Day before yesterday The Times
printed an appeal addressed to the
directors of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company asking them
to meet and consider the strike con-
ditions here and allow the public to
know what their attitude was.
Today the District Commissioners
have addressed letter to the same
body of men asking them to meet
the Commissioners and discuss the
situation with a view to considering
methods and means of ending the
present intolerable conditions.
1t is to be expected that the Com
missioners will receive a prompt &C
ceptance of their invitation and the
prospective meeting should and we
hope will be productive of much to
be desired results.
There is ground for hope that the
discomforts, delays, and dangers OF
the past week are nearing an end.

AT 1T AGAIN

Stacker Bill Stone. temporarily re-
habilitated by appointment to his
former position as chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Relations,
shows anew the infinite capacity for
misunderstanding which his position
confers upon him. Yesterday he in
PRODUCED a resolution asking the
Secretary of Commerce to furnish in
formation concerning the number and
character of ships that have changed
to American registry, the main point
of the resolution being "the name of
the nation under whose registration
and flag each of said vessels operated
prior to the application for United
States registration"
OF course, this is a cheap effort to
convince the American public that
Great Britain is skillfully plotting to
get the United States into war with
Stones beloved Germany, by putting
her vessels under the protection Of
the United States flag. During the
last month, Germany has revealed
herself as the murderer of American
women on the high seas, as the
piratical destroyer Of American ships
with utter disregard of the safety of
Americans on board, and as the i'm
stigator of plots against the welfare
of this country in Japan, in Mexico,
in Cuba, and throughout South
America. But Stones affection for
Germany as represented in his esti-
mate of the political strength Of the
German-American vote in Missouri
never waivers. To be pro-German is
to be anti-British. 1t is already
practically and will soon be officially
TO be anti-American also. The n.y.
phenated American has had some
sympathy. The anti-American may
soon find his real status defined in
weIl-known article of the Constitu-
ton of the United States.

The revolution had long been expected
here. Communication had been sus-
pended between Petrograd and London
since Monday.
Every confidence was expressed in
British Official circles that control by
the people means more active and more

Germany. 1t was believed that the new
order may perhaps be the very step
needed to turn the scale OF victory to

GUNS RIDDLE RUSS HOTEL
Fashionable Hosiery stormed When
Pro-eerman Opens Fire.

LONDON, March ia dispatch to
the Morning Post, dated Wednesday,
says:
Every weapon save only heavy ar
tillery has been freely used in Petro-
grad streets for four days past.
Rifles, revolvers, machine guns, and
armored motors-all have been used
and still in use.
''The military hotel. formerly the
Astoria Hotel, which lodged exclusive
ly officers from the front, their wives
and families, with the majority of Of
ficers present here as representatives
of the allies, was subjected to a heavy
fusilade from machine guns on ar
mored motors, entirely ss the result
of what was represented as provoca-
ton on the part of a pro-German resi-
dent, who fired upon the people from
the windows.
1.-THE daughter of the Russian Gem
eral Prince Tumanoff. who is now
commanding a cavalry division at the
front, was severely wounded in the
neck, and her rooms were ruined by
the fusilade. A mob OF armed men
soldiers, sailors, and civilians-thor-
oughly searched the Astoria, and dis
armed all the Russian officers. but
showed marked consideration for the
allied officers"

and private employees who depend
upon this train service for reaching
their work will have to make suit
able arrangements to solve their
problem.
The most pressing question would
be the food problem. The recent
rise in prices due to a temporary
period of freight congestion in Feb
ruary may give an inkling as to
what might happen with general
tie-up of the railroads. If that situa-
ton became serious, there might be
reached by concerted action a plan
to limit retail purchases, daily.
The season of the year will prob
ably prevent any great hardship on
account of coal shortage. As to
travel in general, all trips not re-
quired by actual necessity will have
to be postponed. With Congress not
in session, there may be peculiar diff
ficulties in meeting the situation
here, the Commissioners having no
legislative powers, as would be the
case in self-governing communities.
Still, there need be no panic. II
the worst comes to the worst, and
the President makes his appeal in
vain, the Executive of a nation on
the verge Of war should be able to
find some way out for all of US.

Russian Regents Career Romantic;

Michael Alternately in Favor
and Disgrace at Petro-
grad Court.

