CZAR'S SOLDIERS MUTINY IN JAPAN
Halt of Viadivostok Reported Dee
sireyed by Fire-Six HMandred of
Garrison Killed — Japanese
New Rule Korea.
St. PETERSBURG, Nov. 2 —After
the severe reverse which they suffered
early yestenlay worming when at the
end of a seven hour debate the councll
of .workmenu decided to nbandon the
industrial strike the leadess of the ex
tremist Socialist factions of the St
Petersburg workmen are engaged In &
hard and apparently losing fight in de-
feuse of a resolution for an eight hour
day which was the slogan of last
week's strike, but which was gban
doned gt the last moment in favor of
an appeal for the lives of the mutineers
at Cronstadt and the liberty of Po
land.
When the council convencd last night
a Socialist representative lutroduced
an amendment to the resolution calling
off the strike providing that the wen
Hn returning to work should hereafter
labor ouly eight hours, laying down
thelr tools at 4 o'clock In thie afternoon
Instead of 6 o'clock, while insisting on
the same rate of pay
Encouraged by their earlier vietggy,
the conservative leaders at once opaued
2 vigorous opposition to the resolution,
polating out that in view of the deter
mination of the employers to regard
any attempt to obtain shorter hours by
revolutionary means ax the signal for
a lockout of the great mass of the
workgen of St. Petersburg they were
In no position to enter on a prolonged
combat of endurance at the very outset
of a long, cold winter
A number of orators even questioned
the wisdom of an eight hour day it-
self, declaring that Russia at present
was not ripe for it, while others who
are in sympathy with the movement for
a shorter day declared that §t wonid
uot be wise to fritter away thelr
strength at this time when a great de
cisive combat In January was immi
nent. The decision seemed largely to
hinge on fhe question as to whether
the owners woukl stand to their guns
and shut down rather than reduce the
number of hours.
Five bundred Russian soldiers who
were taken prisoners by the Japanese
during the lgfe war and who were at
Nagasaki bound for Vladivostok on
board thé Russian volunteer fleet
steamers Vladimir and Borouejl hav.
ing shown sigus of mutiny, the Rus-
sian officers applied to the Japanese
govermunent for troops, and a police of-
ficer and 100 constables boarded the
Boronejl. Four Japanese torpsto boat
destroyers have surroanded the two
vessels, Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
is on board the Boronej!
An eyewiluess of the recent riot at
Viadivostok reports that nearly Lalf
the city was bummed, that GO of the
garrison were killed, that the jall was
thrown open and that General "Kap.
pek Is missing. The damage Is esti
mated at $25.000000, Soldiers from
Harbio are reported to Lave jolued the
rioters.
The Japanese are jubllant over the
successful completion of the new con-
vention with Korea, whereby Japan's
suzerainty is formally and firmly es-
tablished over the Hermit Kingdom.
The speedy success of the negotiations
is attributed to the confidence that
Marquis Ito has inspired in the em-
peror of Korea snd his ministers.
Henceforth all the foreign relations
of Korea will be managed at Tokyo.
The fallure of the strike has shown
the country as a whole how little sym-
pathy there Is with Poland In her de
mand for complete autonomy. At
Moscow the raliroad men refused to
strike on the ground that they did not
sympathize with the Poles in thelr
struggle. It seems that in that heart
of Russia the people remember only
too well the endless wars with the
Poles and cannot forget that the white
eagle of Poland once waved from the
pinnacles of the Kremlin, so sacred to
Moscow. The possibility of the re
vival of the ancient kingdom of Po-
land is therefore viewed with dis-
pleasure, while the puan-Slavists and
even the Liberals are afrald of the
specter of a possible dismemberment
of the empire,
A Protest From lialy.

FATAL FIRE AT GLASGOW.
Thirty-nine Dead Tuken From
Scotch Lodging Heuse.
GLASGOW, Nov. 20.—-The most ter
rible fire that has occurred in Great
Britain for many years broke gut here
in" cheap lodging house for men in
Watson street and resulted in the loss
of thirty-nine lives and the severe In
Jury of many others.
The flames were first notieed ou the
fourth floor of the building, which was
octupled by 330 wen. An alann was
ralsed, and the firemen were speedily
lu attendance, but flames and smoke
were then Issuing from most of the
windows on the fourth floor. Au ex
truordlnary scene was created by a
procession of almost naked men lIssu
Ing from the door of the building, and
against their frantic efforts to escape
the firemen had actually to fight for
admission
Reaching the upper ficors, the fire
men found that the narrow passages
were becoming congested with men
who dropped to the floor overcome Ly
smoke
Fortunately the fire was confined to
the fourth toor, and as soon as the fire
wen were able to get to work (t was
speedily extinguished. The flames bad
been fed Ly the wooden partitions of
the cubicles, which threw off volumes
of swoke, resulting lo the suffocation
of the iumates. Many on being
brought to the street rallied in a few
minutes, but others had to be taken to
the hospitals,
The dead were mostly workmen in
the prime of life. They presented a
Lorrible spectacle, their blackened
faces bearing evidence of terrible
struggles to escape.
Many meu were sleeping in the attic
floor above the burning fourth floor,
and these hud narrow escapes. The
ames burst through the floor, and it
was impossible for the meu to de-
ascend. The windows were securely
fastened, and the men had to break
them so that they could elimb through
to neighboring roofs.
On a search of the building belug
made and a complete list of the vic
tims obtaloed it turned out that thir
ty-nine were dead and thirty-two in-
Jured. ’
It appears to Le the custom of these
lodgers to sleep in a nude condition.
and the march of the survivors to the
police station was a fantastic one
Some bad soatched the covers of the
beds and others thelr trousers, while
many were completely naked. The lo
cal authorities had ta be called upon
to supply the men with clothing and
warn meals. Owing to their migra
tory habits and the absence of perma-
nent homes many of the dead will ney-
er be Identified. Thé identification of
others Is rendered difficult by the ab-
sence of clothing.
