Tie employers of labor a a Soring from the general strike are to take the offen sive, carrying the war directly into the camp of the union* and making a struggle to give unloa power Its death blow in Philsdelphia. While the number- of workers on Btrlke to day ? the fourth of the general strike ? varies from the estimate of 12.000 men by Mayor John ?E. Reyburn and the 20,000 of Director of Public Safe ty Clay to the 126.000 or more claimed by the strike leaders, the one fact stands out that many big em ployers have picked up the gauntlet and unless the men return to work speedily, non-uniehr men will be brought In to take tb*r places. In dustries are badly crffe|ed despite it^qlW officials' blalm. w ThViyes of the city and the State as well were turned today to Jjfcw Castle in the western* part of thi? State, where, the Pennsylvania Feder ation of Labor opened Its biennial meeting. The possibility of a general strike extending throughout the en tire State of Pennsylvania which leaders of the State Federation hsd threatened at the sessions today, transferred the large part of public interest from Philadelphia. It is understood l^^that a state wide strike will be avejfc*^ bat the present situation may shtft "afN* moment and enlarge* the struggle."* The first Ixjdy to take such actios wsa the Mason Builder* Association, which announced that, as their men In that trade had brokea their agreement, after today they would be ?upplaafe*.

The Importation of men to jfche clash that will ultimately result ltt the sight of Federal troops in the CUy of Brotherly Love. After a night of qaiet. today open ed with the situation practically un changed. The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company. declar1p*_ that .1,056 cars were run yesterdtf&- w.ere more In dumber than, at any time since the c?r mens' strike began, an nounced Its Intention of Increasing the service today. S Countering this claim, the leaders Of the^labor unions today persisted In asserting that the strike wa* suc cessful and that the Rapid Transit Company wou^l be forced to settle with the striking employes in whose behslf the genersl strike was de clared. The efforts of the United Business Mens' Association, aiming to unite the commercial, religious and frater nal elements of the city and bring about a settlement of the car strike and the sympathetic etrlk* were con tinued. today. The loaders of the movement expressed confidence thai sufficient pressure could be brought to bear to end the trouble. A staff of the foremost organizorb In the country, today Is bound for Philadelphia to carry out the plans of the leaders for the complete or ganisation ot. the working class of the city. This is the result of an ap peal to Frank Morrlaon. secretary of the American Federation of Labor, at Wsshlngton, sent by the Central La bor Union, the Building Trade* Coun cil, John J. Murphy, president of the union: Charles A. Leps. and W. D. Mahon. international president of the car men. ?< MEETING YESTERDAY.

An un dercurrent of excitement today agi tated St. Petersburg, as the Russian government began the mockery of trying Nicholas Tchaikavsky aud Mme. Breshovskaya. With the case 'decided ahead of time, the public ' barred and the protests of the civi lized world flouted, the machinery of the czar's government was put in op eration to crush two most famous radicals of Nicholas' dominions, both betrayed by the spy Azeff. Troops are under arms in St. Pet ersburg aud ? at outlying points, where they were' ordered when the secret police reported that the revo lutionists would seize the opening of the trials as the occasion for an upr rising. , Early in the day the streets were' crowded, thousands of students marching in orderly fashion and ap parently without organization.

Comman der Peary .declined today to submit to Congress the proofs of his discov ery of the North Pole. He sent In care of Representative Alexander, of New York, a statement written In the third person and addressed to the subcommittee of the House commit tee on naval affairs, in whtch he set forth his reasons for refusing to send his data to the committee. The statement follows: "Commander Peary and his friends Kay that contracts signed months ago with his publishers render It impos sible to make his records and scien tific data pqbllc now. It would not /fmly ftibje*?t "Pedir ,t? heavy damages ? a loss which he cannot meet, hav ing Just extricated himself from debt incurred In connection with his va rious .expeditions ? but It would be breaking faith with his publishers, which he Is unwilling to do under any circumstances." ?

Hinson and, reaching his arm through the opeuing, stole tfie purse belonging to Mrs. Hinson from the rail rack. The evidence against the defendant was mainly cir cumstantial, but there were some very utrong links. Tracks made by a man wearing rubbers were found in the yard of the Hinson home, and when a pair of rubbers belonging to Johnson were carried out and placed In them a perfect fit was secured, a peculiarity In one of the tracks cor- , responding to a worn place In the rubber. i. ? ? ? + Several witnesses were examined who testified to having seen a negro In the neighborhood shortly before the robbery occurred.
