Czar Gives Up Throne.
London, March 19. Czar Nicholas
has abdicated the throne of Russia.
The czar abdicated in favor of his
young son.
A dispatch to the London Chronicle
from Fetrograd on Thursday says the
empress of Russia has been placed un
der guard.
According to information received
here the Russian people have been
most distrustful during recent events
of the personal Influence of Empress
Alexandra. She was supposed to ex
ercise the greatest Influence over Em
peror Nicholas.
The Empress Alexandra, before her
marriage to the emperor of Russia in
1804, was the German Princess Allx of
Hesse-Darmstadt
A popular revolution has been suc
cessful and the government of Russia
rests temporarily with a self-appointed
committee of the duma.
After three days of battle, in which
the majority of the 30,000 troops In
Fetrograd mutinied and supported the
revolutionists, calm has returned.
Grand Duke Michael Alexandra

New Cabinet Announced.
A new notional cabinet is announced,
with Prince Lvoff as president of the
council and premier, and the other of
fices held by the men who are close to
the Russian people.
The members of the new national
cabinet are announced as follows :
Premier, President of the Council
and Minister of the Interior Prince
Georges E. Lvoff.
Foreign Minister Prof. Panl N.
Mllloukoff.
Minister of Public Instruction Pro
fessor Manulloff of Moscow university.

Minister of Justice Deputy Keren
ski of Saratoff.
Minister of Communications N. V.

Controller of &tnte M. Godneff,
deputy from Kazan.
The proclamation by the military
governor in Petrogrnd forbidding any
street assemblages and decluring that
any disorders would be ruthlessly sup
pressed made It apparent that affairs
were graver than the dispatches al
lowed by the Russian censorship would
indicate.
Blow for Germany.
Authenticated dispatches from Pe
trograd, together with the consensus
of governmental advices here, indi
cate that the uprising was a rebellion
against the growing German reaction
believed responsible for the food
shortage and luck of effective military
organization.
In this connection Andrew Ronnr
Law, chancellor of the exchequer, an
nouncing the success of the revolu
tion to the house of commons, said
that it was comforting to England to
lenrn that the revolution "was not di
rected at securing peace by Russia."
That control by the new government
Is complete is undoubted. Telegrams
from generals commanding at the vari
ous fronts have displayed an astonish
ing ununlmlty of support of the new
order.

EAGER TO PROSECUTE WAR
English Correspondent Asserts That
All Classes of Russians Favor Con
tinuation of Hostilities.
London, March 19. Renter's Tetro
grnd correspondent sent the following
dispute!) concerning the Russian revo
lution under date of March 11:
"Your correspondent has been In the
streets both night and day for the lust

