 ''rhe man that sidetracked prece- dents by ending the coal strike, the man that conjured between Russia and Japan and who has in hundred ways showed marvellous versatility and cour- age can he not take the initiative and bring about concert of action to stem the cruelties in Russia? How long is this ghastly, iendish holocaust to con- tlnue?"

And to find n person in Paris


 I did not answer, only shut my teeth together and told myself for the hundredth time that I must not fail.
 Rogers had been carrying on the routine work of the business since his employers death and was supervising the settlement of accounts and the thousand and one details which must be attended to before the business could be closed up. We found him in the private office and stated our errand without delay.
 Yes" he said, Mir. Holladay kept in touch with the office, of course. Let me sec What was the dateT"
 Let us look for the first six months of 1ST6,' suggested.
 He got down the file covering that period and ran through the letters.
 "Yes. here they are" he said after a moment. Tn January, he writes from Nice. where they seem to have re- mained during February and March. About the middle of April they started north - here's a letter dated Paris, April 19-and from Paris they went to a place called Etretat. They remained there through May. June and July, That is all the time covered by this file. Shall get anOther?"
 No" I answered, but 1 wish you'd make an abstract of MT. Holladay's whereabout during the whole time he was abroad and send 1t to our office not later than this afternoon"
 Very well, sir" he said. and we left the room.
 But why didn't you let him go far therT" asked Mir Graham as we left the building.
 Because I think I've found the place. sir" I answered. Did yOu notice-tne time they stayed at Etre- tar covers tue period of Miss HOlla- days birth. with which. I'm convinced. these people were in some way con cerned. We must look up Etretat"

 My theory ls." l said. that when the time of her confinement approach cd Mir. Holladay brought his wife to Paris to secure the services of an ex- poricnced physician perhaps. or per hapS a nurse or linen. or all of them. That done. they proceeded to Etretat, which they may have visited before and knew for a quiet place with braeing atmosphere and good climate inst such place as they would nat urally desire Here the daughter was born. and here. am convinced. we shah find the key to the mystery. though I'm very far from guessing what that key is.

 No" I said and rose. "I'll come for you in the morning"
 Al right; I'll be ready"
 The doctor followed me out to give me a word of caution. Mr. Royce was still far from well; he must not over exert himself: he must be kept cheer ful and hopeful, if possible: above all, he was not to worry; quiet and sea air would do the rest.
 I hurried back to the office to make my final report to Mir. Graham and to get the abstract which Rogers had

PeterhOf.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 10-The naval and military fortress of Cron- stadt, twenty miles east of the capital, the sailors there have revolted, over powered the officers and many persons are reported to have been killed.
 The mutineers set fire to the town, a dense pail of smoke hangs over it and the dull glow of fire is seen through the falling snow. Eight gov ernment military depots are af1ame.
 It is impossible for anybody to enter the town. The telegraph poles on the line to St. Petersburg have been cut down for distance of four miles out side the town, so that telegraphic com munication is cut off, and the telephone has also ceased to work.
 The last event which is known to have taken place before communica- -tion with the fortress was severed was the arrival at iCronstadt of boat from St. Petersburg with 150 sailors who had been arrested during the riots in the capital last week.
 General Trepoff has resigned the gov ernor generalship of St. Petersburg and his last official act as chief of police was to collect these 150 sailors from various St. Petersburg jails and send them under arrest to the naval authori- ties at Cronstadt
 They were loaded on a steamboat, which started for the fortress. On the way the sailors overpowered the crew and took control of the boat, which ar rived at Cronstadt flying red flag.
 The emblem of revolution was seen from shore, and mass of soldiers and sailors assembled to welcome the mutineers. Two hours later the town and fortress were entirely in their pos session.
 The sailors plundered the govern ment spirit depots. They secured sev- eral machine guns, which they used against the troops. The inhabitants of the town have fed and desperate reported.
 The heavens reflected the glare of smoldering fires at Cronstadt last night
 During the rioting machine guns were employsd against the mutinous sailors, who had been joined by bat talion of artlllerymen from the fortress and which raised the total number of mutineers to 5000. It is difficult to ascertain the number of casualties, but officers place the figures at POO. Many wounded persons are in hospitals. The sailors say their chief grievances are poor food and clothing and an insuffi- clent amount of liberty from barracks.
 Many of the mutineers have sur rendered, but several hundred are still holding out in the eastern section of the town. They have thrown up bar but are surrounded, and ma chine guns are posted at all the streets leading to their stronghold. It Is ex- pected that the remainder of the muti- neers will submit
 It is semiofficially stated here that the czar is about to grant autonomy to Poland.
 The resignation of General Trepoff is oficially announced Trepoff has left St. Petersburg to assume the office of governor of the imperial palace at Pc terhof.
 No successor to Trepoff has been ap- pointed in the office of minister of po- lice for the empire, which has been abolished.
 The Grand Duke Nicholas has been appointed to the military command of the capital.

THE PRESIDENT coNFERs WITH
SOME ADVISERS.
DELIBERATIONS ARE NOT KNOWN
It Is Thought, However, That Insurance
Matters Were Under Consideration
Those Who Were Present at the
Meeting.

