CHICAGO, Jan. 13. (Special.)-Thc SL
Petersburg correspondent of the Chicago
Daily News says:
A private courier of the Czar lias ar
rived' in St. Petersburg, bringing: a con
lidcntial report from the Caucasus. To
your correspondent the messenger said:
"Tiflls and the entire Caucasus are In the
hands of the revolutionists. The severe
measures practiced by the authorities in
other jiarls of Russia are inapplicable
there. The situation is more acute and
the population Is heterogenous and fren
zied, while the garrisons arc small and
politically unreliable. The supremacy of
tlic revolutionists compelled me to discard
my military uniform and to assume the
character of an agitator carrying red
flag proclamations. On arriving at Bale:
J. again donned my uniform.
Artillery Fights Sharpshooters.
"At Petrovsk I found a battle racin
)etween the Czar's artillery and a number
of revolutionist sharpshooters. The lat

road embankment, while the former, like
tiieir comrades In Manchuria, were wast

"Not knowing how otherwise to facill
tate my progress toward SL Petersburg,
crossed the lighting line of the revolution
ists on horseback. I was attacked by two
Georgians and one Tatar. They took my
papers and searched me for more Con
scious of being in a hopeless position and
liable to be shot on my arrival In St,
Petersburg for the loss of the dispatches,
in desperation I drew my revolver, killed
the man who had the dispatches in his
possession and recovered them from his
body. Then remounting. I spurred on my
horse. Finding I was pursued. I turned
in my saddle and shot another of my as
saltan ts and escaped.
Had to Don Disguise.
"On arriving at Rostov I found the town
was no longer in possession of the au
thorlties, and I was again obliged to dis
guise myself and pay tribute to the revo
lutionary leaders for a pass. I managed
with great difficulty to reach Moscow,
where the question of supremacy between
the czar and the revolutionists was be
Ing fought out in the streets. Still, the
situation there seemed tranquil compared
to that in the Caucasus. The revolution
ists refused railroad transportation and
traveling on horseback was impossible.
owing to the lawless conditions in the
districts, so T continued on to the Tver,
disguising myself as a monk. Thence
came direct to St. Petersburg. I shall
remain here two days, awaiting the Czar's
instructions, and then return to the Cau
casus, where I trust my former experi

ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. U.-(i A. M.)
A tragedy, in which a student paid with
his life the penalty of refusing to do
honor to the old regime, took place In the
lanious restaurant. "The Bear." shortly
after midnight. The custom of watching
the old year out was observed with some
thing like the old-time festivities. The
hall was crowded and the orchestra of
Mile. Rigo. a sister of the paramour of
the Princess Chlmay, upon the stroke of
midnight, burst forth with "God Save the
imperor.
The guests, with the exception of a
student named Davidoff. a member of an
artistocratie family, arose to their feet
and the officers present demanded an en
core, being determined to turn the cclc-
oration into a loyalist demonstration.
count bherometlcff. a reactionary, an-
plied an epithet to Davidoff for refusing
iu minor im- national antiicm and pulled
his chair from under him.
Hot words followed and suddenly, in the
midst of the joyous acclamations of the
new year, the guests were startled by five
shots in rapid succession, and the corpse

able confusion followed.
Count Sherometieff. in addition to kill
ing Davidoff, wounded two women.
Three companions of Davidoff, armed
with champagne bottles, attacked the
muracrer, who, with blood' streaming
oown lils face, managed to fight his way
to the door. "Women shrieked and fainted.
The confusion culminated in a wonder
ful dramatic controversy across the bodv
of the dead student. The impassioned
spectators having ranged themselves ac
cording to their political opinions, on
either side of it, criminations and recrim
inations followed each other hotly. A
well-known courtesan, her head proudly
in the air. stamped her foot as from the
side of the loyalists she declared the
student had met his due. The climax
came when an aunt of Davidoff. who had
fainted when the boy was shot, having
regained consciousness, rushed forward
and threw herself between the disputants
and upon the body, passionately kissing
the cold, blood-stained face. A regular
panic followed.
The guests at "The Bear." manv of
whom were the most prominent society
leaders of St. Petersburg. Including a
number of diplomats, hastened away in
order to avoid being summoned as "wit
nesses. Meantime Davidoff's body" was
covered by the waiters in order to conceal
the ghastly sight, but it lay for more
than two hours and until the police ar
rived to draw up a formal complaint. A
representative of the Associated Prss.

Shcremotieff is a retired officer of the
Scminovsky Regiment of the Guards.

