B “CHINA FOR THE CHINESE.” | Growing Hostility to Forelgners in Flowery Kingdom. PEKING, Dec. 27.—The most conser- vative and best informed foreigners agree in expressing apprehension at the constantly growing irritation of the Chinese against foreigners, which | for nine months has been gradually | spreading through the country. “China | for the Chinese” summarizes the ob- | jects of the movement, among the chief promoters of which are male students | lowing account of what he | “typical incident” — FRIGHTFUL SLAUCHTER N MOSCOW e Casualties Will Reach Fif- teen Thousand and the Struggle for Possession of | the City Is Not Yet Ended GENERAL MISTCHENKO HAS NARROW ESCAPE Famous Cossack Leader Al- most Captured by Revolu- tionists on the Outskirts of the Ancient Capital e ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 27.—The Slovo declares it has learned that the bloodshed at Moscow that the casualties will reach 15,000. About’ 100 Red Cross workers have been dispatched from St. Petersburg to Moscow to aid in caring for the wounded. The paper says it has learned that the arms of the revolu- tionists mostly came from Germa and Belgium, whence they skipped to England, there and smuggled into Russia through Finland and the Baltic pro inces. Continuing, the Slovo remarks: “When our plenipotentiary sought to prevent the sailing of these vessels, through the Consuls, the latter re- fused to act, as all the vessels flew foreign flag: In spite of the bad prospects the leaders of the revolutionists continuing their desperate efforts bring on a general conflict. off yesterday the flag of armed was rafsed, but according to the troops, which had been largely SO here are revolt reports | re- inforced, put down the outbreak mer- cilessl The members of the so-called provisional government, composed of twenty-two delegates, which had been FAMOUS RUSSIAN CA DURING THE REC] E REV sitting there, were captured éarly in L the day, and later when the red flag DR MANY DA FORAYS was raised and barricades were erect- PEDL CAPTURE BY ed around the Helfrich Engine Works, which armed revolutionists were hold- o o The correspondent of the Dai Telegraph at St. Petersburg, as an in- stance of the ferocity of the struggle conducted at Kharkoff, gives the fol- calls a Kolpino, near St. Petersburg. ‘ s seen approaching a detachment of | The Cos- | sacks, however brutal, draw the.line | at children, and the boy was allowed to approach unmolested.

Lieutenant General Mistchenko, who commanded a Cossack brigade in Man- churia ‘'during the Russo-Japanese war, had a narrow escape from cap- ture by the revolutionists at St. An- drew’s monastery on Moscow, where the railroad track was blocked by barricades of freight and passenger cars. The general and two members of his staff managed to get a slelgh aWd reached Moscow by mak- ing a wide detour, but fifty officers returning from Manchuria, who were left behind, were captured and forced to give up their arms. They begged to be allowed to keep the gold swords given them for bravery, but the revo- lutionists refused their request. Minor collisions between the troops and strikers, of whom there are almost 50,000 still out, are taking place constantly in St* Petersburg.

The Chinese are pleased at the result of the boycott in producing conciliatofy orders from President Toosevelt, but the boycott is not ended and, it is asserted here, continues se- riously to affect American trade in the Canton and Yangtze regions. The Chinese are so satisfied with the movement that they are talking of the boycott as a permanent weapon for the national armory. The newspapers ad- vocate the boycott of Indian oplum be- cause of the action of the British as- sessor of the mixed court at Shanghai in ordering the fmprisonment of Chi- nese women in the municipal jail in- stead of in the Chinese prison, which caused the recent disturbance there. The result of the present movement is to discourage concession hunting. The Government has adopted a policy of Chinese control of railroads, mines and similar enterprises, and refuses to grant new concessions and is trying to | regain or annul several concessions previously granted. While many for- eigners sympathize with the objects of of inflammatory speeches and articles in the newspapers leading to mob up- risings 1ike that at Shanghai and the recent massacre of American missfon- aries at Lienchau. There is no doubt that the aggressive spirit of the Chinese has been decidedly increased by the late war and the suc- cessful maneuvers of the Chinese' northern army in October. Japan's victory has encouraged to Chinese to believe that they could be equally suc- cessful. e National Bank o e Pacific ut $an Fruncisco.

German Forelgn Office Regards News From Russia as Encouraging. BERLIN, Dec. 27.—The conviction prevails at the Foreign Office here that Russia is more than holding her own with the discontented elements and the | situation is regarded as having im- proved within the last two days. The Russian Government expects the Na- be representative and to include strong men, who are cer- tain of bringing the people into part- nership with the sovereign in the ad- ministration of the country. The opinion. of the German Govern- ment is that Russia has weathered the worst of her difficulties and that she will emerge Into a period of constitu- | tional development. Identical opinions exist in financial circles in Berlin. All Russian securities rose from 1 to 5 points on the Boerse to-day, and the Russian Finance Min- ister appears to have chosen an oppor- tune time to issue fresh treasury bills abroad. o A BOMB HURLED AT TRAIN. Badly Made Missile Does No Harm to Passengers. PARIS, Dec. 28.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Journal, in a di patch dated December 27, says: “Another bomb was thrown at the Vilna station to-day, when the Ger- man express arrived there. The missile was badly made, however, and the exi plosion which resulted did not cause serious damage. “Passengers for Moscow, when thirty- seven miles outside that city, are com- pelled to transfer from trains to ve- hicles drawn by horses.” Robertson, was nearly knocked down by a negro porter in the subway.

