Dmitri Shipoff. president of the M03- ‘ cow zemstvo, is out with a. strong ap- ; peal to all having the welfare of the ; country at lieart without regard for party affiliation to unite in the restor- ation of order and thus insure peace- tul elections and the convocation of the National Assembly, which is the only legal place in which to settle political differences. Under the leadership of the law and order party, an attempt 3 is being made to organize a. counter- peasants’ party in opposition to the Moscow pemnts’ congress. A g.-- Tho» Female Main. St. Petersburg. Dec. 14.â€"(Evening.) -â€"Via Eydtknhnen, Dec. 15.â€"It seems to be beyond question that bloody col- lisions have occurred between troops and the united peasantry and work- men in the streets at Riga, during which machine guns were used. The situation is most serious in the coun- try, which is practically abandoned to the revolutionary bands, owing to the concentration of troops in the cities and towns. mvuvv n ‘__â€"__ The post telegraph congress at Mosâ€" cow is still holding out. insisting that the strikers can be victorious. although unless a. new development enters into the situation their cause apparently is lost. The ranks of the strikers are be- ing deserted and those returning to work are compelled to sign a declara- tion to the effect that they were en- ticed into the union under false pre- tences and agreeing not to meddle with politics in the future. Runs On the Banks. Nevertheless the strikers can cripple the postal service for an indefinite per- lod, and without the striking operators it is impossible for the Government to secure a resumption of telegraphic communication. There are no signs of a break on the Siberian lines and busi- ness men everywhere are in despair at the outlook. Runs on savings banks are reported at many places in the pro- vinces. The desperate strikers here continue their attacks on mail wagons and the robbery of letter boxes. The provin- cial zemstvos are complaining that they are unable to collect taxes without the aid of the Federal Government. and they have been obliged to close the schools. Throughout the Volga and Don regions the peasants continue to cut down the forests. vu- General Was Sorry. The arrival of Gen. Maximovitch. the successor of the late Gen. Sakharoff as the Emperor’s representative at Saratoff, was signalized by an unfor- tunate incident. The peasants in the district of Balascheff had been “round- ed up" by the authorities, with the aid of Cossacks. in order to persuade them to return the wood and other property which they had stolen, when suddenly the commander of the Cossacks was shot and tell dead from his horse. whereupon the Cossacks fired on the crowd, killing tour and wounding ten persons. H Gen. Maximovitch, who arrived on the scene immediately afterwards, was greatly distressed, and in the name of the Emperor promised to succor finan- cially the families 01 the dead and wounded peasants. Amelia Popoff, Assassin. The assassin of Gen. Sakharoi’! has confessed her identity to the extent of admitting that her name is Amelia Popoff. She refuses, however, to furn- ish any other information to the auth- orities. From Tvr, Central Russia. comes the news that the estate of Ivan Petrunke- vitch, president of the Moscow Agri- cultural Society, and a prominent member of the zemstvo, has been sackâ€" ed and destroyed by the peasants. The Novosti says that Szdt, one of the leaders of the Sebastopol mutineers, has been hanged. - . ‘ AV~A__ Talk not of sad November. when a. day Of warm. glad sunshine fins the sky of noon And a. wind. borrowed from some mom of June, Stirs the brown grasses and the leafless 0n the unfrosted pool the pillared pines Lay their long shafts of shadow; the small rill Singing a. pleasant song of summer still.

Francis Hendricks, superintendent of the State Insurance Department. when on the stand Thursday said he had never heard of such a thing, and that it had never been called to his atten- tion. Yesterday after auditors of the Mn- tual Life had testified to this fact. Isaac Vanderpool. chief examiner or the department, declared that he had not discovered the matter in his examina- tion or the company last year, when in his report he gave the company what was practically a. certificate of “good character." He said these manipula- tions or the figures were not apparent in the books. These tranSIers of profits to the debit side of the profit and loss account were made by the auditors upon instruction of President McCurdy and ViceePres- ident Grannis, and the written instruc- tions were produced. They named the figures that adjusted the accounts, and last year. while there was really a pro- fit of almost a million and a halt dol- lars, when these transfers were made. no profit whatever was shown. Knew, But Said Nothing. Vanderpool said he had examined the report of 1904, which showed no profits from the sale of securities. Although -.v.-- -.-v he knew this was untrue he did not so report it because he did not think it was necessary. The same situation existed in the New York Life. accord- ing to Vanderpool. although the prac- tice was not general, and when asked what he did in the matter he said: “Nothing.” Vanderpool said he had examined the Hanover Bank account of the New York Life in 1904, and did not find the 8100.- 000 that was paid to Andrew Hamilton. He never knew of the year-end loans of the Metropolitan Life to Vermilye Co., and never knew how the com- pany handled its collateral loans. He said he never in an examination or a company went back of its ledger-3. No Special Care. Henry D. Appleton. second deputy in the Insurance Department, was on the stand a large part of the afternoon. He said that no more attention is paid to the statement of a New York com- pany than/to that of a. company in- corporated in any other state.

The Premier’s reference to Indian malt-s, in which he said. “We shall make ourselves a party to no step in- volving an invasion of the sacred prin- ciple ot the subordination of the mili- tary to civil authority." is taken by many military men to imply either tho recall or the resignation of Gen.

Wile the Premier had little to say on the Irish quution. the Conservatives will take his announcement that "these domestic affairs which concern the Irish people alone and not us. should be in their hands" as a reiteration of the policy or home rule. and this will be the battle-cry of the Unionists in the impending campaign.
