MOSCOW GUT Off
BY A BIG STRIKE
Commercial Heart of Russia
Is Shut Off From the
Empire.
TRUNK LINES ARE TIED UP
Traffic Of Seven Out of Nine Roads
Observation-Disclosures Battalions Will
Supply Places of Strikers ir Oper-
ating the Trains.

Moscow, Oct. 23.-Trafic on seven
OF the nine main trunk arteries OF
commerce radiating from Moscow
was completely paralyzed yesterday
by the railroad strike, and the com
mercial heart of Russia has been shut
off from all communication with the
rest of the empire except with the
narrow section to the northwestward
including st. Petersburg and the Bal
tic provinces. Though the govern.
ment has ordered the railroad battal.
ions of the army to proceed to Mos.
COW and take the places of the strik.
ers for the purpose of restoring traffic
the revolutionists by sudden and
unexpected blow have shown their
ability to lay their hands on the
the throat of the nations commercial
life.
The employees of four railroads
struck yesterday and only the lines
running over the Nicholai road to st.
Petersburg and over the Windau and
and Rybisk road to Riga and other
Baltic ports are open. Traffic is at
standstill on the Kasan line and on
the line to Yarslov and Archangel.
The strikers yesterday forced the
employers of the general forces and
financial departments of three lines,
the Windau & Rybinsk, the Moscow
& Brest Litovsk, and the Kieff &c
Voronezh, to quit work. The city is
already feeling the effects of a milk
and meat famine and few days
continuance Of the strike will cause
serious embarrassment and even suf-
fering to the population. The renew
al of the factory strikes is not i'm
probable.
An important development yester-
day was the strike on the Brest Lit
ovsk road, which runs to Smolensk,
Minsk, and Warsaw, and, carries in
ternational traffic from Moscow to
Germany, Austria and other parts of
Europe. Though the workers in the
shops of this road struck on Satur-
day, the trains continued to run until
3 clock yesterday afternoon, whGn
the engineers and firemen drew the
fires and deserted the engines. Com
munication with points abroad, how
ever, is still open by way Of st. Pet
ersburg and Pskoff.
During the morning a crowd OF
strikers proceeded to the freight sta
ton of the Kursk road and let of the
steam of eight engines, drove away
the guards, and forced the employees
to cease work. Traffic over the road
thereupon stopped. Later the strik-
ers were attacked by crowd COM
posed Of the rougher elements Of tho
popu.stion, but or'ler was finally re.
stored by Cossocks. Otherwise no
special disorders have been reported.
The strike coming at this time Is
apt to seriously cripple the work OF
relief in the famine striken provin.
ces and also to impede the movement
of this years grain crop, as the rail-
roads even under normal conditions
are not able to keep the grain crop
moving promptly.
Official reports show hat 1S9,S24
loaded cars were awaiting removal
on Oct 20, in various sections, and
that the grain and coal handling dis
tricts are daily increasing their nc
cumulations at the railroad stations.

Although it is early to talk OF furs,
still the styles are distinctly outlined
by this time. Furs will be worn in the
shape of coats, as usual. But the most
sensational tidings of the season will
be found in the fur trimmings These
are varied and beautiful, and fancy
has run quite riot in the planning OF
the fur modes.
One of the prettiest OF fur trim
mings is the fur rosette, which will be
worn a great deal this year This is
made by setting a handsome jeweled
button In the middle of piece of fine
velvet. Around the button there Is
sewed a border Of fur which is car
ried round and round until It makes a
big, handsome fur rosette. This ro-
settle is used to fasten the belt or to
make trimming upon the bust or the
stock. There are many ways in which
1t can be employed in different sizes.

