life Of the republic is involved IN wise

FEES NOT ALLOWED
New Rule Will Cost City From $7OO
 to $l,000 Annually.

Judge Robinson of the superior court has made ruling that will cost this city from S70O to S1,0OO annually. He has decided that hereafter fees fig ured ill as costs will not be allowed where salaries are paid in cases com ing up from the lower courts, and that the state, through the superior. court, shall not pay out money only in cases where money has been actually ex- pended.
 It has been the custom in most cit ies and borough courts to tax up fees for the officer who made the arrests, and for various other items that were allowable before the officers and clerks of the courts were put on salar- ies. It must not be supposed from this however, that the fees thus charged were paid over to the police men and clerks of the courts. This money went to the city treasury, or borough as the case might be. The question came up last year in case in which Judge George W. Wheeler remarked that the costs. were unus- uaIlv large. To avoid any possible trouble in future. Clerk Marsh broach- ed the question to Judge Robinson q few days ago with the above result.

STRIKE COMING Russian Government s
 Challenge. COUNCIL IS ANGRY The Arrest of Some of the Strike Leaders Has Brought Out
 a Terrible Storm of
 Protest.

St Petersburg, Sunday, Dec 10, via Eydtkuhnen, East Prussia, Dec H. | There is every indication this morning that the governments challenge will be accepted and that within forty tight ! hours a general strike throughout Rus sia will be ordered. A terrible storm has been raised by the arrest of NJ. Krustaleff, president of the executive | committee of the wOrkmen's council, which was followed during the night by the imprisonment of the members of the workmen's council and number of social leaders. "The reaction has l come" were the words on every lip, and in the liberal extremist camp there was only one opinion, namely, that it must be resisted to the bitter end. At all the meetings last night, some of which lasted until morning. the Opin- ion was unanimous that the govern ment had forced the hands of the pro- leariat and that the supreme weapon, a general strike, must be invoked.
 The newspaper editors at yesterday evenings meeting decided that the temporary press law forbidding the discussion of vital questions affecting the welfare of the nation violated the principles of freedom of speech and of the gress guaranteed by the inn perial manifesto and that 1t must be defied. The result was that the edi- tions of the Russ and half dozen more radical papers were confiscated.
 The employees of the Riga-Orel rail l road have declared a strike on account of the declaration of martial law in Iivonia and have sent an appeal to the other roads to join. Last nicl the railroad men of the Baltimore lines de- cided to follow the example Of the Riga-Orel men.
 The situation in Liyonia is frightful. Absolute anarchy prevails. A messen- ger who arrived here this morning de- clared the streets of Riga were flow ing with blood. After a meeting the railroad men of Riga were moved down by the fire of machine guns and artillery.
 The railroad men of St Petersburg at a meeting yesterday evening re- solved that inasmuch "as the reaction is gaining force and the government Is seeking to retract what was won by the first Pan-Russian strike" the rail- road men stand ready to obey the sig nal for general strike, but advise their fellow workers to await the word from the central committee at Moscow, as failure must not be risked.
 Simultaneously with the arrests here NJ. Dronshilny and all the members of the union of the employees of the posts and telegraph operators of Moscow, with NJ. Kokhanowski at their head, were arrested at Moscof.
 Interior Minister Durnovo this morn- ing issued an official proclamation not only notifying all the post and tele- graph employees that their failure to return to work tomorrow will be equivalent to their discharge, but that all those who agitate for q continu- ance of the strike or are guilty of cut ting or otherwise destroying wires and apparatus will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

NEW CARDINALS. Pope Holds a Secret
 Consistory. 30 CARDINALS THERE
The Pope Anxious to Have a Better Equilibrium Between Foreign and National Elements
 in Sacred College.

Rome. Dec 1.-The pope today held a secret consistory, which was the second of his pontificate, in which he created new cardinals and apparently showed tendency to have better equilibrium between the foreign and Italian elements in the sacred college, as three of the four new cardinals are foreigners. The ceremony was per formed with the usual pomp. Nearly thirty cardinals were present. The pontiff appeared walking and was at tended by the gorgeous pontifical court Then all withdrew except the members of the sacred college and the pope read his allocution.
 In his allocution the pope said he wished he could give the cardinals pleasant and consoling news. but the conditions at the present time do not permit of consolation. Although the Catholic faith is spreading more and more throughout the world, especially fin dissident countries, on turning to- wards Catholic nations one feels sad ness and fear lest the prediction of the scriptures is being verified, that the kingdom of the Lord will be removed to other people where 1t will produce good fruit Especial care and anxiety may he felt for the country heretofore called the eldest daughter of the church. But concerning the anti Catholic laws passed there against the laws of justice the pope said he would speak in accordance with his apostolic office more gravely and more fully at an opportune time. He exhorted the cardinals to prayer, recalling that the Lord will cause tranquility and peace to shine forth at the proper time.
 The pontiff ended with saying that he intends to honor the whole Latin American race by creating for the first time a cardinal belonging to that part of the world.
 Immediately after reading his alto cution he created the following car dlnals: The Most Rev Joseph Sa- massa. archbishop of Erlau. Hungary.
 Mgr Spinola. archbishop of Seville.
 Mgr !. A. De Arcoverde de Albu- ouerdue Cavalcanti, archbishop of Rio Janeiro.
 Mgr Cagaino de Azevedo, major domo of the vatican.
 The cardinals asserted that contrary to the popular impression the pope did not create a fifth cardinal, but re- served the appointment in pectore.
 Later the pope appointed a number of bishops including Mgr Nozaleda. formerly archbishop of Manila, and afterwards archbishop of Valencia, which post he resigned. who was to- day nominated titular archbishop of Petra. The Rev G. Barin was nomin- ated bishop of Nueva Caceres. Philip nine Islands: the Rev T. Merrschaert was made bishop of Oklahoma. the Rev T. Brennan. formerly bishop of Dallas. Texas. was appointed tituldr bishop of Cassaerea, and the Rev A. schinner. vicar general of Milwaukee, Wis. was appointed bishop of Lake su- perior. Mich.
 The ceremony ended with the apos- tolic benediction.