RUSSIA GETS HELP IX PARIS
Temporary Loan or $.10,000,000 to
Maintain Gold Standard.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 33. Confirma
tion has been received of the report that
cx-Minlster Kokovscff -has been partially
successful In his mission to Paris. A
credit of $50,000,000 has been obtained from
the French bankers, with the assurance
of an Increase in the amount, should it

strictly as operation between the Suae
Bank of Russia and the French "banks,
whereby the sum stated is placed to the
credit of the State Bank as an advance,
pending the time when the government
can contract a regular loan.

mania for criticising every act of the gov

ing Premier Wltto for trying to maintain
the gold standard, the Novoo Vremya de
claring thai it Is a senseless policy, likely
to fall in the end, and asserting that It la

Pined for Contempt "While Arguing
Greene and Gaynor Case.
SAVANNAH. Ga.. Jan. 13. The pleas In
abatement to indictments Nos. A7S and 477
against Greene and Gaynor were read this
morning soon after the convening of the
Federal Court. The pleas set up that
these bills of indictment had not been le
gally returned on the ground that the
Jurors were drawn rom among residents
of the southwestern division of the south
ern district of Georgia, whereas they
served in the eastern district, wherein
they returned the indictments against the
defendants, and that the court had no
right to appoint the two special commis
sions to prepare the special grand jury
list that had been prepared, on the order
of the court The defendants say that the
grand Jurors were therefore illegally
drawn and had no right to return Indict
ments. Special Assistant Attorney-General Mar
Ion Erwin argued the Government's de
murrer to these pleas.
When Mr. Erwln closed his argument.
A. A. Lawrence, of counsel for the ac
cused, read a written reply, which devel
oped a sensation. Mr. Lawrence charged
that in the 'appointment of special jury
commissioners the court had named W.
S. West, of Valdosta, who was a bitter
pollitcal enemy of W .W. Osborne, Law
rence's law partner. He strongly intimat
ed that this had prejudiced the case of
the defendants.
Judge Speer waited until this part of the
lawyer's argument bad been finished and
then interrupted, declaring that the law
yer's remarks were improper and con
temptuous, and he ordered the clerk to
enter a fine of 5100 against Mr. Lawrence
for contempt. Judge Speer asserted that
Mr. "West was one of the most prominent
men in Southwestern Georgia, president of
the Georgia Senate and ex-L5eutenant-Governor
of the State. Judge Specr said he
would not tolerate Innuendoes and Insult
by counsel in his presence.
Mr. Lawrence concluded his argument
after the Imposition of the fine, making
no apology for the inntn ! ,v..i,...,j
Judge Speer then announced a recess to
tuusiaer me matters presented.

Only Hope of Modernizing China Is
Opinion or Haynshi.
LONDON. Jan. 12. (SpccJaL)-The pub
lication of the Chinese-Japanese treaty Is
an Important event, supplementing the
treaty of Portsmouth. Viscount Hayashi.
the Japanese Ambassador to the court of
SL James, said to a correspondent:
"The chlcr object of Japan in this sup
plementary treaty was to open all ports
of Manchuria to foreign trade and so get
all the powers interested In the continued
independence of this part of the Chinese
Empire. China herself will be unable for
many years, perhaps centuries, to protect
her own Interests. I do not believe the
glowing reports of the new military devel
opment in China. Such reports have
cropped up frequently during the last 30
years, but have never been realized. Re
member that the Manchu dynasty depends
for its existence upon the obliteration of
military spirit among the Chinese. If that
spirit took root, the dynasty would in
stantly be destroyed. Therefore, what
ever outward steps may be taken, the
Manchu government will always oppose
real military reform.
"China's only possibility of becoming a
Mrong military power lies in the abolition
of the Manchu dynasty, and there is rea
son to suppose that this will happen in
the near future. In other respects the
v.niucsc remain impervious to western
thought. For example. Wu Tine- Fiintr-r.
turned from Washington full of Western
Ideas and became secretary of the Wa Wu
Pu, or new Foreign Office, at Pekln. but It
was soon discovered that ho was too pro
foreign and he was removed to the crim
inal department.
mere is nothing new In the recent
antl-forelgn outbreak at Shanghai. The
uoycoti oi American goods Is the natural
outcome of the Immigration laws in Amer
ica, and nothing can be done to prevent
It except an alteration of the Immigration
laws. Any idea of the United States using
"" uic ooycott is absurd."
BITTER AGA1XST AMERICA.
Missionaries Say Chinese Arc Carry
ing on Negative "War.
OAKLAND. Jan. 13. The Rev. Arthur
Smith, a missionary' in China who re
turned yesterday on the Siberia. Is visit
ing mends in this city. The missionary
said last night:
anc strong anu-rorelgn feeling in
t hlna is due In a large part to the de
feat of Russia by Japan. The Chinese
are awakening to the fact they arc not a
subject people.
"The feeling against the United States
is very bitter because .of the exclusion
act. xnis reeling Is heightened by Imag
inary wrongs and exaggerated descrip
tions of Indignities heaped on Chinese in
this country, as sent home b- the Chi
nese in the United States.
"But China as a whole lias come to the
oeuei mat it is easier and cheaper to
carry on a negative war against the
I nlted States than to attack missions and
kill missionaries. The country has learned
that where there Is no violence there Is
no punishment to folio;?. This feeling is
confined to the coast cities, however, and
I do not believe that It would be irafo
for an American to venture into the in
terior provinces.
"What the more Intelligent Chinese
want Is that the exclusion act shall be
Intelligently interpreted, and shall be en
forced only against those classes whom It
Is meant to affect."

