RUSSIA FEARS
TROUBLE TUESDAY
ReVOIutiOniStS Plan Big
Demonstration and Gov
ernnent Seems Helpless
MORE TROOPS FOR CAPITAL

st. Petersburg, Dec. 3.-The councils
held at Tssrkskoe Selo under the
Cars Presidency yesterday and today
demonstrate that the junior ranks Of
the bureaucracy are suspected by the
.Governmen, of being with the revo.u-
tionists. Count Witte is known to
strongly hold this view against per-
sonagcs who wished to reinstate FIVE
Moscow telegraph operators, whose
dismissal on account of fomenting
the local strike is the immediate
cause of the Governments present
disastrous situation.
Count Witte strongly objected on
the ground that there are 100000
lTchinoyiks IN Russia.
It is understood that the Car re-
fused ct first to see that a great prin-
ciple was involved and wished to rein
state the dismissed men by a personal
act of grace, but he has since been
convinced that concession would be-
fatal.
. It is certain that a climax viii be
reached Tuesday, when all the en-
iployes of the Government throughout
the Empire are due to receive their
monthly salaries. If the strikers obtain
their money they will continue the
struggle. The revolutionary parties are
strongly encouraging them.
Many reg ments were brought to
the capital today to meet this emer
gency.

RESOLUTIONS ON
VICE ADOPTED
Methodist Preachers Getting
Ready For Crusade on
DiSOTderIy Houses
SAY POLICE CAN STOP EVIL

The question OF crusade against
disorderly houses IN this city came vi
Tor discussion at the meeting Of th'
Methodist Episcopal Preachers Asso
citation in Union M. -. Church thil
morning. Last week "a committee wal
appointed TO look into the condition.
OF the social evil in this city and theii
investigations resulted in the presenta.
tion by Presiding Elder Mowbray
chairman Of the committee, Of the fol.
lowing resolutions;
Resolutions Adopted.
Your committee i'm the matter
of law enforcement in our city
would report as follows:
I. IL seems entirely clear that
there is ample law on the statute
books for the suppression OF all
the known houses Of ill-fame In
this city: and that it is clearly
within the power OF the police au-
thorities TO accomplish the enforce
ment Of these laws. IL they should
so decree.
ID That this law enforcement
rests in the Police Commissioners.
who are men Of known probity and
righteousness. and who desire to
see the city well governed.
Sd. That every house OF ill
fame is known to the police. and
even the number and names Of the
inmates. who are thus plying their
awful trade with the knowledge and
consent OF the custodians OF public
morals. who are sworn and paid to
enforce the laws as they are.
4th. That this state OF things is
due 10 the false reasoning that the
authorities are judges OF the law.
and are at liberty to refuse en-
forcement OF law when they think
70 wise so to do. This is the COM
bined doctrine Of lynch-law and an
archy. IL is utterly subversive OF
all law, and is the fell parent of
that brood of iniquitios which
makes American cities. with the
best and most enlightened laws i'm
the world. often the worst governed.
General Grant is the author OF
the wise sentiment that the best
way to get rid of a bad law is to
enforce IL. That certainly is the
only way to profit by a good law.
] AINtfARAf nN AZ AiA'ANAA ~ AnAo
Preachers Meeting:
]. That the law for the suppress
sion of houses Of ill-fame is in the
interest OF public decency and good
order and ought 60 be faithfully
and fully enforced for the public
good.
.. That the centralizing OF such
places in districts is a protection TO
vice and a promotion OF the very
evils which the law proposes to
suppress.
3. That we call on the Police
Commissioners in the name Of all
that is good and orderly to sup
press. through their capable subor-
dinates these illegal and abomin-
able Institutions.
4. That we appoint a committee
Of three % our number to cooper
ate with other organizations and
people i'm this city who are seeking
the ends named in these resolu-
tions.

Remarks upon the resolution were
made by the Revs Murray, A. T. Scott,
Mowbray and others. The Rev. A. T.
Scott said: If we are going to protect
vice we had better repeal our statutes
or go a step fartehr and do the thing
as Il is done in Paris but II we wish
TO enforce the law we had better en-
force IL properly"
The resolutions were adopted al the
close of the discussion by unanimous
vote and the same committee appointed

bodied in the resolutions.
