rf '4 CP 4 jjSi mk ah Uil .1 New York. Nov. 18. Senator Chauncey M. Depew and Gage E.

Tar bell, the Equitable's second vice president, were the chief witnesses be fore the Armstrong insurance committee yesterday Senator Dopew was on the stand only fifteen minutes, but it was a bad quarter of an hour for him. He was recalled to explain certain letters which had eome Into the committee's possession since his appearance as a witness on Thursday. The Senator did not know what the commitee wanted of. him and his anxiety as he stepped up to the witness thair was apparent. His uneasiness became more marked when Mr.

Hughes, counsel to the committee, an nounccd that the committee had cer The man, he added, was not connected with the New York Legislature or with New York politics. The Senator thought he was an Insurance man. Mr. Hughes called Senator Depew's attention to the fact that the Equitable had for a number of years been paying Mr, Nichols an anuual retainer of $1,000. Samuel S.

McCudry, assistant registrar of the society, had testified that ho knew of no legal services which Mr. Nichols had performed. Senator Depew recalled only that he had been retained from time to time.

PENROSE ON THE REFORMS. Of the Opinion That All Those Outlined By Governor Penny packer Will Be Passed. AS TO THE APPORTIONMENT. Philadelphia, Nov. 18.

United States Senator Boies Penrose, who has ju.st returned from his Southern hunting trip, in an interview yesterday said: "In my opinion, every reform measure recommended by the Governor in his call for the special session will be enacted by the Legislature. The Republican State organization will lend its aid to this end und will most likely introduce bills covering all the subjects enumerated by Governor Penny packer in his call. The people of the state have demanded these reforms in a way there is no mistaking and. in my judgment, the time has come when they should get them. There may be some difference of opinion as to the wisdom cf these measures, but these can all be adjusted and embodied In the bills that will finally be passed by the Legislature." AS TO REAPPORTIONMENT.

In reply to questions as to his views on the reapportionment. Senator Penrose said: "An attempt has been made In cer ('oiitiniii'il on Page. II. MERIWETHER IS TO BE TRIED. Annapolis.

Nov. IS. Charges connected with the fight In which Midshipman James R. UraiicU received fatal Injuries from Midshipman Minor Meriwether, were served on the latter today by Commander Adolph T. M.uix, Judge advocate of the court martial which will assemble at the Naval Academy on Wednesday next to try the case.

Lieutenant, Oslon P. Jackson, sou of E. S. Jackson, of this city, has been appointed as a member of the court that will try Meriwether. MUCH OPPOSITION TO THIS MOVE.

There Was an Effort to Make the Tie up More General But it Was Defeated. St. Petersburg, Nov. IS. Conditions are improving in the city today, and it is hoped that the worst is over.

The strike which has threatened to lead to unlimited troubles for the government Is being brought to a close today, as predicted. The decision to call oft the strike was reached at a mas3 meeting of workmen held this morning. The resumption of work will not be for good, however, as the meeting resolved to put in operation a system of spasmodic strikes, by which they propose to stop, all work in the city at frequent Intervals until the government yields to the demands of the working classes. At one meeting of workmen, held today, a speaker worked up the large) crowd to a point of frenzy by calling down on the officials curses of every description, while solemnly making the sign of the cross as he spoke. He urged his hearers not to rely on the Czar, who, he declared, is praictically a prisoner in his palace.

A FURTHER TIE UP. Despite the determination reached at the meetings of workmen to call off the strike, some efforts were made today by a few of the strikers to make the tie up more general. Delegations of strikers visited the banks and larger business houses, calling on the clerks to engage in a strike to be maintained for three days. The agitators met with little success.however, in this attempt, as few of the clerks were willing to join the movement. Many of the delegates selected by the strikers to call on the clerks were arrested.

The prefect of police has published an appeal to the well disposed classes, warning them that the strike leaders intend to take aggressive action, and asking them to co operate the police against the agitators "who are making life unbearable." WANTED TO MASSACRE. A number of roughs tried to start an anti Jew massacre early this morning. A crowd of them, armed with axes, gathered in Sannaya Square at 1:30 o'clock and shouted, "Down with the Jews," "Death to all Jews," and the police hastily left the square fearing assassination. Word was sent to military patrol which soon arrived and dispersed the roughs. St.

Petersburg was enveloped In a dense fog during last night and the rough element took advantage of the conditions to murder several persons. A number of shons on back streets were pillaged. The Imperial ukase on the land question although it wipes out about $40,000,000 of the peasants' arrear ages of debt which under ordinary circumstances might have been received with joy is another disappointment, The nrotnises of additional lands are too vague to calam the agitated, starv ing peasants who in the valleys of the Don and olga are again marching, pillaging, burning and murdering. Although the markets were firmer to day. financial circles are much disturbed.

A sign of the times was an unprecedented run on the savings banks to day. Some of them were unable to meet the demand Immediately. GOA'EROR IN CHARGE. Helsingfors, Finland. Nov.

