VIII Gall On Strike.
st. Petersburg, Nov. IA meeting
of the strike committee was held last
night after the PRONUNCIATION of the
emperor's manifesto was known. The
question of calling the strike off was
discussed, but a decision was post
poned until to-day. A damper was
thrown upon the strike enthusiasm by
the news that work had been resumed
In a large part of the factories of st.
Petersburg.
The committeeman talked boldly OF
their ability to call out the men again
and to intimidate the store clerks into
reclosing, but the committee probably
to-day or tomorrow will put a good
face on their defeat and issue a proc
lamation calling off the strike until
January.
No Mutiny in Black Sea.
There appears to be no foundation
for the rumors of mutiny on the YES
sells Of the Black sea fleet which are
in circulation in Odessa and which
have been industriously propagated by
the strikers here for several days.
Shout Themselves Hoarse.
Celebration of the issuance of the
imperial manifesto still continues at
3 o'clock this morning in many streets
OF the city, where crowds are singing
the national hymn. cheering for the
emperor and shouting themselves
lOagse.

New York, Oct. 14.-Five lives
are known to have been lost and
more than thirty persons injured,
some Of them seriously, on the ca.
.nard Line steamer Campania last
Wednesday, when gigantic wave
rolled over the steamer and swept
across a deck thick with steerage
passengers. So sudden was the
coming Of the disaster and go great
the confusion which attended and
followed 1t that even the officers of
the steamer themselves were unable
today, upon the vessels arrival
hers, to estimate the full extent of
the tragedy. It is possible that the
FIVE persons known to be missing
from he steerage may not cousti-
tute the full number Of dead.
John Graham, Of Milwaukee, was
one ofsthe passengers washed over
board and lost. The others who
are known to have lost their lives
were two Irish girls and two other

Cut rates on pianos! You have
heard of cut prices on groceries,
but cut prices on pianoa,-how is it
possible you ask. That is just it..
Before such a thing could be effect

In the first place it means buy

OF the small way of doing business.
1t means tbs cutting out Of every

1t means the shipment of pianos
without boxes in special cars which
saves big sums on freight charges.
Then it means the selliog of pi-

an enormous sea. The wave board

the port side and swept clear across
the steerage deck, completely filling
the space between that deck and
the deck above, and carrying every
thing with it. The steamers side
was buried, and passengers on the
deck above the steerags were sub
merged to their waists as the i'm
mense volume of water rolled aft
and then surged forward. All tae
cabin passengers on the upper

It is not only gravestone, but is in

SOME POSSIBLE COMPENSATION

Compensating benefits may follow the senatorial
scandal that will be worth all the humiliation Cali
fornia has suffered It would be reflection the in
telligence Of our people say that they will not take
heed of the disgrace brought upon the state by the
senatorial boodlers.
To use homely saying "a singed cat breads the
fire." After being not only singed but scorched and
blistered will California take measures to avoid the
risk of being broiled or roasted in future?
The shameful revelation of venaly in the senate
will be worth all it costs in state disgrace If II leads
the people of this state to do their obvious duty in
the future
Let It not be forgotten that the people directly
accountable for the kind of lawmakers they send to Sac
ramento The senatorial boodlers for instance
we'll known in their several communities before their
election. Bunkers and French familiar figures in
San Francisco; Emmons known to all citizens Of
Kern county Wright to the citizens of Santa
Clara
But all that is in the past tense The mistake made
in sending unfahful to make laws for California
is fully recognized, and is timely to consider the
bearing Of the past and the present the future sit
uaton
Unless the people of California now determine to
purify the legislature by future selection OF members
who above suspicion the situation necessarily must
progress from bad and ultimately to the
superative worst The legislative corruption now ex
posed to public view will not dry up like mud in the
sunshine On the contrary, If left alone it WILL like
yeast, Heaven the whole lump"
The venaity exposed in this session of the legisla
ture cannot be forgotten when the time comes to Sc
lect the next group of California lawmakers 1t is safe
say that no county will be inclined to take the risk
of such disgrace has fallen upon Kern, Santa
Clara and San Francisco by reason of the perfdy of
their representatives in the senate The sentiments
of the people throughout the state have been expressed
emphacally in reprobation of the booders that all
the present facts to be In mind when the time
comes for choosing another legislature.
There is cause for hope therefore that the present
lesson paid for at the price of Cafornas shame may
result ultimate benefit by raising the moral level Of
the legislature to line of equality with the national
greatness and glory of the state.

VALUE OF A TRADE

suggestive report is the from Yale university
telling that many students, chiefly those of the scien
tifc and mechanical engineering classes, have applied
for positions locomotive engineers and remen on
the New York & Hartford railway Nearly two hun
dred such applications are said to have been made
all contingent upon threatened strike of engineers and
fremen that line.
This readiness of students practically to apply
scientific or mechanical knowledge acquired at school
suggests interesting line of thought. Would not
threefourths of the Yale students who made that
proffer subserve their best interests by leaving the
university and taking to the locomotive for life
service?
There tens of thousands of university graduates
fremen, the carpenter the bricklayer and sometimes
the hod carrier They familiar with abstruse
text books but they find such knowledge but rarely of
practical value in the life struggle Such a man would
gladly exchange the parchment which seemed priceless
to him at graduation for the mechanical trade of
man who earns good wages.
There university graduates in Los Angeles today
doubt, who would jump at the chance of getting EN-
poyment at half the wages earned by locomotive eng
neers-$125 to $3.50 month. There such grad
yates, probably, who glad to have present EN-
mechanics, and who also would be glad if they could
enjoy the eighthour system of work.
A university education is desirable in many re-
speets but means of getting through this busy
world with the minimum of trial and trbulaton Il is
less valuable in the average than a good mechanical
trade.

The only exception to the provisions of the ordinance

Fine Arts Reception

One of the most delightful events of
the season was the reception given
yesterday afternoon and evening by
Prof. w. L. Judson, dean of the Los
Angeles College of Fine Arts, U. S. c.,
at the college building In Garvanza.
The main feature Of the exhibition was
large canvas, "The Shipwreck,"
which ELECTED much praise by the
many lovers of art present. Twenty
pictures of the desert were also ex-
hiblted by this we'll known artist as
well as a large number of other sub
jects.
Prof. Judson is well known in art
circles and his receptions are always
largely attended by those who appre-
ciate art.
novel feature of the evening was
the exhibition in a darkened room Of
a small charcoal sketch of a, moonlight
water scene. On this sketch had been
used luminous clay, which has re-
Gently been discovered in the hills Of
light and gives vivid reflection in the
moonlight scene, making a vivid con-
trast to the small ship in the fore
ground. Thomas Fellows of Garvanza
explained the new discovery to the
guests.
During the evening Madam Marian
Gordon rendered several vocal solos.
Professor Pryor, director of the Col
lege of Music Of Kansas, played several
piano selections. These numbers added
greatly to the enjoyment of the
evening.
Dainty refreshments were served by
the senior students Of the college in
the deans studio.
