St. Petersburg, Nov. 6.--The great demonstration which had been ar- ranged to be held Sunday in honor of all who have fallen In the revolution was abandoned. The city was placarded with a notice signed by Gen. Trepoff gating that political de­ monstrations would not be allowed in the present disturbed state of af­ fairs when one section of the popula­ tion was ready to rise in arms against the other. Consequently the leaders of the workmen decided to abandon their plan, but a meeting was held at which resolutions were adopted declaring that the peaceful intentions of the St. Petersburg workmen have called to their feet all the representatives of the decadent autocracy. Gen. Trepoff foreshadows possible attacks by bands of roughs, and blood again may flow in the streets of St. Petersburg. In view of this plan, showing the value to be attached to promises that have been made and manifestoes is­ sued, the council of delegates an­ nounced that the proletariat of St. Petersburg will give the government the last fight not on the day chosen by Gen. Trepoff, but when It is "con­ venient for a few armed and organ­ ized people." Call People to Standard. The abandonment of parade did not become known generally and vast or­ derly crowds mostly dressed in mourn- ing, gathered In the, public places, with the intention of participating In the demonstration or sympathizing with the widows. The balconies were crowded with spectators. At noon a council of delegates went to the dif­ ferent centers and announced the de­ cision to abandon the demonstration, asking the people to return to their homes quietly and not afford a pre­ text to the authorities to resort to force. The council also appealed for sup­ port until all revolutionists were armed for a rising, which, they de­ clared, soon would come and leave Russia a republic. The crowds then dispersed. It is generally felt that the leaders acted wisely for the inter­ ests of the revolutionary party, the prospects of which they did not wish to endanger by hasty action. The abandonment was not intended and was not regarded as a surrender. The council's control of the work­ ers was strong enough to Inspire con­ fidence that its members will re-es» tablish a. strike whenever it Is most opportune to paralyze the country, fol­ lowing this by a call to arms when the time is ripe. That preparations tot such a call are going on is unques­ tionable. Would Overthrow Bureaucracy. The aim will be completely to over­ throw the bureaucracy. Including Count de Witte and all his friends. The revolutionary leaders and 7,000,- 000 Strikerf who, at their bidding, held up the government and the com­ merce of the empire for two weeks, are more determined to do this than to obtain a parliamentary system.

There are signs that the army in the provinces will side with the prole* tariat against the bureaucracy. ,r The chief Independent reformers, including Prince Eugene Troubetzkoi and Count Ourusoff, whom Count de Witte asked to join his cabinet, have refused to accept office. His list no# mostly consists of his former official proteges. PEORIA SCHOOL FUND MAY BE FOUND INTACT Discovery of Over $90,000 Likelyt* Sustain Dougherty's Claim That There is no Shortage. Peoria, 111., special; The investig&» tion into the affairs of former School. Superintendent Dougherty indicates" that the school fund, which was be­ lieved at first to be a total loss, may be recovered in its entirety. Some $90,000 of the fund,, which was .. reported missing, has just turned . UP in the form of real estate. Another item which led to confusion, and the swelling of the grand total of, the alleged defalcation was one deal? , ing with the income derived from the lands in question. Some $3,400 had been collected as rents from this fund,, but it appears that it was turned into the district fund and not into the township account. There was also a cash item of $150 held as part of the- principal of the township fund. The total makes Peoria's schools $90,150 better off than they thought they were when Dougherty was arrest­ ed and he may be able to explain away much of the remainder. Assuming the correctness of .the re­ port made at the close of the fiscal year there should be $97,331.88 In the district fund, less the disbursements made since that time. Dougherty has maintained all 'the while tflat he will be able to make good every dollar of the school fund and it is possible he may be able to do so. If he does not 4he bond of the treasurer will cover the deficiency. It is pointed out that under the charter of the Peoria district and the law the county superintendent is not authorized to pay the treasurer any money until his bond shall have beer filed and approved*.

