ST. PETERSBURG, November 19. A run occurred on the St. Petersburg Savings Bank. There were insufficient funds in many of the brandies to meet tihe demand, but immediately on the larger 'banks forming a syndicate/ arid purchasing all the shares offering on the Bourse, the panic was checked. A thousand workmen at Skarsyska, in Poland, 'held up a goods train, dynamited a 'bridge, cut the telegraph lines, and tore up the rails. A (regiment has 'been sent to patrol the line. The Czar has appointed Baron Salza, commanding the troops at Helsingfors, as acting-Governor of Finland, without consulting Count de Witte. TOKIO, November 19.
