pected to be cut of from the outside
world by way of the continent. This
will also involve the suspension Of rail-
road communication.
The League Of Leagues has seized
the opportunity to come to the support
Of the railroad men and has adopted q
resolution in favor Of general strike
of all professions.
The telegraph operators are joining
in the movement and the suspension Of
railroad traffic, it is feared, will be
followed by q complete obliteration Of
communication between interior points.
The situation is critical and pregnant
with all sorts Of dire pos sibilities.
The factories in the affected dis
tricts have been forced to shut down
for lack of fuel, and Moscow especial
~ faces not only food famine, but q
water famine.
Fortunately st. Petersburg will
have communication open through
Finland.
The British ambassador, Sir Charles
Hardinge, who babe farewell to EN-
peror Nicholas yesterday, previous to
wing st. Petersburg on mission
in connection with the proposed Anglo
Russian understanding, was unable to
start for England this morning because
no trains were running. He will leave
the capital on the first available
steamship.
Telegraphic communication between
st. Petersburg and Kahrtof is broken.

Alexandrovia and Nevsky works struck

authorities are powerless to transport

Four hundred and forty employees Of

road strike situation has now entered
on highly serious phase. The move
ment is spreading rapidly to all the
railroads Of the empire, and apparently
cannos be stopped, while in many cities
it is communicating itself to the mill
and factory employees. The general
strike in all branches of labor. which
the Socialists planned for the end Of
this year, is suddenly bursting forth Of
its own volition.
Minister of Finance Kokvosof yes
terday received telegram from the
governing committee of the Moscow
house, which said that . continuation
Of the strike for week longer would
force every factory in the Moscow re-
gion to shut down owing to lack Of
coal, whether or not the factory hands
took part in the strike.
The same condition of paralysis
threatens all the trades and industries
Of Russia, unless the strike is speedily
settled.
n0sCow Races Famine.
The inhabitants of Moscow are al
ready feeling the effects Of the strike
in the increased prices of food, and
they are even confronted oy famine.
As the demands Of the men are pure
~ political it seems impossible to sat-
isfy them by economic concessions.
Prince ailkoff, minister Of railroads,
yesterday, in receiving the members Of
the deputation sent by the strikers,
talked with them Familiarity He said
that while in England and the United
States he worked sixteen hours daily,
in order to increase his salary, and
pointed out the superiority of the pro-
duction Of foreign workmen in guam
titv and quality at the same wages re-
ceived by the Russian workmen.
The deputation entered q protest
against any man being compelled to
work sixteen huurs day, because suoh
long hours preoluded any opportunity
for educational Improvement. Prince
Hilkoff in reply said that even with six
teen hours day it was possible to de-
vote at least one hour to reading and
to other forms of impro cement.
Deadlock Apparent.
The situation 10 apparently q dead
lock. from which egress can only be
had by the surrender Ct one side or

A strike Of all the telegraph opera
tors has been decided upon, to begin
on Saturday, and If inaugurated st.
Petersburg and other cities will be cut
of from all communication with the
world.
This condition, of affairs is not con-
fined to st. Petersburg. In other large
centers the situation is as bad or worse
than here.
Moscow and Warsaw will be out of
from all communication with the out
side world just as completely as st.
Petersburg. From both these cities
come reports Of fighting and clashes
between the people and the soldiers.
At Riga a state of anarchy exists,

st. Petersburg, Got. 26.-After a
night Of inexpresisble terror, Russia TO-
day il plunged into the deepest gloom.
Following the declaration by the work
ingmen yesterday afternoon Of gener-
al strike to reinforce the railway strike
which has paralyzed the industry of
the country. rioting and street fighting
kept st. Petersburg in state of terri
BILE unrest all night. What makes the
situation seem hopeless is that the
crisis. apparently, is not yet reached.
So serious are conditions that the
ozar is planning to leave Russia for a
two months visit to Denmark. The
czar's visit will be ostensibly to recup-
crate from the strain of the last two
years, but in reality those behind the
government desire him out Of the way
and in place Of safety should an up
rising evolve itself out Of the present
labor difficulties.
Count Witte, according to informa-
ton from Peterhof, will hold an office
equivalent to that Of regent during the
absence Of tho emperor, anu will hold
full powers a. head Of the government.
minister's Discuss Strike.
A meeting Of the council of minis
tiers was held last night under the pres
idency of Count Witte to discuss the
strike situation and the danger which
threatens the empire unless the move
ment can be checked.
No attempt has been made to dis
guise the fact that the government
faces q crisis, end that only judicial
concessions to the strikers aid the
people generally can have any effect
in bringing order ont Of the present
chaos.
Since this warning was uttered the
situation has grown unmeasurably
worse. Thousands Of additional men
are ON the streets, where they become
the prey Of sgitators who try 10 incite
them to deeds Of violence. If there
was danger in the situation then and
the stability Of the Romanoff dynasty
was threatened at that time, then It
may be stated that this danger has In

Will INCREASE GIFT.
Borden, Fall River Mill Man to A'o
and 70 Recent Gift to Boys Club.

Fall River, Nov. 26.-M. c. ID. Boroer'
multi millionaire, philanthropist and mill
man, proposes again to enlarge the scope
of his recently proposed gift of Il big an
mex 20 the Boys Club of this city.
Mr.. Borden's recent plan called Tor Il
frontage not materially greater than the
old one. and directly opposite tc 1t. But
since then a proposition has come UP 10
widen Pocasset street at this point. to ac-
co,umodate a heavy and constantly grow
ing traffic.
This would necessitate the taking oil
some 16 feet of the depth of the rev club
lot. and Mr.. Borden proposes to acquire
adjacent property to compensate for the
loss in area He has made q definite Of
fer for the large lot which was purchased
for the Fall River textile school some
years ago. but later abandoned when the
Brayton family donated the lot OH which
the school was eventually erected. With
this lot acquired, the new frontage would
be not far from $50 feet on Pocasset
street.
Mayor Coughlan and the trustees are
endeavoring to put the proposition
through. The plans for the new building
for the Boys Club have been completed
and are ready to be submitted to Mr..
Borden, but if this latest proposition is
accepted these plans will be wholly
changed.
