STRIKE IN RUSSIA.

CZAR'S GOVERNMENT FACES GRAVE CRISIS.-" Labor Disturbances Spread to. Many Factories and Riotinc Follows in Muscovite Capital Agitators Believe They Kave Authorities at Their Mercy Confronted by a situation most crucial, the Czar's ministers, under the leadership of Count Witte, spent all of Wednesray in conferences in the hope of - finding some way out of the c r i s is into which the revolutionists, and the socialists have cast Russia. The general strike on the railroads is complete except in a few border provinces, und St. Petersburg. COU2JT WITTE. Moscow and other large cities are almost as closely beleagured as if they were invested by besieging armies Even the Czar In his palace at Peterhof Is cut off from train sen-ice and the commerce .of the empire Is pa' alyzed. At the same time the industrial strike has assumed large, dimensions and the turbulent elements in several localities are offering open resistance to the troops. An encounter took place Wednesday evening between strikers and engine drivers who were preparing to take out trains. Revolver shots were exchanged, and a number of persons were killed or wounded. The striking railroad men are being enforced by the workers In other branches. Hold Authorities Helpless. With the railroads at a standstill and the wires inactive, the social democrats believe they have the government at their mercy, since the authorities arc unable to move troops to quell uprisings In the various cities and provinces, and, in fact, with the mails and the telegraph useless, no information of even the most serious disorders could get out. This situation is rendered all the more serious by reports of bloody collisions already reported from Ekaterinoslav and other places, while a dangerous agrarian movement has broken out in, the government of Samara, across the Volga. The) strength displayed by the social demo crats has amazed the outhorities, who were taken quite as much by surprise at the evidence of their power as they were at the time of the Gopon rebellion. Famine already has reared a threatening hand, as the relief work in the unfortunate districts has been stopped through the railroad strike. The price of food is increasing rapidly even in St Petersburg, where meat was onethird higher Wednesday, and the people are alarmed. That the officials have become aroused to the seriousness of the situation was shown when the special meeting of the committee of ministers was called late in the afternoon under the presidency of Count Witte to consider the situation. The meeting was the result of a request by Prince Ilil-off that the council of the empire assemble under the presidency of the Czar himself to take action. The Emperor approved the request, but announced that ho had chosen Count Witte to preside. The ministers continued their deliberations until long after midnight Frince Hilkoff believes that the strike cannot be prolonged, as the men are without funds. Besides this, he declares that it Is impossible for the men to realize their dream of tying up all the railroads simultaneously. With the assistance of the railroad battalions some trains will be run, he says. Nevertheless the leaders of the 400,000 railway employes in the empire are planning further trouble. They have arranged a big meeting, when the grievances of the men, who get an average wage of $140 a year, will be thoroughly gone over. Summary of Sltnation. Reports received In, St. Petersburg summed up the results of the strike In fcveral localities as follows: St Petersburg is practically cut off from the world, except through Finland and Sweden. Trains in the Baltic provinces are not running and the situation Is reported to be very bad at Riga and Llbau. All the lines in Foland are tied up and a strike has been begun on the Great Southwestern system, covering the territory southward from Kleff toward Odessa. The workmen of the Obukhoff, Putiloff, Nevski, Alexandrovski and Kcipino works are out, as are the employes of the factories on the Schlusselburg Chaussee and the cotton mills and other factories on the banks of the Neva. 8 parks from the Wires.

The Shubert Theatrical Company of New York has been incorporated at Albany, N. Y., with $300,000 capital. The directors are Lee Shubert, D. Shubert, Joseph W. Jacobs and William Klein of New York. An attempt was made to wreck the west-bound express on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad near Stamford, Conn., a large bar of iron being found wedged between the rails a few minutes before the train was due.

