A Guerilla War Rages in
Moscow.
Continued from Page One.)

Among the lower classes which do
not sympathize with the desire to
overthrow the Emperor the feeling is
becoming intense and in many cases
strikers have been beaten to death.
The correspondent predicts that the
crushing of the rebellion is likely to
be followed by the most horrible
atrocities 'if the black hundreds are
let loose" Governor General Douba-
soft, unknown to the public, is direct
ing matters from his headquarters in
the Metropolitan Hotel, which is bar
ricaded and defended bS machine
guns.
The concentration of the troops in
the city to fight the insurgents allow
ed the strikers and revolutionar.es Il
free hand in neighboring industrial
towns like Perovo and Lubertai In
the former place 800 armed men were
sent to reinforce the insurgents and
at LubertZi the situation became 50
threatening that Mr. Purdy, vice
president of the New York Air Brake
Company, the works of which in that
town are valued at S1,0c0,000, sent
an urgent message to the governor
general today through the American
consul, appealing for the protection
IF the property and of the one hun
ired American who are employed
there.
General Doubassoff promptly dis
patched q squadron of dragons, and
this fact is considered as the best
proof that he is confident he has the
situation in hand.

which have been successfully con-
ducteI now for four or five years,
averaging about 25 students year.
There is talk also Of special course
IN Military Tactics during the spring,

will be very popular. and would prove
helpful in many ways. The fine dis

Report of State, Private

NEW INSTITUTIONS
Number Under State Control 238 a:
Against 1873 in 1904. Five Years
AGO Less Than 65 Banks of
Class. Increase in Resources
$9,491,356.44.

The Railroad Commission yester-
day concluded the tabulation of the
reports sent to it under the law for
the year ending at the close Of bust
ness, November 9th, of State, private
and savings banks.
During the past year there have
been organized fifty-tivc new banks of
the class reported or, the total num-
Der of such banks being now 238, as
against 1873 for the previous year
Within the last few years there has
been q marked increase in the or
ganization of both State and private
banks and savings institutions. Only
five years ago there were less than
siXty-five of these banks in operation
within the State.
The summaries show a most graft
flying increase in the resources and
usefulness of these institutions, which
reflect the advance in prosperity and
enterprise generally throughout the
State.
The total resources Cf the banks
shown by the reports are Sal 1,095,-
539.92: the resources indicated at
the close of business on November
10th, 1904, were $31.604,1S3.42.

fore, be seen to be the large amount
OF $9,491, ,356.46.

 "The political situation in some re- spects is not as good as it ought to be. A wave Of ladronism has swept over the province of Cavite, and it has been found necessary to suspend the writ of habeas corpus in the provinces of Cavite and Batangas. The same was true of Samar, but the use of troops on Samar and the use of the scouts and consta abulary in Cavite has put an end to this business However, there were two or three men responsible for the keeping up of the ladronism, who had not been captured Com nlaints were made against the con stabulary, and while many of them were unfounded, it was probably true that q change in the constabulary ought to be effected, and it is now under considera- tion by the government.
 The distressing agricultural depres- sion, due to the loss of 75 per cent of the agricultural cattle, drouth, locust and cholera, as well as other causes, will probably not cease to be felt for several years This naturally subjects the gov ernment to criticism because this alien government is much more likely to be criticised for existing conditions, how ever free from blame in respect to them, than native government.
 some nf the younger men of educa- tion have been advocating immediate independence. It therefore becomes necessary tn state with considerable em- phasis the policy of the administration on this subject and to say that in the opinion ut the administration there was no possible h"pe of independence short uf a generation, because the people could not bc iittr,l fer self government tn that time; indeed it will probably take a much luugvr peris-l.

 Mir.

In his communication to Attorney General Moody Mr. Knapp calls attention to the small efforts of the officers of the revenue cutter service to protect these natives, especially the women, who, he says, are kidnapped every summer and held in captivity aboard vessels for months.

Hence the sight which some of the irreconcilable Fili- pinos had hoped for-to wit, constant combat between republican and demo- cratic members, with the Filipino people as an audience-was not presented, and l can not express too emphatically my pleasure at the patriotic stand which our democratic brethren took in this matter in remitting diffusion of differ ences of opinion to the proper repre- sentatives in congress.
