CITY FULL OF RUMORS
st. Petersburg Stirred Over
Move to Suppress Poland.
SCARE ON THE BOURSE
RUMORED UKASE WAS ISSUED
OVER WHITES HEAD.
But Cars Attitude Toward 1t Shown
to Have Been Taken Upon
Premier's Advice.
SCARE THE B0URSE

ST. PETERSBURG, November IL, i:30 p.
m.-The formal proclamation of marital la"
throughout Russian Poland and the pro-
mitigation of the governments intention 10
suppress the Polish movement to secure
autonomy almost created a panic on the
bourse today imperial fours again falling
TO ST IndustriaIs seem TO have no bot
tom.
The city is full of ruienors to the effect
that the imperial ukase was issued over
Count Whites head at the insdgaton OF
the reactionaries which is equivalent to
the counts retirement but it can be stated
with postiveness that the action was taken
upon the premier's advice.
Count Witte favored and impressed on his
majesty the advisablity of restoring Fin
lands constitution and reversing the policy
of the Russifica ton of the Grand Duchy,
but to surrender autonomy to Poland alter
the old grievance of the Poles had been
redressed and they had been placed upon
an equality with Russians the court con-
sidered would only be prelude TO an at
tempt to set up the ancient k1nSuom as
a separate entity and would involve uitl-
mately either the dismemberment OF the
empire or the necessity for bloody sup.
preston such marked the reVolutlons Oh
1881 and 1853.
take the bull by the horns and let the Poles
understand that the separatist movement
would not he tolerated and that until they
came to their senses further efforts to place
in opera ton the reforms manifesto would
be suspended.

Aged Priest Attacked in Church.

LATROBE, Pa, November 13.-While en-
gagged in the celebration of mass at st.
Roses Church, at Bradenville, yesterday
Father Shea, the aged pastor was attacked
by John Ravonski and stabbed in the chest.
Ravonski, who was in an intoxicated condi-
ton, was swearing and disputing with
members of the congregation, when he was
approached by Janitor Sabola, who tried
to quiet him, and falling, attempted to
eject him. Father Shea came down from
the altar to demonstrate with him, when he
suddenly drew stiletto and stabbed him
in the breast, cutting across the heavy
vestments, which caused the blade to
glance aside, and probably saved his life.

THE SUIT CASE MURDER
MORRIS NATHAN SET FREE IN
BOSTON TO-DAY.

BOSTON November l3.-Morrs Nathan,
who was arrested two weeks ago today in
Pittsburg in connection with the death in
this city of Susanna Geary, the Cambridge
chorus girl, was given his freedom in the
municipal court today.
The reason for this action was that the
grand jury, which has considered all the
cases growing out of the Geary girls death
and which indicted four persons, failed to
find any indictment against him. Nathan
was subpoenaed to appear at the trial of
the persons who have been indicted as one
of the important witnesses.
The general charge of abortion against
Dr. Percy D. Mcleod was quashed in the
district court today, since the grand jury
has already disposed of the case by report
ing an indictment charging accessory be-
fore and after the fact in the death of
Miss Geary.

PRESERVATION OF NIAGARA.
American and Canadian Governments
Control the Situation.

Gen Oswald H. Ernst, Corps of En-
gneers. has returned from Buffalo, where
the international waterways commission
has been meeting. The commission has
been considering and will again take up the
subject of the preservation of Niagara
Falls. The opinion of the engineers is that
while the making of contracts for taking
water from Niagara river is matter un-
der the jurisdiction of the state. the
actual taking of water requires a permit
from the United States and Canadian gov
ernments 1t is claimed by the engineers
that the land is controlled by the states.
but that the water, under the law Is part
of the navigation of the Great Lakes, and
should be regulated by both governments.
1t has been suggested that the preservation
of Niagara might be made possible by
treaty, and that the two governments con-
troll the water by an agreement. That
might again raise the question of Inter
national domain" subject that was dis
cussed at some length when the United
States supported the revolution at Panama
in the interest of building the Panama
canal.
The commission Saturday heard the par
ties interested In taking water from st.
Mary's river for water power purposes
Representatives of contractors desiring to
take water from the river and of the Lake
Carriers Association presented their views
The commission passed a resolution re-
questing the Canadian government to adopt
the system In force in the United States
regarding water levels. That plan places
the taking of water from lakes and nav
igable streams under the control of the
government engineers. and the approval
OF the Secretary of War must be obtained
before water can be taken. Permits al
ways contain a reservation that whenever
the use of water interferes with the levels
TO the detriment of navigation the taking
OF water must cease. If both governments
adopt similar regulations the control of the
water of the outlet of Lake Superior will
no doubt be placed under a joint board.

GIRLS SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.
Unique Protest of Young Women at
Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November 13.-A
peculiar strike went into effect today at
the shrtmaking establishment of Tutelman
Bros & Faggen, when 500 girls decided to
quit work because the firm had virtually
discharged 300 male employees Last Tues
day about 1G0 girls employed in making
buttonholes and sleeves stopped work be-
cause the firm refused their demands for
more pay
Instead of granting the demand, it is said
the firm suspended the remaining 400
seamstresses and the 800 male employees
with the ultimatum that they could return
to work only upon inducing the 100 strik-
ing girls to resume.
This arrangement did not meet with the
approval of the strikers. On Saturday the
firm notified all the female employees to re-
turn to work this morning. This notice
the girls say was not sent to the men
and all members of Shirtmakers' Local
Union, No. G7, held impromptu meetings
