Partial Law Thieatena Poland, Whera
Condition ia Serious — Witte
Completes Cabinet.
8t. Petersburg, Nov. 11.— Except in
the kingdom of Poland, where the
rapidly growing Nationalist movement
and the state of tension among the pro
letariat w ill soon bring about the de
claration of a state of war, Russia
seems, for the time being, at least, to
be generally tranquil. Telegrams from
interior points report the restoration
of order in nearly all cities and towns,
but in many cities, notably St. Peters
burg and Moscow, the better classes of
the population are greatly disturbed
owing to the rumors of approaching at
tacks by the “ Black Hundred,’ ’ com
posed of the most ignorant types of the
populace which, according to these ru
mors, are scheduled to take place in St.
Petersburg tonight and in Moscow to
morrow.
The apprehension in St. Petersburg
has become so great that the prefect of
police, who succeeded General Trepoff
in command of the city police, has in
structed his subordinates to take the
fullest measures to crush any disorder
in its incipiency, so as to disabuse the
mindB of the “ loyalists” of the idea
that the police would remain inactive.
In such an emergency the strong band
of General Trepoff is being missed, even
by the factions which most execrated
him.
Count W itte’ s new cabinet may now
be regarded as completed.
Count
Lamsdorff, minister of foreign affairs,
and M. Manukhin, minister of justice,
w ill retain their positions, leaving only
the posts of ministers of the interior
and education to be filled.
Dmitri
Shipoff, of Moscow, who was president
of the first Zemstvo congress, h aB defi
nitely declined to accept any position
in the cabinet.
M ASSAC R E S IN BESSARABIA.
Mob Incited to Kill Jews by Lies of
Government Officials.
Odessa, Nov. 11. — Authentic ac-
- counts received here from various
points in Bessarabia show that the anti-
Hebrew outbreaks there followed the
same lines as at Odeasa, varying only
in the number of victims.
A t Kishineff the disturbances were
preceded by inflammatory speeches by
gendarmes and city officials near the
governor’ s house, asserting that the
Hebrews had attempted to take the
life of the local bishop, and intended to
loot the treasury. The mob thus in
cited started the bloody work. Carry
ing icons and portraits of the emperor,
the mob proceeded to Alexaudrovskai,
Pushkanskaia and Gostinkaia streets,
devastating and pillaging unhindered.
A mob at Ismail, Bessarabia, burned
alive 11 Hebrews who had hidden in a
hayrick.
British Fleet is Preparing.
London, Nov. 11.— It is stated in
official circles here that an agreement
has oeen arrived at among the powers
concerning tbe naval demonstration
against Turkey. A dispatch to a news
agency from Gibraltar says that the At
lantic fleet has been ordered to remain
there pending further instructions.
The vessels, the dispatches say, have
kbeen expected to take on a full supply
of coal, ammuniton and provisions,
but that the objective of the fleet is
unknown.
Money Market Almost Bare
New York, Nov. 11.— Money on call
went to 15 per cent today, the highest
rate for several years. Last Saturday’ s
bank statement showed the surplus re-
' serve to be almost exhausted, and since
then large sums have been sent from
New York to the interior, leaving prac
tically nothing to be lent in this mar
ket.
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
was in New York today, and it was re
ported he intended to deposit several
m illion dollars of government funds
with tbe banks to relieve the situation,
but this report could not be confirmed.
Irish Opposed to Alliance.
New York, Nov. 11.— Sentiments in
opposition to efforts to bring about an
alliance between the United States and
Great Britain were given expression to
night at a meeting in Cooper Union
under tbe auspices of the Irish assoria-
, tion. Speakeis declared that the ar-
1 rival of the British squadron under
command of Prince Louis of Battenberg
was not for social courtesies, but was
planned in the interest of an alliance
between the two nations.

Hitchcock Refuses to Approve Pro
jects in the Northwest.
Washington, Nov.
IS.— Following
close upon Secretary Taft’s refusal to
recommend an appropriation for con
tinuing the improvement of the mouth
of the Columbia river comes Secretary
Hitchcock’ s refusal to approve the
Umatilla irrigation project in Oregon,
and the Okanogan and Tietan projects,
in Washington, all of which have been
pronounced feasible by tbe reclamation
engineers, and all of which were re
cently submitted to Mr. Hitchcock for
his approval. Lack of funds is given
as his reason for turning down all three
projects.
Mr. Hitchcock finds that be has al
lotted all the money in the reclamation
fund and about $3,000,000 in excess.
He concludes that it is time to check
these allotments, and is determined to
accumulate a surplus before more work
is undertaken.
He therefore intends
to hold back on new projects until July
1, at which time, it is estimated, there
will be a surplus on hand of about $3,-
000,000. Mr. Hitchcock finds nothing
wrong with the engineering features of
these projects, but he is entering upon
a new policy of distributing money out
of the reclamation fund, and his reform
is put in force just at tbe time when
Oregon and Washington were in line
for recognition.
Another thing that develops in con
nection with the refusal to approve the
Umatilla, Okanogan and Tietan projects
is the determination of the secretary to
hereafter confine allotments of reclama
tion funds to 61 per cent of tne amount
contributed by the various states and
territories. It is unfortunate for Ore
gon and Washington that this rule is
adopted at this late day, but, if it be
lived up to strictly, tbe secretary
should at once expend $2,500,000 in
Oregon and more than $1,500,000 in
Washington. As a matter of fact, not
a dollar of the reclamation fund has
been expended on any irrigation work
in Washington, and the only benefit
Oregon seems likely to receive for some
time is her share of the $1,000,000
which has been set aside for Klamath.

Pleiades Barely Misses Destruction in

Victoria, B. C., Nov. 10. — The
steamer Pleiades, which arrived today
from Niu Chwang and Tientsin, had a
narrow escape from destruction by a
floating mine near Niu Chwang on Oc
tober 8.
Officers of the Pleiades re
port that floating mines are now a great
menace in the China sea, and several
vessels have been lost to date as a re
sult of them. The Hsieho was sunk a
day before the Pleiades passed the
mine. This steamer struck a mine
when off the Shantung coast, near Wei

There were two foreign
passengers, and both were among the
survivors of 110 persons who were on
board. Fifteen were drowned.

Messrs. Manchau and Muir, engineers,

required four teams hauling for five
