The leading columns of the Manchurian army, which have just arrived at Moscow, are mutinous and have been dismaned. The whole 14th Natal Bat- talion has been hurried to Cronstadt under a guard of 4,000 troops. Some of the nth Battalion of the 8th Naval *Corps have also been conveyed to Cronstadt, where the forts contain 7,000 naval mutineers, disarmed, but defiant. The Ministry of Marine has decided to abolish all naval barracks in St. Pot- crsburg. The Revolutionary Committee bas published an. announcement that all are well organized for the last bloody struggle .against the Government. A hundred thousand of the better class of Russians have fled abroad. in the last ten days. The worst feature of the situation is the ever-growing violence qf the agrarian outrages. •yrf, in a despatch sent from St. Peters- burg Saturday, the St. Petersburg cor- respondent of the Telegraph says that the telegraph and postal strike really ended on that day. The officials re- turned on terms dictated by the Gov- errunent. The authorities are tighten- ing the reins of Government. The tele- graph strike is ended. The St. Petersburg' correspondent of the Morning Post, in a despatch dated Saturday, says the Czar has issued a significant order expressing thanks to the Cossack forces for their self- sacrificing, untiring and loyal services to himself and the country, not only at the theatre of • war, but in upholding order in the interior of the empire. -- STRIKE LEADER ARRESTED. — Witte Adopts Repressive Measures -May Have Serious Effect. St. Petersburg, Dec. 10. -The Czar and Count Witte have sanctioned a step which the revolutionists foresaw, President Khronstaleff, of the Execu- tive Committee of the workmen's delegates, and several other members , of the cothmittee were arrested this Asafternoon at the house where they /Same meeting, The other members are already' communicating with the Rail- waymen's :Union for the purpose of bringing about a general strike. Count Witte's definite adoption of a repressive policy has apparently only intensified popular sympathy with the strikers, who are receiving added sub- scriptions to their funds. . A copy -4. the new press law was 'furnished the St. Petersburg editors to -day. It retains the essential fea- tures of the old system. The Minister of the Interior will be _entitled to suppress a newspaper without giving a reason. A continuous censorship. is -retained over ell criticisms of the Government's policy. A meeting of editors was held here to -night. In- dignation was expressed at the pros- pect of further dragooning by the re- actionary bureaucracy, and the ques- tion was discussed as to whether the newspapers should publish a joint protest or cease publication. until the law shall be modified. No decision was reached at the time this despatch was sera for transmission. It is clear that the Government has deliberately .: entered upon a period of police ty- * ranny, and also that the revolutionists, • ..who recently have rarely used. fire- , arms or bombs in the capital will now resort to the most extreme reprisals. Linevitch sent the Siberian frontier troops nome first, detaining the men who had actually faced tbo hardships of the war, The storm then broke from end to end of the Manchurian army, No longer were any attempts made to conceal the spirits of mutiny and. plots were formed. against high officers. Since the beginning of last month, with Har- bin as the centre, secret gatheringe had been held, The men openly deserted the barracks and camps. Eventually they sent a strongly -worded circular, de - mending redress o Moir wrongs, Laws and discipline were set at defiance, of- ficers were ridiculed and orders disobey- ed, Detachments from the front lines left their posts and wandered in bands about the country, looting and. plunder- ing like highwaymen, Farmers were cruelly robbed. Many svho svere bereft of food and clothing starved to death in the bitter Manchurian winter. Thousands of deserters flowed- dai Thly into Harbin, where all the available rooms in private houses were com- umadered fors their use. Soon the sepplies, never very large, ran out, The other troops held. a gathering and revolted, They would not move with- out having food sufficient to last for some time. All transportation has ems - ed. Harbin, was filled with eonfueion. The ringleaders of the mutiny kept in •eoustant communication with the troops throughout the city. ,The disturbauce , was planned with great deliberation. Letters were even sent to the soldiers at the front and answers received. Seized Stores at Vladivostock. '7 -Affairs now assumed a serious as- pect. Soldiers paraded the streets, poured kerosene oil everywhere, broise into shops and plundered ererything they coultl lay their hands upon. News of similar disorders et Vladivostock fau- lied the flames into a great uncontroy- table blaze of mutiny. The railway of- ficials wern compelled. to join. An ex- press train_ 11118 Seized and went to Vla- divostock, where, amid strikes, the feesh arrivals were able to seize an enormous quantity of stores from the Government warehouses, supply depots and private firms. They captured several machine guns„ many rifles aud bayonets, and thousands of reunite of ammunition. With neje plundrr they returned to Harbin. They were met at the station by a howling mob of soldiers. When the spoils were revealed there was wild cheering and then an orgy of orgies. Cases were smashed open. and the bottles they contained extracted. Soon thou- sands of inen were savagely drunk. The • sacking of aHrbin followed. Many at- tempts were made to set the city on fire. For some time the mutineers were unable to make much progress in their work of destruction, The mach- ine guns were, however, taken to favor- able positions, and a heavy fire was opened up on the barracks, shops and houses. Even the hospitals were not spared. The mutineers to and drank the comforts intended for the patients. They bound the doctors and nurses hand and foot and carried them into the snow fields outside the city, where they mer- cilessly left them. Finally, they join- ed a band of mounted chuncbuses, at- tacked. the railway station, and burned all the buildiugs in the neighborhood.

