DEMANDS BACKED BY THREAT Effort at Conciliation Fails, and the Principal Railroad May Be Tied Up Warsaw May Be Left in Darkness. CZAfi A PKEY TO TERROR. SPECIAL. CABLE. COPENHAGEN, Slarch 3. All of the leading Norwegian newspapers today print statements to the effect that tho Czar Is in a panic since . the recent as sassination of Grand Duke Sersius. The reports state that he la afraid of his own shadow. It Is with the greatest reluctance that be can even be persuaded to walk In the park. He Is firmly convinced that at tempts will be made to poison the water in the palace. He locks himself alone in his own apartments for hours at a time, brooding on the troubles which have Involved the government and the aristocracy. ST. PETERSBURG, March 3-12 A. M. Black clouds are again lowering over the Industrial situation of Russia. The strike at Moscow has been resumed on a larger scale, anarchy reigns in the Caucasus, and at St. Petersburg the measures which the government advanced to quiet discontent and restore good re lations between masters and men appear to have failed, with tho probability or causing the storm to break anew. The labor delegates representing the whole of the industrial population of St. Petersburg, who were elected to choose SO members of the Schldlovskl reconciliation committee, met again yes terday and affirmed the resolution adopt ed the previous day which threatened, in case the demands were not granted, not only to refuse the elect labor representa tives to the commission but to order a resumption of the general strike. These demands are for the release of im prisoned workmen, freedom from arrest, unhampered speech full publicity of meet ings of the commission and the abolition of the censorship. A practical ultimatum was delivered calling for an answer today. There is little expectation that the government will grant the conditions demanded. The strike already has assumed large proportions here, about 50.000 men being out. Among those who struck yesterday are the employes of the St. Petersburg fihops of the "Warsaw Railroad. The strike has not yet extended to the train men, bnt the leaders may decide to order them out in order to paralyze one of the most Important railroads In Russia. WORKMEN TALK OF REVOLT Meeting of Delegates Develops Into Socialist Assembly. 8T, PETERSBURG, March 2. Workmen representing nine groups met today at the People's Palace and ratified the de mands drawn up March 1 by the repre sentatives of seven groups and decided to meet at the same place at 11 o'clock to morrow morning and await a reply until neon.. If at that hour a satisfactory guarantee is not forthcoming, the dele gates will leave the hall, decline to elect members to serve on the mixed com mission of which M. Schldlovskl Is presi dent and proclaim a general strike. About 400 men were present at today's meeting. The proceedings were more formal than yesterday. A number of the speakers reviewed the situation, rhowlng thorough familiarity with strikes, revolutions and the history of other countries. They described the benefits of constitutions and parliaments and de clared that the Russians would be con tent with nothing less than a repre sentative government. The speakers were steeped In Socialistic literature. The meeting enthusiastically 'applauded ac counts of victories gained by the proletar iat In other countries. One speaker in particular delivered a carefully prepared address. Standing on the platform, his flaxen hair hnngtn to his shoulders, wearing a loose, red shirt and high Russian boots, he looked the picture of one of Gaxim Gorky's types. He. said the proletariat alone could achieve positive results. The Liberals used the masses to crush dynasties and then turned on the masses. The Liberals had done little for Russia. He appealed to the audience to stand together and de mand a people's parliament, which was the only solution now possible. He added: "We went out in the streets one day and were shot down like dogs. We are on the eve of great events, perhaps a fearful drama. No matter. We must be firm and steel our hearts to fulfill the watchword fight-" The speech was greeted with tremen dous applause. Amid Intense enthusiasm the assembly unanimously adopted resolutions reaffirm ing the resolutions of March 1, and after agreeing on the hour for tomorrow's meeting, dispersed aj, 6 P. M. The authorities are preparing to meet a serious situation March 4. Many resi dents are laying in stores of provisions. BOMB THROWN AT SOLDIERS V a .