A minis terial council was held at Czarskoe-Selo. the imperial residence near St. Petersburg, yesterday, Tnder the presidency of the Czar, to discuss the riots, the continuation of which tomorrow is anticipated. The delegates of the students, at a meet ing yesterday, withdrew their previous in vitation to assemble tomorrow. This tep was taken in order to prevent the police from arresting those who have taken an active part in the agitation for the stu dents' liberties and university reforms and drafting them Into the army.

In spite of this it is feared that the working men will asesmble, as strikes are threatening to break out tonight. Several Iareef orces of troons. aceoutered for active service, marched through the streets today, nresumablv towards the sub urbs, to check the workmen of certain fac tories who have been warned aeainst en tering the city Sunday under the penalty of losing their positions.

J. W. the well-known traveler, recalls a conversation with Prince Krapotklne on Russia, in which the latter, who is probably the best informed man in Europe on the movements and purposes of the Nihilists, said: 'Revolution is long overdue in Russia- Nicholas II is a weak young man, totally unfitted in physique and mind for the difficulties of a situation which would tax the highest execu tive genius to the utmost. He has the stature, the mental, moral and emotional characteristics of his mother, whose devotion has still further weakened him and given him a false policy, which will only- more quickly precipitate the lnevltaoie. iie Is one of those puny sentimentalists wno believe in holding out an olive brancn to a mad dog.

"Nevertheless, when he ascended the throne In 1XSH much was hoped for. and the social democratic propaganda, the universal demand for a constitution, and the' protection of a habeas corpus act was temporarily suspended in the hope that many reforms, privately and publicly promised, would be granted bv him as rapidly as the conditions permitted. It soon became Apparent, however, that he was merely a figurehead; that he had not the physical force to make any impression whatever upon the tyrannical bureaucracy, the conservative group headed bv his uncle, the Grand Duke Michael, the old Russian party wno practically understood the social situation that he was sentimentalizing over and hi) knew that It was a fight to the death. Mr. Dam says that the present situation is fully known to all the Russian exiles.

The nihilist position has risen from one of secret meeting and whispered terrors to one of almost open defiance of the law In all the great centers. They have been warned of Impending raids and notified of wholesale edicts of arrest. The Robotnllt. the leading nihilist Journal at Warsaw, has been published weekly for years past with a regularity that almost claims value as. an advertising medium, and Boutrzeff boasted in Ixn-don In the same way as to his own paper, th Namdnva Voletz.

"Krapotklne alwnva declared." says Mr. Dam. "that the social democratic movement In Russia bv the end of 1 would embrace a iHitentlal majority of the nobility, army anil navy, the intellectual and the skilled labor cla In Russia. His correspondence, so much ss could be shown, went tar toward proving this.

OTHERS WILL DO SO LATER LIBRARIAN CRUNDEN INTERESTS THEM BY AN APPEAL. Various Improvement Associations Are Making Efforts to Procure Acceptable Branch Sites for Donation to Library Board.

Two hundred ministers, renresentlno- nil denominations, were requested by Librarian jm. crunden to present the issue of the Increased apportionment for library purposes to their congregations Sunday. aiany complied with the request, while others have notified Mr. Crunden that they will do so next Sunday, as they desire time in which to prepare special sermons on the subject. The ministers enthusiastically favor the acceptance of the condition unon which Andrew Carnegie's gift was made.

A letter received by Mr. Crunden Monday from Father J. J. Harty of St. Leo's Church states that he will not only present the subject rrom his pulpit, but do hjs best to reach the voters of the parish through the men's societies.

In his letters to the ministers of the city Mr. Crunden aid: "To obtain and utilize this gift of Mr. Carnegie is to bestow incalculable benefits upon the children -of the present day and of unborn generations: to lose It through failure to fulfill Its reasonable conditions would be to make St. Louis a target for ridicule and scorn all over the country. I trust you will use your utmost endeavors both as a citizen and clergyman, to Insure a favorable vote." The various sections of the city are al ready hard at work to secure the branch libraries.

In addition to the site at Hebert street and Garrison avenue, offered by the Lindell Real Estate Company, the residents of Cabanne and the Tenth Ward Improve ment Association have. taken steps to secure sites, which will be offered to the board. Julius Pitzman has suggested that the police station In Reservoir Park, which Is soon to be vacated, be replaced by a branch library.

"Have some of this mineral water, Mrs. Nation," he said. "It is Just fine and it's nothing but mineral, water." Mrs. Nation looked -donbtful. She eyed Ihe big 1 ottle'and sniffed the air.

"Well, I don't know. I don't believe 1 want any." "Oh, yes you do," urged the man. "It's fine. It'll do you good." "All right, then. Where's a glass?" One was produced and fitted.

Mrs. Nation drank it all. expressed her thanks and started for the main waiting room to look after her satchels. She found them ana with one in each hand trotted in to the midway. At the door a man with a big cigar in his mouth confronted her and asked to be allowed to carry the baggage.

