Petersburg will be declared to be in a
. sieve tomorrow. General Trepoff, ua
t il recently, chief of police at Moscow,
has been appointed Governor General at
St. Petersburg and has taken up quar
ters at the winter palace. The aspect
at the Russian capital is deeidedly
more calm. Business which has been
at a complete standstill has resumed
upon a limited scale. Employes in a
few of the smaller factories went back
to work today and the crowds of strik
ers in the streets have diminished. The
troops in evidence are not so numerous
as on Monday and a more confident
feeling exists in official circles. The
energetic measures inaugurated will in
sure the safety and quiet of the city.
Beneath the surface, however, the fo

velopments is stil unalloyed. Beeret
meetings of the different classes in op
position to the existing order of things
Lave been held ia various places dur
ing the afternoon and evening, but the
divergent Elements suddenly brought to
gether by the tragic events of last Sun
day are advancing on constantly diverg
ing planes, and no common ground of
action has yet been found.1
In the meantime the poliep are active
ly searching out the leaders. Three
well known Russian authors were ar
rested today and the prisons are tilled
with agitators, revolutionists and stu
dent orators. Sueh measures may re
sult in bomb throwing and terrorize the
people, but the consensus of opinion
is that future action of the agitators
depends upon what occurs at Moscow
and the other large cities, where the
workmen are beginning to strike.
Over 100.000 men are out in the old
capital tonight. A telephone message
from Moscow to the Associated Press
at midnight reported there was disorder
there yet. There will be a big demon
stration at Moscow tomorrow and it
is. feared it will be accompanied by
bloodshed.
At Kovno and Yilna where the
strikes have also begun, the workmen
are following the St. Petersburg plan,
marching about the city ard inducing
or forcing other workmen to leave their
employment.
The windows and doors of practieally
every shop and residence in St. Peters

the 'streets were completely deserted
except for the troops.

' . )
NEW. YORK, Jan. 25. Not since the
blizzard of 'l8 by which all storms
are estimated, great or small, has New
York been so completely snowbound as
tonight. The city itself is lying under
a foot of snow, that in many places is I

several feet. Oh the surface travel was
early in the day abandoned, and over
head transit was irregular and it re
mained for the undertrround roads to
carry home, as far as possiole, the hun
dreds of thousands of workers.
The entire coast line from the Dela
ware capes north has been in the srasp
of the storm whieh. because of the
heavy fall of snow, and the intensity
of the cold and a tierce gale exceeded
in severity anything experienced in
years. Throughout the .New England
states and the Middle Atlantic states
all reports indicate a most complete
winter tie-up. Far into the West thefe
is snow and a remarkably low temper
ature. Everywhere railroad traffic is
delayed. Reports of disaster in ship
ping are coming in and with a rapidly
fallintr thermometer much suffering
must ensue. So. severe was the storm
n this city even during the day that
several persons were frozen to death
or died from exhaustion. Tonight the
hospitals, police stations and houses of
refuge are crowded to their utmost ca
pacity.
Tonight a bullet was posted in the
New York Central station that no more
trains are expected tonight. The no
tice referred both to local and express
trains. On the New Haven system
trains which arrived were Tronf four o
eight nours behind time. Not a vessel
of an kind has sailed from or arrived
at this port in more than twenty-four
hours, and at Boston only one arrival
is reported.
At Sandv Hook and Quarantine the
gale blew sixtv miles an hour and a
number of vessels are reported at an

from ConTlrm ; the steamer Rotterdam,
and the steamer Germania, are all in
Sandy Hook bay, and a dozen or more
steamers overdue have not been heard
from.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24. The dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill
aeaia occupied the attention of the
House of Representatives UHy. At
times the proceedings were enlivened
by the vigorous remarks in defense of
the proposition to increase materially
the salaries of the Washington school
teachers, who had many supporters on
the floor. Clark made a characteristic
speech, in which he said more money
was being paid the Washington police
men to crack the skulls of the people
than was paid school teachers to im
prove what there was rn the skulls. Ad
journment was taken without having
concluded the consideration of the bill.
Palmer reported that the managers
of the House to conduct the impeach
ment against Judge Swsyne had exhib
ited and read to the Senate the articles
of the impeachment 'and the presiding
officer of the Senate stated that that
body would take up the order and give

