RUSSIAN CAPITAL IN
 HANDS OF ANARCHISTS

Stockholm, Sept 19.-Numerous ref ugees arrived today from Moscow and Petrograd, having left Petrograd on Sept. 13. They say that the Russian capital is entirely in the hands of an- archists and that conditions are worse than ever before. There is no police protection or any other means to pre- serve order and persons are openly murdered in the streets or held up and robbed, as there is no risk of punish ment for the criminals.
 Armed gangs break into the houses, stealing and murdering. in their search for provisions money and clothing. Several of the refugees inf this way lost all their property, even their clothes. .s
 Int report that large sections of the town have been burned, they say, is exaggerated, but very serious fires have destroyed certain quarters, and the confagrations often spread quick ly, as there is no organized fire depart ment, but only volunteers are avail- able.

FIX -CZARINA AND DAUGHTERS
 WERE BURNED TO DEATH

London, Sept. 19-The former Rus sian empress and three princesses and two grand duchesses, whose nameseare not reported, were burned to death about a month after the Russian em- peror was shot, according to a story reaching London. The source of the story is given consideration in some quarters and an investigation has been started.
 After the former emperor was killed the women were taken to an isolated village, according to the present re- port, and made prisoners in resi- dence. They were there only few days when a crowd of Bolshevild at tackled the house. The women barri- caded the doors and the house was set on fire. All the persons in the house perished.
 There have been various reports as to the fate of the former Russian em- press and her daughters. A London newspaper on Sept. F reported that she and her four daughters had been murdered by the Bolsheviki. This re- port was denied a few days later by 1 the Bolshevik foreign minister.

once more to digest and consider the Ger
man terms 'Supposing We do not agree
to such conditionse" asked a member OF
the delegation What are you going to
do within a week, then, we would oc-
cupy Reval,' was the German reply.
Coincident with this last postponement
In the peace dickering came the news that
a fresh uprising against the Bolsheviki
had occurred in Petrograd. 1t was not
known how serious an uprising it might
prove Everything seemed again upon
the verge Of being upset
But these events we're preceded by an
event of equally interesting if less sensa-
honal nature A situation arose in which
the Constituent Assembly was put to a
real test Everything depended upon the
support of the Bolsheviki. But the Bol-
sheviki- ii seems, had determined even in
advance, that this Assembly peculiarly the
voice OF the people, should be dissolved.
1t was curious and significant situation
In order better to understand this really
extraordinary occurrence il will be we'll
perhaDs- to review briefly the history I'M
medlalely preceding it.
On Sunday, January 13, they arrested
New-York tribune., 1918-01-27

the Rumanian Minister at Petroprad as
an act of reprisal for the arrest of num-
Der of Bolshevik agitators by the Ru-
manan authorities at Jassy. Two lays
later the diplomatic corps, headed by the
American Ambassador, went in a body to
Lenne and protested against the arrest,
wnereupon the minister was DISCHARGED.
Ambassador Francis having undertaken to
protest to the Rumanian government
against its act of repression against
Russian soldiers. But the next day Leninc
recouped himself for releasing the minister
ny signing warrant for the arrest of the
King of Rumania-
ana Lenlne was soon to show that h..
could also play the dictator in home poll
tics The long heralded Constituent AS
sembly, or constitutional convention, met
on Friday, January 1S. In preparation for
1t the Bolsheviki on Thursday erected bar
rlcades at strategical points in Petrograd,
and thousands of soldiers and sailors were
brought into the city to reinforce the
Bolshevik troops, and the famous Petro-
grad Soviet of the Workmen's and Sol
dlers' Delegates issued warning to The
people to keep off the streets on the fol-
lowing day. Every step taken by the gov
ernment evinced its determination to con-
troll the convention or, failing in that, to
disperse it. Several of the few Cadet dele
gates had been arrested in advance, and
the rest of them did not venture to attend
the convention.
The first meeting resulted as had been
foreshadowed by we'll informed American
correspondents. The convention contained
a large majority against Lenine; hence
1enine sent it about it's business. He gave
short shrift. It met at o'clock in the
afternoon, and just twelve hours later
sailors were sent to close up the Tauride
Palace, in which it had held it's first sit
ting. The next morning delegates seeking

the troops and the guns, and that counts
for more than vo+es in Russia.
The line of cleavage between these two
factions Of Socialists is almost invisible
to American eyes. This is even indicated
in the dispatches of American correspond
ents on the spot. The following passage
from the cablegram of Dosch- -Fleurot, the
correspondent Of "The New York World"
describing the speech of Tchernotf, who
spoke for the Socialist Revolutionary ma
jority, is characteristic: GAS it pro-
gressed it became apparent that, as the
Bolsheviki contended, their programme
was being taken over bodily, and their
gibes became greater" And Harold Will
Jams, correspondent of "The New York
Times," said Of the speech: "The sub
stance of his programme of internal pol
icy was diluted Leninsm, and he hardly
said word that could offend the suscep-
tibilities of the Bolsheviki.''
The Bolsheviki it seems, had prepared
in advance to kill the convention. They
had the Soviets, or councils of Workmens
and Soldiers Delegates, on their side, and
two days before the meeting Of the con-
vention the government caused them to
adopt a so-called bill of rights, which
appears to have put forth crazy
system of political philosophy beside the

"You ask why VIC couldn't have permitted
industry to continue at it's normal pace and
doubled transportation facilities? The
reason is that there is an insufficient number
of locomotives to increase greatly the ton
mage now moving. If all the loaded cars at
the various terminals could be unloaded to-
day. it would take considerable time for our
available motive power to get these cars
back to the mines and mills"
The attitude of the country toward the
shutdown was one of acquiesccnce in it's
necessity and of strenuous endcavor to
live up TO the required rules; but there
was comparatively little pious resigna-
ton as to the condition of things that
created the necessity. 'The Chicago
Tribune" asked three blunt questions:
1. Is such drastic economy necessary?
2. Is the method prescribed the best So
luton?
s. Who is responsible for the fuel
shortage?
Editorial opinion almost universally
answered the first question affirmativcly
especially as further news was given out
as to the food shortages in Europe and
the delay of exports.
There was disagreement as to the sec
ond point. "The Chicago Tribune thought

America is ready to profit rapidly from
what progress Britain and other nations
have made:
1--WE arc told that of every 1000 men re-
turned unfit for further service 453 are
rendered SO by injuries and SAT by disease.
Thrty-two in the thousand have wholly or
partially lost their sight; 40 have lost an arm
or les; 264 have had serious injuries to these
limbs, or to the hand; about so have been
injured in the head, and about so have suf-
fered miscellaneous hurts OF the diseased
the largest total, 1884, is accounted for by all
ments of the chest about half being tuber-
cular;~ the second largest, 10, by diseases of
the heart; the third, 81, by what NAV be
called nervous troubles, of which II are cases
of epilepsy and of insanity. When we re-
fleet that the last fifteen months have given
the empire a million dead or injured alone.
we can understand that British facilities for
rehtting men for self maintenance are sadly
taxed.

words are the survivals of a great number
