PREDICTED THAT THE
WITTE
MINISTRY WILL FALL.
Ruanlan Government Finally Decides
, AgalnQt Universal Suffragc-Strecta
, . ,
i -t ma- ""- - " "Into tho cavalry. There
i With Blood."
St. Petersburg, Dec. l'J. It is
learned on high authority that the
1,'ovornment , has finally decided
against universal suffrage and practic
nllv In favor of tho old project of
twonly-ono workmen representatives
and the extension of tho ballot to the
fctnnll rent payers, merchants nnd tho
educated classes. However, the law
must still pass the council or the em
plro and receive Imperial approval.
If the decision Is upheld it Is apt to
end all question of the support of the
romstvolsts. The railroad men claim
thut they have been informed that
wevoral sections of tho southwestern
systems havo already responded to
tho appeal for a general strike. Cooler
heads, however, are advising against
precipitate action, which might result
in failure, and are urging a postpone
ment of action until the organizations
throughout tho country have been
consulted. It Is believed that if the
attempt at reaction is persisted In tho
moderate liberals, who are disgusted
with the taetlca of the revolutionists,
fearing anarchy, nnd aro Inclined to
support tho government, will surely
ho driven back Into tho camp of tho
extremists.
The situation is exceedingly omi
nous. Public opinion Is practically
unanimous that the government has
ontored upon tho fatal path of reac
tion, and that Wltte's ministry must
fall. Reaction and revolution con
iront each other In a death struggle.
Both General Trepoff and General
Count Iguatieff, according to the pop
ular Impression, nro being held in re
Borvo to execute tho program of re
pression. It is ngaln said that tho
entire Cossack strength of 400,000
will bo mobilized In a supreme effort
to crush tho revolutionary forces.
General Parseupoff said: "1 think
wo aro coming to rivers of blood. In
which tho revolutionary party will
loso their game nnd Russia her lib
erty." Certainly tho appearance of St.
Petersburg and the events here
Hcenicd to Justify this black picture of
tho future. The capital resembles a
greot mllltaiy camp. The patrols
everywhere wero doubled and grim
looking cannon rumbled through tho
streets. What happened smacked
(strangely of tho old regime. A largo
workmen's meeting was dispersed by
CoSbRCkti.
Tho scanty news reaching St.
Petersburg Ib all to one effect. Tho
last advices received from tho Baltic
provinces repoited tho desecration of
churches, the murder of landowners
nnd tho pillaging of properly. The
revolutionists aro growing in audacity.
The situation in Livonia Is fright
ful. Absolute anarchy prevails. A
messenger who arrived here declared
that the streets of Riga .were (lowing
with blood. Alter a meeting the rail
road men of Riga wero mowed down
by tho (Ire of machine guns and artil
lery. Tho extreme newspapers of St.
Petersburg aro openly defying tho
government by, publishing resolutions
favoring armed uprisings. Tho tor
pedo boat Philander Is anchored at
St. Nicholas' bridge.

was remarkably free from harrowing
Incidents. It had been feared that

bravely.

minutes and thirty seconds after tho
trap was sprung, she evidently Buf
feted no pain. Her neck was broken
at the second cervical vertebrae and
she lost consciousness instantly tho
drop fell. A few feeble convulsive
movements of her pinioned hands
were the only evidences that vitality
had survived the first shock. The
woman's feet barely touched the fioor
for an Instant, but tho deputies on tho
platform of the scaffold immediately
tightened tho rope nnd raised the un
conscious form a couple of Inches.
SENATOR MITCHELL IS DEAD.
Convicted Oregon Statesman Passes
Away at Hospital in Portland.
Portland, Ore., Dec. 9. United
States Senator John II. Mitchell died
at tho Good Samaritan hospital In
this city, death resulting from compli
cations which followed the removal of
four teeth at a dental ollice. A hem
orrhage of unusual severity followed
tho removal of Hie teeth and despite
the application of the most powerful
stytics known to dental science the
(low of blood could not be stayud.
Physicians wero summoned to the
dental office, but the combined scien
tific knowledge of the dentists and
physicians could not stop the (low or
blood. The senator's condition soon
became alarming nnd it was decided
to remove him to tho hospital. When
he renched the hospital ho was In a
very weakened condition and It be
came apparent that unless the How or
blood was soon stopped IlTo would
pass out.
Senator Mitchell nnd long been a
sufferer from diabetes and other vltl-1
atlng diseases and in his weakened i
condition rapidly succumbed to In- j
cvitnblo weakness following such vio-,
lent hemorrhages and lnpsed Into a
stato of semi-consciousness. Several ',
hours before death tho action of tho I
heart at times became almost Imper
ceptible and the breath came In short,
spasmodic gasps. As tho end ap
proached these symptoms became
more and more pronounced, death en
suing at 11:10 a. m.
Governor Chamberlain will appoint
a successor to Senator Mitchell with
in a week. It Is almost a certainty
that the new senator will be a Demo
