Privy Council Overrules Cana
dian Justice In Greene
Gaynor Case.

London, Feb. 9.-The privy council
has rendered it's decision in the Greene
Gaynor case in favor of the America
government. The council reversed the
two judgments Of Justice Caron, of
Quebec, August Is, 1909, and ordered
the respondents to pay the costs of ap-
peal.
The councils decision criticizes the
action of Justice Caron in releasing
Greene and Gaynor and Caron's sex
traordinary Intervention" and adds:
"Where prisoner is brought before
competent tribunal charged with an
extradition offense, and is remanded
for the express purpose of affording the
prosecution an opportunity of bringing
forward evidence whereby the accusa-
ton is to be supported; if, in such a
case, on a writ Of habeas corpus. a
learned judge treats remand warrant
as nullity and proceeds to adjudicate
the case as though the whole evidence
was before him, it would paralyze the
administration of justice and render it
impossible for proceedings in extradi-
ton to be effective"
The decision simply reverses Justice
Caron's judgments and leaves Greene
and Gaynor under remand as before
Justice Caron interviewed.

Amendment to Railroad Bill.

Amendment to Railroad Bill.
Washington, Feb. 9.-While Presl-
dent Roosevelt approves Of the Esch-
Townsend railroad freight bill pending
before the house Of representatives, 1t
is understood that he would like to
have incorporated in it stronger provl-
sions relating to privatecar lines.
Representative Babcock, OF Wlscon-
sin, had talk yesterday about the
pending legislation. He holds the
same views regarding private car lines
as the president. They discussed the
bill for some time. Other mem bers
also talked with the president about
pending railroad legislation.
The president is endeavoring to
bring about action in the senate at this
session on the rate question. hoping
the senate may take up the Esch-
Townsend measure when the bill
reaches it.
A delegation of Georgia and West
Virginia peach growers appeared yes
terday before the subcommittee Of the
house committee on interstate and for
eign commerce, investigating private
car lines in protest against any legis-
lation that might have the effect of
eliminating the use Of private cars.

Claim Delegation to Gar were Not
Selected by Them.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 6.-Four thou.
sand workmen in the carshops here
have drawn up a manifesto disclaim.
ing the delegates who were put for
ward as representing them in the dep
utation which visited the emperor last
Wednesday They assert that these
men were selected by the employers
and were not representatives of the
workmen. The employees of one or
two other factories may follow suit,
but the workmen in general are inclin-
ed to stand by the deputation. :
There were q few slight collisions
between Lessner's workmen and the
police guarding the factory yesterday.
Poland, however, continues to be the
storm center of the disturbances.
Though the strike has ceased in some
establishments, it has assumed a more
important phase by it's extension to the
great coal mines and sugar factories,
and three more governments, Kalisz,
Radon and Siedec, have been placed
under martial law.
Strikes in Tiflis and other parts. Of
the Caucasus are FREQUENT, and the
present one does not attracg much at
tention, except as bearing on the gen.
eral situation in Russia

WANT WAR ENDED.
RUSSIAN PAPERS MAKE DEMAND
FOR PEACE.
Strike Situation Becomes Of Sec
Oudary importance in View of
Renewed Agitation for CeSSa-
fiOn of HOStiiitieS-SOme of the
Articles Amazingly OutSpOken.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 9.-The strike
situation has become Of secondary i'm
portance in view of the renewal Of the
agitation in favor of peace.
For the first time since the outbreak
of the strike the newspapers have TAX
en- up the cry of "stop the war;" and
some of these articles are so amazingly
outspoken and determined in their SEN
timents that it can only be supposed
that the censor has authority to permit
the peace sentiment to spread among
the people, probably in the expectation
that sudden cessation of hostilities
would otherwise come as too much OF
shock to the war party.
The press of South Russia has taken
the lead this time.
A partial strike at the Putiloff iron
works and the complete tie-up OF the
St. Petersburg car factory gave rise to
rumors yesterday of general recrudes-
cence of the strike movement here, but
the strike has not extended to other es-
ia blishments, and the success of the
manager of the Putiloff works in pre-
venting the great body of the workmen
from following the example of their
comrades in two Of the shops, who
had walked out, gives basis for hope
of an amicable settlement. The pres
ent trouble involves the questions of
pay for the time the men were on
strike and the eight hour day, which
were discussed at meeting of the en-
,ployers last night.
The students Of the military acad-
envy of medicine yesterday struck on
the ground that owing to police inter
vention it is impossible to carry on
their education. They demand that
the academy close until fire, dom is
granted them.

