To CALL OFF
THE STRIKE
The Russian Strike Has
FizzIed Out.
TINE WAS ILL ADVISED
1T is ANNOUNCED THE cc,INciL
WILL TAKE OFFICIAL ACTION
TONIGHT AND END THE FIAS-
co-MANY UNIONS REFUSED
TO JOIN THE MOVEMENT.

st. Petersburg, Aug. THE work
mems council has decided to call off
the strike in st. Petersburg. The an
nouncement will be issued tonight or
tomorrow.
This action does not apply to the
provinces, but there is little doubt that
the workmen there will follow st. Pet
ersburg's example.
More than half of the factories here
resumed work this morning and while
the employees of some of the establish
ments at Moscow are still out, none of
the predictions of extreme parties who
organized the strike movement were
fulfilled
Many of the trades unions totally
refused to join in it.
The railroad men, whose co-opera-
tion was vital, could not be induced to
give the signal for the strike. owing
to the fear that majority of the men
would not obey and there was no sign
of a serious peasant movement.
While repressions and the arrests of
the leaders undoubtedly were a great
factor in bringing about the present
situation it is apparent that the mo-
ment was ill-chosen for the strike.

COWARDLY CAPTAIN
COMMANDER OF THE sIRlo WAS
YELLOW.
He Abandoned His Ship and Thought
Only of His Own safety-Passeneers
and Crew Fought for Boats and Life
Belts.

Madrid, Aug. 7.-According to the
statements of some of the survivors
of the lost Italian steamer Sirio, the
captain of the vessel came from his
cabin Immediately following the first
shock hesitated whether to go to the
bow or stern and mount the bridge
and then turned and jumped into a
lifeboat, crying everyone for himself" ;"
Thereupon began a terrible scene of
confusion among the passengers who
engaged in a fierce struggle for the
possession of boats and life belts. The
crew with knives between their teeth
and officers with revolyers in their
hands saved themselves.

A Day Earlier.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 7.-Grand
Army encampment committee workers
were given a surprise when it was an
nounced that the railroads in the
Western Passenger association have
extended the time of reduced rate
tickets from Aug. IL to Aug. 10, thus
allowing the visitors to reach the city
one day earlier than had been expected
and materially altering the committee's
plans.
The railroads have evidently decided
that such big crowds are coming from
the territory within their district that
they will need more than three days
to handle all their extra traffic For
that reason they win begin the sale
.of cut rate tickets on Friday and con-
tinue until Tuesday, Aug. 49,

HEIRS TO GET MONEY.
A. o. U. w. Insurance Held Up BY
SquabbIe Between Guardians.

Grand Forks, N. d., Aug. CLERK
of court M. w. Spaulding mas at last
got some intimation as to what he
is to do with $4,000 which he has
had in his custody for something
more than year and half, awaiting
a legal decision as to who 1t should
be paid to.
Jacob Lindal, a former resident of
Milton, this state, moved to the state
| of Washington several years ago,
where he died. He carried policy of
$4,000 in the Ancient Order United
Workmen, the insurance being made
payable to his two children, Jacob A.
S. Lindal and Sophia G. G. Lindal.
After the death of the insured James
Sigurdson was appointed guardian of
the boy in the state of Washington.
1t appeared that the children lived in
Wyoming, and e. e. Quick was ap-
pointed guardian pf both son and
daughter in that state. The Wash
ingtOn guardian started suit against
the Ancient Order United Workmen,
and the Wyoming guardian interven-
ed. Judge Fisk has decided the case
by giving both son and daughter a
judgment Of $1,000 each, and taxing
the costs of the action, which has
been in court more than a year,
against James A. Sigurdson, the
Washington guardian, 1t being held
that he was never the legal guardian
'of the son. The A. o. u. w. stood
ready to pay the amount as soon as
1t was determined to whom 1t should
be paid and the amount was paid
into court as soon as the proof Of
death was fled.

ISSUED A STATEMENT
Russian Government Explains Failure
| to Secure a Cabinet.

st. Petersburg, Aug. I'm view Of
the various statements which have ap-
peared in foreign newspapers concern
ing the refusal of several eminent per-
sons to enter the Stolypin cabinet. the
following semi-oaicial communication
was made public tonight:
After the dissolution of the lower
house Of parliament and the issuance
Of the imperial manifesto announcing
the desire Of the emperor to effect re-
forms. the government thought it nat
ural TO offer the vacant ministerial
posts to politicians who had placed
the accomplishment Of legal reforms
upon their progress, and the govern
ment once more regarded an effective
cabinet, and the execution of the po-
lttical programme 1t had undertaken,
as assured.
This combination, however, en-
countered obstacles beyond the con-
troll Of either the government or the
politicians. The latter wished to form
a group which would be entitled to
enter the cabinet. but they were not
able to succeed Prince Nicholas I.y-
off and Alexander J. Guchk0ff had q
long audience with the emperor. but
~ was announced that from the view
point OF the peaceful realization of the
reforms they were Of greater service
In their usual sphere Of activity, which
required the mobilization Of all sober
social forces.
Regarding the intentions Of the
government, these remain unchanged.
and include the restoration OF order
with firmness and energy. The gov
ernment will Immediately effect, with
in the limits OF the law. those prudent
reforms which must lead Russian life
into lawful paths"
