TREPOFF AT LAST
 FORGED ID RESIGN Opposition Press Halls Removal
 With Delight EMPEROR HONORS HIM General Trepoff Claims to Have Been Greatly Misunderstood and That
 He Was Not Responsible
 for Blcodshed
EMPEROR HONORS HIM

St Petersburg, November 9.-C3:5O D. m.)
 Both Count Witte and the Emperor have
 made another surrender. General Trepoff
 has been removed from the powerful po-
 sition which he occupied. that of gov
 sstant minister of the interior, and Rus universal suffrage.
 Count Witte has been fully aware of the intense hatred General Trepoff's re- tention in office was causing but he never
 questioned the sincerity of the governor
 generals cooperation in the introduction
 of the new regime Nevertheless he recog-
 nized the necessity of Trepoff's removal
 and the governor general himself agreed
 that only his retirement would appease
 the popular wrath. The final obstacle
 was the Emperor who had come to be-
 lieve that Trepoff alone was able to guard
 the life of himself and family. but his
 majesty at last yielded on the condition
 that Trepoff should become commandant of the palace succeeding the late lieu tenant general. Hesse, where his sole duty will be to take measures to protect the life of the Emperor. The position of gov eTHoT StHeIdi Ol ol. ItleiSbulb eHuS Wltn Trepoff's retirement, but the place of
 commander of the Imperial guard has been assumed by Grand Duke Nicholas. Confers High Order. The Emperor in agreeing to Trepoff s retirement, conferred on him the order of Alexander Nevsky in diamonds. The Russ and other radical papers which have been campaigning against Trepoff, hall his removal with delight as
 being the first victory for the free Rus sian press.
 General Trepoff claims to have been greatly misunderstood, and that history must eventually acquit him of being in any way the instigator of the shedding of blood, and all other horrors which Russia has experienced during the last fortnight.
 "I should think it unnecessary for me to deny that the government sought to infiame the passion of the people against each other" he said.
 "The manifesto seemed to rouse the elemental passions of the people. Different classes of the population did what they could to stife and suppress the disturb ances, but in many places the authorities were powerless to withstand the shock. The accusations against the police made by enemies of the government who have demanded nothing short of miracles. are largely inventions. The whole government cannot be transformed in a day, but in a single week wonders were accomplish ed. Amnesty was granted with freedom of the press, of which the press has taken so much advantage to calumniate me"

Many Reports Were False.

Many of these sensational reports were, of course, entirely false, but sufficient details have been received to prove that about 3O00 sailors and battalion of artil- lerymen from one of the forts indulged in mutiny which only was put down by about 1000 Cossacks and troops of the inn perial guard hastily dispatched from St. Petersburg and from the garrison near Peterhof, and that machine guns had to be employed. Before the arrival of the sailors, many of whom were drunk on liquor, plundered spirit shops had set fire to the market, and several groups of houses.
 About 200 sailors were still holding out at midnight, and although these are ex- pected to surrender today, the author ities became 50 alarmed that the Paul regiment of the guard was dispatched to Cronstadt at o'clock this morning.

not war, and for his part he preferred the court of arbitration to the arbitration of the sword. The ambassador would neither concede nor dispute MT Balfour' s claim that Great Britain had taken pre- cedence in the matter of arbitration, but he would say that Great Britain and the United States had set an example and had settled some of the most burning questions through arbitration, and that to- day the two countries were more cordial in their relations than they had been at any time in the last hundred years.
 "If you hear of the possibility of dif- fculties over fisheries, or something else, don't believe it," said the ambassador. because such report will be the re- suit of absolute transformation.

STEAD DEFENDS
 GAR OF RUSSIA Says His Religious Faith is
 Absolute DEVOID OF PERSONAL FEAR Is Ready to Make Any Sacrifice for the Welfare of His People--Dreads Mlslnterpretlng the Will N of God.
 
