NEW TORK. Dec SO. While the body
of Charles T. Terkcs. millionaire traction
magnate, is lying at his mansion at Fifth
Aveane and Sixty-eighth street today,
every effort Is being made to smooth over
for tho brief time before tho funeral the
domes-tic tangle Into which the man's
queer acaso of ethics had plunged him.
The body Is at tho home of his legal wid
ow, but for the last three years 51 r.
Terkea has not entered It. nor had the
widow visited him during the last weeks
of his Illness until yesterday afternoon,
when she was informed, that he was dy
ing. JSvae. then, it is said by some, she
remained in another room until the end
came.
In the Fjfth avenue houe the widow
for tho last five months has been a pris
oner by reason oC Sir. Tcrkes desire to
divorce her. She was ordered to leave tho
mansion by Samuel Untcrroeycr, llr.
Yerkos personal counsel, and on her re
fusal. It had been threatened that gas.
water and electricity would be shut off.
Her own lawyers had told her -to remain
In the house, warning- her that advantage
might be taken of bcr absence to throw
into the street "her personal effects and
close the doors on her.
TVhen. Mr. Tcrkes returned from Europe
last August with Miss ISmllle Grtgsby, ho
announced his Intention to divorce Mrs.
Yerkcs. From that time until two weeks
ago Mrs. Terkes was obliged to stay be
hind locked doers. Many times she had
been asked Tjy telephone to come to the
Waldorf. On Sunday she finally consent
ed. It is stated sho learned Miss Grijreby
was calling on tho sick man and sho re
fused to see him. Yesterday she once
more left her handsome Jail and when she
returned the man whose legal machina
tions she feared was dead.
Mrs. Yerkcs would see no reporters to
day, but she telephoned to her friends
explaining to them the reason for her
failure to visit her husband. To nearly
every one the news that sho bad been a
prisoner In the mansion came as a sur
prise. The attempt at getting a divorce
last Summer had been kept secret, and
very few persons were aware of tho last
chapter In the millionaire's marital af
fairs. At the Grigsby homo a negro but
lcr said that Miss Grtsby was not in, and
he did not know where she was. "She
may make a statement to the press lat
er," the man volunteered.

MOSCOW, Dec. 30. (6:30 P. M.)
Governor-General Doubassoff today as
sumed the offensive against the revolu
tionary stronghold In tho northwestern
or Prcsna quarter and all day the Inhab
itants of the city have been listening to
the thunder of cannon and the rattle of
small arms. At this writing llring; is
still audible but more distant, and the
lurid glare in the heavens shows that
many structures arc in flames.
It was essentially a surprise attack.
During the night artillery and machine
guns moved to the streets leading to the
Prcsna district, all of which were heav
ily barricaded, and at 4 o'clock this
morning the troops began an advance,
clearing the way ruthlessly. By 10
o'clock most of the region had been
cleared and the main body of the In
surgents and strikers had been driven
Into the ProkhaxofT cotton mills, an im
mense establishment which was for
tified to stand a siege.
Factory Kcduccd to lluins.
A smaller force of the revolutionaries
held the Komsoff. another four-story
factory, in Kudrinsky Place. The latter
vwas bombarded and . reduced . without
much difricolty. It is impossible to pen
etrate the quarter as the plckots have
the strictest orders to allow no ono to
pass.
The artillery Are was resumed at 2
o'clock this afternoon and continues.
According to officers at Governor-Gen
eral DoubassotTs headquarters, the ProK-
haroff mill Is momentarily expected to
fall and It In nssertted that it la the pro
gramme to finish the revolt tonight. It
Is admitted that, tho slaughter has been
immense.
The Scmlnovsky Itcgimcnt Is said to
have distinguished Itself in many places
by storming barricades and Is the heav
iest-loser ou the sldo of the troops.
"Workmen Bttrncd to Death.
