were ridiculed as khature and impossible, has today exceeded by a new liberty which er found a place in the most fer- jt dream of its ‘discontented people. “Dark Forces” at Work. early as two months ago rumors pame current that the emperor uld be forced to surrender his Until that time the chief dis- lon at the aconomic disorgan- of ‘the country and the crim- _mismanagement of affairs was ed against the cabinet and the in- e of the court was only vaguely ided to, without touching the Sn of the emperor. But it be- ie definitely known that all irre- jble and evil influences, - sym- d by such figures as Sturmer, ptopopoft and Rasputin, had a deep- jand more powerful source than the nment itself. The prevalence of ‘Tumors of court scandals and FRISBIY’S mal Fertilizers Y lnnkage FOR mumm Farms Dispatch in the handling of your banking business is an important item. At the Commercial Prust Com- pany you will mnotice that promptness and accuracy are leading features. intrigues and the existence of the my¥s-- terious channels ‘which seemed to run from court wircles into the camp of the enemy,. contributed to bring the} imperial family firito complete dis- favor. Whether these were true or not, however, the weakness of the ruling family in allowing persons to direct the affairs of thé country who were secretly designing against the best interests of the nation and ap- parently doing all possibleé to inter- fere with the proper corduct of ¢h: war, unfitted them to- gévern thé coun(ry. There was littla restraint In the manner in which this opinion was-ex- pressed. Accusation were made against the empress In almést every gathering where people privately as- sembled to discuss the political situa- tion. From the tribune of the Dfima thé same,thing was hinted in veiled form. Professor Miukoff, in his address at the opening of . the. Duma last November, read an account from a German paper. which spoke of a group of persons who were gath- ered 'around the empress. He used this article as a basis for an attack upon the “dark forces” which. re- flected the pro-Gel;mnn Influence at the court. 1t was thé gensral conclusion when ths revolution began that it had been provoked by the goveriment, working through the medium of the police, and; that the government had decided upon this daring expedieat as the means of completing its previous efforts to tie up the industrial activity of the country and bring the war operations to a complete standstill. But the force ‘which was set in' motion and which first appeared easy to control, draw- ing to itself. all the discords of the country which were awalfing an op- | portunity to revolt, soon became so tremendous that it was 'impossible to hold it. So swiftly, unexpectedly and and completely did the great change come that the people are almcst dazed and seem scarcely able to understand ‘what has occurred. Inured through centuries' to the grinding oppression of autocratic rule and regarding freedom as a glorious dream which would forever remain a dream, the people #seemed disposed to regard their liberation as at most merely a temporary. respite . which must soon give way to the ancient law of imperial will. Al Depends on Army. The reception of the new manifesto atprmy headquarters is awaited, with the greatest anxiety, for ‘it is known that unless it is favorably met by the 6,000,000 men at the front the new regime cannot endure. There is no reason to suppose that the soldiers on the fighting line will show a dif- ferent attitude from the soldiers and civilians in Petrograd and the other cities, except in as far as their re- moteness from the scene of the revo- lution and partial ignorance of the conditions which brought it about may affect them. But since wupon their acceptance hinges the fate of the republic their answer is being breathlessly anticipated. With them rests the decision as to whether Rus- sia shall build up a new.government on a prepared foundation or be plunged into further disorder. DRATHS AND - FUNERALS. Helen Margaret Owen.

The whereabouts of Gompers was unknown to ‘his colleagues this marning. Presidents in Seshion. Ten railroad presidents ~were in session at the Grand Central terminal while the conferences were going on and kept in constant touch with the managers. Among them were Pres- idents Rea of the Pennsylvania, Berl of the Jersey Central, Truesdale of the Lackawanna, Hustle of the Bos- ton and -Maine, Underwood of the Erie and Smith of the New York Cens tral. Eight of, them composed the execu- tive’s. committee which last year compromised in the conference With President Wilson: It was ‘| road that they will finally pass upon any proposition to prevent a strike. The railroad presidents sdjournsdl their meeting at 12:30 o'clock. No statement was made, but it is report- ed that their peosition was that they could not yield to the brotherhood’ demands while the United States su- rreme court decision was still pend- irg. The mediation committee was still in conference with the brotherhoed chiefs at 1:16 o'clock. At that hour Dantel Willard, one of the mediators, asked for reservation in the hotel ‘where the are teking rlace, of & roo: to accommodate thirty people. is was taken to mean that a jeint conference between the four mediaters, the four chiefs, the railroad managers’ committee and the railroad ewecutives was contem- wlated. The mb-.l conference committes of rallroad managers was summoned ar 1:20 p. m. by the mediation com- { mittee, though at that time the medi- stion committee’s conference with the § brotherhood chiefs had not ed-| Jjourned. At 1:25 o’clock W. 8. Carter of the | firemen’s organization emerged from the conference and hurriedly left the hotel. He refused to make any com- mens.

Secretary Lane announced at 3 o'clock that the situation was not yet such that he could make a statement. TROLLEY EXTENSION IS ASSURED HERE People in Southeast Section Need Not Worry The- charter rights asked by~ the Connecticut company which will pro- vide for the extension of the East Main street trolley line to the rail- road crossing on Smaliey strest, and aleo for the extension of the Pleassht street line through Fairview and Kel- sey streets to Rocky Hill avenue has been Tepo! favorably by the rail- eom’:l’t:n and will bs paswed Ly the Tegislatare next week, accord- ing to Senator George W. Kiett. Due to a misunderstanding as to legislative procedure many people in the districts which are to be benefitted by these trolley extensions hawve been of the opinion that the extensions had been refused because the rail- rosd committee eariier in the week reported unfavorably on & petition for the same. According to the rules of the Connecticut general assembly every petition, resolution or bill re- ferred to a committee must be re- ported back to the assembly either favorably or unfavorably. No items can be killed in the committee rooms. ‘Thus {t often occurs that several bills, petitions or resolutions are received which have to deal with the same Tusiness. It was this way with t! relition reported unfavorably, - the trolley extensions were taken care of in a charter bill presented by the railroad. Inasmuch as but one favorable report is necessary this duplicate petition was reported un- favorably in order to dispose of it. The favorable report to charter the Stanley Railway company will be presented to the legislature for action late next week and will be passed the following week by both houses. Al- though Senator Klett and Represen- tatives Hill and Covert were not much in evidence at these railroad hear- ings, they did considerable quiet mis- slonary work with the railroad com- mittee members and to their efforts in behalf of New Britaln is due in a large measure these favorable reports. Representative Covert, who is a member of the roads. rivers and bridges committee, visited State High- way Commissioner Bennett early in the week relative to the bad condi- tion of the highway between this city and Hartford. As a result yes- terday the state department had three scrapers at work near Clayton filling in the ruts and leveling the road. LOVEJOY TO SPEAK. Owen R.
