MOBS IN FINLAN STORM THE HOMES OF SENATORS REGARDED AS TRAITORS TO PEOPLE HELSINGFORS CROWD [S NOT MO LESTED BY ~ COSSACK GARRISON ‘ORATORS ' INCITE REVOLUTION Steps Taken to Calm Work- - ingmen in Manufacturing - Cities of Russia. . HELSINGFORS, Finland, Jan. 25.— The demonstration which was begun here last. night continued from 7 o'clack till midnight to-night, about 10,000 persons, principally workmen, participating. There is no strike here | and_the demonstrations are essentlally pclitical in character. Proclamations have. been distributed _declaring that “Finland’s people, especially proletar- fans, join with their junior Russian brethren in their gigantic struggle.” There were numerous revolutionary speeches and the houses of two Sena- ters who had failed to stand firm against the .were mobbed, as was also the office of the newpaper, Usi Soumetar, the win- .dows of which were smashed. Im ‘ont of the Diet House crowds cheered the revival of the Finnish consti- jon, which has been petitiohed for ¥ the Diet. The windows of several restaurants were smashed. Cossacks re called out, but did not charge, nor did the police interfere with the Trocession. In- quelling one body of rioters to- night, however, the police on one oc- ..easion used their revolvers and three msit were wounded, two youths’ scalps were cut and a third was struck ig_the stomach with a bullet. - "KOVNO, Russia, Jan. 25.—The Gov- .erhor has issued a proclamation an- reuncing that the general strike at Kovno has been brought about by the threats of a small group of workmen, ‘whose hopes for changes in the fac- » regulations and an increase of .wiges cannot, the Governor says, be * attained by such means. He urges the strikers not to listen to the promptings of the evil-disposed, but to resume work, promising to examine the men’s demands, and, so far as possible, grant them. At the same time the Governor warns the strikers that in the event of disturbances in the streets he will take vigorous measures, using armed force if necessary. REVAL, Russia, Jan. 25.—A crowd of strikers to-day marched in proces- slon to the Governor's r ce. The policy of Russification | Governor addressed them in a. few words and allayed their excitement. The strikers then chose a deputation to present their gemands to their em- ployers, who were gathered in the Governor’s rooms. The demands in- ciude an eight-hour day and an in- | crease of wages. It is reported that the results of the interview were satis- tactory. | ' RIGA, Jan. 25.—A general strike 1s in progress here in y mpathy with the St. Petersburg worrtien. The troops ip the district have been mobilized and the streets are being patrolled. SARATOFF, Russia, Jan. 25.—The men in the railroad shops and other establishments here have gone out on strike. | ST Panic in a Kishenev Theater. KISHENEV, Jan. 25.—A seditious demonstration during the perform- dnce led to a panic in a theater here last night. A crisis in the hostility toward the Government was raised in the crowded auditorium by incendiary proclamations - which were showered from the gallery. The audience be- came panic-stricken and considerable time elapsed before order was re- stored. Twenty arrests were made, including four Jewish soldiers. e Denounces Czar as Assassin.

