DEMANDS MARTIAL LAW
Witte Would Bring About Climax in
Capital.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
New York, Nov. 1.-THE Herald
publishes the following cable from st.
Petersburg:
The situation here has assumed
highly dangerous phase. Count Witte,
feeling himself deserted, has recon-
mended to the emperor in order to pre-
vent disastrous disorders, to declare
martial law at once, thus bringing about
a climax.
In the present temper of the people
such provocation will be sure to raise
storm, the end of which no one can
foresee. The powerful Union Of
Unions inevitably would declare a
strike on such scale that would mean
anarchy thruout the land. It is sigS
nifcant that two regiments Of trusted
dragons have been drafted into st.
Petersburg. Further, the minister of
war refuses to allow the mutineer sail
ors to be defended by advocates, while
the new minister Of commerce adds fur
ther provocation by saying that the
strikers ought to be proceeded against
| as criminals.

water from his lungs. This is started
by first holding the subject bystthe

part Of the water will run out. Then
respiration is forced. Usually two men

works his diaphragm. Usually this ex

bee1 laid. - z=3.
It is commended that many wires
have been strung across streets and al
leys without the sanction Of the city
council. Some companies have become
SO bold that instead of "sneaking' a
wire across now and then they string
them whenever they please and with
out fear of trouble. It is to look after
such matters that an electric wire in
spector is wanted. He will be at
ment, and will be charged with the
enforcement of the underground wire
ordinance. This work has in the past
been, attended to by. the electrical in
Fspector in the building inspection de;

his duty, as he is required to inspect
as to the safety of electric wiring in
buildings and the installation Of cleo

much new work in the past few. years
that he has been unable to give any
attention to pole lines ind the result
has been that most Of the companies
