A THOUSAND ARE KILLED AND WOUNDED

Upon Peaceful Mission---Strkers Armng and the
End is Not Yet-General Revolution Predicted

The minister of the interior present
ed to his majesty the invitation Of the
workmen to appear at the winter
palace and receive their petition, but
the cZar's advisers had already taken
decision to show firm and resolute
front, and the emperor's answer TO
the 100000 workmen trying to make
solid array of troops who met them
with rife, bayonet and saber. The
The priest, Coupon, the leader and
idol of the men, in his golden vest
ments, holding aloof the cross and
marching at the head of thousands of
workmen through the Narva gate,
miraculously escaped a volley which
laid low half hundred persons. The
total number of wounded here, at the
Moscow gate, at various bridges and
islands and at the winter palace vary.
The best estimate is 500, although
there are exaggerated figures placing
the number as high as 5000.
Many men were accompanied by
their wives and children. and in the
confusion, which left no time for dis
elimination, the latter Jared the fate
Of the men. The troops with the ex-

reported to have laid down arms, re-
mained loyal and obeyed orders. But
the blood which crimsoned the snow
has fired the brains and passions OF
the strikers and turned women as
well as men into wild beasts, and the
cry Of the infuriated populace Is for
vengeance.
II Father Coupon, the master mind
Of the movement, aimed at open revo-
luton, he managed the affair like a
genius to break the faith Of the people
in "the little father" who they were
convinced, and whom Father Coupon
had taught them to believe, would
right their wrongs and redress their
grievances.
Gorsky, the Russian novelist, ex-
presses the opinion that this revolt
will break the faith of the people N
the emperor. He said to a represent.

This has inaugurated revolution In
Russia. The emperor's prestige will
be irrevocably shattered by the shed
ding of innocent blood. He has alien.

Coupon taught the people to believe
that an appeal direct to "the little
father would be needed. They have
been deceived. Coupon is now con,
vinced that peaceful means have
failed and that the only remedy is
7 1rce. The first blood has been shed

The st. Petersburg strike has as
sumed much more serious proportions
than was at any time anticipated. 1t
has been predicted from the start that
trouble would follow, but it was not
expected that Russian guards would
be called in to shoot down the work
ingmen, with their wives and children,
with as little regard for their lives as
a hunter taking pot shot" at
bunch of quail. The strikers, under
the leadership Of Priest Coupon, were
attempting to make an apepal to the
emperor for relief, but were met by
militiamen, who held them back with
loaded muskets. The men plead Of
the soldiers to be allowed hearing
by the czar, and would not disperse
when ordered. The mob formed at
the palace square, where 1t Is esti-
mated, 100000 people had assembled
I'VE have come to present our hon.
age and grievances to the emperor"
Let the emperor come out and hear
us; we do not wish to do HARM"
Long life to Nicholas II. II he only
listens to our grievances we are sure
he will be just and merciful." 1--WE
cannot longer endure our sufferings.
Better die at once and end all"
Such were the cries repeatedly
heard from many strikers.
The military authorities had a firm
grip on every artery in the city. At
daybreak guards, regiments, cavalry
and infantry held every bridge across
the frozen Neva, the network of canals
which interlaces the city and the
gates leading from the industrial Sec
tion, while in the palace square. ut the
storm center were massed dragoon
regiments, infantry and cossacks OF
the guards. Barred from the bridges
and gates, men, women and children
crossed the frozen river and canals on
the ice by twos and threes, hurrying
to the palace square, where they were
sure the emperor would be present to
near them. But the street approaches
to the square were cleared by volleys
and Cossack charges. Men and women,
infuriated to frenzy by the loss of
loved ones, cursed the soldiers while
they retreated. Men harangued the
crowds, telling them the emperor had
foiled them and they had come to cat.
Men began to build barricades in the
Nevsky Prospects and at other points,
using any material that came to hand,
and even chopping down telegraph
poles.
Fighting meantime continued at va
rious places, soldiers volleying and
charging the mob.
In the evening the crowds, exhaust
ed, began to disperse, leaving the mil.
tary in possession. AS they retreatc6 {

