LuM)OK, May U.- (Special Cablegram to
The lire.) The temper of the people of
Great Britain In perhaps more warm than
that of the people of France lu the mutter
Of the kaiser's Moroccan adventures,
though the feeling In France, according to
11 accounts, has been warm enough dur
ing the past few weeks. The warmth of
the temper of the people of London and
the provinces Is due In a large measure to
the belief that It is the Intention of tho
German emperor to partition Morocco be
tween Germany, France and Spain, the
Atlantic seaboard falling as Germany's
S hare.
Nobody seems to know what lies beyond
In the general program of the emperor
of Germuny, but his movements certainly
have not been conducive toward the gen
eral peace and welfare of Europe. About
all that Is known Is that he regards
Morocco as more rich In natural resources
than Algeria, and that ho Is convinced
that It Is the duty of the nations of con
tinental Europe to open the country up
to the civilization and the commerce of
the world.
One Idea which has beer, advanced here,
preposterous an it may appear upon tho
surface, has found many believers. It Is
to the effect that the kaiser really believes
that the desert of Sahara can be con
verted Into a colony of the German em
pire and made to blossom as the roso
by letting the waters In from the ocean.
In this event the Atlantic seaboard of
Morocco would prove a magnificent base
of operations, giving Germany ports and
harbors for Germany's North African em
pire. -
This scheme of redemption of the desert
of Sahara la by no means a new one, but
It has been a favorite theory ever since the
beginning of great engineering works like
the Kiel canal and the Slmplon tunnel.
And some of these engineers, it Is known.

ready to listen to new propositions, and
who shows a familiarity with engineering
projects which sometimes startles the n-
glnsors themselves.,.

This conquest of the Sahara has been the
dream of adventurous spirits In continental
Europe for a hundred years. Actuated by
the Napoleonic philosophy that man must
be a public benefactor who makes two
blades of grass grow where one grew be
fore adventurers like Lebaudy have had
themselves declared kings and emperors
of Sahara, starting navies with steam
yachts, and running the risk of being de
clared pirates by reason of the flying of
strange and unknown flags from the mast
heads of their little toy navies. If the
German emperor should take up the propo
sition, barked by the financial genius and
the engineering skill of the German peo
ple. It Is not too much to say that he
might go a long way toward realizing his
heart's desire that of a great colony, peo
pled by persons Bpeaklng the German
tongue.
That the Germans are hard pressed for
lands for purposes of colonization' ' has
long since been recognized by the states

obtain a foothold In South America have
failed, owing to the Jealous persistency
with which the people of the I'nited States
have clung to the Monroe doctrine. Such
lands as Germany possesses In the southern
part of Africa are uuhealthful, small In
rea and wldelv scattered. Russia's hard
experience with the Japanese In Asia does
not lend much encouragement toward ter
ritorial aggrandizement In the Orient, and
the German possessions in that part of
the world Hie llulo more than coaling sta

an area In round numbers of S,500,000 square
miles. The present population of tho
desert does not exceed l,0"0.ooo, made up
almost altogether of ncmndlc and seml

ticular harm It could be argued that he
was really doing the world good by letting
the waters of the Atlantic and the Mediter
ranean into this hltheito unconquered and
unconquerable desert.
German Rankers Interested.
It Is known that the German bankers
are taking an active Interest In Moroccan
affairs since the visit of the German em
peror to that country. German Invest
ments are being made at a rapid rate In
all sections of north Africa, all the way
from Abyssinian railroads, on the eastern
extremity of the territory apparently cov
eted by the kaiser, to Morocco on thei
west. The Oerman consul continues In
high favor with the sultan of Morocoo,
by whom he la received several times a
day.
If this Is the real meaning of the "dark
procedure" and the hidden policy of the
kaiser, the movement may yet make for
peace Instead of war, since It Is difficult
to Imagine the nations of the world going
to war for a stretch of sands, a barren
Parliament May Have to Setlle Matter
Between Prealt) terlnn llodles
of Scotland,
EDtNBT'RO, May 13. -(Special Cablegram
to The Lee.) The Siotttsh Free church
dispute hns reached sue h a stage that It
appears Impossible to settle contro
versy short of an appeal to Parliament.
The report of Lord Elgin's commission, ap
pointed to Inquire Into the affair, has
stirred up the bitterest feeling In Scotland.
The commissioners say that they an!
forced to the conclusion that the Free
church Is Incapable of carrying on the
religious work of the church which It
represents.
Thmught the report of Lord Elgin's com-
mlslson bears the stamp of authority It
Is doubtful whether it will have the effect
of bringing together the factions repre
sented by the Free church and the United
Free church. The Scottish people have
always been extremely tenacious In mat
ters where religious principles are In
volved and Parliamentary interference has
ordinarily done more harm than good.
In this case Lord Elgin's commission says
that the dispute is a case which fully
Justifies, Indeed necessitates, tho Interfer
ence of Parliament. It urges that this
commission or other authority should pos
sess executive and administrative powers
and that the whole of the funds of the
Free church, also all of the property, as
at October 31, l&'O, should be vested In this
authority; that where the Free church Is
unable tei adequately execute the trusts,
the commission should be empowered to
transfer tho funds and tho property, and
that the United Free church Is entitled
to be preferred on the ground that It can
adequately perform the trust purposes.
The retort of some of the leaders of the
Free rhurch congregations Is to the effe?t
that while the church pnpprty may bo
turned over to the United Free chure'h
people. It Is quite another thing to be
able to turn over the Free church congre
gations and that the Free church of Shet
land will at once be reorganized and keep
up its organization as of yore. v

