LET CONGRESS ACT
President Wants It to Investi
gate Insurance.
CONSULTS WITH MORTON
"will Propose Federal Inquiry to Go
Beyond Work' of Legislative
Committee Morton Gives
Inside Facts.
XBW YORK, Nov. 6. (Special.) That
there will be a Fedoral investigation of
life insurance and insurance methods and
that President Roosevelt is taking an act
ive interest In the matter and -will, in all
likelihood, at an early date ask for the
appointment of a Congressional commit
tee to tako up the work, was learned to
day from an authority the value of which
cannot be questioned.
The inquiry will be conducted independ
ently of the State Legislative committee,
and in spite of any results which may
follow the committee's report It is de
clared that the revelations and the many
startling disclosures brought out by the
state committee have been the incentive
which lias led the President and his ad
visers to take up the question.
The President during the last two or
three weeks has frequently been in con
ference with men prominent Jn the Insur
ance world. It is known that Paul Mor
ton, head of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, was In "Washington yesterday.
It was whispered in Wall street today
that Mr. Morton's visit to Washington
yesterday was in the line of giving the
President some inside Information con
cerning the proposed investigation, and
tnat he might evenhave been summoned
there. Mr. Morton would not say wheth
er this was a fact, neither would he con
sent to be Interviewed.

enter public life at such a critical time.
Count Verontzoff-Dashkoff, unable
longer to endure his failure to tranqulllze

ed to have resigned.
The position of Secretary of State of
Finland, which M. Plehve, the former

