New York, Dec. 2s.--Call money

so. From so there was quick ad-
vance to Is. 80 and then 100 per cent.
When 100 per cent was touched all
records since December, 1899, were
broken. In that year 1876 per cent
was paid for call loans. After lend
ing at 100 there were loans at 30 per
cent. The 80 per cent quotation did
not last long and at: II o'clock Ito
per cent was paid for funds and short
ly afterwards loan Of 100000 at 1875
per cent was reported.
Toward II o'clock the demand for
call money seemed to have been pretty
well met and money loaned at 60 per
cent. The greater part of the offer

through their local correspondents. A
great many individuals and CONNER

BOYCOTT NOT DIMINISHING.
Number of American Houses In China
Close Their Doors.

Number Of American Houses In China
Close Their Doors.
San Francisco, Dec. 29.-According
to latest reports received here from
the Orient the boycott in China has
become SO serious that number of
American houses have closed their
doors until the conditions change.
There arrived here from the Orient
on the steamer Coptic R. Van SAINT,
who represented a local firm at Shang-
hal. Mr.. Van SAINT, in speaking of the
boycott, said:
"The situation in China is very seri.
GUS and there is absolutely nothing in
the stories that the feeling against
American goods has lessened.. 1t has
now extended to seventeen provinces
and in Canton and Hankow the situa-
ton is just as bad as in Shanghai.
The Americans are not doing 20 per
cent of the business they formerly did
and at Hongkong the Chinese were
purchasing Australian flour at a much
higher price than that quoted by Amer
leans.
The Chinese state that they will
not trade with the Americans until
there is modification of the exclusion
laws, but this, I told them, was hardly
probable. In the event of the United
States falling to pass a law less
stringent than the present one the
Chinese will adopt more drastic meas
ures. The boycott has developed into
an anti-foreign feeling and the British
and German business concerns in the
Orient are suffering the loss of con.
siderable trade" ...

State Department Has Further Ad.
vices From Santo Domingo.
Washington, Dec 29.-The state d.
partment has had another brief diS,
patch from Santo Domingo confirmin s
the preceding report to the effect that
President Morales was said to be
about fifteen miles west of San Dc,
mingo city fighting the troops of tbs
cabinet. ~
Mr.. Joubert, the Dominican ministei
here, called upon Secretary Root al
the state department to talk over Dc.
minican affairs. MI. Joubert had moth
ing to indicate that President Morales
had been wounded nor did he think
that the fighting reported to have
taken place near Jaima was serious.
He doubted very much whether Mo.
rales intended to start another revolu.
ton. 1t was probable, he thought, that
Morales would wait for a time to see
what effect the upheaval in Santo Do.
mingo would have upon the relations
between that country and the United
States. In the minister's opinion the
modus vivendi under which Dominican
customs revenues are now being col
lected by Americans appointed by the
Dominican president for that purpose
will not be affected by Morales retire
ment, for the dominant party in the
cabinet still stands strongly to the
existing Arrangement.

trial on its merits.
The courts conclusions are lengthy,
occupying fourteen typewriter pages.
On the motion to strike out the para
graph in the complaint objected to by
the brewing company the court says:
It has been shown that the question
of intent of the brewing company. the
transit company and the common car
riers is material and vital issue in
the case. Where an act is clearly I'M
lawful, with or without intent, proof
is excluded. But in case of an equiyo-
cal act, which is unlawful if so intend
ed though not otherwise, evidence of
unconnected facts is admissible to
show the intent"

NSURRECTI0N in MOSCOW
RAPIDLY Being CRUSHED
ReYOutlonES Seem Unable to Offer Effective Opposition
70 Regular 1roops.--st Petersburg Uprising
Now Unlikely

Moscow, Dec. 29.-The backbone of
the insurrection is broken and the up
rising here is rapidly going to pieces.
The revolutionists are able to keep
mp only guerrilla warfare, but the
ease with which they can move small
j detachments from place to place rem
ders the task Of suppressing them
slow and tedious. The Brunnaia quar-
ter has been cleared of the members
Ct the "drujina," as the fighting or
Eantzation Of the revolutionists Is
called. They have transferred their
operations to East Tverskaia, consist
Ing principally Of shipping from the
roofs Of houses, occasionally throwing
bomb on advancing patrols and max.
Ing OF on the appearance of artillery.
All the troops OF the Moscow garrison,
Including the former disaffected Ros-
ton grenadiers and the achievements
which are employed in crushing the
revolutionists, are still insufficient to
thoroughly occupy the territory won,
thus enabling the revolutionists to
slip into vacated territory SO soon as
the troops move on. Many of the at
tacks on patrols are seemingly made
out Of pure spirit Of bravado, since
they are completely futile from a
strategic standpoint. The remnants of
the insurrection now lack cohesion or
D head.
City Resembles Battlefield.
The city of Moscow bears the pic
turesque appearance Of a battlefield.
Officers are everywhere seen galloping
through the streets or being driven
about In rapidly moving sleighs, &C
companied by escorts of dragons or
Cossacks. The center of the city for
the first time shows signs of life. The
stores are reopened and the inhab-
itants, who had been cooped up for
i've days, were Yenturing out for a
breath Of fresh air. !,
The troops began operations during
the morning at the triumphal arch,
bombarding and demolishing an inn
mense barricade near the car stables
Of the Belgian company, which had
been built behind overturned tram
ears. Thence, slowly piyoting from
the arch, the columns swept eastward,
clearing all the. streets Off Tverskaia
and north Of the boulevard, which sep
erated the battle-ground from the CEN
ter Of the city. A correspondent Of
the Associated Press accompanied one
OF the columns for an hour, during
which time soldiers of the adrujina"
