STRIKE IS ORDERED
RUSSIA ON THE EVE OF THE
FINAL STRUGGLE.
Government and the Proletariat Have
Lined Up for Battle far the Mastery.
R~ojestvensky Arrives Home and is
Warmly Welcomed.


st. Petersburg, Dec. 20.-A call for
q general political strike throughout
Russia, to begin tomorrow at noon,
has beer issued. The call Is approved
by the Union Of Unions, the Union OF
Peasants, the General Railway union
and the Councils of Workmen of st.
Petersburg and Moscow. A response
received from the railroad men OF
Moscow is unanimous for a strike.
The leaders have declared their abil-
ity to stop every railroad in Russia.
The strike order renders every
member of the unions signing 1t liable
to arrest and punishment under the
new strike law, and Minister Of the
Interior Durnovo attempted to tele.
graph orders to Moscow to arrest
members of the railway unions and
of the workmen's council, but the dis
patches were held up by the railroad
te%legraphers.
Admiral ~Rojestvensky and the chief
members Of his staff arrived here.
The admiral, whose head was still
swathed in bandages, gave evidence
OF the strain and mental suffering he
has undergone. He was visibly
pleased with the hearty welcome he
received from a large crowd, which
included many students and workmen,
but he merely doffed his hat, and
without speaking hurried to a cab.
The council at Tsarskoe Selo con.
cluded its sitting without arriving at
a decision regarding the election law.
The choice rests between two projects
one for limited and the other for
universal suffrage, and both indirect.

STATE SENATOR is INDICTED.
Kansas Official Is Accused of BribinE
Federal Land Inspector.

Topeka, Dec. 1S.-The grand jury,
which has been investigating land
frauds in Kansas, returned an indict.
ment against State Senator F. Du'
mont Smith on the charge Of influenc.
ing a federal officer to neglect his
duties. Five other indictments were
returned.
Smith is state senator from a dis.
trict in the southwestern corner Of
ties. He Is charged jointly with his
law partner, Roscoe Wilson, with con-
spiracy to violate the federal law
which provides a penalty for influence
ing for a consideration any govern
ment official on any matter then pend
ing before the official.
1t is alleged in the indictment that
Smith and Wilson, for a considera-
ton, influenced the opinion and &C.
tions Of T. E. Ryan, formerly special
agent in the government land office in
land fraud cases which he was in.
vestigating in Hodgeman county, Kan
sas. According to the allegations the

consideration were approached by
Wilson, who told them that he and
Senator Smith could FIX 1t up" IL
they would raise the sum of $2,5 500.
This was raised and divided equally
between Smith, Wilson and Ryan, the
government agent. 1t is alleged that
Ryan then reported to his superiors
that he had investigated the cases
and found that the four men who con
tributed the money were not guilty OF
making fraudulent entries of land in
Hodgeman county and that there was
no evidence to warrant their arrest.

BY signs such as this did the ma

The United stctes government saw
the need OF an ehfcient weather bu-
reau ser-ice IN 1870. Long before this.
Benjamin Franklin had discovered the
law OF storms. He found out that
storms were the result OF certain nat
N 4 conditions. Other scientists fol-
lowed up the clue and discovered what
these conditions were and could accu-
rately forecast the condition OF the
