PEOPLE ARE VICTIMS OF
 SENSATIONAL RUMORS.

The people are extremely nervous and bordering on panic, and are easy victims of every sensational rumor.
 Among countless baseless reports which received credence today, were that the Emperor had embarked on a vessel and had fled to Denmark that General Ire poff had been killed by bomb, and that Vice Admiral Birileff had been assassi- mated by mutineers In the Black sea.
 With a strike in the government post office tonight, communication with the interior practically ceased. Government troops were placed in the telegraph offices but only few lines are working. Many lines including the land lines to the con- tinent, and to I.ibau, where they con- meet with the cable, have been cut. At 10 o'clock, however, the cable by way of Nystad and Sweden was still open. This is now the only thread connecting Rus sia with the outer world. Admiral Dur novo, superintendent of posts and tele- graphs, to the representative of an Eu- ropean power this evening, said that he could not tell how long communication with the rest of Europe would last.

LOYALTY OF IMPERIAL
 GUARDS IS DOUBTED.

Grave dOuDtS are eXpIeSSeu aS W whether even the imperial guard can now be relied upon. Discomfort is rife. Early this morning the fourteenth equippage or sailors of the guard, who have been shut up like prisoners in barracks on the Moska canal, demolished the windows and furniture. In the afternoon detach- ment consisting of four officers of the guard went to the lawyers assembly and told the barrlsters that many officers, and a large part of the troops, were dis gusted with the government and ready to enlist in the movement for freedom. They asked for aid toward effecting or ganizatipn and said they had discussed among themselves the question of reslgh- ing but decided to show that people In uniform could help to achieve liberties Even the Cossack patrols in keeping idlers moving on the streets today seemed care ful not to use their whips, and simply drove the crowds along before their ad- vancing horses.
 A meeting of the municipal council was held this evening, at which deputation of thirty members of the strikers com mittee appeared. In an impassioned speech the leader of the deputation presented the following demands of the workmen, and affiliated organizations:
 l. constitution and political liberty.
 2. That the city furnish food to the workmen.
 B. That the city refuse further supplies to the troops and the police.
 f. That the troops be removed from the waterworks or otherwise the strikers would cut the water supply.
 5. The immunity of the deputation from arrest
 The council granted this last demand and promised to reply to the other de- mands tomorrow. The council sent re- quests to both General Trepof and Min ister of the Interior Bouigan not to ar rest the mef of the deputation, but the police ne, Aheless took them into custody Upon urgent representations Trepoff an hour later released them.

 TO PROTECT AMERICANS

The foreign embassies have discussed the situation. but have as yet taken no steps regarding the safety of foreign re- sidents As precaution the state de- partment at Washington has been re- uuested to confer authority for the char ter of a vessel, to hoist on it the Ameri- can flag as refuge for Americans The negotiations for a new loan will be for mally adjourned tomorrow, as neither the government nor the bankers are prepared to close the negotiations while the pres ent situation continues.
 J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., and George w. Perkins are negotiating with the Ham burg-American Steamship company for the dispatch of vessel to take them off in case of necessity.
 The university and polytechnic institute were surrounded by troops who blocked all the adjacent streets and the students and professors were kept within the con- fines of each institution.
 Even the druggists have struc md as there are many sick, the physicis have divided the city into districts ah also have selected stations for the giving of first aid to the injured in cases of col lisions between the troops and the people.

Such news as comes from the interior shows no improvement in the situation. The government everywhere seems pow erless to break the political strike.

1904, Of Mrs. Bessie Bouton. The local

Brus-.. who came to this city from Aus
tralia with Ellis. and, with handsome
woman as a confederate, lured Ellis to
2214 Ellsworth street, Berkeley, planned
his murder and dismemberment, and
nearly carried out their diabolical plot.
According to Ellis, whose additional
story has given the police the Oppor-
tunity to trace the movements of
Brush and the woman ever since they
left Colorado Springs. Brush made a
confession to him October Sd, when he
spent the night in the house rented by
the pair in Berkeley. Ellis said that
Andrews told him while Brush and
the woman were in Denver she went
out disguised to procure food, going
about the city without fear of detec-
tion.
In the antipodes Brush lived under
the name of Clayton Hill, which he
told Ellis was his true name. Brush
told Ellis his reason for hiding in Den.
yer was. to escape the police, who
wanted him in connection with the en-
bezzlement of $4,000 from a Denver
firm. A young man was arrested for
the theft and Brush stated that he had
secured the money from him in a card

MORE SHIPPING NEEDED.
Secretary Shaw DepIores Lack Of Mer-
chant Marine.

