TO FORM NEW
ORGANIZATION
St. Petersburg Reds Confess Defea
by Government.
National Congress Planned and Elab
orate Details of Battle Against
Government Formulated Meeting
Held in Finland Sed Sunday To
Be Day of Mourning.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 4. The gen
eral meeting of the Workmen's counci
and of representatives of tbe proletariat
organizations, which was held across
the Finnish border, lasted for 36 hours,
adjourning only an hour ago. The
practical result of the meeting was a
confession that the government had
proved too strong in its fight against
the strikers and the proletariat organ
izations, and that it would be neces
sary to organize on a new basis the
armed revolution, to which the dele
gates to the meeting were committed.
A new Council of Workmen, con
sisting of 150 members, was elected
Similar councils will be organized
everywhere, following which a general
congress will be elected, and an elab
orate plan of battle against the gov
ernment formulated.
Just prior to the adjournment of the
meeting a resolution was passed to
turn the anniversary of January 22
(Red Sunday) into a day of mourning
For this purpose an -.ppeal will be
made to the Socialist workmen's organ
izations, both in Furope and the Unit
ed States, to manifest their sympathy
with the Kussian revolutionaries by
bolding demonstrations on Monday
NEW MALHEUR. PROJECT IS UP.
Valley May Be Irrigated, Excluding
Wagon Road Land.
Washington, Jan. 4. The Keclama
tion Eervice has not abandoned hope of
building part of the Malheur irrigation
project in Eastern Oregon. Upon its
recommendation the secretary of the
interior has withdrawn from entry
about 20,0.00 acres on the Upper Mal
heur river, as follows: Township 21
south, range 36 east, sections 27, 28
and 34; township 23 south, range 36
east, sections 2, 3, 1 1 , 1 2, 1 3, 1 4, 22,
23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 35, 36; township
22 south, range 37 east, sections 3J
and 31; township 23 south, range 36
east, sections 1, 2, 11, 12, 13, 24;
township 23 south, range 37 east, sec
tions 5, 6, 7, 8, 18, 19.
This withdrawal does not include the
lands embraced in the wagonroad
grant, and it is possible a project may
be devised which will enable the gov
ernment to irrigate considerable vacant
public land without waiting for wagon
road landowners to come to time. This
move ia being made at ilie request of
the Oregon senators, who have twice
conferred with the Reclamation service
in the hope of having sometUing done
on the Malheur project.
GERMANY PREPARES FOR WAR.
-Gives Rush Orders for Large Num
ber of Cars.
Berlin, Jan. 4. The railway admin
istration placed orders last wek for
20,000 height cars, at a cost of $50,
000,000, witli manufacturers of five
countries, stipulating delivery by the
middle of February. Besides utilizing
the car works of Germany, the con
tracts were distributed among makers
in Belgium, Holland, Switzerland and
Italy, which would not have been done
unless some reason for haste exists.
Inquiries made regarding the reasons
for urgency resulted in obtaining the
statement that the ordering of the cars
was a precautionary measure, the gen
eral staff desiring to be ready to move
troops if necessary by the first of
March. Tnis is only a proper measure
of prudence, it was arflimed, in view
of the extensive military arrangements
going on in France, which, among
other dispositions, include the move
ment toward the German frontier of
dx regiments of artillery, or 180 guns.
Millions May Starve.
Victoria, B. C., Jan. 4. The famine
in North Japan ia causing thousands to
atarve, according to advices received
today by the steamer Empress of Japan
A government report says Miyagi, Fu
kushima and Iwate provinces, with a
population of 2,821 ,575, are confront
ing the worst famine since the deadly
one of 60 years ago. Already thous
ands in these three provinces are re--dueed
to shrub roots and bark of trees
to sustain life, and 1,000.000 people
are in extreme condition The misery
arising is indescribable.
Snow Blocks Northern Lines.
St. Paul, Jan. 4. A heavy snow
storm prevailed here today and tonight
continues with unabated force. Drifts
three feet in depth have Mocked some
of the street car lines and on others
traffic is maintained with great diffi
culty. The temperature, however, is
xmparatively mild. Specials from
points in Minnesota and Wisconsin pay
the storm is the most severe in five
years. At Red Wing, Minn., a snow
fall of 18 inches is reported.