Ceremonies Are Impressive.
Washington, Jan. 24. The Senate to
day took an important step in rtie im-
peaeliment trial of Judge Charles
Swayne. The organization of the trial
was affected by swearing in Senators
for that purpose. The managers of the
House wero received for the purpose of
formally presenting the articles of im
peachment and the : resolution summon

The roll call was ordered a few min

This was hardly completed when Chief
Justice Fuller appeared at the door of
the Senate chamber. He was flanked
on one side by Fairbanks and on the
other by Bacon. The chief justice was
clad in the full robes of office. The
entire Senate rose when the chief jus
tice was announced and remained
standing ' until he was seated on the
left of President Frye.
He proceeded immediately to; admin

Pla'rt as presiding officer for that serial.
Then the roll was called and the Sen
ators appeared in groups of ten before
the Senate bar to take the oath. The
chief justice retired at the conclusion
of the ceremony and Piatt succeeded
Frye as presiding officer.- Further pro
ceedings have been postponed until
Friday next, when Swayne is expected
to appear before the bar of the Sen

NEW? YORK, Jan. 21. (Special.)
The stok market has been active and
feverish; "conspicuously strong ia spots,

which characterizes a . thoroagarjr
healthy . bull market. v Exeessrve mas

that shorts . - have beea squeezed: is
scarcely- -proba)4e j especially. aai Jer
faig the property j is snore . prosperous
than aT'anv time, within its history
and short sales correspondingly danger
ous. If the sudden rise, had say justifi
cation a all. it was most likel v attri
butable to pure ' manipulation, : based
perhaps on the supposition that ine
various anthracite eoal companies t re
to be brouzht i a still elooer permanent
relations of some: sort.. The demand for
eoal ias been unprecedented; and a: nee
prices are high and profitaWe it fol
lows that Beading, -which through the
Gowen purchases back in, the " seven
ties" monopolizes remaining anthracite
fields, would naturally reap large prof
its from present conditions. Such vio
lent movements, however, unsettle the
market and expose it to equally sud
den reactions which simply disturb rnd
discourage confidence.
Railroad Properties.
Another and, more legitimate set of
influences s that affected speculation
were dividend rumors concerning sev
eral important rauroaa properties, xi
hnois Central and Umana both in
creased their dividends, and it would
cause no surprise if two or three other
large railroad corporations shouia fol
low suit. This is a natural sequence
of the heavy business whieh railroads
have been doing for the past twelve
months, and is in some eases ;ut-tified
by, the outlook for the joining year.
Some of the roads are now beginning
to feel the benefits of the big outlays
of the last two years; and if earnings
continue on the present scale no ma
terial recession in the values of good
railroad .properties is at present ' in
sight. The railroads, however, are not
entirely free of : vicissitudes. . Public
feeling is rising against oppressive rtil-

