R*W>ut:n. however, wax of a different
opinion, and in his desire that others
shonld share it he liked to boast tn pub
lic of the thing? which he had not done
and of the worde which he had not
spoken. He wa_, upon excellent terms
with some of the palace servants. In
whom he had found comrades and with
whom he felt more at his ease than
with any one else. He rot them to re
late to him all that was gxung on in
. the fhmtiy of the cxar. He very clever
ly made use of this knowledre later bn
It Is well known in Russia that tire
emperor himself was watched by the
secret police, not only in view of his
newsonal safety, but also because it was
to the Interest of the police to be thor
oughly -acquainted with all that he did
and with the remarks that it ple/sed
Mm to make And the secret police
were world nr hand tn hand with Ras
■putin Tbeir provocative agents, of
which there existed considerable nuzn
hera, were everywhere talking about the
•■Prophet’s'’ Infhfence and ever-growing
importance, as well as relating In an the
restaurants and public places in the
capital wonderful and improbable tales
■ ■oncoming him and hie doings. From
. these they were spread among the public
and penetrated to people who otherwise
would never have had the possibility of
hearing anything about them. Among
those who Showed themselves the most
active and the most eager to talk about
and about the influence which
he was acquiring were persons well
known for the:r German sympathies and
others suspected of being German
agents in disguise.
At that period the great ( aim of the
<»erman foreign office was to bring
about the oollapse of the Franco-Rus
sian alliance, and it set itself most
• leverly to try to bring it about. .Unong
the persons whom It employed for the
pjrpose was Rasputin, perhaps unknown
to himself, but led by men Tike Count
Witte. who bad always been pro-Ger
man in sympathy and who had almost
engaged himself to bring about a rap
prochement between the St Petersburg
and the Berlin courts. Working with
\rttte was Mr. Manusaewltsch Maniu
loff. one of the most abominable secret
agents the world hae ever known, who
1* his unscrupulousness would have
done anything he was asked, provided
Be were paid high enough. For years he
nad been in receipt of German subsidies
Tfty dint of blackmailing he had con
trived to maintain himself in the ca
pacity of one of the editors of the
NovoSe Vre tn la. where he wrote all that
was asked of him for a consideration,
the extent and nat’-rre of which depend
<wi upon circumstances. He also on
the staff of the Russian political Intelli
gence Department, to which he rendered
< rch services as he considered to be ad
vantageous to himself without the least
thought of the use these might be to
Jhe state which employed him.
MR. MANILLA} FF was a spend
thrift who never could deny
himself any of the good things
of life. Those are always considered
•o be expensive ones, and consequently
r — ne had expensive tastes. His capacity
qf police agent had allowed him to
blackmail to advantage people against
whom he had discovered, or thought ho
bad' discovered, something in the way
of dangerous political opiniona One
at his favorite occupations consisted
in going about among these people and (
hinting to them that unless they show
ed themselves willing to minister to his
»numerous wants they might find them
selves one day in a very tight corner.
• Generally these tactics proved success-
• lul. until he was caught red-handed in
Paris, where he had been sent on a
special mission. , tampering with the
funds of which he had control. This
accident caused him to be dismissed
But the man knew far.too much and
bad been far too advanced in the con
fidence of his superiors for them to
be able to do without his services, so
be was allowed to return to Russia and
enroll himself in journalism, thus to
make himself useful again He had a
| wonderful intelligence and was an ex
cellent worker and talked fluently in
i most of the European languages He
' therefore made his way up the ladder |
k once more, until at last he became the I
private secretary of Mr. Sturmer when
I the latter was Prime Minister, an ad
vancement that proved fatal to him be-
E cause it brought him to prison. But
•f this I shall speak later on when
touching upon the events which culmin
ated in the murder of Rasputin.
THE "MONK" BECOMES A
PROPHET ’
Such were the men who virtually
■. controlled every action of the "Prophet.'
- and it is no wonder If guided by them
he sometimes contrived to influence
the Txa* - h:nj>elf. but the latter's
Mlnistert. and officials who had been
told they did not even know bjr whom,
but probably by the loud voice of the
I public, that to’ do anything to please
Rasputin was to secure for oneself the
good graces of the highest people in
the land As ti.me went on the "Proph
et” showed himself less and less in
| public, remaining among a small circle
F of personal friends, wnose interest It
L was to represent him as a kind of In-
’ dian Idol, unapproachable except to hit '
worshiper.- 4 .
And in the meanwhile the ladies who
i’ had been the first artisans of Resputin’s
I favor were still holding religious meet
ings under his guidance and still seeking
inspiration from his teachings. They
believed him to be a real saint, refused
to admit that he could do anything
wrong and refused to accept as true the
rumors which went about and which,
unfortunately for the “Prophet's" rep
utation. were but too exact, that he was
fond of every kind of riotous living, tfeat
> he spent his nights ir» drunken revels
and that he gave hts best attention to
brandy mixed with champagne. His ad
mirers persisted in aaetng In him the
prophet of the Almighty and believejl
that they could never be saved unless
they conformed to all the directions
1 which it might please him to give them
The Rasputin rraxe became more vio
lent than erer during the few months
which Immediately preceded the war.
and it very nearly verged upon complete
fanaticism for his personality. Every
i thing that he did was considered to be
holy. His insolence and arrogance, dis
• > played with increasing violence every
, ‘ day and hour, were almost incredible,
f. This illiterate peasant dared to send
dtrtv little scraps of paper on which
be had scribbled a coarse message to
thinisters and public men ordering them
to do this or that according to his pleas
ure. and presuming to give them advice,
which was never his own. in matters
of the utmost public importance. At
first people had laughed at him. but
very soon they had discovered that be
aould revenge himself on them quickly
, And effectively, and this had led to the
general determination not to Interfere
aith him any more, but to leave him
kieverely alone, no matter what extrava

