THE RUSH TOWARD ANARCHY.
The Step of the Government Has Been
 Met.

St. Petersburg, Dec. II, via Eydtkuh- nen, Prussia.-There is every indica- ton that the governments challenge will be accepted and that within eigh- teen hours a general strike throughout Russia will be ordered. A terrible storm has been raised by the arrest of Krustaleff, president of the commit tee of the workmen's council and a number of socialistic leaders. "Reac- ton has come" were the words on ev- cry lip and in the liberal extremist camp there was only one opinion-tha. 1t must be resisted to the bitter end.
 The newspaper editors meeting yes terday declare that the law forbidding the discussion of vital questions must be lifted. The result was that the edi- tions of a half dozen radical papers were confiscated. Absolute anarchy prevails at Livonia. A messenger re- ports that the streets of Riga are flowing with blood simultaneous with the arrests here of leaders, all mem bers of the union of employees of posts telegraph of Moscow were arrested.
 The municipal board of arbitration has appealed to Witte for the release of krustaleff owing to the threat of general strike unless he is liberated.
 Warsaw, Dec. 1.-The central com n1ittee of the union of railroad men, now in session at Moscow will prob ably order a general railroad strike to begin at midnight in consequence of the arrest of Krustaleff at St Peters burg. The local committee of the railroad mems union has received a mo- tlfication from the committee at St. Petersburg to that effect

WASHING PARTLY HUNS OUT.

The four territorial delegates were made members of the committee on territories by unanimous consent MT Lamar of Florida submitted a news paper clipping to the speaker and asked for ruling as to whether he could be- recognized on it as a ques- tion of personal privilege. The para graph was read to the house. IL pur- ported to quote the minority leader, Mr. Williams, in an explanation of leaving Messrs. Lamar and Shackle- ford of Missouri off the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, the reason given being that these two members had broken caucus faith at the last session in favoring the Hearst railroad rate bill in preference to the Davy bill, the latter a caucus bill
 "The chair is quite clear" Speaker Cannon announced, that the para graph read does not present a uues- tion of personal privilege"
 MT. Lamar: I am in doubt about it myself, but I desire to stop and debar forever any possible suggestion that I did not bring the question up on the floor of the house.
 MT. Payne, the republican floor lead- CT, suggested that MT. Lamar ask for unanimous consent to proceed.
 Il will ask it," responded Mr. La mar. q would like a square deal"
 MT. Williams interposed: Pending that request and reserving the right to object" with emphasis on the word "object," he declared loudly, 'I wish to say that in the interest of democratic harmony and effectiveness and of the general good will, that they will not be promoted by washing democratic linen for the amusement of the repub- lican members. I object"
 There was some democratic applause at this statement. MT. Lamar first asked MT. Williams to withdraw his objection and upon the refusal of MT. Williams to do so demanded that he call democratic caucus for tomor- row.
 That is not a question for consider ation here," retorted MT. Williams,

THE BIGGER COMMITTEES.
The Republican Membership of Them
 Is Increased.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The addition of a republican member to all of the important committees of the house has enabled Speaker Cannon to solve the difficultp roblem of committee assign ments in manner which appears most satisfactory to both parties in the house. Only two important chairman ships were vacant, the committee on appropriations and on public buildings and grounds. In filling the former the speaker followed the precedent and looked to the whole house for avail able material. MT. Tawney of Minne- suta, was chosen chairman of the ap- propriations committee and MT. Bar tholdt of Missouri, chairman of the committee on public grounds and buildings. MT. Tawney gives up his chairmanship of the committee on in dustrial arts and expositons and his place on the ways and means commit tee. MT. McCleary was transferred from the appropriations to the ways and means committee and retains the chairmanship of the committee on li- brary.
 MT. Gardner of Massachusetts, be- comes chairman of the industrial arts and eXpositions. William Alden Smith of Michigan leaves the foreign affairs and the chairmanship of the Pacific railroads committee to take the added republican place on the ways and means, J. Warren Keller of Ohio, form CT speaker, is appointed to the appro- pritaionS. MT. Beidler of Ohio, is transferred from the foreign affairs to the District of Columbia committee and Messrs. Fassett of New York, Lamar of Florida, McNary of Massa- chusetts and Garner of Texas, on the democratic side are added to the for eign affairs.
 The minority committee places were placed by MT. Williams, the minority leader. MT. Shackelford of Missouri and Mr. Lamar of Florida are succeed ed on the interstate and foreign com merce committee by Messrs. Bartlett of Georgia and Russell of Texas. Mr. Underwood of Alabama and Granger Of Rhode Island were named for the democratic vacancies on the ways and means committed

