San Francisco, May ia third
class cruiser of the Japanese navy is

will, upon arrival, be detained here,
as was the Russian cruiser Lena, until
the end of the war on the Asiatic coast;
The Japanese cruiser is daily expected

been scouting in the Pacific. and, hav.

The. workmen seem determined to
make demonstration tomorrow. The
social revolutionists are scattering
broadcast the most incendiary proclama-
tions an dare also trying to terrorlze
the shopkeepers by sending them threats
to pillage their stores unless they
close up.
Many fantastic reports are in circu-
1ation to the effect that workmen are
drilling in the neighboring forests, test
ing bombs, ETC. Nevertheless, the au-
thorities appear quite confident, say
ing that the main danger is that the
agitators will force the workmen into
collisions with the police and troops.
( Several local societies have formally
requested the town council and Gov
ernor General Trepof to permit the
1workmen to meet, parade and make
s pacific demonstrations. General TreDoH
says he would be glad to agree to this
if he had any assurance that the hot
heads would not display red flags, sing
. revolutionary songs OF compei 1nCeIIeI
ence which is sure to lead to bloodshed.

The workmen at Kharkoff have pro-
claimed general strike for tomorrow

SEEKS DEATH; FAILS
New York Sun Special Service.

!.
Lockport, N. Y, May 1s.-Mrs: Caro-
line Truax, aged 81 years, failed in
three determined efforts to end her life
at Middleport last night. Imagining
her son, Andrew Truax, with whom she
lived, was trying to get her money,
about $4,000, and desert her, she first
cut her throat from ear to ear with a
razor. Her strength failed before she
was able to sever the jugular vein. Her
son caught her in the act and forcibly
bound up her wounded throat. Two
hours later she secured knife and half
severed her wrist in futile effort to
cut the artery and bleed to death. Later
she escaped from the house and threw
herself into shallow creek near by,
where she remained unconscious and
partly immersed in extremely cold water
for four hours. She was found at day
break and attending physicians say
she will recover.
