SPREADS TO MOSCOW
OUTBREAK At ST. PETERSBURG
PREclPITATEs STRIKE At
THE OLD CAPITAL

st. Petersburg, Jan. 24.-The most
startling feature in the situation now
is the news that several factories in
Moscow have closed and that the
workingmen in the old capital Of Mos
COW are repeating the tactics of their
fellow workmen of the new capital,
marching from shop to shop and mill
to mill, demanding that the establish
ments be shut down. The whole city
is reported to be in a state of great
excitement over the news of the blood
shed here Sunday which has precipi-
tated Immediately the strike that had
been planned for Wednesday. Mos
cow has more w0rkmen and less
troops than St Petersburg and be-
sides Is Just now The heart of the Lib
eral movement and the danger of
bloodier occurrences there than have
been witnessed here are proportionate-
ly greater. A rising at Moscow is al
so more likely to have greater results
industrially and politically than that
in St. Petersburg.

WITH VENEZUELA.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The informa-
ton respecting the situation at Ca.
racas received by the state department
from Minister Bowen in a cablegram
of Thursdays date is to the effect that
President Castro has made a PROPOSE
ton for the settlement of the asphalt
claims and other issues between the
United States and Venezuela Of q ma
ture that makes It impossible of &C.
ceptance by our government and, be-
ing notified of that fact and having loft
the capital for an indefinite period. he
has terminated the negotiations at
least for the time being. The effect Of
this action is to place the relations be-
tween the United States and Venezu.
ella under a decided strain. However,
there is no intention on the part Of the
administration to act with undue haste
and though it IL now almost certain
that some action Of a compulsory ma
ture will in the end be forced upon
our government this will not occur
until every resource of diplomacy has
been exhausted.

Attention
Farmers.

Why remain Il. the North and
stay in doors six months in tho
year consuming what you raise
the other six mc1the? -. p
Go South where you can work
out doors every month in the
year, and where you are produc-
ing something the year round.
II you are a stock raiser you
know your stock are now ''eat-
ing their heads off" and besides,
have to be protected from the
rigors OF winter by expensive
shelter.
Economical stock feeding ~
quires the combination of both
fesh-forming and fat-forming
foods in certain proportions.
Alabama and Florida produce in
abundance the velvet bean and
cassava. the first a flesh produ-
cer, and the latter a fat produ.
Ger, and they are the cheapest
and best fattening materials
known to the world.
More money can be made and
with less labor, in general farm
ing, fruit and berry growing,
and truck gardening along our
road in the South than in any
other section in the Union.

about 100 dead or wounded.
Is was evident that the soldiers de-
l1berately spared Father Gopon. One
of the clergymen by his side was
wounded, but he escaped untouched
and hid behind wall until the Cos
sacks passed and he was then spirited
away by workmen. -. Ss- y .= !.
The estimates Of the number Of dead
and wounded continue to vary greatly.
as at least majority of the killed and
wounded were carried of by their
comrades. Few of these taken to the
hospitals have been reported. The
official account of the rioting by no
means indicates the total Of killed and
wounded. From careful investigation
by the staff of the Associated Press 1t
appears that the estimate of 500 cabled
seems liberal. ::>< ,s.rt.~.

where they believed Emperor Nicholas
would meet them and receive their

The emperor was not there. Instead
the people were met by thousands Of
troops, massed in solid squares.
Then the crowd began to abuse the
soldiers. Every move Of the troops
was met with Kisses and cries.
Finally the order was given to clear
the crowds away. The horse guards
charged. Shrieks of the wounded re-

PROSTATE.
Men and women, Infatuated to frenzy
by the loss of loved ones, cursed the
soldiers while they retreated. Men
harangued the crowds, telling them
that the emperor had failed them and
that the time had come to act. Men
began to build barricades in the New
sky Prospect and at other points, u.s.
ing any material that came to hand
and even chopping down telegraph
poles.
Fighting meantime continued at va
rious places, soldiers volleying and
charging the mob. The whole city
was in state of panic. Women were
running through the streets seeking
lost members Of their families. Sew

troops.
Towards o'clock in the evening
the crowds, exhausted, began to dis

With darkness it was feared the mob

PAST WEEK OF WAR AND PEACE.
Big Battle Is Delayed Awaiting Peace
Negotiations.