War Experiences May Not

LONDON", May 13. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) A general signing himself
as "African Brigadier," is out with a
statement warning Great Britain against
hastily altering Its military methods be
cause of tho so-called lessons on the war
In the far east. He say3 in part:
"Primarily there Is the question of the
attack. Are wo to accept without ques
tion that positions can be slorme-d ' en
masse, If held, say by Germans, French
or Americans? Is It not a fact that the
rifle In tho hands of the Russian peasant
soldiery was not uttlize'd to the full extent
of which It Is capable In repelling an
attack.
"The Russians were not able to use their
fire adequately, with the result that the
Japanese, counting upon this deficiency,
stormed positions with masses and re
ceived ' they terrible , casualties of close
uiartjiMMdt ; Jyitead. -ot mUc vrVr.-ta&i
massacre Which might have ensued If
every foot of the advance had beon cov
ered by efficient rifle lire.
"I, for one, would not like to lead troops
in sucn circumstances against an army
well skilled lu the use of the rltle. Will
it be good also to accept the lesson that
close order bayonet work under cover of
night will be successful against, say the
Germans, who turn darkness Into day with
searchlight.
"Napoleon said that fire Is everything,
and the rest of small account. In tha
case of the Russians It was the fire that
had been of small account; therefore let
us have ample evidence that the lessons
of the war are drawn from fairly normal
conditions before we alter our methods.
Personally, I am of the opinion that no
attack in mass of any kind can survlvo
efficient rifle fire."
SOCIALISTS IN AN UPROAR
Resolution Calling for Union of All
Branches Results la Warm
Debate.
LONDON, May 13 (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) At the twenty-fifth annual
conference of the Social Democratic fed
eration, held at Northampton, the question
of unity among socialist organizations was
discussed with some warmth. The Burnley
branch brought up a resolution for calling
a conference of all socialist organization In
Great Britain, the business of which should
be to discuss, and If possible, to agree upon
a line of common policy and action upon
all matters of national and International
Importance to the socialist movement.
This was moved by Mr. Dan Irving and
astonishment was expressed by Mr. Halnd
nian that France should have been able to
federate. There was a rival resolution
trusting the council would continue Its
endeavors to bring about unity. In ac
cordance with the decision, arrived at by
the Amsterdam congress. There was a
large majority for the rival amendment
and It was adopted.
Mr. Irving thereupon complained that
the Burnley resolution had been Ignored
and amid some uproar he declared his In
tention of leaviag the conference unless
the sense of the delegates were taken upon
It. Counsellor Grlbbc, the chairman, ul
timately consented to a direct vote being
taken upon the original resolution and it
was negatived. Mr. Irving next, amielst
continued dlsturbani'e, repen ted that certain
delegates had voted directly contrary to
their branch Instructions. An animated
discusslem resulted In a formal demand
that another vote be taken by branches.
This was done and the rival resolution
stood.
LONDON, May 13. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee. The removal of the body of Jeihn
Paul Jones from the old St. Loiis cemtteiy
In Paris to the United States, tl.unlts to tho
assiduous efTurta of General Porter, the
United States ambassador, has called forth
some Interesting comment 'n tno European
pre'ss. As a general thing the comment has
been kind and considerate, but u uler the
heading of "An Eighteenth Century pirate"
the London Daily Telegraph comes to tho
front with a remarkable attack upen the
character of Paul Jones. After savin that
the career of John Paul Jones was filled
with as many adventures as e-er distin
guished the life of any hero Immorluli'.eel
by Alexander Dumas the Daily Telegraph
Mlntif ttui nv f :i temen e a vhlph I'.'innot f.lll
. ivmHii in ulfl.it-!) Mn iiimiimmt till till ther
siele of the water.
The Dally Telegraph quotes a number of
writers In support of some of its asscrtijns.
A man "of the most determined and fero
cious courage" was the character i;lv?ii him
by Prof. J. K. Laughton, who also credited
him with the possession of 'JinllnKulshi'd
talent and originality." In another direc
tion, says the Daily Telegraph, the well
known naval historian diil not lU'.iuo mat
ters when defiling with the idiosyncrasies
of Paul Jones. "His vanity," he wrote,
"was excessive and his meir.xl character
may he summed up in the one word eleti-Bt-able."
Continuing, the Daily relognpn says:
"But history, wisely enough, never con
cerned itself overmuch with Paul Jones'
moral character. A pirate Is tie't sapposeel
to possess one, ami if he did he would need
It difficult to kneiw what to do v-nr. 11. Nor
was any pirate in the world's history ever
expected to find in honor a useful com
modity. Yet Pnul Jones could talk very
big about honor upon oeeasiom, Just as he
prated whenever opportunity arose about
his successful love affairs. But as even
the most patriotic of Amerle-iens would
cheerfully admit John Pnul Jones was a
hero of the high seas not of eh'.valry. A