POLES ALSO WANT AUTONOMY
Hoist National Flag in Churches and
City Buildings.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 6. On the
neels of the announcement of the suc
cessful Finnish national movement comes
news of a strong revival of the struggle'
or autonomy In Poland. JDIspatches from
Kallsch, in Poland, and Tbonj. in West
Prussia, sa ythat flags with the Polish
soat of arms have been hoisted In several
churches and city buildings.
ITTB APPEALS TO PEOPLE
Must Rally to Government or Empire
Will Split Up.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 6. The Of
ficial Messenger prints this morning a
strongly worded appeal for confidence.
It bears Count Witte's earmarks, hints
strongly that the empire is threatened
with dismemberment unless the people
rally to its support, and draws atten
tion to the different character of the
representations wltn which the gov
ernment is being besieged to quell the
existing disorders in the country,
some of them complaining of the zeal
of the troops and others of their in
action, some asking for military pro
jection and others for the entire re
moval of the soldiers.
"Although it is impossible in every
;ase," the note says, "to diagnose the
rue cause of the conflicts, it is clear
hat their origin generally is the hos
tility aroused among the different
-lasses of the population. Those who
are dissatisfied with the manifesto
provoke the indignation of those who
received it satisfactorily. Disorders
accomplish nothing, and only delay
the reforms which are designed to
jive the people a representative as
sembly to settle their difficulties. The
3uty of every faithful subject of the
Emperor is to aid in the pacification
Df the country.
"In particular," the note concludes,
"the government reckons on the sup
port of the press, which must under
stand that in this political situation
t union of "the intellectual forces of
:he -whole nation Is necessary."
Witte's Efforts Hopeless.
The tactics of the opposition, ac
;ordlng to the Russ, will be peace
able. They will take the form of dem
onstrations to compel' the government
o redeem its promises and meet the
R-l6h.es of. the people. The paper claims
hat even Count WItte falls to com
prehend the forces with which he Is
leallng, "which consist of unions and
eagues representing organized dls
:rustaf' Continuing, the Russ says:
"There are no leaders, and Count
Witte's efforts' to bring individuals
nto his camp are, therefore, unavail
ng He summons them under the in
luence of his personality, they listen,
but are powerless to reply, and when
hey take back his words to the or
ranizatlons they represent, the organ
isations, free from the spell of his
afiagic, always return the same reply,
that confidence in his words Is Impos
sible and that they can trust only in
Seeds. The resolutions of the leagues
tre in the. nature of ultimatums."
Worse Horrors Predicted.
Considering the peace tactics decided
apon. the Russ regards General Trep
jff's action in compelling the abandon
ment of yesterday's demonstrations a
olossal blunder. The paper declares
-hat the general's role not -only will
aot aid in the pacification of the coun.
ry, but threatens the destruction of
he dynasty itself. The papers warn
he government that the troops under
he present" circumstances will not do
general TrepofTs bidding much longer.
f bloody excesses continue in the
ltles. they will spread to the country
ind Russia will undergo horrors worse
ban witnessed during- the Pugacheff
ebelllon in fche days of Empress Cath
erine II.
It is remarked that the reactionaries
ire attempting to unhorse Count Wltte
n the ground that, instead of paclfy-
ng the country, he has set it In
lames. Although It is doubtless true
hat many reactionaries would like to
icompllsh Count Witte's fall and a re
versal of, his policy tiJey are neither
bold, nor strong- enough now to make
an effort to do so.
The political situation is most com
plex. Whether the government will be
able to outride the popular storm Is
problematical. In the midst of the
confusion following the abdication of
absolutism there has not yet been
time for realignment of parties, but
the lines of cleavage are clear.
The extremists. Including the so
cialist workmen and students, refuse
to support Count Wltte and have pro
nounced in favor of a democratic re
public The Intellectuals and the pro
fessionals, under the leadership of the
Moscow Zemstvolsts.'are not yet ready
to overturn the monarchy, but are
convinced that the reigning bureau
cracy will not assist in bringing an
end -to autocracy, and demand a. con
stituent assembly based on universal
suffrage, to decide on a form of gov
ernment. The third party is made up of divers
elements of conservatism, including
the nobles and landed proprietors, as
well as the reactionaries, who, dis
gruntled with the Emperor's surren
der, nevertheless will be forced to the
side of eonseratIsm. The peasants,
whose traditions and religion would
lead them to the support of the Em
peror, are vacillating between, the
bourgeoisie and the conservatives.
While sympathizing with the Liber
als' aspirations, yet they are fright
ened by the specter of anarohy.
CALL NATIONAL CONVENTION
Constitutional Leader Says People
Must Devi so Government.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 6. Prince
Ivoff explained to the Associated Press
today that the deputation of the Mos
cow constitutionalists, the group of
which he is a member, which called
on Count Wltte. demanded the convo
cation of a constituent convention, be
lieving that such a course was the only
solution of the situation. He said:
"Count Wltte asked for our sup
port, and told us that our views more
nearly corresponded with his than any
other group. But the support of no
party can now stem the tide or affect
the final developments of the great
national drama. Autocracy has abdi
cated in words, but cannot stop half
way. A constituent assembly elected
by universal direct suffrage must for
mulate guarantees for the liberties
promised in the manifesto. It Is bet
ter for the government to realize this
Immediately than to travel the painful
path over which the people will drag
it. "Count Wltte told us that universal
suffrage was also his final aim, but
he disagreed with the methods we
proposed, and said amidst the present
excitement, which dally was leading
to bloody collisions between different
classes of the population, he did not
consider it possible for the govern
ment to take the responsibility of es
tablishing universal suffrage; that
step must bo taken by the national
assembly itself." .
WHOLE CAUCASUS IN HEVOLT
Railroad and Telegraph Lines Are
Wrecked Every Mnn Under Arms.
LONDON, Nov. 7. The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Dally Mall says:
"War, hopeless war prevails in the
Caucasus. The Trans-Caucasian Rail
road, the sole line, is effectively crippled
and reinforcements have been compelled
to march. Seventeen 'bridges have been
wrecked, and the rails have been torn
up in 40 places. Telegraph lines have
been destroyed, and Georgia and the
Daghestan arc isolated. Every male is in
arms, and the War Offllce is helpless."
RUSSIAN LANGUAGE BOYCOTTED
Warsaw Official Admits Impotence
and Resigns Riots Renewed.
WARSAW. Nov. 6. It is repoted that
the authorities arc slopping telegrams ad
dressed by corporations here to Count
Wltte.
General Biblokoff, president of the cty.

officials refuse to use the Russian lan
guage. Riots were resumed at Wola, a suburb
of Warsaw, this evening. Details are not

JEWS DYING BY- WHOLESALE
Massacre Continues at Ivishlncff and
Bessarabia Has Rebelled.
LONDON, Nov. C The Bucharest cor
respondent of the Daily Mall sends the
following:
"There is terrifying news still from
Kishlneff. The city is strewn with the
dead. An unwieldy provisional govern
ment has been established. Famine reigns
throughout Bessarabia, and the Jews aro
taking refuge In cellars, where they are
dying by wholesale.
A mob of a thousand rioters engaged in
a massacre of Jews In Ismallla, Bess

NOT FIT TO ENJOY LIBERTY
Governor of Warsaw Condemns Peo
ple and Revives Oppression.
WARSAW. Nov. 6. The Governor-General
today issued an order setting forth
that he has ascertained that the citizens
of Warsaw are not fit to profit quietly by
constitutional liberty and he henceforth
prohibits processions and open-air meet
ings and threatens to disperse crowds by
force of arms.
The Governor-General has telegraphed
to the Minister of the Interior asking if
he can permit publication of Polish news
papers uncensored. This action Is the re
sult of representations made by the edi
tors, who pointed out that the present
strike of their employes, who refuse to
work on censored papers, prevents them
from assisting in the pacification of the
country.

