More Workmen Walk out.

St. Petersburg, February 10, d2:S5 a. m0 The men in two more factories, one of which is a small concern employing only 300 hands, ceased work yesterday, and more of the employees of the Butiloff Iron works joined the strikers. The renewal of the strike, however, has not yet gained a threatening form. and the general mass Of the workmen, though somewhat res- tive, are not showing a troublesome dis position At the Putiloff works about one third of the force are said to have quit work at the expiration of the eight-hour shift, quietly laying down their tools and walking out. Two battalions of troops are stationed at the works, but there has not b zen the slightest disorder.
 Four other establishments are adle, but the rumors of a strike of the government arsenal which were circulated yesterday, are positively denied.
 The manufacturers were again in ses- sion yesterday but came to no definite conclusion on the question in dispute. It is practically certain that the wakes of unski1led labor, which are rather low, will be materially raised, thus satisfying a large mass of ignorant men who are easily influenced by their leaders.

SAMUEL M'CUE MUST DIE
 ON THE GALLONS TODAY
Little Daughter of the Condemned Man Goes Richmond and Makes Last Plea to Governor Montague to Spare Her
 Fathers Lfe-Execution Early This Morning.

Washington February 9.-Justice Har- today, denied application for a writ of error in the case of J. Samuel McCue. the former mayor of Charlottesville, Va. who is under sentence of death, and is to be hanged tomorrow for the murder of his wife.
 Justice Harlan based his denial on the ground that no federal question was pre- sented in the application for his writ. His formal endorsemnt on the applica- ton was as follows:
 'The record presented to me discloses no ground whatever for a review of the judgment of the supreme court of Vir- ginia by the supreme court Of the Uni ted States The application for writ of error is therefore denied"
 Counsel for McCue, Marvin Smithey, of Richmond, ! as 1t the supreme court early today in his efforts to secure the writ, but as the court was not In ses- sion he was compelled to make applica- ton to an individual justice of the court He then sought Chief Justice Fuller and went to the latter's house at 3 o'clock. When he reached there he was informed that the Chief Justice was i'll. MT. Fuller referred MT. Smithey to Justice Harlan. The ground of the application for the writ presented by McCue's counsel was that McCue did not have a fair trial as guaranteed by the constitution.

came to the city today accompanied by her uncle. Edward c. McCue, and her aunt Mrs. Rhodes, and made an nppeal to the governor for her fathers life. The Governor was much affected by the chiid's appeal, and told the little girl 1.e would consider the matter. He also said to Mir McCue who is a lawyer and one of the prisoners counsel, that he (McCue) would understand his attitude toward the judiciary of the state.
 Referring to the grounds advanced for executive intervention in the McCue case Governor Montague tonight said:
 'These questions not only belong to judicial determination, but have actually been disposed of by the lower court and twice passed on by the supreme court or appeals after exhaustive examination"
 q am unauthorized" said he, ito re- verse this procedure and these judg- ments."
 What about the plea of insanity?" was asked.
 "Nothing whatever has been presented to me tending to establish the insanity of MT. McCuep
 There is no reason to suppose that the execution of the sentence in McCues s case will be interfered with in any way.
 A special from Charlottesville says that the execution will take place at o'clock tomorrow morning.
 McCue this evening said farewell for the last time to his children and rela- tives. Breathing an atmosphere of in- tense religious fervor he professes to see nothing in his approaching end but a grateful release.

M. G0RKY REMAINS
 WELL AND CHEERFUL
IS DAILY CONDUCTED BEFORE THE PRocURAToR, WHERE HE IS SUBJECTED TO RIGOROUS EXAMINATION BY OFFICIALS.

