REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA.
Czar Aopoints Count Witte Minister-Premier
With Full Power.
Whlteman and Boothman Sentenced.
Five Mine Officials Killed Presi
dent Roosevelt at Sea Jerome Nom
inated by Republicans Increased
Franchise Valuations.
While tho Russian capital Ip out
wardly calm, developments in the
strikes all indicate that a crisis Is im
minent. Although the streets are
filled with troops and reinforcements
are now pouring in from Finland, the
government seems utterly powerless
to cope with the situation and many
calm observers seenf seriously to bo
lleve that the present regime la tot
tering to its full.
Differences have developed between
Count Witte and General Trepoff and
while tho precious moments puss the
emperor, surrounded by the imperial
family, remains shut up at Peterhof
seemingly still hesitating as to what
courso to pursue.
The government and 'h Liberals
aro at a loss to know whose Is the
contriving brain behind the great
strike. The directing hand Is Invis
ible, though Its workings are plainly
evident. It Is thought the strike may
have been directed from Switzerland
or Germany and executed here through
the Social Democratic organization, in
which representatives of the workmen
and the students are equally active.
The organization Is able to sway the
great student body through its student
members and everywhere today the
students were seen mingling with the
workmen and taking an active part In
their movement.
Czar Yields to Liberals.
The London Dally Telegraph's St.
Petersburg correspondent says:
"I am informed that the emperor hae
Just accepted the Liberal program, ap
pointed Count Witte premier and g'ven
legislative powers to the representa
tive assembly, allowing representatives
from all sections of tho population to
be elected to It and nbollsi'iti; martial
law throughout the empire. I nin
further Informed that the emperor
will issue a manifest j to the pcoplo
tomorrow."
Whiteman and Boothman Sentenced.
Alonzo J. Whiteman, leader of what
tho Pinkcrton detectives have designat
ed the Knox-Whlteman gang of forg
ers, pot practically the limit from Jus
tice Keneflck at Buffalo. The limit
tor tho offenso for which Whiteman
vas convicted, grand larceny In the
first degree, Is 10 years at hard labor.
Ho got eight years and flvo months.
Whlteman's accomplice, Joseph
Boothman, was then sentenced for
five years aud eight months.
The crime of which both Whiteman
and Roothman were convicted was the
swindling of the Fidelity Trust com
pany by depositing a raised draft and
drawing against this fictitious account.
Tho indictment charged them both
with the specific theft of $750. 'As a
matter of fact, they got about $5,000,
ant' -ere making a move to get the
ba' .oe of the deposit, $4,000, when the
forgery was detected. Whiteman was
ence tried and was acquitted. When
he next faced court a Juror was taken
pick and the trial had to be discon
tinued. The trials of Boothman and
Whiteman have cost the county In the
e cost the c
of $20,000.

Three Railroad Rate Bills.
Tho official call for the meeting ot
tho full senate committee on interstate
commerce on Nov. 21 was Issued
ot Washington by Chairman El
kins, and tho fact came out that Sen
ator Foraker's bill will not necessarily
embody the committee's views on rate
legislation.
Senator Elklns will have a bill and
will be backed up by an array of in
formation which experts have been
collecting for him during tho summer
since the close of the hearings.
A measure will also be proposed by
Senator Cullom, former chairman of
the committee and Joint author with
tho late John H. Reagan of Texas of
the Interstate commerce act, which he
says will reflect the president's views
on rate legislation.
It has been suggested that the Dem
ocrats may rally around a purely party
measure of their own, although there
Is a disposition among some of them
to act upon the advice given by Will
iam J. Bryan Just before his departure
for Japan and support the president's
uollcy.
Tho committee meetings will con
tinue until congress meets, and It was
nald that tho committee would hardly
be ready to report at that time.
Millions Lost In "Graft."
The. report of the board of investi
gating engineers appointed by Mayor
Weaver to examine tlio filtration sys
tem of Philadelphia and the north,
east and southern boulevards now un
der construction shows that up to date
the city has lost through excessive
costs, collusive bids. Illegal advortis
fng, and in other ways the sum of
$0,330,000.
Tin1 officials held responsible by the
report for some of tho conditions in
connection with the filtration system
are William C. Haddock, who was di
rector of public works under Mayor
Ashbrldge; Peter E. Costello, director
of public works under Mayor Weaver
until last May, when the mayor dis
missed him, and Jolui W. Hill, former
chief of the bureau of filtration, who is
awaiting trial on charges of fraud and
falsification ftf records in connection
with tho construction of the filtration
system.
Armed Maniac 'In Bank Vault.
At Chicago, 111., William Leduc, a
farmer, enraged over domestic af
fairs, on Saturday shot dead Mayor
Charles Nickel, his brother-in-law, In
the Bank of Chenoa; Bhot dead Hugh
Jones, a brick mason; wounded two
pedestrians, and dragging Jones' body
'.nto the bank vault, partly closed the
door and defied officers and citizens,
with whom ho exchanged scores of
shots'.
An armed crowd gathered In tho
bank to capture the slayer, but Leduc
within the vault with Jones' body
would allow no one to come within
range of his weapon. Leduc told ofll
eers that Jones was dead.
Ammonia and chloroform wero
used plentifully in an attempt to over
:ome Leduc, but the partly open door
admitted enough air to offset the ef
fect of the drugs.
Late at night Leduc surrendered to
the sheriff and the dead body of Jones
was removed to the morgue.
Reargument For Patrick Denied.
The court of appeals of New York
state has denied the motion for a re
r.rgument of the appeal of Albert T.
Patrick from conviction of murder In
the first degree and sentence of death
for tho killing In 1900 of William M.
Rice, an aged millionaire of New York
city. The motion now denied was
made Oct. 2 by former United States
Senator David B. Hill.
It is Impossible to forecast the fu
ture of this case, which Is recognized
ns perhaps the most remarkable in tho
criminal history of this state. Whether
the United States supreme court will
accept Jurisdiction by recognizing tho
presence In the case of any federal
question, or having accepted It, how l's
Judgment will affect the final disposi
tion of the convicted 'man, are ques
tions upon which learned lawyers, ex
press widely divergent opinions.
Five Mine Officials Killed.
Five minor officials of tho Pitts
burg and Westmoreland Coal company
gave up their lives Sunday when they
entered the Hazel Kirk mine No. 1 ot
the company at Hazel Kirk, Pa., 18
miles east of Pittsburg, to ascertain
If a portion of the mine was still burn
ing as a result of an explosion two
weeks ago.
As the five men approached the por
tion of the mine which was burning
they became aware that the water had
not extinguished the blaze, and de
cided to tear down the bulkhead
erected to confine the fire to one en
try of the mine.
Just as the covering was removed
there was a terrific explosion and the
hve men were blown different ways,
Dll being Instantly killed.