DEVOID OF PERSONAL FEAR

London, November 9.--William T. Stead, who arrived in London tonight, said he wished to supplement the statement re- garding the situation in Russia made to the Associated Press in Berlin Tuesday' The whole drift of his conversation showed how deeply he was impressed with the absolute necessity of extending the fullest support and sympathy to Elm peror Nicholas, both at home and abroad.
 MT. Stead said:
 ..The birth throes of nations are bloody and the old order will not pass without much suffering I appeal to the American people for generous sympathy for the Emperor especially, and for Count Witte and the Russian nation In this time of peril. Impatience without or within might precipitate a catastrophe such as tho world has not seen in a century, and any attempts to invoke foreign intervention would be fatal. Our hope of the reac- tionaries Is to excite the national spirit against liberal reforms by representing them as threatening the national inde- pendence Bad as are the Jewish suffrages they are trivial as compared with the massacres and outrages which are inevit- able, if as the result of outside interfer- ence, Count Witte's ministry should be upset.
 Absolute Religious Faith. Since General Gordon have never met any one so imbued with absolute re- ligious faith as the Emperor of Russia. Call it fatalsm, mysticism, what you will; it is the sole secret of his marvellous composure; it is the amazement. envy and inspiration of all persons admitted to his intimacy. He Is absolute devoid of personal fear and Is ready to make any sacrifices for the welfare of his people, His only dread Is lest he should misin- terpret the will of God This combined with some lack of imperious energy and resolute will, has been chiefly responsible for the ruinous delay In the carrying out of reforms. He himself Is ready for these reforms but it would need a Peter tha Great to overcome the inertia of the bureaucratic machine"
 Turning to the actual situation MT. Stead said:
 Dissatisfaction In Army. "At present all the armed forces obey one head but there is dissatisfaction in the army, estimated by sanguine revolu- tionists at 50 per cent. Even put at that figure, 1t would mean sanguinary CIVIL war. once the Czar is gone. While he IS on top, although some of the troops will not fire on the people, none of the sol diers will fire on each other. and hence the criminal madness of the extremists who want the millinneum supplied by telenhone and whose opposition to Count witte imperils every thing, Is confined to their own fear in their own cause.
 If the Emperor but once went down. the revolutionists admit the only result would be the return of despotism in the shape of a military dictatorship, but as | long as he lives there Is reason 10 snaN his calm and unshakapie ial.n ,iia' "i'h cod,s heln all will come right"

Machine Guns Were Used.

cronstadt. November 9.-(Mdnight.)- J. Drr,rg the rioting Wednesday night ma- chine guns were employed against the mutinous sailors who had been joined by A battalion of artillerymen from the rort- ress. and which raised the total numper of mutineers to 5vv0. It is difficult 10 as certain the number of casualties, but of ficers place the figures at ao, Mahy wounded persons are in hospitals. The sailors say their chief grievances are poor food and clothing, and an insuf- fixient amount of liberty from barracks.
 Roughs joined in the pillage, but the workmen did not participate in 1t. Many of the workmen and the civilian popula- tion have either fled or are trying to flee the city. and the docks are piled high with baggage and household effects.
 City Full of Endorsements.
 At this hour the city is full of reinforce ments from St. Petersburg, and others are still arriving. Order has been restor- ed and there was no renewal of the trou- ble during the evening.
 The fires are still glowing in the mar ket. The stores and houses are boarded up and the troops are patrolling the streets.
 Searchlights from. ..warships and torpedo boats in the harbor are flashing across the waters in order to aid launches In their search for individual mutineers who are trying to escape to the mainland by boat. Thougn a majority of the mutineers have surrendered, several hundred are still hoiu,ng out in the eastern section of the town aey have thrown up barricades, hut are surrounded. and machine guns ore nosted at all streets leading to their stronehold. It is expected that the mutin- eers will submit tomorrow.

MutIny Has Been Crushed.


 The governor of Cronstadt telegraphed the general staff at midnight that the mutiny had been crushed; that there was no likelihood of any renewal of the re- volt today; that reports to the erect that members of the guard had joined the m,,tineers were false, and that there was no truth in the reports that the mutineers had seized the arsenal, and the forts. The government in his telegram said that many of the mutinous sailors tried to escape in boats to the mainland, but that they were captured and were being brought back to Cronstadt He gave no estimate of the casualties.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press. who is on the ground, however, says that the officers estimate the casual ties at 200, which is certainly very con servative in view of the reports brought by refugees who fled from the town to the mainland.

Rumors In St. Petersburg Put the Whole City Into a Ferment-Five Hundred Casualties Is

 one of the exaggerated reports of
 affair received eredence in many qua ~ and half the inhabitants of the capital believed that the mutiny was successful, and that the troops sent from here had joined in the revolt; that the entire gar rison of St Petersburg would follow suit today, and that the town of Cron- stadt had been burned to the ground, to- gether with the surrounding forts.
 The place was represented as being in the hands of 5000 sailors who had mur- dered their officers, seized the arsenal and bombarded the imperial palace at Peterhof. across the bay. Butcheries were saiu to have prevailed in the streets all day and rumors went to the extent of say ing that Father John of Cronstadt had left the bed on which he was su Jed to be dying, to lead the mutineer

,s Reoarded as Serious.

At this critical juncture there IS no at-
 tempt made in the government circles to
 minimize the seriousness Of the mutihys and it is admitted that if battalion or artillerists joined the sailors in open re- volt the mutinous spirit must have been contagious It is also admitted that while the cossacks and the guards stood the severe test of shooting upon their fel- lows in another branch of the service, there is fear that the mutiny VIII nave a hod effect mon the morale of the troops which already has been badly shaken by the revolutionary propaganda
 As soon as the news of the mutiny was received here, the Seventeenth and the
