FIGHTING CONTINUES AT MOSCOW MACHINE GUNS CAUSE FEARFUL HAVOC IN RANKS OF REV- OLUTIONISTS. London, Dec. 26.—Dr. Dillon, the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, declares that “Saturday’s doings in Moscow mark the most im- portant manifestation in Russian an- archy.” Dr. Dillon is persuaded that the economic basis of the Russian finances are now about to give way with a ter- rific crash and that a commercial and industrial crisis, unexampled in the history of modern siates, is about to begin, chamc!enzed by a famine. SLAUGHTER IN MOSCOW. #achine Guns Made Terrible Havoc in Ranks of Rebels. St. Petersburg, Dec. 26.—The disor- ders of Saturday night in Moscow were provoked earlier than the revolution- ists desired, as Governor General Dou- bassoff had discovered the plot of the rebels to begin a new revolt at 6 o'clock at night and was prepared to meet the attack He massed 25,000 troops of all arms in Red place, under the walls of the Kremlin, mounted machine guns in the towers of the old Chinese wall, posted artillery at intervals encircling the Tverskaia boulevard and placed heavy detachments of horse and light artillery at strategic points. The first scene of butchery occurred when the troops and the cannon, which were loaded with grape, fired into a procession of workers carrying red flags and singing revolutionary songs as they swung into the boulevard. The workmen threw up barricades at the Triumphal arch, at two places in Doitrovsky street and at another place, but all were assaulted- and car- ried by the troops. The principal resistance was at the Triumphal arch, the defenders of that barricade being armed only with re- volvers, They held their ground for a time against the machine guns. The chief of police says that to esti- mate the total number of casualties would be mere guesswork, but he thinks they will probably run into the hundreds, BARRICADES BOMBARDED. Troops Generally Successful in Mos- cow Fighting. Moscow, Dec —Artillery, rifle and revolver firing continued throughout the day. The guns bombarded one barricade after another, the cannonade being followed by charges from the dragoons, who set fire o the debris The area of the fighting was more extended and included Trabnols square, Sadovia, Karetniaia and many other streets, The revolutionaries apparently have not in the least lost heart, notwith- standing Saturday's heavy casualties. It is now known that 500 is a mod- erate estimate of the losses. The revolutionaries bad few suc cesses. They surprised a force of gen darmes in Karetnaia street, killing o1 wounding twenty of them. Since then artillery has been firing uninterrupted- ly in that section of the city. In many cases dragoomns fired into private houses where they suspected revolutionaries had taken refuge. In nearly every district large num bers of innocent persons were Kkilled or wounded. INSURGENTS STUBBORN, Advance in Face of Mer Machine Gun: 8t. Petersburg, Dec. 26.—Direct tele- graphic communication with Moscow ‘was severed for a time but the govern- ment succeded in restoring communi- cation by a roundabout route. All re- ports agree that the fighting Sunday, which continued until midnight, as- sumed the nature of a butchery by the machine guns of the artillery, grape and canister being employed against the ill armed insurgents. Atrocious tales are told of the Cos- sacks, who, plied with vodka until drunk, fired down the streets, some- times charging with lances. The in- surgents displayed great stubbornness in holding barricades, even advancing in a mass to the slaughter. VALUABLE JEWELRY STOLEN. Thief Smashed Store Window and Got Away With Goods. New York, Dec. 26.—Four thousand dollars’ worth of antique jewelry, in- cluding diamonds, emeralds, rubies, topazes and pearls, was stolen early in the day from the show window of a firm of dealers in antiques at 25 Fifth avenue.

INTERNAL REVOLT FEARED UNITED STATES PREPARES FOR WORSE THAN BOXER UPRIS. ING IN CHINA. ‘Washington, Dec. 26.—The president and secretary of state are seriousi; concerned over the situation in China where all the signs indicate that an internal revolution is about to occur. Unless the situation is quickly con trolled by strong hands trouble f:i more *serlous’ than the Boxer war is expected. The Boxer disturbance was u)nfincu to one province, but the present threat ened uprisings spread through Canton Bhanghai and other sections where the foreigners are numerous. The administration is preparing for an early outbreak and an increase ol troops in the Philippines has been or dered. When the Boxer outbreak oc: curred this government was badly han dicapped by not having an armed force ready to send to the relief of endan gered Americans. This condition wiil not be repeated. Advices from American consuls in China indicate that the people are get ting away from the \'Heroys. CHINAMAN HANGS HIMSELF. First Suicide by Noose of That Race in ‘America, ‘Washington, Dec. 26.—Life was @ failure to Moy Sam, but in his death he established a record. He hanged himself in the back room of his laun dry during the night. He is the first Chinaman ever reported to the local police as a suicide. In addition to establishing a locai record Moy Sam gained other no toriety by hanging himself. According to the figures of the census bureau but fifteen Chinese committed suicide in this country from 1890 to 1300 and one of these was a Chinese woman. Poison is apparently the favorite method ol the Chinese for killing themselves, as eight of the fifteen used it, while two committed suicide by shooting and the remainder by drowning. Moy Sam had a wife and boy in Canton and was anxious to visit them this year. Poor business prevented and he hanged himself. LIVELY FIGHT OVER CANTEEN.

FLAMES ENDANGER LARGE SECTION TERROR INCREASED BY FAILURE OF WATER PRESSURE AT CRITICAL TIME. New York, Dec. 26.—Hundreds of tenement house babies and their toy laden Christmas trees were carried into the street before daylight during a fire which threatened to obliterate several blocks of the city in the vicin- ity of Fifty-eighth street and Eleventh avenue. A six-story factory building was completely destroyed with a loss of $100,000. With tenement houses on three sides and with the gas tanks of the Consolidated Gas company within reach of showers of sparks the water pressure partially failed when the fire was hottest. Fire engines were hastily coupled togeiher, pumping in pairs and this device, together with the bold work of the firemen, who advanced almost into the zone of the fiames in order to play on the fire with their weak streams, finally saved the hun- dreds of surrounding homes. Such crowds rushed out of the tene ment houses nearer the fire that the police from several stations were called out to handle them. The: fire men carried the hose from the couplec engines to the roofs of neighboring flathouses, where they poured water upon the factory fire and extinguished i little blazes which continualiy startec on the roofs all about them. The sun had risen before the last of the Clirist mas trees was carried back into the tenement houses and the danger wi: entirely over.

Five firemen were injured during the progress of the flames by the collapse of the rear second floor. They were precipitated into a basement and all sufféred more or less serious injuries. The total financial loss will approxi. a lively fight at this session of con-! mate about S' 0,000. gress for the restoration of the can- teen in the army. All the preliminary signs of a fierce conflict between the| Anti-Salcon league and the friends of the cantecn are here, sides of the question has begun. The friends of the canteen are un- usually active and determined. The Anti-Saloon league, whose members claim credit for having knocked out! the canteen originally, are on deck and alive to the danger. .They are pre- pared to arouse the women of the; country and start another flood of peti- tions pouring in on the representatives | in the house.
