letariat leaders, who have been pre-
pairing for months for blow, believe
the moment has come to strike. The
agrarian troubles now are sufficiently
extended and disorders in the army
are rife. The government has openly
refused to accede to the demands of
parliament, and a rupture is imminent
there
The ultimate plans of the leaders de-
pend upon the success achieved, but
if the government is brought down it
is not doubted they have determined
that they and not parliament shall
take over the reins of government and
forever enjoy the fruits of victory.
The strikes in st. Petersburg and
Moscow, with which the movement
was started, while based ostensibly on
economic grounds, really are political.
The committee of unemployed is only
a revolutionary organization, like last
falls committee of workmen, in dis
guise. The bakers of st. Petersburg
and adjoining towns struck today and
only the black bread eaten by the
poor was sold.
The streets were filled with crowds
of workmen.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press was stopped today in one of the
demanded money without the slight
est embarrassment. He announced
that those who had money might as
we'll divide it as the workmen soon
would be ALE to take what they want
ed.
A monster meeting of $4,000 social
democrats and workmen held this aft
ernoon at Terioki, Finland, was ad-
dressed by members of the group of
toll of parliament, and every revolu-
tionary utterance was frantically ap-
plauded.
The government appears to be wait
ing for the blow to fall before raising
its hand. and it is reported that the
design Of several ministers TO raise the
question of more active policy dur
ing the cabinet meeting yesterday was
apparently fruitless. Heavy patrols
have been placed in the streets and
the railroad stations are occupied by
troops, but no action has been taken
to stop the agitation. The emperor is
reported to be spending most of his
time playing tennis at Peterhof.
It is significant as indicating the
progress of the revolutionary senti-
ment that general strike is expected
to be inaugurated on the Nicholas rail-
road between st. Petersburg and Mos
COW, which was the only line out of
Moscow that was not affected during
the uprising last December.
The workmen in the shops of the
Syrian & Viasma railroad have al
ready struck, but apparently the dem
onstration is premature.
The Reich today again appeals to
the emperor to try to save the situa-
ton by Diminishing Premier Goremykin
and placing members of parliament
who enjoy a measure of public conf
dence in possession of the government.
Admiral Alexieff, in command of the
fortress at Cronstadt, has received
grim warning in the shape of coffin,
which was delivered at his house.

OFFICIAL REPREMAND
To Weather Bureau Chief for d Mis-
take on His Part.

Washington, NOV. 7-PrrSident
Roosevelt has directed that a repre-
mand be addressed To Willis l.. Moore.
chief of the weather bureau. for his ac-
tinn in the case of a printer named
Cooper in his office. who had been ex-
ptllel from the Typographical Union
for not paying his strike assessments.
Nj. Moore. il is alleged. urged Cooper
to pay his assessments, but the latter
refused ana was expelled from the
union. Following this Cooper was
transferred To New Orleans. He
charged that this action On the part
Of Mr.. Moore was intended us i pun
iShmcnt for his not complying with the
demands Of the union. The matter was
referred to the chief OF tic civil service
commission. which, without reporting
OH the question Of whether or not
CoOpers transfer was intended as a
punishment, held that Mr.. MoOres ac-
tion in urging the payment Of the strike
assessment was improper. Under the
circumstances. the commission eX-
pressed the opinion that the Cooper
transfer would not be for the good Of
the service, as this would give the inn
preston that it waa,intended as pun
ishment.
Cooper, accordingly. will be reinstated
in his former position in the weather
bureau in Washington and the repri-
mand to Mir. Moore will. ut the dircc-
ton of the President. he administered

STEAMER MISSING.
The Finn Is Overdue at Sydney, N. S.
ard Anxiety Is Felt.

Sydney, y. s. Nov. 7.-Thorc is much
anxiety here over the steamer Finn and
it is feared She met with som" disaster
in the recent hurricane. The Finn was
coming down from Montreal light and
should have reached sydney on Sunday
or Monday at the latest. but not q
word about her has been received by
anyone here although the Dominion
Coal Co. has been wiring to all points
where news might be obtained. The last
tiGingS received were brought by Cant.
BondriG of the steamer Universe, who
says he saw the Finn Sunday.
The Universe had a narrow escape
from going ashore on some Of the is
lands in the Magdalcn group as run
ming light she made great lceway. For
time it looked as if she would go
asher" on Brian island. but Fortunate
~ the steamer passed between Bryan
island and Bird rock. While the Uni
verse was still in danger the Finn was
sighted in the same prcdicament and
making equally bad weather and Capt.
BonGvig fears that the Finn may have
gene on the rocks. The st. Andrews ar
rived in port from Montreal this after
noon. but saw nothing of the coal boat
overdue.
The Finn was a brandneW boat. this
being her first season. She was cam
manded by Capt. Olsen ana carried 80
men. Her displacement was 2473 tons.
The coal company officials, while they
profess not to be alarmed, are never
theless making diliSent inquiries and
if tho missing collier does not show up
tomorrow tugs will likely be sent out
