RUSSIAN TROOPS : SLAY OFFICERS SERIOUS REVOLT BREAKS OUT AT HARBIN It It Reported That Wltte Hat Offered Hit Resignation, but That the Czar Mas Refuted to Accept It UntiMnnrrt from TlKf On*.) lipfor* It Is Issued. Thin law nbnll«h>« tha censorship In cities, hut not In the country. Whlln It Is bnsed on the principle of thn responsibility of editors before the courts, it Includes, beside, thn usual Inhibitions against Wf" mAjpste, venal ties, flnea nnd Imprisonment for Incltatlons to strike- which threaten the safety of the note nnd which may cause mutinies In tho armies nnd navy. Suoh Imitations, It Is said, nro nl-o punisha ble with exile. As the publishers have B*ree<l to net together, there certainly will be another struggle. Efforts of Government With an eye to the future, the gov ernment Is making o great effort to re lieve the discontent In the nrmy by removing the causes of complßlnt. The sum of $18,600,000 hns been added to the military budget for the Improve ment of the soldiers' food and clothing. Though the Moscow semstvolstH say they are ready to support Premier Wltte on the conditions laid down In the resolutions of tho congress, M. Petrunkevltch believes thnt the Idea of co-opera t.lon is now too lnte and that the only salvation for the government Is the retirement of the whole Wltte ministry and its replacement by "n. ministry having the confidence of the people." M. Petrunkevltch, who is charged with harboring the ambition to suc ceed Count Wltte ns premier, modestly declined to suggest a proper man when questioned on the subject, sny lng that whs the prerogative of the sovereign, but he emphatically ex pressed the opinion that a real Liberal inlnlstry would Instantly chanK" the situation and rally to Its support not only the zcmstvolste but the consti tutional Democrats in general and the great mass of the orderly disposed peo ple who have not associated themselves with the Socialistic revolutionists. Though many of his colleagues might be ready to accept or compromise suf frage on an Indirect basis for the coun try, personally M. Petrunkevltch was of the opinion thnt the people's hopes were so fixed in universal, direct and secret suffrage that It was doubtful whether the ejections could be held un der any other system. Beside, M. Petrunkevitch was skepti cal as to whether Y.'itte's government would accept the compromise offered. He believed the reactionary influence might refuse to go beyond the plan for the extension of the suffrage to the workmen of the cities, the educated classes, merchants and persons paying $120 rent annually. . . M. Petrunkevltch was much alarmed at the successful propagation of the Socialistic doctrine among the peas antry. He said: ■ "A single agitator, promising the So cialization 'of state und private lands, can : inoculate a thousand Moujiks with a blind passion to ' appropriate land without regard to the rights of others, (md accomplish harm which a genera tion of good government could not counteract. The crying need of the hour is a llberay ministry to begin the realization of social reforms toward the betterment of tho conditions of the peasants and workmen, but drawing a line between realizable reforms and So cialistic 1 dreams and then gradually wean the people away from the paths of agitation and discontent." Praises Father Gapon • M. . Petrunkevltch concluded with praising the work of Father Gnpon, who, he said, was preaching the right doctrines to the workmen. "The union of all the Russian peo ple," formed of all the reactionary or ganizations which participated in the landlords' congress at Moscow Is dis playing great activity In founding branches to resist the revolution an.l arming its members to .fight the strikers. In St. Petersburg 3000 per sons have been, enrolled and the city has been divided into districts, cuch under a leader. The result is sure to be street fighting In the event of a general strike. The union has irawn up an address to the emperor In favor of the , maintenance of the autocracy and Imploring his majesty to grant only consultlve functions to the national assembly and not to take the great step of: abdicating the uutocrntlr: power without following (lie traditions if his ancestors and consulting with all the estates convened In the zemstvos and In a zemstvolst platform designed to secure the adherence of the peasants, two of its planks to be the restoration of order and more land for the peas ants, founded on a scheme not only for the division of the crown lands but on the appropriation of a portion of the private lands in densely populated dis tricts. Cannot Protect Estates In many regions of Russia, the local authorities are practically unable any longer to protect the estates, both ow ing to the insufficiency of troops and the temper of the soldiers. The mili tary commanders have secretly notl lied the landlords that It is doubtful whether the troops will fire upon the peasants. If the soldiers are split up In small detachments and sent to the country, it is likely that they will make common cause with the peasants and murder their officers. The commander of the fortress at Tlrest lias notified all the lando wners in his jurisdiction that they must make puch provisions as thoy can for tholr own protection. ' . • Owing to the situation, the governors of provinces are authorizing the in crease of the vlllago pollco and the i.nnlug- of the policemen. Revolting stortes of tho savagery of the- peasants which aro now coming in give only a ■ faint idea of I what the world would witness should a wide spread uprising of the peasants take place.

