AFFAIRS In RUSSIA
DARK DEEDS OF VIOLENCE and
.BLOODSHED REPORTED.
All Parts of Great Empire in Turmoil
Troops in Manchuria on Point of
Revolt Because of Failure to Get
Pay or Proper Food-Strike on Rail-
road-Linevitch Reports to Car.

Dark deeds of violence and blood
shed were reported from all parts or
the Russian realm the past week. In
st. Petersburg the week opened with
the military arrest of M. Kus taleff,
president of the executive council OF
the striking workmen. This was i'm
mediately followed by wholesale ar
rests of leaders of the insurgent peas
ant leagues throughout the empire, M.
White having entered upon a more
rigorous policy of putting down dis
order.
In Moscow the week opened with
panic on the bourse. The government
met this startling situation by giving
out reassuring statements of Russian
finances and the panic seems to have
been arrested
Meanwhile the storm center shifted
from st. Petersburg, Moscow and the
Odessa country to the Baltic provin-
ces in the west. The ancient kingdom
of Lithuania is afiame with the spirit
of revolution. A provisional govern
ment has been set up in Riga, capital
of the government of Livonia and seat
of the governor general of the Baltic
provinces.
Riga is a city of about 100000 pop
ulation and is on the Duna river,
about 10 miles above its mouth in the
Gulf of Riga, 1868 miles southwest OF
st. Petersburg. The new government
there has declared the separation OF
the Lithuanian people from the Rus
III ~ ground
Riga is largely Germanic, and Lithua
mans are bitter against the German
landlords. Bands of peasants are burn
ing the estates anu numbering land
owners. Lithuania was formerly an
Independent kingdom, but in the 18th
century it entered into a union with
Poland. With the dismemberment OF
the Polish empire, the country passed
to Russia and has since been a part Of
that empire.
The Russian government has an ar
my in Riga and dispatches report there
has been fierce fighting in the streets
and that machine guns were used by
the cars soldiers against the in
surgents.
The cars affairs were rendered Still
more desperate the past week b,
alarming reports from his Manchurial
army. The troops in Manchuria are
the point of revolt because of failure
to receive their pay and inability o
the government to give them prope
food and clothing, due to the suspen
sion of traffic on the transsiberian rail
road, arising from the strike. 1t i
said that General Linevitch has advis
ed the car that there is grave DANCE
of a general revolt.

BIG INCREASE OF RRITAIN's POOR
Pauperism Grows in Some Localities
in Alarming Proportions.

London.-In connection with the re-
cent agitation started by the army Of
unemployed IN this city the figures
given in the 34th annual report of the
local government board showing the
great increase of pauperism which
marked the close of 1904 are of espe-
cial interest. In December year ago
the number of paupers in England and
Wales was S2S,091, an increase of no
fewer than S3,433, as compared with
the same month in 1908.
On January 1, 1905, me number of
those relieved had actually risen to
932,267.
In London, on January 1, one in
every 81 of the population was in re-
ceipt of relief; in England and Wales
one in SO. The proportion of paupers
to population in London, 29.S per 1000,
was higher than in any Of the preced-
ing "a years.

GUT EXPENSES ON THE IsTHMUs.
Roosevelt Gives High Officials Strict
Orders.