decade after his death Napoleon Is reputed
to have said of him: 'If tut m.irl had
'Ibv-I FrunwisKndd trnvf tin J an ntrmtrnl;'
But it Is tolerably certain that wtrh Na
poleon Paul Jones who In one sense was a
more consummate egotist even than the
great Corslcan would not havo tubbed
along for a single hour. One uf the two
would have Inevitably gone to tee. wall. If
France had found an admiral It would un
questionably have lost an emperor.
Deeds of Paul Jones.
"When the American war of independ
ence broke out Paul Jones embraced the
causa of the colonies and accepted a com
mand In the navy of the new republic,
At White Haven he fired one ship and
spiked thirty guns; from St. Mary's l.ilo
he bore away Lord Selkirk s plate (which
some years later he restored.) Bui truly
melodramatic and full of lurid incidents
was the Bonhomme Kiena.u s encounter
with the British vessel Serapis. The crew
of the French ship was certainly cos
mopolitan and numbered In Its ranks but
few native born Americans. Their com
bined efforts were as nothing to the in
trepid gallantry and the imperturbable
sangfroid of the Bonhomme Richard's com
mander. One of that vessel's officers be
lieving It to be sinking called out that
she surrendered. Infuriated Jones flung a
pistol at the offender's head and broke his
fkull. Asked by the commands.' of the
opposing ship whether lie would surrender
the valiant Invader in his best and nust
Impressive melodramatic manner replied,
'Surrender be damned! I am only Just be
ginning to fight.'
Eventually, as all students of naval his
tory know. It was the Seiapis that sur
rendered. The Bonhomme Richard was
beaten more than once, but the spirit of
Jones coulel not be ovorcome. Yet If his
tory on this point la to ho relied on so
incurable and egregious was the hero's
vanity and so strong a spirit of theatrical
bombast within htm that he took part not
long after on the deck of a Flench vissol
in a representation of the character of
Flamborough Head of the British n.an-o -war,
the protagonist, It Is sapi, 'reclin
ing under a pink silk awning, surrounded
by Parisian society womsti, while sailors
discharged missiles at perfidious Albion." A
pretty and significant picture. It will be
interesting in due course to see in
what Walhalla the remains of the most
! agreeable of 'sea wolves' as a leader of
Parisian society once dubbed him are
I destined to Hnd a permanent i eating place."
KITCHENER IS NOT AT PEACE
Friction Develops Between Him and
Military Member of Indian '
t le'rroj'n Council.
LONDON, May 1.1 -(Special Cablegram to
Tho Bee.) The friction between Lord
Kitchener nnd Sir Eelmond Elles, military
member of the viceroy's council In India,
excites deep Interest In military circles
here. Sympathy is entirely with Lord
Kitchener. Among high military authori
ties at home It Is felt that his position Is
a wholly Intolerable and anomalous one.
It Is also felt very keenly that his resigna
tion would be a great calamity to India
and that every possible means should be
taken to avoid It.
A distinguished general now In London
was Interviewed on the subject this week.
It It obviously Impossible to mention
names, but It may be said without breach
of confidence that the name of this officer
is one which his splendlel services have
maele famous 'n two continents.
"Lord Kitchener's position," he said, "Is
very simple. As commander-in-chief he has
devised a scheme for the reorganization of
ths Indian army which has met with the
enthusiastic approval of every military ex
pert. Every commander-in-chief in India
of late years has had the fact emphatically
borne In on him that reorganization is ab
solutely necessary if India Is to be retained
for tho empire Lord Kitchener is the
strong man who put that reorganization
scheme In force after minutely testing
every detail of his plan and after obtain
ing for It the sanction of tho imperial gov
ernment. "What happens?" continued the
general. "The military member of the vice
roy's ceuine ll a brave seilelier, I admit, and
a good fellow, but without a thousandth
part of the administrative ability which has
made Kitchener what he is steps In and
vetejes one of tho commander-in-chief's
proposals because he dors not think it
necessary, nnd another because he cannot
see the drift of It, and so on.
"But he Is not required to see the drift
of It. All KitrheneT's proposals are Inter
dependent. If, because you cannot see the
full scope of the scheme, you lop off a
change here or a movement there, you Im
peril tho wholo project. Back of the whole
business lies the paralyzing Influence of the
Indian bureaucracy. The fear In the secre
tariat Is that if Lord Kitchener is permitted
to carry through his scheme In Its entirety
he will have more power than the viceroy.
That, of course, Is rubbish. Lord Kitchener
Is commander-in-chief, and as such It Is his
duty to safeguard India by every means In
his power. If this kind of Interference Is
to be permitted not only will Lord Kitch
ener's great scheme be wrecked, but India
will lose the best commander-in-chief It has
ever had. Lord Kitchener's position la,
frankly, Intolerable. If ho la commander-in-chief
let him be commander-in-chief.
As things are going now the military ad
ministration of India Is being shipwrecked
and Kitchener is reduced to the position of
a mere routine officer."

