Petrograd, Sept 13.--Premier Ke-
rensky and the provisional govern
ment have won the first victory OF the
| civil war
A thousand sharpshooters hurried
| from Petrograd, met the advance
forces of General korniloff's revolt
ing troops twenty-six miles from Pc
trograd and stopped their advance.
Tsarkoe Selo, where the car for
merly spent most of his time in his
summer palace, may be the scene Of
the big clash between General korni-
lofts rebels and the provisional gov
eminent troops
Word received here said the re-
voting forces are advancing rapidly
toward that point-twenty miles from
the city-and that clash is momen-
tarly expected there.
Press reports assert General Klem-
bosky, the newly named commander
in-chief of Russia's armies, has join
| ed korniloff in his revolt. No con-
| firmation was obtainable.
| 1t is understood Klembosky's for
NAL institution into his new duties
had been held up. Generals Denikine
and Valuyeff, Southwestern and West
ern front commanders, are reported to
| have thrown their lot with Koniloff.
General Denikine, commander of the
| Southwestern front, has been reported
! arrested by Kerensky's followers, as
also was General Erdelli former mill.
| tary governor Of Petrograd, for dis
obedience of orders.
Cossacks Aligned With korniloff.
The Don Cossacks apparently are
aligned with Korniloff.
| General Kaledin, head of this force,
reported to Premier Kerensky that
the provisional government would do
we'll to accept Korniloff's ultimatum
requiring surrender of governmental
powers, otherwise Petrograd would
find itself isolated from Moscow by
the cutting off of all rail communica-
| lions.
The workmen and soldiers coun-
Gil reported that the Kronstadt gar
rison had formally placed itself at
the disposal of this body.
Prompt action by the government,
| indicating drastic measures to put
down the revolt, coupled with news Of
| this achievement in checking the re-
VOTERS, created new optimism in Pc
| trograd.
| Great bodies of loyal government
troops are departing from the city
| almost hourly to oppose the rebels.
Government engineers have already
| practically destroyed Korniloif's
chances of using the railways for his
| advance
Premier Kerensky says that de-
| spite tightening of Korniloff's lines
around the city he hoped there would
| be no wholesale bloOdshed.
Chief anxiety among the public is in
the food situation in Petrograd. The
| capitals stock Of food Is known to
have been severely depleted recently.

THINK VOTE FAVORABLE.
Boston & Maine Mechanics May Not Go
on Strike. s~

Boston, Sept. l0.-Scattering returns
from the vote taken yesterday by three
thousand mechanics of the Boston and
Maine railroad on the proposition of end
| ing their strike on the terms agreed to
| by their representatives at conference
with railroad officials and the Massa-
chusetts committee on public safety
late last night, indicated that the plan
was received favorably.
Robert Fechner, chairman of the strik-
ers' committee said that all the returns
would not reach headquarters until this
morning and that they could not be tab
ulated and counted until noontime. If
the strikers accepted the proposition, the
men would go back to work at once, he
said.
The conference Saturday night was ar
ranged by Henry b. Endicott, executive
manager of the public safety committee.
Both sides in the controversy agreed that
wages of the men be raised five per cent,
the men to return to their shops at once.
The workers went on strike week ago
for eight cents an hour. Under the agree
ment the matter of the remaining three
cents will be submitted to Mr.. Endicott
as arbitrator.
Meetings of the strikers were held
yesterday in this city, Lowell Springfield,
Concord and Keene, n. H., and Lyndon
vile, VT, where the principal round
houses and shops of the system are To-
Gated

BARON LowEN DENIES IT.
That Dispatches in Cipher Had Beer
Sent to Berlin.

Buenos Aires, Sept. l0.-The Swedish
minister to Argentina, Baron Lowen
yesterday denied that dispatches in ci
pher had been sent to Berlin by the
German charge through the Swedish le'
CATION at Buenos Aires. He declared:
II have not sent, nor caused to be
sent by the legation under my charge
any telegram from the German legation
The news is great and disagreeable
surprise. | have cabled to my govern
ment to clear up matters.
'In the United States they are very
excitable.'
The official announcement issued by
the state department at Washington
that communications from Count Lux
burg, German charge at Buenos Aires,
had been sent to the Berlin foreign of
fee through the Swedish legation here
in cipher caused sensation and was the
principal topic of discussion throughout
the city. That the situation is consid-
cred serious was evidenced by the fact
that the populace, usually gay on Sun
day, were remarkably quiet and sober
faced. Dancing girls, waving Argentine
flags and bedecked. with American and
British flags, were greeted with silence
at the society matinee, after being wild

BULLET IN SPINE;
NAN WILL LIVE
Roy S. Blake, Private at Fort Ethan
Allen, Was Injured in Manner
Called Mysterious.

