TREPoFF MAKES APPEAL.


impossible. He Says, BY q Stroke 70
Change Government.
ST. Petersburg, Nov. 2.-12:15 p. ND
The prospects of the country quieting
down for the present at least are much
brighter today. While the revolution
airy spirit is abroad. the masses of the
reds seem to realize that they have
reached the end of their tether. and
they are afraid to push matters to the
point of failure. The students. Social
Democrats and strike leaders here in
st. Petersburg, finding that they will
soon be in the minority have made a
virtue of necessity and have declared
the strike off, beginning tomorrow. The
leaders of the railroad men haye not
yet formally surrendered. but TRAINS are
already running on the Moscow and
other lines and the backbone of the
strike seems to be broken.
General Trepoff has issued another
manifesto informing the people that all
the reforms granted by the manifesto
cannot be realized Immediately. as. 1t
will require time to formulate laws and
place them into effect. In the mean
time the people must be quiet and CO.
operate with the authorities in MAIN
tanning order, otherwise the RESPONSE
biIity for harsh measures win not fall
on the Government.
General Trepoff's manifesto was pub
lisled this afternoon in the Officiaf Mes
senger in the form OF an appeal for the
support of the people in inaugurating
the new regime. 1t says:
The Government counts on the SYM
pathies of the majority OF the popula-
tion who desire to see calm restored
In the country. In order to inaugurate
successfully the new order OF things
the Government must labor with un-
swerving firmness and energy but 1t is
necessary that the population be i'm
bued with the idea that 1t Is given to
no one to alter by a single stroke the
whole normal life of the Russian state
and to replace 1t by a new order of
things. which demands an enormous
amount of legislation and vsho.c se-
ries Of administration measures.
Until tn lat is accomplished the exist
ing laws must remain in force, but tho
Government will do all within passibil-
ity to see that these laws are applied
by the authorities in the spirit of the
manifesto of October 80.
THE succes of the acts of the Gov
eminent depends essentially on the re-
establishment of order and tranquility
II the majority of people consider 1T
their duty to come to the aid of the
Government a general Improvement in
the State of things win follow: IL not
II will not be on the Government that
responsibility OF failure will fall"

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT
One Man Killed and Many Injured,
Some Fatally, by a Stampede at
Artillery Practice.

Junction City, Kas., Oct. 14.-Private
Albert Laste, of the Twenty-ninth bat
terry of field artillery, was killed dur
ing target practice near Fort Riley.
Frivates John Connolly and G. j. Simp-
son, of the same battery, are thought to
be fatally injured, and Privates Leary,
Norman, Lancaster and Cline, of the
same organization, are in the hospital
with broken limbs and internal in-
iuries. A large number Of other artil-
lerymen were badly hurt.
The Twenty-ninth battery is n OF
the six making up the first provisional
regiment of field artillery at target
practice. The battery's guns had been
placed, and its eight limbers, loaded
with ammunition, each with six horses
attached, were at the rear, with the
drivers dismounted. When the battery
was ready for firing a large red flag
was run up On a staff as a signal to the
range party at the targets to get out
out of range of the guns.
The wind blew the flag out in the
faces of the horses and they stampeded
at once. Some drivers succeeded in
getting into their saddles, others were
dragged, but the most of the drivers
were left behind. The horses dashed
over a small cliff and went down in a
frightful mass with their riders.

SIR HENRY IRVING NO MORE


London, Oct. 14.-The English
speaking world has suffered an ire
parable loss by the sudden death Of Sir
Henry Irving. who was universally re-
garded as the most representative
English actor of contemporary times.
Sir Henry died literally in harness.
He was giving q series a farewell per-
formances In the English provinces, and
this week was playing an engagement
at Bradford, appearing in several ia
vorite roles. Thursday he presented
King Rene's Daughter" and THE
Bells" and seemed to be in excellent
health, taking the exhausting part Of
Matthias in the latter play with all the
vigor of youth. Friday night, before
an enthusiastic audience, he portrayed
of his most Enthusiastically intel
lectual parts, the title role in his own
stage adaptation of Lord Tennyson's
Beckett" with marked success.
After the performance Sir Henry re-
turned to the hotel, reaching his rooms
at 1870 o'clock, when it was observed
that he was in great pain. Physicians
were Immediately summoned, but be-
fore they could arrive Sir Henry was
seized with an attack Of syncope and
expired, without regaining conscious
ness.

PHILIPPINE FRlAR LANDS
A Settlement Finally Arranged By
the Philippine Government.
II Has Been j. Approved by Secretary
Taft and Payment Will be Made
About October 20.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Secretary Taft
has approved a settlement arranged by
the Philippine government which COM
pletes the purchase of the Dominican
friar lands in the Philippine islands.
These lands include nearly half OF
those purchased from the frairs and
amount to about zoo, 900 acres. After
the contracts were signed 1t was found
that a mistake had occurred by reason
of a difference in the Spanish and Eng
lish versions of the surveys. The Span
ish version made the price 5000, 900
more than the English version. 1T also
was found that the titles to eight diff
ferent tracts were defective. While
Secretary Taft was in the islands he
effected a compromise, by which the
titles were to be made complete and the
purchase money paid according to the
English version, while the $500, 900 in
controversy was to be submitted to ar
bitration. Since his return the secre-
tary has received a cable from Gov.
Wright saying that the Dominican
agents have offered to compromise by
accepting $4,000.
Secretary Taft cabled Gov. Wright,
approving the compromise. The total
amount to be paid to the Dominicans is
5 3,050, 900. The money will be paid in
New York about October 20.