IS. Baron Salsa, commander of the Russian troops In Finland, who was last night appointed temporary gocernor general by the Czar, replacing Prince Oholenski. assumed the duties of the office to day. The students here have telegraphed the Union of Unions in St. Petersburg as follows: "We are grateful for your helf In gaining our rights.

Count upon us for a future light for a free Russia." TO INVESTIGATE CAUSE OF DEATH. Boston. Nov. IS. Medical Examiner West has been ordered to Investigate the death of Mrs.

Hose Crawford, the adopted daughter of Mrs. Dr. Janes Bishop and the wife of Louis W. Crawford, who Is held in bonds for his complicity in the death of Susan Geary, the suit case victim. Mrs.

Crawford died yesterday morning. She had been confined to her hed for several months. It was known that the woman had undergone an operation and since Crawford's arrest it lias been intimated that his wife had undergone a criminal operation. INTO AN ENGINE.

New Haven, Nov. 18. Eleven sturdy gridiron warriors of Old Kit tumbled out of bed this morning, trained to the minute and anxious as the symbolical Yale bulldog to meet the eleven equally fit which arrived in the city by special train this morning to represent the Princeton Tiger. "I'm not saying a word," said Captain Tom Shevlin, of the Yale team, BEST MEN. 4 Tt At STPRBES, TACKLII.

early this morning. "We've had some hard luck In the way of injuries, but think we are now in as good condition as anyone could wish, and If we do not win it is because Princeton has sent up a better team than we have." In the opinion of many and nearly all the Yale adherents, Yale has all the advantage in the contest. This is the result of the early season showing of the Elis. Figured on this basis, Yale supporters think that Yale ought to defeat the Tigers by a double figure score. But as Princeton has always proved surprise to the Blue on the gridiron, there will not be too much shouting from the Yale stands until the game is won beyond a doubt.

Special trains began pouring the crowds into the city from 10 o'clock this morning. came last night to avoid the rush.

4 1 GLOBE WAREHOUSE. Special to The Truth irom Staff Correspondent. Field, New Haven, Nov. l. rA" national figure for the day and placed In the very center of the stage of the world's theatre of athletics, James L.

Cooney, of Scranton, captain of the Princeton foot ball team, is here today with his eleven prepared to meet Yale's brawny men in annual Toot ball contest. Cooney with his characteristic calm serenity is making no boasts of the superiority of his team ver Yale, because he has labored throughout the season against overwhelming odds; neither is he foolish enough to yield to Eli's hair pullers until the battle Is fought to the finish. This is easily the biggest national foot bail game of the season, and not only are the eyes of this country and especially Scranton, Pa. fixed upon Cooney and his men, but there is a lively interest manifested in the game abroad as any event of big moment is bound to attract if for nothing else than in the work at hand. Captain Cooney, who was disabled two weeks ago, has fully recovered TWO OF YALE'S from his Injuries, and he is about as nearly perfect physically as it is possible to get.

The characterization applies to his men. A large delegation of enthusiasts are from to witness the fray and they are confident that Cooney's cool nerve and superior direction will lead his men to victory, or at least an honorable bat tie with a mighty foe. Speaking with a Truth reporter just before the game commented, Captain Cooney said: "I feel confident that If victory Is possible at all against such odds, we will be able to accomplish It. I feel In fine condition myself, and the other members of the Princeton eleven are equally as tit and eager for the battle. It gives me great pleasure to have the honor to represent not only Princeton, but Scrnaton as well, in an event of national magnitude.

The bettings is in favor of Yale at 'odds of to 1. Besides Captain Coo LIST CUT DOWN TO SEVENTY NINE. New York, Nov. IS. New York's "four hundred" has passed out of existence with the birth of an ultra exclusive set which society today called the "seventy nine." Mrs.

Yesterday a "pusher" engine got In its way on a sharp curve In North Carbondale. The "pusher" could not move across a switch because anothil engine occupied the frog.

Kidney Disease uiiso Half the Com iiioii Aches untl IIIh of KciHiitoii People, As one weak link weakens a chain, so weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final breaking down. Overwork, strain, colds and other causes Injure the kidneys, und when their activity Is lessened the whole body suffers from the excess of uric poison circulated in the blood. Aches aud pains und languor and urinary ills come, and there is an cver increaslng tendency towards diabetes and fatal Brlght's disease. There is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help. Diwin's Kidney pills act directly on the kidneys and cure every kidney III.

Scranton cures are the proof. Mrs. S. S. Pawling, of 429 North Main street, says: "Mr.

Pawling used several boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills In the winter, of 1HU6, und was so well pleased with the result that he gave a testimonial freely, endorsing the remedy. Before that lime he had suffered a great deal from lame and aching hack. If he caught cold it always made the pain worse and he grew so bud that he hud to slop working. After many other remedies had failed he got Doan's Kidney Pills, they helped him from the first und he grew better day after day until finally the buckache disappeared entirely. Since then Mr.

Pawling has found Doan's Kidney Pills never fa'l to ward off similar attacks." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. KoHtcr Mliburn Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
