Horribly Tortured by Police.

Czar Threatens With Punishment a Deputation of
Peasants Which Interviews Him,
St, Petersburg, March 20, --Father
Capon, in a frank, open letter to -day,
replies to the attacks 021 his public and
private life, announces that he has • in-
structed his lawyer to bring an action
for defamation of character against the
detractors, and denies the charge of be-
traying and abandoning a girl while he
was a prison chaplain. Gapon, explains
that, refusing to 'follow the rule of the
orthodox church prohibiting the remar-
riage of priests, which he declares drives
'the clergy to secret immorality, he took
as his wife a girl. whom he loved, and
that she is still living with him.
Continuing, Capon declares that of the
$15,000 which Premier Witte gave
through former Commerce Commissioner
Timirlazeff for the restoration of the
Gapon labor organization, he received only
$3,500, all of which was used to help the
workmen. The remainder was stolen by
Mathushonsky, the press agent and real
director of the Gapon movement, who
was arrested at Saratoff on FA 24, and
brought to St. Petersburg for trial.
Regarding the charge of gambling at
Monte Carlo with "mysterious money,"
Gapon says: "During the bloody uprising
at Moscow I received money for literary
work, and while abroad and out of simple
curiosity I played for small stakes. A
review of my connection 'with the work-
men's movement will prove that I never
was an agbnt of the Government, and
labored solely in the interests of the
workmen,"
When he returned to St. Petersburg
Capon admits that he tommunicated with
Count Witte, who gave Aim permission
to live here, considering that his work
was "constructive and not destructive."
Gapon concludes with an expression of
his firm conviction that history will
demonstrate that "the unfrocked pope"
lived for his country to the last drop of
his blood, and died a sentinel over the
rights and liberties of the workmen and
oppressed.
The letter made a good impression, but

anthracite coal operators establish the
fact that in order to grant the de-
mands made by the coal miners it will
be necessary to raise the price charged
the consumer by .$1.20 a ton.
The demands of the miners provide
for a threefold increase of wages.
1. An inerease of 10 per cent. to all
miners engaged in cutting coal, or other
men engaged on contract work.
2. The establishment of a mininnun
day wage for each clasa of labor. This
minimumn day wage, in many instancee,
is 100 per cent. greater than the, rates
now being paid.
3. The establishment of an eight-
hour day, instead of a nine -hour day,
without any reduction in a day's pay.
By careful ealetilation front the pay-
rolls of the operating companies the
effect of these three increases is to add
an average of 21.64 per cent, to the
actual labor coot per ton of coal. This
equal at the present labor cost of $1,55
