Thousands un covered their heads in silent tribute as the impressive caravan of mourners made its way slowly out Pennsylvania avenue this afternoon. All along the line of march the white carnations marked the memory of the late William McKInlcy. They were placed on the altar in St. John's Episcopal Church at the begin ning of the burial service, and as the choir softly chanted the closing hymn, "Peace. Perfect Peace," a white-robed priest took the flowers from the altar and placed them reverently at the head of the casket amid the folds of the red. white and blue. Beside them bloomed the beautiful flowers sent by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt.

PETERSBURG. Jan. 23. The story of the recent mutiny at Vladivostok and the manner of its termination are a sealed book to St. Petersburg, owing to the dif ficulty in telegraphic ocramunlcatlon and the reticence of the War Office officials, who alone are in possession of the de tails. The Navy Department has not re ceived any messages since January 25, and the Department of the Interior received only today from the Chief of Police fl. dlsnatcn. dated January 24, recounting that the origin of the mutiny of the sail ors was the arrest of a doctor and a Jewish agitator who had a great deal of influence. A meeting was called, at which the rev olutionists decided to liberate the pris oners. The mutineers demolished a building In which arms and munitions were stored, seized the rifles and en deavored to compel the commandant to grant the prisoners' release. According to this dispatch, the artillerymen ot tnc garrison were greatly enraged against the mutineers and seized six soldiers or a wavering regiment, held them as hostages and threatened to execute them unless the regiment refused to join the revolu tionists and co-operated in crushing the mutiny. Beyond the mere statement that tho mutiny Is ended and that all is now quiet at Vladivostok, the War Office is unwill ing to give details. The American Em bassy has not received anything from the Consul at Vladivostok for several weeks Advices from Gomel say that the dis orders there, which were the outcome of the old racial feeling, have been subdued, and that the fire has been extinguished after destroying 61 stores and S7 houses. Severe fighting is reported to havo oc curred between a mob and members of the Jewish Bund, but no estimate of the casualties is available. The League of Leagues is holding a oon ventlon at Imatra, Finland.

PETERSBURG. Jan. 29. The pro ject for making alterations in the funds mental laws of the empire so as to har monlze them with the manifesto ot Oc tober 30, which has been under informal discussion for some time by the Council of Ministers, has now been printed and will be taken up Immediately for formal discussion by the Cabinet. It places legislative power in the hands of the Douma. the Council of the Empire and the Emperor, no law being valid without the assent of all three. A bill re jected by tho Douma, if vetoed by the Emperor, cannot be reproduced in tho same session. The Emperor may pro rogue the Douma at any time, but new elections must be held within four months and the Douma must assemble within six months after its prorogation. The administrative acts of the executive officials theoretically are reviewable by the First Department of the Senate sit ting as a Supreme Court to determine their constitutionality, but. a weak phase of the project is found in several voluml nous appendices enumerating exceptions to the judicial power. The project also provides .for the elimi nation of the world "unlimited" from the definition of the Emperor's power, which so far has been described as "autocratic and unlimited."

NEW TORK. Jan. 29. A strike em bracing 150.000 men and involving the en tire building inaustry of New York is now being eagerly aimed at by the structural steelworkcrs of the city. Such a desper ate step is necessary, they say, in order to -preserve tneir waning organization from complete ruin as a result Of a strike In which they have been engaged for the past seven weeks. The delegates of the Housesmlths' and Brldgemen's Union, which embraces the structural stcelworkers, prevailed on the Central Federation Union yesterday to order every labor organization still at peace with its employers to strike. If they fail to do so they are to be sus pended from the Central Federated Union, An extraordinary situation will be thus created. A large number of labor unions. among them the carpenters, stonecutters, roofers, masons and plasterers are not only at peace with the Building Trades Employers Association, but many of them are represented on tho Joint board of arbitration, composed of both employ ers and workers. Should they stick to the structural steelworkcrs, they will not only have to strike, but also will hav to withdraw from and in effect repudiate the principle of arbitration, which they have been upholding. Next Friday the organizations which are at work are to appear before the Ccn tral Federated Union and answer how they are to stand whether for or against the strike. Samuel Gompers, president ot the American Federation of Labor, is also to be appealed to by the structural steel workers, who have been in hard luck over since their leader. Sam Parks died. In their present strike, which involves the "skyscrapers" going up all over the cits' they have been nearly overwhelmed by strikebreakers from other cities. Back of It all Is the question of the "open shop.

The Servian Parliament assembled today In the midst of a relentless campaign against King Peter. His Majesty contin ues to lose ground, and it seems to be only a question of a few months at the farthest when he will be driven out of his capital and over the Austrian frontier. Prince Mirko of ilontenegro is naeiy 10 be his successor. King Peter's hold on the Servian crown always has been Insecure. His reputed sympathy -with Austria In that country's effort to prevent the servo-Buiganan cus toms union completes his loss of autnor- ity. The Servian peasants are holding in dignation meetings tnrougnout tne coun try. The tag-gatherers visit tnem as ot old, demanding immediate payment. "But," say the peasants, " we have no money.' "Well, you have cattle," say the col lectors. The peasants reply that the Austrian frontier Is closed against them and they cannot get more than $1.25 for an ox that ordinarily brings from Jla to J20. Never theless the collectors forco sales at auc tion to get money for the public treasury, and leave the peasants vowing vengeance on King Peter. Austria Is condemned and a. cry Is raised for a federation of Balkan states under the leadership of Bulgaria and Servla. such as the greatest powers of Europe will be compelled to respect. Turkey Is bluffing hard at Sofia, trying to compel the Bulgarian government to renounco the customs union with Servia, but the indications are that this factor, like the Austrian Intervention, will prove abortive. Friends of Balkan unity every where are rejoicing. It Is reported here that American mcathouses arc sending agents to buy up the Servian herds In a lump. "WANTS DUTIES INCREASED.

The occasional twinges of the disease that are felt during the warmer "weather are changed to pierc ing pains, the muscles become inflamed and swollen, the nervesget sore and excited, the bones ache, and Rheumatism, the terror of -winter, takes posses sion of the system. Then the sufferer turns to the liniment bottle, the woolen clothes, the favorite plaster or some home remedy, in an effort to get relief. But Rheumatism is not a trouble that can be rubbed away or drawn out -with a plaster; these things relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation, but do not reach the real cause of the trouble, and at the next exposure an other attack comes on. Rheumatism is caused by a sour, acid condition of the blood. The refuse matter and bodily impurities -which should be carried off through the channels of nature have been left in the system because of indigestion, -weak Kidneys, torpid Liver and a general sluggish condition of the system. These impurities sour and form nric acid, -which is absorbed by me moou anu. uisuiuuieu. io me uiuercnt muscies, joints, nerves ana oones, causing the painful symptoms of Rheumatism. S. S.