OYSTER BAY, N. "a conference
of Importance was held Wednesday
night at Sycamore Hill, the partici-
pants being President Roosevelt,
Elihu Root, secretary of state; Henry
Cabot Lodge, United States senator
from Massachusetts, and Joseph H..
Choate, former ambassador to Great
Britain.
While it is particular subject of
great concern to the country that was
under consideration, the nature Of
which was not disclosed officially to-
night, the opportunity was embraced
by the president to discuss with his
visitors some matters relating to the
foreign relations of America. This was
the first suitable opportunity the pres
ident has had to talk with Secretary
Root since he assumed his duties as
secretary of state. Only recently the
secretary returned from an extended
trip to Labrador. Since his return
he has been completing his arrange
ments for assuming actively the duties
of secretary of state.
Secretary Root Senator Lodge and
MIR. Choate arrived here together about
$40 Said Secretary Root:
What is the news here? l really
know nothing worth publishing.
have just returned from Labrador,
you know, and am not supposed yet
to be the repository of many state
secrets"
In response to inquiries the secre-
tary said he expected to go to Wash
ington about October l and until then
would not undertake, in the full ac-
ceptation Oh the term, the duties of
his office. He did not care to discuss
the object of his visit to the presi.
dent at this time further than to ssay
they probably would talk over a good
many things"
Neither Senator Lodge nor Mr..
Choate was more conservative regard
ing the situation than Secretary Root.
1t is not unlikely that among
other topics of discussion the recent
developments in the conduct of the
life insurance companies received an
important share of attention at the
conference. All of the visitors are
more or less familiar with the insur-
ance situation and, as the president eX-
poets to take up that subject in his
forthcoming annual message to con-
gress, in the preparation of which he
is now engaged, it is natural that he
should wish to consult his close
friends and advisers about the matter.

WIDOW OF THE REVOLUTION.
One Still on Pension Rolls - Many
Old Age Allowances.

WASHINGTON-The report of the
commissioner of pensions for the fiscal
year ending July 1 shows that during
re year there were 46,9S5 allowances
under the old age disability order of
March Is, 1904. 1t also shows that 655
pensions of $72 a month have been in
creased to 500 month on account of
total blindness under the act of April
s, 1905.
There are pending only 1926 orig
inal claims of survivors of the civil
war and the commissioner gives assur-
ance that they will be adjudicated as
speedily as possible.
There are still five pensioners on ac-
count of the war of the revolution,
one of them being Esther S. Damon,
the widow of a revolutionary soldier,
and the other four being daughters of
such soldiers. Mrs. Damon is 81 years
old

CONFIDENCE REMAINS STRONG.
Bounteous Crops in All Sections Help

NEW YORK;. G. Dun G Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Industrial, commercial and agricul-
tural progress continue satisfactory.
Nothing has occurred to weaken con-
fldence, the disposition being to ex-
tend plans further into the future,
and many plants have their facilities
engaged well into the next year AS
demand broadens there is a natural
tendency to enlarge capacity, which
adds to the already exceptional struc-
tural activity. Jobbers have secured
much more forward business than at
this date last year, especially in dry
goods lines, and the frequent remin-
ders of autumn temperature stimu-
late retail distribution of wearing ap-
parel. Thus far the weather has not
been cold enough to harm the crops
that remain to be harvested, and an
other week of favorable conditions
should assure an unprecedented yield
of corn. Several settlements main
tain labor dispuates at the minimum,
and mercantile collections continue

PLEAS OF GUILTY
ACTION OF SOME LEADING PACK.
E~S OF CHICAGO.
FOUR OFFICIALS GIVEN FINES
They conspired to Take Railroad Re-
6ates-obtained Drawbacks by Pre-.
senting False and Fraudulent Claims
For Damages.

CHICAGO-Four officials OF the
Schwarzchid e Sulzberger Packing
company of Chicago were fined an ag
gregate of S25, 900 by Judge Humphrey
in the United States district court
here Thursday. The fines followed a
plea of guilty to indictments charging
conspiracy to accept railroad rebates
The defendants were Samuel We'll of
New York, vice president OF the com.
pany; b. s. Cusey, traffic manager;
Vance d. Skipworth and Chess e.
Todd, assistant traffic managers.
Mr.. We'll was fined $4,000, the other
three $4,000 each, all fines were i'm
mediately paid.
With the entering of the plea the
declaration was made that unless at
least one Of the cases is Immediately
settled the life of Samuel We'll, who
is vice president of the company and
is one Of the defendants, Is in jeop-
ardy. He is said to be a nervous
wreck and fears were entertained for
his life if he had been allowed to con-
tinue under the strain of trial The
plea was entered it is declared, after
a complete understanding had been
reached between counsel for the de-
PENDANTS and Attorney General Will.
lam H. Moody While in Chicago the
attorney general was appraised of the
condition of Vice President We'll, and
it is said agreed to the entry of a
plea of guilty, with the understanding
that the Jail provision of the law
under which the Indictment was re-
turnedt should be waived and merely
a fine imposed The same concession
was made in the case of the other
three defendants.
The four defendants were charged
with unlawfully combining and agree
ing to solicit rebates for the Schwarz-
child & Sulzberger company from the
Michigan Central Railroad company,
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, the
Grand Trunk Western Railroad. the
Lehigh Valley Railroad company, the
Boston & Maine Railroad company and
the Mobile & Ohio Railroad company
Charges were made that the defend
ants conspired with each other in pre-
senting supposed claims for damages
which were really claims for rebates
The plea made does not in any way
affect the charge of interference with

vious Indictment returned against
