 York Taken Up.
 New York, Dec. 1.-The legislative life insurance Investigating committee appeared tonight to have succeeded in its attempt to make Thomas F. Ryan divulge what E. H. Hartman said or threatened to do to influence him to di- vide his control of the Equitable Life Assurance society. District Attorney William T. Jerome, who was asked by the committee to take steps to punish MT. Ryan Flor refusing to answer the questions about Mir. Hartman, report ed to the committee to-day that. he had informed M.. Ryans counsel that MT. Ryan ought to answer. MT. Jerome also wrote to the committee that he was satisfied that MT. Ryan would answer if brought before the committee again.
 Mir. Ryan, who bought 5O2 shares of the stock of the Equitable Life Assur- ance society last summer and placed them in trust to be voted by three trustees of whom Grover Cleveland is one, was on the witness stand before the insurance Investigating committee last Friday. He testified that on the day he got possession of the Equitable stock D. H. Hartman, president of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific rail- roads, and director of the Equitable society, asked him for share os the stock What MT. Hartman said to, him to induce him to part with that Stock Mir. Ryan refused to say.
 The specific questions which MT. Ryan declined to answer were:
 Did Mir. Hartman say there would be any result injurious to your inter ests in case you refused to admit him to share in the ownership?"
 Also: Did he say that any action on the part of the legislature or of any of fieial, any officer of the government, would be taken in the event that you refused to accede to his request"
 Chairman Armstrong directed MT. Ryan to answer and, when he persist ently refused, asked MT. Jerome to punish him. At the conclusion of to- days hearing Senator Armstrong made public a letter from Mir. Jerome In which the district attorney wrote in substance as follows: /.
 T reached the conclusion that as a matter of law MT Ryan should answer the questions proposed to him, although at first their materialfty might appear doubtful.
 Believing, however, that the object of your committee in calling my atten- tion to the matter was to secure the testimony rather than the punishment of Mir. Ryan sent to Mir. Ryan's coun- sel, Paul D. Crayath. and informed him

Keefe, A. c. Moore and John A. Mofflt discussed with the pres ident to-day questions of immigration. The committee represented the immi- grafton conference held in New York last week, and presented to the presi- dent transcript of the proceedings, including the resolutions of the confer ence.
 While no details of the conference were disclosed, it is known that the members of the committee discussed with the president the immigration question with special reference to the exclusion of Chinese. The discussion was purely informal and no decision was reached.
 The members of the committee ex- pressed a desire that the president should give consideration to the action of the New York conference. This he promised to do.

 Great Military Camp.
 St. Petersburg, Sunday, Dec. 1O'-via Eydtkuhnen, East Prussia, Dec. H. The situation is exceedingly ominous. Public opinion is practically unanimous that the government has entered upon the fatal path of reaction and that Witte's ministry must fall. Reaction and revolution confront each other ill a death struggle. Both General Trepoff and General Count Ignatieff, according to the popular impression, are belnS held in reserve to execute the pro sramme of repression. It is again sald that the entire Cossack strength or 400 00O will be mobilized in supreme effort to crush the revolutionary forces.
 General Parsensoff said: T think we are coming to rivers of blood in which the revolutionary party will lose their game and Russia. her liberty"
 Certainly the appearance of St. Pet ersburg and the events here to-day seemed to justify this black picture of the future. The capital resembles g. great military camp. The patrols ev- anywhere were doubled and grim look ing cannon rumbled through the streets. What happened smacl1ed strangely of the old regime. A large workmens meeting was dispersed by Cossacks. The building in which the executive committee of the League of Leagues meet was surrounded by troops and no one was permitted to enter it, the colonel in command reply ing to all inquiries, q have my orders. :" At the same time a vast meeting Of ''loyalists" was freely permitted at which speeches were made extolling the emperor and the government.
 To cap the climax, the funeral of of Lieutenant General Sakharoff for- rner minister of war, who was assassin ated at Saratoff, December 5, with an Imposing array of military representing all arms of the service, artillery, horse guards with their shining cuirasses and helmets and foot soldiers, passed up the Nevsky Prospect between. sulien crowds ,.
 The remnants of the worlSmen's coun- cil with delegates from the railroad mems union and other organizations, are holding meeting tonight to de- eide the question of a general strike.
 If the government deliberately plans 8 challenge now, it has chosen it's time well, as the funds of the organization are low and many workmen are tired of the strike and of starvation. It is understood that when M. Krustaleff was arrested yesterday a cash box con- taining $4,00O was captured. Neverthe- less, some of the leaders have lashed themselves into fury and are urging that the governments challenge must be immediately accepted,

EYE WITNESSES OF MASsACREs
Five Hundred Russian Refugees Arrive ... -PitffuI Stories.


 E New York, Dec. Hive hundred Russian refugees, many of them eye witnesses of the massacres in Odessa and other Russian cities, disembarked here to-day from the steamers Patricia and Chemnitz. Some of them told graphic and pitiful stories of their ex- periences. Jews who had themselves lain hidden in Odessa's houses while mobs searched for them, Russian morkmen of the Christian faith, strik- CTS from the railroads, newspaper re- porter and Germans who had long lived in Russia joined to-day at Ellis Island immigration station in declaring that they had been attacked irrespective of religion, that their assailants were led by police disguised in citizens cloth ing, and that the massacres were not the result of race persecution, but rev. olution.
 While telling their stories the men sometimes burst into tears, for perhaps half of the entire number had left be- hind them wives and children who were either dead or living defenseless in Rus sian cities.
 II6I6 WSr6 tI1I6S JSWS IIOII1 OuSSSe1J all of whom six weeks ago to-day, on Monday, October 30, the day that the czar proclaimed Russia's constitution, were forced into hiding to save their lives. One of them, Abraham Chanoch, an Odessa tinsmith, who hesitated about describing the Odessa massacres, was offered money for his story, when he exclaimed:
 q won't take money. Thank God, l still have $S, and that is enough" Then without further urging he told what he saw of the Odessa massacres. He told how little children were thrown out of high windows, how Russian Christians patrolled the streets in large bands pro- tecting Jews, while other bands of men pillaged and murdered. Workmen and students, he said, led the peace parties, while disguised policemen usually led the hoodlums. After the first two days he and two companions escaped from the city.
 Two refugees from western Russia said that there the Jew-killing was started by emptying the jails of pris- oners, who attacked and robbed the Jews. A man from the province of Kovno asserted that the police them selves read into the czar's proclamation of constitution an order to kill all Jews, and cried this lie through the streets

 Mrs. Thomson was found in her rooms, the bodies of her little ones, badly burned, lying about her. The Thomsons lived on the fifth floor and the mother had heard the cry of fire, but in some manner the latch on the door leading to the hall became caught and the mother and children were penned in. @.
 The fire started on the first floor of the building and spread rapidly, cut ting off egress by the stairs for the eight families occupying rooms on the upper floors. Policemen hurried up rear fire escapes and dragged women and children to safety. ,a:
 When the firemen arrived it was be- lieved that all the occupants of the building were safe, and it wa snot for some time that the bodies on the top floor were discovered. .~.
 Frederick Nagel, aged twenty-three years, was one of the injured, being severely burned about the head and shoulders. In attempting to effect a rescue Ambulance Surgeon Norton was badly burned about the hands.
 The financial loss is estimated at $40, ,000. <*