to The Bee) The burning quesU'ii in Bel
glum today Is how to extend the port of
Antwerp in order to met tho exigencies of
the times. It is expected that the proposed
docks will cost at least KM.MlU.OOO, an im
provement well calculated to stagger the
minds of a people greater In numbers than
the jeeople of Belgium.
The windings of the Scheldt from the
town of Llllo up to Antwerp has always
been a bugbear of Belgian maritime trade,
for It has been predicted by experts that
in time the channel of the river Scheldt
between those two points would eventually
become choked, and then goodby to tho
prosperity of the now third port of the
world. To obviate this the government
proposed some twelve years ago to cut an
entirely new course for the Scheldt, which
would pass Inland at Llllo and curve gently
in a quarter circle to Join the natural bed
in front of Antwerp at the point where the
river turns abruptly in fremt of the city.
This new course would be some six miles
in length. Tho great objection to this,
however, was the danger of the total ob
struction of traffic during the progress of
the work, a danger which the city feared
would divert navigation toward Rotterdam
and Dunkirk, both of which places would
sleze the opportunity and permanently
withdraw much of Antwerp's clientele. The
plan Just proposed by the minister of
finance, Count de Smet de Maeyer, obvi
ates tills dSlleulty by cutting a canal to
run parallel with tho proposed new bed so
that this may serve tho traffic while the
new bed of the river Is being excavated.

BERLIN, May 13 -(Speclal Cablegram to

Reichstag grant a fixed annual allowance
to the German crown prince on the occa
sion or nis marriage wun tne Duchess
Cccllle of Mecklenburg-Schwerln,
A section of the German press Is already
supporting the proposal with a variety of
Interesting arguments, some of which will
hardly commend themselves to the kaiser
and his eldest son.
The Staatsburger Zeltung states that
the late Emperor Frederick, when crown
prince, became Involved In financial diffi
culties and had to borrow money from
wealthy Jews. The necessity of borrow
ing not only compromised his Imperial dig
nity, but made him more acceasable to
the political Influences of the Jews than
was desirable in the Interests of Germany.

