Sister Mary, one Of the teachers, and
Aer rs pupils, who were on the third
floor, could not get down the stairs on
account of the dense smoke. She led
the pupils to the windows, beneath which
the firemen stretched nets. Under the
sisters direction the girls climbed OFT

New York (SpeciaD Mary G. Nc
Carthy, pretty young woman, OF 200
West Sixty-fourth street, ended her life
in spectacular manner by Jumping to
the tracks of the elevated structure at
Columbus Avenue and Sixty-sixth Street
and then kneeling in an attitude of

there is a rush of shoppers and matinee
goers and the soutll-bound platform was
crowded with women and children They
were waiting for the Sixth Avenue train,
that was approaching the station.
The girls appearance attracted some
attention, as after leaving the ticket
choppers box she made several short
spurts toward the edge of tho platform
In this eccentric manner she made her
way towards the south end OF the plat
form, where there were few people.
Then she stopped at the edge of the plat

POLISH PEASANTS ARE RISING.
Premier Wiite Believed to Be Convinced That
Constitution Containing the Charter
Of Russian Liberties to Which the Gar
VIII Swear ALE iince Is tie cnIy Way Out
of the Present Crisis.

Moscow by Gable BY scanty ma
jority of 20 the Zemstvo Congress ac-
cepted the first sections of the program
drafted by the executive committee de-
claring the solidarity OF the congress
with the principles of the imperial mani
festo of October 80 and assuring the
government of the support of the great
majority of zemstvos and municipalities
in carrying into effect the liberties prom
ised by the manifesto. but laying down
as the sole means OF guaranteeing the ai-
thority of the Douma and restoring or
der in the country the election of repre-
sentatives by general. direct, equal and
secret ballot and the formal grant to the
Donna of the power to elaborate con-
stitution for the empire.
The friends of Count Witte on the
floor made a stout fight against the pro-
vision for direct ballot, the one con-
cession which the Premier considers it
impossible to grant, but this provision
was carried over their heads by a two
thirds majority
The resolution in its final form is
substantially the same as cabled Thurs
day. The committee to which, it was
referred for further consideration made
numerous alterations in the pfraseology,
but little change in the substance, except
the insertion of demand for the imme-
diate abolition of martial law in Poland
as among the measures deemed to be I'M
perative before the convocation OF the
dounna
The congress also inserted. at the sug-
gestion of the committee, provision
subjecting all ministers, except court min
listers, to the responsibility of the cabi-
net, M. Mullikoff explaining that with
the ministers of war, navy and foreign
affairs, except from such responsibility
not only could war or peace be decided
without consulting the premier, but the
minister of war could declare martial
law in any section of the country without
consulting his colleagues.
The committee rejected an amendment
proposed by Professor Kovalevsky for
the creation of committee of zemst-
voists to act in an advisory capacity with
Count Witte until the meeting OF the
Donna.
In the debate preceding the adoption
of the resolution Prince Eugene Trou-
betskoy proposed to substitute the words
precious acquisition of the people" for
the phase calling the manifesto pre-
cious conquest" but it was rejected
Prince Troubetskoy, Count Heyden
and M. Karauloff made a final but vain
effort to eliminate the section giving con-
stituents functions to the first douma. Nj.
Karauloff, former revolutionary who
spent IS years in prison or in exile, and
who in the congress represents Yene-
seisk, Siberia, where he has been living
in banishmnt, opposed universal suf-
frage and warned the congress that in
sistence on constituent assembly would
precipitate a struggle with the forces OF
anarchy and plunge the country into
sea of blood

REVOLT IN THE ARMY.

St. Petersburg (By Cable) The sue
cessful mutiny of the sailors at Sebasto-

of an entire regiment of troops has
created the greatest alarm in govern

disguise the seriousness of this latest
crisis.
The army is the last prop of the gov
eminent Mutiny is contagious, and the
epidemic of revolt which has attacked
in turn practically all the units of the
navy from Vladivostok to Cronstadt, it
is now feared, is destined similarly to
spread through the army
Ugly reports have been repeatedly cir
culated of sedition among the soldiers
in Manchuria, and it was specifically re-
ported week ago that General Line
witch had 10 put down a mutiny with
considerable bloodshed, and that subse-
quently he executed AZ officers. No con-
hrmation of this report was obtainable,
but whether it be true or not, the morale
of the troops on garrison duty in Rus
STA has certainly everywhere been shaken
by the revolutionary propaganda, and the
fidelity of individual units, even of the
guard regiments, is questioned.
