IHE NORKMEN WEAKENED.
Decided to Call Off General Strike at St. Petersburg for the
 Present.
PROVINCES EXPECTED TO FOLLOW SUIT
None of the Predictions of the Extremists Who Organized the Movement Were Fulfilled - Government Kejoices over It's Victory Railroad Men Refused to Co-operate-The situation at Moscow.

St. Petersburg, Aug. S.-The work mems council has decided to call oH the strike in St. Petersburg. The an nouncement win be issued Tuesday night or Wednesday. This action does not apply to the provinces but there is little doubt that the workmen there will follow St. Petcrsburgs example.
 More than half of the factories hero resumed work Tuesday morning and while the employees of some or the establishments at Moscow are stlil out. none of the predictions of the ex- irene parties who organized the strike movement were fulfilled. Many or the trades unions totally refused to join in it. the railroad men, whose CO., operation was vital. could not be in- dnced to give the signal for strike owing to fear that a majority Of the men would not obey and there was sign of a serious peasant movement. While the reprsssions and arrests or the leaders undoubtedly were a great factor in bringing about the present situation, 1t is apparent that the moment was III chosen for a strike. The people were not In the temper 10 support it As q consequence the re- yontionary leaders who really m spired it with the intention or trans forming the movement into an armed uprising. have suffered a severe loss of prestige and the proletariat organ izations through which they worked have been so weakened in the eyes oI ihe masses that 1t is probable they will not quickly recover
 The government had prepared Tor inc worst holding military trans m readiness at all the centers and had even made arrangements 10 send out the foreign mails by torpedo boats from St. Petersburg, naturally IS greatly rejoiced over it's victory. Nothing more than local echoes oi all this feverish activity of the revoiu- tionary and proletariat leaders, ~iih possibly a more active state of terror | ism is expected in the immediate | future.
 
 Moscow, Aug S.--Seyeral red tag demonstrations were broken up Mon i day night by dragoons, but the ci1S generally is quiet.
 The central committee of the raii' roadmen's unions has refused to co operate in the strike which is collaps I ing Many of the factories here are resuming work and the electric plan again in operation. The strih' organizers lay much of the blame fol the situation to the social revolution ists who favor deferring the strik' until autumn.

JOINED BY DOG IN OCEAN GRAVE.
Collie Leaps Overheard After Little
Playmate's Body at Sea.

A pathetic incident OF dog devotion
was related by officers OF the steam
snip Columbia. just in from Glasgow.
Among the passengers were Andrew
Macdonald and his wife, who left
Glasgow accompanied by their four
year-old daughter Mary. The child
was i'll, and an ocean voyage had been
recommended by her physician. Be
fore sailing Mary insisted that her pet
colies, Daisy and Ben, be taken along.
On Tuesday the child became worse.
and early Wednesday morning she
died. The ships stewards say that
the dogs seemed to know that some
thing was wrong with their little mis-
tress, for they howled dismally after
her death, and tugged at the chains
holding them in their quarters below
deck
Shortly after daybreak it was de-
cidcd 10 bury the child's body. The
tiny corpse was brought on deck, and
while a few passengers and ships
officers stood by bareheaded, il was
showed over the rail. Because of the
child's love for Daisy and Ben, the
pets were brought on deck while the
burial service was read. AS the small
burden was dropped from the rail
Daisy broke loose and leaped after
the body Of her playmate. Ben strain
ed at his strap and howled SO franti-
cally that he had 10 be dragged be-
low.
When last seen the fanthful' collie
was swimming in circles over the spot
where little Mary's body had sunk

Fancy Yoke Waist.

favorite Of fashion, not alone for mus

tionally charming and is trimmed with
lace insertion that is applied after a
quite novel and most effective manner,
while it allows choice of the favorite

combined with Il yoke OF tucking and
