CONVENTION SPLITS.
Faction Opposes Presid-nt Roosevelt's
Railroad Policy.

Chicago.-Refusing to stand for
President Roosevelt's policy for the
regulation of railroad rates, a large
number OF delegates to the Interstate
Commerce Law Convention were
barred from the convention OF that or
ganization Thursday, and thereupon
held separate meeting to give ex.
preston to their ideas on the subject.
Aware of alleged attempts to thwart
the purpose of the convention, the
delegates at Steinway hall refused to
admit delegates, although properly ac-
credited, unless they would agree to
support the Presidents rate plan.
These delegates objected to the pro-
cedure. demanding they be given the
right of free speech, while the oppo'
sition charged they were sent by tho
railroads and other alleged interests
to pack the convention.
A number of exciting scenes fol-
lowed before the meetings were called
TO order in the conventions of both
sides. The number of delegates at
each convention was about equal,
ranging between 400 and 500.
Speeches, organization and resolu-
tions including one which was pres
sented in the Studebaker hall conven.
tion asking the President to settle the
dispute as to which was the regular
convention, but upon which no action
was taken, occupied the time of the
first meetings.
The conventions will continue in
session tomorrow. when resolutions
will be adopted by the Steinway hall
convention In favor of the Presidents
recommendation. -

was evident there was no danger and
the President and his party went to
bed Major Craighill, United States

Magnolia and was some distance

GREAT MASS MEETING.
Presases Bloody Revolution in St.
Petersburg.

st. Petersburg-Realizin that any
attempt to interfere with the monster
meeting at the university would inev-
itably lead to n bloody outbreak, Gen
eral Trepoff, who announced during the
afternoon on Thursday that he IN
tended to prevent the assembly, In
structed the police to close their eyes
to the fact, and the meeting which was
attended by between 1000 and 10
900 persons, passed off without con
flict.
The scene inside the university beg
gars description. In the great open
air court with no light except a few
pickering candles on hastily-con-
structed tribune, from 1000 to 5000
workmen, students and professional
men stood wedged together in the cold
and wet snowfall, listening to revolu-
tionary harangues.
Another meeting was held in the
central hall of the university and
scores of smaller meetings of the sep
arate trades and professions were held
in the other rooms of the building.
Halls were set aside for teachers, ply
sicians, bank clerks, journalists, print
ers, chinovniks. pharmacists, women,
engineers, lawyers, tailors and persons
of other callings and trades. and
room was even set aside for non-com-
missioned officers of the army, but
ONLY a half dozen of these were pres
ent.
In all the sections n strong minority
urged conservatism, but these were
carried from their feet by the general
enthusiasm, and resolutions for gem
eral strike in every branch of social
democracy was adopted with Il hur-
rah.
One of the most prominent members
of the Emperor's council to-day said
with emotion: 1.-The situation is a
grievous and n painful one. and | see
not way out of it except by employ
ment of armed force. Please do not
misunderstood me. | look upon the
prospect with tears, but 1t is becoming
more and more evident that the troops
will be compelled to fire. / can see no
other possible outcome. The revolu-
tionists and terrorists are absolutely
bent on forcing Il conflict with MS, and
nothing we can do will satisfy them.
The extension of suffrage and the right
of assembly will be nothing 10 them.
They are determined to have blood
shed, and we cannot avoid the issue.
1t is a friehtful disease from which
Russia is suffering and sad and pain
full as 1t is, the government must act
with force"

st. Petersburg.-While the day
passed quietly without bloodshed in
the Russian capital. and while the city
Is outwardly calm, developments all In
dicate that crisis is imminent. Al
though the streets are filled with
troops and reinforcements are now
pouring in from Finland. the govern
ment seems utterly powerless to cope
with the situation and many calm op'
servers seem to believe that the pres
ent regime Is tottering to its fall.
Differences have developed between
Count Witte and General Trepoff. and
while the precious moments pass, the
emperor, surrounded by the imperial
family, remains shut up at Peterhof,
seemingly still hesitating as to what
course to pursue. Grave doubts are
expressed as to whether even the I'M
perial guard can now be relied upon.
Discomfort Is rife. Early this morn
ing the Fourteenth and Eighteenth
equipages of sailors of the guard VINO
have been shut up like prisoners In
barracks on the Moska canal, de-
molished the windows and furniture
and in the afternoon detachment
consisting of four officials of the guard,
went to the lawyers assembly ana told
the barristers that many of the officers
and large part Of the troops were
disgusted with the government and
were ready to enlist in the movement
for freedom.
A meeting of the municipal council
"a. ,t,,,r tph n
tation of thirty members of the strik-
ers' committee appeared. In an i'm
passioned speech the leader OF the
deputation presented the following
demands of the workmen and affiliated
organizations:
"First-A constitution and political
liberty.
"Second-That the city furnish food
to the workmen.
"Third-That the city refuse fur
ther supplies TO the troops and the
police.
"Fifth-That the troops be removed
from the water works or otherwise the
strikers would cut of the water sup
ply.
"Fifth-The immunity OF the depu-
tation from arrest"
The council granted this last de-
mand and promised an early reply to
the other demands.
The foreign embassies have dis
cussed the situation, but have as yet
taken no steps regarding the safety OF
foreign residents. AS precaution the
State Department at Washington has
been requested to confer authority for
the charter of vessel and to hoist
on it the American flag as refuge
for Americans.
