 In the morning of the day people came pouring into the town on foot, ou horseback and in all kinds of provincial vehicles. The Old South church filled at an early hour. The British authori- ties saw the rising tide of patriotic spirit and took alarm. A British officer met some other British officer on the common. He had basket of eggs or his arm.
 There will be great gathering oi the minute men today" said he, "and we have the authority to arrest the leaders Warren, Hancock and Adams Let us do it in the Old South church so as to impress the people. We must arrest them all at the same time in or, der to prevent mob violence. We must show our authority so as to overawe the people. We must have signal What shall it beY'

 He put the egg into the hands of the boy and said to the officer:
 That shall be our signal"
 When Warren arrived at the old South church in the black robes of the orator the yard and church were SC crowded that he could not enter by the door. A ladder was set for him on the outside. The people were greatly sur. prised to see his form in his black ora. torical robes rise before the great win. dow.
 He entered through the window. which may still be seen. and began his oration under inc sounding board of the pulpit, which still remainsy
 His soul took fire. His words burned and glowed. He swayed the hearts of the people. A British officer held up before him some bullets in his hand. and Warren dropped over them his white handkerchief. an act which a schoolboy might have repeated while reciting Warren's great oration. The British officers awaited the signal The boy was there trembling. In an out burst of eloqusnce the people pressed forward and almost crushed each other.

INDICATIONS POINT TO SERIOUS
ouTBREAKs IN RUSSIA ON
COMING MAY CAY.
MILITARY PROTECTION REQUESTED
APPEALS REACHING ST. PETERS,
BURG FROM ALL SECTIONS
OF THE EMPIRE.

st. Petersburg, April 15.-Develop-
ments all point to a crisis in the
present agitation among the workmen
In the cities and the peasants in the
country on May day and appeals are
pouring in from all quarters OF Rus
sic for military protection. The st.
Petersburg wOrkmen are preparing
great demonstration. % rms and
bombs In large quantities have been
smuggled in and bloodshed on a large
scale is feared. Wealthy persons who
ordinarily go to villas on the islands
of the Neva or to neighboring country
places this year are going abroad.
The government has taken few special
measures to meet the situation, evil
IDENTIFY relying on the troops and po-
lice to guard the capital. The latter
are extremely active All the promi-
nent agitators are being arrested or
have already been sent back to the
villages from which they originally
came. The prisons are filled to over
flowing.
There have been fresh disputes be-
tween the workmen and the managers
of the Putiloff, Baltic and NevsN
works and between the employees and
the management of the government
cartridge factory. At the latter place
the men refuse to continue to donate
any portion of their pay 10 assist in
the support of families of soldiers at
the front, claiming that the money is
used to prosecute the war, to which
they are opposed.
The news received from the interior
Is alarming, especially from the Bal
tic provinces, where the entire popu-
lation is in a state of intense excite
ment. The cities are being flooded
with revolutionary proclamations call
ing on the people to rise on May day.
The criminal classes are taking ad-
vantage of the situation to pillage and
plunder, while In the country the land
lords are powerless to cope with the
peasants and demand the stationing
of troops at every station.
Private adviees from Reval, govern
ment of Esthonia, say the police are
following their old practice of divid-
ing the population against itself. They
are trying to excite the natives against
the Germans and the position of the
latter is becoming so alarming that
many are going abroad.

STRIKE MAY BE SETTLED.
Conference at Chicago of Parties In
terested.

Chicago, April ia more hopeful
outlook for the settlement OF the
Montgomery Ward teamsters and gar
ment workers strike developed dur
ing the day. Labor leaders and an
attorney representing the Employing
Tailors' association held conference
with Mayor Dunno and as result 1t
was stated that Montgomery Ward &
Co. were willing to take back the
striking garment workers. The point
upon which settlement would hinge
was the basis upon which the garment
workers would be taken back. Presl-
dent Cornelius P. Shea of the Team
sters' union, President Dold of the
Chicago Federation of Labor and
President +. H. Rickett of the gar
ment workers represented the strik-
ers in the conference. Attorney j..
Isaacs spoke for the Employing Tail
ors' association. After the conference,
which was preliminary, Attorney
Isaacs left to confer with the employ
ers previous to returning again to the
mayor.

on REQUEST OF PROSECUTION.
Indictment for Conspiracy Against
Nan Patterson dismissed.


