MOVED cHIcAeo's PosroFFIcE
Gigantic Task of Transferring Mail.

Gigantic Task of Transferring Mail.
Chicago, Ill.-The gigantic task
of moving the Chicago postoffice into
the new quarters in the recently COM
pleted $6,000,000 federal building, with
out delaying or disturbing the handling
of approximately two million pieces
OF mail matter which the office handles
daily, began Saturday. Frederick E.
Coyne, the postmaster, was the author
ity for the statement that the work
of the postoffice, which collects and
delivers mail over a territory of 1914
square miles, would proceed without
a moments delay.
BY Sunday, the mail, including the
outgoing, but with the exception of
certain kinds of second class matter
which would be handled from the tenn
porary structure for some weeks yet,
will be cared for in the new building.
The moving began without cere-
mony. although United States Senator
Hopkins and the majority of the
Chicago congressman together with
representatives from the postmaster
generals department were present.
Our installation here today" said
Mr.. Coyne, marks a distinct change
in methods of handling mail in Chica-
go. Work that has been done by hand
ever since there was a postoffice here
will be done by machinery. l believe
we now have the best equipped Office
machinery in the world. With pneu-
matte tubes running from the post
office to all the principal stations, and
with the prospect that within a few
weeks all heavy matter will be carried
by electric cars to the depots, through
the tunnels of the Illinois Tunnel COM
pany. l believe that the beginning of
the new year will find mail handled
faster in Chicago than any other place
in the world"

CHAOS REIGNs IN RUSSIA.
Trade and Traffic Paralyzed-Troops
Swarm Everywhere.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 2S.-The con-
dition in st. Petersburg is that of one
fairly under seige, with surprises
threatened from within, almost COM
pletely isolated and its scanty store
of provisions being rapidly exhausted.
The garrison, however, is overwhelm-
ingly large. General Trepoff has co.
900 troops under his command, which
are distributed in every section OF
the city. There is scarcely a block
without it's military patrol. Infantry
and cavalry are quartered in court
yards all over town, the barracks are
crowded and the watch fires of the
soldiers, who are bivouacking in the
streets, light up the thoroughfares
where electricity has been extinguish-
ed.
Nevsky Prospect, the citys main
avenue, which last night was in dark
ness, tonight presents a weird APP
pearance. A powerful searchlight,
mounted at the admiralty, Eliminates
the center of the avenue with a blind
ing light, leaving the sidewalks in
darkness. There was constant con-
the evening by an attempt of the Cos
sacks and gendarmes to clear the
sidewalks. Two hundred thousand
men are idle. Workmen's meetings
held throughout the city today unani-
mously favored continuing the strike.
The laborers during the afternoon
stopped all the business of the city.
The situation at Moscow parallels
that in st. Petersburg. The same
paralysis has seized Russia's second
city. The strike is general. The
people are defying all prohibitions,
and are swarming to the universities
and other meeting places. A provi-
sional government has already been
organized and is waiting to exercise
its powers. The university is barri-
caded against the troops.
The populations of other towns are
growing more violent and reports of
disorders are arising in large numbers
from all sections. The efforts of the
troops so far have been generally sue
ceSSful

GREAT STRIKE ENDS
RAILROADS IN Russia. ARE AGAIN
In OPERATION.
Celebration of Cars Manifesto Con-

the Emperor-PeopIe and cossacks
Best of Friends Again-Guards
have Been Withdrawn.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-The strike
has ended on the Moscow & st. Peters
burg, the Moscow & Kazan and the
Moscow & Archangel railroads.
Celebration of the issuance of the
imperial manifesto still continues at
o'clock this morning in many streets
of the city, where crowds are singing
the national hymn, cheering for the
emperor and shouting themselves
hoarse. The restaurants and cafes
were closed at 2 o'clock, disgorging
their crowds, which had been drinking
and making merry for hours around
the tables to augment the demonstra-
ton in the thoroughfares. The Cos
sack patrols were utterly discounted
and COMPOUNDED and were wholly at
loss to understand the meaning of the
demonstration or why the crowds
were singing God Save the EN-
perer," Russia's magnificent national
anthem, instead of the "Marseillaise."
The people displayed the utmost
good humor toward the Cossacks.
They surrounded their horses and
their perplexed riders, shouting, you
can go home now. We no longer need
you. We have liberty"
The crowds babe the Cossacks to
doff their caps in honor of the con-
stitution. After o'clock the patrols
were withdrawn from the streets
which were left in charge of the ordi-
nary night force of policemen.

Niagara falls is to be preserved as
one of the seven wonders of the world,
under formal agreement between the
United States and Great Britain. The
hand of industry which has been di-
verting the waters from this stipend
GUS cataract is to be stayed. In ac-
cordance with instructions given by
the president, Secretary Root will mi
tiate negotiations with Sir Mortimer
Durand, British ambassador, for the
purpose of limiting the use of the wa
ters of Niagara river for industrial
purposes. The prospect of the de-
struction of Niagara falls as one of ma
lures scenic wonders was called to
the attention of the president some
weeks ago by civic association of
New York.
In connection with the negotiations
it will be necessary for the two gov
ernments to consider the effect upon
the electrical power and other indus
tries already established on both sides
of the stream.
The estimated gross income of the
combined power companies is in the
neighborhood of $10,000,oO0 per an

Where Wreck Occurred.

Kansas City. Mo-, Oct. 31.-Thir-
teen persons were killed and 80 per-
sons were injured in the wreck of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe passen-
ger train No. 1, known as the Califor-
MIA express. While running at the
rate of 35 miles an hour the train
struck a loose rail, ditching five cars,
one mile east of Blue River, which
is the eastern limits of this city.
The wreck occurred at what rail-
road men call the Rock creek cut, on
a curve where jagged rock walls rise
on each side of the track almost 100
feet high The engine was going so
rapidly that it passed the loose rail in
safety, jumped the track and struck
the side of the bluff to the right, and
the four cars following plowed through
it and shot against the high stone wall
at the left. The sides of the coaches
were torn off by scraping against the
rough stone surface and passengers
and trainmen ground against the wall
were either killed outright or badly
hurt.