The week has seen no important en-
gagements at the seat of war in Man
churia, where Oyama is gathering
large achievements from Japan, but
is apparently delaying his forward
movement in hope that farther blood
shed may be ayerted by the adoption
of an armistice as the first step in
peace negotiations. Interest in the
war situation has therefore centered
almost entirely in the efforts of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to bring the bellig
erents together in a sincere effort to
establish peace.
The week has made it palmer that
Russia has been forced to recognize
the hopelessness of further fighting,
and that she is ready to end the war,
provided favorable terms can be OBJ
tanned from Japan. The czar's gov
eminent has assented to the proposals
for a conference, which may be held
in this country after the signing of
truce by Generals Linevitch and Oya-
ma. The summer is likely to be we'll
advanced, however, before the two
powers will be able to agree to terms,
if, indeed, agreement be possible.
Russia, with her usual policy of
brave bluff, is stoutly affirming that
peace is out of the question if Japan
demands an indemnity. Japan is sue
cessfully keeping sercet her terms of
peace but it is believed that she will
demand the cession of Port Arthur
and perhaps Vladivostock, with large
area of Manchuria, the virtual control
of Korea, and an indemnity to cover
her war expenses, amounting probably
to more than $UJU,000,000.
There is thus ample room for fail
ure of the negotiations, when they
shall have at last begun. This will
not be for several weeks.

BOWEN IS DISMISSED
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT REMOVES
HIM FROM VENEZUELA.
His Conduct Toward Asst. Secretary
LOOMS Was the Cause.-The Was
in Line for Promotion in the Dip
lomatic Service-Taft's Report on
the Case a Long One.

Washington, June 22.-The dismis-
sal of Herbert w. Bowen, for some
years United States minister to Venez.
uela, and the exoneration of Assistant
Secretary of State Francis B. Loomis
of the allegations brought against him
by Mr.. Bowen are the outcome of the
Loomis- Bowen controversy, which has
attracted wide attention for many
months past.
Thsi disposition of the case is made
by President Roosevelt in letter adj
dressed to Secretary Taft, approving
Mr.. Taft's report on his findings and
conclusions in the case. The president
scathingly arraigns Minister Bowen,
declaring that his conduct is especial
ly reprehensible; that Mr.. Bowen
asked one of his witnesses to enter the
employ of certain company for the
purpose OF " in plain words, of steal
ing" documents which he hoped might
incriminateoMr. LOOMS, and that Mr..
Bowen has evidently for many months
indeed, for the last two years, devoted
himself to hunting up scandal and gos-
sip until it became monomania, land
caused him ito show complete disloy-
atty to the country he represented.
The president said that he had hoped
to promote Mr.. Bowen, as during much
of his service he has done good work,
but that his usefulness in the diplo-
matte service is now at an end. The
president adds that he would direct
Mr.. Bowen's regsination be requested
but for his statement that he would
consider resignation an admission of
misconduct, and the dismissal is there
for ordered. The letter quotes CORES
pondence and testimony.
The president states that it appears
that Mr.. Bowen, while minister, Sc
cured the publication of attacks on Mr..
LOOMS and furnished to the press docu
ments pending before the state depart
ment for APPROVAL. and that his expla-
nation is inexcusable and shows his en-
tire unfness for the service. Even if
Mr.. LOOMS lad been guilty, says the
presidnet, Mr.. Bowen's conduct would
be objectionable. The letter quoted
cenrtain correspondence and testimony.
The report of Secretary Taft on the
case, on which the presidents action is
based, is voluminous document, re-
viewing the charges and the evidence
taken.

Arrested Presidents Chauffeur.

Washington, June 21.-It has devel-
oped that President Roosevelt's chat
feur was overhauled for speeding while
carrying the president, his son, Theo-
dore, and two of the latter's friends,
along the conduit road to Grea Falls.
Two policemen, considering that the
Chauffeur was going at speed greater
than that allowed by law, gave chase
and overhauled the automobile. When
they learned who the occupants were
they hastily withdrew after the presi-
dent had cautioned the Chauffeur to slow
up little.
The two policemen had persued the
automobile for half mile and on cat
ching up with the it, charged the chat
feur with running at the rate of %
miles an hour when the police regul&-
lions allow but Is miles. The police
men notified the Chauffeur that he would
be required to appear i'll the police
court, when the president, who was in
the rear seat, inquired the reason. The
latter's identity becoming known, the
matter was dropped. When the police
Linen started after the automobile the
Chauffeur, it is thought, probably con-
cluded it was part of the program for
the protection of the president.