A terrible affair took place at a
workman's tea house in ovaya Dorc-
voya street near the Prcsna district. It
was surrounded by the "Black Hun
dreds," who finally nppllcd the torch and
wero watching the victims Inside con
sumed by the flames when Cossacks ar
rived on the scene.
Governor-General Doubassoff has
posted an imperial ukase guaranteeing

to" the force the government employed,
but, to a , lack of public sympathy. Si
multaneously the government announces
that the regulations for the elections to
the -national assembly have been com
pleted and will Te ' published tomorrow,
arid that everything possible will be done
to accelerate the meeting- of the Douma,
in, which the voice of the nation and not
of a single class can be heard. A member
of tho Cabinet said today:
"The result of the attempt of 'the revo
lutionists to overthrow the government
by force was never for a moment In
doubt, b'ut what has occurred and what
is' occurring; we t believe, . will have a
salutary effect on public opinion. Revo
lution will go on, but It is our purpose to
confine It to peaceful channels."
Rebel Chief Admits Blonder.
The Associated Press tonight talked
with a v prominent ' revolutionary leader
who is a leading spirit In the movement
to destroy the dynasty and It3 regime
and for whom tho police are searching.
He was unable to conceal his depression,
but nevertheless he claimed that the
movement had received only a tempo
rary check.
"We blundered badly." he said. We
fell into the trap Witte set for us. Em
boldened at the seeming paralysis of the
government, we proclaimed broadcast our
intention of preparing an armed revolu
tion for January or February- Wc vir
tually threw our cards on the table then.
Witte challenged and we rashly accept
ed before cither organization was per
fected or plans matured. It was all
too sudden and Ill-timed. The workmen
were worn out by the recent strikes,
and the holidays wore at hand, and, be
sides, we obtained neither active co-operation
'from the populace, on which we
had counted, nor from the troops, among
whom we know wo have support. It is
a bad reverse. Our most skillful lead
ers have been arrested and the supplies
of arms which wc laboriously collected
have been seized.
"But the situation has also Its bright
side, for It is the first time the prole
tariat has fought In the open against
the bayonets and cannon of the govern
ment. That Is a great victors'. The
government must not Hatter Itself that
it has dealt a decisive blow. We have
dedicated our lives to tho work, "We are
fighting not only for the emancipation of
Russia, but for the social revolution of
the world."
The elements are nqw fighting on tho
side of the government, as they did In
the days of Napoleon. The Northern
Winter with all Its rigor has set in and
the upper half of the Empire is locked
in snow and Ice and it would be dlfll
cult for the proletariat to build and de
rend barricades in"thc streets and fight a
"Wlntorcampalgn. In St. Petersburg to
night the temperaturo is 18 degrees be
low zero, and everywhere fires are burn
ing in the streets to keep the homeless
from freezing.
The attempt of "Black Hundreds" to
march into Moscow and wreak vengeance
on the revolutionaries and strikers only
tends to confirm the fears that the final
collapse of the revolt will be followed
by an awful massacre, and. although
Governor-General Doubassoff succeeded
In preventing their entry into the city to
day and will take stern measures In the
future, it will be difficult to restrain the
lower classes, who regard the rcvolu
tlonaries as enemies of the Emperor and
the country. Already rowdies are tak
ing advantage of the situation to plunder
on a large scale.
Loss of Life nt MoScow.
Governor-General Doubassoff has not
yet given the figures of the losses during
the fighting at Moscow, saying that.it is
impossible at present to more than make
a guess. However, he places the outside
limit at 30CO. The troops and police did
not suffer nearly so heavily, and It Is re
ported that up to Thursday night there
were less than 50 casualties among them
everywhere. Throughout Russia, Im
mediately on the appearance of disorders.
the authorities are declaring martial law,
making wholesale arrests and contlscat
ing arms.
The general strike seems to ba going to
pieces. It was declared off at Riga to
day and at Odessa It Is breaking- up, and
many railroads are resuming operations.
The result of the call for an armed up
rising In Poland tomorrow is awaited
with anxiety.