strike on the Pennsylvania system is a
disturbing issue, inasmuch as 't may
stimulate a revival of labor difficulties.
As for railroad legislation, if it 'goes
no further than the stoppage nf re
bates and securing' of equal treatment
of all shippers, that will clearly bene
fit the railroads; but any attempt by
the government to fix the rate -votU be
a revolution in our economic and polit
ical system, and expose us to serious
disturbance in values. Fortunately
there is little prospects of j uch leg
islation. Trade Continues Active.
.General trade continues active for
the season, and the country is now dis
tinctly feeling the benefit of profit
able harvest. Even the cotton planters
are doing well, having sold more t'.ian
half. of their cotton at 9 cents rnd being-
quite capable of holding the bal
ance of the" erop for better prices if
they choose. Pig iron production is
going. along at a record-breaking rste;
and, while the top notch, has, probably
been reached, this great industry is
eertainly enjoying a revival of pros-
perity not dreamed of? a vear ago.
Building operations are also progress
ing at a rate unusual for this a6n
of tae year, and are likely to continue
unless interrupted by a fresw outbreak
of labor agitation, ylonev-is plentiiul
at easy rates, and though the 'cmsnds
from business channels are increasing
there, is Jittle, prospect of any a.Jvanse
races wnut xne April sein-meni
approach, Somwhat bwrher'rates than
now ciist woulil be wholesome, for if
profitable enudovment cannot be found
in legitsmate channels more: hazardous
uses are sure to be found foir idle cap
ital. The present soperabundaqce of
money is one of the chief supports, cf
the stock market at present and is still
reflected in tbo good investment jde
maud for bondswwhieh continues active
and has exceeded all expectations.
Market Demands Caution.
The stock market situation just now
is cue that demands mueb caution.
There are powerful cliques read to
take advantage of a good business sit
uation and to manipulate' first one stnek
and then another, endeavoring bv re
peated advances to secure a larger fol
lowing and thus create an active mar
ket. If nothing interferes tney will
probably succeed, since there is little,
if any, antagonism as yet from other
large operators? But there aie rtber
facts to be remembered. Stocks bave
been steadily passing from strong 'ntc
weaker hands; and the big banitj; in
terests are not' actively committed to
the long side. . The believe that all
the strong factors rn. the situation hivl
been amply discounted by prent nigh
prices; all the good news about in
creased dividends, etc., having been
known to them for weeks pnxt. Anti
railroad, anii-trust, and anti-tariff agi
tation do not promote confidence. More
over, the . situation abroad requires
watching. Russia, threatened by revo
lution at home and defeated nbroa'i, is
sorely distressed. The Czar's !if has
again been endangered and Knssia's
credit is under the severest son vi
strain. Only by mint 'extraordinary
measures is that credit supported, and
should break come all th"; jrineipal
financial markets of the world, includ
ing oar own, would fel tae blrw. The
local" cliques which are now so success
fully manipulating this market m?y
carry prices "to a still higher plane; but
there are sufficient f.otzsi at .wcrk tc
render their success increasingly diffi
cult, if not precipitating sharp reac
tions when least expected.

Finn Misrule Renounced,
$ Contrary to expectation, the first
move of the newly appoint Governor
General of St.. Petersburg is pacific in
character. If takes the form of a proc
lamation jointly signed ' by . General
Trepoff and M. iKokorseff, the minister
of. finance, telling the strikers that
they have been led into trouble by'evil
disposed persons and that, their best
interest will be served by peaceful rep
resentations to the government. The
workmen are also assured that the Em
peror has ordered the framing of cer
tain laws for their benefit and for the
creation of a system of state insurance
to protect them from want in case of
sickness or disabilhv.
The fears of serious trouble in Mos
cow yesterday have not been realized.
The only authenticated instance of any-(
thing approaching violence there wasi
in the dispersal of a crowd of about!
3000 workmen by the Cossacks. So far
as known there were no casualties.
From Finland, anti-Russian demon
strations are reported; aIo a collision
between a crowd of 10.000 persons and
the troops, resulting in the wounding
of about thirtv Finns. Ia Finland the
agitation has nothing to do with the
labor question, but is purely political
in character.
The political educational and mercan
tile -bodies of Russia are adopting dec
larations in favor of an elective repre

tae local authorities wherever strikes
are in progress. By promising to quesr

believe they will meet the maiu griev

This, .together with a guarantee of
protection, the authorities hope, will iu
duee to resume work the strikers who
are indifferent to the political demands,
and which class,' they declare, will con
stitute the great bulk of the men. It
is eertn many strikers were forced
out ajzainst their wishes,- but the gen
eral effect of tue proclamation is still
problematical. Though the strike has
been spreading to various towns the
situation tonight, while disquieting, is
not acute anywhere.
Sir Charles If ardinge, the British
minister, received from Captain Grove,
the British consul at Moscow, a con
firmation of the Associated Press dis
patch from Moscow, announcing the
public posting of a telegram imputing
the disorders to British, and Japanese
influences, and will ask explanations
from the foreign minister today. It is
not expected that the affair will lead
to a serious diplomatic incident.

no fatalities. '

Moscow, Jsn. 25. The students last