St. Petersburg, February 10, 12:35 a. m.- The Associated Press representative was able yesterday afternoon tc see Maxim Gorky, and can assure the author s friends that he is well and cheerful.
 The procurator of the court of appeals who is conducting the investigation of the charges of high treason against Gorky. refused the Associated Press per mission to converse with the prisoner. as it is contrary to law to allow one ex- cept relatives and counsel to visit politi cal prisoners.
 At noon closed carriage. in which sat Gorky muff1ed in furs and attended by a gendarme. drove out of the grim por- tai of the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, and proceeded at a rapid trot to a lonely building beyond the Tauride palace. three miles distant, where Gorky. Ked- rine and the three professors who were arrested with them are almost daily con veyed and interrogated by the procura- tors assistant. The Associated Press fol- lowed and saw Gorky alight and enter the premises, where he remained several hours. An officer of the gendarmes said:
 "Gorlxy does not betary the slightest sign of Encouragement. He Is cheerful and talktative, and retains the fullest composure during the long .nterrogations. Indeed, he is so self-possessed that he seems more like the examiner than the examined"
 Absolute secrecy Is still maintained re- garding the exact nature of the charge against Gorky, but It is believed that it is an alleged attempt to induce troops to mutiny and to stir up revolt of work men. It has not yet been decided whether he will be tried by a military of civil court; but 1t Is practically certain that the charges made against him do not in- yoIve the death penaltv

 DIFFERENT VIEWS
ONE GROUP OF SEABoARD STOCK HOLDERS ENDORSE THE RYAN BLAIR PLAN AND ANOTHER OPPOSES THE PROPOSITION.

Baltimore, February 9.-The Baltimore committees of stockholders of the Sea- board Air Line railway met in this city today One endorsed the Blair-Ryan plan and the other announced it's policy of opposition.

 This committee issued a statement de- claring It's support of the consideration and deposit known as the "Blair-Ryan plan" IIhe committee states that the expenditure of s7,5OooO0 is necessary to place the seaboard Air Line in good con dition. A member of this committee said that it's action will influence between 10000 and 9o,00O shares.
 The other pooling committee is com posed of c. Ruhstrat. c. Morton Stewart and James L. Sellman of Baltimore and Frederick E. Nolling of Richmond, Va. This committee issued a statement deny ing specifically the currency of publi- ction that the opposition to the Blair Ryan plan is confined virtually to J. Skeleton Williams alleging that MT. Wil- Hams does not control or influence the committee in any manner.
 The sole aim of the committee IS said to be 'the protection of sixty thousand shares of stock now behind it, and other stock whose holders may decide to re- sent tn. surrender of their rights
 The statement concludes as follows;
 we are willing to meet Messrs Ryan and Blair or their representatives at any time in a friendly and businesslike spirit but we are not to be bulldozed or in- timidated by anybody"

Managers Agree to Pay.

Lodz. February 9.-At the Coates thread mills and many other establishments the strikers today were paid three days wages as an advance, although 1t was claimed that nothing was legally due them. The managers of Heintzel's mill refused to pay anything, and the work men threatened to wreck the place. The military prepared to fire, and for a mo- ment the situation was extremely grave, but the manager finally yielded and agreed to pay provided the men promised to return to work on Monday. Another manager refused payment to the strikers, but at the point of a revolver was com pelled to promise payment tomorrow. Elm ployers are paying only as a matter of expediency.
 The manufacturers were in conference all day, and had frequent conferences with the governor general.
 There were serious disturbances today at Pabianice. The troops fired on the workmen, killing one and woundng two.
 Pabianice is on the Dobrzynka river, and is the seat of cotton, wooen and wall paper manufactories.

TELEGRAPH COMPANIES
 ARE OUT OF BUSINESS.

Both telegraph companies are com pletely out of business as were the long distance lines of the telephone company and the city was entirely cut off from the outside world. During the whole of yes- terday and last night the Associated Press did not succeed in getting a line o1 news into the city and Atlantans who read their papers over thei- breakfasts this morning knew no more of what hap pened in the world yesterday than news paper readers knew in the days before Morse made his great discovery.
 There has been much suffering from the cold and wet and physicians fear an epidemic of pneumonia as result or the exposure which the lack of transportation facilities has forced on the business pop ulation but so 4ar no loss of life has been reported as due to weather conditions.
 Business has been paralyzed, all social affairs have been called off, and even funerals postponeu.

