TA UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES
The Common People of Russia
Are Arming and Preparing
to Make an Effective Strike
for Liberty in Near Future.
ARE BEING DRILLED
BY RESERVE SOLDIERS
A General Strike in the Cities Wilt be
the Signal for the
Conflict.
Pre** Cable to The Eveala*
Moscow, June 8.—There Is a notice-.
Able increase in the revolutionary ac
tivity here and it is evident that Iead
«rs are preparing to take advantage
of the first opportunity to start an
armed uprising. The workmen of the
factories and mills are being sys
tematically armed with Mauser rifles
and drilled under the supervision of
army reserve soldiers In spite of
repressive measures adopted by the
authorities revolutionary meetings are
held nightly in the industrial sections.
Leaders appear confident that the
morale of the troops of the garrison
is undermined, as they have received
from some regiments promises of sup
port in the event of a conflict. Revolu
tionary emissaries have been sent'out
in all directions Into the country"' to
Incite the land hungry peasants to ap
propriate lands and strike on the big
estates. The plan evidently is to se
cure unity of action in the country and
cities and inaugurate the conflict with
a general strike.
GOREMTKIN GOES.
The Russian Premier is a Weak Sifter
and la to be Ousted.
St. Petersburg, June 8.—
to reliable reports from Petei^OTiPfo
peror Nicholas has, qbofeV deqfyed to
retire Premier Oormykin.' From the
first it was apparent to outsider! that
Goremykln did not possess the force,
capacity or skill necessary to steer
the ship of state in the present crisis
and the emperor, who Is extremely dis
satisfied with the premier's sorry
failure to make any headway toward
approachment with the lower house
of parliament, is now ready to sacri
fice him. The emperor, however,
seems to be torn with conflicting coun
sels. Few of his advisers are urging
him to make a frank surrender and
accede to the parliament's demands
for a ministry from the opposition ma
jority. These Influences are hardly
likely to prevail against the party
headed by General Trepoff vhich be
lieves that no further concessions
should be made. The cabinet Itself,
under the leadership of Kokbvsof, min
ister of finance, and Stichinsky, min
ister of agriculture, rivals of Goremy
kln, Js In open rebellion and w^ith the
support they Are receiving from court,
the rebels are confident of being able
to unhorse Goremykin.

Aaaoelated Preaa to The Kveninf Time*.
Washington, June 8.—In response
to a request from the house com
mittee on agriculture, President
Roosevelt today forwarded to Repre
sentative Wadsworth, chairman of
that committee, a report made to him
by a committee of the department of
agriculture, regarding the conditions
in the Chicago meat packing houses.
Accompanying the report was a letter
from the president in which he points
out that there is no conflict in sub
stance between the Neill-Reynolds re
port and that of the agricultural de
partment experts.
The president quotes from a letter
received from a most competent and
trustworthy witness in Chicago to the
effect that the packing house pro
prietors are manifesting almost hu
morous haste to clean up, repave and
even to plan for future changes. New
toilet rooms are being provided, with
additional dressing rooms and clean
towels. The .president's correspond
ent says that the haste toward reform
would have been amusing if it were
not so nearly tragic.
The president says his investiga
tions have not been completed, but
that "enough has been developed in
my judgment to call for. an imme
diate, thorough going and radical en
largement of the powers of the gov
ernment in the inspecting of all meats
which enter into interstate and for
eign commerce."
Kansas City, Jhne 8.—A. S. Van

the cases of Armour ft Co., Swift &
Co Cudahy ft Co., and the Nelson
Morris Packing company, on trial on
the charge of accepting rebates from
the Burlington railway on export
shipments. Van Valkenburgh declar
ed that the packing companies' ac
ceptance of the rate of 2S cents a
hundred pounds when the' -regular
tariff was' 35 cents was a plain vio
lation of the interstate commerce act.
The case is expected to go to the

