ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. tl.-Th pres ent lull Is giving the government a slight breathing spell The strike fiasco and tho passing of the Tollsh crisis have certainly temporarily strengthened the hands of the government. The Immediate question con-f-onttng the cabinet Is the electoral law. .Premier Wltte and his colleagues have al most reached the conclusion to base the elections practically upon universal suf frage. A member of the cabinet said today: The extreme wing of the Intelligent liberals still Insists on fighting a windmill, when they express fears of a return to the old regime. That has passed forever. Nevertheless, the country must be saved from anarchy and strong measures like those must be taken where the occasion arises. Nevertheless, we must discount future developments and. where we believe It wise, go alow. We may bo forced to take a radical step such as the choice be tween evils. It is already certain that the douma as- at present constituted and elected will be a failure. It will arouse much popular resentment and might be unable to deliberate unless surrounded by troops. If ths douma Is to undertake to transform Itself Into a constituent assem bly or elaborate a constitution. It Is better that It should present the true voice of the nation than the minority of the people. Attitude Toward Jews. Speaking of the Jewish question, the member of the cabinet said: For the cabinet there exists no Jewish question. It is not what should be done, but how to do It- We are absolutely of one mind that all the restrictions on Jews should be abolished, but for the govern ment to decree equality without action on the part of the douma would be full of danger. The prejudice against the Jews among the Ignorant classes of Russia Is not fancied. It Is deplorable, but true, that people under the old regime were saturated with the Idea .that the Jews were their oppressors. If the Jews were In anted equal rights with Russians the alter would accept it as confirmation of the suspicions they already harbor on ac count of the recent developments that the emperor haa been betrayed and nothing the central government could do would prevent the most frightful massacres. t i 1 . ai.a1am I m. nnlnlAfl Is tho gravest phase of the situation. The iieaanntji throughout the country are pos sessed of only one Idea more land, and the uprising which Is occurring In the famine stricken provinces is capable of in definite extension by the revolutionary giluu)r Yrho shltuk afnothlhg Count Wltte la extremely anxious to se cure a vote of confldonce from the Moscow congress, for lt general effect In rallying the moderate sentiment to his support, but the dispatches from Moscow Indicate that the radicals rre determined to force a split and there are Indications that Count Wltte will be unable to command a majority. Workmen Coerce Prlntera. ' Tho Novoe Vremya was the victim of a remarkable holdup by social revolutionists last night. Throe editors of the "Work men's Gazette, the official organ of the worklngmec's council, entered the com posing rooms of the Novoe Vremya with revolvers In their hands and compelled the compositors to set up their paper, making prlsonerr of such persons who entered the room. Later, descending to the press room, th visitors compelled the pressmen to run off Sfl.OHI copies I of th Workmen's Oasett. M. Souvortn, editor of th Novo Vremya, In an. editorial on the subject says sarcastically: "If men can with Impunity raid a news paper rn the heart of St. Petersburg to day, tomorrow they may make a prisoner of Count Witt." An afternoon paper quotes a man who has just arrived tn St. Petersburg as say ing that 10.000 Don Cossacks are marching from Tashkand to 8t. Petersburg with the object of releasing the emperor, whom they belltve to be a captive In the hands nf th Jews. Mawapavpera Condemn Radicals. Th newsjaper of thin city appeared today for the first time In over a week. Ther Is a significant change of tone on the part of koine of the radical organ against the dictatorial attitude of the social democrat. The Huns kvudly denies that the Victory of the imperial reform mani festo belongs solely to the workmen de claring that Uio proletariat was strong thpn because It Oulceil the sentiment of tin- nation. "The leaders of the pruktai lut." says the ! Run, "must understand that tiny cannot and must not become dictatorial. The pre cious strength of the nation exhausted by m long struggle mum not be wasted." Klaht-Hour Hove Mill On. Despite the decision arrived at by the council of workmen on the morning of November i not to uiicnipl the introduc tion of a movement for an eight-hour day, the qucstlou of shorter hours is taking a critical turn and threatens lo produce nit industrial crisis. At the Huhbuid, Pa hi. Westlnghouse aud other important works the men insist on a reduction of hours and have adopted a. course of drop lung their tools after they have labored eight hour.