CABINET MEMBERS
HAVE FULL POWER
To Discharge Civil Service
Employees Under
Them.
WHEN GUILTY OF MISCONDUCT
Head Of Department Must Be Sure of
the Case When He Has Personal
knowledge His Power 10 Absolute
Amendment Is Sweeping.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-An amend
ment to the civil service rules, sweep.
ing and comprehensive in Its charac-
ter was authorized yesterday by the
president. Hereafter a cabinet offic-
er will have the power to remove sum-
marily and without hearing any civil
service employee in his department,
who, to the personal knowledge Of
the head of the department, has been
guilty Of misconduct or who is inef.
ficient in the performance Of his
duties.
BY the terms of the amendment the
cabinet officer must have personal
knowledge of the misconduct or ine-
fficiency of the employee whom he
proposes to discharge. With this per-
sonal knowledge the power Of the
head Of the department is absolute.
The amendment authorized yester-
day is one Of the most important and
far reaching made to the civil ser.
vice rules In many years. 1t confers
upon cabinet officers practically un-
limited power as to the personnel of
their departments. The amendment
is made to order IL, section 2, which
provides that the appointing officers
in the executive civil service shall re.
port in detail to the civil service COM
mission all changes In their depart
ments as soon as made and the rea-
sons for making them.
Heretofore, In every case of the re-
moval Of civil service employee,
charges had to be filed against the
persons whom it was proposed to re-
move and the employe was given
time in which to meet the charges
with such defense as he might have
to make. Under the authorized
amendment such a proceeding will
not be necessary. A head of de-
partment may discharge an employe
for misconduct or inefficiency with
the simple statement to the civil SER
vice commission that the misconduct
or inefficieney is subject of his per
sonal observation. The discharged
employe will have no recourse.
1t is said that the amendment was
made at the instance OF members Of
the cabinet, who hold that under the
present construction of the civil SER
vice rules they often are unable to
deal properly with cases of miscon-
duct and inefficiency of which they
are personally cognizant. Assurance
is given that the amendment was not
made to apply to any particular case
now pending. Its purpose, as stated,
is to improve discipline Of the depart
mental forces.
The amendment was discussed by
the cabinet at its meeting yesterday
and approved unanimously.

Washable Flannels.

All the new fiannels are SO woven
that they may be washed without
fear of undue shrinkage, and the col
orings, being woven In pattern rather
than printed, are guaranteed to be Of
absolutely fast character. A clever
use of one of the new fiannels is sug
gested In the illustration. A white
ground is striped with plaid pat
tern, the plaid showing tones of rose
and geranium red.
A series of little tucks covering
both appears in the front and the
back Is similarly disposed Of. Large
pearl buttons make the fastening
down the front box plat. and two

Top, narrowing to fairly close fit at
Che elbow, and with the Follower cuff

Dlrectolre Effect.

The very latest sartorial scheme for
women is a set consisting OF hat. neck.
piece, muff and cane to match. Such
a set was displayed In n prominent
shop window the other day and It Is
safe to bet that not one woman passed
by without seeing II. The dictators
of fashion have been working up to
the cane for some, time with their
other dlrectoire effects. II has been
shown In the smart fashion plates
and even with the lay figures, but
not actually placed on sale heretofore.
The set shown as starter was OF
mink. and the cane, about four feet
long. was of polished brown wood.
with a gold handle beneath. TO which
was tied brown velvet bow. All
feminine eyes are now open watching
for the first woman to carry It.

BRITISH OFFICERS
SEIZED BY BRIGANDS

Tangier, Morocco, Oct. 1S.-Two
British marine officers have been cap
tured and carried off by the Angera
tribe while returning to Ceuta from
the British repair ship Assistance, re-
Gently wrecked in Tetuan bay.
The officers captured are Captain
John Z. Crowther and Lieutenant Ed
ward A. s. Hatton, of the royal ma
zines. They had an escort of twenty
one Riff tribesmen and were attacked
by half dozen Angeras under
brother of Valiente, the brigand chief
who was recently arrested at Tangier.
The Riffs fed and the two officers
were oyerpowered. The same band
lately assassinated the governor of
Ceuta and his son..
The minister OF foreign affairs, Mo-
manned l.. Torres, has despatched
couriers to ascertain the whereabouts
of the captured officers and open me-
gotiations with their captors, whose
object supposedly is to secure ran
som and the release of Valiente, who
is now ins risoned at Fee.

coat or wrap of some sort is a neces-
sity as well as a luxury, the woman

ACCOUNT FOR MONEY.
Police Think. cunliffe Spoke Truth
When He Said He Burned Il.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Oct 22-The
Bridgeport, rolice believe that they
have accounted satisfactorily for all
of TIE 100000 taken by Edward G.
Cunlif,e from the Adams Express
company in Pittsburg, and brought
by him to this city. In the opinion
of Detective Captain Arnold, based
on his Investigations yesterday, Gun
life told the truth after his arrest,
when he declared that he burned
part of the money stolen. fearing that
Its possession would lead to discovery.
Mrs. Henry Clark, chambermaid at
the Arlington hotel where Cunliffe
had room while here. told Captain
Arnold last night that on Oct. IL,
the day after Cunliffe went to the
hotel, she found some black stains
like those Of wet charred paper on
the carpet In his room and, also found
similar stains on the bath room floor,
while the bowl In the bath room was
clogged with burned paper. This,
~ detectives believe. was the money
Cunliffe says he burned.

that 1t must not be wiped dry. 1t

piled together In the china closet.
This protects the gilt from scratches.