BY" ANDREW CARNEGEE.
(Copyright, 1003, by Central NeW3 & Press
Exchange.)
NEW TORKT, Dec. 30. It gives mc great
pleasure to subscribe a brief review of the
great events, both at home and abroad,
that have transpired during the year 1005.
Since there have been few, if any, single
years ao overwhelmingly important to the
dual cause of progress and civilization as
the one now ended, it is not only a pleas
ure but a privilego to review somo of the
many vital Issues that have arisen and
been courageously met.
First, of course, in order of importance,
has been the re-establishment of peace
ful relations between Japan and Russia;
the ceasing for a time on earth of men
slaying- each other like wild beasts in
battle, which leads us to hope that the
day is not far distant when such utter
savagery is to cease forever.
Roosevelt Great Pacificator.
We can congratulate ourselves that an
American President was the great pacifi
cator; that he placed this country in its
proper attitude the advocate of peace
as becomea a great Industrial, Jntclllgent
Republic with aims-higher "thaH'Tnose of
military or naval so-called glory.
The time I3 not so long past since every
able-bodied man went armed, just as did
every tribe of standing. It i3 not so very
Ionff since war was the ordinary occupa
tion of mankind. Even contemporary his
tory recites instances where warfare was
tho only occupation worthy of gentlemen.
Only women were earnest advocates of
peace.
But we may be thankful that tho Russo
Japanese conflict, deplorable as It was.
brought vividly before the world the utter
savagery and horror of war, with the
result that a resort to arms is becoming
more and more discountenanced. And it
Is my hope and belief that the year
1005 will be recorded In history as the
date of tho last great war between the
peoples of the earth.
Tribunal to Keep Peace.
It was a pleasure to note the other day
that the Attorney-General for Great Brit
ain indorsed International arbitration as
the safest, sanest and most practical
remedy for war, In the following words:
"It used to be said, that war is the game
of Kings. Perhaps the greatest danger
to peace is that, it thero is prolonged con
troversy over some matter, however in
significant in itself, the feelings and na
tional pride of the people of each coun
try may be involved to such an extent as
to render peaceful solution difficult or Im
possible. "When national animosities have
been awakened, any spark may kindle a
conflagration. The task of the statesman
in averting war Is Immensely facilitated It
he finds ready to his hand the machin
ery" for peaceful settlement."
How many wars might Iiavo been
averted if there had always been in. exist
ence, by the common consent of nations,
such a tribunal as that of The Hague,
whose open portals invite arbitatlon? May
wo not hope, therefore, that the existence
of this great instrument of peaco may re
move occasions for war, and that nations
will more and more recognize the truth
of the weighty words of the great Scotcn
jurist who said that Kings and states
ought not to be both Judges and parties
when others can bc had?
Victories Over Corruption.
But while war has had its victories for
the Japanese tho victories of peace, which
have been won in this country, are hardly
less noteworthy as matters for which the
American people may be thankful. In
deed, there Is cause for profound congrat
ulation upon the result of recent appeals
to the people which have overthrown nu
merous corrupt gangs pursuing public life
for private plunder. Their overthrow,
their repudiation, gives us renewed faith
In democracy. And It Is worthy of recording-
that whenever the masses are
stirred by corrupt practices brought to
light, or other sins of public commission,
their verdict may be depended upon not
as an outgrowth of hysteria, but as a vin
dication of the popular conception of Jus
tice. There is nothing so salutary as the
purifying breath of public opinion. It re
quires great abuses of publfc confidence
and startling revelations to arouse It,
but, once aroused, the verdict of the peo
ple makes the axiom true .that the voice
of the people is the voice of God, In that
it demands righteous conduct.
Riches Do Not Mean Happiness.
As a corollary to this revolt, the con
science of the people has been widely
aroused to lax business standards. The
exposures which have shocked the coun
try will, let us sincerely hope, purify the
institutlons c6ncerned and Implicated. And
