fine of s25o and imprisonment for three months.
 Furthermore, the government has re- ceived reassuring news concerning the troops of the Baltic provinces. M Pe- trunkevitch, the zemstvoist, and president of the Moscow Agricultural society, and his colleagues, at the invitation of Pre- mier Witte. participated in the sitting Of the council of ministers this evening when the election law was discussed. This also was interpreted favorably. but neverthe- less it is realized that the situation may at any moment change for the worse, should the leaders of the revolutionaries and social democrats, who seem to hold the fate of the country in their hands, suddenly alter their plans.
 The government version of the arrest of the soldiers of the guard at Tsarskoe- Selo places an entirely new complexion on the affair. According to this version the soldiers were incensed at the mutiny in Sebastopol, and at the public insults to which they were constantly subjected even in the streets of Tsarskoe-Selo, and they demanded to be led against the rev olutianaries and intelligencia in the cap ital When their officers tried to quiet them the men became so obstrenerous that they had to be arrested
 The reactionary influences at court, and the imperial guard are making desper- ate efforts to unhorse Count Witte, to proclaim a dictatorship, and to fight the revolution with bullets and bayonets. Their candidate for dictator is Gen. Count Alexis Ignatieff.

Waves Ran Higher Than Smoke

CREW RESIGNED ID DEATH
First Mate, With Rope Around His Waist, Was Given the PeriIous Task of Watching the
 Strained Matches.

Detroit, Mich, December 3.-Sheeted in ice the schooner Angellne over whose safety there was for q time much appre-
 hension. arrived at Detroit for fuel today after one of the most thrilling voyages ever made on the great lakes.
 After leaving the head of the lakes
 with a cargo of iron ore for lake Erie
 port the Angeline was struck by the
 tempest off the Keweenaw peninsula. and
 for two days had a terrific battle against
 the storm Once the vessel was near
 Eagle harbor but her master, Capt S. A. Lyons, afraid that she would be driven on the rocks, so he turned about
 and headed for the open In this maneuver the boat was necessarily in the trough
 of the sea for a time, and tons upon tons
 of water fell on her decks, threatening
 to crush in her hatches and flood her hold. According to her crew never were
 ther such seas running on Lake Superior.
 and their dread was that the big waves
 would life the vessel by her bow and
 stern and break her in two. The crew ex- peeted to perish, and were resigned to
 their fate.
 First Mate William Mclean of Detroit had the duty of constantly watching the matches that none of these were crushed. l With d rope fastened 10 waist and 1 two of the crew standing ill the shelter | over the forward cabin, and holding ono end. Mclean time and again made his perilous round. Once wave engulfed him l and he was dragged back to the cabin. He l started out again when another wave picked him up and washed him overheard, | but the men holding the line soon hauled l him back on board. Captain Lyons, who 1 remained on the bridge during the entire | forty eight hours that the Angeline was 1 battling with the tempests said the s2ls ran higher than the vessels smoke stacka

Seoul. Corea, December 3.--The Emper- or has directed that the highest posthu- nous honors be accorded to Min Yung Whan, who committed suicide as a pro test against the Japanese protectorate. The body will be given state funeral

 Memorialists continue to gather, but are not dispersed. Gendarmes and police are everywhere. and alert to prevent a further outbreak.
 There is some disposition here to con meet the death of Min Yung Whan with the withdrawal of the American legation as the Coreans had looked upon America as the most likely nation to interfere. and when they realized that they had been entertaining false hopes they be- came keenly disappointed.
 The Christian missionaries are greatly concerned over their future work in Co., req, fearing that the new condition of affairs may have some influence upon their efforts.

EASTERNERS ARE
 AMONG VICTIMS
OREGON LAND sWINDLERs HAVE -.sRATED so EXTENSIVELY THAT GOV. CHAMBERLAIN SAYS LOSSES GAN NOT BE KNOWN.

Portland, Ore, December S.-Only when all persons holding certificates for school land in this state have sent their certifi- cates to have them examined. will it be possible to make an estimate of the ex- tent of the gigantic swindles perpetrated on customers by interruptions land oper- ators. Governor Chamberlain stated to the Associated Press today that there Is no limit to the number of forged checks which could have been made. and 1t is safe to say, he added, that where the certificates were hypothecated the full amount shown by the certificate was obtained, or where they were made out right, the full amount of the land as shown by cruising was paid by the vic tim. Very few persons who possess forged certificates are known, so far, but from the fact that persons in Minnesota. Wis consin. Illinois. New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Florida. are in possession of them, the officers fear that when the whole number develops it will include people in every state east of the Missis- sppi river
 The heaviest losers known to the offi- cials so far are H. Goddard of La Crosse, Wis; George Baldwin of Appleton. Wis. {; and H. NJ. Delaittre of Minneapolis
 Governor Chamberlain said that at the present time he was unable to say who the fradulent operators are. From other officials 1t was learned that there are certain persons under suspicion, but it is admitted that this suspicion is based on the fact that a man now under con- viction in the federal courts of conspir- acy to defraud the United States gov ernment of part of the public domain. appears as the assignee of the original entryman in one of the foregd certifi- cates.

 Ambassador Meyer Is now on his way to St Petersburg and his arrival there is expected daily. While neither he nor any other member of the embassy at St. Petersburg has made any request for anything in the nature of a guard for the embassy, state department officials say it is suggested here that the presence of additnonal household attendants will give a greater degree of security to the members of the staff in the event of any demonstration that might occur.

Publish Accounts of Revolt.

This. morning news boys were openly hawking fly sheets in the streets an ac- count of an alleged revolt at Tsarskoe- Selo and crying out .The Emperors Pal ace Guard has mutinied'
 According to reliable information the only foundation for these stories is the arrest of the soldiers of the guard at Tsarskoe-Selo Thurdsay. Nevertheless in their excited state, the people give ready credence to all rumors., and this adds to the general alarm
 The air is also filled with stories of the alleged revolt at the palace Friday, in which Grand Duke Boris is said to have attempted the life of the Emperor. These stories, likewise, are untrue, but they prove that revolution in the palace is considered possible at any time.
 This situation has greatly increased the dangers of a financial crash. The people, even the commercial interests are withdrawing their money from the banks, converting it into gold. boarding it or demanding foreign exchange which the state bank is issuing upon the foreign balances of the government. Exchange on London yesterday rose to $50 over a rouble above the normal.
 Has Grown Exceedingly Grave.
 The Associated Press has just learned from high authority that the situation HI thc f'hitiS PiONluctS HdS SToWH eA- ceedingly grave, and that the troops at Reval and in the neighborhood, are in open mutiny This was the real cause of the extraordinary cabinet meeting which was held at Tsarskoe-Selo last night.
 All attempts to secure details of the uprising have thus far failed According to reports the attitude of the troops in the Baltic provinces is regarded by the government as the most dangerous facor that has thus far developed.
 A strike of the policemen and house porters of St. Petersburg is scheduled for tomorrow Sunday.
 Count Witte continues to refuse to deal with the telegraphers, declaring that for the government to yield, would be equivalent to its abdication at their order Nevertheless, the surrender of the gov ernment to their demand for the dismissal of M Durnovo, acting minister of the interior, is regarded as inevitable.
 Instructions to the governors and the local authorities are being sent with great difficulty over the railroad lines.
