CAUSES MIGHTY SENSATION.
Significance of the Appointment of
 Trepof as Dictator.

$
 St. Petersburg, June 6.Emperor Nicholas ukase virtually creating Gov ernor General Trepoff dictator, has giv- en rise to a mighty sensation. It is the imperial recognition of the crisis in the internal affairs of Russia and in- stinctively recalls the step taken by the emperors grandfather, Alexander IT., immediately after the attempt to blow up the winter palaca in 1880, when he appointed a commission of public safe- ty headed by General Loris- Melikoff, except that the position of General Trepoff will be more analogous to that occupied by Loris- Melikoff, when later in the same year he was appointed minister of the interior with full con- trol of the police.
 Reaction and repression" will doubt less be the quick interpretation put up- OH the emperor's act as soon as it be- comes known to the liberals. Buried in the columns of the Official Messen- ger, and coming almost without warn ing, the ukase is not as yet generally known. but to the initiated, the fu- ture of Constantine Petrovitch Pobied- nostseff, chief procurator of the holy synod, looms large. Behind the scenes the old man remains stern and uncom- promising as ever He left what many believed to be his dying bed last Thurs day and went to Tsarskoe-Selo, where he spent almost the entire day with his majesty.
 The decision to place in the hands of fha SfrnnCdc ;,, Trepoff is universally recognized as be- ing, the power to crush with an iron hand the political agitation which has brought Russia almost to the brink of revolution according to public belief. is the fruit of Pobiedonostseff's visit. So far as can be ascertained not a single one of the emperor's minister's was in the secret. The ukase came like a. bolt from a clear sky. M. Bouligan, minister of the interior, could not face the humiliation and immediately re- signed and it is not improbable that other ministers will follow suit. It is rt1mored in the city that Count Lams- dorff, the foreign minister, has already placed his resignation in the hands of the emperor, and that he will be suc- @ceeded by M. Muravieff, former minis ter of justice and now ambassador at Rome, Admiral Alexieff has also de- manded the acceptance of his resigna- ton.
 On the surface of things, therefore. it looks ominously like the placing of Ire poff at the helm to deal with the inter- nal crisis which the determination to pursue the war is apt to cause h. deed, there are rumors that a general mobilization already has been decided upon, and that the appointment of Tre- poff was made so as to enable the gov- ernment to carry it out.
 It is dangerous to forecast the result of the change in the situation. As long as there was vent for escaping steam in congresses and assemblies pressure did not accumulate, but with the extra weight on the safety valve and with the fires of internal agitation burning hotly there may be an explosion.

BIG OCEAN LINER ASHORE
FETCHES UP ON LONG ISLAND NEAR FREEPoRT.
Identity of vessel Not Known--BIows Long and Loud Continuous Distress Signals-Life Saving station at Free port Abandoned, only one Man Being in Charge. s

 New York, June GA big incoming steamship went ashore late last night off Point Lookout. to the east of Jones
 Inlet, near Freeport, II. I. > The steamship is supposed to be 8 liner, but up to long after midnight it
 had been impossible to learn her name. The sea was running extremely high, The steamship blew loud and long continued distresss signals for an hour, and then began burning red, blue, white and green signals, which appar-
 entity were unanswered from any source. tss ," The life saving station at Freeport is abandoned. there being only one
 man in charge. As soon as he heard the distress signals hebegan burning 1 red fire on the beach to warn off the vessel which had already gone aground. 1 The steamship stopped signalling at
 about 11:30 o'clock, afer being ashore | for an hour and forty-five minutes, and began playing two searehlights on the I water in an effort to locate her posi- | tion. -
 1 Persons living on the coast were posi- l tive that the grounded vessel is one of the big liners. They base this be-
 lief on the long line of lights showing
 and the height of the last row of lights i above the water.
 | Except for the lights, the outline of the vessel could not be made out I The incoming liners scheduled to ar
 rive to-day include the Kaiser Wilhelm
 IL, the big Cretic and the Astoria. | The coast lookouts of the Merritt
 Chapman Wrecking company reported
 to their office in this city that steam l ship was ashore, but said no calls had
 been made for assistance.
 The steamer is off what is known as
 Jones Beach, a long, low-lying sandbar
 about seven or eight miles to the west | of Fire Island.
 The sea is smooth and as the steamer l lies she is believed to be in no danger.
 Arrangements have been made to send
 boat from Freeport to the steamer at
 daybreak.

