The ferment continued all day and far into the night. So far there have into { been more than 100 arrests. To-night the students of the Poly technique and other institutions held meetings, at which fiery speeches were made In favor ¢f reform and the con- vocation of a national assembly. The greatest distress is expressed by conservative Liberals over the d events, all declaring that just w the fate of the Zemstvo programme was in the balance, such a fruitless outbreak will be sure to prejudice every observer and put the strongest weapon in the hands of the bureau- cratic reactionaries. That such demonstrations of the So- cial-Democratic labor party confined to the capital is shown by a letter received here from a prominent Zemstvoist in Southern Russia, in which the writer says: The optimism with which we left St. Peters- burg is beginning to vanisn. The Government is not showing a disposition to meet us half way and enter frankly on the path of reform. On the contrary, there seems to be hesitation &5 to Whether it would not be better to return ath of reaction. The Government uneble t0 comprehend the real state of ular feeling, the importance of decisive tion and the disastrous consequences of pro- crastination. The people of this province are in a state of great excitement. Large meetings have taken place in many towns and very spe- cific resolutions have been adopted, but the bad feature of the situation is the attitude of the workmen Incited by the underground press of Genev: and Paris, which deciares Jtseif In complets antagonism to the moderate demands of the | Zemstvo, it proclaims a definite socialist pro- gramme declaring it wants not political but #ocial freedom. It will therefore be the policy of the Government, if it decldes to concede nothing to it, to foster such dissensions be- tween the Zemstvo and the Labor party. The Government, confident of its abillty to repress revolutionary attacks by force of arms, and apprehending no real danger from the workingmen, can use their antagonism to us as an argument against the expediency of granting the reforms demanded by the moder- ates on the ground that they are not in real sympathy with the wishes of the people. Following is the text of the procla- mation of the Social-Democratic labor party calling attention to to-day's demonstration: We nave raised cur volces calling for bet— ter things, but the Government has turned a deat ear to our cry. We from day to day draw out a laborous existence, a condition worse than convicts, while they convert mil- lions into smoke and sacrifice thousands of workmen's lives under incompetent generals. We are shedding our blood for our torturers, while they ure entering into a shameless bar- wealthy landlords and Zemstvoists. assemble in front of the o' clock.

The Daily Telegraph’'s Tientsin cor- respondent learns from official Japan- ese sources that the Japanese casual- ties at Port Arthur the latter part of October were 3000 killed and 10,000 wounded. The losses In more recent attacks, the correspondent adds, were much heavier. The same correspondent has heard that continual fighting s proceeding south of Mukden. The correspondent in Shanghai of the Daily Telegraph, in a dispatch dated December 11, savs that, according to Peking reports, the Russians have re- treated to the south bank of the Hun River, after seventy-two hours’ fight- ing, with heavy losses. On the fourth day of the fighting, the correspondent says, the Japanese assumed the offen- sive. The Mukden station is reported to be in a wild state of confusion. The Daily Telegraph believes the au- thenticity of the foregging reports ate encounters last week. is very doubtful. TOKIO, Dec. 11.—The battering of the Port Arthur fleet continues and there is but little ground for expecting that it will ever again engage the Japanese. The battleship Sevastopol continues at anchor outside and it is possible that she returns to the harbor at night. Her anchorage is Inside the outer boom, which protects her from torpedo attacks and, besides, the heavy weather recently has given her added protection. Naval experts are discarding the theory that the Russians sank any harbor on | of December 9, with what | ships themselves. The fact that the vessels first showed lists, the exposed | | | ions of the sunken vessels and the ! rts of the Russians to save the| rastopol are regarded as conclusive against the theory of self-sinking. A majority of the sunken warships | lie headed northward. They received | the bulk of the fire across their port sides. The fact that at least two show- ed lists to starboard gives rise to the | theory that the Japanese shells, ex-| ploding inside the ships, against the starboard armor, drove the armor out- ward, causing leaks.

BODY GETS NO REST IN GRAVE Devoted Husband Digs Up Corpse of His Wife at Intervals and Reclothes It DEVOTION IS GREWSOME She Died When He Was Away From Home and on Return He Becomes Almost Frantic Special Dispatch to The Call. CADDO, I T. Dec. 11.—As strange as fiction and so grewsome as to cause those most famillar with it to shudder when it is mentioned is the story of J. ‘W. Moons' remarkable devotion to his dead wife—a devotion which has caused him to ignore all conventions, the sen- timent of the community and the plead- ings of his friends and to practically alienate himself from the society of his equals in a community where he ranks as one of the wealthiest and most in- fluential citizens. Moons' gelf-ostracism is the result of his persistent habit of disinterring the body of his wife, bathing it and cloth- ing it in fresh linen before consigning | it back to the grave for another brleti period. ‘When Mrs. Moons died her husband was away from home on a hunting trip. It was impossible to communicate | with him, and neighbors and friends of the family prepared the woman’s body for burial and interred it before the ab- sent husband knew of her death. When he returned and learned of his loss he | was almost frantic. He appealed to| some of the best women of Caddo to assist him in exhuming his wife’s body and preparing it for a burial to suit his ideas. He said that he wanted the corpse clothed in a black silk dress which he had given his wife as a birth- day present and which she had worn but a few times. The sympathetic women agreed to humor him and the body was taken from the grave, where it had lain for four days. They bathed and reclothed it to suit the grief-stricken husband’s ideas. The incident caused some discussion, but a few days later, when Moons again appealed to certain ladies of the town to assist him in again exhuming and preparing the body for the grave, the community was shocked. Never- theless Moons succeeded in persuading some respectable women ‘o assist him. The body was again tawen from the grave, bathed, clothed ia fresh linen and reinterred. In a short time this procedure was repeated, -and again and again did| Moons disturb the grave in which his! dead wife reposed to carry out his grewsome ideas of devotion. He no longer could obtain assistance from the white women of Caddo, and was obliged to employ two old colored mam- mies to assist at the periodic rites. Finally the negresses were frightened from the work by stories of “spooks” and spirits told 6 them by ‘indignant Now Moons attends to| the grewsome matter alone and unald-] ed.

The weather prevents a good ob- | servation, but the Japanese are sending | a searching fire into nooks which can- not be observed from 203-Meter Hill | and other heights. Observers report that a number of | tugs, launches, dredges and small craft | have.anchored near the hospital ships | in the west harbor, evidently for the purpose of obtaining protection. It has been suggested that the besiegers no- tify General Stoessel to separate them from the hospitel ships or else take the consequences. The Japanese are ex- ercising care to avoid hitting the hos- pital ships, which are frequently in the direct line of fire. | dig not immediately | will H at such cheap prices course.

TACOMA, Dec. 11.—A dispatch from Fairbanks, Alaska, says James Hill, auditor of the Northern Commer- cial Company, was married there Thursday and started the same day with a dog team for a j00-mile bridal trip to Dawson. The couple expect to spend Christmas in the Klondike. Fairbanks prices continue to rise. Canned cream is now 316 a case and candles sell for 20 cents each. bettle full-of kerosene costs 75 cents. The camp probably will be In dark- nesss before spring. Arthur Kruger was almost killed by the explosion of his rifle at Fairbanks. One eye was blown out and he prob- ably will lose the sight of the remain- ing one. | Registration excitement in Dawson has subsided, the enumerators having | dclivered the missing voters’ lists to the supporters of Dr. Thompson. A crowd of miners threatened violence if the men holding the registration lists produce them. Dr. Thompson's supporters claim he be elected to Parliament over fcrmer Governor Congdon if the elec- tion is honestly conducted. —_————————— Police Prevent Riot in Paris.