America Guards Against Plague.
Victoria, It. C, Jan. 4. American
quarantine officers at Yokohama have
notified steamship companies there
that no persons who arrive in Yoko
hama via Osaka or vicinity will be al
lowed to proceed to America unless
they remain-in Yokohama a week and
their health is certified to.
CONGRESS RESUMES.
House fakes Utp Consideration of
Philippine Tariff Bill.
Washington, Jan. 4. The cause of
the Filipino was advanced on the floor
of the house by the Republican leader,
Payne, for nearly four hours today.
He represented the views of the major
ity of the ways and - means committee
on the Philippine tariff reducing the
duties on sugar and tobacco to 25 per
cent of the Dingley tariff rates and ad
mitting other products of the islands
to the United States iree of duty. Be
fore and following Mr. Payne's speech
brief discussions indicated that there is
to be a protracted debate on the meas
ure, and that the Republican opponents
representing the cane and beet sugar
interests of this country will speak
and vote against the bill.
In the Senate.
Washington, Jan. 4. After waiting
for almost a year, R. M. La Follette
appeared in the senate when it recon
vened today, after the holiday recess, to
claim his seat as senator from Wiscon
sin, and the oath of office was admin
istered to him by Vice President Fair
banks. The ceremony was witnessed
by a crowded gallery, which manifest
ed much interest in the proceedings.
After La Follette had signed the
oath which he had taken, he waB again
joined by Spooner and escorted to the
seat assigned him among those Repub
licans who have seats on the Demo
cratic side of the chamber.
Assignments of La Follette and
Gearin to committees was made as fol
lows:
La Follette Potomac river front,
chairman; census, civil service, claims,
immigration, Indian affairs andjjpen-
sions.
Gearin Claims, pensions, forts and
fortifications, industiiial expositions,
national banks and District of Colum
bia. Simmons resigned from the last
named committee to make room for the
Oregon senator.
Ihe senate discussed at some length
a proposition to reprint a magazine ar
ticle by Newlands, entitled "A Demo
crat in the Philippines," and also a
resolution for the regulation of senate
patronage. Both were adopted. A
resolution calling for information con
cerning the status of affairs in Santo
Domingo was presented by Tillman,
who made an unsuccessful effort to se
cure immediate consideration of it.
Gallinger had expected to open the
debate upon the merchant marine
shipping bill today, but, when the bill
was laid before the senate, he asked to
be excused from talking until next
Monday, when the bill will be formally
taken up as the unfinished business.
After a brief executive session, the
senate adjourned until Monday.
BRITAIN READY TO STRIKE.
Would Have Smashed Rojectvensky if
Togo Had Lost.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 5. The remark
able allegation that the British fleet
was held in readiness to destroy the
Russian fleet, if the battle of the Sea of
Japan had gone in the Russians favor,
is made by Admiral Rojestvensky in a
etter published in the hovoe v remya
oday with the permission of the min
ister of marine.
Referring to the absolute secrecy of
Admiral Togo in regard to the disposi-
ion of his forces, Rojestvensky de
lares that "this was unknown even to
le admiral of the British fleet allied
with the Japaneee, who concentrated
his lorces at Wei Hai Wei, in expeeta-
ion of receiving an order to annihilate
the Russian fleet, if this, the final ob-
ect of Great Britain, was beyond the
power ot the Japanese."
From Admiral Rojestvensky s ac
count of his tactics in the battle ot the
Sea of Japan, the reader a almost
convinced that the Russian commander
outmaneuvered Admiral Togo at every
point, and was himself tha real victor.
He delares he knew Admiral Togo s
exact whereabouts two days before the
battle, made his disposition according-
and entered the fight with his eyes
pen.
Mr. Spring-Rice, the British charge
d'affairs, without waiting for instruc
tions from his government, demanded
an explanation from Foreign Minister
I.amsdorff this afternoon of the state
ments contained in the admiral's letter
to the Novoe Vremya.
