OUTLOOK CLEARING
IN RUSSIAN TROUBLE
Believe Witte Will Yet Master
the Situation.
UNION APPEALS TO STAND FIRM
Leaders of Workmen, Who Realized
Their Unpreparedness For Struggle,
Have Convinced Many That II Would
Be unwise to Strike.

Sit. Petersburg, Tuesday Morning
Dec. II, via Eydtkuhnen, East Prus
sia, Dec. 13.-The restoration of cable
communication with points abroat
yesterday lasted only a few hours
Before midnight it was reported tla
the cable was cut and that dispatches
must again be forwarded by couriel
via the German frontier. Nevertheless;
the outlook is clearing. The govern
ment is breathing freer with a fighting
chance that Premier Witte will yet be
able to steer mis- way through the rocks
which beset his party The threat of q
general strike in the immediate fu
ture Las disappeared and the telegraph
strike not being supported is going tC
pieces in spite of the Wild appeals OF
the union to stand firm.
At Moscow the tie-up remains com
plete, but many other places of com
munication has been reopened. The
employees of both the telegraph and
postal services, who were discharged
by the wholesale for refusing to work
are cutting the wires wherever it is
possible to do so. The leaders of the
workmen and other proletariat organ
izations realizing fully their weakness
and lack of preparation for a decisive
struggle have carried the day over the
hot-headed strikers and have easily
convinced the majority that it would
be an irretrieyable blunder to pros
titute what they regard as the supreme
instrument for forging a free nation
by using it for a minor issue like re,
dressing the grievances of private in
dividuals. In registering this decision
they placed themselves on record "to
continue the organization and equip
ment of the fighting legions which the
old president, Kructaleff, begun"
The workmen's council yesterday
sent demand to Count Witte for the
release of NJ Krustaleff. Later the
workmen's delegates called on Procu-
ratOr Kamis1ansky and demanded his
release, but the procurator refused
bluntly, saying tnat the case must be
tried in court
The disappearance Of the danger of
a general strike seems to insure the
government certain period in which
to vfndicate itself and demonstrate
that it is striving to realize the new
order of things. The members OF
Count Whites cabinet distinctly deny
That the government has entered on
the path of reaction, but they say
that the present state of anarchy can
not go on.
The situation in the Baltic prov
inces is now the most grave of the
empires conditions. It approaches
civil war and the government was
forced to appoint governor general
with sweeping administrative powers
to try to restore, order. All the orders
in these provinces 1ave been placed
under his command.

Insurance Man Under Arrest.

Rome, Ga, Dec. 13.-G. w. Hallett,
a well-known insurance man of Rome,
with an Office in the Masonic Temple
building, was arrested Tuesday by
Deputy Sheriff Broacn upon warrant
charging him with issuing bogus in
surance policies. The warrant was
sworn out at the instance of a repre-
sentative of the Georgia Cooperative
Fire Insurance company, who came to
Rome to adjust" the loss sustained
by the fire which seriously damaged
the Echols residence on the night OF
Nov 12 Through Hallett Ecnols
thought that he was obtaining bona
fide policy, and applied to the agent
who issued him policy No. 1887, ap-
parently in the regular way, for 5000
and had paid to Hallett the premiums.

JAPANESE AIM TO
EXPAND INDUSTRY
All Efforts are Turned in That
Direction.
SETTLED TO REGULAR WORK
Dissatisfaction Over Peace at Ports
mouth Only Temporary-FeeI Great
Gratitude Toward American People.
Togo to Visit United States.

New York, Dec. 13.-Lloyd Griscom,
United States minister to Japan, ar
rived in this city, coming by way of
San Francisco on a snort leave of alb
sence. Last night he talked interest
ingly about Japan, her condition after
the war and the present prospects in
the far east.
Since the war, Mr.. Griscom said, the
Japanese people have settled down to
their regular occupations. The govern
ment is busy paying off its war debts
and adjusting its finances. The whole
aim of the Japanese is toward indus
trial expansion at present. All efforts
are turned in that direction. AS to
the after peace rioting Mr. Griscom
said that the dissatisfaction over the
peace of Portsmouth was merely tenn
porary and has become unimportant
now. The feeling of discomfort has
entirely disappeared and the Japanese
people feel great gratitude toward the
American people and particularly to
President Roosevelt for bringing about
peace. The mikado issued an edict
telling the people that there was a gov
ernment caring for their interests and
advising them to attend to their regu-
lar occupations. The people obeyed
as they obey everything emanating
from the mikado. Mr.. Griscom de-
clared emphatically that after the ex-
element due to the first news from
Portsmouth had subsided the people
sided unanimously with the govern
ment and recognized the wisdom of
making peace with Russia. He was
asked about Korea and the Japanese
protectorate.
Korea is not strictly in my prov
ince," he said, "and although l saw
Marquis Ito shortly before his depart
ure from Japan to Korea, the Korean
question has developed since l left
Japan. People in the United States
are better informed concerning Korea
than I am.
''I saw Admiral Togo frequently be-
fore my departure from Japan" the
minister said. HE told me that he
intended to visit the United States
with his fleet next autumn, after first
paying visit to England, Japans ally.
I told him to CO. that ne would be cor.
daily received, as the American peo-
pie are always glad to welcome
brave man"
Mr.. GriscOm intends to go on to
Washington in a day or two. His de-
parture from this city has been delay
ed by cold brought on by the change
to the American climate. He had not
decided just when he will return to
Japan.

POLICY HOLDERS TO ORGANIZE
Committee Is Named to Perfect Plans
For February Meeting.

Atlanta, Dec. 13.-Georgia policy
holders of the New York Life and Mu.
tual Life Insurance companies, after
Wrangling through two long meetings
on the question as to whether they
should or should not send their prox-
les to or cooperate with Thomas w.
Lawson of Boston, passed resolutions
providing for permanent organization
for the protection Of their interests
and appointed a committee of five to
formulate plans for meeting to be
held the second Tuesday in February.
at which time permanent organization
to be known as the Policy Holders
Protective Society of Georgia, shall.
be perfected.
Lawson was eliminated entirely
from the resolutions, and although the
one issue of the meeting was declared
to be Lawson or anti-Lawson, that one
issue was never brought to a direct
vote, but Lawson was left to be taken
into consideration or not, as the policy
holders see fit at the February meet.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 13.-The
mixing house at the works of the Du

miles north of the city, were accident
ally blown up at 1880 o'clock today
instantly killing five workmen. The

David Coghill.

John Dixon.
Nat Knox
The four first named were white
men, while Knox was a negro.
The force of the explosion was fear
sui and was felt for miles around
while the noise was heard in Birming
ham. The victims were blown to at
oms, particles of their bodies being
found in tree tops long distance from
the scene of the disaster.
Details received up to noon were
meager and the full extent of the
damage is not yet known.

New York, Dec. 13-The trial OF
Abraham Hummel, one of New York
most widely known lawyers, on the
charge of conspiracy, was on the cal
endar before Justice Rogers in the su.
preme court today. The charge
against Hummel grew out of the sen
sational Dodge-M Morse divorce litiga
ton, in which it was alleged tnat
Hummel entered into conspiracy to