PEACE CONFERENCES
 AT THE WHITE HOUSE
BRITISH, FRENCH AND JAPAN ESE REPRESENTATIVES, SEE
 THE PRESIDENT.

TakRhira Has Only Been Able in an In-
 formal Way to Inform Him What
 Japan is Likely to Demand-Roose-
 welt Considered the Most Valuable
 Medium for the Preliminary Consult
 tations Between the BeIIigerents.
 Washington. June 5.-Peace in the Far East was the subject of another conference at the White house tonight between the president and MT. Taka- hlra, the Japanese minister. It was the third conference of the day which the president has had on the subject. M. Jusserand, the French ambassador. and MT. O'Boirns, the British charge d'affaires, having been callers at the White house this morning.
 Thus far the minister has not been able to tell the president, except in the most general and unofficial way, what Japan is likely to demand of Russia when the latter can be brought to dis cuss peace. Even the minister himself has no idea what Japan's indemnity may amount to. The president was unable to give MT. Takahira any in- itimation of how Russia has viewed the annihilation of her fleet, and until Count Cassini's report of his visit to the White house has been replied to from St. Petersburg no further prog lress toward peace can be made in that direction.
 Meantime, with the assistance of Mr
 Takahira, the president is acquainting himself as fully as possible with the view of the Japanese government on l the whole subject of peace. It is real- ized by the Washington government that the mikado has a formidable war party in Japan to cope with and this is one of the reasons why it is difficult for Tokio to give Washington definite ] information about what her terms would be in the light of Admiral Togo's latest victory
 Regarding the general situation 1t can be announced that Europe regards 1 the president as the most valuable me-
 dium for the preliminary communica-
 tions between St. Petersburg and Tokio and Count Cassini, the Russian ambas- sador, and MT Takahira are both con- vinced of the presidents sincerity and
 friendliness to both belligerents in conference regarding the ending of the I war.

JACOB H. SCHIFF QUITS EQUITABLE DIRECTORATE

New York, June 5.-Right on the
 heels of the announcement to-day that
 T. Jefferson Coolidge had followed the
 example of Messrs. Prick, Bliss and
 Hartman in resigning from the board of directors ofstbe Equitable Life As-
 surance company, came another that
 Jacob H. Schiff, head of the firm or
 Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, bankers, had also quit the directorate. Mir. Schiff's letter rendering his res- ignation as a member of the Equitable board was sent to President Alexander, and is as follows:
 'New York, June 5.
 "James W. Alexander, Esq, President
 Equitable Life Assurance society:
 Dear sir: In view of the proceedings at the meeting of the board of directors of the Equitable Life Assurance society held last Friday I feel constrained af- ter mature reflection to tender my res- l ignation as a director of the society to
 take effect at once. .,~&... Throughout the recent controversy I have studiously refrained from any ac-
 tion which might add to the complica- tlOilS "illl WllISu liiC SOSlOLS lAebO DNSiA struggling. have even remained si- | lent in the face of many malicious and
 baseless statements regarding the bus 1 mess transactions between my firm and l the society, which have been dissem- | mated through your agents, nothwith- ] standing your failure to publicly dis avow and deny these statements in-
 stead of sending me Gas you have re- gently done), private messages expres- sive of regret for the indisereet and over-zealous actions of your friends.
 "The meeting of the directors last I Friday, offered, it seemed to me, a su- | preme opportunity for rescuing the so- ciety from the evil situation into which | it had been cast by factional disputes | and by the conduct of it's officers. If you and MT. Hyde had been able at the crit 1 ical moment to rise to the occasion and | had supported my motion for the ap- ! pointment of committee of directors consisting of men of national reputa- l tion for high character and Independent I judgmen, with authority to select a
 chairman of the board with plenary ! powers, just and effective reorgani- | Zatlon Of the management or the socie- | ty and the restoration of public confl- l dence might have been possible, but I you and MT. Hyde permitted the psy- ] chological moment to slip by and rec
 ognized the mistake only after the dis
 integration of the board of directors
 had begun and it was too late to repair the damage which had been done.
 Tn view of the present situation it
 does not seem likely that there will be 1 an opportunity for independent action
 in the board and I have reluctantly
 come to the conclusion that I cannot l longer be of service to the society by
 remaining upon it's board of directors | of which I have been member for | twelve years.