Great Printing Trust in East.
Cincinnati, Jan. 5. The United
States Printing company, capital $3,
376,300, one of the largest concerns of
its kind in the country, w'll be leased
to the United States Printing company,
of New Jersey, if the stockholders . on
February 1 ratify the action of th di
rectors announced today. The com
pany has plants in Brooklyn, Mont
clair, N. J., Norwood and Cincinnati.
The total output is estimated to be
nearly $2,500,000 annually. The new
holding company will take over all the
plants of the company.
Philippine Tariff Up.
Washington, Jan. 4. Both branches
of congress will convene at noon today
after a holdiay recess of two weeks.
The leaders of the house have decided
that the Philippine tariff bill shall be
first considered. It will be reported
without any rule to limit debate, and
amendments may le offered ad libitum.
It had been the intention to start with
the statehood bill, but Mr. Hamilton,
chairman of the committee, is not
quite ready to report that measure.
Strikes Bankrupt Big Iron Works.
Paris, Jan. 5. The correspondent of
the Journal at St. Petersburg sends an
interview with an official of the Puti
loff Iron works, who declares that the
establishment will be closed from Jan
uary 13, owing to the impossibility of
carrying on the works after the losses
caused by the strike. '
SENATORS DARE
NOT REVOLT
Break Between President and
gress not Likely.
Con-
Two-Thirds of Senate Are Soon to
Be Re-Elected, and Opposition to
Roosevelt's Policy Means Political
Death to Many of Them Com
promise Most Likely.
Washington, Jan. Two-thirds of
the United States senate will come up
for re-election within the next three
years, and of this total 34 are Republi
cans. IhiB fact is likely 10 have con
siderable influence upon the ultimate
stand taken this winter by the senate
on measures advocated by the president
and endorsed by the people. It does
not necessarily mean that the senate
will fall in line and follow the lead of
the president, but it points to such ac
tion, and the wise observers, after
studying the situation, think they can
see the senate supporting the president
on the large issues now up for consid
eration. During the first weeks of the session
it looked very much as if the senate
would take issue with the president
on many important questions of legis
lation. There were unpleasant words
regarding the Panama canal; there
were murmuringB about the presi
dent's course regarding Santo Domin
go: and behind it all considerable
private comment upon the president's
railroad rate policy as outlined in his
message. Many senators have reached
the conclusion that tbe president is
recklessly usurping the powers of con
gress to some extent, and they have dis
played evidence of ugliness on that ac
count. For a time it looked as if there
would be revolt.
But will there be? Rather, will not
the senate fall in line and follow the
lead of the president? It is a serious
thing for the party in power to break
with its president, and such a move is
more apt to injure those senators and
representatives of the insurgent class
than it is to injure the president.
What is more, the party in power must
suffer from any such revolt. These
things are being carefully weighed, and
there are those who now predict that
there will be no break between congress
and the president, unless it may be on
the railroad rate lseue, and even on
that issue a compromise is more likely
than an open rupture.
KILLED BY BOMB.
Ex-Governor Steunenberg, of Idaho,
Victim of Dastardly Outrage.
Boise, Jan. 2. Frank Steunenberg,
ex-governor ol the state, was killed
Saturday evening at his home in the
suburbs of Caldwell. A dynamite bomb
had been placed at his front gate with
some contrivance by which it exploded
as he entered. Both legs were blown
off and he lived but 20 minutes.
There is no known reason for the
outrage, but it is charged to some
member of the lamous inner circle of
the Coeur d'Alene dynamiters, whom
he prosecuted so releutlessly in 1899,
while he was governor. Governor
Gooding is in communication with the
authorities of that county and is pre
pared to put the full support of the
state behind the officials there in run
ning down the perpetrators of the
crime.
It is thought probable that the lead
ing detective agency of the country
will be asked to send some of their
best men to the scene and the state
will offer as great a reward as the gov
ernor may find he has power to pro
pose. Steunenberg was governor of the
state frvom 1897 to 1901, having been
twice elected. He was born in Iowa
44 years ago and had been in Idaho
since 1887. He left a wife and three
children.