REVOLT SUCCEEDS
ment have been frequent during the
last few weeks. The attempted pro
roguing of the duma fanned the fires,
which spread rapidly from class to
class and' from civilians to troops,
Sunday it broke forth in flame.
Panic-stricken, the government or
dered the mounted patrols to fire on
the people. The patrols refused, and
a battle between the police and the
troops followed, regiment after regi
ment Joining the revolutionists, seizing
arsenals, burning prisons and Jails
arsenals, burning prisons and Jails
and throwlug the heads of the secret
police into prison.
For three days open battle raged in
the streets of Fetrograd. Strikes in
factories and on street cars were
culled in sympathy with ' the revolu
tion. Wednesday the week's nightmare of
revolution ended more suddenly than
it had begun. Flanks were pulled
from wludows, doors were unbarred,
factories, stores and banks reopened.
The only evidence that a revolution
had been fought and won was the
smoldering ruins of a few public
buildings. The cost in life is unknown.
It is believed, however, that it did not
exceed 500. -
Magical , and sudden as was the
transition from the old to the new, it
is believed here that its results will be
almost immediately visible in the in
stitution by the new Russia of a more
vigorous and efficient prosecution of
the war against Germany.
The duma telegraphed the principal
generals at the front to use their influ
ence with Emperor Nicholas in sup
port of the duuia's appeal for a popu
lar government, says Reuter's Fetro
grad correspondent.
General Brusslloff, commander in
chief of the armies on the southwest
ern front, replied:
"Your telegram received. I have
fulfilled my duty to my emperor and
my country."
Gen. Nicholas V. Ruzsky, member of
the supreme military council, replied:
"I have carried out your request"
M. Rodzlanko, president of the
duma, sent the following telegram to
Emperor Nicholas:
"The situation is becoming worse.
Measures must be taken immediately,
for tomorrow it may be too late. The
hour has arrived when the fate of the.
country and of the dynasty is being
decided."
M. Chtcheglovltoff, president of the
Council of empire, was arrested in bis
home and temporarily held in the min
isterial room of the duma.
A telegram received by the naval
attache of the Russian embassy in
Paris reported that the railways and
public services in Fetrograd had re
sumed work.
The revolution, which evidently was
carefully prepared, broke out simul
taneously in Petrograd and Moscow.
The garrisons, which obeyed the in
structions of the revolutionaries, im
mediately took possession of these
cities after comparatively little fight
ing and equally small amount of de
struction of property.
Petrograd Bridge Blown Up.
In Petrograd one bridge was blown
up. Strict military rule prevails and
the army has the situation so well In
hand that it is not expected adherents
of the late government will be able to
offer any serious resistance, even in
remote provinces.
After receiving word of the revolu
tion, It Is reported, Emperor Nicholas
returned to the palace, where he ar
rived on Wednesday.
The following details of the revolu
tion have been given to the press from
a source usually well informed on
Russian affairs:
"The soldiers refused to act against
the crowd which started trouble when
it heard of the ukase issued by Em
peror Nicholas proroguing the duma.
On Sunday the committee which had
met to discuss the food situation was
partly transformed into a provisional
government under the presidency of
President Rodzlanko of tho duma and
included representatives of the duma
council of the empire and of the
municipality. The garrison agreed to
support the provisional government"
Papers Fall to Appear.
Newspapers, with the exception ol
revolutionary publications which
sprang into life with the success of
the revolt, had fulled to appear.
Street cor service at noon had not
been resumed, but It was believed that
night would see partial service.
The government was declared to be
overthrown by the duma leaders, who
met in the Maverltchlsky palnce after
the regular session had been adjourned
by imperial ukase, and In a telegram
to the emperor the populur represent
atives declared that a special commit
tee, composed of the leaders of the
various parties in the duma, would
submit a list of names for the new
cabinet.
The Imperial palace at Tsarskoe
Selo Is said to be in a state of siege,
but thus far no fire has been report
ed between the guards defending the
palnce and the revolutionists and
troops.
It Is stated thnt General Michael V.
Alexleff, former chief of staff, has
been offered the military dictatorship.
Two Statesmen Killed.
Stockholm, March 19. Passengers
arriving ot Haparandn, Sweden, with
hospital train reported that two men
of prominence in Petrogrnd hud been
murdered.
One of them was said to have been
Alexander D. Protopopoff, minister of
the Interior, and the other was be
lieved to be Doris Sturmer, former
premier.

.: Victory For Brotherhood War
Cloud a Factor.
New York. The conference commit
tee of railroad managers Monday
morning authorized President Wilson's
mediators to make whatever arrange
ments were necessary with the rail
road brotherhoods to call off the
threatened strike.
The formal letter in which this au
thorization was made, signed by Ellsha
Lee, chairman of the managers' com
mittee, was as follows:
"In the national crisis, precipitated
by events of which we heard this after

the conviction that neither at home
nor abroad should there be fear or
hope that the efficient operation ot the
railroads of the country will be ham
pered or Impaired.
For National Defense.
"Therefore, you are authorized to
assure the nation there will be no
strike, and as a basis for such assur
ance we hereby authorize the commit
tee of the Council of National Defense
to grant to the employes, who are
about to strike, whatever adjustment
your committee deems necessary to
guarantee the uninterrupted and effici
ent operation of the railroads as an in
dispensable arm of national defense."
The men will get their present pay
for 10 hours for eight hours work un
der the agreement These concessions
on the part of the managers are vir
tually what the employes contended
they would gain under the Adamson
Law, if it were declared constitutional.

ment: "Regardless of the decision of the
Supreme Court on the Adamson Law,
the basic 8-hour day will go into ef

news print industry and to wasteful
forestry methods, and urged state
forest departments to support re
forestation plans.
Secretary Houston suggested Gov
ernment co-operation in supplying
mills with pulp wood from national
forests and said new mills might be
erected under agreements with the
Government for a long-term supply of
wood.