New York, April 15.-The indict-
ment charging Nan Patterson with
conspiracy with J. Morgan Smith and
Mrs. Smith wrongfully TO obtain
money from Caesar Young was dis
missed in the court of general ses-
sions at the request of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Rand. Counsel for the
Smiths demurred to the indictment
against the Smiths and declared that
the facts alleged against them did not
constitute a crime. The court re-
served decision in that case. Counsel
for the Smiths endeavored to secure
the return of property taken from the
Smiths but failed.
Miss Patterson, who is about to be
tried again for the murder of Caesar
Young, was brought into court with
the Smiths. Mr. Rand told the court
that a mistake had been made in
drawing up the indictment against
Miss Patterson and that 1t tended TO
prejudice her position in the capital
case. In asking for the dismissal of
the indictment against her he reserved
right to resubmit. Miss Patterson was
then remanded back to the Tombs
prison. The effect of the action will
be to prevent her counsel from get
ting at the grand jury minutes, which
might have aided in her defense.

Toxic. April 15.-It is reported that
the main force of the Russians, which
retired In the direction of Hsingking,
has reached Kirin. The rear guard.
which is estimated at 10000 men,
continues In the vicinity of Harlung-
cheng, closely in touch with the Japa-

which retired from Kaiyuan over the
Kirin road. is reported at Kirin, with
q rear guard of 5000 men at Itsuchow,
Haklusu and at Sulipao, keeping in

at 10000 men has been detailed to
occupy Fenchua and 5000 to hold
Pamiencheng the latter force seems
assigned to check and retard the

vensky's squadron is believed by the
intelligence division of the German
navy department to be lying off the
Culos islands. eighty miles south of
Mindoro, Philippine islands, recoaling
and preparing for the last stage of
its long voyage. Although these isl
ands belong to the United States
they have fine anchorages outside the
three-mile limit. with hard bottom at
twenty to twenty-five fathoms.

ceived in a telegram during the day
from one OF the East Indian ports an
indication that the Russians, when
OF the southern end of Cochin-C China
April IL. changed their course and
headed on course which would bring
them to the Cuyos islands, in the
northern part of the Sulu sea. 800
miles distant, in four days at the rate
of eight knots an hour. The Cuyos
islands lie tactically In such posi-
tion that the approaches can easily
be watched by the Russian scouts.

been detached presumably for diver
sion ON the coast of Japan, probably
In the hope of calling OF Admiral

READY TO FACE CONSEQUENCES
Germany Will Carry Out Plans Re.
garding Morocco.

Berlin, April 15.-Count Won Tatten-
bach-Ashold, who has been appointed
temporary charge of Germany in Mo
rocco, has given the correspondent of
the I.okal AnZeiger at Fez, where the
count is arranging for special Ger
man-Moroccan treaty, a declaration or
Germanys policy towards Morocco
1T is not only Germany's right"
the count says, "but also her imme-
diate and undeniable duty to protect
and develop her Moroccan interests.
While she energetically demands for
the powers signatories at the confer
ence held at Madrid in 1880 frank
recognition of the open door policy
Germany insists on the preservation
of the sultan's sovereignty and the
independence of Morocco, especially
because both are mentioned vaguely
in the Franco-British agreement and,
therefore, pernSit legitimate doubt on
this subject.
"Germany's programme of action,
which stands on a sound and ire
proachable footing, is, fortunately,
generally supported by public opinion
in Germany and has the sympathy OF
the whole Spanish population, includ-
ing the Liberal party, and the ap-
proyal of all the unprejudiced powers.
Therefore. Germany may confidently
carr. out her plans and can fearlessly
face the consequences, whatever they
may be.

DEEP SNOW IN MOUNTAINS.
President May Be Compelled to Post
pone Colorado Hunt.

Newcastle, Colo, April 15.-With
the snow swo feet deep in every direc-
ton from the camp and from three
to five feet deep in the hills, with the
snow storm still continuing, it is pos
sible that President Roosevelt will be
compelled to delay his hunt here or
content himself with smaller game
than the grizzlies he has planned to
kill For a week now the snow has
fallen day after day. Not twenty
four hours have passed without its
storming. All that prevents the roads
and trails from being absolutely inn
passable is the warm weather that
has intervened and to great extent
melted the snow.
P. B. Wells, a Meeker (Colo.)
hunter, who is ornNf the party, has
just arrived here. . took him nearly
five hours to make the twenty miles
ride from Camp Roosevelt and his
horse was worn TO exhaustion when
he reached here.
"The weather Is at least ehrea
weeks behind the normal he said.
"There has been an unusual amount
of snow here this winter, but not in
ten years have | seen the conditions
SO bad as this season.

About Rheumatism.

There are few diseases that infiict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is no disease for which such vari-
ed and useless lot OF remedies have been
suggested. TO say that it can be cured
is. therefore, bold statement to make,
but Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which
enjoys an extensive sale, has met with
great success in the treatment of the
disease. One application OF Pain Balm
will relieve the pain, and hundreds OF
sufferers have testified to permanent

it not benefit every organ OF the sys-

collects in the system? Is not regulat-
ing the bowels beneficial to the entire

the proper condition of health? If SO,
why should it not be just as necessary
to open up the seven million pores in