-raw in a Ferment, and Gas Sup ply May Give Out. WARSAW. March 2 J4:45 P. M.). A bomb was thrown from a window over looking the courtyard of the Muranoff District police station at 3 o'clock this af ternoon. It fell in the midst of a group of soldiers, but did not explode. Two Jews have been arrested for supposed connection with the affair. No details are known, as the officials are very re ticent. Disturbances are reported to have taken place In several parts of the city during the afternoon. At the leather enamel works two workmen fired several shots at two of the directors as the latter were leaving the factory. The shots did not take effect and the assailants escaped. A military pa-trol attempted to arrest fame striking Jewish shop assistants who were forcing shopkeepers to close their premises. The strikers fired on the patrol repeatedly, but without injuring any of them, and then escaped. During the day the police arrested 340 striking Jewish shopkeepers' assistants. nxne Question of gas. supply is causing. much alarm. The director of the company today notified tho Governor-General that the stock cf gas on hand is sufficient to last only till Saturday. Unless the gov ernment intervenes and compels the strik ers to return to work, the city will be in darkness by Sunday night. The gas works have been operated by soldiers for four weeks past, under the supervision of fore men who did not Join in the strike. In consequence of the soldiers being without experience, the machinery has become so dirty that it will be Imposslblo to con tinue the manufacture of gas without qualified workmen. The foremen, who have been working 43 hours at a stretch, are unable to bear the strain longer. During this morning's disturbances strikers stabbed a foreman of the gas works, who died tonight. The other fore men are panic-stricken and refuse to work longer. Unless the authorities take ac tion the directors of the gas works will telegraph a report of the situation to the Minister of the Interior tomorrow and disclaim further responsibility. It appears that the chief point in con tention between the company and the strikers is the letter's demand for the discharge of 40 German engineers. The company is a German concern and hence refuses to comply with the demand of the strikers. In view of possible disturbances on Saturday and Sunday, the gas com plications are adding greatly to the dan ger of the situation. POPULAR FURY IS GROWING Bomb Thrown at Police General Uprising in Poland Planned. WARSAW, March 3. The placing of Po land under martial law has only had the effect of Increasing the fury of the popu lace, and yesterday there were even more slots reported than at any time since the trouble began. While a force of rioters and police were being mustered at the chief police station In the Muran off district, some one threw a bomb loaded with scrap metal and nails through a window, it striking in the middle of the drill hall. There was a sudden rush for tho doors and windows by the police, but luckily the grenade failed to explode and no one was hurt. It was of a most deadly character and it is believed to have been one of those recently smuggled over the frontier. Tho police arrested two men charged with having thrown the explo sive. From numerous points come re ports of renewed disturbances yesterday and the military seem absolutely unable to control the rioters. Wholesale arrests are being made, but for every person taken Into custody another seems to take his place. All that the peasants need Is a leader and, should "the man of the hour" put in an appearance, the Russian troops might be driven out ot the land. It is reported, and generally credited in certain quarters, that plans have been made by the Polish Revolutionary So ciety for a general uprising in the near future and, when the signal Is given, a bloody conflict is certain. STEPS FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY Committee of Ministers Recommends Removal of Vexatious Restrictions. ST. PETERSBURG. March 2. The com mittee of ministers, after discussing the statute of religious dissenters and consid ering measures to remove the grievances of that class, has decided in favor of re pealing all regulations of a vexatious character proposed by the Minister of the Interior within three months and to or der the abolition of all measures inter fering with religious belief, except such as may be considered indispensable, which should receive the sanction of the Em peror. The committee of ministers has also de cided to direct the Minister of the In terior to forbid the enforcement of rela tions dealing with .protection, or state or police surveillance of religious matters. The committee of ministers also calls upon the heads of the ministerial depart ments and the procurator-general of the Holy Synod to present reports to the Em peror, and requests that all sentences of exile and imprisonment for Tellglous er rors should be quashed. FATAL STRIKE RIOT IN MOSCOW Conflict Between Two Factions Among the Workmen. ST. PETERSBURG, March 2. Accord ing to reports from Moscow, several riot ers have been killed in conflicts with workmen of the Orechow Sujewo manu facturing district. It appears that the fighting was between a faction who as saulted the manufacturers and others who intervened for their protection. Troops were dispatched to the scene of tho dis turbance. Another 10,000 men struck today In the large factories of the Viborg quarter of St. Petersburg. WARSAW STRIKERS WARLIKE Drive Officials From Gas Office and Threaten Soldiers. WARSAW. March 2 (7:40 P.

