Dmitri Shipoff is a man of sound, con- who, ilke the late Prince betskoy, dared to make a stand inst the sweeping current which car- slan | ried away most of the Zemstvolsts. 'The | selection of M. Nemechaleff is appazently | Bood. He 1s a practical man of #fairs, who has had long experience in railroad | administration and as shown by the rec- | ommendation of the railroad delegation has the sympathy of ‘he workmen. The former Ministers, except four, who | are not subject to the jurisdiction of the | Premier, are slated for dismissal. Count de Witte is not submitting much of his new programme to the old com- mittee of Ministers. The new measure grants representation to the workmen on the same basls as peasants, one representative for each 250,000, and extends the suffrage to the great class of “intellectuals” possessing college degrees, who have been the heart and soul of the reform movement. Vot- | ers will also under the new regulations include tenents paying an annual rent of g s GOLDEN STATE LIMITED Will Resume Dally Service Nov. 29th.

He went to Pe- terhof at the latter’s suggestion during Count Alexis Ignatieff, a member iof the council of the Emperor, and Mr. Goremykin, former Minister of the In- terior, were struggling to prevent any Iding to the popular demands. The nd Duke never ceased to exercise his | influence in favor of Count de Witte. When the Count on the Sunday preced- ing the issuance of the manifesto left Peterhof in disgust, the Grand Duke in- | duced the Emperoz 'to reconsider his de- cision and to dispatch General' Baron W. Fredericks, Minister of the Imperial se, in an automobile to St. Petersburg o'clock in the morning to again sum- mon Count de Witte, who on the memor- | able Monday returned to Peterhof and | secured the Emperor's signature to the historic decument. Some of Count de Witte's enemies are { now spreading a report that he was bribed by the Jews, The Russ, which is conducting a cam- paign for the downfall of General Trepoff, declaves that unless the general be im- mediately“removed the country will sue- | cumb to military dictatorship. WILL CHANGE CALENDAR. The new tera in Russia will be rarked by a change in the Julinn Gregorian cal- endsr. The use of the old calendar, | which is thirteen days behind that of the other civilized countries, has been the cause of indefinite confusion. The Acad- emy of Sciences has already submitted a plan to shorten the Russian February by thirteen days and to begin March 1 in the new style. Now that the crisis in Finland is vir- tually over, it appears that the revolu- tlonary Socialists had ccmplete control | of the situation. ‘The nfilitary in pos- | session of Helsinglors and other towns kept a firm grip on all means of com- | munication. The whole country was in a ferment of | excitement, ana was fed upon reports that the Russian people had set up a republic and that thousands of men and even womerl, were making their way from the interior toward the cities with arms to join in a war fer freedom. Prince John Obolensky probably will be succeeded as Governor General by Generai Kualbars, Governor General! of Odessa, who in an interview to-day ex- pressed the warmest rejoicing at the restoration of Finnich rights. Finland, he sald, always was loyal until it was i driven into the position of an enemy by Siplaguine, Plehve, Bobrikeff and other naters of progress, but now the General predicts that Finland will return to its grand faith in and allegiance to the em- pire. RIOTS NOW._SUBSIDING. The news from the provinces indi- cates the dying down of the reign of riot and license following the promul- gation of the imperial manifesto. Nor- mal conditions are gradually resuming. The most interesting developments are in Poland, where a Polish national j movement has blossomed forth under | favorable conditions. The greatest manifestation has occurred in Warsaw, where the town is decorated with Pol- ish flags, whose display_heretofore has been treated as a crime. A giant demonstration, including 250,000 per- sons, was organized, paraded the | streets and listened to speeches de- ;and a half b | situation. 8 ‘Liberal side. The Liberals ]nnrod by Henry Slenkiewicz, the au-|once to overcome their “distrust. other prominent thor, and Poles. In the evening the Polish capitol was illuminated. The demonstration passed off without interference or disorder, though in the Jewish quarter, where anti-Jewish at- tacks were feared, Seven Dersons sus- pected of being provocatory agents -of | the police were killed by the enraged populace after the nationalist parade. L e ey D BY WOMAN. of the in Re 7—William T. Stead, 12, stopped over in Berlin 1y to Paris. For an hou poured forth his vivid im- pressions of “hell pretty well let loose,” as he called it, of the things he bad seen and heard dnd of the “ghastly welter into which Russian society had drifted.” “Strange things are happening,” sald Stead. *Think of the incidents at Reval. Some determined persons marched down the street to the town hall, followed by a crowd. There the Mayor and councii- men were sitting, deliberating on the In came our determined MOB Takes Role “Red Virgin" BERLIN, fresh from Rus to-day on his friends. “ ‘We demand, they sald, ‘we demand liberty, universal sul’rnge and the right to ruie ourselves.’ “‘But,’ sald the Mayor, ‘T cannot give you these things. I would gladly send your petition to the Emperor.” “ “Well” continued- the delegates, ‘we are delegates of a revolution and if we do not get what we want we have de- cided to burn the city. Give us 7500 rubles.’ “The Mayor and his colleagues thought it was better to pay the 7500 rubles than to have the city burned, so they raised the money, paid the delegates, and the latter went away promising to be very good, and they ,ere good. But another crowd came and®said: “ ‘What about’ us? Pay us, too.’ “This the Mayor would not do, ana :lhey went away with threats of destruc- on. WOMAN AT THE HEAD. ““The ‘Red Virgin' of the French com- mune was Louise Michel. Well, in Reval a certain widow, named Linde, dressed in scarlet from top to-toe and with an ax over her shoulder, placed herself at the head of the mob. All night the revo- lutionists ~whetted themselves up. In the meantime the Governor had got out troops amd the mob gathered in the morning facing the soldiers in the great square. The Governor called on the mob to disperse and said that if, after fifteen minutes they did not disperse, he would order the troops to fire. Five minutes went by and the widow Linde, in red, climbed a lamp post and cried out en- couragement and exhorted strength for the revolution. The soldiers began to call out to the people to go away, as if they were ordered to fire they must do so and they dia not want to kill anybody. “Kill him! Kill him!' screamed the widow Linde, pointing to the Governor. “Several revolver shots were fired from the crowd, but no one was hit. The Governor, who waited to the end of the fiftcen minutes, then gave the command to tire, and the widow Linde, shot through the body, fell to the ground as, Baron Euxull, an eye-witness, told me, ‘like a sparrow from a twig.’ “One hundred and five dead persons were picked up from the square and thirty more died in the hospitals. EMPEROR COOLEST MAN. “The coolest man in Russia is the Em- peror. God grant that he may keep his reat, that the Liberals may gather about him, and that they may resist the forces of dissolution. = His authority is shaken, passions-are loose and things are likely to be worse. There may be fearful slavghterings. As an optimist, T think a hundred thousand may fall. If I were pessimistic 1 would say 2,000,000. “When the police are Indifferent the “Hooligans’ break loose and Toryism in society also breaks loose. That mass of ignorant conservatives which only thinks of Kkilling, the black hundred of Moscow, are conservatives ‘who are offended by the Laberals getting the upper: hand. All through the Russian Empire authority as represented by the police, Cossacks and gendarmes is shaken, as I have said, and the forces that tend to tear society apart are at work.” Stead added that the army could no longer be depended upon. Several officers at Helsingfors had sent word to the Liberals while holding a meeting that they need not be afraild as the troops ‘would not fire. “The Liberals,” he continued, “are un- fortunately holding back from support of the crown at a ‘time when every man who has a good coat on his back or a ruble in his pocket should stand by the Bmperor, who has placed f on the unable at The t e To=Day’s Special Feature son Second FlOOl‘ Ovetcoahforboyld all sizes, made up in the season’s Women’s Eton Suits $20 and Utility CGoats $17.50 Distinctly new and pretty models.

