BULLETS FOR THE MOB9. Ball Cartridges for Rioters Warning Posted in St.

Petereburjc. General Trepoff, who by imperial order was made the military dictator of St Petersburg, had posted a noti- fication the troops would be or- dered to use ball cartridges without any preliminary fir- los of blank car- tridges In case there should be any out- break. The i is spreading rapidly all over European Rus- GEN. sia, and in many cities Cossacks have fired into crowds of idle people, strikers are destroying property, business is at a standstill and martial law prevails. Little squads of soldiers are scattered along the streets and in the markets to preserve order.

Even detachments of the crack guard regiments, are doing patrol duty. Beneath the surface there was much excitement. The revolutionists spread the tidings that a revolution had begun and St Petersburg was filled with the wildest rumors. For example, a story was set afloat that a pro- visional government had been estab- lished. Warnings were issued that the gov- ernment would not permit revolution- ary meetings at the universities and tiigher schools under the guise of stu- dent assemblies, and Gen.

Trepoff dis- patched troops to surround the bulid- iigs. To add to the alarm the strikers suc- ceeded in stopping the machinery of the electric light plant and the city was plunged in darkness. Though the task of continuing the general strike more than a few days seemed utterly hopeless to the practi- cal minded, it is significant of the deep- rooted craving for liberty that the agi- tators have experienced little difficulty iu inducing all classes of workmen to join in the anti-government demonstra- tion. At a meeting of delegates from the professional unions, comprising doctors, druggists and lawyers, it was decided to strike until a constituent assembly is summoned. Street cars in St Petersburg ceased running Thurs- day and the employes of the bureau of ways and Communications and even the bank and office employes agreed to affiliate themselves with the striKQ movement.

The railroad tie-up throughout cen- tral, eastern, western and -northern Russia is complete and the strike is gradually extending southward. The railroad companies are not able to move a train in the strike-affected dis- tricts. In some places troops are mov- ing a few trains with extreme diffi- culty. Unless later developments bring to light proof that the constitution which the Czar has decided to grant Russia is virtually nullified by qualifying re- strictions not now apparent, its adop- tion must be considered a momentous step forward in the life of that nation. The Czar's action can only mean that absolutism is near its end, and that truly representative government is soon to take its place.

The question of constitutional forms has still to be settled, but as a basis for their gov- ernment the people are to have the guaranties of free speech, a free press, fredom of worship and equal rights. The further fact that Count Witta is to he made premier is an earnest that the new program will be-'carried through in good faith. With him as a guide the Czar will endeavor again to stem the rising tide of revolution. PRESIDENT IN PERIL. Roosevelt Narrowly "Escapes Dealli in a Midnight Sea Collision.

After a narrow escape from losing his life in a midnight collision, in which the Magnolia, on which he was traveling, was so much damaged that he had to abandon her, President Roosevelt was landed safely on board the cruiser West Virginia Friday, hav- ing been transferred from the Magnolia to the revenue cutter Ivy, which carried him to the cruiser West Virginia. Neither the President nor any member of his party was injured in the accident. The first news of the accident reached New Orleans by telephone at an early hour Friday morning, coming in the shape of an appeal for help from Capt. Rose of the United Fruit Company's steamer Esparta. which was the vessel that was in collision with the Magnolia.

Capt. Rose gave no details except that the boats had struck each other, that the Magnolia was ashore, but that the Pres- ident was unhurt. The message came from Nairn, near which point the accident occurred. Immediately upon the receipt of the news two powerful tugs left New Or- leans with orders to go at full speed to the scene of the accident. Meantime, however, the President's party had man- aged to get in communication with the lower part of the river, where it was known that the lighthouse tender Ivy was lying.

The Ivy immediately got un- der way and covered the forty miles in rapid time. President Roosevelt, Secre- tary Loeb and Surgeon Rixey with their baggage were at once transferred and the Ivy proceeded down the river to the West Virginia. When President Roosevelt boarded the cruiser and started on the homeward journey by sea he began a trip that took him off American soil for four days-- something that has never before happen- ed to an American President during his incumbency- P.y means of wireless teleg- raphy, however, the President was in almost constant touch with shore during the entire trip.

The President's forthcoming message Is a matter of concern to those intsr- ests that have reason to believe they will be dealt with. Among those wix show greatest concern are the railroad corporations of the country, because of the Presldent'3 known attitude toward rates and rebates. Already these cor- porations have begun to assemble a strong lobby.

Among other interested parties are the great trusts of the country whose concern extends Ia two directions: First, toward the Presi- dent's enforcement of existing law; and second, toward his possible recom- mendation of tariff revision. The pro- tected Interests, alarmed by the stand taken by the Massachusetts Republi- cans, fear that recommendations will be made which will bring up the whole tariff question. Then there are the In- Burance "companies, which fear some suggestion of Federal regulation, and control. Other interests may be cited as being extremely anxious regardlns the President's forthcoming message, but these are the more Important. One reason why all such interests are more anxious than they would other- wise be is because President Roosevelt This idea regarding the matters abova cited leads to the coacluswra that whatever recommendations are made in his forthcoming message win look to radical legislation; that is, radical in the estimation of those Interested.

On the other hand, the President's forthcoming message causes the very little concern, they having taken It for granted that existing evils will be properly dealt-with, and that the rights of the people will be upheld.