The battery is inclosed in a collapsible shed in order not to attract too much at- tention. GUERRILLA WARFARE IN MOSCOW. A brief message from Moscow telling of to-day’'s events says that troops with ar- tillery are pouring into the city, but that the situation has not greatly changed. The revolutionists hold portions of the Moscow-Ka: road. Desultory firing is taking place. The military patrols are engaged in guerrilla warfare with the revolutionists, who are | seeking refuge on the roofs of houses and in the narrow thoroughfares. Following the éxample of the authori- ties at Moscow, about half the police of St. Petersburg are now armed with rifles, and the unwonted spectacle of policemen with bayonets on their rifies adds to the public alarm. The news from the provinces to-day showed an alarming extension of the strike. Koknov, a fortress town of Lithu- anla having about 80,000 inhabitants, seems absolutely in the hands of the So- cialists, who have summoned the people to an armed rising, and the situation is so serious at Krementchug, South Rus- sia, that the Governor has declared mar- tial law for the purpose of restoring peace and insuring the elections to the Natlonal Assembly. The situation is really far more serious in the Baltic provinces, Caucasia and other non-Russian provinces, where the entire populace is hostile.

Artillery and cavalry are being employed against this force. The second “army’’ is armed especially with bombs and revolvers, and Is com- posed of 1000 persons, in whose ranks are many women, who display not only brav- ery but ferocity. This force is operating between Sadovia district and { Santa Rosan. Remarries a Pretty Jewess of Chicago LOVE WEATHERS STORM Separated by Girl's Father After Elopement, but Wed Again When She Is 18 Spectal Dispatoh to The Call, DENVER, Dec. 27.—Two years ago Har- ry B. Gray of Santa Rosa, Cal, and Jean Adelman, a pretty Chicago Jewess, eloped to Des Moines and were married. Miss Adelman was the daughter of Herman Adelman, a wealthy Chicago merchant, and was only 16 years of age. They lived together only a week, and on October 3, 1905, were divorced In Des Moines. Last Monday Miss Adelman became 18 years old. On that day she left Chicago, and on the day before her former husband left Santa Rosa. They met in Denver to-day and were quietly married by Judge B. B. Lindsey at noon. ‘“We knew that we could never be hap- py away from each other,” Gray told Judge Lindse; ““At the time of our first marriage Miss' Adelman’s parents object- ed because of the difference in our re- ligious beliefs. We ran off to Iowa and were married. But Mr. Adeiman became angry. He threatened to carry out plans which would have ended in my arrest and disgrace. On that account we decided to let Mrs. Gray secure a divorce and return to her parents until she was 18, when she agreed to meet and marry me again. We carrted out the programme and we will go back to Santa Rosa.” SANTA ROSA, Dec. 21.—Harry B. Gray, who remarried in Denver to-day the yvoung woman with whom he eloped two years ago, is the son -of James H. Gray, a local capltalist.

The third and largest army is operating in the region between the Brest railiroad station and the Triumphal Gate.

She laughed merrily to-day over the way her husband had been thrown off the track by stories of her sup- posed flight scross the ocean, sent from New York. Mrs. Fitzsimmons arrived on Mon~ day and went to the Cataract Hotel, which has housed many famous di- vorcees. She did not sign her name to the register and succeeded in con- cealing her identity for two days. H manner led to the surmb that she was seeking a divorce, and this su picion w: confirmed to-day when she was geen In comsuitation with a law- frankly avowed that she was for the purpose of obtaining a divorce. She was accompanied by no ome, not even a mald. A white Spita dos,. which she b owned for more than a year, is constantly with her. She brought five trunks and rented ome of the best suites In the hotel She Seems to have plenty of money and is delighted at the prospect of being divorced, “I came direct from New York.” she said. “This talk about me being in Europe was manifestly wrong. It is true the man my husband feared saw me aboard the vessel which conveyed me to Paris last summer. but I have been back for some time. His att tions were those of a perfeot gentle- men and an old friend, nothing more. Mr. Fitzsimmons cannot prove any- thing to the contrary. He has grossly | mistreated me and T can establish it when my suit for divorce is tried. Un- til that time I domn't care to go into detalls.” Although Mrs. Fitzsimmons denied that the outcome of her husband's | ight with O'Brien had anything to do | with her decision to obtain a divorce, she did not deny that she delayed her start for Sioux Falls until after the fight. Mrs. Fitzsimmons, who has taken the name of “Mrs. May,” to-night dele- gated to her attorney, Judge F. B Alkens, the office of receiving fnter- viewers. Aikens sald she had arrived here to make this her permanent home. She came for her health, which has not been good. He admitted that many Eastérners had been impressed by the invigorating air of Seuth Da- kota. His client was very sorry thac her husband lost the fight the other night, but was not expecting him here soon to receive evidences of her sym- pathy. Bob Fitzsimmons smiled sadly in his dressing-room at the Alhambra last night when told that his wife was preparing to secure divorce on the ground of cruelty. “She says I was brutal, eh!" he said. “I was never brutal to her, but lavished clothing. jewels, money and love on her I do not know what legal steps I will take In the matter of a divorce until my manager, Leon Friedman, consults some lawyer in New York. He reaches there Saturday night. I have already purchased my ticket for New York and leave here Monday.” When asked if he would stop over to see his wife he sald he had not given the matter any thought. It was evident from his manner that the matter was being considered and it is more than likely he will try to see the woman whom he feels has so deeply wronged him. He is particularly bitter against Miller. He says he may give him a chance to shoot at him some time, as Mfiller has threatened to do. L ———— New Year’s at Hotel Del Monte.
