MUST OBEY THE LAW
PRESIDENT JUBILANT OVER BEEF
 TRUST DECISION
He ia Determsned to See That the The junction. Ia Oheyed---A Warming to Posfmasters of south
 CarOIIna.

Washington. Jan. Silt can be said by authority that unless the corpora tions constituting the alleged beef trust" shall heed the injunction made permanent yesterday by the decision of tho Supreme Court of the United States the government will institute proceed ings against the individual members of the corporations to enforce the decision of the court. The proceedings will be under the criminal law if such can be instituted The minds of the Presi- dent and his cabinet are made up fully on the question. They have deter mined that the beef trust" shall obey the law, and now that the highest court in the land has upheld the hands of the administration. 1t Is said they will permit no further 'dilly-dallying' with the subject.
 At today's cabinet meeting. the Pres ident and Attorney General Moody shared in the reorganization of the members of the cabinet on the result of the beef trust" case before the Supreme Court. The President, who made no attempt to conceal his satis- faction at the decision of the Court. united with the members of the cabi- net in congratulating the Attorney General.
 The subject was considered briefly at the meeting but no definite conclu- sion was reached and what action, if any, the government would take in the future except the general determina- tion to enforce the law as 1t has been construed by the courts. The PresI- dent and the members of the cabinet regard the decision of the Supreme Court as a signal triumph of law as they have viewed 1t and arc prepared to carry it into effect absolutely.
 Some departmental matters were considered at the meeting, the most important of which was the action Of Postmaster General Wynee in notify ing John Capers, Republican National Committeeman of South Carolina that postmasters in that State will be dis missed from the service if in the fu- tnre they pay the expenses of dele- gates to political conventions. The action of the Postmaster General was approved by the President and the cabinet In principle. the declaration of MT. Wynne will apply to all other States where such methods are prac- ticed.
 The decision of the Postmaster Gen eral grew out of a complaint made to the Postoffice Department that 1t was 6 custom of postmasters in South Caro- lima to pay the railroad and other ex- penses of delegates to the present con- ventions. In the complaint two post masters were named. c. J. Mulky Of Westminster, and J. M. Stewart of Lam caster, S. C. It was alleged that they paid the expenses of certain delegates to the last Republican State convention and had requested other postmasters to contribute to the fund. An investiga- ton was ordered by the department, the work of the inspectors developing the facts of the complaint. It was the determination of the Postmaster-Ge eral to order the dismissal of the post masters, but on a showing made by Captain Capers, it was decided merely to notify the officials, through him. that the practice if continued would result in their dismissal.

VIII Be Carried Out As was Announced January 10. St. Petersburg, Jan. 31.-The fol- lowing statement was issued this even
 ing:
 The conference of the committee of ministers on the reforms proposed in the imperial decree of December 26
 was concluded January and the order on the proposed reforms shal lbe car
 ried out as was announced January 10. The committee deemed 1t necessary to consider each measure separately, and it was subsequently, proposed that in- dividual ministers should draw up plans for the execution of reforms af- fecting their respective departments
 or that special conferences to be at
 tended by delegates of institutions in terested and by local representatives
 should be held under the presidency of
 the Emperor.
 The committee further deemed 1t necessary to request the Emperor to submit certian questions which may be decided through legislative chan nels. The committee resolved to hold a provisional discussion which would serve to bring harmony out of the diff
 ferent views prevailing with regard to the chief points of the various ques tions. The council of state, however,
 will retain full power to veto the final decisions.
 Having agreed upon these methods
 of discussion the committee concluded
 that 1t would be advisable to ascertain
 the views of the chiefs of the different government departments and other non n-ministerialists. It also was re-
 solved that an imperial ukase should be drawn up in the briefest terms pos | sible and that steps assuring realiza- ton of the reform scheme should be taken.
 The committee is of the opinion that success would be rendered surer by the publication of its decisions, which
 would be confirmed by the Emperor
 The decisions already taken were sanctioned by His Majesty on January 22."

not hesitate before an inquiry. No tn- vention seems too horrible for them to print. They do not explain that on Saturday every dead wall in St Peters burg was placarded with warnings to the people not to assemble. No; but they tell that thousands of innocent people were killed and other thousands wounded and paint the streets as rum ming red with blood They even say the dead were pushed under the ice Of the Neva at night. It is infamous"
 They say nothing of isolated officers set upon by mobs in the street and hammered into insensibility, or of po- licemen killed or wounded. As mat ter of fact. complete returns show that exactly 126 are dead. Several hundred were wounded; can't give the precise figures of the wounded, but you shall have an opportunity to see the full re- ports.
 They say that Gorky will be hang ed" suggested the correspondent.
 Nonsense" replied the Grand Duke.
 'Tt Is asserted that some of the troops refused to obey commands" was the next suggestion.
 There is no question of the loyalty of the troops" asserted the Grand Duke.
 Y.'Mieht I ask your imperial high
 
 said the correspondent.
 with this unhappy war upon our shoulders. said the Grand Duke, I've are passing through a crisis. In the inte- rior there are many elements of dis cord, but the situation is not so bad as 1t is painted. The disorders at War saw. Kieff and elsewhere are largely industrial, produced by trade depres- sion and consequent lack of employ nnent on account of the war. They are not revolutionary at base"
 Then. without being asked. the Grand Duke went on: People speak of a con- stitution A constitution would mean the end of Russia as the State would be gone, anarchy would supervene, and when 1t ended. the empire would be dis lintegrated. Finland, Poland and per- haps other frontier provinces would have broken away. Russia is not ripe for constitution. Go out among the peasants who comprise the vast bulk of the empires population and try to explain to them Government by suf- frage. The peasant knows nothing of Government; he does not even know what the word means. He knows his Emperor. For him the Emperor is everything. Give the peasant a vote. and all would be anarchy. Still there is necessity for reforms, and they will be granted by the autocracy."
 Maintaining the principle of autoc- racy. then, the people will have an op- portunity to be heard in the Govern ment?" questioned the correspondent. "Yes," was the reply: they can and I am sure they will be given a voice. Of that am certain" and he repeated the words emphatically, T am certain, and continued even more deliberately, 'aThey will be given the means of pre- senting their needs and grievances di- rect to the sovereign"
 With the significant words, fore- shadowing perhaps the immediate granting of something in the nature of the zemskyzaboe (land parliamenD the heir pYesunaptive to the throne oe the Roma aofFS ended the interView.

CASES OF MACHEN FIT AL.

Prosecutions Course Has Not Been
 Decided Upon.
 Washington, Jan. 31.-The District Court of Appeals will not hand down before next Tuesday the mandate in the case of August W. Machen. Dr. Lo- renz and the Groff brothers, whose ap- plication for a writ of certiorari fol- lowing their conviction for postal ir- regularities was denied yesterday by the Supreme Court of the United s District Attorney Beach said today that he had not finally determined on his course in the matter and that should Machen now he sent to the Moundsville. W. Va, penitentiary for insprisonment on the part of the con- viction 1t would be inconvenient to bring him back here for trial on any of the charges in the thirteen other indictments pending against him.
 Until the situation has been care fully considered, according to Mir. Beach, the prosecution's course on these other charges as well as to tRe procedure in the cases of other men indicted for postal irregularities can not be definitely determined.
 MT. Beach will shortly forward to the Department of Justice a recom- mendation against the granting of a pardon to Sam A. Groff, one of those whose conviction was affirmed by the Supreme Court yesterday.
 A petition for this purpose had been presented to President Roosevelt and was referred to Mir Beach.

GRAND DUKE TALKS.
Uncle of the Emperor Reviews Events
 of Recent Occurrences.


 St. Petersburg. Feb. 1.-U:2O a. m. .l- Grand Duke Vladimir. uncle of Elm peror Nicholas and commander of the Imperial Guard. granted an interview to the Associated Press at the Dukes palace In Qua de la Cour, adjoining the Winter Palace.
 The correspondent was received in the Grand Dukes private study. The Grand Duke is a man of perhaps 65 years, a veteran in appearance as well as in fact, for he won his spurs and the cross of St. George twenty five wears ago in the Plains before Plevna. He is big-framed and dark visaged and has iron gray hair, and resembles more his brother. Alexander III than his nephew Emperor Nicholas. Although his face and frame show marks of re- cent illness, the nervous energy he dis plays gives the impression of man of force and action.
 You must remember" said tho Grand Duke in French, you must remember l am a grand duke and a subject of tho emperor. As such I am extremely loyal to him, and l am Russian from the crown of my head to the tip of my toes," accompanying the words With sweeping gesture.
 What information can I give you?"
 The newspapers abroad" suggested the correspondent, "have made many statements regarding the events of January 22."
 T know; I have read accounts in the foreign press. 1 have stood aghast at the frightful stories of the butchery of innocent people which they have printed. I know they say we'll inten- tioned patriots with a priest at their head, coming peacefully to place their grievances before his majesty were ruthlessly shot down in the streets, but we know that behind this peaceful procession was an anarchistic and socialstic plot of which the over whelming majority of the workmen were mainly innocent
 We know from examination of the dead and those arrested that some alleged priests were actually revolu- tionary agitators and students in dis- gujse We had to save the city from a mob. Unfortunately to do so in- nocent and guilty suffered alike. But suppose 10000 men had reached the gates of the Winter Palace; they would have sacked it as the mob sacked Versailles. From the palace they would have gone elsewhere and the whole city would have been delivered over to anarchy. riot. bloodshed and flames. Our duty was the duty of every government.
 '"The same situation has confronted cities Tn otner countries. why, because this occurred in Russia should the whole world point the finger of scorn at us? In the midst of our difficulties why should we be turned upon? Why should America, especially. misinter- bret and think i'll of us? We have always been friends-friends of a cen tury. friends when America needed friends I remember when America was our great friend. Why has all this changed? What has Russia done to deserve it? What has Russia done to America? Why should the foreign nress. especially that of Great Britain

 Warshaw. Jan. 3l.-The official ac- count of the disturbances here on January 2 and 2S. published in The Varshavskionevik. details the com mencement of the strike at a. m. Jan uary 27 with increasing disorder throughout the day. Earlier the strikers went about compelling work men of other establishments to cease work until 15,000 were out by midday. Peaceable inhabitants became panic stricken fearing famine. and purchased all the available food supplies and be- sieged the bakeries. Rioting began about 3 D. m. when there was an almost general cessation of work throughout the city; and owing to the turbulent attitude of mobs parading the streets the police were reinforced by soldiers. At 5 D. m the strikers attacked the police and gendarms. stontng them. Some shots were fired and the police were compelled to return the fire by which two strikers were killed. Several other collisions occurred during the evening. The strikers footed the liquor stores and many other establish ments. Comparative quiet was restor- ed however. by 10 D. m.
 On the morning of January 2S, bands of strikers reappeared. The soldiers showed a peaceful attitude and disturb ances began. professional thieves and hooligans joining the ranks of the pa raders The telegraph kiosks were closed and all vehicles stopped Many carts were footed and the lamps brok- en. The crowds grew in numbers and the disorder was so great that the mili- tary were unable to cope with them. Houses and shops were set on fire and piilaged. but finally the troops dispeTs- ed the rioters by force of arms. The crowds in some instances were we'll armed and fired volleys at the troops. Barricades were erected in the streets by strikers who. thus protected, dis- charged fusilades at the soldiers in several quarters of the city. and

 London, Jan. 31.-The Daily Mails Warsaw correspondent reports res toration of dangerous ferment-
 The majority of the troops. the cor respondent says, have been with drawn from the centre of the city and the end of the strike is in sight. There is some fighting still in the outer su- burbs and cases of treacherous stab ping of soldiers are growing more fre- quent. Vehicular trafic has been re- sumed and supplies of food are arriv- ing. Hundreds of domiciliary visits and arrests have been made. All sus- pected persons are stopped, searched and arrested if found to be carrying weapons
 Carefully investigation convinces me that the dead number 300. The rumors of dynamite outrages at Lodz and that 25,000 Lodz workmen are march, ing on Warsaw are unfounded. The Lodz men have struck, but remain quiet.
