General Trs p off Placad in Command
o f St. Petersburg.
Ht. Petersburg, Oct. 157 — Ht. Peters­
burg was in a panic today, but to a
large extent without reason. The most
sensational rumors were in circulation,
and the shopkeepers on all except a few
of the principal streets closed their
stores and hoarded up the doors and
windows, while peaceful minded inhab-
itants kept within doors. Anxiety was
evidenced in the whole atrnosp ere of
the city, hut so far nothing has oc­
curred to justify these fears. There
were no disorders.
General Trepoff, who has been placed
in command of the Ht. Petersburg gar­
rison, and given an additional division
of reinforcements, declares that he is
amply able to maintain order and the
police are allowing the strikers to vent
their enthusiasm so as to avoid a
demonstration.
General Trepoff in­
structed the police not to interfere with
the parades so long as they were or­
derly, hut he gave notice tonight that
he was prepared to co;>e firmly with
any disturbance.
He had printed in
ail the evening papers a notification
that the troops would tomorrow lie or­
dered to use hall cartridges in case
there should lie any outbreak.
The situation, however, cannot lie
regarded as much improve»!.
The
strikers at their meetings today were
as determined as ever to continue the
strike and the full force of the govern­
ment railroad battalmne is almost help­
less in the face of the general strike on
the railroads. The most encouraging
feature of the situation is the absence
of any widespread disorder.

Chicago, Oct. 26.— A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington, D. C, says:
Six:« after the return of President
Roosevelt to Washington from his
Southern tour there will he a renewal
of the rumors regarding impending
changes in the cabinet, and within six
months after the reopening of congress
it is more than likely that the cora-
plexion of the cabinet will he com­
pletely change»!.
This does not mean that every one of
the present cabinet members w ill go
out, but there will be two or three new
members and probably three radical
changes in position before the close of
the current fiscal year.

The vacancy w ill be

Cortelyou.
Attorney General Moody has been
expecting to resign for some time. He
remains at the hea»l of the Department
of Justice largely, if not entirely, that
he may carry on the prosecution ot the

His pla»-e probably

Washington, Oct. 24. — The govern­
ment of the United Htates is willing to
enter into contracts with corporations
or imlividuals for the cwistruction of
any |»<irtion or all of the Panama canal.
This statement was made hy Secretary
Taft to»lay, while discussing the condi­
tions upon the isthmus and the policy
of the government.
There is some doubt in his mind
whether any concern would lie willing
to undertake the excavation of the Cu­
lebra cut on account of the magnitude
of that work. It is not the excavation
that w ill he so difficult as much as the
disposition of the earth taken out of
the cut. But as to the other work the
government w ill lie rea»ly to enter into
contracts for its completion as soon as
it is determined what type of canal