Balfour's Reply, to Delegates
of Unemployed.
THEY RETIRE CURSING HIM
Cold Comfort Given Representatives
of Starving, Unemployed Work
men . Causes Indignation
Against British Premier.
LONDON. Nov. 6. The desperate con
dition of the poor of London was brought
to the notice of Premier Balfour today
by a remarkable deputation of the wives
and other women relatln-s of the un
employed, who did not hesitate to tell the
Premier that unless something is speedily
done to lesen their suffering there will
be bloodshed.
"Don't forget that hungry men are des
perate men," said one of the speakers,
who all had the same tale to tell of hus
bands out of work and starving wives and
children. The pinched faces and tattered
clothing of the women, some of them
having babies In their arms, bore elo
quent testimony to the truth of tholr
complaints. Enormous crowds of women
from all parts of London marched
through the streets, headed by a deputa
tion which Mr. Balfour received at the
office of the local Government Board.
The "Marseillaise" was heard as the
procession advanced, perhaps the first
time it was ever heard under such cir
cumstances in the streets of London.
Only Si) of the women were admitted to
the presenco of Mr. Balfour. The Pre
mier was very sympathetic He ac
knowledged that the evil was very real.
but he had little to suggest In the way
of alleviation except an expression of
hopo that public charity would come to
the aid of the unemployed. He depre
cated the socialistic suggestion that in
dustries should be started at the national
expense for the benefit of the unem
ployed an calculated to destroy the
springs of enterprise and cnorgy of the
nation.
At the close of Mr. Balfour's "speech
of despair." as the delegates described it,
Mrs. Crooks, wife of William Crooks, a
Labor party member of the House of
Commons, and several other women ex
citedly Invited Mr. Balfour to come and
live among them a few months.
The Premier remarked that he was
quite aware that nothing he had said
could be other than disappointing. They
had his genuine sympathy and he felt
most acutely the magnitude of the evil
from which they were suffering.
A mass meeting of the women was
held In the afternoon to hear the report
of the delegation. Mr. Crooks, M. P..
and others made speeches. Mr. Crooks
said that Mr. Balfour's roply to tho del
egation was unworthy of the Premier ot
a great country. The mention of Mr.
Balfour's name was greeted with a storm
of hisses. Mr. Crooks added that they
had started an agitation which would
not cease until every man who wanted
work was supplied with sufficient to sup
port his wife and children. The speakct
urged his hearers to continue the agita
tion. He said that a revolution In Eng
land would not be behind the revolution
In Russia In securing the demands of the
people.
The meeting unanimously adopted n
resolution to continue the fight for tho
employment of the unemployed and the
meeting broke up amid uproarious scenes
and the singing of the "Marseillaise."

IN SEARCH OF FREIGHT CARS
Western Washington Millmcn to
Confer With N. P. Officials.
TACOMA, Wash.. Nov. 6.-(SpccIal.)
Claiming that their business 'is being
greatly restricted because of the failure
of the railways to supply freight cars
enough to enable them to fill all their
orders for lumber, a number of mlllmen
from Western Washington have as
sembled In Tacoma and tomorrow will
confer with officials of the Northern Pa
cific railway In an endeavor to find soma
method of relieving the situation.
"The mlllmen of Western Washington
who depend on the Northern Pacific rail
way for supplies of freight cars sufficient
to move their business are in desperate
straits," said Mr. Wheeler, one of the
prominent lumber men In the party,
"I do not say that it is any fault of
the Northern Pacific thaC we have not
been supplied with cars, but on whoever
the blame may res, there ls&no doubt
of the fact that the mlllmen fre losing
thousands of dollars worth of business
'because of the scarcity of freight cars.
"The purpose of our visit here Is to
merely explain the situation to the rail
road men so that they will see the neces
sity of coming to our Immediate relief."
Other lumbermen expressed the same
view of the matter as did Mr. Wheeler.

Sure Charles Will Be King.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. Christian
Hauge, Charge d'Affalrs ad Interim of
Norway. In an Interview published today,
discussed the coming election to the Nor
wegian throne by referendum vote. "Ac
cording to latest account. I think Prince
Charles -of Denmark will be elected to
the throne and will accept," said Mr.
Hauge.
"The election will be held -November
12. on which day voting will occur
throughout the country, but. as many
places are remote, without wire connec
tions, the vote will not be counted for
perhaps a week afterwards.
"It probably would be about the 1st of
December before the Prince would ascend
the throne, and perhaps several days
would elapse before the reorganization
could be completed. The cabinet, you
know, is the one that severed the ties be
tween us and Sweden. While all the mem
bers will likely resign formally, they
probably would be arpolnted. One or
two, I 'understand, are determined to
leave public life, but I am not at liberty
to mention which ones.
