Even sleighs containing richly dressed persons are stopped and the occupants are compeélied to descend and pass through the hands of the wild Cossack soldiery, who search every person for concealed arms. It is difficult to f8rm an estimate of the casualties, but they have been greatly overstated. The losses of the troops and work, but they are comparatively small and probably will not reach a hundred. 8o far as the other casualties are con- cerned, those of the workmen generally and innocent sufferers, 2500 is perhaps a conservative estimate. ik CRAE SORATE S GENERAL STRIKE CALLED OFF. | ST.

PETERSBURG, Dec. 30.—The Gov- | prodlamation annotncing that persons ernment claims that the attempt at an | guilty of throwing bombs from houses In a sen.i-official communication issued to- night it declared the movement®has been broken and that within a few weeks it would be definitely crushed. It attributes the defeat of the ‘reds” not only to the force the Government employed, but to a lack of public sympathy. Simultaneously the Government an- nounces that the regulations for the elec- tions to the national assembly have been completed and will be pubiished to-mor- row, and that everything possible will be done to accelerate the meeting of the Douma, in which the voice of the natio: and not of a single class, can be heard. A member of the Cabinet said to-day “The result of the attempt of the revo- lutionists to overthrow the Government by force was never for a moment in doubt, but what has occurred and what is occurring we believe will have a salu- tary effect on public opinion. The revolu- tion will go on, but it is our purpose to confine it to peaceful channels.” A prominent revolutionary leader, who is a leading spirit in the movement to raze the dynasty and its regime and for whom the police are searching, was un- able to conceal his depression, but nev- ertheless he claimed that the movement had received only a temporary check. ENTRAPPED BY DEE WITTE. “We blundered badly,” he said. “We fell into the trap De Witte set for us. Em- boldened at the seeming paralysis of the Government, we proclaimed broadcast our intention of preparing an armed revolu- tion for January or February. We vir- tually threw our cards on the table then. “De Witte challenged and we rashly accepted before organization was per- fected or plans matured. It was all too sudden and ill-timed. The workmen were worn out by the recent strikes and the holidays were at hand, and, besides, we obtained active co-operation neither from the populace, on which we had counted, nor from_the troops, among whom we know we have support. It is a bad re- verse. Our most skillful leaders have been arrested and the supplies of arms which we laboriously collected have been seized. “But the situation has also its bright side, for it is the first time the proletariat has fought in the "open against the bayonets and cannon of the Government. That is a great vie- tory. The Government must not flatter itself that it has dealt a decisive blow. We have dedicated our lives to the work. We are fighting not only for the emancipation of Russia, but for the social revolution of the world.” ZERO WEATHER AIDS CZAR. The elements are now fighting on the side of the Government, as they did in the days of Napoleon. The north- ern winter, with all its rigors, has set in; the upper half of the empire is locked in snow and ice, and it would be dificult for the proletariat to build and defend barricades in the streets and fight a winter campaign. In St. Peters- burg to-night the temprature is 18 degrees below zero and everywhere fires are burning in the streets to keep the homeless fiom freezing. No other details have been received of the horrible affair at Moscow to-day, when Governor General Doubassoff’s ar- tillery brought the waMs of the Prok- haroff cotton mills tumbling down on the heads of several thousand strikers and revolutionaries, except a statement that hundreds perished. = The attempt of “Black Hundreds” to march Into the city and wreak vengeance on the revolutionaries and strikers only tends to confirm the fears that the final collapse of the revolt at Moscow will be followed by an awful massacre, and although Governor Gen- eral Doubassoff succeeded in prevent- ing their entry into the city tosday and will take stern measures in 'the future it will be difficult to restrain the lower classes, who regard the rev- olutionaries as enemies of the Emperor and the country. Already rowdies are taking advantage of the situation to plunder on a farge scale. LOSSES OF TROOPS SLIGHT. Governor General Doubassoff has not yet given the figures of the losses dur- ing the fighting at Moscow, saying that it 1is impossible at present to more than make a guess. However, he places the outside limit at 3000. The troops and police did not suffer nearly so heavily as the rebels, and it Is re- ported that up to Thursday night there were less than fifty casualties all told among them. Throughout Russia, immediately on the appearance of disorders, the au- thorities are declaring martial law, making wholesale arrests and confis- cating arms. The gencral strike seems to be going to pleces. It was declared off at Riga to-day and at Odessa it Is breaking up and many rallroads are resuming op- erations, The result of the call for an armed rising in Poland to-morrow Is awaited with anxiety. Tl ROJESTVENSKY TO BE TRIED. Czar Orders Formal Prosecution of Defeated Admiral. BERLIN, Dec. 30.—Dispatches from St. Petersburg say the Czar has di- rected the Minister of Marine to prose- cute Admiral Rojestvensky, who com- manded the Russian fleet which was annihilated in the battle of the Sea of Japan. He charges him with having caused the loss of the fleet and sacri- ficed the lives of his men and with negligence and inefficlency. \ The Czar has granted the appeal of Rojestvensky to have a public hearing. Rojestvensky declares he will be able to clear himself of the charges made against him. Leans e WARSAW STRIKE A FAILURE. WARSAW, Russian Poland, Dec. 30.— The Socialists have issued a proclama- tion in whicn they confess that the general strike is unsuccessful. They attribute its failure to the National Democratic party. Attempts to erect barricades at three places in this city to-day failed. There are heavy patrols in the streets and the banks are closed.

NOTIFIES ROOT OF DEPARTURE Chinese Minister Gives Him Outline of Programme of Commission Coming Here TO STOP AT HONOLULU Visitors Are to Be Shown All the Courtesies Bestowed on Foreign Diplomats WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—The Chinese Minister here, Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, called at the State Department to-day to notify Secretary Root officially of the departure from China for this country of an imperial commission com- posed of two Chinese of high degree, and a numerous and brilllant staff of attend- ants, who have been charged by the Chi- nese Government with the task of study- |ing American political, mili.ary, naval, educational and industrial methods. This commission will stop at Honolulu on the way across the Pacific for a faw days, and is timed to arrive in San Francisco {on January 16. At that port the mem- bers will be accorded ‘all of the courte- sies and facilitles usually bestowed upon visiting diplomatists charged with spe- clal missions. Travellng overland, the commission will reach Washington about January 21, and will take up their resi- | dence at the Chinese legation. | Secretary Root has already charged | Charles Denby, the chief clerk of the Department of State and formerly secre- tary of legation at Peking, with the duty | of recetving and caring for the commis- | sion in behalf of the Government. Note ‘withstanding the formidable task set for | them, the commissioners expect to com- plete the investigation of American methods in three weeks, when they will return to China. At the head of the commission is General Tuan Fong. He is a Manchu, and is known in his own prov- | ince under the name of Tokrow. At pres- ent he Is Governor of the province of Hunan, and was recently acting Viceroy of Hunan and Hupeh. Following closely upon this Amerfean commissicn, probably coming on the next steamer, but landing at Seattle instead of San Francisco, will come another com-~ mission headed by Hslang Chiheng, the present acting Governor of the province of Shantung. This commission is to do in Europe what the first commission is to undertake in America. But they will be in no haste to reach their destination, and expect to make a stay also in Wash- ington and tHeir way across the country to take ship for Europe. In sending these commissions abroad, as the matter was explained to Secretary Root, the Chirese Government is seeking to emulate Japan and intends to follow the example of that nation in freely availing itself of the best of modern for- eign ideas which can be engrafted upon Chinese civilization. et THE ROOSEVELT BEARS ] IN NEXT SUNDAY’S CALL.
