THE XORXiyq OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1905. DESPOT IS VICTOR Moscow Revolt Crushed and Success Hopeless. OUTBREAK IN OTHER CITIES Russia "Will Xow Reconquer Baltic Provinces and Prepare for Douma Election Must Gratify Land Hunger of Peasants. ' ST. PETERSBURG, Dec 29. The sup pression of the insurrection at Moscow, and the certainty that similar uprisings elsewhere will be crushed marked the col lapse of the flrstattempt of the "reds" to overthrow the government, and adminis ters a defeat from which. It is not believed in government circles, the revolutionaries can quickly recover. Now that the smoke of battle is clearing away, the utter hopelessness of the con flict seems to be apparent. The populace held aloof, and not a single military unit actually Joined the revolutionaries. Even the general strike crumbled under their feet by their challenging and precipitating a conflict before tho proletariat organiza tions were prepared. The government se cured a comparatively easy, though ruth Joss, victory, and It Is believed In high official circles that the organizations have been so demoralized and disrupted by the blow and toy the arrest of their most able leaders, that It would bo Impossible for them to attempt the coup planned for the anniversary of "Bloody Sunday." In des peration, undoubtedly, the revolutionaries will again have recourse to acts of terror, which they will spring at the most unex pected moment. The country has quieted down, ind the Cabinet now hopes that the elections to the Douma are assured, and that the gov ernment can devote Its time to the sup pression of the revolt in the Baltic prov inces, and more especially to the solution of the agrarian question. If means cannot be found to In some measure satisfy the land hunger of the peasants before Spring, the universal opinion is that the peasants everywhere will rise. The landed proprie tors seem to be convinced of this to such an extent that the landlords In the neigh borhood of Minsk are calling their tenants together, and are voluntarily arranging the distribution of a portion of their pri vate holdings upon terms satisfactory to the peasants. REBEL MEETING CORNERED Troops Surround Riga Socialists and Disarm Them All. RIGA, Dec. 2S. (via Eydtkuhneh. Dec 29.) Several thousand revolutionists as sembled yesterday at the building of the Socialist organization for the purpose of holding a general meeting, when a force of troops arrived unexpectedly. The in fantry surrounded the building, while the cavalry barred the adjacent streets, and quick-firing guns were placed at the cor ners of the streets nearest the hall. After these preparations had been made, the commander of the troops entered the hall with a company of infantry and an nounced to the revolutionists that they were surrounded. He asked them to dis perse quietly and to deliver up their arms, as otherwise the building would be bombarded. . - Leaders Escape Unscciv Most of the leaders, however, had al ready escaped unnoticed through a secret door leading Into the courtyard. The re mainder declared that they had no arms, whereupon they were searched by the sol diers. Those on whom arms were not found were allowed to leave the lTuildlng, while 160 were arrested after being dis armed. The building was then occupied by the troops. Cossacks and dragoons arc constantly galloping through the streets, dispersing crowds wherever they are gathered. The dragoons especially seem to -be furious and are shooting and striking everywhere about them. This action Is probably In revenge for the treatment of their com rades at Tukum and Talsen. The revolutionaries are posting placards in five languages, ordering the Inhabi tants to disarm the police and soldiers and to barricade the town. .The troops, however, frequently tear down these pla cards. A heavy snow Is falling In this district. Plan to Annihilate Reds. It is said the new Governor-General, with 12.000 additional troops, is planning to uproot the revolutionary movement by surrounding Livonia and Courland and driving all the revolutionaries Into a jaag shaped corner of Courland between Riga and Llbau. where they will be annihilated, warships cutting off all escape by sea. There has been -fio break in the general strike hero. None of the newspapers ap peared today. The inhabitants are not molested by; the revolutionists. BREAKS , OUT IN NEW PLACES Revolution, Suppressed in Moscow, Attacks Lesser Cities. ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 29 (1:30 P. M ). The correspondent of tho Asso ciated Press at Moscow telegraphs that the scattered revolutionists there are only able to keep up a feeble ehow of resistance to the troops, and the Work men's Council, realizing that the revolt Is crushed, is negotiating terms for the strikers who participated In the uprising with the view of calling off the strike on Monday. Nevertheless the radical papers of St. Petersburg continue to inflame their read ers with stories of desperate fighting in the streets of Moscow, reporting the rev olutionists as being in complete posses, slon of ten miles square of the city, which the troops with all their artillery and machine guns are unable to pierce. These papers print columns of descriptive matter In the Interest of the revolution ists fighting valiantly behind barricades, standing on heaps of corpses of their comrades. The Molva prints an Interview with a student who has arrived here, from Mos cow, in which the student says the horror r)t the rights he witnessed was driving hint Insane and he was forced to flee. It seems established that some mem bers of the fighting organizations of the German and other foreign Socialists have come to Russia to Instruct the revolution ists in the use of arms, the art of con structing