Stormy Debate Shows Rou
vier's Weak Grasp.
ONE MINISTER RESIGNS
Crisis Barely Averted After Strong
Argument and Bitter -Personal
Wrangles In. Chamber..
Berteaux .Gives Up.
PARIS, Nov. lO.-rThe Rouvicr Ministry
met with Its first check today, when M.
Berteaux, Minister of War, peremptorily
withdrew from the ministerial benches
during an angry debate In the Chamber
of Deputies, and thereafter announced his
resignation. For a time the entire Cab
inet hung In the balance, and M. Rouvler
announced tho readiness of hlmBelf and
his colleagues to give up power unless
they wer6 supported by a substantial ma
jority. After a debate of exceptional vio
lence, a motion favorable to the Ministry
prevailed by a vote of 210 to 147. However,
the Ministerial majority Is made up of
fractions ot divergent groups, and the
future of the Cabinet remains in doubt.
After the session, the Premier went to
the Elysee Palace and requested President
Loubt to call a special Cabinet Council
tomorrow, at which M. Berteaux's -successor
will be decided, upon, and at which
also it possible further rearrangement
of the Cabinet will be considered. M.
Etlenne. now Minister of the Interior, is
mentioned as the most probable succor to
M Berteaux. M. Thomson, Minister of
Marine, succeeding M. Etlenne. Generals
Langlols and Brun are also mentioned for
the war portfolio, but the Socialists
threaten not to support the Ministry if a
General be chosen head of the War Office.
Can't Tolerate Humiliation.
M. Berteaux, in an interview this even
ing, said his resignation was not intended
to embarrass the Ministry, but that he
was unable to tolerate the humiliating
position of the Ministry In being depend
ent upon the opposition groups In the
Chamber. The crisis docs not Involve any
Important issue, 'but results from the
breaking up of the groups on fwhlcti the
Ministrv has heretofore relied.
During a scene of violence the Ministry
supported a motion of M. Dument, Radi
cal Republican, to discuss the general pol
icy of the government, but the opposition
of the Nationalists and Socialists divided
the government's strength, causing the
defeat of the motion.
M. Etlenne. Minister of the Interior, and
M. Berteaux, the "War Minister, immedi
ately left the chamber amid disorder.
The departure of the Ministers was gen
erally Interpreted as conveying their in
lent fon to resign, but Premier Rouvler as
serted, amid taunts, that the Ministry re
mained ready to meet its obligations. M.
Etlenne later returned to his seat among
the Ministers:
Bitter Personalities Break Out,
After a bitter personal -altercation with
M. Isnard, Radical Socialist, continued in
the absence of M. Berteaux. had brought
out the declaration from M. JaureS, 'hc
Socialist leader, that the Chamber was
imable to proceed with the Ministry di
vided, M. Berteaux re-entered the ch'am-:
ber, but did jiol resumo "his Ministerial,,
seat, taking his old pfacoi-as Deputy of
the extreme left party,- thus Indicating
his intention to resign.
M. Rouvler declared that the fall of the
MlnlHtry did not depend on the act of a
single Minister. He defended the work
of the Cabinet. It was not strangled by
miserable personal differences, but was
well prepared to give a good account of
its services, he said. He pointed but that
a. change in the Ministry now would
jeopardize the final adoption of the bill
providing for the separation of church
and state. The Premier closed, saying:
Rouvicr "Wins Test Vote.
''You may find abler hands than mine
to defend the republic, but you will not
ilnd those offering It greater safety."
The debate proceeded amid tumult. The
ministerial benches remained full, except
for M. Berteaux, who continued to sit
among the Socialists.
Later M. Berteaux closed a lengthy
speech with saying that he had left the
ministerial bench and did not Intend to
continue. A test "motion prejudicial to
the Ministry was defeated, after which a
motion favorable to -the Ministry was
adopted by 310 votes to 147. thus Insuring
the continuance In office of the Rouvler
Cabinet, with the exception of M. Ber
teaux. I'ORESEES HER ABSORPTION
Corca Trembles at Coming of Ito as
Japan's Minister.
SEOTL, Nov. 9. The arrival of
Marquis Ito tonight probably marks one
of the most portentous evonts In the
history of Corca. During his visit, the
Hermit Kingdom, once ' an independent
state, will probably become a Japanese
protectorate. Marquis ito-after investi
gating conditions here, and formulating
his policy will present the programme of
Japan.
It is said that Marquis Ito hopes that
confidence displayed In him by the Em
peror of Japan will have its ofTcfct on
the Emperor of Corea and induce a
graceful submission. to the Inevitable Ions
ofCorca's independence. The plans of
Japan will be backed by army occupa
tion and the presence of two cruisers at
Chemulpo.
The Corean officials and people are
anxiously waiting development from
abroad. Last month several secret agents
were dispatched to secure Ameri
can and European Intervention, the Em
peror of Corea fearing, so it is said, to
appeal directly to Marquis Ito.
Upon his arrival here Marquis Ito was
received with imperial honors. -In the
Emperor's state coach he was driven
through the troop-lined streets, sur
rounded by Japanese, and Corean. cavalry.
L&ntem-bcarers followed with chairs
and rickshas carrying his distinguished
suite. He was lodged at the Imperial
palace as a guest.