Electric Currents Are Cut Off Stopping Street Cars and
 Lighting Systems EGGS AND CHICKENS ARE AT PROH|BITIVE PRICES Six Thousand Telephones in the City are Reported Out of Service, and Traffic of All Kinds Is
 Delayed.

Atlanta, aG., February 9.-(Special by Fast Maii.)-All weather records were smashed in Atlanta yesterday. Though the temperature was nothing extreme, the rain which fell throughout the day froze as 1t fell and completed the work begun by the sleet of Saturday and Sum day.
 The city was completely tied up throughout the day. Neither afternoon paper carried a line of telegraph matter and the Constitution appeared this morn ing with a seven column line across the front page announcing that not line in 1t had reached the office by wire.
 Street cars stood still throughout the day and last night the city was in al- most total darkness. Falling trees and poles had made such a tangle of wires outside the district where they are un- derground that the city authorities re- fused to allow the current to be turned into the mains for fear of scattering death and confiagration.

IN MEMORY OF
 OLDEST INHABlTANT.

Postal Telegraph company reports smi- lar damage, and its officials here confirm the report that Atlanta seems to have been the center of the storm troubles
 Locally the situation is about the worst fin the memory of the oldest inhabitants Besides the damage to wires in the city, the loss to the shade trees has been enor- nous. The ice-laden branches have bent and broken in every part of the city.
 Immense trees have been torn up by the roots and have fallen across the wires delaying and shutting off completely all street car traffic lighting and telephone communication. The street car company has reported itself ready to move cars whenever the city authorities give the word. but this has been withheld on account of the danger of crossed wires of less voltage hanging over the trolley wires. 5000 telephones are reported "out of use.' Nearly. or quite 200 telephone poles are down in various sections of the city, and days. perhaps weeks. must eiapse before normal conditions can be resumed Practically the entire systems of the two local telephone companies must be reconstructed.
 The electric lighting system of the city was also put out of commission Sunday. The danger to life and property made 1t unsafe to allow 1t to be continued, even where the equipment was in order, and inc current was ordered shut off. It is

THOUSANDS OF TELEGRAPH
 POLES ARE BLOWN DOWN.

Atlanta, February 9.-(By Special Mes senger to The ge-Herald)-Atlanta Is cut If from the rest of the world by wire communication as completely as If no wires had been strung, and the telegraph and telephones had never been invented. This condition has existed until night, and many days must elapse before wire communication will resume normal condi- tions Locally the street car system is completely knocked out, and not a wheel has turned since midnight of Tuesday. No electric lights have been In use in the city outside of the immediate center of the city, where the wires are run under ground. Since Sunday night, with the ex- ception of brief period between the storm of Sunday and that which followed on Tuesday afternoon and night Railroad communication has been in much better shape, but as no wires have been avail able for the management of trains. the schedules have been uncertainty main- tained and trains have been arriving from a few minutes to te hours late.
 In Atlanta at the present writing, noon Thursday, the city Is cut off completely from the rest of the world telegraphically, both companies being without a wire to points beyond the limits of their opera ting rooms. Southern Superintendent Lavine of the Western Union reports this morning Lne pOSSlDlllty Ol IedcHlIB Out- side points by tonight, but he says that within his Jurisdiction, fully three thous- and poles are down. c. H. Bristol, gem eral superintendent of construction of the Western Union Telegraph company. has arrived from New York to take charge of the situation, bringing with him about two hundred men, beside large quantities of material for repairs and reconstruction. Neither officer will venture an estimate of the damage caused by the two storms of seet which came so close together. The damage caused by the storm of Sun day had been largely overcome when the second storm came, undoing all repair work that had been made and adding enormously to the original damage
 The company reports that the most se- rious damage seems to have been done in the vicinity of Atlanta, although the meager reports from Memphis and New Orleans indicate that the territory west of Georgia has been severe sufferer.
