GREAT STRIKE IN RUSSIA.
10000 Iron Workers to Quit - Many
 Now Out.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 16.--The strike of the iron workers at the Putiloff iron
 works is the result of the refusal of the manager to reinstate four workmen who were dismissed for belonging to a
 union. The works are idle in all de- partments. The workmen have further resolved that unless their demands are conceded the men in three other works
 will join in sympathetic strike. Up to the present all is quiet. X
 The socialists are trying to seize the opportunity for the organization of sym pathetic strikes in other industries of St. Petersburg, with the object of ere ating an nti-governInent denonstra- tion. The union originally was organ ized by M. Soubaloff, under the direc- tion of the late Minister of the Interior Fon Plehve, in order to combat the SO cialistic demands; but the latter are now in control of the union and are using the governments instrument for
 their own purposes. A priest is the os- tensible leader of the union, which Is composed of six circles and has men,- bership of 5000. ..sl1s .5,,.. . The Putiloff iron works are executing

GERMASY,s GREAT COAL STRIKE
Great Fear Tint It VIII Interfere With Country's Prosperity.

Berlin, Jan. 17.-4:30 a. m.-The strike of coal miners which broke out yester- day is the most formidable affair of the kind that Germany ever has had. There had been no serious trouble in the coal industries since the strike of 1889, but this strike far eclipses the one alluded to. all labor organizations taking part, whereas in 1889 only the socialist un- ions were concerned. The present move ment has been largely engineered by the so-called Christian unions, which otherwise oppose the socialist element.
 Commercial and financial classes are greatly concerned lest the strike should arrest Germany's recuperation from the effects of the crisis or 1901, since it is certain that enforced idleness will fol low in many other industries unless the strike is speedily settled. The govern ment also is deeply concerned, and the ministry is keeping the wires busy in communicating with the military and police authorities in the mining country. Chancellor Von Buelow had long con- sultation on Monday in the diet with a government commissioner, who had just returned from Dortmund.

 Ions of Water Daily in City.
 New York. Jan 16.-The construc- tion of a deep aqueduct tunnel from the Catskill mountains to New York city, a distance of ninety-seyen miles, to de- liver SO0,O0O,O0O gallons of water daily in New York city, was recommended to Mayor Mcclellan to-day, by a special water commission. It was estimated it would cost s5OOOO0 a mile to dig the tunnel and that the total, cost of pro- posed additions to the city's water SUD- ply would amount to $91, 900, ,0O0. The report contemplates a second aqueduct of equal capacity, and prob. ably of greater length to be constructed subsequently to deliver an equal amount from the Catskills region at an elevation of 300 feet above the sea level at the city limit. It is further proposed that ultimately 2 third acueduct of about the same length as the second shall be constructed for the purpose of drawing also 3Oo0OO0OO gallons per day from the lower waters of both catskill and Esoous creeks. The total cost of the three aqueducts, reservoirs and other ,anpurtenances. it is estimated, will be about $275OOoOOO and they will secure 900,000,0O0 gallons additional supply to New York city.

 Said to Have Promised to Return. New York, Jan. 16.-Following the surrender to District Attorney Jerome to-day of the gambling outfit belonging to Frank Farrell, Dave" Johnson and Frank MacDougall, it was declared by counsel for the gamblers that Jerome has closed every gambling house in New York city, and that they will re- main closed. The instrument which made so effective action possible was disclosed by Daniel O'Reilly, represent ing the gamblers. to be the Bowling law, enacted at the request of Jerome when he was trying to induce Jesse LeWisohn to testify against Richard Canfield. That law automatically re- leases from punishment any gambler who gives evidence against himself to the district attorney, but compels him to give such evidence. Mir. O'Reilly said
 There will be no gambling houses in this city. The Bowling act has given the district attorney a weapon which he has used to close effectively every place in the city.
 That they will not reopen is shown by the surrender of all gambling para- phernalia. They cannot afford to buy more every time the district attorney takes a notion to make d raid.
 Another important act which would indicate that there will be no more ] gambling is that if the men who have. surrendered their gambling apparatus should begin gambling again the dis trict attorney could bring charges, not only against them, but against their, employees and their patrons. He says' he will do this. Z
 Though Frank Farrell did not persons 1 ally respond to-day to subpoena is- sued for him, it was stated that he has promised to return to New York and ! give evidence against himself

 stairs to get her brothers revolver. As she did not appear in the room for several minutes Baker is alleged to
 have asked: Where is your sister, MT. Phelps replying that he didn't know, but that he would go and look
 for her. Baker would not have this, and after talking for a moment with his prisoner George Tyler and David
 King, citiens. entered the room in an attempt to take the man, but, they, too,
 were backed against the wall under the point of his revolver. Word was finally
 sent to the police. and Chief Wheeler and several men started for the Phelps home. The chief stationed men at the

 as Baker saw him he pointed his revol yer at him, the chief covering Baker
 at the same time. ''Is it peace or war;
 Baker demanded. Peace, by all

 seemed to come to his senses. On being
