WITTE NOW PREMIER
Central Russia Paralyzed by
 Railway Strikes.
PEOPLE WANT POLITICAL FREEDOM
Czar's Reward For His Peace COm- missioner - Railway EmpIoyees' Congress Asks Suffrage and
 Less Rigorous Laws.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 24. The railroad strike situation shows no signs of :melioration. Traffic across central Russia Is paraIyzed, while general strike which began at Kharkov has cut off communication in another great section of the empire.
 It is consistently reported in the clubs and in government circles that the emperor has appointed Count Witte premier, with the portfolio of minister of finance. All the St Petersburg pa pers this morning give prominence to the report.
 The strike situation has now entered on a highly serious sphere. The move ment is spreading rapidly to all the railroads of the empire and apparently cannot be stopped, while in many cit ies 1t is communicating itself to. the mill and factory employees. The gen eral strike in all branches of labor which the Socialists planned for the end of this year Is seemingly bursting forth of Its own yoliti0n.
 A flood of dispatches from Slmbirsk, Saratov. Yyazma. Poltava. Nizhni-Nov- gorod, Kharkov, SmoIensk. Kiev, Ye- llzabetgrad. Kasan and other railroad centers all over Russia announced the complete tying up of all transportation.
 The last link that bound Moscow. the commercial center of the empire, with al ,..s4. ,--a-fa ..-s- t.ct-o~. r-1,or, fha men on the NIcholai road. connecting Moscow with St. Petersburg went on strike.
 The strike is part of a general scheme of the Social Democrats to compel the emperor to grant universal suffrage and complete political freedom. but the plan Of the leaders is 10 avoid a eolli- sion with the authorities.
 Their purpose is to make tests of the strength of the various organizations preparatory to the beginning of gen eraI strike of all eIasses in support Of the radicals at about the time the na- tionaI assembly meets
 The congress Of railroad employees in session here has adopted a resolu- ton in favor of universal suffrage. pO- Iiticai freedom. amnesty. the right to organize strikes. the liberation of ar rested strikers. an eight hour day. schools for children Of employees and the abolition of martial law. the rail- road zendarmerie and capital punish ment
 At Balashev all local employees of the railroad have struck and train communication is stopped
 His feared that the employees of the warsaw. St Petersburg and Vistuls railroads viii take part in the strike.

band He didn't order his men back into line. Their scare was over. and they went back without orders, shouting compliments at the captain, who was still in action.
 'At Stone river our regiment faced the enemy for hours without sign of panic. but when one of our brigades, changing front under pressure, ran over us, the boys lost their grip for about five min utes and were joining in the foot race when the colonel, who had been un- horsed. scrambled to his feet and roared: T can lick the man or the regiment that did that But you, men, as you were! as you were!-if any man has sense enough to know where we were This Quieted the panic in our line, but the stampede involved other regiments, and saw men act like frightened squirrels and try to squeeze their bulks into holes in the ground or crevices in the rocks.
 "It was all over in few minutes, the panic-stricken men returning to the firing line on their own motion. The next day there was panic of another kind, when men were swept off their feet by a rush of the enemy. Dazed by the sudden onslaught. hundreds of men drifted rearward, to the demoralizstion of other regiments. Gen. Thomas rode across the line of retreat and, pistol in hand, checked the panic, the men after cooling of a little returning to their regiments.
 There was panic at Chickamauga, caused by Longstreet's headlong charge; but 1t was only a local storm. the main part of the army knowing nothing of 1t. There was a panic among straggIers at Shiloh. but the men in front were fight ing as coolly as ever they did in the whole course of the war. There is aI- ways more confusion and excitement in the rear of an army than in front. but he excitement means as little as the confusion. An army itself engaged in fierce conflict is rarely influenced by what occurs at the rear: and yet the in- .idents in the rear are more often than otherwise exploited as indicating condi- lions in the army itself"

 The presidents seat was on an ele- yated dias in a chair which was built by the students of technical school in Japan. Back of the chair was an enor- nous stuffed bear eight feet tall, bear ing in it's mouth floral independence bell and above it's head a white dove holding a streamer, on which was the inscription Blessed is the peacemak- er."
 Oliver J. Semmes, son of Confederate Admiral Raphael Semmes. then pre- scented to the president and pinned on the lapel of his coat a handsome sou yenir badge as the gift of the people of Mobile. In delivering the badge Judge semmes said:
