IL H. Uncertain.

St. Petersburg, Dec 23--It Is diff
cult to Judge whether the general po-
litical strike can be ranked as a sue
cess or failure. The authorities are
bewildered by the strength Of the
strikers and the strike has reached
formidable proportions in ST. Peters
burg, where. even according to OFF,
clals, over one-thlrd of the work
men obeyed the order of the work
ner'a council.
Strike leaders are confidently as
serting others will be brought into
line Immediately.
The government while entering on
vigorous offensive campaignagalnst
the revolutionary leaders and maxi
ing arrests by the wholesale main
talns an air of calm confidence.
1t has issued reassuring commu-
nication declaring that all necessary
measures have been taken to prevent
disorders.
The proieiarlat organizations are
marshaling all their forces.
The prevailing impression Is that
with the limited funds at the disposi-
ton OF the unions, the strike must
spread rapidly and enter a new and
more violent phase or the game VIII
be lost by the revolutionaries.
Cold weather and hunger likely
will have a great eect in the govern
ments favor.
In Moscow the striking railroad
men and over classes who see the
bread taken from their mouths by the
strike are already at each others
throats.

St Petersburg. Dec. 23.--some
strike leaders. already discouraged
by the prospects of failure. do not
hesitate TO say the decisions to ac-

pared was a blunder and that IL can
only be redeemed by forcing the con-
fIct which will arouse the populace.
Several attempts at "red flag" de-
monstratlons in the Vassill Ostrov

Clarkson, a pistol which he changed
from his coat to his trousers pocket,
the day of the shooting as he, Rose.
started into the Fraternity building.
The defense showed today that
once while the Loving jury was at
the Palmer House, Deputy Sheriff
Lydon left eleven of them licked in
room while he took the twelfth
juror to his place of business to lock
1t up. 1t was also claimed that some
of the jury had been separated once,
If not twice, at other times during
the trial. Attorney James read a de-
cision of the court of appeals revers-
ing case that was almost exactly
similar, where one of the Jurors had
been taken away by a deputy and
separated from the others for twenty
minutes. The contention of the de-
Tense was that it did not have to be
shown that there was anything wrong
done. but simply that the possibility
existed.
Judge Reed at IL o'clock said he
wanted to examine the authorities
more fully before he finally passed
on the case. saying he would do II
at 8 O'Clock this afternoon. He de-
clared. however, that he would not
feel inclined to grant a new trial OH
the strength of the new evidence
claimed. but that the separation OF
the jury was more serious matter,

federal authorities will take steps to
hustle Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick to

the right to parole prisoners. Hence
their desire to get her to Columbus,
and later to federal prison.

Des Moines Plain Clothes Man Charged
With Attempted Murder.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 27-Detective
Frank Brothers, who yesterday after
noon shot and perhaps fatally injured,
Howard Wittell a 12-year-old lad, was
today arrested on charge of attempt
to murder Chief of Police Jones filed
the information before Justice Dun
can.
The Wittell lad was shot by the de-
tective in the leg and arm, while the
boy lay in the alley at the rear of III
Walnut street. The boy, who had been
in company with two others, attempted
to escape from the detective by jump
ing from the roof of the one-story
shed.
After shooting the lad, Detective
Brothers jumped from the roof on
which he was standing, and grabbing
the child roughly by the shoulder,
pulled him to his feet and dragged
him, stumbling, fainting and spllllng
blood from his shattered arm at every
step. The little fellow collapsed at the
door of the police station and was car
ried upstairs to the city physicians
room, where the best Of medical at

Serious Shipping Situation Con
fronts Exporters at Canadian
Pacific Terminals
FILLED TO CAPACITY
Wheat Was Arriving at the Rate Of
One Carload Per Minute, But There
Was No Method Of Caring For the
croecarryins Rate Not satisfac-
tory to Vessel Owners.

Winnipeg, Man, Sept. 27.-A very
serious shipping situation has develop
ed at Fort William and Port Arthur,
lake terminals Of the Canadian Pact-
fic and Canadian Northern railways,
as the result Of which the export of
wheat from the Canadian belt may be
seriously hampered.
Wheat has been arriving at the lake
terminals at the rate Of one carload
minute till the elevators are filed all
most to overflowing. The vessel own
ers demand that the carrying rate
from Fort William to ports on Geir-
gian bay be Increased from 111 to 2
cents bushel, otherwise they will not
carry another bushel. Only two loads
Of new grain have left the elevators
for Canadian ports
A strike of this nature would prove
disastrous, should no agreement be
reached till all the elevators have been
filled, as it would prove the stagna-
ton of the biggest industry in the Ca
madam northwest.
Interviewed in reference to the YES
sci owners demand, w b. Lanigar,
general freight agent Of the Canadian
Pacific railway, said he knew nothing
more than that the Canadian lake car
riers recently decided to load on grain
until the rate to Georgian bay had
been increased to 2 cents. The Cana
dian Pacific steamers, he said, will car
ry no wheat for less than 2 cents, or
until the carriers and exporters have
come to an agreement.
It lis understood that those vessels
which were chartered by shippers be-
fore the tariff was raised Will be COM
PEELED to carry several loads east at
the rate in force at THAT time. One of
these boats, the Matthews, is loading
wheat now.
AS terminal elevators are rapidly
filling and as the international coast
ing laws do not permit Of an American
craft carrying cargo from one Cana
dian port to another. 1t is believed To-
ca1ly that the carriers must ultimately
win.

Carnival Company Disarms Opponents

zens petitioned the court for an In
junction enjoining the show from
using the streets for the carnival Tri.
al was set for hearing before Judge
Clements and up till the evening pre-
vious to the day of the hearing 1t
looked as though there would be long
battle of legal complications. The Pc
titioners. however. have withdrawn
their prayer and the street fair OPEN
ed this morning unhindered. Back of
the withdrawal of the injunction pro-
ceedings is little pathos that is in
teresting. Waldo Cline, a Sigourney
young man, has been travelling for sew
eral months with this carnival COM
pany and while at Waverly he took
sick from appendicitis and after a
weeks illness died. The carnival COM
pany paid all his hospital expenses,
his mothers and sisters expenses
while they We're at his bedside and
the expense of shipping the body home
for burial. When these facts We're
known here all opposition to the show
melted away and the injunction was
promptly withdrawn.
