THE BEE: OMAHA, 8ATT7KPAT, MARCH 17, TOT, GRAND DUKE WILL TAKECOMMAND General Who Was Relegated to Caucuses by Bectionaries ' Arrives at Petfograd. CAPITAL' IS NOW ORDERLY London, March 10. Grand Duke Nicholas is reported in a Reuter dis patch from Petrograd to have reached the Russian capital, probably to take command of the troops. The question of replacing officers who were disarmed by their own troops is one which must be de cided most promptly. In the mean while the provisional government is doing its utmost to straighten out the numerous tangles. The Duma and the ZemStvo council ire work ing hand in hand, although issuing separate proclamations. Despite the nonappearance ot newspapers, the public is better in formed of what is going on than ever before. For this purpose a special squadron of motor cars have been commandeered by the executive com mittee and these cars go about the city distributing printed bulletins tree to everybody. Thus the most authen tic news gams speedy circulation. Through this bulletin service presi dent Rodiianko has appealed earnest " ly to the people not to injure gov ernment buildings, telegraphs, the water supply equipment, factories, etc., and also to continue the public services and avoid bloodshed. In the meantime he is energetics ly tack ling the food problem and the public is confident that the combined efforts of the Duma and the Zemstvo will soon assure an adequate supply. Large stores of flour have been tin covered in various parts of the city. The factories have formed a police service for patroling the factory dis tricts, enrolling one out of every ten of their workmen. RAILROADS SEE MUTINY AMONG BROTHERHOODS (Ceatlaae (m T Om.) have to make. Meantime there will be no change in the situation." The national conference committee of railways announced that it was ri(tv tn rn-nnerate with the presi dent's mediation committee in efforts to prevent a strike. Several or tne managers were about to leave for , their headquarters in the west when news of the coming of the mediation mminiH, vial .received. The managers were informed that the engineers on the Santa Fe system had wired their grand chief they had withdrawn and would refuse to obey the strike order. . i The conductors and engineers on the St. Louis & Southwestern have .withdrawn, according to word reach ing the managers, and on the Illinois Central the firemen have announced their intention to withdraw. I dohV relieve it," said G. H. Sines, vice president of the Brother hood of Trainmen, when the man agers" reports of withdrawals were called to bis attention. "The last re ports we had from St, Louis and the railroads entering there showed the vote there for t strike was solid." Mr. Lee, When informe later of the reports, discredited them.- He insisted that all the men who took the strike vote would stand by it and strike. ' , ' ' The sixth floor of the Grand Cen tral terminal was being fitted up by the New York Central this afternoon with cots and other facilities for strike breakers and men who do not jo on strike. It was learned that other eastern roads were making sim ilar preparations. ' New York, March 16. Both sides in the threatened railroad strike con troversy expressed a willingness to day to hold further joint conferences, although the situation this morning was devoid of any suggestion that a compiomise would be reached which would avert a nation-wide transpor tation tieup. 1 ' ! Indications were unofficially that both the railroad managers and the brotherhood chiefs were marking time pending any possible action by President Wilson, and with each group prepared to respond to over tures from the other side. As one of the first steps to deal with the disorganization of trans nortation which will be caused by the railroad strike, the national con ference committee of railway man agers has informed the individual railroads that an embargo on all perishable freight is advisable. The one hundred general chairmen ot the eastern lines met Here today to arrange details for the strike. Appeal to Men to Stay. Plana to combat such a strike were completed by the railroads of the country last winter when the crisis was averted by the action of Presi dent Wilson and the passage of the Adamson law. Each road apparently will work out its individual methods. Indications today are that the mana gers hope a large percentage of theft men will refuse to obey a strike order and that a partial service will be maintained notwithstanding the ef forts of the brotherhoods. Appeals to employes to remain Loyal were issued last night by the Sew York Central and the Baltimore & Ohio roads which would be among the first affected by the walkout. One railroad authority said today that if the railroads could keep six trains in movement every day on their main lines they would break the strike. The roads expect to accomplish this and perhaps more by manning trains with pensioned employes, foremen, dis patchers and traffic and office men not members of the striking brother hoods. Thus far the railroads have announced no plans for recruiting strike breakers outside the service. The effect of the railroad situation was apparent here today in the rising prices of provisions. Hotels and res taurants and many individual consum ers are laying in large stocks of food in anticipation ot a tieup ot ireignt facilities. Reports from Kansas City and other points in the west that some of the employes were unwilling to obey a strike call were met by a statement by W. G. Lee, president of the Broth erhood of Railway Trainmen, that the leaders expected at least one in twelve to refuse to strike. "Don't forget history says our Saviour found one Judas among the twelve He selected, Mr. Let said. "We therefore do not hope to beat His record and we look for at least one in twelve. The only way to de termine whether our men are in earneat is to count noset Sunday and thereafter. "Don't forget that we left the en tire matter to President Wilson last August and agreed to abide by his proposal then. - The railroads refused to settle the question. I have since nubliclv oronosed to leave the entire controversy to President Wilson to say personally whether we should have the eight-hour day in freight and yard service without reduction of the present daily rates. 'The railroads seemingly prefer a strike rather than abide by President Wilson's suggested method of settle ment Who is disloyal to the gov ernment?