Ml VOTES IN FMIOR
OF CONSCRIPTION LAW
English Speaking Population
Almost Solid in Opposition
to French Canadians
OTTAWA. Ont.. Dec. IS.—Elecetion re
sults as received up to noon today in
dicate that the government will have a
dear majority of forty-eight seats, with
three in doubt, two of which had been
previously credited to the government
and one to the opposition, and four
seats in which the election is deferred.
The English-speaking sections of Can
ada voted solidly for conscrip
tion that the dominion may continue to
be represented on the fighting line in
the strength it has shown there up to
the present time. The French and the
German-speaking parts of te country
voted against the*Borden government
and for the return of Sir Wilfrid Laurier
as prime minister.
The predominance of the English
speaking element in the dominion makes
the'return of the union government with
Sir Robert Borden at Its head a cer
tainty. '
Tremendous majorities for successful
candidates on both sides constitute the
striking feature of the election. So great
are the majorities of the Borden candi
dates and so large are the majorities
given Liberal candidates in the Liberal
constituencies that the soldier vote, when
It is received, will make little differ
ence in the total number of members
elected to support Sir Robert Borden,
or his opponent. Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
The only effect of the soldier vote
will be to increase the majority of the
government from about thirty to forty
seats, and will make it easier to carry
on its administration.
Where the soldier vote is likely to
work changes is in the case of several
Nova Scotia ridings, where majorities
for Liberal members of less than 200
on the domestic returns are likely to
be overcome and reversed oy the vote
of the men in the trenches.
There are also one or two such seats
in doubt in Ontario.
The decisive character of the Borden
victory relieves the apprehension that
was felt that if either side was return
ed by a narrow margin the strong feel
ing over the conscription issue might
lead to serious disorders in the coun
try and force another election in the
near future.
French-Cejsadlana Oppose Idea
How unanimously the French-speak
ing Canadians voted against conscrip
tion is shown by the returns from the
province of Quebec, which elects sixty
five members. Os those, sixty-two re
turned Liberal members, with big ma
jorities. Only In three English-speaking
ridings of Montreal were Unionist can
didates returned for the whole of the
province of Quebec.
The adjoining province of Ontario
electa eighty-two members and is re
turning seventy or more for the Union
ist government.
Canada west of the Great Lakes Is
showing an even more striking result.
The four provinces of Manitoba. Sas
katchewan, Alberta and British Colum
bia jointly returned fifty-six members
and the indications are that no more
than two of them will elect supporters
of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
The majority of tne it
estimated, will be from thirty to
forty-flve. The government has carried
six and the Laurier opposition has car
ried three of the nine Canadian prov
inces. Those carried by the govern
ment are New Brunswick. Ontario. Man
itoba. Saskatchewan. Alberta and Brit
ish Columbia. Laurier has carried Nova
Sentia, Quebec and Prince ».dward
Island.
All the cabinet ministers are elected
with the exception of two French min-
I isters from uebec. Albert Sevigny and
P. E. Blondin. Sir Wilfred Laurier
was beaten in the city of Ottaway by
&00. but was elected for a Quebec City
seat by almost 2,000 majority. *
Spanish War Veterans

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—01 d soldiers

KANSA CITY. Dec. 19.—Answering
a Kansas City Railway company’s ad

They were told that if accepted they

short khaki skirt, leggings and a con

to pay them generally did so
with alacrity, as happened in the case
pf several banks to which Mr. Maniuloff
applied for funds, with the help of
these illiterate scraps of paper upon
which Rasputin had scribbled his desire
that the money should be put at the dis
nosal of his "protege ”

