RUSSIAN GIRL LEADS REVOLT
YOUNG WOMAN LEADS DEFENSE
OF CoNsPIRAToRs.
Police Finally Storm Building KILL
ing Seven-Two Officers Die
in Fighting.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 15-Led by q
girl, is revolutionary conspirators re-
sisted an attack by the police in Odes-
sa, with the result that seven of the
revolutionists and two policemen were
killed.
All the other conspirators were
wounded, and nine of the police force
fell from bullet wounds, probably IA
tally injured.
The police learned meeting Of
revolutionary character was in prog
ress at a house in Belgarskaja street,
The project Of police, not being in
formed as to the exact number Of
revoutionists, summoned large
force Of policemen and proceeded TO-
the house, which was surrounded.
Alarmed by the presence of the
great number of police, the revolution
lists ceased their meeting and began to
discuss means of defense.
A mere girl took the leadership of
the is men present. She was a student
lis years of age, frail, yet bold. The
girl did not hesitate as to the plan Of
action. Hurrying to an upper window
of the house, she thrust the barrel Of
a rifle she had seized out of the win
dow, and, aiming at the leader of the
force of policemen, shot him dead.
The police, thrown into CONSERVATION
ut the bold resistance, hesitated while
, deciding upon the best method of
storminy the house.
A long siege with the hope of starv-
ing the consrirators out was agreed
upon. and reenforcements of policemen
and fresh officers were summoned.
The police then took up the siege and
continued ii "A hours.
The protracted attempt to starve
them out angered the revoutionists,
whereupon the same girl who had led
the first resistance and fired the first
shot again offered a plan of action.
1t was that the police should be at
tackled suddenly, and from all avail
able points. This was carried out, the
revGlutionsts taking the initiative.
Weapons blazed, and shots flew
through the air thick and fast
Two policemen fell, instantly killed,
before the besicgers understood the
sudden attack. Then they stormed the
house, broke in the doors, and shot
| down all who offered resistance.
/ Before the revolutioniSts caDitulated
seven of them were dead, and each of
! the remainder was wounded and I'M
able TO continue the battle.
The girl, fin III and defiant to the last,
was captured, nninjured. and placed in
! a cell. The attack demonstrates the
| growth of the revolutionary feeling,
! which seems to be increasing, despite
the talk of the cars granting the
Zemstvo appeal for liberty. The at
i tack and siege have stirred the people
more than anything since the Jewish
! massacre.

President Decides an Extra Session
for Revision of Tariff to Be
Impractical.

Washington, Dec. 12.-No extraor-
binary session of congress will be held
next spring for revision of the tar
if. That has been decided definitely.
President Roosevelt announced this
decision to several of his callers Sat-

abandoned any idea of calling con-
gress into extraordinary session in the
spring, as it did not seem practicable
to hold session for tariff revision at
that time. He indicated, however, that
he might call a session for next fall,
although no absolute determination of
that point yet has been reached. In
view of this decision the president
told Representative Cooper, OF Texas,
that he had decided to make south
ern trip early next spring.