STAMPING OUT THE BOYCOTT
Imperial Decree Meets Approbation
of State Department.
WASHINGTON. Jan. J3. Advices from
China to the State Department arc to the
effect that very slowly but surely the
antl-Amcrlcau boycott movement is being

RHEUMATISM
Rheumatism docs not come on in a day; the n KUnuCOl
causes that produce it work silently in the system for years. This insidious
disease becomes intrenched in the blood, and some exposure to cold or damp
weather, or slight indiscretion brings on an attack. Poor digestion, stomach,
troubles, weak Kidneys, torpid Liver, and a general sluggish condition of
the system are responsible for Rheumatism. Food souring in the stomach
poisons the blood, the failure of the Kidneys and Liver to act properly leaves
waste matter and impurities in the system, which, coming in contact with,
the natural acids of the body, form uric acid. This is absorbed by the blood,
and as it penetrates to the muscles, nerves and bones produces the terrible
pains and aches and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism. Life is
madea torture by its excruciating pains, nerves are shattered, the health un
dermined, andif the disease is not checked it breaks down the strongest con
stitution. It will not do to depend on plasters, liniments, etc.; such, treatment
is helpful in easing the pain and reducing the inflammation, but does not

SIX COUNTS AGAINST HIM
Man Xow Serving Sentence of One
Year for Fatal Fight to Be
Tried for Other Viola
tions of Kulcs.
ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 13. The sensation of
the present wries of trials of alleged
hazcrs appeared this morning when It be
came known that the next case to be
brought before the court would be that
of Midshipman Minor Meriwether, Jr..
of Lafayette. La., the third classman,
whose trial on. charges connected with
a rtstfight with Midshipman James R.
Branch, after which the latter died, at
tracted much attention.
Meriwether Is now serving confinement
of a yar In the Naval Academy, to
i Y?h e was silenced In connection
with the Branch mattor.
All the offenses charged against him
are alleged to have occurred during Sep
tember last.
No offenTO of any kind has been charged
!gain&t Meriwether since the sad affair
wan young Branch. The charge against
mm is or hazing, under the act of 1S74.
and there is no charge of "encouraging
or countenancing hazing" under the act
of There are six specifications,
which run the whole gamut of the hazing
practice?, and each specification alleges
the hazing of a different midshipman of

-MILLER TRIAL GOES OX.
Kentucky Midshipman Makes Fight
for His Vindication.
ANNAPOLIS. Md.. Jan. 13. The court
martial which took up the case of Mid
shipman John Paul Miller, of Lancaster.
Ky.. charged with hazing, resumed Its
sessions this morning. The specifications,
the lack of proper form In which caused
the postponement of the case yesterday,
had been corrected at the office of the Su
pcrltnendent. and the case proceeded. Mil
ler introduced as his counsel Colonel
Charles H. Lauchheimer. IT. S. M. C. and
Mr. Theall. of Washington. D. C.
It Is alleged that Miller hazed Stanley
R. Canine, of Llano. Tex.; Henrv G.
Cooper. Jr.. of Oxford. N. C: Max B.
Demott. of NUes. Mich., and John F. Don
elson. of Pawnee. Okla.. by compelling
tlichi to perform' No. 16 together. Miller,
if he Is acquitted, will graduate February
12. and his scholastic standing will not be
below No. 3 In the class of over ICO.
. On being arraigned. Miller stated that
he wished to plead through his counsel,
and Colonel Lauchheimer then interposed
a demurrer on the ground that the facts
alleged under the charge do not constitute
hazing. Colonel Lauchheimer addressed
the court on this contention. He occu
pied about one hour In his argument to
show that maltreatment In a physical
sense was the grave feature of hazing,
and that, as this was not alleged In the
specifications, the demurrer should be
granted. The court overruled the demur
rer, holding, as bad been held In other
cases, that any molestation or annoyance
of a fourth-class man by an upper class
man was hazing. Miller pleaded riot
guilty to the charges and specifications.
The first witness was Demott. He said
he had been Ifi Miller's room one night,
having been told to go there Imitating an
automobile, with Canine. Cooper and Don
clson. Canine was the headlight. Cooper
was a chauffeur, and Oonclson was the
horn and Demott the exhaust. "Cooper
was supposed to twist Donelson's ear to
stop, but he fell down, and we went
around the room several times. Miller
then told us to do the 'IS. and we did it.
He told us to go and report at Boyd's
room at 5:30. Several times after that we
were In his room and had to do the '16 "
The first hazing, he said, took place short
ly after the West Point game, December
. 1S05. ,
At the conclusion of Dcmott's testi
mony, the court complimented him on the
manly and straightforward manner In j
Hincii no nan given nis testimony.
Cooper and Canine corroborated the
testimony of Demott.
At the request of Miller's counsel, who
said they had two witnesses for the de
fense, the trlul was continued tH Mon
day. Eour Convictions Certain.