thing Of cases in the courts on the subject
Of rebates, and should know Of several
important cases tried in the courts Of
Pennsylvania against prominent railroad
TO recover penalties for granted rebates,
in which every effort was made TO prove
rebates paid to the Standard Oil Company.
No such proof could be produced; but II
was proved that rebates we're allowed
and paid to two Of the Standards principal
competitors. This may serve to remove
DR.. Gladden's doubt whether the Standard
is more virtuous than the rest,
Those who contend that the Standard
has been built up by means Of railway
discrimination wifully shut their eyes to
and are poor students Of the problem OF
modern Industrial combinations.
II this, the only specific allegation made
against John d. Rockefeller IL proven to
be false IL should make the public, and
particularly the religious public, more
careful and charitable in its allegations.
No doubt many have been pTejudiced
against Mr.. Rockefeller by sensational
writers whose articles, accompanied by
portraits and caricatures, are intended
to create the impression that Mr. Rookie
Teller was principal in the affairs relating
to the organization of the gas and copper
companies, although no fact showing such
connection is stated. The Standard Oil
Company has already denied that It had
any connection or interest directly or
corporations, and on the best authority
the same denial il now made for John ID.
Rockefeller He had no connection with
nor interest directly or indirectly in the
organization Of these corporations.

Five Tons OF Iron Swing Out on n Derrick
Arm-PrOmptness OF Engineer.
The uuickness Of a winch engineer saved
the Government derrick-rigged lighter
Victor from turning turtle and dumping
her cargo and crew Of nine men into Atlantic
Basin yesterday afternoon shortly after
1 O'Clock. As IL was, the Victor let slip
overheard about twenty tons Of cement and
iron pipe.
She was moored alongside the Barber
Line steamship Shimosa, bound for the
Philippines and China. The ShimOsa has
been loading at Pier 81, Atlantic Basin, and
the Victor has been doing the greater part
Of the stocking OF the ship. When the
lighter drew alongside yesterday afternoon
she was loaded with cement, iron pipe,
steel plates, bar iron and castings Of many
sorts.
A Ave ton draught Of steel plates was got
together and the carrier Of the derrick
was attached TO the parcel. II was the
winch engineers intention to hoist the
heavy bundle straight upward and then
swing the steel plates TO an angle over the
deck Of the ship As the draught was raised
about twenty feet the port steel guy rope
parted, causing the derrick boom to swing
suddenly TO starboard, which was the
seward side. That five tons Of skyward
ballast at right angles with the gunwale
caused the Victor 20 careen to her beam
ends and everybody looking on thought she
would tip over A the little craft leaned
over, her cargo began TO slide over the low
rail and disappear in the water
The engineer at the winch saw that il
was likely TO be a case Of crew follow
cargo Grabbing a largo hammer he
knocked the clutch on the winch's cog
wheel galley west, with the result that the
derrick hoist rope got free rein. The line
spent like lightning and the five tons Of
steel cut the surface Of the water with a
ker-plug. The Victor stood almost on her
side for a moment as il hesitating. The
crew meanwhile were banging on like
'possums TO a shaking tree. Then, TO the
10y Of all hands, she settled back in a posi-
ton that all well behaved lighters are sup
posed 20 assume.
What cargo the Victor didn't lose was
eventually placed aboard the Shimosa
after a new guy line had been rugged on
the derrick. However, at the suggestion
Of the winch engineer the draugh:s were
reduced 10 two-ton parcels

ALBANY, April 6,-Raphael j. Moses
while he was in Albany to-day filed with
Attorney General Mayer petition request
ing him to examine into the manner in which
the Equitable Life Assurance Society dis
tributes TO the tontine policyholders the
proportion Of the surplus called for in their
several contracts. He calls particular at
tention as a basis Of his application to tOntine
policies held by John j. McGrath and VIII
liam Turnbull, but says that the aPplica-
ton is made by him as a citizen and not
as an attorney.
Mr. Moses in his application discusses
in detail the operations OF the Equitable
through which the surplus is computed.
He maintains that these methods prevent
polcyholders from receiving just pro-
portion. and concludes;
1T may he fairly said that the gains from
these sources (gains from mortality an
nuities. lapsed policies, dc) will exceed
g., 600 600 a year, and have not the slightest
hesitation in affirming therefore, that this
society, by its unlawful methods, Is with
holding the amounts due to its tontine
policyholders and has Incorporated
a sum far in excess Of S5O,OOO,O0O.
Il submit this matter ia Of such public
interest as TO require action on your part.

He insisted that whether or not such an
action should DO brought on behalf Of the
policyholder was none Of the Attorney
Generals business, as the right Of action
was a constitutional privilege which could
not be abridged by the requirement Of the