barricades and the manufacture of bombs. Revolts in New Centers. Although now it is only a question of time when the flames of open revelt will be extinguished, the Moscow revolution ists have made good use of their instruc tion to start fires elsewhere. For the first time the provinces cast of Moscow, in the heart of Great Russia, are affected. At Zlatoust, a town in the government of Oofa, where a large government arms fac tory Is situated, the workmen seem to be In, complete possession of the town. They have seized the works, hoisted the red flag, have declared a republic, and all the authorities have been made captives and are threatened with instant death if troops are sent to Zlatoust. In addition, the workmen have organized themselves into a small amy Bad daily parade the streets, headed toy a band of music, play ing the Marseillaise." Here, too, German Socialists have appeared. At Samara, near Nlshnl Novgorod, also a large manufacturing Town. 20.0&9 work men rose and attempted to march on Nizhni Novgorod, but were met by troops with artillery, and were routed with the loss of several score of men. Eventually the workmen were d".ven back to Samara, where they erected barricades which the artillery have been firing at for two days. The workmen used bombs freely at Sa mara, which Is now separated from Nizh ni Novgorod, hut a rising is expected at the latter place, which has about 53,000 in habitants. At Vcronezh. South Russia, the work men decided In favor of an armed revo-' lution, but the authorities succeeded in ar resting 11 of the leaders, whereupon the revolutionists baited three train loads of sailors of the reserve, who were on their way to the Far East. The latter re sponded to the appeals of the workmen, promptly Joined them, marched Into the town and aided in the liberation of the prisoners. The government has published a mani festo showing that the Social Democrats and "Workmen's Council have arranged for uprisings at Kleff. Kazan and Kras noyarsk, and for a general insurrection in Poland, which will be proclaimed De cember 31. At Kieff and Kazan, the au thorities believe the movement has been nipped In the bud by the arrest of the ringleaders and the seizure of arms. At the former place one of the leaders was a porter In the Governor-General's house. Battle in Riga Streets. At Riga, the proclamation of a general strike was accompanied by an open effort on the part of the fighting organization to seize the city. Barricades sprang up on all the streets as If by magic, and fighting between tho revolutionists and the gendarmes, troops and police has be gun. At Tamboff, Central Russia, all the railroads have stopped running, and Vicc Go'ernor Bogdanovltch, it Is now con firmed, has been shot and seriously wounded. The revolutionists are said to have also completed preparations for a general strike at Simferopol, South Russia, and throughout the Crimea. Generally speaking, at. Petersburg Is the quietest place in the empire. Never theless. It is already clear that the Reds are not strong enough at present to se cure permanent? success anywhere. It re mains to be seen, however, whether the government can turn the victory to ac count before the revolutionary elements gather themselves together for a new and perhaps more successful blow. The leaders Insist that the victory is theirs, though they may. for the moment, suf fer material defeats at Moscow and else where. The stolid indifference of the middle class of p.-ople continues to be the most hopeless feature of the situation. REBELS WRECKING BRIDGES Still Active in 3Ioscov, Though the Leaders Are Captured. MOSCOW. Dec. 30. (Special.) The rebels are tlll active here, despite all reports to the contrary, as develop ments of the past few hours have plainly shown. In order to cut off In gress to the city by rail from Tver, the insurgents today placed bombs under the bridge between that place and Moscow, literally wrecking the bridge. A mob of armed men made an at tack on the police barracks and was defeated with great loss of life The police located the meeting place of the Social Revolutionary committee and arrested all the members. A quan tity of bombs was also seized. Enraged at the arrest of the committee, a mob destroyed 200 wagons loaded -with pro visions for soldiers. Following this the Prefect- of Police ordered the soldiers to shoot any one found -interfering with either provision wagons, tele graph or telephone poles. The streets of the city present a ghastly appearance. The bodies of uni dentified dead are found lying every where. It is said that when the police ar rested the revolutionary committee the workmen were discussing a termina tion of the strike. SPLIT AMONG REVOLUTIONISTS Failure of Revolt Is Cause Jewish Massacre Planned. ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. C?. 6:30 P. M.) The League of Leagues has split, one portion favoring a continuance of the strike and another the abandonment of violent tactics and co-operation In peace ful preparation for the work of the Douma. With the evident object of inflaming sentiment abroad the revolutionary agents are putting out a story to the ef fect that the government Is deliberately plotting a general massacre of Jews. Thene agents display what purports to be the text of an appeal by a Rabbi ad dressed to the Jews to fight against the cross, which they declare Is being print ed by the Ministry of Marine for distribu tion among the ignorant classes, with the object of producing a concerted attack. In-cstigation falls to substantiate the charge that the government Is favoring any such document. There was a slight relapse on the Bourse today. Imperial 4s were quoted at sou. 3IOSCOW SETTLES DOWN AGAIN Work Resumed In Factories and Re lief Given Sufferers. MOSCOW. Dec. 29.