The anger of the people was such that the Russian revolution was al most the shortest and most bloodless in history. I he late government was com pletely isolated, which confirms the fact that no one had confidence in it. The great events of the last few days make it Dossible for the people to gain fresh confidence. These events will increase popular enthusiasm ana multiply the national forces, giving them at last power to win the war. Duma in Full Control. 'During a few days the Duma at tracted to itself the attention of the whole nation and was the center qf enormous moral force. Today it had material forces also at its disposal, seeing that the army had taken its side. Every hour brings news bear ing witness to the continual growth of power of the forces of the national representation. the new government considers u indispensable that the abdication of the emperor be confirmed and the re gency temporarily entrusted to Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch. Such is our decision. We consider it im possible to alter it. "According to the latest news, the emperor is at Pskov (162 miles south west of Petrograd). Contrary to cer tain rumors, his majesty has not been arrested.' The empress remains at Tsarskoeselo, where she is in perfect safety." Young Business Man of West Point is Dead West Point, Neb., March 14. (Spe cial Telegram.) Roy W. Hoist, a prominent young business man, died suddenly this morning at his home here.

He was 22 years of age, the second son of the late Fred Hoist, a pioneer mer chant of this city. He was married only six months ago to Miss Rose Delmont of Beemer. He is survived by his young wife, one brother and a sister.

Ex posure to smallpox prompted the vac cination .order by the health depart ment. of the people. It is due to Prof. Milukoff that revelations regarding the political intrigue and corruption of the old reactionary government were brought before the public New Cabinet Appointments. While the Duma and the working- men s committee agreed upon the cabinet, they still remained somewhat at odda regarding the form the new government shall assume. The work ingmen's deputies wished to leave this auestion undecided until after the holding ot a constitutional assemDiy, which will be charged with revising the present constitution, desiring to call this assembly without delay. The Duma group, fearing danger to the country, in the absence of a definite government, suggested abdication of the emperor and the regency ot urana Duke Michael. This will be the tem porary arrangement pending the deci sion of the constitutional assembly. ' The following additional cabinet appointments have been made: Minister ot trade commerce, A. i. Konovaloff. . Procurator general of the holy syod, M. Lvoff. Prince Lvoff, the new premier, is president of the central committee of all Russian Zemstvo unions. Will Make Russia Real Power. "The sroblenis which we are going to solve consist of the re-establishment in Russia of a power capable of giving the people final victory over the enemy," said Prof. Paul Milukoff, the new foreign minister and one ot the most prominent liberal leaders of Russia, in a statement today to tne Associated Press. "The great crime of the late gov ernment consisted of throwing the country into complete disorganisa tion and subjecting it to the hardest trials.