CHICAGO, May 13. The strike of the
teamsters is expected to spread rapidly
during the next week. At a meeting heid
tonight between the teamsters' Joint coun
cil, which is the governing body ul the
local unions of the teamsters and repre
sentatives of the Team Owners' associa
tion, the latter Informed the representa
tives of the teamsters that their coneiitlon
made It necessary for them to make de
liveries to houses which had been boy
cotted by the unions and that they would
do so next week, heedless of the fact that
a strike existed at such place. The council
was urged to agree to this procedure and
avert a general strike.
After an extended debate among Its mem
bers the teamsters' council decided that It
would not agree to delivery of goods to
any of the boycotted houses by union
teamsters, and that strikes would be called
whenever a man was discharged for re
fusing to deliver goeids. Among the mem
bers of the Team Owners' association are
many of the largest Arms In the city en
gaged In the transportation business and
some of them employ several hundred
teamsters. The members of the association
have the contracts in large measures for
hauling between the large business houses
of the city and the railroads and have
heretofore sided with the teamsters rather
than with the members of the Employers'
association. They decided last night, how
ever, that they could ne longer refuse to
make deliveries and when the Teamsters'
union refused to agree to this the matter
was laid over one night to bo placed bo
fore the Joint council of. the teamsters.
This body having decided tonight that no
deliveries shall be maele. by union men, the
situation has reached a point where prac
tically all of the team owners in the city
are lined up against the Teamsters' union.
Strike Will Spread Rapidly.
The number of men now out is about
4,500, spd it Is expected that the strikes
that are coming next week will mora
than double this number. It means that
practically ail of the truck drivers In
the. city. will. on-strlka' within, a. few
days, and that deliveries between 'many
houses not affected by the strike will be
cut off. There Is also great danger that
the city's supply of food may bo seriously
curtailed for the reason that the members
of the Team Owners' association do the
greater part of the hauling for the commis
sion houses on South Water street,
through which passes the city's supply of
fresh vegetables.
The arguments In the meeting of the
teamsters' Joint council when the question
of acceding to or denying the proposition
of the Team Owners' association was up
for settlement, was at times heated, but
only on the question of whether or not
It was advisable to call a general strike
of all the 35,000 teamsters In the city or
allow the employers to force such a con
dition by Insisting upon deliveries to boy
cotted houses. The latter plan was finally
decided upon, and a messenger was at
once sent to Inform the members of tho
Team Owners' association that If they
made deliveries to houses employing non
union teamsters their men would be called
out at once. The team owners had ex
pected this reply and announced that they
were prepared to accept the situation.
They will commence at once to make de
liveries on Monday, and any driver who
declines to take goods to any place where
he Is ordered to take It will be discharged
Immediately.
Fear More Discord.
Members of the Teamsters' council after
their meeting announced that they con
fidently expected that the strike would
spread until it involved every union team
ster In the city. It Is generally feared
that the troubles of the early part of last
week will be resumed neiw that the ranks
of the strikers will be so greatly aug
mented. At the headquarters of the Employers'
association the news of the probable spread
of the strike was received without surprise.
Secretary Jot of that nsseiclatiein suld:
It simply means that all the business men
of this city will be obliged to take sides
against the teamsters. The teamsters have
iinnounee'U iniu, iiiey tne kijimk j mcvpih
all business in this. city unless it is done
in accordance with their clle-tatlem and we
are geelng te hheew them that we can do
It regardless of them.
In addition to refusing tho requests of
the Team Owners' assneiatlem, the team
sters' Joint council tonight toeik action that
may cause a general strike of all the car
riage and hearse drivers In the city. The
Liverymen's association, an organization
of employers, requcsti'd tho council to
oreler the drivers to deliver passengers at
their destination instead of stopping at
some dlstane-e from a store.
The coune'il refused to do this and if
the llvcymen do not recede from their
lit the strike of all drivers.