iNAnClAL Developments have continued to affirm the most optimistic confi Chicago. dence .in the strong position upon which business progresses. Little more than twelve months have passed since the industrial tide began Its rise, but the period which in the meantime elapsed evidently has been one of gathering strength rather than exhaustion. Considering the enormous demands placed upon productive capacity duricg recent months, the volume of new neds now being secured for delivery well Into the future is of such remarkable proportions as to occasion surprise. Requirements for transportation and construction appear to be greater than hitherto, resulting hi commitments which draw upon furnaces, mills and factories enormously. Distributiveoperations make steady gains and increased complaints as to delays testify to the inadequacy of carrying facilities to cope with the unprecedented freight offerings. Dealings in staple merchandise are well sustained. Lower temperature has stimulated the buying of seasonable necessaries, the aggregate of sale3 indi6ating that the purchasing power of consumers is at its best. Wholesale branches are receiving supplementary orders and bookings nr fnirXf active, especially in textile fabrics, footwear, clothing and food products. Improvement is seen in the demand for furniture, carpets and jewelry. Forwarding to interior points maintains good volume. Country advices reflect encouraging conditions, there being extensive buying of farm needs and expanding store trade. Large augmentation In the forward bookings of iron aud steel, inability to accumulate surplus stocks and premiums for urgent needs, indicate prevailing conditions in the leading manufactures. Railroads make additional heavy commitments for rolling stock und rails, car building forces are increased and other factors enter into expanding activity. More pressure upon output is noted in farm implements, heavy machinery and hardware, while most of the forges and foundries are rushed. New building reaches unusual volume, material is scarce and high, and the leather working trade is seasonably brisk. Failures reported in the Chicago district number twenty-six, against twenty-three last week and thlrty-flve a year ago. Dun's Review of Trade. ' He M Trade reports are rather more Irregular, but Industry Is still at higher tension, neavy rains West and too high temperatures South and East have exercised an influence, but back of this is to be reckoned the fact that wholesale trade has been active for three months past and some quieting is naturally In order. Colder weather now advancing is reported stimulating retail trade and influencing re-order business with jobbers. Car shortages are becoming more acute. Bank clearings now compare with large totals a year ago and gains are small, in fact trifling. The price situation is strong as a whole, though some weaknesses, as in- sugar, corn, hog products and raw silk, and quiet In other lines of raw material, point to demand having been satisfied. Business failures in the United States for the week ended Oct 19 number 178, against 1S3 last wef!:. 227 in the like week of 1901, 210 in 1903, 194 In 1902 and 223 in 1901.

A FAMOUS VIOLINIST.

He Was a Political Influence in History of Modern Norway. What was it that made Ole Bull undeniably the greatest political Influence in the history of modern Nor way? The riddle Is easy to read, say a Margaret B. Noble in L'je Century. Although he voiced the peasants, his own voice was that of no peasant, but one of the most severely - learned of European utterances. Ills Instrumental mastery was complete and the technical difficulties of his compositions have left them for the most part unperformable. But Mozart was his chosen theme, worshiped with such an ardor of consecration that the whole range of his works had for him no secret. His fame, therefore, was of that order that opens all doors. Statesmen and chief captains like Bismarck and Von Moltke were his Intimates and he was their confidant To world artists like Liszt, Chopin and Mendelssohn he was own brother. Indeed, a curious physical resemblance between Liszt and himself led to many amusing contretemps on this score. And sovereigns, diplomatists and great nobles were all proud to name him among their friends. In him, then, Norway had found one who could stand for her in the highest ranks of the nations, learn for her tho secrets of statecraft and recover In her behalf the trick of thinking like a king. For this is one of the losses entailed on a people who arc governed by foreigners from a foreign seat, that they forget to think of their country as a whole, the habit that is the secret of rulers. Yet it was only as a man, and not by any means as a polltican, that an autocrat could claim the friendship of the distinguished artist. His own sovereign felt that he had cause for gravo offense when the news reached Stockholm, in 1S4S, of his heading a procession in Paris to present the Norwegian colors to Lamartine. But even royal anger could not resist the good stories told on the next visit and the king stood biting his Hp at the careless bonhomie of Ole Bull, as he turned suddenly and said, "By the way, sire, you should have been with us the other day in Paris when we went to acclaim Lamartine." MUST BE MEN. Feminine Angels Not to Adorn New York Cathedral. Angels are men! At least so a couple of dominies have modestly asserted. The result Is that a insformatlon Is to take place In the forty lovely angels of the gentler sex that were to adorn the chapels of the cathedral of St John the Divine In New York. J. Guistzen Mothe-Borglum is the sculptor who believed that angel andj woman is synonymous. But after al long, laborious task with chisel ancj hammer, he has learned that the) angels which decorate the beautiful New York cathedral must be mascul line, hence the sculptor Is exeeedinglyj busy in his studio making over thd faces of his marbled handiwork. Sculptor Borgluin has the contract! to furnish forty-six massive angels for TWO OF THE LADY A'GELS. the masterpiece in architecture that surmounts Cathedral heights. It was during the recent diocesan convention that It was discovered that only six out of the forty belonged to the masculine persuasion. Among the GOO clergymen of the Protestant Episcopal church who visited the cathedral, were a couple of provincial ministers who professed to be horrified that the faces were those of gentle women. Mention of "lady" angeM are not abundant in the Bible, these clergymen asserted, and so vehement were their protests that they finally reached the ears of the building committee, which protested to the sculptor that his angels would never, never uo. Mr. Borglum instances Fra Angellco and Danatello as chiseling "lady" angels, but he was argued down, and they are now to have angels wearing "gentlemen's" bewhiskered heads. What the Railroads Do.
