REPORT THAT GAR YIELDS
One London Paper Hears That Liberal
Program Is Accepted
BY Associated Press.


LONDON, Oct. 3O.-The Daily Tele-
graphs st. Petersburg correspondent,
telegraphing Sunday night, says:
Il am informed that the emperor
has just accepted the liberal program,
appointed Count Witte premier and
given legislative powers to the repre-
sentative assembly, allowing represent
atives from all sections of the popuia-
tion to be elected to it and abolishing
martial law throughout the empire.
am further informed that the emperor
will issue a manifesto 10 the people
tomorrow"
In earlier dispatches the Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent describes the
autocrats like bulb of mercury fallen
from a height and shivered into little
pieces" and Russia as having become
an archipelago of political islands,
each Independent of the others, all deal
ing with public affairs with hardly any
reference of the will of the one all
powerful monarch"
"Anti-monarchial sentiments" the
correspondent goes on to say, (which
would have been a terrible crime two
months ago, are now in everybodys
mouth. The Russian people, suddenly
educated by events and sobered by
sense of responsibility, is able, willing
and determined henceforth to manage
it's affairs in its own way and without
interferences from above.
My belief is that if the authorities
abstain from violence the strike will
terminate next week because the So
cialists are waiting till the end of the
year for an armed insurrection, when
they will be fully be prepared"

ELK DRIVES WATCHMAN
UP A TELEGRAPH POLE
THEN cooLLY MOUNTS GUARD

Victim Compelled to Remain on the
Crossbars Until He Is Relieved
by the Animals Keepers, Who Go
to the Rescue

LOCKHAVEN, Pa, Oct. ga man.
moth bull elk last night drove an oil pa
trolman to the top of a telegraph pole in
the Otzinachson game preserves, at the
head waters of Rattlesnake run in the
upper end of the county, and kept him
there till he was rescued.
The elk, known as Billy" was
brought from the west with several 9TH
ers when the preserve was opened 10
or II years ago. He was vicious for
several years, but of late became gentle
and docile and more than friendly to
the keepers of the park. For the last
few months he has taken it into his
head that no strangers should be al
lowed within the inclosure, standing
guard over the park day and night.
The pipe line of the Standard Oil
company traverses the grounds and
last night Joe Anderson, a patrolman
for the pipe company, had to pass
through the park. Billy saw him and
at once attacked. The patrolman made
for the nearest telegraph pole, closely
followed by the elk. Anderson reached
the pole first and climbed out of i'm
mediate danger. The elk watched for
a time and then sought a clump of
bushes and lay down. Anderson
cautiously descended in hope that he
might escape unobserved. Billy evil
IDENTIFY had one eye open, for before
the man could reach the ground he
made another attack and drove his
prisoner up the pole again. After fu-
tile attempts to escape Anderson gave
it up and climbed to the crossbars of
the pole, expecting to put in a night
of it.
Anderson was expected at the club
house for supper and to remain over
night. When he did not appear the
men at the club became apprehensive
and a search was instituted. After
searching through the woods for an
hour or more they came across their
man perched high on the pole, with
Billy calmly lying at the bottom chew
ing his cud. The elk was driven away
and Anderson was rescued.

SAYS INSANITY is DECREASING
County Hospital Officials Surprised
at the Falling Off in Number
of Patients

No new cases of insanity have been
taken to the Los Angeles county hos
pital for some time and what is more
peculiar there is at the present none
but chronic insane patients in the
wards. This is condition that has
not existed in the county institution
in some years-as far back as the
oldest attache can remember.
The only cases that are what are
termed as new" are those of a young
married woman and Mary Arguello.
Neither case is considered very seri-
ously by the hospital authorities and
in fact they believe that both will be
discharged when their trials are held.
Ceases have been on the decrease
for the past six months" said Deputy
Sheriff Hubert, in discussing the
strange situation, they have gradually
diminished until there have practically
been no new cases within the past week
and the wards are empty, save for the
chronic cases."

TWENTY KILLED, SIXTY INJURED
Fierce Battle Between Students and

LONDON, Oct. SO.-A dispatch to the
Standard from Odessa timed p. m,
Oct. 90, says:
"A collision between the military and
a crowd Of students and strikers oc-
Cured an hour ago in Tyraspofoskaya
street. The soldiers, without warning,
fired point blank into the people, killing
10 and wounding so. The students are
holding a stormy conclave at the uni
versity.
TT is reported from Kieff that three
regiments have mutinied in the south
western provinces and there are alarm
ing reports here of the doubtful fidelity
of three battalions of infantry.
'I have had an interview with Gen.
KauIbars, commander in chief of the
Odessa military district, who said that
the position was a grave one, but that
he did not yet consider himself war
ranted in asking the authorities to
again impose martial law. His great
fear appears to be that a general attack
would be made on the Jews, in which
case, he said, he would use all the
forces at his command for their pro-
lection.

