Physical evidence of the change from the old order to the new was seen when workmen with ladders scaled the fronts of the public buildings in Petrograd ond effaced the imperial arms. The wooden signs were burned with impromptu ceremonies in the streets and the metal and stone ones were hurled on the dce in the can Russia wil. probably become a republic, on the general Ines of the United States. The ultimate form of government, however, will be left in the hands of the Russian soldiers. The provisional government believes the men who are offering their lives to safeguard the nation should be permitted to decide. All army officers pfesent in Petrograd met to-day and unanimously re ,, @olved to recognize the authority of the Duma. Speeches were made stating realization of the army in the Indispensable need for reestablishment of order as speedily as possible, that the “work Dehind the trenches” might proces. Moscow accomplished the change from autocracy to democracy without 4 single shot being fred, according to authoritative information obtained here to-day The city was orderly throughout the time that Petrograd was in the throes of street fighting Before he issued his formal notice of abdication, on behalf of himself and his son, Czar Nicholas transferred the supreme command of all the Russian armies to Grand Duke Nicholas, regarded as the best general the war bas produced. He is beloved by the army. Grand Duke Nicholas, it is announced, hus the confidence of the revolutionary leaders, and is likely to be given absolute powers, with the title of Dictator, until the new form of government is decided upon. He is said to be already in the city ta command. bd Pending the meeting of the Constitutional Assembly and the formal . appointment of Nicholas as Dictator, complete authority is vested in the Executive Committee of the Duma and the newly chosen Council) of . Ministers. This decision was reached shortly after midnight Friday morning, though {t has just been officially announced, It followed Immediately on the heels of the action of the Czar in formally abdicating, for himself and bis son, Grand Duke Alexis, in favor of his brother, Grand Duke Michael At 2.30 o’clock yesterday afternoon Michael Regency, himself abdicated his rights to the Russian throne, thus bringing to an end the Romanoff dynasty. {The house of Romanoff te descended from Andre!

The Russian garrison at the fortress of Sveaborg, which defends Hel- singfors, has refused to join the revolution, according to a despatch re- celved by the Swedish newspaper Nyheter and forwarded here by the Stock- holm correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Company. The Russian . Soldiers, the despatch adds, mutinied and the fortress has been declared in a state of sie; Maj. Gen, Zein, Governor Genora) of Finland, has been arrested by the commander of the Baltic feet on the order of the Provisional Government, according to a Reuter's Petrograd despatch. Senator Borovitinoff, Vice » President of the Economic Department of the Finnish Senate, has also been arrested. F. I. Roditcheff, leader of the Constitutional Democrats in the Duma, has been appointed Minister for Finiand and directed to proceed at once to Helsingfors. Maj. Gen, Zein has been Governor of Finland since November, 1909, | and bas been noted for the drastic methods he used to suppress any popular he outbreak. M. Roditcheff has been prominent in Duma affairs since the Russian Parliament was created. He has been a vigorous advocate of the “rights of the Jews and was once denounced agp meiman by the Em. peror. The Provisional Government has issued the following appeal “Citizens: The Executive Committee of the Duma, with the aid and support of the garrison of the capital and its inhabitants, has succeeded im triumphing over the obnoxious forces of the old regime in such a man- er that we are able to proceed to a more stable organization of the execu- . tive power, with men whose pst political activity assures them the cou try's confidence,” | The names of the members of the new Government are then given.

Letters would be shown which had cone from Germany through the British censorship. These demonstrations of the absolute safety of the invisible ink usua@y disarmed the subject of all fear. The invisible ink, the subject was told, came from Germany through the mais in the disguise of medicine, A drop of the fluid was sufficient to pro- vide juk enough to write @ volume. Jn several instances the spy left the United States with the ink in bulk, but losing heart threw the fluid away before reaching England, or at least vefore writing anything of value. The spy employers then adopted other tucties. A dark cravat, the lapel of a coat or the black back lining of a vest would be saturated with the |huid. When the spy required the in- j Visible Ink he would simply soak a t | portion of the saturated garment in water and he had his means of com- Janunicating such Intelligence as he | might have gathered. Almost any grade of paper except that with a polished surface was available for use in writing with the invisible ink. The ink was used with a soft-pointed pen so that it would |not scratch into the paper. When | used, the Ink remained clear for a | few moments? and then faded com- pletely away. To doubly safeguard the writing the paper was rubbed with water to smooth out any inden- tations. Over the invisible writing an ordinary letter would then_ bi penned to the correspondent tn Hol land, Denmark or Not » The con- tinental recipient of the letter would in turn forward It into Germany, HOW THE BRITISH BECAME 8u8- Picious. As far as possible the spy employ- ers sought to have their men work in teams. These men were usually acquainted with each other, so that their correspondence would seem rea- sonable, and in their letters they dis- cussed subjects and persons known to them both, There were however, when the spy in England knew nothing about the man with Whom he corresponded except what he had been told before departing for his post of duty. It was this system that first made the British suspicious and led to a careful watch being kept on correspondence between England and Holland, Denmark and Norway. ‘The initial expenses of the trip to England and sufficient funds to keep the spy comfortably for several weeks were furnished at thisjend. When the funds had been nearly exhausted the spy would receive a message telling him to come to Holland. This call was usually arranged by a word or # sentence, For instance, the spy in England would one day receive an innocent letter telling of the heaith of the writer, the weather and such commonplaces. The spy in England |} was never Intrusted with thi veloper the secret writing. de- In of the letter the words “my rheuma- tism is improving” might occur. The word “rheumatism” would be the code which sald to the spy in Eng- land: “Come over to Holland as s00n as possible for money and in- structions." The spy would find an excuse for crossing to the Nether- lands and would there meet with German agents, who gave him minute instructions 4s to the information most keenly desired by Germany, fur- nish him with funds, agree upon’ code words to sult various emergencies and the spy would return to his post. Tno American spies were always instructed to mix with persons who might be informed of military and naval matters, They would frequent the London hotels where the soldiers hom) on leave ever welcomed a good fellow and were willing to tell him any things, provided, of course, that the questioner was not too keen to get Information, In this way the spy Was able to learn on what portion of the front certain regiments were sta- tioned, where certain warships were located, the number of men in train- Ing at various camps, the morale of the men at the front and aboard the | warships, and hundreds of other bits of information of great importance to an enemy. During the Zeppelin raids the spies reported the location jof munition plants, told of the dam age inflicted by the airships and the m hods being employed by the Eng h to “strafe” the aerial cruiser he spy worked in seeming safety, Mis invisible ink was Jndeed invisible and to all intents and ‘purposes he was gathering material for his papers or magozines at home, He gathered suoh material and wrote many ar- | ticles of such an Innocent nature that ho suspicion was aroused in the mind | of the censor, All went well until the authorities decided that Bacon was tltoxether tog much of a letter writer, When taken Into custody and accused of being @ spy he broke down and with his ife as his reward told of the system and Its methods, Not only did Bacon expose the in- visible Ink spy system to the British authorities, but he also consented to come to New York and act as a wit ness for the United Btates against those who hired him, The Washing- ton authorities were oxcendingly will. ing to co-operate with the Government to break up the practice of sending sples to a friendly country from the United States, and Bacon's Information speedily led to the arrests in New York, ' "30TH MAN SLAIN.