For the last ten years the name Of the
Grand Duke Michael. youngest and only
surviving brother Of the Car. and now
regent for the Czarevitch Alexis, has
meant only one thing to those who gos-
sip OF the lapses OF royalty. More and
varied scandal has been attached to him
than to any other member of the none
too chaste Romanoff family.
The man who will rule Russia until
the young Car becomes Of age has been
banished from the court at Petrograd
three times since 1903 because of the
publicity afforded his escapades. During
this time he has managed to worm his
way out Of the marriage arranged for
him with the Princess Patricia OF Con-
naught apd to entangle himself in two
other morganatic alliances, one OF
which still holds.
Much Resembles Father.
Besides the more serious adventures
he has been concerned in several other
more transitory ones, which got him
into the bad graces Of his elder and
royal brother.
Michael Alexandrovitch Is 80 years
old. He is more distinctly Russian in
build. character and manner than Mich
olas. Those who know the Gar Alex
ander have said that the son much re-
sembled the father.
In 1909 the marriage with the
Princess Pat" which had been ar
ranged in 1906. was broken off, much
to the discomfort OF Russian states

lance a tie which would bind the two
empires closer together
In Love with Officers Wife.
A love affair, in which the Grand
Duke participated, involved the wife
of a brother officer in the Cuirassier
Guard. The scandal which this
aroused forced the Gar into action.
The Grand Duke was relieved OF his
command and sent to command a line

aching heart with the affection OF one

1910 he married her. The Holy Synod
OF the Russian Church declared the
union null and void, and the Grand
Duke went to Orel.
Michael was then transferred to
PetrOgrad as commander OF the crack
Horse Guards OF the Empress until
1913, when another morganatic mar
riage, which he had contracted in
1911. came to light, and he was ban
ished again. At that, time he was also
accused of participation In the plot
by which the Czarevitch was SO mys-
teriously injured.

WILLIAM F. SHEEHAN

The death of William F. Sheehan
brings to mind the long contest for
a seat in the Senate between him and
Edward NJ. Shepard, six years ago.
Shepard was a man of singularly
elevated character and of notable
record in the public service. He was
supported by the decent elements of
the New York Democracy, as Shee-
han was supported by the worst.
Neither was able to secure a major
ity and a compromise was effected
which made O'Gorman Senator.
Shepard died SOON after his defeat.
Now the death of Sheehan only
makes patriotic Americans regret
that he was not elected instead of the
futile Fenian who has recently re-
tired without regrets from the Sen
ate.

AT FULL SPEED

Private builders have undertaken
the work of turning out in record
time four great battle cruisers and
six scout cruisers, with the promise
of keeping 20 per cent of their work
ing force on construction. The guar
antee of 10 per cent profit means the
turning aside from. the building Of
ships that bring a profit of so per
cent. The sum allowed for building
of hulls and machinery amounts to
$112,0O0,O00. When Uncle Sam does

difficult even for the imagination to

MAY AFFECT U. S.
Government Officials Anxious as to
Result Of Russian Revolution.


Russis's revolution directly touches
the future Of this nation, officials
held today.
II the revolu:ionists succeeds
they have to date-and can establish
a broad gauge, strong central govern
ment, that will mean a stronger war
against Germany. II, however, they
are slow and unable to meet the
titanic problems, Germany will roll up
a new offensive, strike hard at the
Slav, and perhaps force a separate
peace. Such an outcome doubtless
would have the effect of drawing this
nation nearer the war. As the revolu-
ton stands, il is a popular move,
aimed at the corrupt aristocracy.
These are the official views here.
The thing that troubled many Off
Gals here today was the recollection
that Russia found herself in revolu-
tion at a vital time during the Russo
japanese war. A military observer in
that struggle said that perhaps the
present revolution will have the same
effect.
"If Russia could have gone on, she
would have rolled the Japanese back
to Tokyo, I feel certain" he said.
"But the revolution prevented such a
victory"
Officials here foresee that Germany
will be more needless of whether or
not the United States is in the war,
should she triumnh over Russia

Nicholas a Man of Varied
Traits and Uncertain
Methods.