QV,
Reason Advanced for Shame
ful Outrages of Anarchists
—Victims Numerous.
Aaaoelated Preea Cable to The Bvealac
Times.
Rome, June 8.—The infamous and
shameful attempt on the lives of King
Alfonzo and Queen Victoria last week
was perhaps heard by no other Eu
ropean country with such sincere sor
row as by Italy, and the feeling was
intensified when it was learned that
the perpetrator of the outrage was an
Italian. The latter, fact occasioned lit
tle surprise, however, as Italy Is the
land most productive of anarchists.
The peninsula has had during the last
twenty-five years the unenviable dis
tinction of providing most of the in
struments for so-called political
crimes.
But It has been only during the past
decade or so that the serious "work"
of Italian anarchy has progressed. It
began with the murder of President
Sadi Carnot by Sante Caserio in 1894.
The success of this first "operation"
evidently encouraged other anarchists,
for their crimes followed each other
closely. Lega fired at Crlspi, Acciar
ito tried to stab King Humbert, An
giollo shot dead the Spanish premier,
Canovas del Castillo, Luchenl assassi
nated the empress of Austria and
Bresci killed King Humbert
It is a remarkable feature of this
long and atrocious list that not one of
the murderers committed their crimes
before having been land lived abroad,
where the germs of what is called "in
dividualistic" anarchy %'re imbibedl
But the fact remains that Italy, not
withstanding the kind-heartedness and
'gentleness of her inhabitants, fur
nishes the arms which' execute the
diabolical criminal plans conceived' by
otheVs. Two reasons are alvanced for
this. One is that human life is held
mfire cheaply in Italy than in almost
any other civilized country. The sec
ond reason which is believed to make
the Italian a most ready recruit to
anarchy is. his hereditary leaning tow
ard secret societies.

CAPITAL:.........
::r and Members
of the Legislature in a
Spectacular Manner
Amoclated Preaa to The Evening Times.
Baton Rouge, La., June 8.—The sav
ing of the state capitol building from
complete destruction by fire last night
was accomplished in a spectacular
manner by Governor Blanchard, as
sisted by many members of the Louis
iana legislature dressed in their night
clothes, and by thousands of citizens
supplementing the fire department.
The fire started from a defective
wiring near the roof of the senate
chamber destroying the capital's east
ern wing above the first floor. The
damage was between 450,000 and $100,
000. Among the valuables in the ruin
ed senate chamber where the roof fell
in was the famous painting, "The Bat
tle of New Orleans," said to have been
valued at $40,000. Governor Blanchard
directed the work of saving valuable
papers. The legislature now being in
session the senate will meet today in
Elks* theatre. The capitol is an im
posing piece of architecture on the
bank of the Mississippi. It was first
built in 1847 and was destrowed by
fire during the civil war, after the
federal troops evacuated it. The pres
ent structure was erected in 1880.
POLICE FORCE REDUCED.
Aaaoelated Pieaa Cable to The Evenlaa:
limn.
Manila, June 8.—Tho police force of
Manila is to be reduced to 500 men,
of whom 200 shall be Americans and
the remainder Filipinos. 'As a result
100 American policemen are slated for
dismissal. The change is to be made
within three months. The reorganiza
tion of the force was recommended by
ia special commission appointed by the
governor to inquire into the alleged
necessity for the dismissal of 35 Amer
ican police on April 16. The with
drawal of so many Americans has
created some discussion. Economy is
given as the cause.

Philadelphia, June 8.—W. G. Spang

railroad at Milton, Pa., was the first
witness before the interstate com

as railroad agent he also acted as

greater portion of the coal tonnage
for Milton had been shipped over the
lines of the Reading company until he
became sales agent for the coal com

REPORT IS TRUE
AMMOelated PreMM to The Evening Tlm^s.
Washington, June 8.—James B. Rey
nolds, co-author with Neill in the beef
investigation report, testified before
the house committee on agriculture
today as to his qualifications to make
such a report, that he had no official
position now. He said he had eight
years' experience in university settle
ment work, had been secretary to the
mayor of New York two years and was
a lawyer by profession. He said there
was nothing in the Neill testimony he
wished to modify in any particular.
He wished to substantiate Neill re
garding the shoveling of meat from
the floor of the Nelsen Morris com
pany. He saw it done. Chairman
Wausworth made a somewhat heated
statement defending his manner of
questioning Neill yesterday. He said
the report had done an immense dam
age to the agricultural interests
throughout the country.