ANNAPOLIS VERSION" OF DEATH
OF YOUNG BRANCH.
He Challenged Meriwether In Re
sentment of Insult No Sign of
Illness Till Morning.
ANNAPjOL1S, Noy. O-A statement
coming from within the Naval Academy,
and believed to represent the midship
men's version of the fight between Mid
shipmen Meriwether and Branch and the
death of tho latter Is as follows:
Tht fight between Midshipmen Branch
and Meriwether was because of personal
dislike and trouble between tho two mid
shipmen, which culminated In- the lattcr's
personally insulting the former. Branch
did not report Melrwethor for any viola
tion of regulations, and he did not incur
this fight because of discharging his duty.
Branch challenged Meriwether as the re
sult of insulting remarks addressed to
him by the latter, and it was decided that
their difference bo decided in tire usual
manly American fashion.
In weight, there was a differonce of over
five pounds between the two, both mld
shlpmeu being good physical specimens of
manhood, 'Branch having at one time held
the academy lightweight wrestling cham
pionship. Meriwether was not considered
exceptionally well developed physically, as
has ben erroneously stated. This way of
settling their personal differences may
have been a mistaken one, but, as far as
can be said about an affair of this descrip
tion. It was free from brutality and any
unfairness, and the tragic ending is a
most lamentable accident.
At the conclusion of the fight. Branch
was able to walk to his room, and. there
conversed with his seconds for a time,
afterward taking a shower bath and re
tiring. No fear of the result being tragic
was felt until the next morning, when he
was found unconscious.
Tlie code at the Naval Academy abso
lutely prohibits fighting over a report.
Midshipmen on duty frequently have to
exercise this duty for tho, 'maintenance of
discipline, and it would be just as serious
an offense against their code for the mid
shipman so reported to challenge the one
who made the report as It would bo for a
University of Virginia student to offend
against their code of honor by cheating
at an -examination.
PRESIDENT MAKES INQUIRIES
Wants Information About Death of
Midshipman Branch.
WASHINGTON, Nov. lO.-The Presi
dent has called upon Secretary Bonaparte
for a report upon certain features of the
case of Midshipman Branch, who died at
the Naval Academy at Annapolis after, a
glove fight with another midshipman.
Mr- Bonaparte today made a request of
the superintendent. Admiral Sands, for
the specific Information desired.
At the conclusion of a long conference
with the Admiral It was stated that no
action had been determined upon, al
though it wag indicated that there might
he a statement from an official quarter
tomorrow. It was stated that, according
to Information before the department, the
indications , were that the death ot Mid
shipman Branch was caused by repeated
blows on the head' and in the opinion
of medical examiners It could, not have
been caused by. a single blow.
Mr. Bonaparte said today that the prac
tice of fighting at the Academy was very
objectionable and would he discouraged.

