If . According to Information received / /' here the Russian people have been * most distrustful during recent events of the personal influence of Empress » • Alexandra. She was supposed to ex- ;* •ercise the greatest influence over Em- iK" *r peror Nicholas. f The Empress Alexandra, before her V, marriage to the emperor of Russia In *i , 1894, was the German Princess Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt. S, A popular revolution has beep suc- w i cessful and the government of Russia ^ rests temporarily with a self-appolnt- C, ed committee of the duma.

A new national cabinet is announced, with Prince .Lvoff as president of the council and premier, and the other of­ fices held by the men who are close to the Russian people. The members of the new national cabinet are announced as follows: Premier, President of the Council and Minister of the Interior--Prince Georges E. Lvoff. Foreign Minister--Prof. Paul N. lfilloukoff. Minister of Public Instruction--Pro­ fessor Manulioff of Moscow university. Minister of War and Navy, ad ln- terim--A. J. GUchkoff, formerly presi­ dent of the duma. Minister of Agriculture--M.

The proclamation by the military governor in Petrograd forbidding any street assemblages and declaring that any disorders would be ruthlessly sup­ pressed made it apparent that affairs were graver than the dispatches al. lowed by the Russian censorship would indicate. Blow for Germany. Authenticated dispatches from Pe­ trograd, together with the consensus of governmental advices here, indi­ cate that the uprising was a rebellion against the growing German reaction believed responsible for the food shortage and lack of effective military organization. In this connection Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, an­ nouncing the success of the revolu­ tion to the house of commons, said that it was comforting to England to learn, that the revolution "was not di­ rected at securing peace by Russia." Demonstrations against the govern- EAGER TP PROSECUTE WAR ment have been frequent during the ,last few weeks. The attempted pro­ roguing of the duma tanned the firefly which spread rapidly from class to -class and from civilians to troops. Sunday, it broke forth in flame. Panic-stricken," the government or­ dered the mounted patrols to fire on the people. The'patrols refused, and a battle between the police and the troops followed, regiment after regi­ ment joining the revolutionists, seizing arsenals, burning prisons and jails arsenals, burning prisons atad Jails and throwing the heads of the secret police Into prison. For three dayjs open battle raged in the streets of Petrograd. Strikes in factories and on street cars were called in symputhy with the revolu­ tion. Wednesday the week's nightmare of revolution ended more suddenly than it had begun. Planks were pulled from windows* doors were unbarred, factories, stores and banks reopened. ^ The only evidence that a revolution %ad been fought and won was the smoldering ruins o{ a few public buildings. The cost In life Is unknown/ It is believed, however, that It dld^not exceed 500. v Magical and sudden as /Was the transition from the old to the dew, it is believed here that Its results will be almost immediately visible in the In­ stitution by the new Russia of a more vigorous and efficient prosecution of the war against Germany. The duma telegraphed the principal generals at the front to use their iafiu- ence with Emperor Nicholas in'sup­ port of the duma's appeal for a popu­ lar. government, says Reuter's Petro­ grad correspondent. General Brussiloff, commander In chief of the armies on the southwest­ ern front, replied: "Your telegram received. I have fulfilled my duty to my emperor and my country." Gen. Nicholas V. Ruzsky, member of the supreme military council, replied: "I have carried out your request." M. Rodzianko, president of the duma, sent the following ^legram to Emperor Nicholas: "The situation is becoming worse. Measures must be taken immediately, for tomorrow It may be too late. The hour has arrived when the fate of the country and of the dynasty is being decided." M. Chtchegiovltoff, president of the council of empire, was arrested in his home and temporarily held in the min­ isterial room of the duma. A telegram received by the naval attache of the Russian embassy in Paris reported that the railways and public services in Petrograd had re­ sumed work. * . The resolution, which evidently was carefully prepared, broke out simul­ taneously In Petrograd and Moscow. The garHsons, which obeyed the in­ structions of the revolutionaries. Im­ mediately took possession of these cities after comparatively little fight­ ing and equally'small amount of de­ struction of property. Petrograd Bridge Blown Up. In Petrograd one bridge was blown up. Strict military rule prevails and the artny has the situation so' well in hand that It Is not expected adherents of the late government will be able to offer any serious resistance, even in remote provinces. After receiving word of the revolu­ tion, it Is reported, Emperor Nicholas returned to the palace, where he ar­ rived on Wednesday. The following details of the revolu­ tion have been given to the press from a source usually well informed on Russian affairs: "The soldiers refused to act against the crowd which started trouble when it heard of the ukase' issued by Em­ peror Nicholas proroguing the duma. On Sunday the committee which had met to discuss the food situation was partly transformed into a provisional government under the presidency of President Rodzianko of the duma and Included representatives of the duma council of the empire and of the municipality. The garrison agreed to support the provisional government." Papers Fail to Appear. Newspapers, with the exception of revolutionary publications which, sprang Into life with the success of the revolt, had failed to appear. Street car service at noon had not been resumed, but it was believed that night would see partial service. The government was declared to be overthrown by the duma leaders, who met in the Maveritchisky palace after the regular session had been adjourned by Imperial ukase, and in a telegram to the emperor the popular represent­ atives declared that a special commit­ tee, composed of the leaders of the various parties In the duma, would submit a list of names for the new cabinet. The imperial paiace at Tsarskoe- Selo is said to be in a state of siege, but thus far no fire has been report­ ed between the guards defending the palace and the revolutionists and "troops. It is stated that General Michael V. Alexleff, former chief of staff, has been offered the military dictatorship. Two Statesmen Killed. Stockholm, March 19.--Passengers arriving at Haparanda, Sweden, with hospital train reported that two men of prominence In Petrograd had been murdered. One of them was said to have been Alexander D. Protopopoff, minister of the Interior, and the other was be­ lieved to be Boris Sturmer, former premier. „ The old Russian government, It is alleged, tried to bring troops to Pe­ trograd from Finland to save the situ­ ation, b^t the troops refused to go.

