st. Petersburg, Nov. 3.-The coun.
oil of the workmen's delegates at mid
night issued notice pointing out the
necessity of arming workers for de-
cisive struggle for the convocation of
constituent assembly based on uni.
versal SURFACE, with a view to the for.
nation of democratic republic.
The council decided to suspend the
political strike at noon, but on the con.
dition that it be resumed il their de-
mands were not granted. The council
decided also that only those newsps-
pers may appear whose editors would
entirely ignore the censorship. Com
positors have refused to work except
under this condition, and newspapers
not complying with it will be confis.
GATED, their presses destroyed and thei,
workmen boycotted.
The railway mems union, however.
has decided to continue the strike,
mainly through desire to prevent the
transport Of troops to Finland. The
Union of Unions has resolved to de-
msnd complete amnesty for political
prisoners, the immediate Withdrawal
Of troops from St. Petersburg and their
replacement by militia drawn from the
people.
WOrkmen'S Council Comment.
The proceedings of the work men g
council appear daily in secretly
printed newspaper, which today con-
taiped an article saving:
Freedom Of meeting, but the meet
ing surrounded by troops; freedom of
speech, but the censorship remains
freedom of learning, but the university
occupied by troops; inviolability Of
the person, but the prisons full; Witte
given, but Trepof remains; constitu.
ton given, but autocracy remains; all
given, nothing"
1t was officially announced last night
that the censorship Of press kilograms
had been abolished.
1t was stated that officers and pri.
Yates who met at the university on
October 80 formally resolved to use
arms against the autooracy, which wse

Cabinet Decree OispIeaseS.
The imperial decree creating the
cabinet ministers under the imperial
manifesto granting constitution to
Russia was gazetted this morning and
has already aroused criticism, as the
machinery is extremely complicated
and smacks of the old-fashioned bu.
reaucratic regime.
Two features are especially unsatis.
factory. While the cabinet has NO
authority to decide matters within the
competency of the legislative bodies,
no measure Of general Importance
can be introduced into the cham bers
without the sanction Of the cabinet.
Another provision requires that
when the cabinet is not unanimous
the premier must go to the emperor and
receive instructions. This would seem
to make the final authority 60 back to
the emperor.

NCW uUtUy III KdJHOdU OJUSTS'
Seattle, Nov. ga new system of
issuing railroad folders is soon to be
inaugurated by the Hartman system.
Instead of showing the lines Of rail
ways in straight lines, the Hartman
system will be shown exactly as con-
structed, giving every section Of ccun-
try through which the roads controlled
by Hartman are operated. It is
planned to revolutionize railway trans.
portation literature by the advent of
this folder, and in the future all of
the folders and pamphlets issued by
the Hartman system will be in &C.
cordance with this plan.

Gov. Higgins of New York, In a strong
message, has ordered a general over.
hauling and revision of the laws of New
York regarding life insurance. He truly
says:
1--WE cannot Judge all life insurance
companies by the sins Of one. We
should not destroy the edifice to rid our.
selves OF the yermin that infect il, nor
shall we kill the patient to stop the pro-
gress of the disease. A revision of our
Insurance law is necessary, but it should
be made with calmness, deliberation and
intelligence, and after careful study and
inyestiR Ration.'
There are numerous safe and conserve
tive companies still "doing business at
the old stand," unrattled by "friel zied
finance;" and these should in no way be
judged by the miserable conduct of the
Equitable, brought out SO clearly by the
investigator.

There has been picturesque meeting
between the Russian and German En-
perors, and as it occurred just before the
peace conference, it gave rise to numer-
Gus cotjectures. The prevailing idea,
however, is, that the Russian Emperor
desired an outside opinion from a ruler
of his own rank on the internal situation
in Russia. His invitation to Emperor
William is regarded as being the result
of friendship and confidence in him.
Although the meeting is considered as
being of high Importance for Russia, it
cannot signify any change in Germany's
policy toward Japan or Russia.

Bringing to light and to justice the
corruption that exists In various places,
is OF hopeful promise. 1t is indicative Of
healthy public sentiment. Society and
politics and business are going to be
purer and decenter In this country from
this time forth. The rasesls and hum
bugs are going to be stamped with their
true character, no matter how respect
able their pretenses and how glittering
the robe of lofty sentiment with which
they cloak their infamy.
