meeting between Secretary Taft and the
President at the White House the ques-
ton of transferring the Panama Canal
affairs from the War Department and
Secretary Taft to the State Department,
where Secretary Root would be in
charge, was discussed. Secretary Taft

siderable discussion before it is.

pines and the War Department to look
after, in addition to the nunberless du-
ties which are put upon him that are en-
tirely outside the province of a Secre-

exceedingly arduous and difficult.

were thrown at the Cossacks Sunday
evening The troops fred and general
panic ensued Many persons were killed
or wounded.
Moscow, (By Cable) The number oil
strikers here was increased by the bakers
joining their ranks Bread is still pro-
durable at double price. No newspapers
are printed here, and even St. Petersburg
papers are scarce, the striking printers
having waylaid the supplies and torn
them to pieces.
| Sunday the crowds on the 1verskoy
Street Boulevard assumed threatening
proportions. The police and military
horse and foot, with Cossacks, were
fully prepared. A pitched battle took
place. The troops, who fired three vol
leys pointblank at the people, were met
by the crowd with stones and revolvers.
1t is impossible to estimate the casual
ties, as, according to custom, immedi-
ately the mob was dispersed the streets
were cordoned and the dead and wound
ed removed into yards, the gates OF
which were closed.
| 1t is feared that the workmen to the
number of 10000 employed in the great
factories may join the demonstration.
! The populace is exasperated to the last
| degree, less by the open street fighting
than by the action of the police against
all and sundry after the disturbance had
been Queiled.
This was a repetition of what hap
Epened earlier in the year. The project
has issued proclamation which pleases
the police and troops in an absolute pos
session of more rights than a civilized
army would employ against an enemy in
time of war In virtue of the proclama-
ton, the police seize any person they
please. Any pretext is sufficient for an
arrest.
After the fighting was over boys and
youths, men and women were dragged
into the projects courtyard, the gates OF
which were then closed. Thereupon began
what is known as giving lesson to the
"intellectuals." Scores were taken to a
long table, along the sides of which
were drawn up two lines OF picked
troops, mostly Cossacks. The victims
were made to run the gauntlet. There
were 50 men on each side, who brutally
struck them with whips and the butt
ends of rifles.
The victims of this ferocious brutality
are forced to run the gauntlet until they
drop fainting or dead. They are then
picked up and removed to prison, the
inhrn1ary or mortuary. The unfortunate
creatures are then taken straight from
the street tc-this peculiar Russian form
of execution, without the possibility of
offering any defense or hearing what ac-
cusaton is made against them.
1t is stated that bomb that was
thrown at the game market killed IL
Cossack patrols. 1t is impossible to con-
firm the report, but it is certain that a
number of riderless Cossack horses re-
turned to the barracks after the collision
with the mob.

that the person who had the necklace
