S WITTE TELLS OF IT. i \ 7 = STAT A TRIN OF DYNAMITE AGANST DEPOT Desperate Attempt of Moscow Rebels to De- Stroy R. R. Station. BOCOMOTIVE SHOT AT. of Engine in Time to Stop It. «Premier Recalls Incident in Rebuk- ing People for Not Stand- ing with Czar. ST. PHTPRSBURG, Jan. 10.—Speak- fog of the innumerable diMoulties with which the Government was confronted Guring the recent revolt, Premier Witte to-day openly stated that many of the provincial authorities continued to act tadepentientiy, instancing Moscow, where before the revolt neither tho Governor-General, the Governor nor the prefect informed him of the con- G@&ions prevailing there. ‘He added that the Moscow revolt was more serious than people generally be- Meved. Recounting a remarkable incl- dent that heretofore had escaped notice, the Premier said: “At one time all the stations except the Nicholas depot were in the hands of the revolutionists. The latter, in Gesperation, started a train hauling two ears loaded with dynamite at full speed aay the station with the intention of diowing it up. “A frightful disaster was averted by timely warning of the plot which en- ‘abled the authorities to have a military train, with steam up, ready on a paral- Jel track. As the dynamite train ar- Tived soldiers from the military train, moning elongside, fired at the engine and mmnaged to plerce the doller of the locomotive, stopping the train before it weached its destination." In St. Petersburg, the Premier further remarked, enough dynamite had been emptured to destroy the entire eity. Premier Witte to-day made this state- ment to a delegation headed by the ‘Mayor of this city, which requested a relaxation of the orders of the Prefect of Police against meetings in the inter- est_of the electoral campaign. The Premier could not promise to do any- thing untit after Jan. 2. ‘While personally he Cid not sympa- thize with the hersh measures of In- terior Minister Durnovo he regarded thent as essential. The Premier could mot assume the responsibility gourso which if it resulted In bloodshed would make him a scapegoat. He spoke bitterly of the failure of the moderates to give the Government Support, saying that upon their shoul- ders largely rests the burden of com- pelling the Government to resort to repression. He added: “he Emperor in the manifesto of | Oct. 30 at one stroke granted the peoplo| fore rights than any monarch had ere before given, but you know the Attitude which Russian society as- sumed. ‘he Government's appeals for ‘wonfidence were rejected and every Uberty granted was abused by the rev- otutionists, “The permiasion to hold meetings was ted into license for street dis- turbances and assemblages ,to plot [ industrial ruin of the country. ways been opposed to repression, yrattinds of the moderates com- me to adopt harsh measures, Getermined to save Russia."

Van Schaick Called to Answer for Slocum Disaster. An old man, bowed by welght of sor- row, stood up in the Criminal Branch of the United States Circult Court to- day tn answer for the loss of 1,060 lives on the steamboat General Slocum on June 15, 1901. He was Capt. William IL. Van Schaick, commander of the ill- fated boat. “Not guilty” was his plea to the charge of negligence, that, owing to the loss of lives, constitutes manslaughter. The alert shipmaster who greeted the merry excursionists on the Slocum was to-day an old man, stoop-shouldered, with every feature showing his misery. ‘The witnesses filed into the court- room—motners who had given him tne care of their bables, fatuers who had Intrusted him with all their kin, young men eee eile ee eas proath,, dew On Meare ts Re they asked, “Where “Where is he? ia the captain?’ Not since the day the big vessel started up the East River with its hu- man load of unrestrained happiness had they sen the ship-master.

It's a handi- cap—that Is, the handicap is on the pret- tlest girl. She doesn't know any de- sirable young men, and she must get married by June or lose. No triflera need reply. The prettiest girl is Bessie May Lit- tle, of No. 81 West Forty-ninth street. She 4s dark, curly-haired, brown-eyed, rosy-cheeked and slender. With be- fitting modesty she told an Evening World reporter to-day how and why she determined to enter the race. The proverbial “little bird” brought the tp to The Evening World in the shape of a letter. It read: “One of the prettiest girls in the Fit- teenth Assembly District has made an agreement to forfelt a large sum ot money to a friend if she does not marry ‘by the end of Juhe, the latter making the same agreement. Now ihe reason I wish this published is the one girl goes to a great many places where she has all the chances to make acquaint ances, marry and win the forfelt, whlle the other remains at home and never meets young men. So Jf this is made known penhaps some honest young man with a good position will have a chance to win a handsome wife. Just call on her and say you overheard the bet.