Roudneff produced the original telegram as evidence of good faith. Cap- tain Grove sald that he would report the matter to the embassy in St. ‘Petersburg, as he considered that the posting of the alleged telegram imperiled the lives of subjects of Great Britain who were employed in fac- torfes here. Roudneff assured him that there was absolutely no cause for apprehension, but assumed the responsibility for the publication. . Roudneff also offered Captain Grove personal satisfaction in & resort to arms. General Trepoff’s appointment to the governor generalship of St. Peters- burg was a complete surprise here. It is rumored that Minister of the Inte- ior Sviatopolk-Mirsky may be appvinted Governor General of Moscow. _Owing to the disturbed conditions the celebration to-day of the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the university here, the first to be estab- lished In Russia, chapel. * was confined to a religious service in the university Grand Duke Sergius, the former Governor General, is sald to have taken refuge in the palace of the Kremlin. Among the rumors current is one to the effect that the strikers intend marching to the Neskoutchny pal- aee, outside of Moscow, where Grand Duke Sergius formerly resided. POWERFUL AID FOR STRIKERS Center Party in Prussian Diet Is Supporting the ‘Canse of the Workingmen BERLIN, Jan. 25.—The Center party in a -resolution presented in the Prus- sian Diet to-day asked the Government 10 appoint seven members of the Diet to investigate the coal strike. This was done in the interest of the strikers, who hope to force the owners of the mines into a still more difficult position, as they have refused an invitation of the Commissioners appointed by the Min- istry of the Interior to discuss the situ- ation with the delegates of the work- ingmen. The commission asked for by the Center party would have powers that the Interior Department Commis- sion does not have for summoning per- sons and calling for papers, Germany sees a singular sight in the powerful Center party co-operating with the Socialists- in supporting a strike. The higher Catholic clergy are subscribing personally to the strike funds and are announcing subscrip- tions. ESSEN, Prussia, Jan. 25.—The sub- scriptions for the strikers, both in and outside this district, aggregate about $300,000. The effect of the prohibition of the local authorities at various places to carry around subscription papers has been to increase the voluntary con- tributions. ———— EMBERS OF REVOLUTION GLOWING IN HONDURAS MOBILE, Ala., Jan. 25.—Advices re- ‘ceived here by the steamship Espana to-day are to the effect that a revolu- tion is brewing in Puerto Cortez and other parts of Spanish Honduras.

The fire started at 1:30 o’clock this morning. _ The fire engines were three-quarters of an hour in getting to the fire, on ac- count of the snow. Two women have been taken away in ambulances. It is believed no lves were lost. ——— ARSENIO MAY HAVE CAUSED DEATH OF HOOK’'S WIVES Cellar of His House to Be Dug Uj in Effort to Find Other ® v N\ CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—Medical authori- ties have been called to aid the police in determining whether poison could have produced nephritls, to which five wives of “Bluebeard” Johanm Hoch auxcumrgfd tha ccording to certificates signed the attending physicians, uln:)f t‘;{ women, whom Hoch is alleged to have murdered, died of .this complaint ex- cept Mrs. Mary Steinbecker.

It HUNDREDS ~ ARE NADE Governor ~ General Trepoft Begins His Reign in St. Petershurg by’ Hunting Down Leading Agitators STRIKERS ARE WELL SUPPLIED WITH GOLD Two Million Dollar Fund From Some = Mysterious Source Is Placed at . the Disposal of the Workmen Tl ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 25. — Gov- ernor General Trepoff was in supreme command of the city to-day. Although a state of siege has not been actually proclaimed, it practically exists, the Emperor having conferred upon him, as Governor General, almost absolute power, authorizing him to use the mil- itary, gendarmerie and any other agency of the Government to preserve order, placing under his control the Government works and schools and even empowering him to exile persons who are infmical to peace. During last night hundreds of arrests were made. The only decision of the Government thus far is to preserve order at all costs. - ‘““The Government is living over a vol- cano, and can do nothing else,” said a high official this' morning. “Every other consideration must give way to the question of public order.” Private advices from all the big cit- ies and towns of Russia indicate that Finland, last night were disquieting, but there is no evidence yet of a gen- eral movement. The appointment of Senator Linder as Secretary of State for Finland just at this time is con- sidered to be an unfortunate blunder and is likely to prove exceedingly dis- tasteful to the Finns. Althougha Finn himself, Senatér Linder is unpopular, owing to his support of the policy of the Russification of the towns of the Baltic provinces. STRIKERS HAVE LARGE FUND. Evidence accumulates that the strik- ers are supplied with money to meet their present needs. All sorts of stories are afloat as to the size and origin of fund. Money is undoubtedly being is sald that they have a fund of $2,000,000, some of which was advanced by Ger- man Socialists. It is seriously belleved in some quarters that money is be- ing furnished from Japanese-British sources to bring ‘on a revolution, or such internal complications as will compel the Government to make peace with Japan. Reports late this afternoon were that the strike was extending at Narva, Earatoff and Kharkoff. Some foreign correspondents, who have been indulging in the wildest ex- aggeration of the situation, are now, in anticipation of arrest, trying to ar- range for the embassies of their re- spective countries to make proper rep- resentations in their behalf. The strikers seem still to be without definite plans for the future. It is sald that a demonstration has been decided upon for to-morrow, on the occasion of the funerals of several of® the more prominent. victims, but this is denled. For the moment the strikers appear to be content to remain quiet. All of the outgoing trains are filled with people going abroad, mostly for- eigners. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Smith and their family have left St. Petersburg for Berlin. EDITORS PRESENT PETITION. A deputation from the St. Petersburg press waited upon Interior, Minister Sviatopolk-Mirsky during thd day and presented a petition formulated at a conference of editors. Souvorin (senior editor of the Novo Vremya) said that the only means of restoring public con- fidence was to grant freedom t6é® the press and to summon a Congress of Zemstvos. He /declared that if the press had been free none of the recent deplorable events would have occurred. The Minister replied that this peti- tion would be considered, but that he must confer with Governor General ‘Trepoff. The funerals of many victims of Sun- day's tragedy were held this morning. Pitiful sights were witnessed. In sev- eral cases a man and wife carried be- tween them a wooden box containing a child killed. Some of the coffins were borne on common carters’ sleighs, the mourners following on foot. according to the Russian custom. It was notice- able that in many cases the usual priest and ikon ahead of the procession were absent. No demonstration oc- curred, but workmen and others stood uncovered in the streets as the little groups passed with the dead. In the Volkoff Cemetery, beyond the Narva’ gates, 167 bodies were lowered to their last resting place. % A mnotice was posted to-day at all the works, giving the strikers twenty-four hours to resume their employment and intimating that those who did not com- ply would be deported to villages. It is expected that a message from Emperor Ifii:holn will to-morrow be delivered to the workmen, through the Minister of Finance. Maxim Gorky, the author and reform party leader, has been arrested at Riga, whither he had been summoned by the {llness of his’ wife. e 55 BALTIO FLEET LOCATED. ‘Warships Are at Anchor in a Mada- gascar Harbor.