mm IN DREAD
(Continued From Page 1
ers present a lively picture today. There
are crowds of spectators on the sidewalks
watching the unfortunate owners of
burned buildings who arc salvaging their
property from the heaps thrown Into tho
streets and from the wrecked interiors of
stores. Patrols mingling with all the
crowds prevent further robbery.
There was no disorder during the night.
Late in the evening a squad of loyalists
bearing a white flag attached to a bayonet
marched to the district occupied by the
mutineers and induced them to surrender,
pointing out their revolt was merely be
ing used as a cover for robbery and pil
lage on the part of the rowdy classes.
The "Tigers," as the roughs are termed
at Cronstadt, wished to renew the pill
aging during the night under cover ot
darkness and general disorganization, but
were unable to do so. The troops and in
habitants working In full co-operation,
prevented every attempt at further loot
ing. The reports that the mutinous sailors
killed some of their officers are not con
firmed, but It is positively asserted that
a number of officers sought safety In hid
ing or la flight. Captain O. Von Essen,
who commanded the battleship Sebasto
pol at Port Arthur, and who was In com
mand of one of the equipages here, gath
ered his men together In the barracks and
made a short and stirring address which
induced them to remain loyal. Later he
sent them in detachments to persuade
their friends of other equipages to return
to the colors.
FEAR MASSACRE IX CAPITAL
Jews Find Houses Marked and Ap
peal for Protection.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 10.-Storiea
are being industriously circulated that a
regular St. Bartholomew massacre of the
Jews and intellectuals has been planned
by the "Black Hundred," of St- Peters
burg for some time. It is declared that
all houses occupied by Jewish families
arc being marked with a red cross.
While It is undoubtedly true that the
lower classes would like to be lot loose,
no real danger is anticipated, as the police
have received the most rigid Instructions
to suppress any attempt at an uprising.
Genuine alarm has, however, been cre
ated by the reports of the contomplated
massacre of Jewish people tomorrow
-night, as shown by the fact that members
of the American colony, including a num
ber of naturalized Jews, appeared at the
embassy today in a greatly alarmed state
to ask for advice and protection.
Spencer Eddy, the American Charge
d'Affalres, made them a speech, saying
that he did not regard an outbreak as
possible, but he instructed them all In
the event of danger to seek asylum at
the Klelnmichael palace. In Serge street.
In which the "embassy Is situated. Should
the threatened outbreak occur. Mr. Eddy
will demand a military guard for the pal
ace. The other embassies have been sim
ilarly besieged by alarmed forolgn resi
dents. The excited appeals which the League
of Leagues and deputations of Social
Democrats and other bodies are making
to the Town Council and Count WJtto to
prevent a massacre, and the loud warn
ings published by the radical press, which
favors the organization of a national
militia, have the appearance of an organ
ized campaign to terrorize the public and
to frighten the government into acced
ing to their demands.
The Intellectuals arc being told to arm
themselves for defense against the "Black
Hundred." Those appeals are greatly ex
citing the masses, and might precipitate
the bloody tragedy which they seek to
avoid. At the Haymarket 12.000 excited
peasants were seized with tho Idea that
the intellectuals were arming against
them, and began wildly talking of means
of defense. The police under Instruc
tions went among the crowds, quieting
them and assuring the peasants that the
danger was purely Imaginary-
General Dedulln. Prefect of Police, lias
Issued an order referring to the rumors
of a proposed attack on the Jews and the
Intellectuals reminding the police that on
them lies the responsibility for the main
tenance of order and the safety of every
Inhabitant of the capital without distinc
tion of position, nationality or faith. He
instructs them to bring to trial the insti
gators of violations and all persons found
Issuing seditious proclamations.
Count Witte has ordered a thorough in
vestigation of all the Jewish massacres
and other disorders In the Interior whore
the police, troops and officials are charged
either with inciting or with abetting vio
lence, and he Is determined to have all
the offenders removed and punished.
During the rioting at Cronstadt the
government treasury there, which was
surrounded by a deep moat filled with
water, was only saved from the mob of
mutineers and rowdies by the removal of
the bridges.
Ethelbert Watts, the American Consul
General here, received the following dis
patch last night from Consular Agent
Peter Wlgus at Cronstadt:
"Sailors, aided by a mob, commenced
rioting here and several houses were sot
on fire and shops were robbed. The situ
ation remains critical."
REAL FIGHT NOT YET BEGUN
Extremists on Both Sides Appeal to
Worst Elements.
MOSCOW. Nov. lWSpeclal.) A care
ful analysis of the situation here proves
that the real fight has not yet begun and
that the situation Is absolutely without
parallel in the history pf the world, while
the Moderates are Joined with the Zemst
vo and Municipal parties, together with a
majority of the students and the better
class of tho workmen, to loyally abstain
from any activity in the rioting that is
likely to hamper Premier Wlttc's at
tempts to restore tranquillity by peace
ful negotiations, the revolutionaries, who
are undoubtedly tho oldest and. strongest
party in Russia, arc redoubling their ac
tivity and arc getting deeper into the
lower strata of society, and the bureau
cracy is doing practically the same thing.
The bureaucrats are offering land na
tionalization, while, the revolutionists are
appealing with the cry:
"Who Is for God and the Czar with fam
ine at tho door?"'
One-fifth of the working population and
half-educated middle classes have been
ruined by years of. bad. trade and the
empty -exchequer, and demoralization
which always follows a war. Civil war
is practically inevitable, and all who can
do so aro leaving the country. The army
is secretly divided between the govern
ment and the people.
One million roubles have been placed by
the government at the disposal of the
Zemstvos for the relief of the sufferers
from the famine.