This is in brief the story of the awful quadruple tragedy by whieh AA entire familyswith the exception of one married daughter, was wiped out of existence. What prompted the deed is difficult to say. His domestic life had been a happy one. He was a leindhusband, an affec- tionate and even indulgent father, 'While firm and expecting to be obeyed, the children liked him and. he in turn reci- procated their affection, his interest in the little boy being very great, indeed. True, he was short-tempered and when crossed by his neighbors became unplea- sant, and this made him somewhat un- popular among them. He had always' been menially sound, and there WS no ins.enity in the family. In fact, his ac- quaintances can scarcely conceive that Ito has been the perpetrator of one of the most shocking crimes over committed in this comity. The farm is located on the fifth concession of Melancthon, about: ten miles northeast of Shelburne. It is not a first-class property, but con- sists of 100 acres of which 00 acres are cleared. For 30 years Coulter bad work- ed the property. A brick house was °recited thereon, and a good frame barn stood about 75 yards away. recently he had sold the farm to William Ellis for $2,000, and bad received in cash it payment of $300 to bind the barstftin. li was.cansidered it good sate. The $300 was used as a first payment on a splen- did farm, wbi.ch he had. purchased front Samuel Tweedy for $5,500. This, too. was considered a good. bargain, but Coulter seems to have regretted the deal. He desired to back out, and had suc- ceeded in having a special clause written across the back7of the agreement to She effect that if he should back out he would. not lose more Hutu the $300 payment. His wife was not dissatisfiecl with his bargain, and placed implicit confidence in her husband. Discovery of the Crime. The crime was first discovered by Cleo, Kitelieti,WhO with Lemuel Ostrander was piling wood across the road, when he saw smoke issuing from an upper win- dow. Ire ran to the hohs.e and opened the kitchen door. Rocked by the ter- rible sight that met his gaze, he ran for help, shouting murder. Wm. Itiggins went over, and they were soon joined by Wm. Westcott and others. The lit- tle girl was fuund to be still breathing, and they put a buffalo robe tinder her head. She lived about one hour, The boy was found in the south mow, and was .81.111 breathing, but, like his sister, was unconscious. He died about 0 o'clock, or about four hours after the discovery of the crime. An impost; was held this afternoon, at which the story of the tragedy was brmight out AS nar- rated above. Crown Attorney W. McKay conducted the examination, and it verdict wits returned as followe: "That Mary, Ida and William Coulter came to their death from wounds upon the skull fled frattures of the skull made by an axe in the hands of James Coulter, and that James Coulter came to his (lentil from two wounds from bus own revolver, made by himeelf, and the jury is of the- opinion that he committed .these deeds of violenee evidle in a, stato nation was xeceived and coincident with tbe resignation Milne applied and was put on. Buchner recovered from Ida ill- ness and exposure followed. Milne was dismissed and the series of fires are supposed to be the result of spite.

Rome, Dee. 1L -The Pope held it see - ret consistory to -day, the second ol his Pontificate, in which he created. new cardinals and apparently allowed a ten- dency to MVO a better equilibnarn tween the foreign and. Italian emineuts bit the Sacred College, as three of the four new cardinals aro foreigners. The cere- mony was performed with the unusual pomp. Nearly thirty cardinals were pre- sent. In Ids allocution, the Popo said he wished he cotild give the cardinals plea- sant and consoling news, but the con- ditions at the preeent times do not per- mit of consolation. Although the Catholic faith is spreading more and more throughout the world, especially in dissi- dent countries, on turning towards Ca- tholie nations one feels sadness and fear lest the prediction of the scriptures is being verified, that the Kingdone of the Lord will be removed to other people, where it will produce good fruit. Especial care and axiety may be felt for tountry heretofore called the eldest daughter of of the church. But concerning the anti- Catholic laws passed there against the laws of justice the Pope said he would speak in accordanee with his apostolic office more gravely and more fully at an opportune time. He exhorted the cardin- als to prayer, recalling that the Lord will cause tranquility and peace to shine forth at the proper time. The Pontiff ended with saying that he intends to honor the whole Latin-Ameri- can race, by creating for the first time a cardinal belougingto that part of the world. Immediately after reading his allocu- tion he created the following cardinals: The most Rev. joseph, Sama.ssa, Arch- bishop of Erlau, Hungary. Mgr. Spinola, Archbishop of Seville. Mgr. J. A. Dearcovcrde de la .Albn- qurque Cavalcanti, Archbishop of Rio Janiero, Alga Cavaino de Azevedo, Majordomo of the Vatican. The cardinals asserted that contrary to the popular impression the Pope did not Illate it fifth cardinal but reserved the appointment in pectore. Later the Pope appointed it number of bishops.

Chicago, Dec. 11. -The conditions which are rapidly driving large manufac- turing interests from the United States to Canada are to be considered within a few days by the Illinois Manufacturers' Association. Reports just gathereal show that 132 of the leading concerns of the country have been obliged, chiefly on ac- count of tariff restrictions, to establish branch plants in Canada. The resulting - - • - loss financially is estimated at upwards of $50,000,000. The agitation which the Illinois man- ufacturers are about to start is expect- ed to assume the form of a national ap- peal to Congress. The remedy most in favor locally .and throughout the coun- try, provides for reciprociey legislation, whicbi will permit of the free exchange of American and Canadian manufactur- ed products. It is likely that Congress will be asked during the present ses- sion to take seine steps in this direction. MINERS WONT STNIKE TITS SPRING. Good News For the Consumers of Coal All Over the Country.