In which case private capital will be used. Th IJttle Buffalo basin Is about six miles long- and four wide. It Is a natural reservoir, with two huge piles of rock forming part of ft net lira 1 dam at Ita lower extremity. A dam less than ZV) feet Ion at Its extreme hlght would Impound suf ficient water for 20fl.ono acres. It Is clnlmed. A preliminary survey shows an easy grade, for a supply canal from Wood rlvrr to the head of PaffaJo creek, a distance of about six miles. It la estimated this dam and canal can he constructed t one-half the cost of any similar proposition In this state. Congressman T. W.

The several large private Irrigation pro jects In this county have proven splendid Investments, In most cases th land being old at $30 an acre before the water was ready for use. Much of this land has been already sold and the demand Is still heavy. STEAL FROM FREIGHT CARS St. Joseph Police Arrest Seven Men and Recover f 3,On Worth .of stolen Merchandise. BT JOSEPH.

Mr. Nichols, had written Senator Depew a letter referring to an individual In tho iiIhivc ti rtns and thla letter was read at the session of the committee Friday when Senator Ivpew was on the stand. Th senator was unable to recall who was meant by the "rantankerous frlemi." but today Mr. Nlchola disclosed a series of payments to W. H. Manning of Alhany, a former actuary who had been connected with the Investigation of Insurance com panies in 1KT7. Mr. Hughes Inquired as to a report that Manning had been in pos session of the Information that was sup pressed during this Investigation and that would have ben detrimental to the Equit able. Mr. Nichols could not recall tho suppression of information, but he detailed the payment of sums of money over a considerable period to Manning as an In ducement to give up his business as actu ary In which capacity ho lielloved Manning was a menace to the Equitable Life. Mr. Nichols said he wns paid a retainer from the Mutual and the New York Life for the same duties, that of "taking care of Man ning," as Mr. Uughes characterized It. Ha added that the payments by the Equltah'n for Manning were made to Nichols on vouchers bearing falao names. wh)ch Mr. Nichols paid was dono to protect Manning. Plntt on Contributions.

McCurdy of tho Mutual Life for a contribution when the needs were great. He, however, had never been asked to use his Influence on .any measure before the legislature nor had lie ever don so. He knew nothing about contribution, to tho national campaign. Tarbell on Commissions. Gage R Tarbell was also a witness again today. His testimony Friday was Inter rupted by the adjournment and today ho continued his explanation of the agency system of which he had charge and tho manner of arriving at the commissions. He detailed a history of the agoncles of Insurance companies and his own efforts lo reduce the cost of getting business. During his testimony Mr. Tarbell made a very extensive explanation of the good that the Insurance companies have dono and tho difficulties under which the work Is carried on. One part of his testimony caused much amusement to the committee as well is the spectators when ho described a fight with the New York Life over the taking of agents. In this statement Mr, Tarbell told how he had won over a general agent and 200 subagents of tho New York Life In this city without tho cost to the Equit able of so much us one dollar. Th only Inducement offered was that the agents could make more on a commission basis than on the salary of the New York Life. Mr. Tarbell detailed this deal with the agrnt in its various steps and said he closed thn deal on a Sunday. Ho thought It was a good Job and was done on a good day. ' Mr. Tarbell' testimony was Interrupted again during the ofternuon session and As semblyman James K. Apgar of Westchester was culled. His card with the inscription "Mr. Hyde Kays to iay htm" was attached to a voucher for $1.0tiy, which the Equitable paid Thomas L. Hunted, and the vouohcr bore llusted's endorsement. Mr. Apgar knew nothing about tho money nor did he know how I, is card cumi, to be used for such a purpose, nor hud he ever heard of any money being paid by the Equitable or any one else. Ho knew Fields, but never knew of his receiving money for political purposes. Fields was politically active In Westciiesii r, where ho also lived, Mr. Ap gar suld, and generally elected any one ha net out to tlict. Mr. Apgar had talked with Fields at Alhuuy whllo a member of the Insurance commute, but ln;ver on any mat ters In the. legislature to which Fields was ' ppHscd. He had also called on Field socially In the house maintained by Fields. Mr. Apgar said his relations wore, norm -what slruined with Thomas II. H listed and as he Is (read he usked to be excused from entering into an extensive t xplauatlon of the matter. It was explained today that the deposition of Georse H Squire, the former financial manager of the Equitable, would b read for the record, but Mr. Hughes explained that the suhcoiniiiitleu had not completed the examination of Mr. Squire, because it had to he taken In parts, Mr. Squir br ing too fefb'.e to stand any lengthy con versation.