Lappln Answers Church Seeking a Pastor in the Spirit of Its Inquiry and Raps Some Brethren Hard. ATLANTA. 111., March Z Rev. a S. Lappln, of the Christian Church of At lanta, mailed a letter today to the trus tees of the Christian Church of Peoria, which is looking for a pastor who must be an evangelist, large man, mixer, crank and willing to assume the burdens of his flock. Mr. Lappln, In & witty application for the vacancy, says: "I am an evangelist. I served one year as state evangelist la Illinois and nearly killed myself at work. I always hold my own meetings where I am pas tor. If I feel like It and the church will let me. It has been a rule of mine never to turn anyone away If they wanted to Join a church where I was preaching, espe cially if I had reason to believe that they were in earnest. "I am a lodge man. I belong to the A. F. & A. iL, the L O. O. F. and the M. W. A., and would not object to Join ing Eome more, providing the brethren will pay tho admission fees and keep up the dues. He Is a Good Mixer. "I am a little in doubt about the next question, .for you do not define what you mean by a 'mixer.' I rather guess that I would fill the bin, though, for L on several occasions, have shown myself a master-hand at getting things mixed. Maybe you mean socially Inclined. If so. I am your man, for the person who comes near the church where I preach anywhere near service time must be keen of scent and fleet of foot If I don't make him shake hands before he gets away. "Social, well, I should say. Many is the time I have waded across a muddy street to speak to a man that owed me. "I am a crank, not a fool, understand, but the kind of a crank that 'moves things,' as you suggest. Things do move where I preach. If I can't make them move, I generally get some of the cranky brethren- or sisters to lend a hand till the things start. On several occasions I have succeeded so well in moving things that my family, household goods and all were moved Into another pastorate. What He Will Not Do. "Now, as to being willing to assume the burdens of the flock, I had best be a little less-positive in my answer, for I am not sure what you mean by that. I don't pro pose to take care of nocketbonVq nf brethren, and hats worn, by the good oivcjh ttt jLiasier time, i will not engage to salve the consciences of the brethren who hurrah for Jesus and t fnr v Devil, and I will not usher anv such un to the pearly gates. i will not engage to write or deliver eulogies for those members who regard their religion as a kind of a spiritual life insurance. With a. brimt(nnp -1nnn moM up at baptism for all eternity. About this, I am particular. If members won't come to church till they are brought bv their friends in a big, black wagon, I may happen to be absent then. If I can't preach to people while they live, I don't care to preacn about them when they are dead, unless I could say what I please. ana mat is not considered good form at funerals." POMP OF PARADE.

PEW CASES OF YELLOW FEVER Dr. Reed Says It Is Being Stamped Out With Energy. NEW YORK, March 2. Dr. Charles A. L. Reed, of Cincinnati, a member of the joint commission appointed by. the United States and the Republic of Pan ama to adjust property values in dispute between the two countries, and who has just returned from the isthmus, said today- that in his opinion the sanitary con ditions in Panama are being" improved as rapidly as could be expected under the circumstances. While there has been con siderable yellow fever on the Isthmus, Dr. Reed said that he thought the authorities apparently had the situation well in hand when he sailed from Colon a week ago. "There have been just 36 cases of yellow fever in Panama, with 12 deaths, since July 12, when the first case was reported, he said: "Colon Is not infected, or, at least, was not when I left there. Sensational re ports of the widespread prevalence of the disease are due chiefly to the fact that every case of fever that Is sent to Ancon, where all fever cases are sent, is at once supposed to be yellow fever. As a mat ter of fact, all such cases, unless so fully developed that diagnosis Is unmistakable, are held as suspects until all doubt is cleared up. In this way, 70 or 0 sus pected cases have been proved not to be yellow fever at all. Everything that In telligence and energy can do with the limited facilities available Is being- done to stamp out the disease. The waterworks and sewerage system that ought to have been In place last December are not yet Installed simply because of dllatortnes3 In getting pipe to the Isthmus. The first cargo was being- discharged when I left." Strike Manifestations at Brest. BREST. France, March 2.
