st. Petersburg. Dec. 4.-The city re-

The telegraph and postal tie-up re-
mains complete. Soldiers and en-
ployes of other departments are being
used to deliver portions of the vast ac-
emulation of mail.
The authorities profess confidence
that the strike will be broken in a few
days, but the basis of their optimism
is not stated The immolation of in
terror minister Dournovo seems to offer
a way of retreat for the government
This involves another surrender be-
fore the victorious proletariat
Count Witte Is not convinced that
the emperor, by acceding to the de-
mand for universal suffrage, may still
find common ground on which the
government and the moderates and
the extreme elements can stand II
this fails to stay the headlong march
of events the proclamation of a ready
made constitution might be tried as
the last card. Then nothing would re-
main except the proclamation of die
tatorship.
Competent judges believe that die
tatorship, while 1t might restrain the
rising flood temporarily, would only
increase the dimensions of the cata-
clysm, and when the dam goes, sweep
the government and dynasty away to
common ruin.
A decision was reached to grant
practically universal. secret and equal

Count Witte refused to Yield direct
suffrage to the country districts where
there will be a double set of electors.

STILL AFTER JAMES
Legislature VIII Be Asked to Invest
igate Management of Oregon
Prison.

Again, but this time in the form of
petition to the Legislature, comes
the charges Of misadministration
against uperintendent G. w. James
and Warden Frank Curtis of the pen
itentiary, which will be presented to
the Senate this morning bearing the
signature of Attorney L. H. Mahon,
of Salem. The petition will probably
be introduced by either Senator
Howe or Senator Wright and another
will doubtless be presented to the
House of Representatives later in the
day.
The petition contains substantially
the same charges against the head
officials of the prison as were con
tanned in the communication from
Mr.. McMahon as published by the
Statesman about year ago. They
are also the same as the charges made
in the recent action brought by J. X.
Sears in the circuit court against the
prison management.
In substance the petition charges
the wrongful application of about
$4,000 Of the penltentiary betterment
fund by Superintendent James to his
personal use, in the purchase of furni-
ture and provisions for his house
hold and that of Warden Curtis and
that the two officials have been using
the convicts as menials about their