Burlington, Sept. l0.-Roy S. Blake
private in the Headquarters company Of
the I'd cavalry at Fort Ethan Allen, is
lying in the post hospital with bullet
from a 45.calibre revolver lodged near
his spial column.
Private Blake's injury was sustained
in a peculiar manner. Early last week
he was lying in his bunk, reposing on
his left side. His "bunkie' was handling
his 45-calibre revolver, standing at the
foot of Blake's bunk. Suddenly in some
inexplainable way. the revolver was dis
charged.
The bullet entered the outer side of
Blake's right leg in the feshy part just
above the knee, and tore up through the
leg and hip, lodging near the spine.
The man was at once removed to the
post hospital, and X-ray photographs
were later taken to locate the bullet.
The plates revealed the bullet as lodged
in the muscles close to the spinal col
umn, so imbedded in th1 muscles, it is
said, as not to cause any trouble, and it
is probable that no operation will be per-
formed to remove it.

Many of the 1000 members of the ma.

Gated that they came from all the New

MAN LAY BESIDE
ROAD nv SO. BARRE
Alexander ST. Cyr May Have Been Struck
By Automobile, as He Is Badly
Bruised.

Mystery in some small measure sur
rounds the case of Alexander st Cyr. a
carpenter and wheelwright, who is at
the City hospital receiving treatment for
multiple contusions about the face and
body. st. Cyr was found unconscious in
ditch along the Williamstown road
evening and very little that preceded his
removal to the hospital recurs to him.
Lester Burnham, an automobile salesman
from Lawrence, Mass, was hurrying
through the valley while on his way from
New Hampshire to st. Albans when he
saw the figure of a >man lying by the
roadside. He investigated, sought assist
ance from people living in South Barre,
and made arrangements for transferring
the man to hospital, after which he
came to Barre and notified the police.
An unknown automobile is believed to
have been responsible for st. Cyr's in
iuries. Cuts about the face and body in
dicate that he was struck by an auto
mobile while walking along the highway,
the patient himself can offer lit
tie evidence to substantiate this theory
II is said that he had been employed by
a man named Cutler in Williamstown
and was on his way home. The officers
believe that the motorist struck the
traveller with his ear and did not stop to
assist him.
st. Cyr's memory had not improved to-
lay, although physically he was on the
'oad to recovery and attaches at the hos
,ita did not expect him to remain there
lfter tonight. How long he remained
~ the roadside before Mr.. Burnham |
picked him up has not been aseertained.
The automobile salesman, after assuring !
himself that st. Cyr would be cared for,
allied on Officer David Henderson at po
ice headquarters, told him the circum
tances, and left an address where he
nay be reached if his services are needed
n an investigation.

BOTH SIDES FEEL
CONFIDENT nv MAINE
Woman's Suffrage Amendment Is Being
Voted On, as Well as Amendment
to Permit Governor to Re-
move Sheriffs.

Portland, Me-. Sept. l0.--The voters OF
Maine went to the polls at a special cleo
tion to-day to cast their ballots on the
question of ratifying constitutional
amendment for woman suffrage, submit
ted to the people by the last legislature.
The Maine Equal Suffrage league and
Suffrage Referendum league have con
Quoted an active campaign for the amend
ment. The opposing forces have been led
by the Maine Association Opposed to
Suffrage. Both sides were confident of
victory.
A light vote was expected because of
the lack of political contest and be-
cause of the fact that the farmers were
busy harvesting their crops. There was
considerable interest, however, in the
amendment empowering the governor to
remove sheriffs for failure to enforce the
prohibition laws which also was being
voted upon.

| hill, and crashed into the trees and un'
derbrush below. Mr.. Fuller's chest was
crushed and he suffered other injuries
dying instantly.
The car, which William Mcdonald, also

ceedinc slowly down the so-called Barton
Works hill, with Mrs. May Mcdonald,
mother OF the driver of the machine, Miss

gers, when the automobile slid TO the left
hand side of the road on the wet pave
ment, crashed through the fence and

other occupants of the car were saved by
the top, which held the great weight of
the vehicle from their bodies. Mr. Fuller

machine.
About half an hour before the accident
which caused Mr.. Fuller's death an auto
mobile driven by j. B Vignault of Lyn-
donville, who, with his wife and four
other persons. were passengers in the ma
chine, skidded on the wet psvements but
a short distance from the scene of the

Petrograd, Sept. 0.-Authoritative
statement issued here dealing with the
loss of Riga say that although competent
military authorities do not consider Pet
rograd endangered, yet the approach of
the war zone to the capital necessitates
decisive measures for the government of
the city. Therefore, new administra-
tion will be formed
NJ. Nikitine, minister of posts and tele-
graphs, who has been charged by the gov
ernment with the task of partially evac-
uating the capital, in a statement ex-
plains that the partial evacuation is due
TO the problem of the food supply rather
than to any military menace. The only
results of the German advance, he says,
is further to complicate the food ques-
tion. He advises that section of the pop
ulation not engaged in business to leave
the city in patches, and promises every
facility for their departure
II is said that majority of the min
listers are against removing the govern
ment into the interior, first because they
do not consider the capital in danger,
and, second, because this might cause an
unreasonable panic In any case, it is
said the government will take no steps
for six weeks