CREDITORS ARE TO BE PAID Receipts From Life Policy Likely to Enable Receiver of Bank in Topeka, Kan., to Settle in Full With Depos­ itors. Chicago, dispatch: Chas. J. Devlin, banker and coal operator, whose fail­ ure for $4,000,000 last July caused the crash of the First National bank of Topeka, Kas., died at 2 o'clock Wed­ nesday morning In St Elizabeth's hospital, as the result of a stroke of paralysis. The attack was the second he had suffered since the stroke that caused his collapse four months ago in the midst of his financial difficulties. He had spent three months in Europe seeking health, and his condition ap­ parently was so much improved that he was on his way back home to To­ peka, where he intended to set to work to rehabilitate' his fortune and repay his creditors. He carried insurance to the amount of $1,231,500, of which over one-half was assigned to the receiver of the bank in Topeka. In that city it was said that this windfall probably would enable the bank to pay its depositors in full. Head of Many Enterprises. Until his spectacular failure Mr. Devlfttt was head of twenty-six differ­ ent companies, was one of the largest soft coal niWatnr^ the west, and stockholder in a' string of banks reaching from Illinois to Kansas. He was one of the first men :to open up the town of Spring Valley, 111. The first attack which Mr. Devlin suffered last July, was brought on by overwork. It canae ID the form of a cerebral hemorrhage, producing par­ alysis of the left side. As his affairs were in the hands of receivers, he placed his three eldest children in school in Chicago, took his wife and the other two children, and his old friend, the Rev. John F. IJower of Spring Valley, and sought rest-In Ire­ land. For some time he was a victim of melancholia. But in the last few weeks his mind had cleared greatly, and when he arrived in New York on Oct. 25, he insisted on starting im­ mediately for Chicago, for a confer­ ence with his friends. Hospital Was His Home. He arrived at St. Elizabeth's hos­ pital last Saturday. Thi3 hospital, conducted by the Poor Handmaids of* Jesus Christ, he always had consider­ ed his home in Chicago, and his gifts to the sisters had been many. At 11 o'clock Tuesday morning he sat In his room talking to his wife and daughter, Blossom, when that look which his family had learned to dread suddenly spread over his face, and he sank to the floor. "This Is the last time, dear," he whispered to his wife. Dr. A. F. Kramps was summoned. The doctor is an old friend of the Devlin family, and he knew the end had come. The patient appeared to recover a little .from the shock by noon. At 4 p. m., however, while sSl his family were about the bedside, he suffered another hemorrhage and became unconscious. He died ten hours later. Mr. Porterfield at once began ar­ rangements for the funeral of Mr. Devlin and for settling up his estate. George R. Peck, general counsel for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul railroad, who Is traveling in the east, was reached by telegraph. He was & warm friend of Mr. Devlin, and is ex-, pected to return for the funeral 1A Spring Valley on Friday. NEW PUBLIC PRINTER •COMES FROM BOSTON Charles A. Stillings Has Been lected by the President tp Sue- , ceed Oscar J. Ricketts. Washington dispatch: Charles A. Stillings of Boston has been appointed public printer to succeed Oscar J. Ricketts, the acting public printer. Mr. Stillings was connected with a Boston printing house for some years, was once secretary of the Typothetae of Washington, and is now manager of the Printers' Board of Trade of New Yorw city. He is a son of General Stillings, who was adjutant general en the staff of the late Commander-in- Chief Blackmar of the Grand Army of the Republic. , The appointment caused much sur­ prise here because it was generally believed the President would make Mr. Ricketts the permanent public printer. Rifcketts has been at the head of the government printing es­ tablishment since President Roose­ velt summarily dismissed Frank W. Palmer for disobeying his orders in calling on Ricketts, who was foreman of printing, to show cause why Rick­ etts should not be dismissed for in­ subordination. Mr. Stillings is a friend of Senator Crane of Massachusetts. It is under­ stood that the Massachusetts senator first called the attention of the Presi­ dent to Stillings. The Illinois sena­ tors, together with Senator Piatt of New York and a large number of western representatives, urged the President to appoint Ricketts.

Chicago, 111., special: James R. Gar­ field had- no authority to promise the packers immunity from criminal pros­ ecution--If he made any such promise. This is the position taken by. the fed­ eral attorneys, prosecuting alleged vi­ olations of the interstate commerce and the antl-tnist laws, in answer to the special plea filed by Attorney John S. Miller, contending that his clients are Immune from prosecution in con­ sequence of their evidence given to Mr. Garfield, when, as commissioner of corporations, he Inquired, into the operation of the packing coi*hanles in 1904. District Attorney Charles B. Morri­ son sent to Attorney General Moody the plea filed by Attorney Miller, He expects to hear from the attorney gen­ eral within a few days as to what Mr. Garfield told the packers. It Is possi­ ble that Mr. Moody and Mr. Garfield will come to Chicago, or that Mr. Morrison will be called to Washington. As soon as the facts are ascertained the government will take issue with the packers on the points raised in the plea by demurrer. Prepare Objections to Plea. When the matter is argued the fed* eral attorneys will probably set forth that: Commissioner Garfield Is not superi­ or to the law and that no one could uromise the packers immunity but the president. The law gives immunity only when the testimony is compulsory; when witnesses are subpoenaed regularly and placed on oath. Testimony of. voluntary character does not earn immunity. Evidence secured from the packers or their agents would be no bar to subsequent criminal prosecution, un­ less such evidence was of incriminat­ ing character. The commissioner had power to waive sworn testimony, but as soon as he did so, the government was re­ leased from any obligation exempting the packers from prosecution. Effect of Testimony. "It could readily be understood," said one government official, "that if testimony not under oath could be considered as exempting persons or corporations from criminal prosecu­ tion how the government could be im­ posed upon. Voluntary statements could be made with no danger of pun­ ishment to the witnesses in the event of perjury and they would be released from the consequence of illegal acts." Commissioner Garfield, it is believed by the federal authorities, looked ahead when he released the packers and their agents from the obligation to testify and that he had in mind fu­ ture prosecution by the government. His report, however, in its general ef­ fect, was that the packers were con*, ducting a legitimate business. It was impossible to secure from any of the packers' counsel any direct assertion, that Commissioner Garfield had promised them immunity. It was said that such a promise was not re­ quired, that It was understood. INNOCENT BYSTANDER IS SHOT Bullet Intended for Wisconsin State Senator Strikes His Friend.
