The news from Moscow is even less encouraging. The railroads are still run- and the telegraphers have fatly re- fused to consider a strike for the political of the Poles, whose endangered lib- erties form the ostensible cause of the ike in St. Petersburg. Work is being med in Moscow and the news from r sections shows that the call of the . Petersburg committee has awakened little sympathy. APPEAL 'TO THE MILITARY. The workmen's organization to-day ad- dressed the following appeal to the sol- i and saflors: omrades and Brothers: For a long time we have misunderstood each other. Your officers taught you to regard us'as | enemies of the fatherland and as crim- inals whom you should shoot, beat with your: whips and butcher with your bay~ onets. “Our struggle for the people's freedom and the people’s well-being has been de- picted to you as a revolution against the fatherland which you are obliged to sups press. Many of you, belleving this, have shot your own brothers, filled the streets of our towns with blood. !“The case is now altered. The eyes of, many,of the soldiers and sailors have been opened. They understand that all of us are brothers and that we are sons of the same nation, whose common en- | emies are your commanders and those in power. They understand that the liberty of the people is their own liberty and the good of the people their own good. “The men of the Baltic Sea, at Kron- stadt, stood against their commanders and signified that they wanted to lead the lives of men; that they wanted lib- and they associated themselves with the use of the people. A hundred sail- ors at Kronstadt have been handed over | to a court-martial and to-day or to-mor- row may be executed. Knowing this, we workmen of St. Petersburg struck, de- manding ghe release of our soldier and sailor brothers and the abolition of courts- martial and the death penalty. “Is. it possible that you, soldiers and sailors, will not arise and help your broth- ers at Kronstadt? Is it possible that you will remain hand in hand with the mur- derers of our brothers at Kronstadt? We workmen say: ‘The cause of the soldier and the sailor is our cause’ and so we have gone out on strike. You must say everywhere ‘the cause of the workmen is our cause and the struggle of the work- and you must asso- clate yourselves with the struggling peo- ple. You must strike and refuse to per- form the duties imposed on you. Don’t listen to the word of command calling upon you to put down the workmen's movement. Let not one shot be fired by you against the people. “Down with your bloodthirsty com- manders. Long live a free government | and a free people.” REPORT OF A MUTINY. A mutiny in the Manchurian the Iatest sensational rumor eity. According to a report a dispatch has been recelved from Genmeral Line- telling of a revolt among the troops which was only suppressed af- ter a regular fight ia which many sol- diers were killed or wounded. Forty- Under General Linevitch in Manchuria. i | ;(w\o officers are reported to_have been | | shot for. participation in the Tonspiracy:” | No confirmation of the rumor is ob- tainable from officials of the War Of- | | fice. i | General Dedulin, Prefect of Police, | issued a proclamation to-day, calling { upon the inhabitants not to yield to the | demands of the strikers for the cessa- | tion from work, which demands, it is | | pointed out, are sometimes accom- | panied by theats. ‘The proclamation | announces that all measures will i 1 be | | taken for the repression of violence. 1 { In some quarters the belief is ex-| | pressed that martial law will be pro- | claimed in St. Petersburg to-morrow. ! { It is said that the Emperor and Grand | Dukes insist on this step, against the counsels of Count de Witte. | The employers during the day finally | informed the workmen that they had | decided against an eight-hour day. There was an unprecedented run on the savings banks to-day. Some of them were unable to meet the demand immediately. The uftefly reckless spirit manifested | by the *reds,” who engineered the pres- | ent strike, is producing a natural revul- sion of feeling which is shared by all| classes of society. The prospect of an- archy and mob rule, which would be the logical outcome of the present demoral- ized conditions in both the country dis- | tricts and the cities, has had a sobering | influence. The lower classes, who are al- | ways on| the verge of starvation, are growing bitterly angry against the agi- tators, who by these’ continued strikes are taking the -bread from their mouths and not only without being incited by the police but in spite of all the authori- ties. MIDDLE CLASS DISGUSTED. 