Formally Announces His Desire
Remain In the I'nited States
Senate.
to
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, May 13. (Special Tele
gram.) Senator Millard today authorised
me xonowlng. statement; . . . -
"After careful and serious consideration.
i mink It but right to my friends in Ne
braska to announce that I will be a candl
uaie io succeed myself as senator from
our state. '
The senator had Just come from his room
in the Wlllard hotel, after an illness of
several days, when he made this announce
ment to The Bee correspondent. In fact,
ne nau sent ror your correspondent. In
order that It might be given the widest
publicity in Nebraska. Although greatly
recovered rrom his recent Illness, Senator
Millard Is not a well man by any means.
no is weaic rrom the severe attack of
grippe which he has gone through and he
realizes that only Nebraska atmosphere
win onng him around.
The senator has been a much sicker man
tnan has been generally known. For sev
eral days he went wholly without nourish
ment and consequently his physical condi
tion was at a low ebb, but by careful
nursing his physician brought him throuith,
and although weak and looking exceedingly
pale. Senator Millard has determined to
start for Nebraska tomorrow, expecting to
arrive in Umaha on Tuesday morning.
In the announcement which he has au
thorlzed The Bee to make Senator Millard
recognizes that it may be a bit premature,
but having made up his mind to stand for
re-election he wants, as ho says, "My
friends to know where I stand as to the
succession.
The senator was too weak to discuss the
political conditions which obtain In Ne
braska at this time, nor did your corro-
spondent Insist upon such a discussion. The
mere announcement of the senator's Inten
tlon as given in this authoritative manner
wus sufficient.

ST. PETERSHl'RG, May 13.-Tomorrow,
the Russian May day, Is waited with nerv
ousness, both by the publtc and the au
thorities. The revolutionary agitators
would like to make It another "red Sun
day" anl everywhere In tho empire are
urging the workmen to celebrate the fete
with anti-government demonstrations and
to resist with arms If the police and troops
Interfere. The agitators ar covertly aided
by some radle-nls who have not the courage)
to come out into the open and who aro
trying to pave the way to set up the cry
of shooting down of innocents lu the event
of bloodshed by warning the authorities
that the meetings are Intended to be pa
cific, but a perusal of the countless procla
mations with which St. Petersburg, for
Instance, Is floodeet prove s conclusively that
It Is really Intended to precipitate collisions.
Many workmen are sale! to be armed with
bombs and revolvers and a largo stock of
pistols of an automatic repeating type,
smuggled In for the revolutionists, aro
being offered for sale to the Initiated at
cost price.
Many Big , Meetings Called.
Fortunately, saner liberals and even those
of radical views realizing the futility of
bloodshed, are counselling the workmen not
to Jeopardize their lives uselessly. Tha
police also have Issued systematic warn
ings. Nevertheless, disdaining the advice
of well wishers and defying the warnings
of the police, the social democrats and
social revolutionists have called big meet
ings to be held at Smolensk field on Vassll!
Island; at the Preobansk cemetery on tha
Schusselherg Schausso, where some of the
victims of January 22 are burled; at the
Petrovsky park, In the Vlbord quarter; at
several places In the Putiloff district and
at other Industrial centers. It Is almost
too much to hope the day will pass In
Russia without collisions or bloodshed.
Governor General TrepofT and Director
General of Tollce Kovalensky, while ex
pressing the hope that all will be quiet
tomorrow, as far as St. Petersburg Is con
cerned, admit the possibility of disorder.
At the same time they Insisted to th -Associated
Press that-If blood Is spl'Jed
the responsibility must rest upon those
who deliberately provoke It. Elaborate pre
cautions have been taken. The garrison
of the city was further reinforced during
the week and a large detachment of Don
Cossacks arrived tonight. Thoy stared
open-eyed at their first view of the St.
Isaac's cathedral of the big city as they
rode to their quarters.
.Will Try to Avoid Bloodshed.
Twenty-five thousand Cossacks wort sta.
t loned In various quarters, principally In
the outskirts, and all of the Guard regi
ments are under arms, but specific orders
issued by Prince Vasilchikoff, Grand Duke
Vladimir's aide, who will be in active com
mand, are that the order to fire must under
no circumstances be given until tho troops
are actually attacked. Special orders have
also been given to the Cossacks, who, with
the gendarmerie, will be used to disperse
the crowds, to not even draw their sabres
unless In the event of a Cossack being
killed or wounded, but to employ their
whips freely If necessary to scatter demon
strators. Peaceful crowds, If not organized for
demonstrating, will be permitted to as
semble. Today there was no sign of ap
proaching trouble. The workmen paid their
accustomed Saturday visits to the bath
houses and went shopping in the town and
otherwise enjoyed a half holiday. There
was no indication of the tension apparent
on the eve of the trouble of January 22.
At Goulyanye park, beyond the Putiloff
Industrial quarter there was industrial
promenaeles of girls of the peiorer classes
before prospective benedicts and the merry
making was as noisy and hearty as ever.
Vice Admiral Killed.
Vice Admiral Nazltoff was shot and
killed by an orderly In his room today.
The orderly fired threo shots from a re
volver at the uelmir.il. The crime Is at
