Petrograd, Sept. 10.-Premer ker-
ensky has ordered Gen. korniloff,
communicative chief, to resign in con-
sequence of Gen. Korniloff's demand
for supreme power. Gen. klemDovs-
ky has been appointed commander-in-
chief.
Premier Kerensky has declared
that state of war exists in the town
and district of Petrograd.
Concerning the details and devel-
opments of korniloff's rebellion the
ministers of the provisional govern
ment refuse to make public the de-
tails, but the Associated Press from
fragmentary sources, has been able to
collect the main facts.
At l o'clock Saturday afternoon af-
ter Premier kerensky had inspected
deputation of Russian soldiers from
the Balkans. Deputy Lvoff called him
by telephone and demanded an inter-
view. declaring his mission was of
great Importance.
Korniloff's Demands.
NJ. Kerensky at first refused to re-
ceive NJ. Lvoff, but later in the after
noon did receive him, whereupon
Lvoff declared that he had come as
Gen. Korniloff's plenipotentiary in
order to demand the surrender of all
power into Korniloff's hands. NJ.
Lvoff said that this demand did not
emanate from Korniloff only, but
was supported by group of po-
litical workers." meaning an organ
ization of Duma members, Moscow in
dustrial interests and other Conser-
vatives, which had played the role of
opposition at the national confer
ence at Moscow.
This group, said NJ. Lvoff, did not
object to Kerensky personally, but de-
manded that he transfer the port
folio of war to NJ. Savinkoff, assist
ant minister of war, who all along
had supported Korniloff's demands.
NJ. Lvoff added:
''If you agree, we invite you to
come to headquarters to meet Gen.
Korniloff, giving you solemn guar
antee that you will not be arrested"
Kerensky Amazed.
Premier Kerensky replied that he
was amazed and declared korniloff's
ultimatum an act of effronteTy and
treason so incredible that he was un-
able to believe his ears. Therefore.
he resolved first to communicate with
Gen. Korniloff direct. In an exchange
of telegrams Gen. Korniloff confirmed
fully his demands.
M. Kerensky then told Lvoff the
provisional government would not
consent to such demands and would
take every possible step to crush
Korniloff's criminal conspiracy. Lvoff
then was placed under arrest and
subjected to a severe examination,
during which he gave the details OF
the conspiracy and the names of the
prominent men involved.
Plans to Crush Revolt.
The Cabinet late in the evening
held a session to consider plans to
crush the revolt, which measures have
so far been kept secret with the ex-
ception of the announcement of the
proposed creation of a directory or
other system of concentrated govern
ment capable of acting swiftly and
decisively. For this board Premier
Kerensky proposed six names. In
the meantime, the ministers declared
they would retain Office, NJ. Piesche-
honoff. the minister of supplies, pro-
visionally withdrawing his resigna-

Spelling the Tobacco.

Winchcombe st. Peter, in Gloucester
shire, began the cultivation of tobacco
In England toward the end Of the six
teenth century, and the Inhabitants are
said to have derived considerable profit
from it until the trade was placed un-
der restrictions. An entry in Pepys'
Diary on Sept. 10, 1867, concerning the
coming of cousin of his to town pro-
ceeds: 'She tells me how the life guard
which we thought little while since
was sent down into the country about
some instruction was sent to Winch
combe to spoil the tobacco there, which,
1t seems, the people there do plant con-
trary to law and have always done
and still been under force and danger
of having it spoiled, as it hath been
oftentimes, and yet they will continue
to plant it. The place. she says, is a
miserable poor place" London Globe.

Accepting the Inevitable.

A man is known By the manner In
which he accepts the inevitable. The
wisest and happiest man is the one
who looks into the future and discerns
the inevitable TT the greatest distance.
Such q man then goes out, meets the
inevitable at least halfway. slaps it on
the back, takes it by the hand, en-
yelops it with his aura aud asks it to
stay to lunch.
The miserable Of earth are those who
are continually trying TO dodge the in
evitable. Perhaps they shut their eyes
when they hear that 1t is expected, or
oftentimes. they jump into bed and pull
the clothes'eyer their heads. The mad
houses are full of people who have
quarreled with the Inevitable so much
that neither polite society nor impolite
will have anything more to do with
them. Some of them will not admit
that there is such thing as an inevita-
BILE even after it has come and gone.
The first lesson parents should teach
their children is that whenever any
one wants to give them the inevitable
they should accept it instanter.-Life.

Pr;sosers of Parliament.

Few people are aware that the
houses OF parliament have their own
prison. Yet situated high UP in the
clock tower is the II. P.'s prison. con
sisting of four bedrooms and two sit
ting rooms.
The honora BILE member who has been
Gishonored by imprisonment for
breach Of parliamentary etiquette does
not have very hard life In ST.
Stephens prison. The prisoners meals
arc sent up to him from the house Of
commons kitchens, and he can choose
whatever dishes he likes from the or
binary menu. Unlike an ordinary pris-
cner, he receives the bill for his meals
from the catering authorities.
Perhaps the best remembered occr-
pant of parliament's prison was Mr..
Bradlaugh, who was sentenced by the
speaker to imprisonment in the clock
tower for refusing to withdraw when
requested so to Go.