Anarchy on Siberian Road.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 2. Warning
news his been received from Siberia.
It is reported authoratively that the
Siberian railroad is disorganized as far
as Cheliabinsk. Railway stations have
been pillaged by soldiers and sailors.
General anarchy prevails along the
line, and trains are being run with
great delays and uncertainty. At Ir
kutsk there has been a general head-ing-up
of the line, and robbery and
pillage have made the place almost
untenable. Disasters of the worst
kind are feared along the whole line.
Morales Lands Forces.
Cape Haytien, Hayti, Jan. 2. Con
firmation has been received of the re
port that Morales' cruiser Independen
cia yesterday landed 250 men near
Puerto Plata and in the name of Presi
dent Morales notified the governor of
Puerto Plata that the cruiser would
attack the port by sea and bv land if
it did not surrender within 24 hours.
The American warship off Puerto Data
will not interfere with the operations
of the Independencia.
Smoot Confident of Result.
Washington, Jan. 2. Senator Smoot,
of Utah, believes that when a vote is
taken in the senate upon the question
of his right to retain his seat, lie will
come out victorious. He expressed
himself as anxious that the test be
speedily made. The call issued by
Chairman Burrows of the committee
on privileges and elections for a meet
ing Saturday, has brought np public
interest.
RENEW WAR ELSEWHERE.
Rebels Say Moscow Revolt Showed
Weakness of Government.
Chicago, Jan. 3. The Daily News'
St. Petersburg correspondent says:
Revolutionary leaders disclaim the
initiative in the Moscow insurrection.
One of them, M. Gilliaroff, who has
just returned from that city, reports
to the St. Petersburg committee that
General Doubasoff carried out the mas
sacres upon plana agreed upon by
Count Witte and Minister Durnovo, of
the Interior department. Discovering
that the additions to their pay of 20
or 30 kopecks monthly had not satis
fied the troops, and that mutinies
were continuing, the government de
cided that military on interior duty
should receive twelve-fold wages, and
that the police should be given special
rewards. Simultaneously the govern
ors and their subordinates were empow
ered to declare martial law at any time
on their own responsibility. Thus the
whole empire was put in a state of
siege.
This encouraged the police and sol
diers to provoke riots by attacking
peaceful meetings and bombarding the
buildings. Drunken dragoonB butch
ered everybody, then the people joined
the revolutionaries and built barri
cades, and the massacre went on.
The chief of the revolutionaries, M.
Sokoloff, said:
The Moscow demonstration disclosed
the weakness of the government. Dur
ing an entire week cavalry, artillery,
police, reactionary volunteers, generals,
admirals and statesmen failed to over
come a badly armed force of 3,000
workmen, while the people remained
neutral. We shall begin again in some
place like Odessa or Kieff, where there
are fewer troops and more workmen,
and where the people sympathize with
us. In the fighting at the Nevsky
works the other day the losses of the
soldiers were greater than ours. The
fact that the garrisons at Krasnoyarsk
has joined the revolution shows that
the czar's forces are decreasing, while
ours are growing.
AGREE TO STOP REBATES.
Big Three Insurance Companies Will
Make Cleveland Referee.
New York, Jan. 3. An agreement
to abolish rebating on premiums has
been entered into by the New York
Life Insurance company, the Fiquitable
Life Assurance society and the Mutual
Life Insurance company. Announce
ment was made today that Grover
Cleveland has been been appointed
referee to decide all questions in dis
pute that may arise in such matters
and that his salary will be $12,000 per
annum, to be paid jointly by the three
companies. Mr. Cleveland has ac
cepted with the understanding that
the officers of the three companies are
to second his efforts to Btop rebating.
A similar appointment was held by the
late Thomas B. Reed.
Any agent who gives rebates will be
dismissed from the service and will not
be re-employed by any of the com
panies, it is the desire oi the com
panies to secure the co Oj.eration of all
other life insurance companies to this
agreement. It was said today that, if
rebatin can be entirely abolished, the
first year premiums can be reduced.
