Cost of Sc. 75O, 900 Each. Adonted

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE Federal Council to-day
adopted the navy increase BILL which will be
laid before the Reichstag at its forthcoming
session. The bill provides for the increase of
the present building plan by six large cruisers.

pedo divisions from sixteen to twenty-four. The
cost of each cruiser will be S675OOO0 The
entire additional cost up to the year 1916 will
be SAL 100000.

In the abstract it provides for an incresae in the
size and armament of the vessels hitherto voted
under the old fleet law, making the cost of the
battleships 100000 instead of sc. .25OOOO.
The report accompanying the bills says that
the regular naval budget rises from $5S,250.O00

cause an Increase of 126 officers and 5643 non

appeal to the workingmen says:
The council of workmen's delegates ex-
presses establishment at the Emperors favorite

Petersburg his brethren. The proletariat is not
related to him in any way
Count Witte appeals to us TO be compassion

reply invites the workmen TO count the widows
and orphans who have been added to the ranks
of the workmen since the day Count Witte as
Count Witte reveals the benevolent intentions
of the Emperor toward the working classes. The
council reminds the proletariet of bloody Sun
day
time, and promises to do all that is possible for
the workmen. The council knows Count Witte
has already found time to give Poland into the
hands of the military executioners. The council
does not doubt Count Witte will do all that is
possible to strangle the revolutionary prole-
tariat.
Count witte calls himself a man who is
benevolent toward us and wishes our good. The
council declares the working classes have no
need of the benevolence of q court favorite, but
demand popular government on the basis of
universal, direct and secret suffrage.

STRIKERS APPEAL FOR AID
81. Petersburg Workmen Ask Co
operation of Governments Men.

St Petersburg Nov. 1.-THE workmen's or
ganization to-day addressed the following ap-
peal TO the soldiers and sailors:
Comrades and Brothers: For a long time we
have misunderstood each other. Your officers
taught you TO regard US as enemies of the
fatherland, ana as criminals ~ WloIIl you should %
shoot beat with your whips and butcher with
your bayonets.
Our struggle for the peoples freedom and the
peoples wellbeing has been depicted TO you as a
revolution against the fatherland which you are
obliged to suppress. Many of you, believing
this, have shot your own brothers, filling the
streets of towns with blood.
The case is altered. The eyes of many of
the soldiers and sailors have been opened. They
understand that all of US are brothers. and that
are sons of the same nations whose common
enemies are your commanders and those in
power They understand that the liberty of the
people is their own liberty and the good of the
people their good.
The men of the Black Sea fleet at Cronstadt
stood against their commanders and signified
that they wanted TO lead the lives of men, that
they wanted liberty. and they associated them
selves with the cause of the people. A hun
dred sailors at CroEstadt have been handed over
TO a court martial and to-day or tomorrow may
be executed Knowing this We workmen of St
Petersburg struck demanding the release of our
soldier and sailor brothers, and the abolition of
court martial and the death penalty.
Is ii possible that you, soldiers and sailors.
viii not arise and help your brothers at Cron-
stadt? Is IL possible that you will remain hand
IN hand with the murderers of your brothers at
CronsIadt?
We workmen say: The cause of the soldier
and the sailor is our cause and have
gone out on strike. You must say everywhere,
me cause OF the WorkInen is our cause and the
struggle Of the workmen our struggle" and you
must associate yourselves with the struggling
people You must strike and refuse to perform
The duties imposed you. Do not listen to the
word Of command calling upon you TO put down