It belleves that, while the pre- sent risings will be put down, the af- fair of Bunday at St. Petersburg is cer- tain to bring about a change in the form of government. The Foreign Of- fice would welcome a Russian govern- ment with which it could enter a treaty agreement similar to the Anglo-French agreement, feeling that a contract with the present regime would be repudiated at will. But fears are entertained of a revolution which might result in in- ternational complications. The remarks of War Secretary Ar- nold-Forster at Croydon last night, ‘when he expressed the sympathy of the people of the United Kingdom with the people of Russia, are exciting consider- able comment, coming from a Cabinet Minister. He seemed to voice the gen- eral suspiclon that the British Govern- ment has of Russian bureaucracy. Ar- nold-Forster also made the astound- ing statement that it would be a bold man who would say whether this move- ment would be likely to help or hurt the British nation, but “We must be on our guard.” The British press as a whole takes a no less gloomy view. The papers have been given up exclusively since Sunday to alarmist reports from Russia, hos- tile articles and scathing editorials on ‘“the massacre,” one of the mildest terms used for the affair of Sunday, and the Russlan Emperor and his Gov- ernment are generally compared to “beasts at bay.” THOUSANDS SLAIN WITH PEN. The whole discussion of the situation in Russia serves again to reveal the poorly disguised hostility of the British press to everything Russian. The spe- clal dispatches to the London papers all report the conditions prevailing In Russia to be worse than the Assoclated Press accounts. The Russian official figures of the killed and wounded are stigmatized as ‘“ludicrously officlal.” The numper of slain reported here in Monday's. papers ranged from 2000 to §000,, One prominent paper announced that the dead alone numbered 2000 and | another said 8000. The Assoclated Press figures, 600, given on Monday, are now considered at the embassies here as the maximum. Exaggerations are noticed il most of the reports. A notable instance is a long account of an alleged mutiny of sailors of the Black Sea fleet, and a de- talled account of an incendlary fire at the Sevastopol works, which later was contradicted by the 'Associated Press correspondent. Many articles are appearing in the papers and reviews by prominent au- thorities on Russia, arguing the cer- tain success of the revolution, but they seem inspired more by the hope of the writers than by facts. Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky, a cousin of the Russian Minister of the Interior and second secretary of the embassy here, said to-day: “It is certain that last Sunday's events in St. Petersburg are grossly exaggerated in all the European press. I am sure normal tranquillity will soon be restored.” The Prince expressed no surprise that the Emperor had declined to re- ceive a deputation of 100,000 workmen, who pleaded, among other demands, for the separation of the church from the state. NO PRESS CENSORSHIP. LONDON, Jan. 26.—Some of the Lon- don morning papers complain that the Russian censorship of news dispatches has been relmposed. These complaints are quite unjustified. The Assoclated Press and other di atches are coming freely from St. Petersburg, Moscow and other Russian cities, but are suf- fering serious delay in transmission, probably owing to the pressure on the wires, all the European journals th-‘ past week having been daily increas- ing the length of their Russian dis- patches. It should be mentioned, however, cs a curious fact, that the alleged censor- ship appears chiefly to have affected those journals which have indulged in the dissemination of wild and extrava- gant reports. That no real censorship | is exercised is evident from Associated Press and other dispatches which con- tinue to comment with perfect free- | dom on the political situation. { The Daily Telegraph’s correspondent | at St. Petersburg declares that in the whole empire there is but one official so utterly loathed as Trepoff and that is General Kliegeb of Kieff, who may yet | be Minister of the Interior. He con- | tinues: | “Russia is cloven in twain and no human force can weld the parts to- gether. On one side stands the auto- crat, whose behests are still mechani- cally fulfilled by his Majesty’s army, which, however, {s a sectlon of the people. On the other hand stands the | emplire nation, united in the determina- | tion to deliver tself from a yoke which | has now become unbearable. The army 18 acting in virtue of use and wont and , in time will come over to its own kith and kin.” This is taken as evidence that the | censorship is not so very strict. —_— FREE FREE ‘WITH \ SUNDAY CALL SMALL ADS.

