PRINCE MIRSkY MAKES A
NEW LIBERAL MOVE
Grand Duke Sergius and Minister of
Justice Resign Because They Fail
to Head Off the Liberal Tendency
Japanese Cruiserls Sunk by Mine
and Nearly Forty Men Go Down.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 1o.-That
Interior Minister Sviatopolk Mirsky is
moving in the matter of the zemstvo
memorial is evidenced by his decision
to suspend the operation of the state
of siege in large cities. This measure,
which must be renewed annually, will
be dropped altogether at the begin
ming of the Russian new year.
The Social Democratic Labor party
has issued an infiammatory proelama
ton, denouncing autocracy in bitter
terms, demanding an immediate end
of the war and the convocation of a
national assembly, and calling upon all
friends and sympathizers to partici-
pate in demonstration in front of the
Kazan cathedral tomorrow.
Grand Duke Resigns
AS a result of the unsuccessful at
tempts of Grand Duke Sergius, uncle
of the emperor and governor general
of Moscow, and M. Muravieff, the min
lister of justice, to block the liberal
movement, both are reported to have
resigned. According to the story Grand
Duke Sergius advised the emperor not
to concede anything and told him he
must choose between him and Interior
Minister Sviatopolk Mirsky. There
fore when the emperor indicated his
purpose to support Prince Sviatopelk
Mirsky the grand duke rendered his
resignation. M. Muravieff's retirement,
which will be preceded by the usual
leave of absence abroad, is directly con-
nected with the movement for reform
of the existing laws.

WILL NOT DEFY
THEIR GOVERNMENT
Rich Frenchmen Refuse Vatican's Re
quest for Support of New Bishops

Special Cable to The Globe
ROME, Dec. 10.-It has just trans
pired that Plus X, in his anxiety to
provide bishops for the vacant do
ceses of France, had recently resolved
to appoint them without asking the
consent of the French government In
order to provide the personages select
ed with sufficient living, letters were
sent from the Vatican to the richest
families of the French aristocracy liv-
ing In the districts to be supplied, ask
ing them how much they were ready to
contribute for the support of the bish-
ops to be appointed. The answers re-
ceiyed were for the most part rather
discouraging for the Vatican authori-
ties, as many Of the prominent French
Catholics thus addressed refused to
contribute anything for the support of
personages selected by the pope as
their bishops without the consent of
the government.
The present position of the Vatican
authorities concerning the proposed
abolition of the concordat seems to be
that Plus x. is firmly determined, in
the event the concordat is suppressed,
to claim, on behalf of the French
church. that the economical conditions
of the churches be reinstated as they
existed before 1901, when the con-
cordat was concluded.

alleged secret conspiracy of the Law

Standard il-Amalgamated Copper-in-
surance combine, which Lawson terms
the system"
Barron declares that's Lawson Jug
gled with the text of the presidents
message to frighten weakly -margined
spectators. small stockholders and
traders until they were frightened and
ran, thereby plundering the public of
millions upon millions of dollars. In
his statement he fatty accuses Mr..
Lawson of being a part of ''the sys-
tenn" which he affects to expose but
carefully conceals, and of being used.
Willingly or unwittingly, to further
stock jobbing in Wall street. He as
serts that Lawson led his followers,
gained by masterfu1 publicity, like
lambs to slaughter, by his CURRICULUM
Amalgamated warning" published as
an advertisement throughout the
country. He says:
"Lawson's slaughter1ng game began
Thanksgiving day, when he tested the
market and walked away with infor-.
nation as to the weakness and menace
of Amalgamated in the market. When
the market had been measured up and
holdings had been tabulated through
banks and trust companies, the bell
was rung and Lawson sprung the
mine which knocked the bottom out of
the market It was the psychological
moment, with the country awaiting
the presidents message. Lawson ex-
posed to view the highest arts of the
manipulating tipster during the days
of his slaughter of his followers in
Amalgamated. 1t was the most mas
terful piece of tipster manipulation
ever seen in Wall street. While
Lawson fiddled upon the telegraph
wires of the country, yelling that the
Amalgamated Rome was buring. he
was Nero, fiddler, fireman and in
cendiary.''
