M. GoRKY'S REARREsT.
Freed Yesterday but Immediately
Again Taken Into Custody.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 28. - Maxim
Gorky. had but short glimpse of lib
erty yesterday. Released on $4,000
bail, he was Immediately rearrested
and conveyed to place of confinement
pending deportation to some distant
city or province, where his continued
residence, it is thought, will be less
dangerous to the welfare of the gov
ernment than 1t would be here.
The release Of NJ. Gorky was ef-
fected by order of Governor General
Tropoff who, after the friends of the
writer had overcome obstacle after OBJ
stacle and won the grudging assent of
the hierarchy and officials, signed the
mandate admitting him to bail.
The arrest was the act of the all
powerful governor general, who is un-
willing to allow such a firebrand to be
at large in the capital of which prac-
tically he is the supreme ruler.
NJ Goriy knew nothing of the gov
ernor generals decision when the
doors of the cell which had been his
home for the past five weeks swung
open. His disappointment, therefore,
was pitiable when, just as he was
passing out Of the great gate of the
fortress of st. Peter and st. Paul, he
again was arrested.
His appearance indicated that his
health had suffered from the effects OF
his confinement, even though the rig
ors Of prison diet had been relaxed in
his favor.
In the custody of two officers of the
department of secret police, which is
charged with the protection of men,
bers of the imperial family, M. Gorky
was placed in a closed carriage and
conveyed to the headquarters of the
secret police, in a house formerly be-
longing to the poet Pushkin, where he
will remain at present, pending the re-
ceipt of orders assigning his place of
future residence.
Disappointed as was NJ Gorky at
the outcome of the days business, he
was no more so than were his wife
and children, who having been In
formed of the decision to release him
Oh bail, awaited his return home for
hours When the correspondent last
night visited the apartments occupied
by the authors family the windows
were brilliantly lighted in honor of
the anticipated appearance of the hus-
band and father
Madame Pieshkoff was at the door
the instant the bell sounded, not wait
ing for her servant to answer the
summons, and an 8-year-old son of the
author darted out from an adjoining
room.
She concealed her disappointment
bravely when informed of the re-
arrest of her husband, and forced her.
self to smile as she discussed the
probable place of his exile, saying she
hopes 1t will be where the climate Is
such that her husbands health will
not suffer, as it did in his former ex-
lie, when he was forced to appeal for
permission to change his residence
10 the milder climate of the Crimea.

persons, who were crushed in the
wreckage of the flooring and pews.
As great volume of dust for a few mo

from the windows by means of lad
ders. Those lying in the mass of
wreckage on the lower floor could
only be got at after the firemen had
hewed their way to them with axes.
Out of the wreck 10 bodies were re-
covered and taken to station house
and about 30 persons were removed
to the Brooklyn hospital, where three
women died soon after being admit
ted. All the ambulances in Brooklyn
were called out and about a score Of
those hurt were able to go home after
their injuries had been attended to.

who came to identify the dead.
Those killed were: Bertha Green,
Teresa Ellis, Samuel Chisholm, Anna
Bean, Anna Sullivan, Louisa Smith,
Mary Scott, four unidentified women,
one unidentified child, one unidentified

Bacteria In Money Disastrous
Flres-Double Tragedy at Corning.
Senate Called In Special Session.
An action of no mean proportions
is in progress on the Russian left
flank. The advantage thus far Is on
the side of the japanese, though at
heavy cost.
From advices from the front 1t Is
difficult to say how severe the losses
have been or how decisive the re-
verse, and whether the Japanese are
likely to attempt to drive in the Rus
sian left much further.
General Kuropatlin evidently has
been trying to establish his left flank
far in advance, to command the cross
ings of the Taitse river, the opera
ton being counterpart of General
Grippenberg's movement on the right
flank to secure the fords of the Hun
river preparatory to the breaking up
of the ice In the spring.
The scene of the operations is so
miles southeast Of Mukden, beyond
Da pass, an important defile command
ing the road to Fusan. Both armies
occupying apparently impregnable po-
sitions on the centers, General Kuro-
patkin evidently planned to inaugu-
rate widely sweeping operations on
both fianks, but the Japanese coun-
tered hard.
According to Vladivostok dispatch
the entrance to that harbor Is open.
and the squadron, which is seaworthy,
is apparently taking no risks but Is
saving its strength for cooperation
with Vice Admiral Rojestvensl;y's
squadron.