Neutrality-suspicious. prevailed In the
important speeches befare the Ameri-
can Bankers Association convention
here to-day the sentiment that finan-
cial legislation is necessary. Thirty
three hundred bankers applauded Sec
retary Shaw to the echo when he con-
cluded lengthy address. the burden
of which was a panorama OF the pros
perity of the country. contrasted with
a monetary system which is infiexible
and liable thereby to bring disaster at
any crucial time.
In his address, the secretary dis
cussed at great length the urgent need
OF "A great American mercantile ma
rine, enlarging upon the almost utter
lack Of direct steamship communica-
tion with So6th America and closed as
follows:
I'VE occupy the best position on the
map. We have the safest and the most
convenient form of money in the world.
We speak the language Of commerce.
Our farms produce more than the
farms Of any other country. Our mines
yield gold literally by the carload, sill
yer by the train load, and there is un-
loaded on the shores of single COM
monwealth more iron ore than any
other country produces. Our forests
yield one hundred million feet Of lum-
ber for ever day of the calendar year.
Our factories turn out more finished
products than all the factories Of Great
Britain and Germany combined by
more than three thousand millions ev-
cry twelve months. We transport this
matchless product Of farm and factory,
forest and mine, from the interior to
the sea at one-third what similar SER
vice costs anywhere else beneath the
skies. We carry it from point to point
along the coast in better vessels. on
quicker time, and at cheaper rates
than others. But at our coast line we
are brought to an abrupt halt. Here
we are no longer independent. Our for
eign commerce is four times as large
as forty years ago, but we carry in our
ships only one-third as many gross
tons as forty years ago. We have pro-
tected and encouraged every interest
but our merchant marine. and every
protected interest has flourished. We
have every facility for international
commerce except international me--
chants, International bankers, and an
international merchant marine. Shall
we not have these?"

Writ Of supsrsedeas Denied BY su-

TriaI-senteneed for From Two to
Four Years.
Denver.-Edwin NJ. Johnson, former
president and manager OF the defunct
Fidelity Savings Association. is now
in the state penitentiary. The Fidelity
company failed in July, 1894, and when
1t was found how coT plete the wreck
was the officers were indicted on vari-
GUS counts. Among the things charged
to Johnson was falsifyinga report In the
previous six months. Under the vari-
GUS counts he was arraigned for trial
at three different times in the last
year, but a conviction WAS not secured.
Twice the jury failed to agree. In the
latter part OF August. he was tried in
the West Side court before Judge Gar
rigues of the Greeley district on the
above charge.
Johnson was defended by Ralph Tai
bot and Thomas Ward. and Greeley
Whitford and Harry SilvertOn OF the
districts attorneys office conducted
the case for the people. The pros
ecution claimed that in falsifying
his report Johnson had estimated
tnaL tne company nau securities
worth $780,, ,330.24. when as fact
such securities were approximately
$769 9,2S1.S6; that the institution was
in fact more than a half a million
dollars below its reported standing.
The jury was out less than an hour,
and within two hours after rendering a
verdict of guilty, the court had denied
motion for new trial and sentenced
the prisoner to term OF from two to
four years in the penitentiary.
A stay of execution was granted by
the trial Judge pending an application
before the Supreme Court for super
sedeas. The motion for writ of super
sedeas was argued two weeks ago and
taken under advisement. The chief ar
gument of the attorneys in seeking the
writ was that the trial court erred in
instructing the judge regarding the
question of the truth or falsity of the
report.
Chief Justice Gabbert Monday morn
ing announced to the clerk of the court
that the Justices had denied the appli-
cation, and that the attorneys were no