New York. March 21.--The railroad strike has been averted. Yielding to the appeal of President Wilson and facing the probability of this country's entrance Into the world war, the railroads granted the demands of the four employees' brotherhoods for a basic eight-hour day. The decision is regarded as a com­ plete surrender to the brotherhoods, brought about, however, after the pa­ triotism of the railroad mahagers had been put to the test. The president's mediators, playing what they consid­ ered their last trump card, were not successful in their mission until after more than fifty hours of anxious con­ ferences, all of which pointed, within a short time before the decision was announced, to an inevitable deadlock. "Magnificent Thing," Says Lane. Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the Interior, and the other mediators were visibly affected when told of the ac­ tion of the railroad managers. Mr. Lane sent immediately for the com­ mittee of the railroads and, turning to Elisha Lee, their spokesman, said: This is a magnificent thing that you have done for your country. It will go down In, history as one of the greatest things you ever did." Affects 400,000 Workers. The number of workmen profiting by this increase will be more than 400,000. That the crisis resulting from the" sinking of three American ships by German submarines was the prime factor in clearing the situation and restoring the country to normal condi­ tions Insofar as its transportation facil­ ities were concerned, was conceded by alL Last Appeal Is Successful. The railroad managers and the broth­ erhood chiefs had been told of the seriousness of the International situa­ tion, but the warning had apparently fallen on deaf ears. It was evident that the strike, which originally had been set for Saturday evening at seven o'clock, but had been postponed to permit of further negotiations, un­ doubtedly would become effective un­ less something more intervened than the mere suggestion that the sever­ ance of diplomatic relations with Ger­ many might lead to open hostilities. The president's mediators again communicated with the railroad mana­ gers, however, with the result that they are said to'have voted unanimous­ ly to yield to the demands of the brotherhoods in order "that neither at home nor abroad should there be fear or hope that the efficient operations of the railroads of the country will be hampered or impaired." Reads Act for U. 8. Defense. The conference committee of rail­ road managers early Monday morning authorized President Wilson's medi­ ators to make whatever arrangements were necessary with the railroad brotherhoods to call off the threatened strike. The formal ietter In which this au­ thorization was mode, signed by Elisha Lee, chairman of the managers' com­ mittee, was as follows: In the- national crisis precipitated by events of which we heard this af­ ternoon, the national conference com­ mittee of railroads joins with you in the conviction that neither at home nor abroad should there be fear or hope that the efficient operation of the railroads of the country will be ham­ pered or Impaired. "Therefore you are authorized to as­ sure the nation there Will be no strike, and as a basis for such assurance we hereby authorize the committee of the council of national defense to grant to the employees who are about to strike whatever adjustment your com­ mittee deems necessary to guarantee the uninterrupted and efficient opera­ tion of the railroads as an indispensa­ ble arm of natiomil defense." Court Holds Adamson Law Legal. Washington, March 21.--In an ep­ ochal decision holding congress to be clothed with any and all power neces­ sary to keep open the channels of In­ terstate commerce, the Supreme court on Monday, dividing 5 to 4, sustained the Adamson law as constitutional and enforceable in every feature. J The immediate effect of the decision will he to fix a permanent eight-hour basic day in computing wage scales on interstate railroads, for which a nation-wide strike twice has been threatened, and to give, effective from January 1 this year, Increases in wages to trainmen of about 25 per cent, at a cosft to the railroads estimated at from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 a year. The court, ^ through Chief Justice White, declared both carriers and their employees engaged in a business charged with a public interest sub ject to the right of congress to arbl ".rate compulsorlly a dispute affecting the operation of that business.

