workmen. their ranks swelled by num-
bers of sympathizers, have been
marching. The employers again de-
clared they would not concede to the
strikers demands, and at once pro-
cessions began forming. Similar DEM

cities. 1t is feared should the parad-
Ing continue rioting will result
Troops have been sent TO PutiIoff

As the afternoon progressed the
strikers became more bold They
broke into several factories and the

workers to join them. The police ad-

Gar Had Narrow Escape.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 2O.-Additional
particulars show the emperor had a
miraculous escape. There is no longer
any donbt the missiles came from a
gun on the bourse battery which was
loaded with grape. Some bullets ac-
fually struck the chapel in which the
emperor was standing, cut the staff
OF one OF the standards and riddled
the basement windows of the palace.

st. Petersburg. Jan. 20.-The police
are today continuing the investigat ton
the yesterdays shooting affair in
which the czar narrowly escaped be-
ing shot by a shot fired as a salute.
The belief is more general today that
loaded shot was placed in the gun
by design.
Captains Doydloff and Karhoff, and
Lieutenants Joutaissoff, Pereibonoff
and Miller, who were on duty with the
artillery, fired the salute. These Of
ficers have been rigidly examined,
but nothing is learned to throw light
on the mystery. The incident is now
completely overshadowed by appre-
hension caused by the spread of labor
disorders
There is a strong probability that
troops will be called out to cope
with any disturbances which may be
caused by the strikers. All soldiers
are now at headquarters under arms
and ready to answer a hurry call. The
strikers, 1t is learned, will hold a
large meeting tonight at which their
future program will be discussed.

Smoot took the stand in his own be-
half this morning. He stated he was
born in Salt Lake January 10, 1862,
of Abram and Anna X. SmQot both
Mormons. and the latter a plural
wife. He was married September II,
1884, in the temple at Logan to Alpha

Is he took the endowment-cererknn
at his fathers urgent request. Had

he would give the details.
He denied there is anything in the
endowment obligation about wen
geance." and was surprised that such
statements should have been made,
as Joseph Smith formulated the obH-
CATION and 1t had never been chang
ed and Smith would hardly call for
vengeance ON account of his death
when still alive.
In 1872 Smoot moved to Provo,
Utah, where he has lived ever since.
He was counsellor to President Smith
for five years, and in 1900 became an
apostle. 81 took no oath as such"
he declared land when l later took
the oath as United States senator
there was no mental reservation, and
there has been nothing in my past to

Up to 1884 he had been demo-

president of the church If he had any
so that his duties as senator would
not interfere with his duties to the
church. The request was granted.
Then he organized his campaign with
which the church had nothing to do.
In answer to a question the witness
said, "As senator I would vote just

try. It is not the business OF the
