PETERSBURG, March 14.—At to- | day’s session of the Cabinet Premier de Witte, who was warmly supported by Prince Alexis Obolensky, Procurator General of the Holy Synod, and Count | Joha Tolstol, Minister of Education, in- | sisted on the suppression of the organ- ization known as the League of the RusSian People, through which the the reactionary “Black | Hundreds” is propagated. 'The Prefect of Police, Von der Launitz, was sum- moned to the meeting and asked to | explain how it was that the publica- | tion of the proclamation calling for the | extermination of the Jews was print- ed in the official printing office at- tached to his department. The Prefect denied having any personal knowledge | | | | of the printing. | It was established that there was constantly accumulating evidence that |the plot to produce a counter-rev- | olution in the hope of sweeping away | the reforms outlined in the manifesto | of October 30 had its origin in a court | cabal. The conspiracy includes Gen- eral Trepoff, commandant of the 'pal- ace; General Count Ignatieff, M. §titch- | insky, former chief adjutant of the In- ’lormr Department; Count Sherometieff, 2 noted reactionary, and General Prince to be utterly Putiatin, who are said | reckless of consequences. | | The plan #s to provoke riots and mas- sacres of Jews and revolutionists over as wide an area as possible and there- | | by prove to the Emperor that the peo- | ple are not ripe for any sort of self- | government.

They forced the rear door and were inside when Patrol- men Duhain and Douglas arrived in the back yard, cornering the men inside. One man walked into the arms of the officers and the other ran into the darkness. The men under arrest answer the de- sciptions of two criminals wanted by the police for a dozen holdups.

' They' come believing that a strike is inevitable in the ‘amthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania, but de- termined that there shall be no trouble in the bituminous section. Satisfied that a concession, or backdown, after the answer of the hard coal operators would be as bad as defeat, they will ac- cept the challenge and will fight with the sinews of war supplied by the Illin- ols, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Alabama, Indlan Territory and Western Pennsyl- vania soft coal miners. So certain are the delegates that there will be a hard coal fight that of 1000 men who are here not one Is known to have any hope of a peaceful outcome. R President Roosevelt's power in the premises now, In the opinion of the delegates to the unien ecenvention, should be very surprising to the Pres- ident himself. The delegates almos” fear now that If he attempts to inter- vene or to bring about a peaceful so- lution he will be told by both the hard and soft coal men to keep his hands off. He is being reseryed for the fut- ure, when, after months of fighting, the clamer over increased coal prices in New York and east will have become So strong that he will act with the backing of public epinion.

BENJ. CURTAZ @ SONS 16 O’FARRELL STREET, RAOUL PUGNQO'S PLAYING SHOWS MUCH DELICACY An extraordinary elan, a delicacy equally exceptional and delightful, characterize t playing of Raoul Pugno, greatest Bt the French pianists, who last night made his debut in San Francisco. M, Pugne's school is pre- eminently French, better—Parisian. It Jhas all the polish, elegance, discre- tion, elarity of the best Fremch art. It has brilliance, distinetion and an ex- quisite vivacity. aAnd M. Pugao has a tone that alone is worth going to hear. It is altogether lovely, thin, silky as a violin’s ip the pianissimos, and all sweet in the maddest fortes. He has truly the touch wonderful. M. Pugno was at his best, interpreta- tively, last night in the Bach, Scarlatt and Handel things that began the pro- graime. Here was shown a sure and exquisite taste. a technical clarity and a really miraculous suggestion of the harpsichord tone that made the group wholly enshanting. For his Beethoven sonata M. Pugno gave us the “Moon- light,” with a phenomenally brilliant Presto to distinguish it. The opening movement lacked a lttle in the sing- ing of the phrase (net emphatically in the tome) but was beautifully limpid. Least of all one liked the pianist in the Chopin G minor Ballade, curiously trivial in its first phrases, yet again of splendid consequence in_ its later bravura movement. M. Pugno also gave the “Berceuse,” and again snipped the melody into little (If lovely) pieces and then dressed it with an exquisite- ness of pianistic millinery that left one without a wish. His Schumann. in the rillen” was charming, all humor and whim, but In “Des Abends" M. Pugno again declined to sing, but the “Ende ven Lied,” with its dazsling staccate, compensated. The programme closed in a blaze of enthusiasm with the Lizst “Rhapsody,” a gorgeous technical dis- play. Certainly no one musical can af- ford to miss M. Pugne. He will be heard again tomorrow evening and Sat- fternoon. e eELA CHE PARTINGTON. ———————— SUIT FOR RECEIVER FOR WESTERN AGENCY COMPANY Action Is Begunm In Salt Lake to Take © the Comeern Out of Tyree's Hands.