ernor, who seemed to be more nervous
about the situation, but who declined TO

DOMESTIC HAPPINESS
Philadelphia Clubwomen Ask Presl-

Solving Problem
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29.-To solve
the problem of domestic happiness, the
woman's club of this city will seek the
advice of President Roosevelt. His
ideas concerning the home appeal
strongly to the clubwomen who met
at the Aldine hotel.
DR.. Rachel Skidelsky, who brought
the subject to the attention of the club,
was asked to write to the president.
His reply may be read at the next meet
ing.
II think that we should do all in our
power to remedy the evil of husbands
leaving their wives" said DR.. Skidel-
sky. I'm my charitable work down.
town L find that nearly every appli-
cant for aid is grass widow. There
is something radically wrong. I think
that instead of giving money to the
women, we should try to reach the
men and punish them for desertion."
"If some of the women would make
themselves and their homes more at
tractive," said Mrs. Anna Loomis,
there would not be so many deser-
tions."
THAT is not permanent cure" said
several women in chorus. "There are
men who want wives just to cook their
meals"
A resolution condemning grade cross
ings and indorsing Mayor Weaver's
stand was adopted.

department from Spencer Eddy. the
american charge at st. Petersburg, who
SAID the situation was very alarming
Ine dispatch was the subject of long
conference between Secretary Root who
returned to the city from New York
early in the evening, and Mr.. Bacon,
the first assistant secretary. who has
been acting as the head of the state
department. during Mr.. Roots absence
Mr.. Eddy asked the department for
further instructions to meet any even
tualitles which might arise out of the
condltlon of affairs as they now exist
in st. Petersburg, and later in the
evening these were cabled to him. One
feature of these covers the question of
protection of Americans residing in st.
PETERSBURG IN case of a general upris-
ing, which might endanger their lives.
In the event of an outbreak they will
be accorded the protection of the Amer
lean legation until further arrange
ments can be made for their accomno-
dation, If such be found necessary. 1t
is not believed by the state department
ofhclals that there is any great num-
bers of Americans now in st. Peters,
burg, as most of the tourists have left
the country in anticipation of the win
ter season. Such as may be in the in
terror. 1t is thought, are not in any
danger.
The chartering of vessel and ma
tionalizing 1T by hoisting an American
flag to provide a refuge for Americans,
is rather an unusual proceeding and is
not resorted to except in cases of ex-
treme emergency, the state department
generally relying on the asylum af-
forded by the embassies and legations
as adequate in the premises. The Of
ficials hope that such a step will not be
necessary, but that the disorders will
soon quiet down and the safety of
Americans thereby assured.
Secretary Root declined tonight to |
give out the text of Mr.. Eddy's dis |
patch
In diplomatic circles the news from
Russia during the past few days has
caused a profound impression. Those
conversant with existing conditions in |
Russia were prepared to hear at any
time Of disorders growing out of the |
unsettled condition of affairs there, but |
they are amazed that they should have
grown to such magnitude and got al
most beyond the control of the govern
ment to suppress them While mem
bers of the diplomatic corps are not dis
posed to publicly make any expression
of their views it is evident that they
view with deep concern the events now
transpiring in the czar's empire.
Baron ROsen, the Russian ambassa-
dor, read with great interest the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches coming from
various parts of Russia tonight. He
would not discuss the news except to
say that he thought the disorders would
cease and the strike freak up gradu-

rangements for this sort of business,
Mather said, and that it is very gem
orally practiced by women, the women
delegates acknowledged. They went
so far as to say that club women
themselves are not above resorting to

BISHOPS REPORT TO
POPE ON TAFT'S VISIT
VATICAN LEARNS OF AFFAIRS
IN PHILIPPINES
Secretary Points Out That Any Dis
pute Over Rights of Church Must
Be Settled by the United States
Courts
BY Associated Press.

ROME, Oct 29.-The Vatican author
tiles have received reports from the
Philippines dealing especially with the
recent visit of Secretary of War Taft,
and his attitude toward Catholic in
terests in the island. The reports say
that Monsignor Ambrose Agius, the
papa1 delegate, called a meeting OF
bishops to discuss these interests with
the secretary. The latter complained
particularly that money which had
already been paid for the friars lands
had been taken out of the islands and,
according to the reports, recalled the
fact that Pope Leo and Cardinal Ram
polla had promised him during his visit
to Rome in 1902 that the money for the
lands would go to the benefit of the
church in the Philippines and not to
the religious orders
The bishops complained of the delay
in allowing them to retake their prop
erty, to which the secretary replied:
THE property and the rights of the
church must be observed and protected
by the government. Those rights when
in dispute unless settled by agree
ment must be determined by the courts
of justice, and the preservation of them
is the duty of the Philippine govern
ment not only by virtue Of the treaty
of Paris but by the constitution of the
CIllltu oIcISS
Secretary Taft advised Catholics to
go to the supreme court for the pur-
pose of regaining the property which
they claim from Archbishop Aglipay,
head of the Independent Filipino
church. The bishops complained that af-
ter asking one member Of the Philippine
commission to especially devote himself
to the protection of Catholic interests,
this has ont been done, not even by
Judge James F. Smith, although
Catholic. They urged the payment by
the Washington government of what
was due the Catholics for the oCcupa-
tion of church property by American
troops during the war and finally set
forth the need Of financial assistance
from the state for parochial schools.
The reports say that Secretary Taft,
who showed an intention totally or
partially to satify the other requests,
declared it was impossible to comply
with the last one, which was against
the spirit of the separation of church
and state, fundamental principle of
the United States constitution.
The reports express the hope that
there will be change in the situation
and that the question of justice to the
schools will be settled when these
schools are attended by majority of
the children. Such an outcome, it is
said. will mean economy for the state,
which will then require fewer schools.