COMERFORD EXPELLED.
Illinois Legislator Thrown Out
Because of Bribery
Charges.

Springfield, Ills, Fbe. 9.-Frank D.
Comerford, representative from the
Second senatorial district of Cook
county to the general assembly, was
yesterday expelled from that body, as
member, and his name stricken
from the rolls of the house.
His expulsion was the climax of a
series of sensational charges of corrup-
ton and attempted bribery made by
Mr.. Comerford against mem bers Of the
Illinois legislature in lecture before
a law college in Chicago, which were
investigated by a special committee of
the house appointed for that purpose,
which found, after protracted sittings
and listening to great mass of testi-
mony, that the charges brought by
Mr. Comerford were unfounded. The
committee reported this finding to the
house without recommendation as to
punishment, but the reading of the re-
port was followed by resolution fol
the expulsion of Mr.. Comerford.
The resolution cited, Mr.. Comerford
to appear tefore the bar of the house
and show cause why he should not be
expelled.
Mr.. Comerford declined to take up
the time of the house by further de-
lay, waving his right to prepare his
defense, and stated that he was ready
right then to defend himself. He was
taken at his word, and in speech of
more than an hours duration he re-
viewed the testimony taken before the
investigating committee and scored the
committee for SO limiting the scope of
the investigation that, "God Almighty
Himself, if he came here, would have
been prevented from getting evidence
against self-confessed thief
"This committee stands convicted
before the country of resorting to sub
terfuges to prevent any real investiga-
tion." he said.
Members of the investigating com.
mittee, one after the other, arose and
hotly resented Mr.. Comerford's reflec-
tions on the action Of the committee.
One after another members attacked
MIR. Comerford for his attacks on
them.
On the roll call the resolution of ex.
pulsion was adopted, 121 to 13. Eight
members declined to vote.

CAUSES MUCH FEAR.
Assassination Nay Arouse Other
Deeds of Violence,

Assassination Nay Arouse Other
Deeds Of Violence.
st. Petersburg, Feb. THE news
Of the assassination of Soisalon Soini
men, procurator general of Finland
though occurring before mono on Mon
day, was not generally known in St.
Petersburg last night, but it is expect
ed to produce an immense sensation
when it becomes public, as it will be
the precursor of an era of terrorism,
for which the events of January in St.
Petersburg and throughout Russia gave
the signal.
Until the identity of the assassin is
definitely known it will be impossible
of course, to establish the motive Of
the deed, but the present circum.
stances in Finland render it almost
certain that the crime is of a purely
political character and of the same ma.
ture as the assassination of Count 30.
brikoff, the governor of Finland, in
June last year.
The classification of the province Of
Finland has been meeting with great
opposition and creating much bitter
ness, especially since the formation Of
the party Of active resistance, which
is recruiting from the holder spirits Of
the original party Of passive resistance,
and to which the perpetrator OF the
latest crime probably belonged.
At the conference of Revolutionary
parties of Russia, comprising represen'
tatives Of the Finnish active resistance
party, the Polish National League, the
Russian emancipationists and other
revolutionary organizations in Berlin
last night, a platform for general oon-
certed action was drawn up, and the
assassin of Soininen undoubtedly was
in touch with the dissatisfied clemens
throughout Russia.
As a matter Of fact, never before In
the history of the empire have events
Of an anti-government nature been Id
closer connection, as has been shown
by the universal spread Of the STRIKE
moevment; and the ssssination OF Soln-
linen, though principally inspired 0!
the grievances of Finnish nationalist
undoubtedly was also spurred on BY tne
use Of troops against the strikers IN d.
Petersburg and elsewhere.
