CAPITAL WE'LL GUARDED.
The Strike Spreads-Many Arrests
Masters Support Hen.

St. Petersburg Feb 11-Dispatches received
here from Warsaw are to the effect that more
serious trouble there is apprehended. The gen
eral situation in Poland is causing grave fears.
The strike in this city extended this morning
TO Lessner's Tielman's and a number Of other
works. The men remain quiet but determined,
and declare they will not yield until they win
the fight for an eight-hour day.
The day passed without collisions between the
troops and strikers. though a number of arrests
were made after big meeting at the Moscow
Gate this morning. The police and Cossacks
did not interfere with the assembly itself, at
which there were only the reading OF papers and
desultory discussion. but they followed the
men when the meeting broke up and prevented
them from marching in large bodies to intimi-
date other workmen.
A long drive through the disturbed parts of
the city showed the presence of cavalry in
fantry and police everywhere. In the Industrial
quarters most Of the esta ablishments were closed
at , p. m, the regular Saturday half holiday
releasing practically the entire industrial popu-
lation of St Petersburg. and making it difficult
10 verify the host Of rumors. 1t was evident
however. that the strike had not yet become
general The strikers apparently have no plans
for making demonstration tomorrow, but pre-
dictions are useless.
The Society of Russian Iron Masters, repre-
senting SJO0!000O0O Of capital. has memorial
ized n. Witte, president of the Committee Of
Ministers, on the labor question, pointing out
that the attitude Of the people is a warning
that no repressiye measures viii end the deeply
rooted national movement of the Russian peo-
pie"
The ironmasters further declared that nor
mai relations between the Workmen and their
employers are only possible with system of
government based on justice and with the par
ucpauon of both employers and employees in
legislation, equality for all before the law, In
VloiaDlIlty or oomcile, the right hold meetings
and to strike, protection for workers against
the attacks of strikers, freedom Of speech and
press, and universal compulsoTt' education.
In consequence of the Threatening attitude of
the strikers in the Vjborg quarter of this city
the authorities brought in from Peterhof addi-
tonal cavalry, which arrived this morning and
was posted about the Viborg district.

PEACE RUMORS DOUBTED.
French and Japanese Officials Deny
Current RepOrtS.

Paris, Feb 11-Another crop of peace rumors
persstently floating in the European capitals
is considerably affecting the Bourse and causing
the embassies to make hasty inquiries at the
Foreign Office. Those IN the best position to
know the facts, including the Foreign Minister.
NJ. Delcasse, say the reports are unwarranted.
London, Feb. Histories purporting to ema-
nate from London concerning negotiations for
peace in the Far East find no credence in re-
sponsible quarters here The Japanese Minis
ter, Baron Hayashi, said to-day:
All my information is quite to the contrary.
cannot account for the recrudescence of these
reports. Certainly 1 know of no movement in
the direction Of peace. There is every probabil-
ity of continuance of the war. The internal
situation in Russia does not affect Japan's
aims or plans. It has not entered into our cal
culations. Japan is ready for peace now as
she has been since hostilities broke out, but the
proposals must emanate from Russia and be
such to assure permanent peace and friendly
relations between Japan and Russia
