Direct telegraphic communication with Mos cow was severed last night, but the government succst-ded In restoring communication ' by round-about routes this morning. All reports agree that the fighting yesterday, which continued until -midnight, has assumed the nature of a butchery by machine guns of the armv, grape and cannlster being employed mercilessly against all armed Insurgents. Atro cious tales are told of Cossacks who. plied with vodka until drunk, 'ir'd down the streets, some times charg ing with lances. The insurgents dis played great stubbornness In holdtri their harricades even advancing en masse against certain death. Where bombs were thrown from windows artillery was summoned and havered the houses to pieces. The plan of the Insurgents, it Is stated, ts to hold the outskirts and gradually enclose tho troops Ir the center of the city. The lenders an nounce that an army of 30,000 Is con- SETTLERS WAIT FOR D. A. Bowman of Milton, has just returned from Minidoka. Idaho, where he has investigated the gov ernment Irrigation project ut that place, and la well pleased with the outlook. Two distinct projects will be car ried out at Minidoka, a gravity and pumping system. -There is no doubt the gravity or dam system, hut it is not known Just when the pumping plant will be Installed. Mr. Rowman says thot the re clamation service lately has been Im portuned by rt rtaln settlers on the Minidoka project to fix a definite date when water will bo supplied to the lands on the south side of Snake river abovo the gravity system. At no time havo tho agents of the government been able to state defin itely when a pumping plant would be installed, although the plan of con struction of the dam makes provis ions for this feature of the work. The most that could be slated was that the Installation of the pumping system would not be undertaken for several years. H has. however, been frequently stated that were It practicable to be gin the Installation of such a pump ing system Immediately, water would not he available for these high lands earlier than 1909, a delay of -.two, three or five years would obviously prolong this waiting period. The Minidoka project is not the only one Involving the lifting of water THE THOUSAND Petersburg and Moscow, But centrated at Oreschoffsueff, northeusl of Mcsicow, and will soon b ready to march to the city's assistance. The latest report is that both sides were exhausted al midnight when the fir ing ceased. The streets were in abso lute durknexB except for the search lights in towers behind barricades. Predicts Disaster, lxindon, Dec. 26. Dr. Dillon, the St. Petersburg correspon tent of the Dally Telegraph, declares "Saturday's doings In Moscow mark the most im portant manifestations In Russian an archy." Djllon believes the economic bases of Russian finances is mow about to give way with a terrific crush and that a commercial sn 1 in dustrial crisis unexampled In th ! his tory of modern states is about t-i be gin, charactcrlxed by famine. Continual Firing st MiMnw. Moscow, Dec. 26, Artillery, rifle and revolver firing continues through out the day, but the noise of the hat tie has. now somewhat abated. The guns havo bee bombarding one barricade after cnoiher, the cannon adkuff being -rollMvtMl Jy charge tiy the dragoons, who set fire to the debris. The area of the fighting to day was more extended and Includ ed Trabnols square, Sadovla. Karet nnl and many other streets. The revolutionaries apparently have not in the least lost heart, not withstanding Saturday's heavy casu alties. It is now known that R00 is s moderate estimate of the losses and mnnv more persons fell today. The revolutionaries had few suc cesses. They surnrised a force of gendarme tw on the Karetnal street today, killing or wounding 20 of them. Since then artillery has been firing uninterruptedly In that section of the city. In many enses dragoons fired Into private houses where they sus pected revolutionaries were inking refuge. In nearly every district large num bers of innocent persons were acci dentally kiUed or wounded. ljite this afternoon it was report!, vi that fighting was proceeding In tin outskirts of the city and that there were heavy losses on both sides.

J0:30 p. m., The strike of the post and telegraph employes here Is at an end. Tlie strikers have accepted the MINIDOKA PROJECT by pumping levels above the gravity system. There are many others. It has been deemed advisable by the leading engineers to hold this part of each project in abeyance pending the completion of the gravity system. To lift water In the enormous quan tities required to reclaim these ureas will necessitate the construction of pumps of larger size and greater ca pacity than ever before attempted. Ordinary business sense decrees that the experiment should not be tried until a full consideration has been given to all the engineering and me chanical features. Tho statement of this fact has been made from time to time during the past IH months, and Intending settlers have been advised and warned not to enter land which could lie irrigated only by pumping. On the Minidoka project It will be practicable in the future to reclaim the lands above und near the gravity ditches by means of a pumping system, the power to be supplied nt the dam now under con struction. The area to be reclaimed on the south Bide of Snake river by this means contains fully 50.000 acres, while nenrly half as much as this mny be reclaimed on the north side bv similar means. The actual cost of this feature of the reclamation works would not be less than $2,000,000. a sum eonsidernbly in excess of the cost of the gravity system now nearlng cotrpletlon. conditions of the government. The telegraphers resumed work today. The military governor has Issued an order prohibiting the street sales of newspapers, the singing of revolutlon ai. 1'- holding of meetings an : : .n- organising of processions.