Mrs. Nation eyed the cigar and scowled. that dirtv thing!" she exclaimed, "lake it cut of your mouth." She started to raise one hand, forgetting about the baggage. She hesitated a minute as if about to drop a satchel and grab the cigar. Then she remembered that she was In a hurry and rushed off to the check room.

From there, with the small boys about her. she went to the saloon. Mrs. Nation left the saloon. pushed through the crowd and walked rapidly up Market street to catch her train.

She'was smiling her broadest. The crowd of men and boys followed. Persons coming down town beheld and wondered. Those close tnough to see hr features said: "It's Carrie Nation!" The crusader pushed straight ahead. It was a case of clear the way for Carrie, and those who stopped on the sidewalk to gaze at the Kansas celebrity were in danger of being knocked into the gutter.

At Kighteenth street a street car blocked her progress. At first Mrs. Nation seemed bent on walking right through the car. but on second thought she walked around It. On the sidewalk on the northwest cor ner of Union Station she paused, undecided as to the wav to go in order to reach her baggage, which she had left at the check stand- She Didn't Like the Kan's Cigar.

A newspaper man piloted her Into the station and she paid 20 cents' charges on her two valises, a large and a small one, and thin commanded: "Now, take me to my train, quick!" Followed by men and women who were awaiting trains, Mrs. Nation walked past the bufl'n where many bottles of liquor were on view. Waving her hand toward the bottles, she said: "Now. that's a shame, have such things here? Why do they It's the devil's work they do." In the midway Mrs. Nation throng of followers increased greatly.

Many young men am! bovs pressed forward, calling for Heme Defender" buttons. The crusader was oulek to respond. She Is particularly fond of distributing her buttons. Running her hand Into a deep pocket in her black skirt she pulled out a handful of the emblem's and gave them to the scrambling tbroitrrh the gate Mrs. Nation was requested to show her ticket.

She did fo And then made for the train. Two men. who were carrying her valises, fell behind, and the crusader stopped at the coach platform and told them to hurry up. Entering the coach Mrs. Nation selected a ff.it.

but the conductor calied for her to go farther back, where he turned two seats together and Installed her as his guest of honor. "Now. I'd like to have a button for my wife." said the conductor, and Mrs. Nation enve' him on. Traveling men In the car re-reived similar souvenirs.

A number of ladies, who were passengers In the samo conch, regarded the Katisas woman with curious Kze. "Somebody send a telegram to my manager In Cincinnati. Mr. M. C.

Morse." said Mm. Nation, "and make him pay for it. Tell him when I will arrive there. "Tomorrow night I lecture at IexIngton, only 1- miles from my old home. I am to deliver dx lectures on this trip.

"Would- I here smashed If I had had my hatchet? .,8 i had Berne vul gar picturt Then I woja have smashed t' "If I could vote I wouldn't smash." This was the remark of Mrs. Carrie Nation of Kansas, made between the taking of two large mouthfuls of ham sandwich In the second-class lunchroom at Union Station Monday morning. Mrs. Nation was in Louis just one hour. She came from Leavenworth at 7:20 o'clock krrd left fit o'clock for-Cincinnati and Lexington.

Ky. In that hour she visited Joseph Sauerburger's Nation saloon on Market street, east of Union Station, lectured the crowd there and the bartender, talked pleasantly to the crowds at Union Station, ate a big lunch, shook hands with scores of small boys, distributed "Home Defender" buttons everywhere, anii scowled ominously at every streak of tobacco smoke she yaw. "Well, well, I haven't much time," she kept saying. Her movements about Union Station could not be called a walk. She trotted.

The crowd that tried to keep up was forced to run. Somebody told her the proprietor of the Nation saloon had threatened dire vengeance if she ever entered his place. "I'd just like to see that man," she exclaimed, and her eyes gleamed with the hatchet fire. "Who'll show me where he Is?" The crowd melted like snow In the springtime. Nobody volunteered.

Mrs. Nation went trotting off to find a policeman. She found two or three. "Where is the -Nation saloon?" she asked. "Take me there.

1 won't smash. I just want to see the. man that said he was laying for me if I ever came to St. Louis." The policemen smiled, tipped their hats, bowed obsequiously and blushed. They didn't volunteer to act as escorts.

"Well." said Mrs. Nation, "I want to go, but I must tend to my satchels first. i haven't got long and I must put them where I can get them quick." She checked them in the main lunch room and, gathering a score of small boys about her. started for the saloon. The crowd followed down Market street at a run.

Crowd Followed to the Saloon. Mrs. Nation walked in at the front door, the boys still following. S.iuerburger was behind the bar. A crowd filled the doors and the street in front.

They yelled and cheered her on. "Who are you?" said Rauerfourger his eyes popping and a determined expression coming over his face. "I'm Carrie Nation." was the reply. "Well, you'd better get out of "If you want me to get out, put me'out Mrs. Nation gathered her long, black veil closer about her head and stood still "What are you doing here?
