St. Petersburg, Nov. 12.-Around

gathered a most formidable body Of
police. The men forming it-there

of soldiery in guarding the palace.
One hundred of the men form spe-

This new department has been Sc

FACES A TERRIBLE FATE.
Enton1bed Miner Awaiting Certain
Death by Starvation.

Mahonoy City, Pa, Nov. 12.-Alive
and unhurt, but in darkness that will
never be lifted, Michael McCabe, a
miner, is awaiting certain death by
starvation 800 feet below the sur
face of the earth in the Draper col
liery near here.
While McCabe was at work he fired
blast that blew away one Of the
mine pillars. He fed in the wrong
direction and got into a blind shaft.
A fellow workman managed to get out
Of the wing Of the colliery before the
roof caved in.
The mine breach extends to the
surface, where it yawns sixty feet
wide, right in front Of McCabe's
home, where his wife and six chill
dren vainly hope for his rescue.
Mine officials say it may be year
before it will be possible to reach the
place where the man is shut up.

DOOM OF THE SKYsCRAPER
Drastic Legislation Proposed in New
York CITY.

New York, Nov. 12.-The doom Of
the modern skyscraper has probably
been sounded in this city by drastic
regulations which have been adopted
unanimously by the building code
commission. These regulations pro-
vide that after Jan. next no new
buildings shall be over $50 feet in
height. The new law is aimed to
stop the feverish race for the con-
struction of high buildings. That a
limit must be fixed somewhere has
been the advice of noted fire under
writing experts and Fire Chief Croker
himself has sounded the warning
The fire insurance interests have fear
ed that the forty one-story Singer
building might be followed next by
a ifty-story structure.
That the new regulation will be
passed by the board of estimate and
the aldermen before it finally becomes
law is regarded as likely.

New York, Nov. 12.-The mystery
surrounding the tragedy which result
ed in the death of John Bjorlin and
the possibly fatal shooting of Paul G.,
Thebaud, Jr., the seventeen-year-old
son Of the millionaire broker, may
never be cleared. That Bjorlin, who

tragedy occurred, shot his employers

then killed himself is apparent. Alb
solutely nothing as to what led to
the act, however, has yet been
learned. The only person who may
be able to throw any light on the
case is young Thebaud and It is not
at all certain that he ever will re-
cover consciousness.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-The board of
education has won a victory in it's
fight against the existence of secret
societies in the high schools. The
board some time ago took action
against these organizations, declar-
ing them prejudicial to the Interests
of the schools. Some of the mem
bers of the societies sought an in
junction preventing the board from
proceeding against the societies. The
appellate court dismissed the suit for
the Injunction, declaring the societies
to be something apart from the edu-
cational scope of the schools and that
it was within the jurisdiction of the
board to proceed against them if it
desired to do so.