Nichols II, once 'Czar Of all Rus
sias," was born in Petrograd on May
10, 1868, and was the eldest son of
Alexander III and Maria Feodrovna
princess Dagmar, daughter Of Chris
tian TX of Denmark).
He received the ordinary education
Of Russian Grand Dukes, under the
direction Of General Danilovitch, as
sisted by Mr.. Pobieodnostseff and
other professors.
One of his tutors, who was a man
of European celebrity, described the
late Emperor during the time he was
under his care as "diligent, obedient,
conscientious, and painstaking, and,
moreover. singularly gifted. For,
while he showed that bright facility
or mobility OF intellect which char
acterizes his mother, he had all the
shrewdness and solid common sense
for which his father was distinguish
ed in the earlier days Of his reign.
A True Russian.
Perhaps there never was a ruler Of
any nation who was more sincerely
anxious to govern in harmony with
the traditions and spirit of his coun-
try, irrespective Of all personal bias,
than Nicholas II.
Like his father, Alexander III, he
was nowhere happier than in his fam
lily circle, and he was particularly at
tached to his sister, the Grand Ouch
ess Xenia, who was seven years
younger than himself.
In 1S90-1S91 he made a tour in
Greece, Egypt, Ceylon, and Japan,
where he narrowly escaped assassina-
ton at the hands of a Japanese fan
attic. On the return journey through
Siberia he stopped at vladivostock
and turned the first sod Of the eastern
section OF the Siberian railway, and
two years afterward, 1898, he was
appointed president of the imperial
committee for that great undertaking.
CEarina n German.
By the death OF his father on No
vember 1, 1894, he became Tsar, and
twenty-five days later he married
Princess Alix of Hesse, grand
daughter Of the late Queen Victoria,
to whom he had been betrothed in the
presence of his father in the latter's
last illness.
Those who know Nicholas best have
characterized him as q man without
any power Of will, but at times very
obstinate and cruel, Notwithstanding
that he is inclined to be sentimental.

THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION

The long-expected has happened
and the rioting in the streets Of
Petrograd has developed into a rev.
olution. With the Gar deposed and
the Duma in charge Of the affairs Of
the empire. a banished brother of the
Gar, who democratically had fol-
lowed the leadings of his heart in
his marriage, named as regent du1-
ing the minority of the Czarevitch,
and a cabinet formed by the Duma,
mostly of its own members, Russia
faces the great conflict with Ger
many with renewed vigor and eff
cheney. Orders have been immedi-
ately issued to the commanders OF
the armies in the field and, most sig
nifcantly, London rejoices that the
Russian bureaucracy, honeycombed
as it is with graft and treason, has
been summarily abolished. 1t is well
known that "the people and the army
are for the war and against Ger
many" The danger Of separate
peace sought by Russia is over.
The revolution marks a great adj
vance of the people away from re-
ligious superstition. Heretofore the
Little Father has been given all but
divine honors, and rebellion against
his authority was little short of
blasphemy. The accelerative proc
esses of war have wrought what it
would have taken decades of agita-
ton and martyrdom to accomplish.
The conduct of the war by the
Cars advisers has been inefficient
beyond belief. Contractors have
shared their wealth gained at the ex-
pense of the armies in the field with
the Russian officers. The stories
that came to light in The war with
Japan, of absentee generalship. of
soldiers butchered because of the lack
of arms and ammunition, of trans
portation system utterly democrat
lied, have been duplicated on a
larger scale in the present war.
When starvation of the civilian pop
ulation became an actuality the sys-
TEN broke down and the people
through their chosen representatives
took charge.
That the new cabinet will manage
things far better goes without say
ing. They could not be managed
worse. The parallel phase Of the
French revolution is obviously in
point, when, with King Louis i'm
prisoned and the French Parliament
in control, the menace of all mon
archical Europe advancing upon
France was met with defiance and
victory. Efficient leaders in council
and in the field seemed to have been
developed over night. 1t may well
prove to be the case with Russia.
And the Russian revolution with
the reversion to republican forms Of
government makes the struggle in
Europe more than ever a conflict be-
tween democracy and autocracy. The
three great democracies of Europe
are fighting against Kaiser, En-
peror, and Sultan. The sympathy Of
the great democracy of the West
ern World may shortly be translated
into armed assistance and alliance.
German intrigue seems to have over
reached itself once more. Giant
Russia swapping asunder the strang-
ling bonds of a German aristocracy
is ten-fold more to be feared as an
enemy than before.
