FALSE EMPEROR ARISES IN RUSSIA He Has Appeared at Penza and It Is Said That His Followers Already Number Fifty Thousand. LIKELY TO MAKE A LOT OF TROUBLE Uprisings Are Frequent and Serious in Region Where Pretender to the Throne ' Has Proclaimed Himself. St. Petersburg, Nov. 16. A fnlse Em peror has suddenly made his appearance near Penza, and already his followers number 50,000. This in the startling report received this afternoon in a dis-i patch from Simbirsk. Penza is in the heart of the vast re gion extending westward from the Volga, where agrarian uprisings on a large scale have been occurring. If the report turns out to be true that the pretender to the throne has placed him self at the head of the peasantry the government will soon face, besides its other troubles, a formidable agrarian rebellion." It required a year to sup- press the famous rebellion led by i'ugatcnett, who impersonated the de- throned and murdered Peter III in the time of Catherine II. That uprising waB started in the same region, on the banks of the Volga. -.- - -': RUSSIA ON THE VERGE OF ANARCHY ' ; St. Petersburg, Nov. 10. A panic prevailed on the Bourse today as the result of a rumor that the Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, commander of the Imperial Guard, had been appointed military dietator. There was a stam pede of holders of industrial stocks who hastened to unload. Government lot teries fell 25 points to 400 and Impe rial 4s dropped to 83'2, a lower pomt than touched at any time during the .war- M. Vouich, chief of Premier Witte's chancellory, authorized the Associated Press to positively deny the rumor that dictator had been appointed. lie also declared that it had not been decided to declare martial law in St. Peters-j burif. CI While neither a dictatorship nor mar tial law for St. Petersburg or Russia proper has been decided upon there is no doubt that the Avitte cabinet has been already compelled to consider the possibility of the government being driven to extreme measures. The atti tude of the moderates, who naturally would be expected to support the gov-- eminent at such a crisis, leaves the gov ernment, unless it is prepared to imme diately convoke a constituent assembly based on universal suffrage, no choice but between anarchy, which the rcvolu- Vpists are trying to create, and re- ' pression. , ARMENIANS MUTILATE THEIR VICTIMS BODIES Tiflis, Nov. 10.

Over the Ground and Asserts the Opinion That Nothing That Commissioner Garfield Did Gives Support to the Pleas. Washington, Nov. 16. Attorney Gen eral Moody today made a statement with reference to the pleas in bar filed by the defendants in the indictment against the beef packers pending in the District Court at Chicago. The state- ment says that eight of the pleas are based upon the alleged conduct of Mr. Garfield, commissioner of corporations, in making an investigation of the affairs of the defendants in pursuance to the authority conferred upon him by law, the pleas in bar alleging that the pack ers were promised immunity from punishment in return for information and access to the books of the defend ant corporations. Mr. Moody's state ment says tlftit the information was given voluntarily and continues: the government denies -in point of fact that Mr. Garfield did compel the several defendants to attend and testify and produce uocuments before him, or that he did subpoena any of the defend ants to appear' before him and testify or produce documentary evidence; or that he waived the oath which he was authorized to require of them; or that he promised them any immunity what ever in the premises; or that any evi dence obtained from the defendants was delivered to or used by the Department of Justice or the District Attorney be fore the grand jury ' which found the indictment."

The failure of Krup to appear in court was as flagrant a defiance of law as I ever heard or. I believe there were rea sons, apart from reasons ox His own, why Krup did not appear."
