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

MOSCOW. Dec. 29. The electric lighting
system was restored at 3 o'clock this
afternoon. The streets are gradually as

WARSAW. . Russian Poland, Dec. 29.
Bands of. Socialists are parading the
streets here, striving to enforce the or
ders for a general strike. They compelled
the newspaper and Insurance offices to
close and sent out gangs of youths to
smash the windows of shops whose own
ers refused to close their establlhmcnts.

BINGHAM AN ABLE ENGINEER
Has Done Good Service in Improv
ing Washington.
WASHINGTON. Dec 23. 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

Academy from New Hampshire, Septem
ber 1. 1SS3. All his active service was .in

attractive features of the public grounds

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."

SAYS KEEP THE BUILDING
Commissioner .Raffety Wants For
estry Building .Retained.
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."

3Iothcr Present at Golden Wedding
of the Daughter.
Just 00 years ago yesterday Captain W.
S. Powell and Miss Helen C Hill were
married, and last night they celebrated
the golden anniversary of this all-Important
event at their home. 335 Fifth street.
The first wedding took place In a house
which stood Just back of the old Oregon
Ian office, on Morrison near First, the
ceremony being performed by Rev. W. F.
Boyakln of the Baptist Church. There Is
not. perhaps. In the history of the North
west a pioneer couple whose SO years of
married life have been so peaceful and
full of unalloyed happiness as that of
Captain and Mrs. Powell, and as they
stood to receive their guests last night
It was commonly remarked that their
No woman with unsound kidneys can
be healthy. Sick kidneys. In fact, cause
the majority of women's troubles.
But there Is no need to get downheart

iness, bearing-down pains, sick head
aches, etc Doan's Kidney Pills have
brought new life and strength to thou
sands of 'women afflicted In this way.
It Is easy to tell If your kidneys are the
cause of your ailments. Backache itself
is only the aching of the kidneys when
congested and inflamed. Tou feel It In
the beck because the kidneys are in the
small of the back. The bladder and uri
nary tubes get swollen, crowding the
delicate female organs near by. and caus

to be female troubles.
Sick headaches, dizzy spells, nervous
ness. Irritability, neuralgic and rheumat

heart, etc are caused by the retention
In the blood of poisons that the kidneys
should filter out and pass off In the
urine.
Urinary disorders are sure signs of kid

s
happy life together was the. cause of their
extraordinary youthful appearance. Re
ceiving with the bride and groom of 50
years was Mrs. Powell's mother, Mrs.
Stephen Coffin, now In her 87th year, and
the two daughters of the couple. Mrs. J.
J. Shipley and Mrs. H. A. Haseltlne. both
of this city. It Is not often that a mother
lives to witness the golden wedding anni
versary of a child, and It was an unusual
pleasure to Captain and Mrs. Powell, as
well as to their host of pioneer friends
to have Mrs. Coffin present. The pretty
little home was tastefully decorated In
greens and flowers. Oregon grape and car
nations being used In the parlors and Ivy
and carnations In the dining-room. Yell
ow tulle .was used with fine effect through
out the house. The children of both the
daughters were present, and the group
was a happy one.
The contrast In this wedding and that
of 50 years ago was marked, but the
event was none the less happy. The
house In which the first took place was
a two-story frame, the lower rooms be
ing used for the postofflce at the time.
This fact. Captain Powell claims, saved
him from a rousing charivari on his wed
ding night, as the young folks did not
dare force their way through the post
office to come up-stalrs. As Captain
Powell, then'a young man of 23, had to
steal his bride from unwilling parents,
there was not so much preparation for
the ceremony as there was last night.
The event was none the less happy, as
their long wedded' life has been.
Mrs. Powell Is a native of Vermont, and
came to Oregon In 1S47. while Captain
Powell was, born In Ohio and-crossed the
plains In 1832. He Is now 73 years of age
and his wife 66. but both look much
younger. As organizer of Company D,
First Oregon Infantry, which saw service
In the Indian war; Captain Powell became
prominent In this locality, receiving his
commission an captain at that time'. At
present he Is ballifi of the Circuit Court.
For many years he has" been a member
of the Veterans Quartette, and still sings
with the vigor of youth. His life haa
been a useful and busy one. and he Is re
garded as one of Portland's foremost pio
neer citizens. One hundred and fifty
guests were present last night to con
gratulate the couple upon this unusually
bappy occasion and to wish them many
more years of life together.

IN NEW WATER OFFICE
East Portland Residents Will Pay
in the Holman Building.
January 1. 1905, will find the East Port
land water collector's office in room 40T,
East Washington street. In the. Holman
building. The furniture is now being,
moved, and the collectors will be ready
to receive money next Monday morning.
Two rooms have been rented by the Water
Committee.
At the new office, the arrangements will
be more convenient for the public. There
will be two pay windows and two clerks
to receive money. This district will be so
divided that part will pay at one window
and part at the other. Belmont street be
ing the dividing line of the territory north
and south. This division and having two
clerks when the cash Is being received
will facilitate business and enable the
customer quickly to obtain his water re
ceipt. The second room will be used for
storage purposes. The office has been lo
cated In the Raffety building, on East Oak
street, for about 13 years. It was located
there before consolidation and up to the
present time. No doubt It will require
some time to educate people to go to the
new office In the Holman building. When
first located In the Raffety building, the
East Side Water Company was in charge,
and only about 1200 householders paid for
water. Afterwards the city took over the
plant and also the 'East Portland Water
Company's business. Now more than 6000
pay for water at this office.

Mrs. D. Murphy, who lives at 295 Ivoft

Kansas, I was greatly troubled wKh kid
ney complaint. At that time I was, I
might say, perfectly helpless for months.
I but In time It wore away as mysteriously
as it came. It did not bother me again
, until last Fall, when there was every
i symptom of Its return, and, knowing
I what I had suffered formerly, I began to y
1 look around for something to check ir
and on looking over the paper I noticed
Doan's Kidney Pills highly recommended,
so I procured them, and took them as di

treatment to ward off the attack. Since
then I have recommended Doan's Kid
ney Pills to a number of my friends."
