VOLUME 3. NUMBER' 214 AGITATORS ARE JAILED 8T. PETERSBURG PRISONS OVER- 4 CROWDED AS RESULT OF OF- FICIAL ACTIVITY. REVOLT AT MOSGOW AT AN END TASK OF SUBDUING INSURGENTS SAID TO BE SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISHED. St. Petersburg, Jan. 2.—The policy of repressing the revolutionists con- tinues with a vengeance. Their an- nouncement that they proposed to carry on a guerrilla warfare until a ! v ueral armed revolt is prepared has wlated the government to redou- «d energy. A band of terrorists is uwn to be at work here and during 1 ¢ night there were Wwholesale arches for suspects. The city pris- 15 are so overcrowded that hundreds § lave been removed to Schlusselburg ;{ tortress and to the fortress of St. Pe- | ter and St. Paul. Government spies are at work among the workmen and revelutionary societies with instrue- tions to give warning of meetings, which are immediately surrounded, the members searched for arms and the ringleaders taken into custody. Never- theless, the workmen’s council and the executive committee of the social rey- olutionists are managing to evade ar- rest and are meeting each day at a ditferent place in the outskirts of the ‘ity. The pairols are understood to have orders not to spare bullets it they are attacked by persons using bombs | or revolvers. An interview with Governor General Doubassoff is printed in which he ex- plains that the duration of the revolt is owing to the extent of the region in which the military forces are operat- ing and owing to the lack of troops, which compelled Douhassoff to await reinforcements from Warsaw and St. Petersburg before giving the revolu- tionists their death blow. Difficult Task Accomplished. “The most difficult task,” the gov- ernor general continued, “was to drive them from their base on the Kazan ioad between Moscow and Perovo, miles east of Moscow, and sur- «d i in the Presna district so 0 pro ent their escape. Both these ‘g4 Were successfully accomplished. [Tae strikers of the Prokharoff les, who held the proprietor as a tage, were ready to surrcnder Fri- ‘v, but Colonel Minn, who conducted / e negotiations, declined to accept ‘eir surrender unless they also de- . ered up the “drujinists” who had .aght refuge there.” Governor General o declared emphatically that the #llery bombarded only the houses m which the revolutionists fired. teinforcements . entered Courland m four gides, but the leaders of the ¢ .tish revolution are imperturbable. The papers print terrible pictures of ! thé conditions prevailing along the Si- }hrelri;\u railway. There are no rail- | way otficials on duty and on the sec- ,!1(111 as far as Cheliabinsk, government | of Orenburg, all the flranmns have been pillaged. Complete anarchy prevails “at Irkutsk.

London, Jan. 2—The alien act passed at the last session of parlia- ment came into force during the day. The first effect of the new law was that the immigration officers refused to permit the landing of twenty-four of forty-two immigrants from Ger- many. The alien act prohibits immxgranca[ from landing in Great Britain except at ports where an immigration officer is stationed and only with his consent und after a medical inspection. Im-1 migrants may be refused permission to land if unable to show that they are in a position to obtain means to keep themselves decently, if insane, if on account of disease or other cause they are. likely to become a charge to the taxpayers, if they have been sentenced to prison for an extradical crime not of a political nature or if they have previously been expelled from Great Britain. The home secretary may also order the expulsion of an alien on a certificate from a court of law. The bill, however, provides that an alien shall not be refused permission to land on account of want of means if able to prove that he or she is seek- ing admission to Great Britain solely tc avoid prosecution for political of- fenses. LAKE FISHING TREATY. New Convention With Great Britain to Be Signed Shortly. ‘Washington, Jan. .2.—Preservation and development of the fisheries of the Great Lakes are the purposes of an agreement which will be signed early in the new year by Secretary of State Root and British Ambassador Durand.

The laws and regulations are to re- main in force five years, after which time they may be revised. . The amount of fish taken.from the lakes has steadily declined and the decrease has caused higher prices in the market. WRECKED BY A BOI\’G. Factory in Scranton, Badly Damaged.

Washington, Jan, 2.—Advices re- ceived here from Santo Domingo by cable are to the effect that there is little probability of a bombardment of Puerto Plata by the Morales gunboat Independencia, as threatened. The United States gunboats Nashville and Scorpion are now in the harbor and negotiations are in progress which make it probable that, as Captain Dil- lingham did at Monte Cristi two. years ago, both factions of the Dominicans will be warned to make their fight outside of the town if they desire to fight at all.

ILL HEALTH GIVEN AS THE CAUSE ACCUSES NEWSPAPERS OF MIS- REPRESENTATION AND DIS- TORTION OF FACTS. New York, Jan. 2—It has been made known on the best authority that John A. McCall resigned on Sat- urday the presidency of the New York Life Insiirance company, says the Times, and that:his resignation was reluctantly accepted by the trustees of the company.. The resignation was in writing. In his letter Mr., McCall said that, after long and careful consideration, he had felt it best to take such a step. In the months during which the insur- ance controversy has affected the New York Life, he said, his' peace of mind had suffered from continuous misun- derstanding and misrepresentation of his actions and distortion of facts and misquotation of his utterances by the newspapers. He was not in- good health now and he felt that it would be best for himself and for, the com- pany if he resigned the’ plesxdency Mr. McCall, it -is understood, - in- tends to take a long rest. It is not improbable that he will go to Europe for a while: John Claflin, the dry goods mer- chant, ‘who is a trustee of the'New York Life, has frequently been spoken of as Mr. McCall’s successor, but it is by no means certain that Mr. Claflin Twenty ‘Soldiers: Killed.
