RUSSIA WILL USE
 FIRM HAND TODAY
ExCESSES ARE FEARED ON THIS ANNIVERSARY OF THE MANI FESTO GRANTING CONSTlTU- TON.

St. Petersburg. October 29.-Although the surface indications are reassuring and there is little probability of an out break of disorders, still there is consid- erable anxiety among the authorities that the public celebration tomorrow of the publication of the imperial manifesto giv- ing a constitution to Russia may be marked by rloting and bloodshed.
 Military and police precautions equal ling, if not exceeding those of year ago. have been taken. The population has been warned that armed force will be used re- lentlessly to preserve order. Danger is apprehended less from the radical revolu- tionists than from the reactionary "Black Hundred" clements, who are de- termlned to convert this anniversary into an ultra loyal demonstration.
 The anmosity of the "Black Hundreds' toward the liberals and particularly to- ward the Jews, students and the intel lectual clements has been famed by a series of provocative proclamations which have been circulated in large quantities for a fortnight past. The circulation of these proclamatlons is charged openly to the park Force' of the police whose complicity in the organization of anti Jewish excesses has been exposed recent ly by ex-Drector Chief Lopucin and the former vice minister of the interior, Prince Ourousoff It is said that work men today captured several agents of the secret police upon whom literature pro- voking such excesses was found. The editors of the Rech claim to possess trust worthy information that Black Hun dred' bands are actually afoot and bid ing their opportunity in the more ob- scure quarters of St. Petersburg.
 All the schools of the capital will be closed tomorrow.
 Preparations similar to those taken here are being made throughout the country.

Dynamite Blast Gives Signal for
 Gold Seekers
MANY VIOLATED THE RULES
Best Claims Were Taken Durinq Nqhi and the Whole Opening May Yet Be Declared
 Invalid.

Thorne, Nev.. October 29.-With the firing of a mighty blast of dynamite from the top of Grant Peak, the highest point in the adjacent mountains the Walter Lake Indian reservation was opened at noon today.
 At the given signal hundreds of search CTS for gold hurried helter skelter over the boundary lines of plain and mountain and before the great cloud of smoke which rose into the air from the dyna- mite explosion had drifted away, a spec tacular race of automobiles. race horses and vehicles was on. So great was the rush across the desert from the line near est Hawthorne, that number of per sons narrowly escaped being trampled over, and in numerous instances injuries were reported.
 Many Had Hard Trips.
 Horses were ridden until they dropped. and automobiles became stalled in the deep sands. Jaded and overcome by thirst numbers of prospectors barely summoned enough strength to make their loca~ tons.
 Those who had waited for the signal from the top of Mount Grant before rush. ing into the reservation. found that all the most valuable claims in the vicinity of the rich Dutchmans Cottonwood and numerous other creeks emptying into the southwestern section of Walker Lake, had been taken up by men who had rushed the night before. contrary to law. Even men who employed launches to take them across Walker Lake from the f.I., | of no avail, as they were much too late to be on equal footing with the men who had disregarded the law.
 Many Violated Rules.
 The opening of the reservation was not 1 as iinposins. as t promised 10 De, on ae- count of the fact that countless numbers of miners had flocked in during the night and early morning. completely over- whelming the Indian police, of whom l there was but fourteen to guard seventy | five miles of territory.
 1 Special Land Agent Parks deplores the l fact that the rush was allowed to take 1 place when it was known that the laws 1 of the United States in regard to opening | a reservation had been eyaded. He says there is yet a possibility that the present opening may be declared invalid and a new one called for.
 Sub Indian Agent Robert Lovegrove de- | clared today that United States engineers l sent here to carry out reclaimation work on a portion of the Walker Lake land l reservation that has been allotted to the | Indians had occupied their time in plae- l ing launches on the edge of Walker lake | for the purpose of participating in the I rush. contrary to the law, which states that all persons shall keep off a reser- I vation until the time fixed for it's open 1 ing.
