scheduled TO come before the meeting

The widespread discussion which fol-

testing against the ACCEPTANCE OF the
gift because OF objections to the alleged
business methods OF the Standard on
company created great interest in to-

that already sil5oo of the gift was in
the treasury and the question TO be
decided at today's peetlng was there
fore whether this amount should be
returned or whether It should be re-

ST. Petersburg March 2s.--The action

In urging the necessity Tor some meas

taking a distinct stand against a con-

which they claim are endangered by
the growing tide Of lawlessness. The
mobiles urge that the time has come for
cooperation with the government for
mutual protection pointing out that the
strikes In the cities by sending thou
sands Of workmen flled with wild revo-

besides Introducing political Ideas
among the peasants, only increases the

pillage, burn and murder In the Chernl-

are powerless. The whole peasant pop

RESERVOIR DAM THREATENED

New York, March 2S,-No break has
yet occurred in the s5,OOO,OOO dam form
Ing the New Croton reservoir, which
was menaced yesterday by a food Of
water from the great Croton water
shed. Workmen are reinforcing the
structure at all points Of danger and a
patrol has been established to give inn
mediate warning should a break
threaten. The village Of Croton Land.
Ing, with a population Of 1,1OO is one
mile below
When engineers In charge of the res
sryolr learned Of the food, they hur-
RED to the dam and threw open the
gates but the outflow to the Croton rlv-
er and thence to the Hudson was In
sufficient TO carry OF the rapidly rising
waters entering from an area OF 365
square miles, and steps were at once
taken to avert break.
II was expected that the dam would
be completed late this summer. Ex-
perts bad figured that Il would take
about two and a half years for the res
Ty0lr 10 MI, so, less than a month ago
temporary gates were Installed and
closed, The reservoir was denuded OF
houses. trees and brush were burned
over and the basin was allowed TO be-
Sin filling.
The great snowfall Of the past win
Ter and recent rains brought about
conditions on which the engineers had
not reckoned. The reservoir began
hllng with amazing rapidly. The dam
y nearly a quarter of mile In length
with the unexpected flood, II filled rap
IDLY and reached the 1907 foot mark be-
lore the danger was appreciated. The
maximum which the dam was intended
TO hold when completed Is 1855 feet The
engineers believe that the danger Will
% only temporary unless continuous
rams cause the water to rise beyond its
present high mark.
During the last week the water has
ber gradually rising In the reservoir.
and for two or three days It had been
running over the spillway of the dam,
Yesterday however the gates were
opened and the water was allowed To-
run INTO the Croton river. 1t is not be-
NeVed today that there is any danger
