London, Oct. 30. -The correspondent
of the Daily Chalmicle at St. Petersburg
sends the following:
"The court is in revolt against the
Ewer:is:, who is vacillating between
the counsels of his Ministers to grant a
constitution with Count Witte as Prem-
ier, and the advice of the reactionaries,
to proclaim a dictatorship under (len-
oral Count Alexis Ignatieff, a membee of
the Council of the Empire.
'One of the most ominous factors in
the situation is the feeling among the
rime. There are only 4,000 troops in
Finland, the 0,000 reservists, sent there
having been brought back because they
developed revolutionary ideas.
Should the Finns revolt the Govern-
ment could not reinforee the gannet',

Restraining the People Prom Violence -
Military Siding With the People.
• St. Petersburg, Oct. 30, 12.55 pan -The
city continues outwardly calm, but there
ia the most intense excitement beneath
the surface. The strike committee con-
tinues to restrain the people from vio-
lence, this being considered to be the
best means of attaining the ends in view.
But behind the scenes the members of
the committee are holding' constant
meetings with the leaders of the various
groups, and seem to be preparing for a
bold stroke at the opportune moment.
The committee believe that the longer an
open collision, which can force a, show
of hands can be avoided, the better their
thances.
The army, they say, is being gradually
won over to the people's cause. Only

stock suffered a relapse, and three weeks
since was taken to Atlantic City by two
of his daughters and Major Duer, his
son-in-law. He showed no signs of
amendment, but until a few hours be-
fore his death did not know his condi-
tion was hopeless. The remain S are ex-

Toronto, Oct. 30. -The criminal assizes

counsel, T. O. Robinette, K. C, will in-
troduce nothing in her defence, except
the evidence of Dr. Beerner, of the
Mimico Asylum, and Dr. John Caven,
who are well-known experts on brain
disease. Mr. Robinette will not ask the
Carr girl to take the witness stand in
her own defence. By the evidence of

DETROIT MAN COMMITS SUICIDE;
S ALLOWS POISON IN A PARK,
And Very Foolishly Blames the Bible for the Act
and His Troubles.
-Detroit despatch: George Clark, aged
00, who has made his living for the
past few years by selling tinware, which
lie peddled about the outskirts of the
city with a bicycle, committed. suicide
Thursday afternoon by taking Carbolic
acid in East Grand Circus park.
That Clark planned suicide is evi-
dent from a ten -page letter found in
his pocket, in which he bequeaths
his body to science and states that his
life was a, failure because he followed
the teachings of the Bible.
Olark was one of the odd
of Detroit. Be could. be seen
the streets with his bicycle
with tinware and bells arranged in
such a way that they were constantly
ring. A short time ago he sold
his bicycle and stock of tinware, and
since then has been very despondent,
his friends say.
Ile went to Charlotte azia started in
Ike hardware business, but wasn't suc-
cessful. About ten years ago he re-
turned to Detroit and began to sell
tinware from his bieycle. It is be-
lieved Clark left money in some De-
troit Bank.
Some extracts :from the letter Clark
left follow:
I have tried everything, bricklaying,
farming, stone mason, pick and shovel,
charactrs
daily on
loaded
and I think it best to cross the River
Styx.
The world is all right, but the people
in it are a fraud. I have done every-
thing but robbery. I have been robbed
myself, and it gave Inc an uncomfort-
able feeling.
If the doctors or any one studying
sciences, wish to examine my old. car-
cass, they can do so -see if they can
make out what Rind of a make-up I
am. For the benefit of science, I make
this offer, for all I have to give is this
old carcass,
I feel justified in taking my life There
are two other things, we have got to be-
lieve one or the other. Tbat there is no
such thing as a merciful and all powerful
God, or if there is, we have got to make
Him out to be a more unmerciful tyraut
than man can be.
My life bas been a complete failure all
through and I ley it to the Bible.
lf I had never seen or read the Bible,
I would, be a healthy and prosperous
man to -nay. I think there was no book
ever written that is as big n humbug
as the Bible. Talk about your novels -
there never was a novel written but had
more sense and truth in it than the
Bible. The novelist writes of something,
but the Bible of nothing.
I have fought against taking my life
for four weeks with all the power qf my
mind. There was some other power
stronger, rind I have to do it."
Coroner Parker decided not to hold
an inquest.
MAY RUIN SHARUIOLDERS OF BANK.
Shopkeepers, Mill 'Workers, Widows and Orphans
Shareholders of Enterprise Bank.
Pittsburg, Oct. 30. -The coroner's in-
quest into the death of T. Leo Clark,
the cashier of the Enterprise National
Bank of Allegheny, which began to-
day, promises to throw some light on
the badly muddled condition of the En-
terprise bank. Among the prominent
persons who have been subpoenaed to
testify are Francis- J. Torrance, an of-
ficial of the Santa re Central Railway
and the Pennsylvania Development Co.,
the two companies of which the dead
cashier was treasurer; Wilson A. Shaw,
President of the Bank of Pittsburg;
Frederick Gwynner, President of the En-
terprise Bank•'the entire Board of Di-
rectors; and Mrs. Clark, the cashier's
widow.
The decision of Comptroller 'of the
Currency Ridgley to call for 100 per
cent. assessment on the stook- of the in-
solvent institution is causing much anxi-
ety among the stockholders. Some of
the bank officials who know by whom
the stock is held predict tnat the as-
sessment will bankrupt at least 300 of
the small shareholders if they are able
to pay at all. These small stockholders
are shopkeepers, workingmen and women
in the mills and factories of Lower Al-
legheny, and widows mid orphans.

strange method of stealing. lIe rob-

tamer with the hypothesis that every
beggar is an impostor, And generally
a prosperous one, He made his home
at Calais and studied the movements
of the beggars. He noted those that
were possessed of 111011110, and robbed
them in their rooms.
Ile earried iAlt his thefts in the most
barefaced fashion, knowing that his
victims would be unable to obtain re-
dresa front the police without expos-
ing their own frand. He prospered
exeeedingly, and the beggars offered
him a handsome share of their reeeipts

preferred his own method,
.At last two beggars whom Ite wee

the victim of the "suit case' tragedy
was Susan Geary, of Cambridge, a die -
ns girl, they were making every pos-
sible efort to -day to discover who was
responsible for her death. At the re-

to whom the girl was engaged, is being
