Will Support the Republic’s Claims and Strive for Pesce. 2 PARLS, Jan. 11—The Marquis Vis- conti Venosta, head of the Italian del- egation to the Moroccan conference at Algeciras, arrived here from Rome last night. He had a short interview with Premier Rouvier and was afterward re- ceived by Prince von Radolin, the Ger- man Embassador, with whom he con- | ferred for an hour. The Echo de Paris this morning says that its represéntative had an inter- view with the Marquis on the train be- tween Dijon and Paris and that the Italian statesman authorized the fol- lowing statement: “The good wishes of the whole of Italy accompany me to Algeciras. It is the most ardent desire of my country, my King and my people that the conference will be able to smooth all difficulties and arrive at*a conclusion the result of which will be a lasting and solid peace. As for myself, I shall be faithful to my mandate as a friend of France and of peace, and I shall spare no effort to accomplish the task to which I have been assigned. My pro- found hope is that the results of our deliberations will fulfill the expecta- tions of our respective countries.” Herr von Kadowitch, the German Embassador to Spain and delegate of Germany to the conference, told the Temps' correspondent that he was con- vinced that an equitable solution of the matter, satisfactory and honorable to all parties, would be reached. His In- structions from Berlin indicated a spirit of conciliation. e French Warships at Algeciras, ALGECIRAS, Jan. 11.—The French cruiser Galilee and torpedo-boat 265 have arrived here.

The bill was offered again | by the Senator to-day, who moved to make it a special order for Tuesday. | Majority leader Raines, the chief op- | ponent of the measure, agreed to the proposition, and said: “Many Senators are not here to-day, | and, in view of that fact, I concur in the motion to put the resolution over. I give notice now that I shall move a call- of the House Tuesday morning to bring in all Senators.” Senator Brackett anticipates a per- sonal attack on him By the supporters of Senator Depew. It is understood | that a letter which, they assert. the | Saratoga statesman sent to a New York Central official requesting a pass for a constituent, will be produced and read. Threats of beginning proceedings to oust the Senator have also been made. Brackett, however, s apparently not alarmed. He said to-day that no threat could scare lim out of his purpose to put the Senate on record on the Depew resolution. SENATOR HEYBURN’S FRIENDS ALARMED Several Threatening Letters Are Received by Him _Through Mail. ' WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Some alarm is felt by the friends of Senator Hey- | burn of Idaho over a number of threat- | ening letters received by him In the last few months. For a time the Sen- ator and his friends with whom he | has discussed the matter were inclined to look upon the threatening missives as the work of harmless cranks, but since the assassination of former Gov- ernor Steuenenberg more importance is attached to them. "Threatening letters also have been received by Representative John Chefoy, who appeared as the attorney for Governor Steunenberg before a Congtessional committee at the time it was investigating the Idaho mining troubles. Senator Heyburn has expressed the opinion that the State authorities of Idaho ought to take decided steps to apprehend the writers of the threat- ening letters. | | R — PRIVATE SERVICES HELD OVER LODY OF DR.

RUSSIAN FUNDS RAUNNING LOW St. Petersburg Government Must Borrow $240,500,000 During the Present Year NEW BUDGET ISSUED Deals Frankly With the Un- favorable Finaneial Situa- tion in the Czar’s Empire e By ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 11.~The budget statement for 1906, which was issued to-night, shows that it will be nee- essary to raise $240,500,000 by credit opera- tions to balance the estimated receipts and exvenditures. The latter include $202,500,000 for the liquidation of the ex- penses of the Russo-Japanese loan, the Xepatriation of troops in the Far East and the reduction of the army to a peace footing. For the first time the total cost of the war, $1,050,000,000, is revealed. The credit operations to balance the budget include therecent authorization of $200,000,000 in treasury bonds, $75,000,000 of which have already been used to re- new the Mendelssohn loan, and the credit of $160,000,000 which former Finance Min- ister Kokovsoff is now mnegotiating in Paris, is understodd to be the mainte- the proceeds of which will be retained in Paris, is upnderstood to be the mainte- nance of the stability of the ruble. The budget statement does not dodge the prevailing conditions in Russia. It is pointed out specifically that the re- celpts from nearly all sources have been scaled down, and, moreover, it is stated that if the disorders in the Interior do not cease there may be some branches of revenue on which it will be impossible to count. The budget also deals frankly with the heavy drain on the gold reserve of the state bank balances abroad, which have fallen $152,500,000 in the three months pre- ceding January 1. During the last ten days of the year the gold reserve was re- duced by $50,500,00, while the issue of peper currency was increased by $20,000.000. The statement concludes with the fol- lowing, addressed to the the Emperor, which evidently was prepared by Cpunt de Witte: These facts and figures submitted to your “Majesty show that the present situation of Russian finances is none too favorable. This state of things ls the result of the war and of the troubles which followed. These troubles are of a temporary character and it Is falr to assume that they will be amellorated in the near future. Perlods of economic depression, history proves, are ordinarily followed by ps riods of activity and prosperity. Economle agi- tation multiplies the energy of the ablest anl most enterprising elemencs or the nation aud arouses the laboring Mmasses to persevere in their work, which cannot fail to better the ui- dustrial rituation of the country and likewise the finances of the state. B RRE QUER CAUCASUS. MUST RECO Czar’s Authority Defied by People of a Vast District. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 11.—A long official communication issued this morn- ing explains that the carrying out of numerous formalities will prevent the meeting of the Douma before the end of April. According to the Slovo, the complete report of Count von Verontozoff Dash- koff, Viceroy of the Caucasus, shows that the situation in Trans-Caucasia is much more alarming than outlined in the published statements on the sub- ject. Portions of the report indicate that the problem presented consists practically of reconquering the whole Country south of the mountains. It also contains an urgent appeal for rein- forcements. The demonstration of mourning planned to commemorate January 22 (“red Sunday"”) includes calling a two- day general strike, beginning at noon on January 21. The “reds” of St Petersbhurg are striving to force a con- flict and a repetition of the Moscow barricade of streets and other features of the rebellion there, but the authori, ties are ready to declare martial law at a moment’s notice and scout the idea that anything serious will decur. A Sl O SCORES OF INSURGENTS SLAIN. Fail in Attempt to Capture Train Transporting Money. RIGA, Livonia, Jan. 11.—News has just reached this city of a daring at- tempt of the revolutionists to capture a military train conveying a large sum of money from St. Petersburg to Libau. A band of revolutionists having ad- vance information gathered at Hazen- pol, burned two bridges and tore up the track. Two companies of infantry which were escorting the train left the cars and were jolned by a detachment of dragoons. This force marched against the revolutienists, who, from behind improvised defenses, opened fire on the soldiers. The infantry, after firing two volleys, which killed 65 and wounded nearly 100 of the revolutionists, charged with the bayonet, and the dragoons completed the rout by sabering all the revolutionists they overtook. G e ey MONEY ISSUED BY REBELS. REVAL, Esthonla, Jan. 11.—The re- volt in Esthonia is collapsing. The cavalry is operating up to the border of Livonia. Money coined by the revolutionists at Umlauf, showing the head of the leader of the Social Democrats in the Baltic provinces stamped on one side, is be- ing circulated In Livonia.