FLEE , TO SHIPS AT ODESSA
Foreigners Fear Outbreak by Police.
"Wlio Expect Prosecution.
ODESSA, Nov. 11. (Special.) That an
other massacre Is expected here is shown
today by the fears expressed by the for
eign population, who have taken refuge
on ships in the harbor. British citizens
have gone aboard vessels floating the
English flag, while those of other na
tionalities have boarded ships of their
respective countries.
Those who have taken rcfugo on these
ships have almost certain knowledge that
more disorders are to follow and have
positively declined to return to the city,
although the Governor-General has as
sured the consuls that further disorders
jtfUl not be permitted as he Is nawt .so
he says. In a position to at once put
down any uprising.
The new troubles, if any come, are
expected to be from 'the police, who.
now that Trepoff is not In a position to
defend them, arc likely to be prose
cuted for the part they took In the re
cent horrors. This new danger Is fraught
with more fears, owing to the fact that
the Hooligans have not yet been- disarmed
and would Join with the incensed police.
A Christian society Is collecting sig
natures for an address to the Jews, ex
pressing indignation at the recent dis
orders and specifying by name the per
son? who caused them.
The Governor of Crimea, General Vol
koff. who was accused of organizing the
massacres at Simferopol and Sevastopol,
is reported to have gone Insane. All the
police of Simferopol and Sevastopol have
been dismissed.
Poltava is the only town In South Rus
sia where the Jews have not been op
pressed. There the Governor-General,
Prince Urusoff. published a humane ap
peal .to all Christians, signed by the
Bishop and all the 'authorities, which met
with complete success In preventing dis
orders. Prefect Nledhardt. to whom Is attributed
the responsibility for the outrages. Is still
In office. It has been officially ascertained
that there were upward of 40,000 sufferers
from the recent reign of anarchy.
Joy prevails here at the removal of Gen
eral TrepoffTrom the post of Minister of
the Interior.
LECTURES ON REFORM LAWS
City Councils More to Counteract
Lies of Reactionaries.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 10. The
Town Council of St. Petersburg is tak
ing the lead In the political education
of the masses by inaugurating a series
of public lectures, at which tho new
order of things Is explained to the peo
ple. The object of the meetings is to
allsy the hostility between the various
classes by showing the benefit accru
ing to all from the grant of liberties.
This example will be followed by Mos
cow and other cities.
Word reaches Count Wlttc that In
some regions the reactionaries who are
seeking to make the new regime
odious are spreading reports among
the peasants In the country and the
lower classes ot the cities that the im
perial manlfestb Is a forgery issued by
a camarilla of revolutionists of which
Count Witte Js the head, and who hold
the Emlvftror prisoner In the palace.
Such storfccirculated among the ig
norant peasantry are apt to prove al
most as dangerous now as they did
when the peasantry rose to support
Pugatlcheff, who. claiming to be Peter
III, called on the people to overthrow
Catherine II.
The clergy throughout the country,
under Instructions from the Holy
Synod, are doing all-in their power to
counteract the effect of such reports
by explaining to the people in the
churches tho real meaning of the re
forms. ASK AUTONOMY FOR POLAND

received at the George River Hudson's
Bay Company's station at Ungava Bay.
Then more than 550 miles of our Jour

"When we left Northwest River, our
first objective point was Seal Lake,
which we reached July 15. We made our
first camp on Lake Michekamau on Au

two bands of Indians, the first fifty
miles below the headwaters. Two days

river whirled down so that you felt
certain around the point where it dis
appeared destruction -must await you.
Once we ran three and three-quarter
miles lh 13 minutes. We saw one herd
of thousands of caribou and for 50
miles beyond this the country was
alive with caribou.
"We had no illness in the party. We
were delayed only one day. when two
of the men did not feel well. In all. we
passed 13 days In camp. The weather
was wonderfully fine and we did not
travel In the rain.

WARNED BY GOVERNMENT
Feople Must Keep Peace or Reforms
Will Be Withheld.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 10. A long
official proclamation published this morn
ing denle3 that disorders In any part ot
the country have been fomented by the
government and promises a careful In
vestigation into the outrages against life
and property and promises to prevent
their recurrence. It says, even were the
accusations against the government con
firmed, they would not form a pretext for
the recent terrible occurrences. The gov
ernment recognizes that it is Its duty to
remain quite impartial, and to give Its
protection to all persons requiring It.
The government will strive to fulfill the
Emperor's will regarding the freedom of
citizenship. The communication says:
"The hostile relations of different par
ties and the non-participation of the Mod
erates may result In a situation unsuit
able for the Introduction of reforms, but
the government cannot think that any
considerable part of the Russian people
prefers disorder to order and Internal
strife to peaceful development. The
Council of Ministers is therefore ready
to execute the imperial command to the
utmost."

"At four months old my baby's fac

and large scales you could not tell
what she looked like. No child ever
had a worse case. Her face was being"
eaten away, and even her finger nails
fell off. It itched so she could not
sleep, and for many weary nights we
could get no rest. At last we got Cuti

began to heal at once, and she could

had not one sore on her face or body.