1t s the Intelligent and middle class, however! which is beginning to rally to | the support of the Government in its efforts to restore something like order and public tranquillity. Many of the Lib- erals, who fought the Government active- Iy before the proclamation of the Em- peror's manifesto, are now convinced that their leaders blundered frightfully by re- fusing to lend their support to Count Witte in his difficult task because he had declined to accept the unqualified | conditions laid down by them. They see | now that it is too late; that they missed the great opportunity of becoming the leading influence in the Government and that by their inaction they have become a.negligible quantity. The leadership which they fondly imagined they exercised has passed over to the extreme Socialistic element, with whose extravagant programme for the leveling of all ranks they have nothing in common. They realize that the restor- | ation of public tranquillity is an imme- | { diate necessity or-otherwise the Govern- ment will soon havé to choose between repression and anarchy. One disgusted Liberal was heard to say that after all he preferred the despot- ism of the Government, which at least preserved order, to the tyranny of mob rule. The new party of “Law and Order,” which has lately sprung into being, with organizations In St. Petersburg, Moscow, the Baltic provinces, Astrakhan, Simfero- pol and elsewhere the principal plank in the platform of which is the rallying of the sober and conservative forces of the | nation for the purpose of attaining long- expected libertles through co-operation with Count Witte, is preaching that all will be lost and the country plung@d into hopeless bloodshed unless the “forces of law and order” unite to aid tne Pre- mier. [ [ M. Krosowsky, president of the' St. Petersburg Municipal Council, who has placed himself at the head of the St. Petersburg group of this party, presided yesterday at an enthusiastic meeting of leading citizens, including many who for years have been prominently identified with the Liberal cause, who enrolled themselves under the banner of the party against the agitators. The exodus of foreign residents, who are afraid to remain during the winter, continues. Most of them are going by way of Finland, as all accommodations on the boats which will sail before the close of navigation have been engaged. The cost of passage to Stettin by water, which ordinarily is §12, is now $100. Many members of the English and German col- onies and about half of the small Ameri- can colony are leaving. Over 2,000 for- eign passports have been issued in St. Petersburg during the last two weeks. i S PEASANTS ON THE MARCH. Pillaging and Burning in Don and Volga Valleys. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 11.—The ‘Workmen’s Council returned a scornful reply to Count Witte’s personal appeal to his “brother workmen,” ridiculing the Government’s profession of solicitude for the workmen and renewing their de- mands for the immediate abolition eof martial law in Poland. ' Count Witte's attempt to negotiate di- rectly with the strike leaders has come to naught, although he offered conces- sions in the case of the Kronstadt mu- tineers in the event of their being con- demned to death. But the leaders re- fused all compromise. ‘*‘All or nothing,” was their response. The imperial ukase on the .anud ques- tion issued to-day, although it wipes out about $40,000,000 of the peasants’ arrear- ages of debt, which under ordinary cir- cumstances might have been received with joy, Is another disappointment. The promises of additional lands are too vague to calm the agitated, starving { peasants, who in the valleys of the Don and Volga are again marching, pillaging, burning and- murdering. No confirmation has been obtained of yesterday's report of a false Emperor leading the peasants of Pensa. TR 5 QUIET REIGNS AT MOSCOW. Rallroads Are Open and Trafic to St. Petersburg Is Resumed.

DEPEW COULD NOT RECALL THE NAME. ‘While Tarbell was testifying Senator Depew was recalled and asked about vouchers of John A. Nichols for $1000 for legal services to the Equitable. Senator Depew could throw no light on the matter bevond the fact that Nichols was re- tained by the Equitable. Nichols was at one time quarantine commissioner, Senator Depew sald, and was active in Hughes, counsel for the committee; read an extract from written by Nichols to the Senator in which the following appeared: “That this is to remind you that some one gets round at this time of the year.” 3 ¥ ‘Do you recall?” asked Hughes, “who this some one is?’ 1 do not recall his name,” said Senator Depew.
