Government. Statement RidieuIed.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 23.-The gov.
eminent issued a statement at noon
today, saying that seyenty-six were
killed and 1888 wounded Sunday. This
is ridiculed, as the lowest outside esti.
mate Is 200 dead and 1000 wounded.
One of the police officials said the
total casualties were 1000. A govern.
ment statement, addressed to public
opinion Of foreign countries, blames
the workingmen for the bloodshed, and
says the government took the repres-
sive measures because the strike is the
insurrectionary doctrine. The govern
ment statement in part is as follows:
Father Gopon appeared before the
strikers Saturday and spread. his revo
lutionary doctrines. Sunday he drew
up a petition to the czar containing the
insulting demands. Some points OF yes
terday's bloody collision occurred be-
tween people and soldiers. At one
point a barricade was erected with a
red flag and shots were fired at the
troops from houses. The same meas
ures are in force today az on yester-
day"
Of1cials this morning believed the
uprising to have been quelled and an
easier feeling prevailed. The troops
removed the barricades from the
streets, but later the municipal build
ing in the second district was demol-
ished by the people, while the strikers
issued a pronunciamento that they
would fight to the last drop of blood.
Clashes with military are reported
from all sections of the city. The gov
eminent has seized the telegraph lines,
and news OF the uprising is not known
In the interior district of the empire.
Martial law has been declared at Mos.

The Priest to the Gar.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 23.-The follow
ing is Father Gopon's appeal to the
czar, which he desired to present to the
emperor, and which was the main
cause of the slaughter. The govern
ment declares 1t to be insulting. This
Is the text:
"Sovereign:-I fear your ministers
have not told you the full truth about
the situation. The whole people trust
In you, but have resolved to appear at
the winter palace at 2 O'Clock this
Sunday afternoon in order to inform
you of their needs. If, vascillating, you
do not appear before the people, then

wounded was the result. Father Co
pom, although a bright and shining light
for the shots of the soldiers, was not
touched, although men and women fell
all around him. 1t was evident the
C~ossacks would not shoot the priest,
whatever their orders were. One regi-
ment declined to fire.
After a long battle the people were
dispersed, but only to prepare for a
greater clash today. The strikers have
no arms. but everything available to be
turned into a weapon is being gotten
ready for a sanguinary conflict. The
working people are by no, means blood
thirsty. There is no looting or pillag-
ing, but they are fearfuiiy Infatuated
against the soldiers by the slaughter
of their fellow-men. 1t is believed
here that all through the empire there
is i~nsurrection today.
The looting of stores was sternly
suppressed. 1t develops that a great
amount of explosives was stolen from
the Putiloff powder works. The worst
slaughter of yesterday was not at the
winter palace, but on Basil island. The
strikers erected a barricade and de-
Tended it against the bayonets and
rifles of the soldiers with ice picks,
tools, clabs and chunks of ice. Wit
nesses say the carnage there was
frightful, and heaps of dead and
wounded lay everywhere. They esti-
mate 1000 were shot down. A priest
was shot dead as he prayed for the
people.

FIRE IN PANTRY
OF BELTZ RESIDENCE.

A fire in the pantry of the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. T. Beltz, at the
corner of Fourth and Tnornburgh
streets, at $3.50 this afternoon, was ex-
tinguished without much loss, the fire
department making a splendid run,
but workmen on the Methodist church
and lear %neighbors putting out the
fire before the hose companies could
get streams of water. Mrs. Beltz was
cleaning the pantry, using a lighted
lamp. Becoming nervous, she dropped
the lamp, which broke and set fire to
the Gil. The flames communicated to
her clothing and to the woodwork, in
the pantry, scorching the walls and
causing some breaking of dishes. The
loss is not extensive and is fully COW
cred by insurance.

A BURGLARY
THAT FAILED
SALOON ENTERED BY TRANSOM
AND THIEF GETS NOT A PEN
NY FOR HIS TROUBLE.
Transom Removed from Over Door,
Chair Brought from Burned Build
ing Across Street, Room Entered
With Difficulty and Drawers Open
ed and Rifled for Nothing.

A burglary entirely successful as to
the burglary but a glaring failure from
a financial statement was committed
last night at Otto Schwatke's saloon
on Grand avenue, between First and
Second streets. The burglar opened
every drawer. peered into every nook
and corner, tumbled things about like
an Iowa house in a cyclone and left
not a penny better off in cash and
Otto believes not a drink better off as
q tippler. There was nothing missing,
as far as could be learned, and Mr..
Schwatke is one chair ahead.
Entrance to the saloon was made
through the transom " the door in
the east wall of the building, leading
from the alley. Here the pane of
glass was removed bodily, the burglar
getting a chair from the burned stock
in the Jensen store on Second street to
make him tall enough to do the work.
Once the glass was removed it was
easy to climb through the opening and
into the saloon, where he had things
his own way.
When Mr.. Schwatke retired from the
place last night he took all the money.
removed the rec from the door,
left a light burning on the bar and
opened the cash register. When he
returned at 6 o'clock this morning he
found all the drawers open and their
contents scattered about the floor, the
drawers in his little desk at the front
end of the bar removed and their con-
tents scattered about, a drawer con-
tanning nails, an electric light globe
and other odds pried open II the
whole house showing the presence of
some fellow who was after cash-cold
cash, and nothing else.
A hammer was in the drawer that
was pried open. This drawer was I'M
locked. having no lock at all, but the
handle of the hammer caught against
the front of the bar and made it i'm
possible to pull the draw ar out. The
burglar used ar ice tool and forced
this drawer. Mr.. Schwatke is not sure
but he misses a nail or two, probably
used by the burglar to vent his spleen
and relieve the chagrin. The nail is
fully covered by burglar insurance and
the loss is ininistimal.
The burglar left the burned chair.
which was added to the curios in the
beer hall. He pulled a hall chair to
the door to climb up on when he left
the building, which was evidently by
the transom he had used in gaining an
entrance. There is no clue and very
little effort, as his own lack of reward
is punishment enough. Mr.. Schwatke
says the fellow evidently did not take
a drink or a cigar to pay him for the
climb, the effort Of removing the glass
and the chair he brought from across
the street. The burglary is n Of the
most successful-and unsuccessful-in
the history Of the city.
It was learned late this afternoon
that a AS Colts revolver and belt had
been stolen from the saloon. 1t wal
lying under the bar and was moi
missed until Mr.. Greenbeck came al
10 o'clock to take his shift behind the
bar.
