TO REBELS.

st. Petersburg, Oct. %. William
English Walling of Indianapolis, Ind,
his wife and his sister-in-law, Miss
Rose Transgy, were arrested in this
city last night by a force of ~gendarmes
because of their association with sew
eral members of the Finnish Progress
sive party. A representative OF the
American embassy appeared at the
headquarters in their behalf, but he
can take no action until to-day.
Is Wealthy Socialist.
Mr.. Walling is a wealthy socialist.
He is a grandson of the late William
H. English, who was a vice presiden-
tial candidate in 1880, when Gen. Han
cock ran for the American presidency.
For several years Mr.. Walling has
taken an active interest in the Rus
sian struggle, and this is the third
time he has visited Russia.
The Firms with whom the Wallings
have been associated were arrested.
Books and Papers Seized.
The arrest took place at the Hotel
de France, one of the leading hostel
ries of this city. The rooms of the
Walling party and the Firms were
thoroughly searched, and the gen
darmes took possession Of a large
quantity Of books and documentary
material.

He is accused by the police of furnish
ing financial aid to the revolution,
though this charge is not the founda-
ton of his arrest.
Another American Wanted.
1t was impossible to learn last night
what the charge was against the
Firms. This will determine the accu-
sation against Mr.. Walling, but a
member of the secret service who &C
companied the gendarmes who made
the arrest said the order of arrest had
originated in his section and that the
secret service had been shadowing
Mr.. Walling constantly for two years
past.
The police have been instructed to
look also for James NJ. James, a New
York newspaper man who has been
over here for a New York weekly and
several socialist papers.