Baker of the Grand opera house to lose three : pounds yesterday evening.- Jf Master Rice, or Buster Brown, as he is more popularly known, had not been a kodak enthusiast of deepest dye, Mr. , Baker would not to day be the mere shadow of his former large and good-tempered self. This is the story: . At 6 o'clock last evening Master Rice was seen by George Hall, one of the members of the Buster -Brown com pany. Hall went to the theater and told Rico to follow him In a few mo ments. . . Seven o'clock came and no Buster, 7:30 and the same depressing state of affairs existed. Manager Baker was covered with cold perspiration, for he thought that he would have to refund all the money that had been taken at the box office. At last the time for the curtain ar rived and everybody coneeted with the Grand opera house was dashing about In a frenzj' for anxiety. Stage hands bustled about with eyes distended searching for the missing midget. Members of the orchestra went pok ing about In an abstracted fashion with their hands full of music and their souls tilled with fear. Friends Grow Alarmed Various members of the company telephoned to all the hospitals and to the police station. Nothing was stirring at all. To their queries the police made answer. "Is he a drinking man?" "No," was the imroedinte . answer. when his passions are inflamed, Is like a wild beast and frequently turns upon those he loves best. It is reported that Gen.

' At last at 8:40 Manager Hodgeman of the Buster Brown company an nounced that he had an understudy In the person of a girl, Leila Coutna, who could take the part in a pinch. So. the girl hastily donned the cos tume lor the opening act and went on. She, made an immediate hit and Baker began to breathe again. Still everyone unemployed for the moment In the building was mentally considering the whereabouts of the lost . Buster. Finally, Hodgemann, manager of the production, said, "Lets see If he Isn't at the hotel." So a party was made up to go .with Hodgemann. Arriving at, the hotel, the clerk wns asked, "Have you : seen Rice, Buster Brown, this evening?" No, he hadn't seen him. ..• ..;•>'. Making Beautiful Black and Whites So up to the room of the lost lad went the party: no one could imagine whatwas the matter. Perhaps he was lying sick, without strength enough to ring for help. Into the room marched the solemn cordon. It was In perfect order. ■ Then Hodgemann opened the door to the bathroom and there, with his coat and vest discarded, shirt sleeves rolled up to the shoulders, was the miniature man. In the bath tub In front of him were perhaps fifty prints from kodak films. Bottles of various hues filled with strange liquids' stood beside the over flowing bathtub. Strange chemically metallic scents filled the air. The mld p.et was absolutely Impervious to any thing outside of his beloved kodakery. "What's the matter with you fel lows?" was his surprtsed outburst. "Do you know what time It is?" asked Hodgemann.' "No," It surely isn't time for the performance?" was the unxloiiß query. . "It Is fl o'clock." .«ald Hodgemann and showed Rice his watch. "My lord, did they hold the cur tain?" Buster seemed to be totally oblivious to the worry that he had caused, but every one was so relieved to know that he was nafo that he was not re proached.