PETERSBURG, Jan. 25.—The council of the Polytechnic Institute | to-day adoptethe following: One of the members of the family of the Polytechnio Institute of St. Petersburg, the Student Savinkin, died a violent death, being shot on January 22 in the Alexander Gardens. Bavinkin was ohe of the victims of the butch— ery against a peaceful, unarmed crowd. The council of the institute, being revolted and depressed by .the acte of January 22, which | prove that in Russia the very lives of peace- | able citizens are unsafe, expresses profound | indignation on account of the general firing, one of the victims of which was the student Savinkin. The council finds that peace under | the present conditions existing is absolutely | impossible, and resolves, firet, to inform the Minister 6f Finance of the opinions of the council regarding- the events of January 2 second, to suspend lectures In the institut and third, to defray. the cost of the funeral of Savinkin. The students of the institute sent a | declaratton to the director, declaring | their agreement with the resolution. | Fourteen members of the Zemstvo | of Simbiek (on the Volga, 105 miles | south-southwest of ' Kazan) have adopted the following resolutions: authorijles see specters thre: the foundations of state. F Rave sald “All s well.”" customed to this course that to say otherwise would have been a political crime. This atti- | tude on the part of the people debased to | slavery has led Russia to a crisis through which she cannot safely be brought by pal- | liatives or half measures. Russia is on the | road to complete ruin, and the fatherland is | threatened with terrible danger, not alone by | the forelgn ememy with whom she is now | struggling, but by an internal foo against | whom the bureaucracy has been so long fight- | ing with disastrous results. i e danger lies in the prostration of the general development of the country, brought about by the bureaucracy. The development of Russia has been artificlally arrested, and | all ‘other institutions stricken unto death and cannot be brought back to lite. The very de- pressed condition of the country also consti- | tutes a danger from which there is no escape. | The Zemstvo repcesentatives had no oppor- nity of freely and honestly speaking their minds on the subjects of abuees, but the bureaucrats took measures to prevent them. The president of the Zemstvo proposed an amendment to this resolution, but our duty o the fatherland and the throne obliged us to refuse to vote the address in the form he suggested. It is & crime to shut our eyes to the condition of the country, Freely elected representatives alone can ' liberate Russia. These representatives would point to Russla and the Emperor a new path to peace and glory. SRPRROPOL, Jan. 25.—The Zems- tvo at Taurida, at its first meeting of the year to-day, unanimously adopted the following petition to Emperor Nicholas: \ Sire: The Taurida your Majesty, as well as the Empress, on the birth.of an heir to the throne.

