1shed message, sent just before the
batteries are supposed to have be-
come exhausted, came here by wire
less from the Nantucket lightship
early in the day asking for "help from
anywhere" The message was timed

Here the message broke Off. If

left here for the lightship at 6 a. m.
A report from other sources says
the vessel is leaking badly and that
her fires have been extinguished. AS
the lightships design includes water

her in just such stress as she is now
in the lighthouse officials declare that
there will be little difficulty on the
part of her crew in keeping her afloat
until aid can reach her. The light.
ship has crew of about dozen men.
Repeated calls by the wireless oper-

same time the station endeavored to
pick up ocean steamers in order to
notify them of the condition of the
lightship and to request them to aid
the vessel if possible. BY this means
communication was established with
the North Star steamer Mainland.
The North Star answered she was too
far out to be of immediate assistance
to the lightship, but that she would
try to get into communication with
the disabled vessel.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 10, via Eydt,
kuhnen, East Prussia, Dec. 12-There
Is every indication this morning that
the governments challenge will be &C.
cepted and that within forty-eight
hours general strike throughout Rus

has been raised by the arrest of NJ.
Krustaloff, president of the executive
committee of the Workmen's council,
which was followed during the night
by the imprisonment of the members
OF the workmen's council and a num-
ber of socialistic leaders.
THE reaction has come," were the
words on every lip and in the liberal
extremist camp there was only one
opinion, namely, that it must be re-
sisted to the bitter end At all tho
meetings last night, some Of which
lasted until morning, the opinion was
unanimous that the government had
forced the hands of tha proletariaf
and that the. supreme weapon, a gen
eral strike. must be invoked.
Railroad Employ yes Declare Strike.
The employees of the Riga-Orel rail-
road have declared strike on ac-
count of the declaration of martial
law in Livonia and have sent an ap.
peal to the other roads to join. Last
night the railroad men of the Baltic
lines decided to follow the example of
the Rga- Orel men.
The Mutation in Livonia is frightful.
Absolute aIiarchy prevails.
. A messenger who arrived here this
morning declared that the streets OF
Riga were flowing with blood. After
meeting the railroad men of Riga
were moved down by the fire of ma
chine guns and artillery
sre Eheraiiroatf men Of st: Petersburg,
at a meeting, resolved that inasmuch
''as the reaction is gaining force and
the government is seeking to retract
what was won by the first Pan-Rus-
sian strike,' the railroad men stand
ready to obey the signal for general
strike, but advise their fellow work
ers to await the word from the central
committee at Moscow, as a failure
must not be risked.

FORCED LOAN ORDERED.

Desperate Expediency to Save Russia
From Bankruptcy.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 10, via Eydt-
kuhnen, Dec. 1.-THE government
seems to have succeeded in tiding the
treasury over the present crisis, al
though the method by which this was
accomplished shows to what straits
the government mas been reduced.
The emperor has approved ukase
authorizing the State bank to discount
$5O,00O,O00 in exchequer bills, which
is permitted by the regulations of the
bank, but it savors of the character
of forced loan. This method has
not been resorted to since the days of
the Russo-Turkish war.

Affairs of Home Life Company Taken
Up by Committee,

New York, Dec. 12.-An investiga-
tion of the affairs of the Home Life
Insurance company of New York was
taken up by the legislative insurance
investigating committee during the
day. The first witness called was
George lG. Ide, president of that COM
pany. Mr.. Ide said personally he.
carried no life insurance, but he
thought some of the officials of his
company may have received commits
sions on their own policies. He was
asked by Charles E. Hughes, counsel
for the committee, to furnish list of
Them. Mr. Ide said his company is
paying pension Of $1,000 year to a
clerk who was employed since the
foundation of the company and is now
unable to work.
Mr.. Ide described the financial op-
Grafton of his company and said it
makes investments in stocks and
bonds through one firm of brokers
and pays them the regular commits
sion of one-eighth of 1 per cent. The
surplus of his company has been held
at about $1,125,00O for twenty years,
because he regards that as sufficient
and he felt that policyholders are en-
titled to the accumulations on their
policies

Salary of Employees.


Washington, Dec. 12-When the
senate convened a message was re-
ceived from the house transmitting
the emergency bill appropriating $11,-
100000 to aid in the construction of
the Panama canal. It was withheld
by the vice president until the con-
clusion of the routine morning busi-
ness.
When the canal bill was called up
for reference a general discussion of
canal matters was precipitated. Mr..
Tillman characterized the high sal
aries paid canal employees as stealing
and graft.'
Messrs. Hemenway, Hopkins, Nc
Cumber and Teller said there should
be legislation fixing salaries for the
canal employees. Mr.. Teller said that
by legislation congress had authorized
the president to appoint the officers
and fix the salaries and it was the
duty Of congress to nay them. -
