MOSCOW. Doc 23.-Midnight.)-The
situation is hourly growing worse The
Insurgents hold several qaurters of the
city and lighting continues desperately.
Two large arms stores have been pil
laged and the weapons distributed among
the men. who have orccted barricades
along the Sadovla, which circles the city.
The military has succeeded In Isolating
various sections, preventing communica
tion. From the hoights colored signal
rockets are showing instructions to the
Isolated commanders.
The searchlights on the Soukaroft and
other towers Illuminate tho streets
where tho lighting is proceeding. The
road o cannon continues. Machine guns
are being employed to clear the Sadovia.
It Is impossible to estimate the numbor
of dead and wounded, but It probably will
lun into thousands.
In a square In the heart or the city the
insurgents are making a desperate fight
from a house, using an English machine
gun from the window against a battery
which Is cannonading them.
There are many revolting do tails of
the day. At Fidlor's School, after tho
Ftudeuts had raised the white flag and
come out. they wore charged, ridden
down and sabred by the dragoons. Tho
revolutionaries retaliated wherever they
caught an officer alone, and on the slight
est resistance he was beaten Into insentd
bllity. Telegraph poles, wlros, planks, barrels
and any material available whs used in
the construction of many barricades,
which sprang up all over tho city, and.
as soon as one was destroyed, another
went up as if by magic at a distant
place. Crowds fough.t tho troops with
intenso stubbornness, using rovolvcrs
and hand grenades, but many hundreds
of persons had rifles and repeatedly Mood
their ground, oven while they were be
ing mown down by quick-firing guns.
Many Innocent persons were killed,
among them a numbor of womon. Many
bodies wore blown to pieces by shrapnel.
On Tverskia street, where the crowds
wore enfiladed, the losses were heaviest.
Girl students were conspicuous behind
the barricades, either carrying wounded
away or taking their places In the ranks
and encoring on their comrados.
REBELS' PLANS ANTICIPATED
Troops Mussed Untlcr Kremlin Walls
and Barricades Stormed.
ST. PETERSBURG. Doc. 23. (11:85 P.
M.) The situation at Moscow tonight is
exceedingly critical. A regular battle is
raging in the streets of the city and a
state of terror roigns. A telephone mos
sage just received by the Associated
Press says that the roaring of machine
guns, volleys by infantry and the boom
I;ig of cannon can be heard at Intervals.
The military seems to have the upper
hand, although there are rumors that
the gendarmerie and the Cossacks have
rt volted and refused to lire on the pooplc.
According to this tolophone massage,
which was very confused, the revolution
ary leaders had given the signal for an
r.Tned rislnc of the proletariat at C
oMock this evening, but Governor-Gen
eral Doubassoff discovered their plans
and acted quickly,. He massed 23.000 troops
of all arms In . Red place, under tho -walls
of the Kremlin, mounted machine guns In
the towers of the old Chlnoso wall, post
d artillery at intervals encircling tho
Tvenskaia boulevard and placed detach
ments of horse and light artillery at
strategic points.
The first scene of butchery occurred at
2 o'clock, when tho troops and tho can
non, which were loaded with grape, fired
Into a procession of workmon carrying
red flags and singing revolutionary songs
as they ywung Into the boulevard.
Since then there has "been almost con
tlnual fighting. The workmen threw up
barricades at -the trlumplial arch as they
passed, at two places In Trovsky street.
and at anothor place, but all were as
saulted and carried by the troops. The
principal resistance "was at the triumphal
arch, the defenders of that barricade be"-
1ns -armed only with revolvors. They held
their ground for a tlmo against the ma
chine guns.
One hundred "and twenty etudont mill
tia. who were surrounded at the FIdler
School, made a heroic stand, defending
the place with bombs and revolvers from
a window. They killed two officers and
eight soldiers and wounded many more
before they surrendered with a loss of
five killed and 13 wounded.
The outlying districts are reported to
be In complete .possession of the work
men, who are disarming all officers and
policemen caught besieging residences.
The Chief of Police saj-s to estimate the
total number of casualties would be mere
guesswork, but ho thinks they will prob
bly ruri into the hundreds.

at the instigation of secret government
agents and was certain to fail for the
reason that it had been Imperfectly or
ganized. The government, wishing to
nullify the plans of the revolutionists
lor inaugurating a strike which might
prove effective on January 22. the an
niversary of "Red Sunday." took this
means of hurrying the revolutionists into

P. 31. The convocation of the Finnish
Diet, marking simultaneously the res-1
toration of Finnish liberties and the last
appearance on the European stage of the
Parliament consisting of the four ancient
estates, the nobles, the clergy, the burgh
ers and tho peasants, was an exceedingly
picturesque affair. The Old World cere
monial was followed. Heralds made their
appearance In the streets summoning tho
estates to the magnificent cathedral,
where, amid gorgeous trappings, prayers
wen said and "To Dcum" was chanted
in the Swedish and Finnish tongues.
Thrn the estates, headed by Governor
General Gerhard and bis suites in bril
liant uniforms, marched in an Imposing
procession between cheering crowds to