UNIQUE FUNERAL SERVICE.
Midvale Company Mad Steel ingot
During With Full Chareh Rites,
PHILADELPHIA, Nov, 20-A fu
neral without a parallel! tn this city
took place at the Midvale steel works,
where a forty tou lugot of steel per
meated with the flesh, blood and bones
of two workmen was burled with the
solemn rites of the Roman Catholic
church.
The workmen who were so strangely
laid away were John Forkin and Jo
seph Gazda, two foreign speaking la.
borers, who met a borrible death a
week ago. They were in a pit near a
cupola containing many tons of wolten
steel. A plug gave way, aud 50.000
pounds of the flery liquid poured from
the cupola and overwhelmed them.
The men were completely incinerated,
and not a trace of themselves or their
clothing was left.
The Midvale Steel company was
averse to selling the steel or using it
for the purpose it was intended, and
it wag decided to bury it with the
rites of the church to which the un-
fortunate rien had belonged. Accgnd.
lugly the forty ton ingot, oval in shape,
twenty-eight feet loug, six feet wide
and five feet thick, was moved last
Week by a traveling crane to the rear
of the machine shop, where a grave
ten feet deep had been made. The
great mass of metal was laid io the
hole and a platferm bullt over it so
that the burial services could be bet
ter performed
In the center of the platform was an
opening six feet In diameter
A great crowd sought admission to
the works, Lut only the two sisters of
Gazda, who depended upon him for
support, and about a hundred work-
men who were on Sunday duty were
permitted to attend the services along
with the officials of the company. For.
kin had no relatives in this country
Among the officials was President
Charles Harrah. _ All heads were bar
od and fags were lowered to half staff
while two priests conducted the sery-
ces. After the sisters of Gazda had
been led away the great ingot was cov-
ered with darth, and the funeral party
dispersed. The grave of the men will
be appropriately warked by the com
pany.

YALE IS VICTORIOUS
Princeton Tigers Beaten In
Annual Gridiron Battle.
TOOKER KICKED MAGNIFICENT GOAL
Streancus, Sportsmaniike Game at
New Haven — Thirty Thousand -
Cheered Doth the Grand
Teams.
NEW HAVEN, Coun, Nov. 0. — lu
& strenuous, exciting, sportsmanlike
game of football Yale's superb eleven
defeated the plucky Princeton Tigers
by a score of 23 to 4 In the presence
of a vast crowd of 80,000 spectators
The game vever lacked interest for
a moment and was ane of the best ex
hibitions of America’s greatest sport
that ever Las been provided by two
rival universities. For fair, square and
manly tactics the struggle never had
an equal, for there was an entire ab-
sence of bad blood. There was no hot
headed slugging. and there was the ut
most good fellowship, which wound up
in a fitting waouer when thousands of
happy Yale men, headed by their blar
ing band, stopped in their mad career
around the fleld after the victory to
cheer the loyal followers of Old Nas-
san.
Enemies of football, if any were
present, mast have felt tha their argu
ments against the game had been in
vain, and had certain high authorities
In the conduct of intercolleginte sport
been witnesses of this meritorious con-
test they undoubtedly would have
wavered in their feelings of antago
nism.
It was Yale's magnificent team work
that won the victory. With swift and
concerted attack the blue champlous
plowed through the Princeton defense
time after time. Yet in the face of
these odds the Tigers never couceded
their defeat until the last minute of
time bad expired. Then, overwhelmed
by four touchdowns, from which three
goals were kicked, Princeton still re
Joiced Tn the fact that with only a few
minutes to play Tooker, the star right
end, bad drop Kicked a maguificent
goal from the forty-three yard line,
which saved the orange and black frow
a whitewash and made the first score
of the season on Yale
This goal from the fleld was a brill
liant feature of the game. It ‘was the
result of head work on the part of
Quarterback Tenney, who wisely made
a fair catch of a punt ou the forty-
three yard line, from which point Took
er, after due deliberation, sent the ball
whirling over the crossbar with won
derful accuracy. It was a play that will
89 down In football history #3 the
equal of Poe's famous goal in 18% and
also Dewitt's star play year before
last. It saved Princeton from worse
defeat, although the Tigers earned ul
Hmited praise for thelr exhibit
the proper spirit 10 the very last
The first half was the fastest ever
played by two big elevens, lucluding
time taken out, It was rat{ed off luside
of forty-five minutes, and Yale by the
cleanest and hardest kind of football
scored a touchdown, which was made
by Forbes aud from which Hutchinson
kicked a goal. With this slight ad-
vantage Yale in the second half re
doubled ber cfforts, and though the
Tigers fought for every inch of terri
tory the New Haven men wore thelr
rivals down and outplayed them iu all
departments of the game. There were
times, however, wlien Princeton play:
ed brilliantly, The attack made much
headway against Yale's defense, and
once or twice it Jooked as If the Jer-
seymen might score. But on those oc-
casions Yale rose in her might and
smote the Tigers hip and thigh to the
dismay of the hordes of rooters, who
continued to chicer untll the battle was
at an end.
Then, ltke n huge serpent, hundreds
of Yale men, young end old, locked
arms, and, winding in and out in fan-
tastic dance, they circled the fleld,
cheering and throwing up their hats
Reaching the middle of the Princeton
stand, the Yale procession halted. The
band ceased playing, and a great cheer
went up for Princeton, This exhibl
tion of sportsmanship aud good feel
ing called for an echolng reply from
Jersey aud a flood of congratulations
