SIS G 1 | NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Roy A. Miller, a telephone superintendent in an uptown hotel, at an early hour this morning aroused the occupants of the apartment- hbuse where he lived in East Forty-third street by shouting that some one had Horace Hedden, living in the adjoining apartments, rushed out and fol- lowed Miller to the latter's dining-room, where 2 woman, supposed to be Miller's wife, fully dressed and unconsclous, lay upon the floor. Miller fell to his knees and begged her to say she had shot her- self, but there was no response, Hedden hurried out for help. Re(nrningi a few minutes later with a policeman and a doctor,. he found the woman dead and An all-day search had failed to locate the man. Neighbors of. the Millers heard no quar- rel, nor did they hear the report of the pistol. There were no signs of a struggle. The woman's clothing was scorched by the flash of powder, but the police say there was no trace of powder on her fingers. The pistol lay near the body, on the floor, one chamber empty. A search of the woman's effects lefld! the police to believe that her real name | was Miss Nellie Brod and that she came | here from British Columbia. Several let- ters addressed to her in that name were found and they were signed evidently by | her kinspeople. The police say the woman told several of her friends a few days ago that sl intended going back home. The letters were appeals to her to do so. Her effects were packed as though she had intended soon to leave the apartment where she had lived with Miller.

FORTY YEARS A GENERAL AND DION'T KNOW IT Army Man Just Leains He Was Promoted by Lincoln. . PUBBLO, Dec. 8.—Colonel J. R. Hurd, a member of the Colorado General As- sembly from this county, to-day received notice through a copy of an officlal pub- licatipn from Washington that for the t forty years he has ‘been a brigadier general of the United States army, hav- ing been appointed by President Lincoln. This information comes through the “Historical . Register and Dictlonary of the United States Army,” compiled in the ‘War Department by Francis B. Heitman and printed by Congress. It contains Gen- eral Hurd's complete war record and cites séveral instances of gallantry and meritorious services ' at Shiloh, Stone River and Chickamauga. . General Hurd was greatly surprised, as this is the first intimation he ever had of his promotion. He has been a resident of Pueblo for a great many years. He will make an effort to trace the commis- sion which President Lincoln: probably issued, as its possessién now would be well worth while.

Copyright, by the New York Herald Publishing Company. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 3.—By a tele- araph line especially left open to me by the strikers, I am enabled to send you the following dispateh: For days past the postal pickets have been in a state of rage because their strike plans contained a leak. This was in the form of the Danish cable, the only connecting link left with the outer world, and the Danish operators who were work- ing it refused to yleld. The strikers got into the building and tried to drive them out with asafetida. The sturdy Danes resisted. Diplomats, newspaper men and the entire foreign colony blessed them and the strikers cursed. Morning broke and they were still at their tickers. Many soldlers, big fellows, had been impressed into the service to carry telegrams. Several such soldiers came to me for my telegrams. One dad his cap pretty well filled. He was de- ! lighted with himgelf. His face was ra- diant with smiles. He had earned a sol- dier's pay for a year in one morning from the feeg of grateful receivers of unhoped-for dispatches. He said: “The strikers don’t say a word. We carry our dispatches under their very noses.” But the soldier was wrong. The pickets were not deceived one bit. At 1 o'clock it was announced that the cable was out, to the great dismay of bankers and others and to the joy of the strikers. So here we are completely cut off tele- graphically from the outer world. Count de Witte, from what I have heard, has under coumsideration severs measures of repression. He Is intentional- 1y for the time being placing no visible impediment in the way of the revolution- aries, but is carefully taking note of the speeches, manifestoes and names. At the given moment, when the evidence is am- ple, he will swoop down on the entire lot. As a leading banker to-day sald: “De Witte must act quickly and deel- sively before long; otherwise the situa- tion is lost.” oo v RUMORS EXCITE POPULACE.

Communication with Intense alarm prevails the outside The air is fllled also with stories of the alleged revolution at the palace on Fri- day, at which Grand Duke Boris is said to have attempted the life of the Em- peror. These, stories, true, but they prove that a revolutien in the palace is considered possible at any time. This situation has greatly increased the dangers of a financiaf crash. The people, even the commercial interests, are with- drawing their money from the banks, converting it into gold, hoarding it or de- manding foreign exchange. which the State Bank is issuing upon the foreign balances of the Government. Exchange on London yesterday rose to 9.30, more than a ruble above the normal. The situation in the Baltic region has grown exceedingly grave and the troops at Reval and vicinity are in open mutiny. This was the real cause of the extraordi- nary Cabinet meeting which was held at Tsarkoe-Selo last night. All attempts to secure details of the rig- ing have thus far failed. According to re- ports, the attitude of the troops In the Baltic provinces is regarded as the most dangerous factor that has thus far de- veloped. A strike of the policemen and house por- ters of St. Petersburg is scheduled for to-morrow (Sunday). Count de Witte continues to refuse to deal with the telegraphers, declaring that for the Government to yleld would be equivalent to its abdication at their order. Nevertheless, the surrender of the Gov- ernment to their demand for the dismissal of Durnovo, acting Minister of the Inte- rior, is as inevitable. Instructions to the Governors and the logal authorities are being sent with great difficuity over the raiiroad telegraph Iines. PRI RN SITUATION MORE HOPEFUL. Government Belleves It Has Averted a General Political Strike. ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday evening. Dec. (by courfer to Eydtkuhnen, Hast Prussia, Dec. 3.)—Thers is perceptibly & more confident feeling in Government circles to-night. It is believed the dan- ger of an immediate general political strike and railroad tie-up Is past and that the Workmen's Council will stand by a compromise under which Governmental and private factories will be opened. This will leave the hands of the Government free to deal with the telegraphers. M. Sevistanoff, superintendent of posts world by telegraph ceased this morning, when the Finnish operators joined their Russian comrades.
