CONCERTED MOVE FOR
AMERICAN SYMPATHY
Claims Made That Large Per
Cent of Army officers
Favor Change.

NEW YORK, April T.-Alexli Maxine
witch Peshkofr known all over the world
by his pen name of Gorky, Is expected to
arrive in this city next Tuesday from Bcr-
lin He Will probably be met at the pier
by Ivan Naroday and some of the other
Russian revolutionary leaders and Will
STAY at the revolutionary headquarters
hero According to Mr.. Narodnys Wfo Is
in this country as the representative OF
the military revolutionary party, Gorky is
coming TO New York as the official repre-
sentative OF the Russian Social Demo-
cratic party.
To Arouse sympathy.
With NJ Tohaimonsky. the representa-
tive Of the Russian social revolutionary
party, the three principal revolutionary
parties are represented in this country
and Will act In unison trying TO lnllu-
cnce American sympathy for tie reNo-
lutionnry movement
In the course OF an interview toodS MT.
Naroduy said;
Il do not bolievc mat Russia viii ever
be able to throw off the yoke except by
force Reasoning with the party In power
only brings us to prison. The military
party works among the army ana navy,
and we count that at least ~ per cent
OF the officers are In favor of oUI plans.
Why Revolution Failed.
The most severe blow the military
Lieut.. schmidt. Tho failure OF his enter
prise was entirely due 20 accident, When
he had made full preparations for the
revolt of the Black Sea lee-, he wrote
letters TO Cronstadt and Libau warning
the leaders of the movement among the
sailors to be ready, But ius., then the
nostal strike broke out. Tho leuCcrs In
hose two cities did not receive MS in
structions until many days later and the
sailors In the Black sea, who did not hear
from us lost heart and the whole move
mcnt ended sadly In tho c%ccutcn OF
schmidt who was undoubtedly the best
leader we had.
No Faith in Elections.
AS to the douma, Mr. Narodny declared
that he had very little trust In that lcgl5-
latlve body. THE elections he said
are almost entirely In the hands OF the
Government OF course. II has been stated
that the people might make up list of
candidates. but at the same time the Ia"
declared that persons indicted fer po-
ltlcal crime could not be candidates.
Whenever q person is made a candidate
for election by the people and he Is not
agreeable to the Government, II is very
easy matter 10 connect him with some po-
litical disturbance, and, according 10 the
law. he cannot be a legal candidate any
longer"