newspaper clipping purporting to quote MT. Williams to the effect that MT. Lamar and MT. Shackleford of Mis- souri, had been left off the interstat te commerce committee because they had failed to follow the democratic caucus action of last session on the railroad rate bill.
 Speaker Cannon suggested that the statement read did not constitute q question of personal privilege which entitled MT. Lamar to the floor. "The gentleman might proceed by unani- nous consent" suggested Mir Payne. How much time does he want-an hour?"
 I was here that MT. Williams strode forward from his seat in the rear. He hailed the speaker with word and ge3- ture, and when he got his eye, he re- served his right to object only enough to make a statement that, in the in terest of democratic harmony, fair ness and of general good will which will not be promoted by washing dem ocratic linen for amusement of the re- publicans of the house. object"
 Immediately the question became interesting, MT. Lamar faced MT. Will
  charged him with taking the matter into the newspapers. Shackleford was on his feet vainly demanding to ask a question and many democrats ap- plauded the stand taken by Mr. Will Hams, Lamar demanded that Williams call a democratic caucus tomorrow to allow him to proceed. Speaker Can non wielded his gravel vigorously and declared everybody out of order, and in the midst of the confusion recognized MT. Payne for a motion to adjourn, which was declared carried, and the session was over until Wednesday,
 Before this incident the session had proceeded without hitch. Unanimous consent necessary to increase the size of the larger committees had been given and in this manner they in creased the republican representa- ton.

Washington, D. C., Dec. I.-Mr. Williams, the minority leader of the house, stepped on the lid' today just in time to prevent revelations in the nature of an open criticism of the committee assignments of certain of his colleagues for which he is respon- sible. MT. Payne, the republican leader. suggested a way by which the revelations might be made but MT. Williams assumed all responsibility and declined to allow the washing of democratic linen for the amusement of the republicans"
 The incident followed the announce ment of the committees. MT. Lamar of Florida, submitted and had read a

 rimdn'S Threats
Which Induced Him to Divide Con- troi of the Equitable with the Rail- road Haenate.

New York, Dec. 1.-The legislative life insurance committee appeared to- night to have succeeded in it's attenps to make Thomas F. Ryan divulge what E. Fl. Hartman said, or threatened to influence him to divide his control 0r the Equitable Life Assurance society. District Attorney William Ii. Jerome. who was asked by the committee Ia take steps to punish Mir. Ryan for re fuslng to answer the questions about Hartman, reported to the committee today that he had been informed bv MT. Ryan's counsel that MT. Ryan ought to answer. Jerome also wrote to the committee that he believes NIT. Ryan will answer if brought before tho committee again.
 Ryan, who bought stock of the Equitable Life Assurance society last summer and placed it in a trust to hc voted by three trustees. of whom Gro yer Cleveland is one. was on the wit ness stand before the insurance in Vesiigating committee last Friday. II testified that on the day he got pos-es- sion of Equitable stock F. II. Har- riman, president of the Union Pacin and Southern Pacific. asked :I;m for a share of the stock. What Mir. Harri- man said to him to induce him to part with that stock MT. Ryan refused to tell the committee.
 MT. Hughes declined to say when MT. Ryan will be recalled, but it Is presumed that he will take the witness stand tomorrow or the following day. Subsequently Guthrie. Cravath and Henderson. counsel for MT Ryan. gave out a statement that they have adviseI MT. Ryan that he should answer the questions and that he is prepared to do so whenever recalled by the invesIi- gating committee.
 The committee was engaged for a part of tke time today inquiring into the affairs of the Prevalent Savine- Life Assurance society of New York. Hughes had brought out by question ing Edward w. Scott. the president of that company. that when Frank F. Hadley of New Bedford, Mass. secured control of the company in 1896. ne bor- rowed $162, 900 from the company on his collateral notes to pay up for the stock of the insurance company. AIT. Scott testified that Mir HadIey never repaid those loans and that the insur- oiiSN ib-siAs lNdii.tu OfilN e0NsNNV the safe of the collateral. The com panies in which MT. Hadley was inter ested failed and he shortly afterwards died.
 Tt cost tae insurance company just $132.O0O for Mir. Hadley to get control of it." said Hughes.
 MT. Hughes read from a statement of the legal expenses of the Prevalent Life company a list of five payments made to Andrew Hamilton. the legisla- tive agent of the New York Life. who is now in Paris and who has been asked to come to New York and tes- tify. The payments covered a pCrioi from 1898 to 1901. One was $500 ana another $2,50O. the amounts of the others not being stated. The witness said that Hamilton had visited the in Surance departments of Illinois and Kansas and possibly some other states to secure permission for the PrOvident Life Insurance company to issue pol icles the first year without a reserve being required. The company got the permission.