President Roosevelt has taken up
the matters connected with the 18TH
milan canal, as developed by debate in
the senate during the first of the week.
He is determined to prevent further
criticism of the character put forward
by Senators Tillman, Culberson and
others.
Senators Allison and Hale, both
members of the appropriation commit
tee, were present. The president made
it plain to Mr.. Shonts that the literary
bureau in charge of Secretary Bishop
must be at once discontinued and Mr..
Bishop confine his services purely to
administrative matters. He also dis
cussed the advisability of reducing his
salary from the $4,000 now paid to
$4,000, or some other moderate sum. It
was also made apparent to Chairman
Shonts that if he still has an official
connection with the Glover Leaf rail
road, il must be severed Immediately.
Senator Tillman declared that Mr..
Shonts is still active president of the
system and neither Mr.. Shonts nor
any of the administration senators
have entered a denial of the declara-
ton.
The president further gave Mr.
Snonts much advice regarding the con
duct of affairs on the isthmus. 1t is
prescribed in the presidents orders
that the canal commission must leave
at once for that place.
The bill appropriating $11 100000 fol
the canal work, passed by the senate
yesterday, provides that within 80 days
the secretary of the treasury must fur
nish estimates to the senate and house
appropriations committees of al
salaries paid those employed on cana
work except laborers and unskillet
llaborers. This feature of the bill
was discussed with Senators ALI
son and Hale. 1t is believed tina
,, many reforms will be instituted. in tn
administration of the canal before an
; other appropriation is requested from
congress. This work of reform mus
/, begin at once, as Secretary Taft say
the $11 100000 now being obtained vii
last no longer than the first of Apr
at the outside.
, In the meantime Senator Tillma
will begin strong agitation after tn
holiday recess for a thorough invest
: cation of the entire canal situation. H
. will be opposed by the republicans, bu
= supported by the democrats. Eve
: some Of the republicans favor an II
quiry, and Senator Tillman threaten
to cause much trouble unless matter
are put on such basis as to proven

REVOLUTION is EMINENT.
on Both Sides-Mutny of Soldiers
Has CoIlapsed-They ImpIore Par
don of Their General-Officers Re-
sumed Command.

Moscow, Dec. 18.-Conditlons IN this
city have never been worse anu there
is strong possibility that a revolution
airy government will be established
and soon have control of Moscow.
During the last few days there have
been incessant street fighting and the
casualties on both sides have been
very large.
The mutiny of the Rostof Grenadier
regiment collapsed ANONYMOUSLY Sun
day, owing to internal dissension and
the discomfort of a large portion of the
soldiers with the program of the So
cialist leaders, who wished to force
them to open collision with the loyal
troops.
After the meeting two battalions
with a machine gun deserted. The
mutineers sent a deputation to General
Plavoffski, saying they had returned
to duty, imploring his pardon and vol
unteering to enter the barracks and
seize the revolutionary committee so
as to prove their repentance. The
leaders endeavoreu in vain to hold the
other battalions in line, but the de-
lection of their comrades took all the
!; heart from the malcontents.
|, Upon General Plavofski's ultimatum
that he would open fire unless they i'm
mediately surrendered, the remaining
mutineers laid down their arms and
| delivered up Private Scalaroff and
: other members of the revolutionary
: committee, as well as several civilian
agtators who were in the barracks.
The officers then resumed command of
r the regiment.
l The Rostof grenadier mutineers had
Q held the fort under command of Pri
vate Scalaroff, who acted as president
of the soldiers meeting In the win
l dows of the barracks mounted machine
= guns defied the Sumysha regiment and
the local troops which surrounded the
d mutineers.
Three other grenadier regiments, the

were in sympathy with the rest Of
S their comrades, compelled all theil

PEACHES ON HIS FELLOW THUGS
Tells of Murder and Burglaries ir

Sherman, aged 10, manager of the Ar
gus Publishing company's stationery
on suspicion of brutally numbering
Sam Studzinski, an old pawnbroker,
August 20, for the purpose of robbery,
has confessed, impAcating DR.. E. A.
Long, a dentist; Walter Gooch, former
night marshal of the town, and Russell
Hortop and David Atchison, young men
of the town, in the murder, as well as
in a postoffice burglary and many 9TH

Sherman.
County Attorney Escapes Death.
Roy E. Ayers, county attorney, who
has been active in solving the murder
mystery, has made public the fact
that an attempt was made, December

tempt would put him out of the case
by killing or frightening him. Mr.
and Mrs. Ayers were away from home
until 2 a. m. and when they returned
found the house had been entered

points out the fact that he was not II

berry, and this statement is confirmet
by the officers. Sherman has told con
Trajectory stories in regard to some O

with the crimes, and some doubt is ex
pressed by the officers.