A state of terror= ism is sure to prevail throughout the country. Premier Tiszh is determined to make an end of Parllamentary obstruction, and the opposition parties are equally resolved to defeat the Premier’s pur- pose. The question of revising the rules of Parliamentary procedure is the only one put before the electorate. The cam- paign already has cost seven lives, the latest victim being Prince Ferdinand private huntsman, Michael Krapusnak, who was shot dur- ing a fight between rival parties at Jolsva. Preparatory to to-morrow’s volling special trainloads of_troops have been sent to Hungary from all parts of Aus- tria. Infantry and artillery have been sent from Vienna and cavalry from Lemberg. Altogether 10,000 extra sol- diers have been distributed in the v: rious electoral districts. iz, Sympathize With Russians. | LONDON, Jan. 25.—The Borough Council of .Battersea, London, to- night formally adopted a resolution expressing indignation and abhorrence at the events of January 22 in St. Petersburg and expressing profound sympathy with the workmen of Ru.-‘ sin in their efforts to obtain social and | political freedom, urging them to maintain the movement until their de- | mands are granted.

The skat- ing, sleighing and various other outdoor sports of winter, combined with its pure, bracing atmosphere, all tend toward pro- ducing a healthy condition of the body. Yet, in spite of these pleasures, winter brings its ills. Most of them are in the nature of climatic diseases. People are sometimes not as careful as they should be. They expose themsclves unduly. They are caught in cold, sleety rain. They enter the house with damp shoes and clothing and do not take the time or trouble to change to dry clothing. They sit about the house and breathe the vitlated air of stuffy, unventilated rooms. . They do not take enough outdoor exer- cise and neglect hygienic precautions. The amusements of the long evenings create a tendency to keep late hours ana eat heavy meals before retiring. All of these indiscretions create ca- tarrhal diseases. Coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup, pneu- monia and la grippe predominate, though indigestion and stomach catarrh are al- most as prevalent as in summer. The only remedy ever duiu, by tie jon to successfully coun- catarrh, is Peruna. It cures catarrh in every stage. It 1s not a palliative, manent cure. It strikes at once at the root of the ca- tarrh by removing the cause of catarrh. It soothes and heals all of the various mucous membranes of the body, whether of the head, throat, lungs or stomach.

He had been working for the Marys River Land and Cattle Com- pany as a cowboy for several months, but a few weeks ago he became sick and spent all his money for medical treatment. He regained his health once more, but was unable to obtain employment, and while suffering from a fit of despondency caused by his misfortune shot himself. He is re- ported to have come from a well-to-do family in San Francisco.

A bulletin issued by Military BSurgeons ‘Widemann aftd Weimuth gave his tem- perature as 103 degrees F. The Prince has been skating a good deal during the recent severe weather on the lakes near Potsdam and he danced at the great charity ball given Saturday evening for the benefit of the families of German soldiers who have fallen in Southwest Africa. The Prince was with the imperial party at the pal- ace on Sunday when the Emperor and Empress received the newly decorated persons. He was taken ill on Monday. Emperor Willla- has canceled all the birthday celebrations which were to have been held at- the royal castle here on Friday. Prince Eitel’s {llness came suddenly. He went to bed on Monday with a ccld, but the matter was not reported te the Emperor. The first symptoms of pneumonia appeared this afternoon and the physicians immediately: in- formed the Emperor, who was at Zoudnm making a military inspec- on. Emperor Willlam had just decided to advance Prince Eitel to the rank of captain of the First Regiment of the Guards, which the Crown Prince has hitherto commanded, the latter being advanced to major. —_——————— BRITAIN HAS COAL ENOUGH FOR 450 YEARS TO COME Report Made on the Resources of the Fields of the United Kingdom.
