Outlook Better in st.
Petersburg
Many Anxious to Return
to Work
Plebisclte to Be Taken Today in Fac
tories to Decide on What Action
Shall Be Taken by the
Operatives
By Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1s. 1:45 a.
m.-Though, according to surface in
dications yesterday, the outlook for the
speedy ending of the strike was gloomy,
the revelations made at a meeting last
night of the council of workmen's dele
gates showed that large portion of
the workmen were breaking loose from
the control of the leaders and were
anxious to return to work and n
plebiscite which will be taken today in
the various factories probably will re.
suit in decision to abandon the strike
Monday.
AT the meeting of the council, which
was held in the same hall where Father
Gapon. Maxim Gorky and other leaders
denounced the emperor on the evening
of January % Cred Sunday delegate
after delegate from different factories
arose and reported that the workmen,
under the influence of the ultimatum
issued by the employers announcing
that the factories would be shut down
indefinitely unless work was resumed
on Monday, and with the pleading of
their wives and of the conservative
workmen ringing in their ears, were
demanding that the strike should be
ended.
This precipitated hotly contested
debate between the moderates, who de-
clared that the strike in the first in
stance was strategical mistake and
that it would be a graver error in tac-
tics to attempt to force the men to re-
main in line and the last ditch action,
especially the unattached delegates who
are members of the council by virtue
Of their membership in Socialist or
ganizations. One fiery speaker, who in
order to be better seen and heard,
mounted the balcony from which Father
Gapon in disguise had delivered his
last address in that hail. thundered
his denunciation of those who wished
to discontinue the struggle.
Urges That Strike Continue
Even if we cannot continue the
strike until the purposes for which II
was. called are attained" he said. let
us not abandon it without infiicting Il
real blow on the government. A three
day strike is a mere pin prick in the
hides of the crafty fox Witte and his
followers, so let us keep it UP for a
fortnight. The men in other factories
at st. Petersburg are daily joining US;
our delegates are closing the phar-
macies and the railroad tie-up is COM
plete. What figure we will cut in the
eyes of our brothers outside of st.
Petersburg if, before they have had
the opportunity of acting on our ap.
peal, they hear that we have laid down
our arms"

The PHILADELPHIA Kaleidoscope.

In consequence of the rapid changes
which have followed the passage of the
gas lease by the city councils, Philadelphia
is now in a state of virtual administrative
anarchy. Mayor Weaver first removed the
directors of public safety and public works
and appointed new officials. Then the ma
chine leaders executed flank movement
and secured an injunction from the court
preventing the new appo!ntees from serving
and restoring the ousted officials. Next the
mayor refused to recognize the restored di-
rectors and the city controller declined to
sign any warrants pertaining to the two de-
partments on the ground that there was no
one legally at their head Meanwhile
Mayor Weaver made hurried trip to New
York for consultation with Elihu Root.
whom he had chosen as his counsel in the
fight against the gas ring His plans for
future movements are not disclosed but it
is expected that he will himself appeal to
the courts to Gust the restored directors.
The ring threatens to carry the fight
against Weaver to a limit never before
known in Pennsylvania politics. 1t declares
that If the city executive continues the
warfare II will go far as to have an
extra session of the legislature summoned
by the governor Cor the passage of a bill
ripping the mayor out of office, as was
done in the case of Pittsburg and some
other cities of the state, the statute to take
effect at once. II that plan fails through
the refusal of the governor to summon the
legislature or TO sign such an act, impeach-
meut is suggested the last resort of the

War Reports.

Two REPORTS from the Russian war fleet
have been lately received which give
slight inkIlng as to the situation IN far east
ern waters so long yelled in mystery. ohe
comes unconfrmed from Manila TO the Ell
feet that there has been sea fight south
of Formosa, ending in a Russian Victory.
No date is mentioned. The other report
comes with official sanction from Vlgan
northern mort of the Island of LuZon, stat
ing. that on the Goth. last Saturday, nfty
vessels. presumably Russian, were sighteo
off the Rattan Islands half way between
Tnzon and Formosa steaming northeast
vyardly. There has thus been ample time
since that appearance of RoJestvensKy
fleet for the Japanese to nave attackeu'
possibly in the open ocean east or south-
east of Formosa. Meanwhile from St Re
tersburg comes a dispatch stating that IL is
generally assumed in admiralty circles there
that the Russian commanders plan I'M
doubtedly would be to seek the Pacific by
the southern and eastern course and thus,
avoiding the narrower channels OF the west
ern side of Formosa lessen Togos chance
for successful torpedo boat attacks under
the shelter of the islands.
The battle rumor must await official con-
firmation before it can be viewed as in any
way indicating the progress of events. II
il is true there will be, advices to that eff
feet in short order. If untrue it will join
the numerous other unfounded reports of
fighting that have been circulated ever since
Rojestvensky passed through the Malacca
straits
There is no positive information as to the
whereabouts of Togo on which to base an
estimate of the probability of an early en-
gagement.' The latest report regarding his
plans indicated that he proposed to allow
the Russians to reach the vicinity of Vlaai

The High School Cadets.

All the competitors in the drill OF the
high school cadet companies are subject 10
congra tulation upon the fine showing which
each made and the high standard of SOL
dierly excellence maintained throughout.
The annual contest proved in many ways
the value of this institution. 1t has stimu-
lated a wholesome rivalry between the
schools and the separate commands and has
given every member of the cadet corps an
incentive for hard work next season. The
officers and members of Company F are
today proud boys, for they not only car
.red off the coveted flag, but they put up
drill that. in the climate of the judges,
surpassed anything of the kind seen IN
Washington for long time.
The High School Cadet Corps had a very
small beginning. 1t came into being in
1882. the first year of the occupancy of the
building now known as the Central, but
then the only high school of the white di-
vision. The guns were heavy, crude weap-
ons. German muskets, secured with diff
Guilty, and the cause of much toll on the
part of the youngsters, who were compell-
ed to labor diligently with oil and emery
to make the weapons presentable. Little
by little the organization developed. Uni
forms were adopted, rifles were secured
from the War Department competent in
structors were engaged, and gradually the
cadet corps became an important part of
the school system.
Washington would hardly feel natural
without the high school cadet regiment. In
parades the boys make a fine showing,
causing the hearts of all parents to swell
with pride. In the schools the effect of
the military training and the incidental ply
steal exercise is apparent. After gradua-
ton these young men enter business life
with an accurate sense of the Importance
OF drill and care for details; they know
the need of perfect organization, of ODE
dience to those in command Many of them
enter the national guard and make the
better citizen-soldiers for their training
and strengthen the militia spirit in the
community. Thus, in encourag ing the
cadets at school the District is building
solidly against the day of possible Ned
for the services of the reserves. 1t is in
surfing peace and quiet and good citizen-
shin.