SUBMIT PLAN FOR BIG CUT.
Stevens Willi Advise Canal Commis
sion Bring Labor From Spain.
Washington, Jan. 2. The Isthmian
Canal commission held a short session
today. Chief Fngineer Stevens, who
came to Washington to present his
views to the commission on the type
of canal that should be constructed,
was requested to submit any project
which he may have for the excavation,
removal and final disposition of the
excavated material to be taken out of
Culebra cut in a canal with a summit
of 85 feet above low tide, and also to
inform the commission whether or not
he has worked out or has a project for
a sea level waterway.
The commission authorized the
chairman to appoint a committee to
review, appraise, condemn or dispose
of material left on the isthmus by the
old French company, which must ne
cessarily be removed.
The experiment proposed for securing
labor from the north of Spain was ap
proved .
Decision on Irrigation Law.
Washington, Jan. 3. In an opinion
by Justice Brewer, the Supreme court
of the United States today affirmed the
decision of the Supreme court of Ari
zona in the case of Howard vs. Ferrin,
involving the right to use seepage water
for irrigation. A statute giving the
right to appropriate for purposes of ir
rigation water "from any convenient
river, creek or stream of running
water" gives no right to sink a well,
collect in it the water percolating
through the soil and dTaw it off in
pipes or aquias for irrigation purposes.
Reprimand for Young.
Washington, Jan. 3. Secretary B n
aparte has acted upon the proceeding"
of the court martial in the case of
Commander I.ncien Young, of the Ben
nington, who was tried on charges
connected with the fatal explosion on
that vessel at San Diego last summe'.
The court found Commander Young
guilty of a part of the specifications
alleging negligence o duty and sen
tenced him to receive a letter of repri
mand. Earthquakes in Austria.
Vienna, J n. 3. A series of earth
quake shocks were felt at about 5:.0
this morning at Agram, Gilli, Laibch,
Marburg and Gratz. Buildings cracked

A Little Lesson
In Patriotism
Among those colonists who were dis
tinguished for their opposition to the
rule of England before the revolution
few were more
conspicuous than
Henry Laurens. To
his Influence was
due the prompt
ness with which
his native State,
South Carolina,
Joined Issue with
her sister States
for the cause of
freedom. Laurens
was a man of great
wealth and held In
iicMtr laubeks. the highest esteem
In the colony. While he was In Lon
don In 1774 he was one of the thirty
eight Americans who drew up a peti
tion to dissuade the British parliament
from passing the Boston port bill. ,
On his return to Charleston Laurens
was etected a member of the first pro
visional congress and drew up a form
of association to be signed by all the
friends of liberty. In 1776 he was
elected as delegate to the continental
congress, which he served as prvsldent
after the resignation of John Hancock.
In 1779 Iaurens was appointed min
ister to Holland to negotiate a treaty
with that country. He was seized
while on shipboard. He threw his pa
pers overboard, but tboy were recover
ed and gave proof of his mission. He
was taken to London and Imprisoned
In the Tower for nearly fifteen months.
When his son, John Laurens, was sent
to Paris as an envoy his father was
told that If he advised his son to
withdraw from this mission his
confinement would be made only
nomlnaj and was offered favor
and money. He replied that his son
would never sacrifice honor, even to
save his own or his fathers lire.
QUEEN MAUD OF NORWAY.

In these few words Princess Maud
sketched her own character more
clearly than any biographer could
have done In three volumes, says a
London correspondent.

King Edward's youngest daughter
was on a visit to Norway. She Is In

danger, the picturesque fiord not for
from Bergen.
Deservedly known as the prettiest
of the king's daughters. Princess
Maud long before her marriage to
Prince Charles of Denmark had gain
ed a reputation for originality. In her
childhood she was always the life and
soul of the English family party.
Apparently the only shade on her
early life was the totally Inadequate
supply of dolls allowed to her and her
sisters. So austere was their training
that very few toys were allowed and
no luxuries whatever. The Marquis
of Lome, however, managed to smug
gle some fascinating dxlls Into the
hands of the princess, and as the
youngest of the family she enjoyed a
few privileges which were denied to
her sisters.
