TRIAL IS TO Be
WITHDOORSCLOSFD
Only the Verdict of the Tschai=
kovsky Hearing Will Be
Made Public

ST. PETERSBURG, March 5.-The
prefect of police today ordered that
the trial of Nicholas yasilievieh Tschai-
koysSy, the socialist charged with rev
olutionary activity, be held behind
closed doors.
The projects order was issued by
virtue of the regulations covering the
state of extraordinary security prevail
ing IN ST. Petersburg and under which
the administration is empowered to
overrule the court and close its doors
when such a course is deemed neces-
sary in the interest of public order.
In such instances the Russian news
papers are not permitted to publish the
proceedings of the trial, but only the
verdict.
The present is the first occasion upon
which the closure has been applied
in ST. Petersburg for a number of
years.
Upon the eve. of his trial NJ. Tschai-
kovsSy has issued a long statement
analyzing the accusations of the in
dictment
The principal new feature of the
statement is the allegation that the
English police furnished information
concerning Tschaikovsky's alleged visit
to Russia in the latter part of 1906,
and upon which the grayest accusations
were predicated

NINE CABINET MINISTER'S
FAIL TO PREVENT FRAUDS
Education Department of Italy
Badly Mismanaged

ROME, March 5.-Rarely has such a
severe Indictment been made against
any public body in Italy as that which
is contained in the official report of the
commission appointed to inquire into
the administration of the ministry Of
education from 1898 down to last year.
The Minerva" as it is called, has long
been the butt of Italian satirists, but
no satire is half SO eloquent as the
cold prose of the official report.
During the period under review there
were no fewer than nine mipisters of
education, including Signor Nasi, who
was impeached for malversation of
public moneys, and whose case drew
attention to the urgent need of a
searching investigation into the work
ing of his office. The official document
points out the lack of any and every
check on expenditure, which appeared
to be left wholly to accident" the man
ifest underestimate of the nations
artistic patrimony, the "doctoring" of
accounts (of which some strange ex
amples are given), and the general dis
order.
The accusations against various in
stitutes and some members of the
staff range from forgery to larceny,
from Justification of diplomas to fraud,
from cheating in the conduct of exam
nations to the expenditure of money
intended for the preservation of monu-
ments, upon mending the roads, and
from Irregularities in the payment of
the fees for admission to the galleries
down to passing of bad money on the
guileless foreign tourist
Many of these charges say the re-
port, were proved" In word, this
portion of the report reads more like
an account of Turkish officialdom un-
der the Hamidian regimes than a pic
ture of a civilized, modern and pro-
gressive kingdom such as Italy. The
document then goes on to describe the
expectation Of valuable pictures owing
to the carelessness of the officials, the
waste of money on the universities and
the petty malversations of even their
most exalted dignitaries.

HORN BLAST MISSED
AND STRIKE is RESULT
Irish Lace Workers Walk Out
When Signals Are Changed

BELFAST, March 5.-A curious sit
uation, almost Gilbertian in character.
has arisen at Portadown, one of the
chief centers of the Irish linen trade
outside of Belfast and 1t threatens to
lead to general strike of mill opera
tives.
A short time ago the linen mer-
chants agreed to adopt a suggestion
made by a local medical man on be-
half of the sick folk of the town to re-
duce the number of factory horns
blown for the purpose Of announcing
the time to the workers. According
to the arrangement entered into only
two horns were to be used from Mon
day last. one at each end of the town,
and all clocks were to be set by one
central authority.
The decision arrived at by the en-
ployers aroused considerable indigna-
tion among the workers, and the
operatives in the spinning mills re-
fused to resume work until the horn
was blown. The mill hands employed
in one of the largest factories in the
town struck work because the horn
was not blown at breakfast time
The workers in other factories will
be brought out if the horns are not
blown as formerly. The work people
are parading the town in groups. and
an extension of the movement is ex-
pected.

GERMANY AT MERCY
OF KRUPP MONOPOLY
Minister of Marine Makes This
Admission in Reichstag

BERLIN, March 5.-Admiral Won Tir-
pitt, minister of marine, in addressing
the reichstag on the naval estimates
today said that the system of loans for
warship building would cease in 1916.
after which any new ships would be
built from the product of taxation.
The question of the Krupp monopoly,
the marine minister said, had aroused
the greatest interest in the government,
which had made strong endeavors to
secure cheaper armor plate.
4 have even not hesitated," he de-
clared, Ito ask an American firm, the
Midvale, which at that time made armor

Owing to the rapid building of
German shipyards we would be un-
able to deliver the armor on time.
We would like, first, to deliver ma
teriai for trials which would meet
with the fullest requirement of the
most modern projections in armor
plates. and only submit our mate
rial for the criticism of the German
officers when we were prepared to
undertake the contract.
The marine minister said that all at

oily had failed, but he assured the house

Chancellor Won Hollweg
made a strikingly pacific speech on in
ternational relations. Replying to the
argument of Herr Sudekums, socialist.
that England was justified in the belief
that the German fleet was directed
against her, the chancellor said:
Our relations with England lie
clear, open, before everybody's eyes.
1t Is not necessary to repeat that
our fleet is not for aggressive pur-
poses. but for the protection of our
coasts and commerce. The limits OF
our naval program are known to
every one, with the dates for the
completion of the ships.
1t is our wish to cultivate friend
ly relations with England. l do not
see why the existing friendly rela-
tions should be disturbed between
Germany and England, with whom
we are SO closely connected, both
economically and in culture.
