rIhITIA AT BEVIER, MO.
GOV. MOREHOUSE ARRIVES ON
THE SCENE.
An Insane Mans Attempt to Cremate
His Wife-The indianapolis So
cia1ist Arrested-Crime

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 10-It now seems
settled fact that the disturbances at Beyier.
Mo-, where the serious riot occurred on the
night of the 5th are by no means settled,
and that the future must develop more seri-
GUS disturbances. Saturday night the build
ings of Loomis & Spivley, the leading
miners Of Bevier, were burned. and it is
claimed the fire must have been incendiary.
Adjt-Gen Jamison was at Bevier Saturday
in consultation with leading citizens, and at
the conclusion of the conference asked Gov.
Morehouse to come to Bevier. The Gov
ernor arrived there Sunday and after look
ing over the situation the Third regiment OF
Kansas City artillery was sent there
There are two armed bodies of men in
Bevier, many of them in barricades, and if
any one on either side fires off his gun, ac-
cidentally or not, it is war signal and the
war begins. 1t is said that when any of the
strikers at Bevier go elsewhere to work
they are refused work if it is known that
that they come from Bevier and belong to
the labor confederation there. As long as
the strike is continued at Bevier
the strikers receive support from
the state considerations. The disarming
of both sides at Bowler seems to be
hard thing to do. Gen. Jamison says the
only way it can be done is for the Governor
to declare the town under martial law
Adjt Gen. Jamson says that the national
guard of Missouri is composed largely of
young men who work on salaries and they
can not afford to go to Bevier to stay long
without pay from the State. There is
no money appropriated by the Legislature
to pay men in the military service.

Just before Mr. Frome got in I got away
and started for the stairs and he pushed

blow at Lommason, but missed him. Cast
ner then set about demolishing the house,

ing him, and before he could recover the
weapon he was overpowered. AS soon as
possible he will be transferred to Morris

lage is now the center of White Cap or
ganization called regulators and protect
ors, Saturday, Dec. l. a call was made,
and fifty-two regulators met at a school
house near the village and the organization
was made complete. Each member was
numbered and became the possessor of
whip and white mask. A commander was
selected and the members under oath
pledged themselves to obey. These regu-
lators claim in no way whatever to be con-
nected with the White Caps. They say the
whipping of Berkes was an outrage. Par
ties who are on the outside say these regu-
lators are genuine White Caps, and that in
side of eight hours after call has been
made 1900 White Caps can be wheeled in
to line. Not long since concern which
makes speciality of whips sent a large
number to the White Caps here. These
whips are long, slender, and very springy.
On the handle, in raised letters are the
words "White Caps.'

that the civil-service commission does not

Extracts from Letters written to
Mr.. KEENAN, by Russians.

From an ADMINISTRATIVE Exile IN Western
Siberia.
Since November | have received
the Centuy very irregularly. In the
November and December numbers
YOUR articles had been mercilessly
cut out by the censor to the last page,
as had also been, to my great regret,
a large part of the ''Life of Lincoln, /"
which seems to me to depict in a
most mastery way your American
customs and methods. The Janu-
airy number of the magazine did not
reach me at all, even in a mutilated
form, while the February number |
duly received without the least mu-
tilation. I read your paper ION the
fortress Of Petrapavlovst with close
attention, and was not able to find in
it even the most trihing error. Your
dispasSionate spirit and your way of
regarding things effectively distin-
guish your work from that of many
foreign writer's who produce an I'M
pleasant impression by constantly
exaggerating or going to extremes
on one side or the other. Your ar
tiCles will afford most valuable mate
rial to the future historian Of Russia.
OF course those that [ have not re-
ceived were written in the same spir-
it, and were cut out because, as your
New York Z11bune says, "The Rus
sian press censor always errs on the
safe side" With all my heart |
hope that you will have strength to
carry out fully the work that you
have so we'll begun
From an Exile who has Recently Returned
from Western Siberia.
| do not know how to thank you
for your article, which we have read
with enthusiasm, nor to tell you with
what feverish impotence we await

for Russia at least historical import
ance, and you are working in the in
terest of all humanity.

This is the last week at the Chi
cago Opera House of Col. McCaull's
excellent opera organization, the best
company of its kind in the United
States. During the foregoing weeks
two operas have been given, namely:
"The Lady or the Tiger" and "Boc-

dentally both official and artistic ef-
feet, 1t is to be reserved for this,
the last week of the engagement. to
produce an opera which has been
given once before at the Chicago
Opera House by this same company,
and which at the time scored a pro-
nOunCed hit as one of the most tune
full light operas ever written. The
opera is "Lorraine," by Rudolph
DeIlnger, German compose, who
has in this work given us more must
CA gems than have been heard of
in light opera for years, the piece
ranking for its beautiful airs with
"Giroha Girohe," "The Grande
Duchesse," and "The Chimes of
Normandy" three operas the most
tuneful ever written Dellinger's
piece has the additional advantage of
being new, and the airs of that pecu-
liarly catchy description which ena-
bles almost every one to catch them
upon the first hearing. 1t is from
this piece that the celebrated con-
tralto song, sung IN "The Arabian
Nights" entitled, every Flower that
Blooms so Fair" was taken. The
opera will be continued throughout