it was felt that something ought to be

VICTORY OF DRYS
MAKES B. SUNDAY
I SHOUTING HAPPY
Evangelist Characterizes Ac
tion of Congress as '‘One
of Most Momentous Ever
Enacted—l TakeOffMy Hat"
In his own words. Billy Sunday was
"shouting happy" Tuesday, when he was
informed by The Journal that congress
had adopted the constitutional amend
ment providing for national prohibition.
He said:
"It is one of the most momentous
pieces of legislation ever enacted. It
will mean more than anything that has
ever been done, for when the saloon is
driven from our borders America will
see the greatest era of prosperity and
happiness in her history. It will help
to solve the great social question.
Gambling and disorderly houses are so
closely allied with the saloon that when
it dies, they will perish with it.
"The liquor traffic has been tried and
convicted, and now it is about to be
called for sentence. England. France
and Russia found it expedient at the
outset of the war to abolish liquor, and
we will profit in the same measure that
they have profited.
“I am shouting happy to think that
I am going to live long enough to
preach the funeral services of the
liquor business in America. lam over
whelmingly glad that I can see the end
of this lawless, anarchistic, pimple
making. vice-producing, Sabbath-break
ing, pocket-emptying. honor-wrecking,
rag-bedeck ing, blood-polluting, riot-mak
ing. infamous. ' corrupt. God-forsaken
business.
"I take off my hat to the members
of the senate and house who so nobly
stood by and put it over; and if there
is anything I can do to help re-elect
any member, democrat or republican,
who voted for prohibition. I will go the
limit."
$58,000,000 for Land
And Houses for Federal
Employes Recommended
WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.—Expenditure
of more than >58,000,000 for land and
buildings for housing all the govern
ment’s activities in Washington with an
outline of a general building plan has
been recommended to congress by the
public buildings commission in its first
report. The buildings proposed are in
addition to the permanent government
buildings already occupied.
The report disclosed that in the last
fifteen years the number of government
employes here has increased about 100
per cent. This increase does not include
the vast inflow of new employes since
the war began and the building program
does not take into account the expanded
war organization. At present the gov
ernaMßt is paying about >1,059,000 a
year tn rents for private buildings In

abandon use of such cars for the dura
tion of the war, Mr. Vanderlip explain
ed today that his car was really a
“measure of economy.’’
"The car is our workshop.” Mr. ’ Van
derlip said. “It conserves car space for
other travelers and saves time on the
tour.
“I realized when I started on this
campaign I would be criticized for trav
eling this way, but in the long run it
will prove more economical.”

NEW YORK, Dee. 20. -The cotton market
i opened steady today at an advance of 1 to 8
points in sympathy with firmer IJrerpool ca
bles. There were overnight buying orders
around the ring, but they were soon supplied
and the market weakened after the call under
local and Wall street selling. The census re
port showing 10.142.858 bnles ginned to Deccro
hrr 13 was almost exactly as expected. The
light ginning for the first December period
hud evidently been and recent buy
ers turned for profits on the publication of
the figures. Prices eased off in consequence,
January selling down from 29.51 to 29.25 and
March from 28.11 to 28.82 before the encKof
the first hour, or about 18 to 21 points net
lower.
Trade interests were buyers on the early de
cline, while there was no change in the gen
erally bullish average of spot news, and as
goon as offerings tapered off the market turned
steadier. Business was quiet late in the morn
ing with prices showing rallies of several
points from the lowest.
Liquidation in large volume developed and
put prices 18 to 23 points under the close of
yesterday. Toward noon the market was stead
ier on fresh buying and prices recovered to a
net advance of 2 to If) points.
Offerings were light during the early after
noon and the market showed considerable
strength on continued trade buying and COT *’?
ing. Near months were relatively firm with
December selling tip to 30.49, or 24 points net.
higher, while January advanced to 29.81 and
March to 29.19. or about 16 to 18 pointe above
list night’s closing figures. Reports that the
central powers would issue another peace state
ment within the next few days may have been
partly responsible for the advance, but it was
mori> generally attributed to the absence of
spot pressure and the strength of the near
months.

CHICAGO, Dee. 20.—Bxcited jumps in the
value of corp resulted today from the lifting
of an embargo o neastbound shipments ami
because of rumors that the maximum limit
on prices would be raised with the approval
of the food administration. The market ad
vance, which was accompanied by a notable
broadening out of trade, amounted at ope time
to 6%<i a bushel for May delivery as compared
with yesterday’s finish. Opening quotations,
which ranged from %c to 6%c higher, with
January $1.23% to $1.27%, and May $1.20%
to $1.26. was followed by moderate further
gains before a reaction set in. Both December
and January rose to within %e of the existing
maximum limit.
Subsequently denials that the maximum price
limit on future deliveries of corn would be
disturbed led to something of a setback. Re
ports were current meanwhile that a maxi
mum and minimum pricel ilt on cash corn
wonld be established. The close wax nervous,
1e to 4%c net higher, with January >1.24% to
$1.25 and May >1.23% to $1.23%. ,
Oats duplicated the action of corn. The
greatest upturn, however, was 2%c.
Provisions sympathised with the strength of
cereals. The resulting gains, though, were not
of a sweeping character.
