President Bent on Proper Conduct of
 Government PrIntery.
 Washington, Aug B. W. A. Miller, assistant foreman of bindery of the government printing office, who was suspended by the public printer on July 2t for insubordination and insolence, was dismissed from the government service yesterday. Miller's former sus- pension, in 1903, was the cause of Presi- dent Roosevelt's order declaring the government printing office and all of fees where workmen are employed by the government, to be open shops.
 The public printer also dismissed Milo Shanks, foreman of the second typesetting division. The case of Shanks furnished the president anoth- CT opportunity to again express himself regarding the conduct of the govern ment printery. Shanks had complained to the president that he had not receiv- ed fair treatment and Secretary Loeb wrote MT. Stillings that inasmuch as he is charged with the administrative de- tail of the office, the president would not interfere with him in his efforts to put the government printing office on an economical and efficient basis ar in securing proper discipline among the employees. What the president ex- poets" says Secretary Loeb, is results and he will hold you responsible thefe- for: In the obtaining of the results you will pAS hs interfered with"

GENERAL STRIKE IS
 ASSORTED TO IN RUSSIA
TWENTY THOUSAND WORKMEN IN sT. PETERSBURG OBEY
 THE CALL.

City in Darkness Until an Early Hour
 This MOrning-WOrhmen's Council
 to Extend Strike to Moscow To-day
 and Gradually Bring in the Industrial
 Centers of the Empire--Fate of the
 Stolypin Cabinet Sways In the Ball.
 nnce--First Step Toward Military
 Dictatorship May be Taken Sunday
 or Monday.
 St. Petersburg, Aug. 4.-2:45 a. m.-- St. Petersburg was In darkness last night and this morning (Saturday) up to an early hour when the electric light service was restored by sailors of the technical corps. The employees of the electrical lighting plants, always the earliest barometric record of political conditions, ceased work during the aft ernoon in obedience to the call for 8 general strike. This call already has been pbeyed by 1000 factory hands in the capital. It will be impossible, how, ever, to predict the success of this uni- versal political strike until Monday, as the workrnen in St. Petersburg and the provinces have two holidays, Saturday, which is the fete of the day of the dowager empress, and a great religious feast, and their regular holiday of Sun day. It Is intended by the leaders of the workmen's council to extend the strike to Moscow tomorrow, and grad ually to bring In thS industrial centers of the empire.
 The only other available index of the situation is the railroads. Up to 2 o'clock this morning the railroad men had not needed the Iall for a general strike, except in the case of an insig4 nificant bobtail line running to Sestro- retzk and other shore resorts In the vi- cinity of St, Petersburg. The men of this road barricaded the line with the result that they had an unimportant collision with Cossacks last night.
 Tn the meantime the fate of the stol- ypin cabinet sways in the balance, and Russia is upon the verge of disorders which may lead either to the reign of the military or the proletarlat. It can be stated definitely that the first step toward a dictatorship may be taken Sunday or Monday by the nomination of Grand Duke Nicholas to the chief command of all the troops in Russia. This would virtually place him in con- trol of all the disturbed districts of the empire where martial law has been pro- claimed.
 This matter was a subject of earnest discussion during the interview between the emperor and Premier stolypin yes terday, from which the premier return ed in a greatly vexed state of mind. The revolutions at Sveaborg and Cron- stadt and the mutiny on board the cruiser Pamyat Azova gave the tone to the conversation between his majesty and the premier These events. al though they have ended fortunately, apparently have left a strong impress sion upon the mind of the emperor The Associated Press has been informed from high source that the nomination of Grand Duke Nicholas to the post of commander-in-chief, if made, will be announced as flor the purpose of har- monizing the activity of all troops without reference to political affairs, ' but Premier stolypin is scarcely dis