General Theo dore Alfred Bingham, who has been of fered the Police Commlsslonershlp of New York City, had the reputation, when he was an engineer officer, of being one of the most active men In that corps. He was born in Connecticut about 45 years ago. and was appointed to the Military Academy from New Hampshire, Septem ber 1. 1SS3.

DO GREAT WRONG TO ARIZONA Joint Statehood Willi New Mexico Condemned by President. NEW YORK. Dec 29. James Douglas, who is. the executive head of the mining enterprises In Arizona, grouped as the Phelps. Dodge & Co. interests. In quoted today regarding his views upon the pro posed Joint statehood of Arizona and New Mexico. Mr. Douglas says, among other things: "To force Arizona Into a union -with New Mexico is to do a great wrong to the people of the former territory, who. In racial antecedents, religious preferences and Industrial Interests, are wholly unlike the Inhabitants of New Mexico. New Mexico has a population sufficient to Jus tify her admission as a single state, and the people of Arizona, among whom I have spent more than 23 years of my life, would rather wait 20 years for statehood than be Joined to New Mexico. "In the event of Joint statehood, the vasrlntercsts In Arizona would be out voted and so controlled In the matter of taxation by the greater population of the present territory of New Mexico, which Is vastly less Important In the value of Its taxable property. "I can well understand that it may seem desirable to substitute a state gov ernment for the territorial form when ever It can be wisely accomplished, and I can also appreciate the political consid erations that are Involved In the conten tion for Joint statehood, but neither shoulC outweigh the injustice that would be In volved In such an unfit alliance as that of Arizona and New Mexico." WAS HER HUSBAND BALD? IMPORTANT POINT IN TRIAL OF LEAFGREEN CASE. ' Witnesses Add to Confusion as to Which Howard . Jlarrlcd the Woman. ST. LOUIS. Dec 29. The trend of the testimony of the witnesses for the dofonse today in the ult of Mrs. Mary or Media Lcafgrccn. who claims to have been married to the late LacIcJe J. Howard, and whose estate she is suing for 1250.100. was to determine the height of Laclede J. Howard and the condition of his hair whether he was bald and. If so. at what age. Mrs. Virginia Lupton. sister of Lac lede J. Howard, created much amuse ment when she said In her testimony: "I know positively that my brother was bald In 1S8L, for I distinctly re member having rubbed his head to make the hair grow." The witnesses for the defense in most part were relatives of Laclede J. Howard and employes of the Evans Howard Pressed Brick Company. Horace H.

Dr. Dav Raffety. of the State Commis sion, is anxious that the city should retain the Forestry building, and expresses the opinion that the cost of keeping the build ing will be much less than had been esti mated. "I think that the building should stand as It Is." said Dr. Raffety. "as the only memento of the great Fair. One acre would be sufficient for the building, and even if the city has to pay JTOCO It will not lose anything In the end. as the land will be worth that amount. As far as the building becoming dilapidated and un sightly, and a heavy charge on the city. I am of the opinion that It could be made to pay for Its care During the Summer a small charge could be made to sec the exhibit of timber which It contains. It contains now tXO worth of timber ex hibits belonging to the state, and some other articles, which can remain In the building, and be added to It. We have sent pictures of this Forestry building all over the world. A keeper could be em ployed at a small sum. I would have the building remain as It Is. There are set tlers' cabins, built more than 40 years ago In pioneer days, that are Veil preserved, and the bark on the logs still remains. Even If the city should not take the build ing. I think the owners of the land will regard It as too valuable to let it be de stroyed, but we should save It as the sole memento of our Lewis and Clark Fair." Y. W. C. A. at Home Programme.