Autocracy lost the respect of the country during the war and during the delay in granting those liberties which the Em- peror decided upon two months ago. “The situation has been as though a man who owed you £1000 and had prom- ised to pay it and meant to pay it was dunning you for eight shillings and six pence. The thing to save Russia is for | the Liberals to organize gpecial constabu- laries to uphoid order and allow time to work out the new government machinery.

ODESSA, 'Nov. 7.—Four hundred and twelve Jews, victims of the massacres of | last week, were buried to-day. A ma- jority of the shops were closed, includ- ing many of those belonging to Chris- tlans. The scenes of grief were heart- rending and almost indescribable as the bodies were placed in trenches, each trench containing seventy. Similar fun- erals will continue for three days. Two hundred and forty of the bodies were in such o conditlon that they could not be recognized. On each grave wreaths were placed bearing the inscription “Mflrtyr‘i to the faith—victims of the autocracy.” The Town Councii and the newspapers have begun collections in behalf of the victims of last week's slaughter. The municipality headed the list with $12,500 | and has re-established temporary refugéds and food kitchens. The property losses total many millions and no less than 8§09 families are ruined. | Some wealthy merchants have been re- duced to poverty. Rallroad traffic is now | entirely restored. | The newspapers, in consequence of the Governor's warning, appeared to-day without a word of reference to the great- | est disaster which has visited Odessa since its foundation. s The Archbishop of Odessa has pub- lished an appeal to the Christians de- ; nounclng the massacres and invoking peace. < The reactionary Mayor, Kryzhanovsky, Chief of Police Golovin and Curator of Educational Institutions Solsky have re- | signed. The mobs completely devastated, plun-I dered and burned all the Jewish houses ! in the suburb of Dalnik. In the largc | villages of Severinovka and Anatolievka | and the towns of Ovidiopol, Malami, Ak- | kesman, Ataki, Olviopol and Winitza | many hundred persons are reported to haye been killed and thousands wounded. " The details of the last week's massacres | at Odessa are sradually leaking out and ! only serve to add to the horrors. It np—i pears that the soldiers slaughtered the de- fenders of Jewish houses. In one case | forty-six railway workmen who were de- fending Jews on Frohorsvkia l'.reet were shot. At the Jewish Agricuitural Sehool the rioters first secured a large sum of money i from the principal as a guarantee of his | safety and afterward returned and de- manded more.
