MACHINE GUNS ARE USED
IN THE STREETS OF RIGA
Bloody Collision Between Troops and
United Peasants and Workmen--
Country Practically Abandoned
to Revoiutionists.

St. Petersburg.-It seems to be be,
yond question that bloody collisions
have occurred between troops and
the united peasantry and workmen il
the streets of Riga, during which ma
chine guns were used. The situation
Is most serious in the country, which
is practically abandoned to the revo
lutionary bands owing to the concen.
tration of the troops in the cities and
towns. Against some of the estates
where the landlords, aided by a few
faithful adherents, are attempting tC
protect their property, the revolu.
tionists are conducting regular mill
tary operations. They reduced the
garrison Of the estate of Baron vor
Loewis to submission after a majority
of the defendants had been killed, and
plrlndered and burned the buildings
and carried off the baron. The sur
vivors were made prisoners.
The law and order elements are
now the principal hope of averting the
cataclysm which the revolutionary
parties are offered. Upon the early
convocation of the national assembly
the pressure for which is constantly
increasing, it is generally believed
that Premier Witte will dispense with
the services of Interior Minister Dur
novo, against whom all classes have
risen, and the appointment of M
Guchkoff, prominent member Of the
Moscow zemstvo, who is said to be
ready to accept the Office as his sue
cessor.

REBELS THROW down
THE GAGE OF BATTLE
ProIatariat Issues Terrible Arraign
ment of the Russian Government,
Charging That Bureaucracy
Has Squandered Gov
ornamental Funds.

St. Petersburg THE proletariat or.
CARNATIONS, through the invisible
government" threw a bombshell into
the camp of the official government
Saturday by issuing manifesto, fol-
lowing the form Of a regular imperial
document, declaring the bankruptcy of
the treasury, ordering the proletariat
army everywhere to refuse to pay
taxes of any description, to insist on
the payment of wages in gold or sill
yer, and to withdraw all their deposits
from the savings banks in gold.
The manifesto is terrible indict'
ment of the manner in which the bu.
reaucracy has brought the country to
financial ruin, asserting that the gov.
eminent has squandered not only the
country's income, but the proceeds OF
the foreign loans on railroads, the
army and the fleet, leaving the people
without schools or roads, yet it Is de-
clared there is no money to feed the
soldiers, and everywhere there are in
surrections of the beggared and
starved troops and sailors.
The manifesto even charges the
government with using the deposits in
the government savings banks to spec
ulate on the Bourse, and with covering
up its chronic deficits in the interest
Of the immense debt by the proceeds
of the foreign loans, which are at last
exhausted. The rich, it is further de-
clared, have already taken warning
and are converting their property into
securities and gold, and are sending
them abroad.
The only salvation for the country.
according to the manifesto, Is the
overthrow of the autocracy by con-
stituent assembly, and the sooner the
government falls the better. There.
fore, the last source of the existence
of the old regiments financial reve'
nue-must be stopped.
The document is signed by the mem
bers of the Workmen's council, the
committee of the Pan-Russian union
and the central committees of the So.
cial Democrats, Social Revolutionists
and Socialists of Poland.
This great step Of the revolutionary,
which throws down the gage of battle
to the government, was prepared with
such secrecy that the authorities were
taken off their guard and did not even
attempt to prevent its publication in
the newspapers. The revolutionary
leaders expect it will be followed by
reprisals and arrests, but all this has

Revolt Spreads to All Parts Of cour.
land, Railway Communication Cut
and Many Stations Seized
Sailors Said to be Joining In
the Fight Against tho
Government.

st. Petersburg.-The' governments
latest advices from the Baltic prov
inces, forwarded part Of the way from
Riga by courier, are of the most
alarming character. Bands Of thou
sands of Lettish peasants are roam
ing the country in the vicinity Of
Riga, putting the torch to the houses
on all the estates, and even. threaten
ing the town of Riga itself.
The districts of Riga and Vendor
are entirely in the hands OF the in
surgents. The revolt is spreading to
all parts Of Courland. All railway
communication with Riga is cut. The
insurgents have seized a number OF
stations on the three railroads lead
ing from that city and are advancing
against others.
According to the governments in
formation all sailors from the COM
mercial steamers in the harbor of
Riga have joined the strike. The
government claims that the troops
there are loyal, though inadequate.
The situation is also bad at Mitau,
where on December II the troops fired
on the rioters.
The government is making little
Roadway in crushing the telegraph
strike. The wires Of the few lines
over which service has been temper
arily restored are constantly cut, and
not a single wire is working out of
st. Petersburg. At the present rate
weeks will elapse before the service
can be really restored.

young men of the town, in the MUIR

of the town. The jewelry stolen from
the Studzinsky place was recovered
On Sunday from a place where it had
been cached by Sherman
Roy q. Ayers, county attorney, who
has been active in solving the murder
mystery, has made public the fact
that an attempt was made December
1 to poison himself and wife. It is
his theory that it was thought the at.
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
they found the house had been en-
tered. When Mrs. Ayers took a drink
from bucket Of water she noticed
peculiar taste, and an analysis by
chemist revealed the presence of a
large quantity of strychnine in the
water.
All whom Sherman has implicated
in the crimes to which he has con.
fessed are under arrest.
Every one Of the suspects denies
absolutely that there is any truth in
the story told by Sherman. DR.. Long
points out that he was not in town at
the time of the postoffice robbery
and this statement is confirmed by
the officers. Sherman has told con.
Trajectory stories in regard to some
of the details connecting these per-
sons with the crime, and some doubt
is expressed by the officers.

Outlook in MancI,uria.

The outbreak of the mutinous spirit
in the Manchurian army is partly at
tributable to the failure to pay and
properly feed the troops. The latter
problem is especially difficult, owing
to the impossibility Of forwarding ade-
quate provisions from Russia on ac-
count of the practical paralysis of the
railway to Siberia, compelling the pur-
chase of supplies from the Chinese,
for which adequate funds are not
available. The authorities have now
hurriedly forwarded $12,000,000 to the
army in Manchuria.
