PETERSBURG, Jan. 26.—In spite of the spread of the strike movement the authorities appear to have the situation well in Hand. the worst of the crisis has passed. one slight collision took place in Moscow yesterday. The various revolutionary elements lack capable leadership, and it is believed Disturbances are oceurring in Finland, but they are local in character. Only OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION TREPOFF TRIES - TO BRING CALM OUT OF CHAOS FIRST ACT IS PACIFIC Laborers Told Thewr Appeals Will Be Heard W hen Quuet Is Restored. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 26 (2:15 a. m.)—Governor General Trepoff and Minister of Finance Kokovseff issued a proclamation last night which re- veals the Government's plan for breaking the strike, not only here, but throughout Russia. The proclamation is conceived in a paternal tone and points out that honest workmen, who want to better their condition, should have brought their demands to the Government instead of being misled by agitators into affiliating with a movement which is not confined to eco- nomic aspirations: It invites them to return to work, promising them, in the Emperor's name, a revision of the general law so as to restrict the hours of labor, the institution of.a plan for state insurance and other- wise to meet their demands so far as the law will permit, and guarantee . them protection against interference by agitators, This document will be followed either by an imperial manifesto, along the same lines, in the hope of preventing the spread of the strike, or by specific proclamations by the local authorities, wherever strikes are in progress. By promising to yield the question of the hours of labor, which are now legally eleven in Russia, the authorities belfeve they will meet the rain griveance of the workmen. This, together with the guarantee of protection, the authorities hope, will induce those strikers who are Indifferént to political demands, and which class they declare constitutes a great bulk of the men, to resume work. r Charles Hardinge, the British Minister, received from Captain Grove, the British Consul at Moscow, confirmation of the press dispatch from Moscow announcing he public posting of a London telegram imputing the disorders to British and Japanese influences and he will ask for explana- tions from Foreign Ministér Lamsdorff to-day. It is not expected, however, that the affair will lead to a serious diplomatic incident, and it is believed the Russian Government will disavow responsibility for the course of Act- ing Chief of Police Roudneff. The dispatch to Embassador Hardinge makes no mention of Roudneff's offer to meet Captain Grove in a duel. -TEXT OF TREFOFF’S PROCLAMATION. The full text of the proclamation issued by Governor General Trepoft - and Minister of Finance Kokovzeff, which will be posted in the street to- day, follows: “Workmen should assist the Government in its tranquillizing task in be- half of the betterment of their condition. This thev can accomplish only by holding themselves aloof from fomenters of disturbance, who are alien to the workmen’s trie interest and to the country’s welfare. Let them return to their ordinary labor, which is as needful for the country as for themselves, f6r without it they, their wives and children must suffer distress; and, re- - turning to work, let the people be assured that their needs are as neai™the mperor’s heart as those of all his Majesty's true subjects; that only recént- ly of his own free will the Emperor commanded that the question of work- ingmen’s insurance be taken up, with the object of securing them against disablement or sickness; that this measure does not exhaust his Majesty's anxlety for the well being of the working classes, for at the same time the Emperor sent an order instructing the Ministry of Finance to draft a law shortening the hours of labor and for the elaboration of such measures as will legalize workmen's discussions of their needs.” The proclamation concludes as follows: “Let it be known to all workmen who return to. their labors that they may count upon the protection of the Government and freedom from harm for themselves, their familles, hearths and homes. The Government will pro- tect them from any criminal attack on the freedom of their labor by evil- disposed persons, who, loudly preaching liberty, understand it only as the right to use forcible means to prevent their comrades from returning to their peaceful employment.” The proclamation, which, it is announced, was issued by the Emperor's order, in its preamble recounts the origin of the recent events and declares that evil disposed persons used the workmen as their tools, leading them astray by false and impossible promises. It says: “The result of this criminal agitation has been breaches of the peace, in- volving the inevitable intervention of armed forces. These evil wishers have not been restrained even by the difficulties in which the fatherland is in- volved in a time of trying war, while the workmen, their blind tools, have disregarded the fact that demands were being made in their name which had nothing in common with their needs, besides forgetting that the Govern- ment always has shown itself considerate of their needs and is now ready to listen attentively to their just desires and satisfy them wherever possible. To this end the Government requires, above all, the restoration of order and the return of workmen to work, because in times of disturbance the Gov- ernment’s well-intentioned efforts for satisfaction of the workmen’s demands, however just, is out of the question.” COSSACKS DISPERSE MOSCOW MOB. MOSCOW, Jan. 25.—A squadron of Cossacks this evening dispersed about 3000 workmen who were growing obstreperous across the Moskva. No fatali- tles are reported. This was the only event of the kind during the day. Re- ports that a mob was plundering and wrecking shops in the Trevskaia are untrue. The merchants have sent an appeal to the Emperor to avoid bloodshed. There is complete tranquillity within the boundaries of this city, but the people are keeping indoors, owing to the official warning. The strike is spreading gradually, but thus far is confined to the smaller mills. The larger industrial concerns are being guarded in order to prevent the men employed there being intimidated, but it is the belief that the strike will become general. There are no troops in sight in the city proper. Probably there will be no newspapers to-morrow. The citizens are alarmed at the prospect of an irruption of hundreds of thousands of workmen and demand the proclama- tion of a state of siege. The Moscow garrison numbers no more than 20,000 men, but the authorities consider-this s sufficient for present needs and are determined to avoid bloodshed if possible.

Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—President Roosevelt, instead of attempting to establish an American protectorate over Santo Domingo by his own act, without any reference of the question island republic providing for the new order of things. His sudden reversa is dué to the certainty of a serious | clash with the Senate if he attempted to carry out his original intention to ignore that body, to a ‘discussion in the Committee of . Foreign Relations | this afternoon, and to the probability |of armed conflict with the rebels in Santo Domfngo. in the President’s policy was made to- day. It was explained that there never submit the arrangement with Santo Domingo to the Senate for approval. {It was said that it' was not known, /and would not be known until Com- | mander Dillingham reached Washing- |ton, whether his agreement with President Morales was in the form of a treaty or a protocol. Whatever shape it was in, it was stated, it would be sent to the Senate and nothing fur- ther would be done until the Senate had approved or rejected *he conven- tion. The proposed arrangement by which this country is to become receiver for Santo Domingo and Mr. Roosevelt to assume the role of policeman for Cen- tral and South America was not men- tioned to any of the Republican lead- ers in the Senate. Before the President decided to sub- mit the question to the Senate there was an angry discussion .in the Sen- ate Committee on Foreign Relations. The word “impeachment” was used. Senator Spooner, one of the strong- est supporters of the administration, pointed out to the Democrats how the President could be impeached. In the course of a long speech before the committee on the Bacon resolution, calling upon the President for a state- ment as to whether the press dis- patches and the announcement by As- sistant Secretary Loomis regarding the virtual ‘establishment of suzerainty over Santo Domingo contained the true facts, Spooner made his sensa- ticnal utterances. He said that if the President answered that the publica- tions were accurate, 3howing that he had violated the constitution in per- fecting a treaty without the advice or consent of the Senate, it could be used as a basls for impeachment proceed- ings. ‘;hh was construed as meaning that to Congress, has decided to send to the | Senate the treaty or protocol with the | Official announcement of the change | had been any other intention than to | ZANIDOWNE DECLINES THE ROLE OF CLOWY Lillian Russell Re- fuses to Sing for i Speclal Disnatch to The Call.

B | The Foreign Relations Committee devoted an hour and a half to a dis- | cussion of ‘the Bacon resolution of i quiry, which was referred to it yes- terday by vote of the Senate. There was no disposition ‘among any of the members of the Foreign Relations Ccmmittee to shield the President if he had violated the constitution. Neither was evidence given in’'com- mittee of any disposition on the part of the Democrats to take up the sug- ! gestion thrown out by Senator Spooner that the information from the Presi- dent, if he responded to the Bacon resolution, might form the basis for impeachment proceedings. It is not believed the Democrats care to press | the matter, now that the Republicans | are aroused and will take action look- | ing to the prevention of further en- | croachment by the President upon the Senate’s prerogatives. | | i | | okl oo f 0 G Lady Curzon Fully Recovered.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—Willlam Jen- nings: Bryan in a:three-hour conference this afternoon with Alten B. Parker made several things plain to the recent- ly defeated candidate for the Presi- dency. First, that he believes he (Bryan) and his friends are now the domfnating fac- tion of the Democratic party. Second, that within a few years there will be great internal changes in both party organizations, and men who now call themselves Democrats will come out openly as Republicans, while pro- fessed Republicans will ‘declare them- sélves Democrats. ' Third," that the new strength for the Democratic party will come from the ‘West, while the new Republicans will appear in the Eastern States. Fourth, that for the reason that the ‘West ‘and South will remain steadfast they must have a dominating voice in the party councils. Fifth, that the trust question will overshadow everything else in the next campaign; that President Roosevelt's acts in following out the provisions: of Democratic platforms and resolutions ‘will be an aid to the party, it being the bellef that the. President will be- Al-| lowed to go just so far and then ob- stacles will' arise in Congress, and that the present course 'of the President should cause every Democrat to con- gratulate himself. Bryan told Parker that one cause of | the recent disastrous defeat was that | the party had so temporized that it had resulted in being neither Democratic nor Republican. Parker was told, too, that local Democrats would réalize the strength of Bryan's position and turn in to help in future campaigns. There ‘wag no discussion of the financial ques. tl:;, Bryan acknowledging that other issues were of more importance. : — & Ohio’s Blind. Mayor Passes Away. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Jan. 25— ‘Walter L.
