London. Nov. 19.--The ST. Peters,

drifting toward ruin. The gift of lib
erty from which she reasonably ex-
pectei happiness and prosperity ha.;
been transformed by handful of re-
volutionlsts iHto n terrible curse.
Trade, commerce, and industry are at
standstill. The workmen are power
~ stricken, yet are disinclined to
work. The schools are closed. Loco
motion is suspended. The railways and
telegraphs are working fltfully. Ev-
erything Is topsy-turvy. Soon all the
world will discern the terrible ravages
made by the chaos of the past few
weeks. The export ira lie has terribly
declined In consequence of the strikes
The losses thus inflicted on the popu-
lation are enormous Gold is steadily
flowing out of the country. Russians
who hold government or other securi-
ties are selling out at any price. and
purchasing English, French and es-
pecially German securities with gold
which they Immediately send or take
abroad.
Banks Are Crowded.
Yesterday the banks were crow led
by panic-strlcken bondholders, who
frantlcaliy demanded foreign money
for Russian script Many intelligent
men and women drive to the banks
and instruct their banks TO transform
their script into gold. and telegraph to
open accounts with the Bank OF Eng
land or the Bank of France. ~Severai
times yesterday the managers of fl
naneial institutions had TO explain to
their affrighted clients that strangers
cannot open accounts with those
banks without further formaities.
In addition TO the outflow of gold
for which there is no export trade to
make good, the service Of the foreign
debt WILL as usual. absorb large sums,
which cannot be replaced without
more foreign loans. The correspond
ent. points out that the outlook will
become worse unless the political sit
uation changes for the better.
IL is feared that the price of the
rouble will fall. owing TO the finan-
eial panic and the enormous transfer
ence OF gold abroad. says the ST. Pet
ershurg correspondent of<the Times
The banks at Moscow refuse, to trans

According TO the Standards st. Pet

fdent that unless something happens
by next Monday they will succeed in
securing the appointment of Grand

From The Electrical Rerics

When telephone central Offices were estah-

continued in Europe to later date and In

In the year 1873 n young man who was

that this work would soon be done by young
women. as they would be superior for the
purpose. being so much more deft in the
manipulation of cords aud other duties. and

Frank O'Leary cabin passenger aboard
the steamship Seguran a, which arrived
on Tuesday from Colon, is seriously i'll Of
yellow fever at Hoffman Island. He Is
interested in mining in Panama and recently
went there to look after his property.
All the passengers and crews Of every
vessel coming from Panama are personally
examined by Health Officer Doty and his
staff at Quarantine because Of the presence
of yellow fever on the Isthmus, O'Leary
was the only man aboard the seguran a
with an abnormally high temperature,
and he was detained and taken to Swim
burne Island for observation. DR.. Doty,
after meteorological examination, de-
clared Yesterday that O'Leary had yellow
fever in bad form, but that there was no
probability that any of his fellow voyagers
was infected. The doctor said last night:
.The period Of incubation for yellow
fever is five days, and the voyage from
Colon to this port is seven days. II any
other passengers aboard the ship had been
infected, it would have been apparent
two days before she arrived here. Every
person aboard except O'Leary seemed to
be in good health. He alone had an ele-
waited temperature.
aIthas been esta blished that the medium of
incubation in yellow fever is the mosquito,
and there is no possibility Of any one here
getting the disease through the sickness Of
in the last several months and they have
got no further than Quarantine. The
examination is rigid and there is no way
in which passenger from yellow fever
district can land in New York without
having his temperature taken"

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi. June 7.-President
George Sverdrup of Augsburg Seminary,
the most prominent Norwegian college in
the Northwest, declared to-day that he
believed that Norway within few days
would declare itself a republic and that
war would follow.
DR.. Sverdrup is grandson of the illus
trious Prof. Sverdrup, who was one
OF the most active advocates and first
signers Of Norway's declaration of indie
pendence Of May II. 1914. He has kept
closely in touch with affairs in his native
country. He says:
1T seems to me that the inevitable re-
suit will be the formation of republic.
This l expect within few days. Then
look for war. Norway is too large and too
rich country to yield without struggle,
and it is not usual among Kings to give up
their realms without making an effort to
prevent.
1.-The Norwegians have been going too fast,
l fear. They should have acted in a con-
stitutional manner with regard to the
consular question, and could thereby have
reached the same end. Their hasty action
is likely to provoke hasty action In many
places"
The news from Christiania to-day created
great excitement among Scandinavians In
the Northwest.
