Stolypin has taken to the Emperor the,
resignation of General W. A. von Boeck
man, Governor-General of Finland, and
M. Knlpovltch, director of General von
Boeckman's Chancellory.

officials will carry out the Government's
policy of bringing Finland under close
control. ,
It i announced that General Markhoff.
ex-chief of the mobilisation department
of the Russian general staff, will be
appointed vice-president of the Finnish

IRON ORDERS DROP OFF
Bnsiness, However, Is Well Ahead
of Average Volume. '
NEW YORK. Nov. 7. There haa been
a eharp contraction In the volume of
business transacted in pigiron since No
vember 1. and yet the sales have been
small, only In contrast with the record
breaking tonnage sold last month. There
has been a fair run of small orders for
foundry and forge grades, and one con
tract for about 15,000 tons for delivery
over the next eight months-by a railroad
equipment shoa.
Finished steel products continue strong
but fabricated steel Is still irregular. The
tendency of price for both finished and
semi-nnls-hed steel is upward.
Contracts for rails, which came to the
surface last week, aggregated about 25,
0n tons, but the distribution of orders
for between 300.000 and 250,000 tons are
expected within a few days.
Contracts for . structural steel have ag
gregated between 17.000 and IS, 000 tone.
The prospect Is for a heavy increase In
business this month. The output of all
kinds of pigiron In October was at the
rate of about 30,000,000 tons annually. The
production of steel Ingots, as well as
the pigiron. was record-breaking.

