Burlington, Vt. Oct 2S.-The four teen children at St Joseph's orphan asylum in this city who survived from the effects of the poisoning which re- suited in the death of three little girls there on Thursday night were slowly improving to-day and physicians eX- pressed the opinion that all would re- cover. It developed to-day that the body of Nellie Blair, years old, one of the victims, was sent directly to Alburg, where relatives of the child reside, by the city health officer, no autopsy being performed The physi- cians of this city are making a coll certed effort to have the body brought back here for an examination.
 The autopsy conducted by the state board of health yesterday was on the bodies of the two other victims, whose names the authorities at the asylum refuse to give out. At the state labor atory, where some of the organs of the bodies were taken yesterday for further examination, it was stated to- day that 1t had not yet been found possible to determine the nature of the poison which caused death. The examination would not be concluded, it was stated, for two or three days. It was announced that the symptoms which preceded the illness of the chil- dren were similar to those of scarlet fever, but the autopsy had determined positively that there was no trace of that or any other disease

BUSINESS PARALYZED,
 SOLDIERS IN COMMAND
Bloodshed Feared at St. PetersburgLast Railroad Link is Broken and Panic is May Follow-.Strikers Throw Bomb at Chief of Police-- Carriage Wrecked, Chief and Attendants Injured.

St Petersburg, Oct 2S d1:20 a. m.) A condition bordering upon panic pre- vails here today. Business is com pletely suspended. Soldiers are every where in the streets and bloodshed on a large scale is feared. The govern ment is trying to appease the in famed populace, but the revolution aries seem determined to force an armed conflict. The last railroad link connecting the capital with the outside world was broken last night when the Finland railroad discontinued service between St Petersburg and the Finnish border, but communication by water is still open The cable is still operating, although the postoffice is closed and the only papers to appear this morning were the Official Messenger and the army organs, which printed directions for the military. The former con- tained letter from General Trepoff, who is in command of the St Peters burg garrison, and addressed to the provincial governors, instructing them to all public meetings for the discus sion of political questions and to in terpret the law literally under Count Witte's direction. The government realizes that repression by arms in the tremendously excited state of the country would be fatal and meetings are allowed as safety valves. Further meetings at the university here have been prohibited, but three buildings have been set aside for meetings in St Petersburg, and General Trepoff has instructed the governors to select buildings in all the cities
 Much alarm is shown at some of the embassies for the safety of foreign subjects and the situation is being gravely discussed. Beyond prelim- mary arrangements for the dispatch of embassy mails by boat, however, no steps have yet been taken.
 Photographic communication with the Interior is open, but the dispatches re- ceived are meagre. Communication with so1ne places is entirely interrupt ed.
 From all over the empire the story is the same--work stopped, no news papers printed, schools closed and the business life of the people suspended. The cry of the masses is always the same-political liberty. The military Everywhere are in possession, the in habitants are terror stricken. many cities are in darkness, and at Reval a mob began work last night. The riot CTS sacked the shops and this morn- ing the city is on fire The theaters and spirit shops are burning.
 Kharkoff is under martial law.
 The most startling news, however, comes from Moscow. where all the political parties have joined in a reso- lution to set up the provisional govern ment. Details, however. are lacking. and the exact progress of this attempt at formal insurreetion is not known.

The army eleven, light and fast, with every man in better physi- cal condition than last Saturday, when 1t surprised Harvard, was regarded as q dangerous opponent for Yale. sln the West Point team were many of the veterans who helped defeat Yale last year, reinforced this season by a new drop kicker. The gridiron cham pions in an effort to make their vic tory to-day certain and to roll up a score which shall exceed the II points made by West Point last year, have worked all this week at New Haven under the direction of a full eleven of Yale's former football stars. With the team to-day came megaphone brigade of about 300 undergraduates from New Haven, many automobiles brought supporters of both elevens from New York city, and on the high plateau over the Hudson serving both for a military parade ground and foot ball field thousands of spectators gath nvsn ff. tHn

Letters to American Tell How Japs
 Feel Over the Treaty.


 Boston, Oct 2S.-Letters to the American board from Japan indicate that the attitude of the Japanese to- ward the peace treaty was surprise at the mission stations. Miss Parme- lee of Matsuyama writes:
 Whereas I expected to hear banzais and see all the flags floating, not one was heard or seen. On the contrary there was an ominous, oppressive still ness--one waits with some anxiety to see what the Japanese, the real peo- pie, the nation. will do now"
 MT Newell, also of Matsuyama, says: Never since the Meiii era began has such a sullen aspect come over Japan as has greeted the announcement of peace"
 While this is the present attitude of the people. however, the missionaries of the board regard it as but tem- poraary.
