The duma declared that the ministerial cabinet po longer existed. 'Today on the third day of the revolution the capital, where order is returning swiftly, is completely the hands of the executive committee of the duma and of the troops which garrisoned, Petrograd and numbered more than 30,000, which troops support the revolution. Deputy Engelhard, colonel of the great general staff, has been appointed commander of Petro grad by the committee.

the British steamer East Point, London for Philadelphia, with two Americans in her crew, is reported in -Sispatches to the state department. All on board were saved.

The steamer was sunk at 5 p. m. off the English coast, about 15 miles west of Eddystone light house. She carried one gun aftt and an armed patrol boat was nearby.

The crew of 45- left the ship in small boats. The two Americans, John Webber, 159 Fougeron street, Buffalo, fireman, and Edward Ellis, 565 Courtland avenue, Brooklyn, seaman, have made affidavits to Consul General Skinner at London.

PENZANCE, March 15.—The submarine, which sank the Amerl-:-»h steamer Algonquin, was the U-38. One of the members of the crew of the Algonquin says he counted 22 men on the deck of the submarine, and al#?o .that the submersible mounted two guns.

GERMAN tLAN UNCHANGED.

Gerard's' Data Refutes Reports of Modified U-Boat War. WASHINGTON, March 15.—Information which former Ambassador Gerard has laid before the state department refutes various statements that Germany might be contemplating alrtering her campaign of ruthlessness to avoid war with the United States.

From evidence Mr. Gerard has brought and that gathered from other sources, President Wilson and state department officials expect Germany is fully determined to continue submarine warfare in violation of international law in face of the fact that such a policy probably will lead to war with the United States.

President Wilson will continue with his plan for putting the United States in a state of armed neutrality, and this state will continue- until Germany forges armed clash with an American merchantman or cntil Germany abandons ruthless submarine warfare.

Mr. Gerard called at the' satte department today and amplified his report of yesterday.

The former ambassador probably will remain her.e until late tonight or early tomorrow morning, and may see President Wilson before his departure for New ork to attend a public reeption.

They demand ten hours' pay for eight hours' work and prorata pay for all overtime. The important difference between these demands and those submitted last December, when the railroad situation first reached a crisis, is that the latter called for time and a half pay for overtime work.

The position of the employes, when the conference opened, was that if the demands were not granted a strike would begin, next Saturday night and extend through the country within the next three weeks.