HARD FIGHT TO BE RENEWED
A Committee Appointed To Take
Charge Of His Property His
Mother Personal Cue-
itodian.
Philadelphia. Harry K. Thaw was
adjudged a lunatic by the Common
Pleas Court of this city, and under the
law cannot be taken to New York on
requisition to stand trial on charges
of assaulting Frederick Gump, Jr., a
high school student, of Kansas City,
Mo. Thaw will be kept in St Mary's
Hospital here pending his removal to
a Pennsylvania asylum.
The court's action was based on the
report presented by a lunacy commis
sion, which took the testimony of
Thaw and his mother, his sister, Mrs.
Carnegie, and his brother, Joslah
Thaw.
Physicians testified before a lunacy
commission that Thaw was suffering
from dementia and would get worse
as time went on.
The commission heard testimony re
viewing his life from the time he was
21 until his recent attempt at suicide.
Judge Martin appointed J. Denniston
Lyon, a Pittsburgh banker, and Dr.
Walter Riddle, the Thaw family physi
cian in Pittsburgh, as a committee to
take charge of Thaw's estate. They
will enter $600,000 security. Thaw's
present income, according to his coun
sel, Is between $75,000 and $80,000 on
two trust funds left by his father, Wil
liam Thaw.
No appeal from the court's decision
can be carried to the Supreme Court
according to Thaw's attorney. Imme
diately after the announcement of
Judge Martin's decree, Thaw's counsel,
in a telegram, notified Governor Brum
baugh of the action taken on the ques
tion of Thaw's sanity and the appoint
ment by the court of committees of
his person and estate.
By the court's decree the police
guard at Thaw's bedside at the hos
pital will be withdrawn and a private
guard substituted. The decree orders
that he stand committed at the hos
pital for the time being pending h'.s
removal to another institution. In an
other decree Judge Martin appointed
Thaw's mother custodian of his person.

Shells Fired At
Ship.'
London. The American steamer
Algonquin, of 2,832 tons, from New
York to London with foodstuffs, was
attacked by a German submarine on
March 12 without warning and sunk
65 miles west of Bishop's Rock.
Cajt A. Nordberg and the members
of the crew reached Penzance, Eng.
There were 10 Americans in the
crew of 27, four of whom were born
In the United States and six natural
ized; all escaped.
The Algonquin was torpedoed at 6
o'olock in the morning. The sub
marine refused assistance, according
to the report of the Consul at Fly
mouth. Twenty-seven men have been
landed.
The German submarine opened fire
upon the Algonquin from a distance of
4,000 yards, firing about 20 shells.
These were not sufficient to sink the
steamer, so she was boarded by men
from the submarine, who placed four
bombs, and the Algonquin was then
blown up. The crew was given plenty
of time to leave the vessel.
U-Boat Threat Fulfilled.
Washington. All official comment
upon the sinking of the American
freighter Algonquin leads to the con
clusion that the Administration will
take no step further than those al
ready taken to protect American ships
and American lives pending the recon
vening of Congress on April It.
The view of the President's advisers
Is that there Is nothing more the Gov
ernment can do short of a formal
declaration of war. Such a declaration,
of course, must come from Congress.
The Executive may recommend it, but
that is as far aa he may go in that
direction.
It was admitted that the unofficial
reports and the brief official reports as
well, indicated that the sinking of the
Algonquin was an overt act
It seems to be a settled fact that
the vessel was attacked without warn
ing and that the lives of the captain
and crew were saved only because the
ship did not immediately go to the
bottom.
GERMAN 8HIPS SEIZED BY CHINA.
Action Follows Upon Severance Of
Diplomatio Relations.
Washington. American Minister
Relnsch at Peking reported to the

China has taken possession of all
German merchant ships in Shanghai,
about six in number, placed their
crews on shore under guard, and put
armed guards on the vessels.
Seizure of the German ships may be
taken by Germany as an act of war, as
In the case of Portugal.

Three steamships flying the Ameri

was 14,587.
American steamer City of Memphis,

All her officers and crew of 60 men

American steamship Vlgllancla, of

of 45 men were Americans. Ship
valued at $1,000,000, cargo at $750,000.

'American steamship Illinois, a tank

New York. Her crew was landed. She
sailed from Port Arthur, Tex., Febru
ary 17 for British port
Washington. With the announce
ment of the ruthless destruction of
three unarmed American merchant
ships by submarines, it was unofficially
admitted here Sunday night that vir
tually a state of war exists between
the United States and Germany.
Technically the United States re
mains in a position of armed neutral
ity. Whether this shall be changed
before April 16, the date fixed for a
special session of Congress, the war-
making branch of the government,
President Wilson has not decided.
One step the President is contem
plating is a call for an immediate ses
sion of Congress to hear an address
asking for authority to adopt aggres
sive measures against the submarine
menace. Already American ships are
being armed to defend themselves; the
next move must be to send warships
with order to seek out submarines and
clear the trans-Atlantic lanes.
Some of the highest officials of the
government hold that the Executive
has the power to declare that a state
of war exists and to proceed with ag
gressive protecting steps pending the
assembling ot Congress.
