WHITE HOLDS THE HELM.
Russian Ship Of State is Beginning
To Riuht Itself.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 5.-Count
White is getting his hands on the
helm and the Russian ship of state
is beginning to right itself. Grad
ually the disorder that followed the
PRONUNCIATION of the constitution CIV
ing the people liberty is being put
down. The premier has met the inn
mense difficulties confronting him
and the pressure Of the demands of
the different classes of society with
the energy and sincerity which are
more and more giving him the sup
port of moderate liberals, who have
been frightened by the carnival Of
disorders into which the country has
been plunged and the inordinate de-
mands of the proletariat under the
leadership of the reds" and social
democrats.
Freedom Of the press and general
amnesty except for crime have fol
lowed each other, but Count White
has steadily refused to yield to the
demand for the organization of
national guard on the ground that It
would be equivalent to arming the
social democrats to fight and destroy
the whole government between mid
night and morning.
Count White yesterday solved the
railroad strike at conference with
the strike leaders at which he did not
hesitate to make a practical surren-
der of the governments reasonable
demands

st. Petersburg, Nov. 4.-The ma
tional holiday yesterday in celebra-
ton of the anniversary of the emper-
ors accession to the throne, was
marked by the formal raising of the
general strike in st. Petersburg.
While the railroad strike has not yet
been declared off, many of the rail-
road men are returning to work and
trains are being gotten through. The
populace is calmer.
Deplorable rioting in the provinces
is still in progress, especially in the
south The most horrible stories of
massacre and pillage by mobs and at.
lacks upon Jews continue to pour in. ,
The news from Odessa is meager, but
enough has been received to show
that the city for time was practical
ly in the hands of the mob. The num-
bers killed or wounded are not defin-
itely established, but the London re-
port that 5000 were killed or wounded
is undoubtedly very great exagger-
alton. The situation at Kieff is also
grave.

who, momentarily overthrow, are
again beginning to talk of the neces'
sity for the sternest measures of re-
preston to prevent the whole coun-
try from being drawn in to the vortex
Of revolution.
There is no truth in the rumor cir
culated in certain quarters that the
empress has fed abroad. According
to representations the reactionaries
have a powerful ally in the empress
who desires the autocratic power OF
the Romanoffs to be handed down
unimpaired to her son.
The st. Petersburg municipality has
sent the following to the emperor:
"The city council greets with de-
light the welcome freedom granted
to the nation, and firmly believes In
great and bright future for our be-
loved country. Long live the emper-
or Of the free Russian nation"
The imperial manifesto was read
yesterday at a thanksgiving service
of the Mohammedans of st. Peters
burg.

age are measured, not so much by
length of days as by the integrity OF
