st. Petersburg, Nov. 17.-2 p. M
The outlook for an early collapse of
the strike is more gloomy. today. The
situation is distinctly more menacing.
The council OF workmen's delegates or
strike committee are manifestly en-
Outraged by the extension of the strike
in St. Petersburg, various organizations
including the bank clerks, telephone
girls and some of the professional
leagues having voted to go into the
movement. Moreover, it is certain that
the workmen's council have received
mysterious supplies of funds and con-
seauently they present a holder front.
Practically all the preteXtS based on
economic demands have been aban-
doned, although the eight-hour day fig
ures in the speeches at meetings in or
der to hold the workmen who have no
thought except improvement in their
material condition. The Worknen's
council returned a scOrnful reply to
Count Whites personal appeal to his
brother workmen,' ridiculing the gov
ernment's profession of sOlicitude for
the workmen and renewing their de-
mand for the immediate abolition of
martial law in Poland, etc.
Count Whites attempt to negotiate
directly with the strike leaders has
come to naught, although he offered
concessions in the case Of the Cron-
stadt mutineers in the event of their
being condemned to death. But the
leaders refused all compromise. IAN or
nothing" was their response.
The imperial ukase on the land ques-
ton issued today, although it wipes
out about s40,000,000 of the peasants
arrearages of debt, which under ordi-
nary circumstances might have been
received with joy, is another disap-
pointment. The promises Of additional
lands are too vague to calm the agi-
tated, starving peasants, who i'll the
valleys of the Don and Volga are again
marching. pillaging, burning ana muir
dering.
No confirmation has been obtained of
yesterdays report of a false Emperor
leading the peasants of Penza.
The mill and factory owners at 4
meeting just held. while Offering TO
make some concessions in the matter
of hours of labor, generally to 10 hours,
took a final decision that unless the
men resume work, Monday, they must
close down Indefinitely. Should the men
| be locked out in the face Of winter it
would only make the situation more
desperate.
The news from the provinces shows
| that practically no movement has been
started there in support of the general
strike. but there is a deep suspicion
| that this may simply be the lull of
preparation.
The Social Democrats and Revolu-
tionists are keeping their plans DARK
| Their organizations have ramifications
| throughout the country and at a signal
they might again be able to bring the
industries of the country to a stand
| Still.
| The tone on the Bourse. today, was
steadier and improved owing to the
belief that there are dissensions
among the strikers and that the fail
ure of the strike to extend through
the provinces indicates that it must
soon end. Lotteries improved to 40

REPLIES TO HEARST
SULLIVAN OF MASSAcHUSETTS
ANSWERS CHARGES OF NEW
YORK CONGRESSMAN.

/ Washington, Feb. 15.-The second
chapter of the episode between Mr..
Sullivan of Massachusetts, and Mr..
Hearst of New York. occurred in the
house during the day when Mr.. Sulli-
van again took the floor on question
of personal privilege and related the
circumstances leading up to the indict.
ment and conviction of his father and
himself for manslaughter. In decided
contrast with the remarks of Monday,
when the two men heaped upon each
other epithets and charges of serious
nature, Mr.. Sullivan's latest statement
was devoid of any outright attack up
on his colleague and was a straight
recitation of the occurrences referred
to by Mr.. Hearst Monday. Mr.. Sulli-
van admitted the charge, but said that
he himself had been only technically
guilty and had been permitted to leave
the court free man, without serving
days Imprisonment or being sub
jected to fine. His father had been
imprisoned year and half, but on
the introduction of new evidence,
which presented grave doubt of
guilt. his father had been pardoned.
Mr.. Sullivan's statement was listen
ed to with marked attention and at it's
conclusion he was marmly applauded,
many members leavingNheir seats and
shaking his hand.
Mr.. Hearst was not present during
the time he spoke.
The balance of the day was devoted
to consideration of the naval appro-
priation bill. Mr.. Littlefield speaking
at length regarding the necessity for
keeping appropriations within the
limits of the revenues of the country

ADAMS CLOSES HIS DEFENSE.
Gubernatorial Contest in Colorado
Nearing Conclusion.


Denver, Feb. 15.-Governor sAlva
Adams has closed his defense in the
contest for the Office of governor, and
the confession, Former Governor James
II. Peabody, will at once begin the
presentation of evidence in rebuttal,
for which five days are allowed under
the rules governing the contest. The
legislative committee hearing the con-
test is required to report its findings
to the legislature March 1, and on
March 2, the contest will be decided.
Three experts during the day re-
ported on fifteen precincts in Huer-
fano county. They testified that 1888
Republican and 1852 Democratic bal
lots out of total of 2,607 votes were
written by two or three persons. Pee
body received 1928 and Adams 62S
votes in these precincts. Should
these precincts be thrown out, Pea
body would lose 1900 votes. With
the same action taken in regard to the
Las Animas county boxes, which the
Democratic experts examined, Pea
body would lose a total of 1929 votes.
Should the assembly agree to throw
out all the precincts in which all the
experts, both Republican and Demo-
cratic: discovered evidence of fraud,
Governor Adams would retain his
seat by plurality of 900 votes.

HAS NEW EVIDENCE
Defense in Koch Case Finds
More Witnesses.

DIR. George R. Koch returned to his
home yesterday afternoon, having con-
cluded his visit with his relatives in
Mankato. He will probably not return
again until his trial, April 10Th.
Yesterday DR.. Koch was taken by
George w. Scherer, a very distant rel
ative by marriage, and introduced to
a number of business men along Front
street. He made good impression.
Koch went to school to Mr. Scherer
when the latter taught at New Ulm, and
Mr. Scherer has known him from boy
hood and is sure that he could not be
guilty of the crime charged. He says
that he is quiet, modest, retiring
young man, and that gentleness is one
of the characteristics of the Koch fam
lily.
The defense has secured some new
evidence as to the time when the door
of DIR. Gebhard's office was broken open.
The exact minute will be fixed more
certainly by several new witnesses.
Attorney Somsen of New Ulm will
no longer be connected with the case.
Koch's relatives say that he is not the
person that some of the reports
have indicated. They say that there is
a noticeable change in his appearance,
and that he has a sad expression when
alone that he never had before.