The simple training of early days
may have been responsible for her
avowed dislike to all ceremony. So
entirely unaffected Is her manner
that on more than one occasion people
have been entirely deceived by It. For
instance, a stolid official once declined
to allow her to say "good I've"' to the
k.ilser when he was leaving W'olferton
s'ation. being unable to believe that
the young lady In the simple tailor
made dress, and whom he had seen
driving to the station In a dog cart,
could be a princess.
On another occasion, when she was
cycling In one of the royal parks, she
was stopped by a conscientious police
man who felt considerable nervous
ness when he discovered later the
Identity of the bicycling trespasser. It
is also related, with what truth It is
difficult to say, that at one time, when ;
under the assumed name of Miss
Mlils. she was staying with an old
friend, a youthful clergyman, lniagiu-

station, fell seriously In lore, and on
day startled her by a proposal.
Open-air sport of all kinds attracted
her from her earliest days. When quits
young she was a plucky rider, and
used to set her brothers, Prince
Oeorge and the late Duke of Clarence,
a lively pace.
Though the open-air life has always
been the one of her choice, she is a
bard reader, and Is also to be Included
In the list of royal suth of esses. In
Denmark much of her time was given
to writing, and under the nom de
plume of "Graham Irving" she was
the author of one play.
It has often been confidently stated
that on two occasions the prospective
crown of an belr-apparent was laid at
her feet In vain, and more than on
minor potentate would have been (lad
to have remained In England as the
accepted wooer of the king's youngest
daughter.
Acute Neuralgia. The quickest
method of obtaining relief Is to pro
cure one ounce of sal ammoniac and
four ounces of camphor water. Take
one teaspoonful In water every five
minutes until relieved.
Bolls. Sulphide of calcium Is fre
quently used and with good effect. A
one-fifth grain pill should be taken ev
ery three hours. A liberal dose of
rocbelle salts should also be taken be
fore breakfast several times a week.
To Remove Warts. This may be ac
complished by rubbing them night and
morning with a moistened piece of mu
riate of ammonia. They soften and
dwindle away, leaving no such mark
as follows their dispersion with lunar
caustic.
Nasal Catarrh. Into a half pint of
boiling water dissolve a teaspoonful of
boracic acid and a salt spoonful of
salt Use three times a day lukewarm
by pouring Into the palm of the hand
and snuffle Into the head or by using
an atomizer.
Bunions. The best treatment Is to
apply tincture of Iodine every two or
three days. When the skin peels off
withhold treatment for a week, mean
while wearing cotton wool or a proper
bunion plaster to prevent all pressure.
Sufferers from these painful enlarged
toe joints should be careful to wear
good, soft boots which fit well.
For Breaking Up a Cold. Anything
that will set the blood Into active cir
culation Is good for a cold. Bathe the
feet In hot water and drink hot wa
ter, or hot lemonade, on going to bed;
take a salt water sponge bath and re
main in a warm room; bathe tbe face
iu very hot water every five mlnutea
for an hour or so; snuff hot salt water
up the nose every hour or two. Four
or five hours' exercise In the open air
Is often effective. Four or five grains
of quinine taken at night will usually
have a good effect A vapor bath, fol
lowed by a cool sponge bath, is good.
In bathing, one should be careful not
to get chilled.
Freezing and Frost Bites. A point
to bear In mind is that, in case of freez
ing or frost bite, heat must never be
applied st first. Aim at gradual resto
ration. Use friction, with snow or Ice
or cold water, and get up all the fric
tion possible. After awhile let heat be
applied In the most gentle manner pos
sible. If, in the case of freezing, ani
mation does not return, try artificial
respiration, as in the case of drown
ing. If sores follow frost bites, treat
with some reliable ointment. If there
is much Inflammation, poultice liberal
ly. It is risky to rub frozen skin too
hard. A safer way is to hold snow
against the frozen spot with the warm
hand till it melts and thus gradually
suck out the frost. Friction of tbe
surrounding skin may be necessary to
restore circulation.