COREA FIGHTS HARD
Rebellion Against Japan Goes
Steadily Forward.
MUCH UNDERLYING HATRED
'WHAT IS REPUBLICAN'?" ASKS
STATE AXXIOCSLY.
Straight Democrat Preferred by
Some, Rather Than Insur
gent Republican.
TOPEKA. Kan.. Nov. 7. (Special.)
"Is the National platform of the Re
publican party, as Interpreted by the
President and a majority of Congress
that party's creed?
"What is a Republican?"
These two questions are stirring as
never before the Republican voters of
Kansas. They deeply concern United
States Senator Bristow, Governor Stubba,
Congressman Murdock and other so
called "insurgents."
The Kansas rebellion against Aldrlch,
Cannon and the "Interests" has pro
gressed far enough to Insure a contest
between factions on the right to a place
on the party ballot In next year's pri
mary election. Republicans who stand
with the President and the National Ad
ministration openly declare they will
support a straight-out Democrat In pref
erence to an insurgent Republican who
is but an assistant Democrati-
The followers of Bristow and Stubbs
are equally bitter and will knife any Re
publican bearing the Taft-Cannon label.
This means, possibly, a gain of five Dem
ocratic Congressmen from Kansas.
TAFT SENDS FOR CUMMINS
(Continued trom Firet Page-)
ary influences seek to take away from
the Commission the Initiating power.
They argue that the Commission should
not be both Judge and prosecutor, and
they wish to place upon the Department
of Commerce and Labor the duty and
power of instituting proceedings, while
the Department of Justice would be
charged with, the work of prosecuting
before the Commission. The Interstate
Commerce Commission itself would thus
become a mere Judge.
"The dang r In this scheme Is that it
would be by no means difficult to ar
range such a division of authority and
such a programme of red tape that it
will be possible to hamper every pro
ceeding with such delays that the Com
mission will really have no power left."
ALDRICH SHAKES HIS HEAD
He Declines to Answer Attack by
Cummins.
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 7. Cbming through to
day from Chicago. Senator Aldrlch ar
rived at St. Louis tynight. He is
scheduled for a speech at a dinner to be
given him tomorrow night by the Com
mercial Club of St. Louis. Mr. Aldrlcb's
speech, as In Chicago, will be devoted to
an exposition of the work and purposes
of the monetary commission.
When asked whether he would not de
viate from his course sufficiently to re
ply to Senator Cummins' criticism. Mr.
Aldrlch merely shook his head. He also
declined to say anything of a general
nature on the tariff questions.
Des Moines, where Mr. Aldrlch will
speak Thursday night. Is the home of
Senator Cummins, but it is doubtful
whether the Rhode Island Senator will
make reference to the differences with the
Iowa 8enator there. Mr. Aldrlch was
Joined at Chicago by George P. Reynolds,
president of the American Bankers Asso
ciation, who will continue with him to
the end of the tour.
Coreans See Nothing in Reforms
Aimed At but Annexation of
Their Country and Resent Bit
terly Presence of Soldiers.
KOBE. Japan, Nov. 7. (Special.) Mea
ger news f rem Corea la to the effect
that the uprising started by the natives
as a protest against the occupation of
the kingdom of Japan, while active In
spots, in other places haa quieted down
through the efficient service of the Japa
nese soldiers.
This is taken here to mean that the
Japanese censor Is busy, for It Is well
known that the Coreans, animated by
equally, as great love of country as their
Invaders, will never resign themselves to
be governed by the hated Japanese until
they are completely brought under sub
jection. A correspondent of the Japan Chronicle
writes that the resistance offered to the
reforms desired to be brought about by
the stronger nation la more a matter of
misunderstanding than anything else.
The Corean officials. It Is said, know
full well what Japan is trying to do, but
the soldiers sent to occupy the land are
responsible for the hostile feeling thaTc
has arisen. The coolie class sees the
havoc wrought by the military force, the
plundered stores, the outraged women,
the ill treatment afforded the men, and
does not know what Is behind all this.
Pretext to Gain Possession.
The poorer classes are unaware that
the good of their land is what Japan Is
seeking. They look upon the occupation
merely as a pretext tqaln possession
of the country, and theirolood bolls and
they rise up against the Invaders.
Incidental to the improvement of con
ditions In the empire may come annex
ation to Japan. In some circles this Is
felt to be the ultimate object. Whether
that be true or not the fact remains that
Japan has already worked numerous and
appreciable reforms among the Coreans.
The various stages through which the
matter has paosed are summarized In the
Chronicle as follows:
Stages of Japan's Administration.'
"There have been three distinct stages
In her (Japan's) attitude towards her
neighbor: First, the advisory stage; then
the stage of subordinate administration;
and finally the stage of well-nigh effect
ive direction. The first stage was ante-'
cedent to the Convention of November,
1906. During that period Japan limited
herself to tendering counsels which Corea
adopted or rejected at will. The second
stage was marked by assumption of en
tire authority in the realm of foreign
affairs; entire authority in the domain of
communications; practically entire au
thority in military and police affairs, and
vicarious authority In the Departments
of State by meana of Vice-Ministers, in
the field of justice by the agency of as
sistant judges, and In provincial admin
istration by means of secretaries who
ranked as assistant-governors. The third
stage ,has just been inaugurated; military
control has been made complete; judicial
control has been made complete, and fi
nancial control has been made well-nigh
complete. Very little remains to be
done."
It la the common belief that the Jap
anese government will adopt a much
more stringent policy toward the Cor
eans as a result of the assassination of
Prince Ito. The Japanese are In practi
cally absolute control of the kingdom,
though there is a nominal autonomy un
der the direction of the one-time Crown
Prince, now made Emperor in place of
the deposed Emperor who was on the
throne during the war between Russia
and Japan. The Japanese in Corea are
expected to repress any tendency of the
Coreans toward freedom and self-government
with the rod. '

EFFORTS TO MOBILIZE VOTERS
IN FRANCE CAUSE" STIR.
Clergy Orders Parents to Boycott
Public Schools Teachers Will
i Invoke Law.
PARIS, Nov. 7. The situation result
ing from the French episcopates' declar
ation of war against the public schoota
and the effort to mobilize the Catholic
voters for the coming general election is
rapidly entering an acute stage.
Monslgnore Goly and other bishops
have publicly forbidden Catholic parents
to send their children to puonc scnooio
if Catholic schools are available and par
ents everywhere are urged to refuse to
allow their children to use the Inter
dicted textbooks.
Considerable demoralization of the
school already has resulted. M. Deu
mergue. Minister of Public Instruction,
has ordered an investigation of the sit
uation, which probably will determine
the Government's ultimate attitude. The
decision of the Teachers' Association,
comprising 100,000 members, to test in
the courts the right of the church to in
terfere with the public schools will be
followed by damage suits Instituted by
the author of the Interdicted text
books. The catechism Is being revised
for the purpose of teaching that it is
a religious duty to vote for the candi
date who is pledged to defend church
interests. -
