RUSSIA HAS A
NEW GRIEVANCE
Demands Release of Steamer Prog
ress Seized by Japan and Held
for Damages.
Warlike Preparations in Progress
Japanese Parliament Will De-
mand Immediate Action.

Toxic, Dec. 7.-Peace between
Japan and Russia can only be assured
by substantial concessions on the part
of the Russian government with re-
gard to Manchuria and the admission
Of Japan's claims in Korea. The for
eign office here is looking for a reply
to the note sent to st. Petersburg to-
morrow, when parliament will be for
mally opened by the Japanese en-
peror. AlthO a constitutional SOW
ereign, he has considerable influence
on national sentiment. but he will have
great difficulty in curbing the grow
ing and almost unanimous sentiment
In favor Of immediate Warlike demon
stration against Russia.
A further cause for friction between
the two governments has been found
in the seizure Of the Russian steamer
Progress by the Japanese government
pending decision Of the courts on
the claim of the Japanese Steamship
company for $4,000 damages against
the Progress for sinking the Japanese
steamer Takai Maru, in collision
Oct. 20.
The Russian court exonerated the
Progress. The Russians claim that
the Japanese courts have no jurisdic-
ton in the case, as the collision oc-
Cured on the high seas, and they
threaten to enter action against the
Japanese Steamship company and te
seize the company's mail steamer al
Vladivostok.
A note has been presented by the
Russian minister to Japan, Baron de
Rosen, demanding the release Of the
Progress.

Horrible Murder Followed by a Sui

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Chaska. Mimi, Dec. 7.-One of the
most atrociOus murders in the history
Of this section was committed Friday
afternoon at a point six miles west OF
Chaska on the Chaska-Cologne road.
A little boy on that day discovered
that Jacob p. Patzke, German farm
er, aged about So, had kicked his wife
to death. He informed his father, but
nothing was done to apprise the Of
fcers of the horrible affair until Satur-
daymorning. When the sheriff and other
county officialsvisitedt the PatZke home
on that day it was found that after
killing his wife Patzke had gone to his
barn and hanged himself. The cor
oner held an inquest and the jury re-
turned verdict OF murder and sui
eide. The bodies Of the husband and
wife were buried in Chaska yesterday.
The murder Of the woman was most
brutal In character. She had been
kicked In the face until every feature
had. been obliterated and her body
made one mass Of contusions and
bruises. Portions Of her flesh were lit
terally reduced tosa pulp. Her body,
lying in pool Of her life's blood, was
found in the kitchen Of the home.
Evidences Of the struggle which the
woman had made for her life were to
be seen on every hand, as the kitchen
| and other parts Of the house were
strewn with articles Of household use
! and pieces of furniture.
Patzke was hard drinker and had
| long been accustomed to abuse hi:
wife. He was quarrelsome wher
sober, as we'll as when drunk, and the
! neighbors feared him and Stunned hi
| place. This accounts for their della,
! In going to the spot and investigating
the story told by the boy. Had the.
lost no time in doing this, Patzk
might have been caught and the sui
eide prevented.
The Patzkes lived on farm valuet
at about $4,000. They had no children
and the estate will go to a brother o

Russia Fears Internal Trouble and
Hence breads Foreign War.
Now York Sun Special Service.
London, Dec. 7.-As eyes are turned
toward Russia to see whether she is
willing to fight Japan, accounts come
from the former country that within
her own borders there is serious dan
ger of a revolutionary outbreak be-,
fore the winter is past. A letter from
Ekaterinoslav, dated Dec. 2, says that
the correspondent has been engaged
for several weeks inquiring into the
popular discomfort. He declares that
the recent disturbances were mere
sputterings which portend coming
confiagration. Chronic distress, due
to bad harvests and lack Of employ
ment, incline the people toward revo-
luton, but more is due to the tyran-'
ny of the administrative departments.
The Russian agrarian and socialist
party has circulated g. million copies
of proclamation to peasants de-
nouncing the government. From Mos
cow, Tamboff, Sebastopo1 and else
where socialist groups are actively
carrying on similar propaganda.
Every town is a focus from which the
rural districts are worked. The revo-
lutionary agitation has spread from
the universities to the schools, affect
ing both sexes. What alarms the
government most is that in several
recent outbreaks, notably at Kieff, the
soldiers refused to fire ON civilians.
The correspondent maintains that
the extent Of the revolutionary move
ment and it's Infection Of the army
are undoubtedly at the bottom of Rus
sia's hesitation to force war on Japan,
which would necessitate the drafting
Of large number Of soldiers to the far
east, and dangerously "denude Eu-
| ropean Russia.

CHINA ALSO ARMING
Russian Partizans Said to Be Losing
PRESTIGE Rapidly.

Peking, Dec. 7.-Prince Ching, who
is credited with being In league with
Russia over the Manchuria affair, is
losing his grip on the situation. The
empress has caused an edict to be is
sued appointing Prince Ching, the
grand secretary; Yuan Shi Kai, the
governor Of Chill province and Man
chu official to be committee to re-
organize the armies Of all the Chinese
provinces on national basis, with
similar arms, equipments and organ
ization.
Prince Ching continues optimistic
on the subject of the restoration OF
Manchuria. He tells the officials here
that the czar favors It's evacuation,
and, altho Viceroy Alexieff desires its
annexation, the czar, according to
Prince Ching, will overrule him.
Ching, with other Chinese officials
is apprehensive Of the results Of the
British advance In Thibet. The ma
tive press fears it Is a step toward par
tition, which the other powers may
Initiate.

CzAR NOT WE'LL

Study Over Eastern Situation Leaves
Him Nervous Wreck.
New York Sun Special Service.
London, Dec. 1.-THE st. Peters,
burg correspondent of the Daily Tel
egraph says that a degree Of nervous
ness has been noticeable lately in
foreign office circles. Keen disap-
pointment is expressed that Japan
has SO long refused to knuckle under
to Russia. In some quarters the be-
lief is expressed that Russia will give
way rather than risk war.
In connection with this Indication
Of possibility that Russia may tenn
porarily throw UP the sponge, a St.
Petersburg report by way of Berlin,
published by the Daily Express, says
that the czar's nerves are entirely
disordered. He is worried, worn and
overworked. His physicians ordered
him to leave Skierniewic owing to the
damp air. and to remain only a short
time in st. Petersburg. He will
spend January and February at Liv-
ada, in south Russia.