'For all classes of employees In short turn around passenger service, where the rule now reads 'eight within twelve hours,' it will be amended to read 'eight within ten hours.' "For such territory as has no num­ ber of hours for a day's work In short turn around passenger service, the eight-within-ten-hour rule applies.

The vessel brought 1,350 sacks, only those containing the official justice departed at this point from his written text to emphasize the position of men operating trains in a time of national emergency by comparing them to soldiers facing an enemy. i Coming on the heels of the conces­ sion of the eight-hour basic day by the railroads at New York, to avert the threatened strike, today's decision is regarded as largely supplanting that agreement and dlso removing for all time, through the broadest interpreta- tional of congressional authority out­ lined by the court, the probability of future transportation paralysis. " How Court Divided. Joining In with the chief justice in sustaining the law were Justices Mc- Kenna and Holmes--his immediate seniors in point of service--and" Justices Brandeis and Clarke, junior members. Dissenting, for vnrlous rea­ sons were Justices Day, Van Devanter, Pitney and McReynolds. The majority upheld the public right to have interstate commerce uninterrupted as a basic principle par­ amount to interests of the railroads or their operatives--Ijoth declared to be in public service and subject to the supreme unrestricted power of con­ gress to take any action necessary to maintain freedom and uninterruptlon of Interstate commerce. , - > Either as a law fixing wages or hours of labor, the court decided,, con­ gress had authority to pnact the Adam­ son statute. Right of Regulation. "The public Interest begets a public right of regulation to the full extent necessary to secure aud protect it," said the opinion. Concurring In the main principles enunciated by the majority. Justice McKcnna expressed the opinion that the law is an hours-of-servlce and not a wage-fixing statute. He also sug­ gested Increase of railroad revenue probably would be provided If wage Increases resulted. In upholding the statute the major­ ity reversed Federal Judge Hook's de­ cree enjoining Its enforcement and dis­ missed the railroads' test suit, .leaving the federal government free to enforce the statute under its stringent penal­ ties. The wage Increase sustained dates back to January 1, when the Adamson act was made effective. Railroads have been keeping account of train­ men's wages due for prompt payment upon this decision. 0 Will Ask Rate Raise. The temporary wage Increases are effective under the law until the Goe- thals commission reports, while the future Wage scales under the perma­ nent eight-hour-day standard will await either private or congressional action after the report. •yhat the railroads will ask either congress or the Interstate commerce were disturbed.
