5000 Killed: $4,000 Wounded.
London, Dec. 27.-The correspond-
ent of the Daily Telegraph at ST. Pc
tersburg, in dispatch dated GAS last
evening, says:
cat an early hour this morning the
casualties at Moscow were estimated
at 5000 killed and $4,000 wounded,
with the fighting still proceeding.
THE inhabitants of Moscow have
been forbidden to leave theirs dwell
ings after o'clock in the evening.
1T is impossible to move about the
city in consequence of the frequency
of stray bullets. Many inr:ment per.
sons have been accidentally killed
"a scarcity of prov!sjcas is threat
ened."
Cannon Firing Continues.
The same correspondent at 1898
p. m. says:
Your Moscow correspondents tel
egrams have not been accepted be-
cause all private messages were re-
fused this afternoon.
1T is learned, however. that can
non firing is now proceeding in vari-
ous parts of the city where tonight,
very near the railroad stations, the
barricades erected by the revolution
aries. are being desperately defended.
''The Kursk terminus at Moscow is
being pillaged and many wagons laden
with provisions are being looted.
''The emperor is engaged daily in
reviewing at T.ai ;skoe-Selo the regi-
ments of the ST. Petersburg district.
The spirit of the troops is decidedly
loyal.
Blood Cloud Thickens.
From .fragmentary accounts re.
ceived from Moscow, gather that the
civil war has bought no decisive ac-
ton, but only tL;ckening of the
blood cloud, an intensifying of the
horrors and OF increase of the pre-
vailing bitterness.
1.-THE driving force behind both the
troops and the rebels is no longer that
of enthusiasm or of any human Inn
pulse. It is the force Of superhuman
hate, and hence the deeds reported
are not the acts Of patriots, soldiers
or otherwise, but the enormities Of
madmen. !.
1T is Impossible to understand how
any emotion, evsa 81 the extremes of
despair of hate, c4u impart such fool
hardy courage as some of the rebels
display.
Shoot to Kill.
For every barricade destroyed
Sunday, two Or three appeared in
their places. Orders were given by
the revolutionists u shoot only when
there was good hope of bringing a.
man down, but G.';arwise to tire out
the troops until trey lost patience.

MAY MARRY AT SEVEN.

It will, perhaps, he news to many that in this country a boy and girl may contract @ marriage at the age of ' and that the marriage can only be avoided or finally ratified when the boy and girl reach the ages of IA and F. respectively. The minimum ages of IA and 12, which with us are necessary for final and legal marriage, are also the minimum ages recognized in Spain and Portugal, Switzerland, Greece, and, for Roman Catholics only, in Hungary Germany, France, Russia and Saxony do not recognize as legal marriages of boys under 1S, while in France the bride must have counted at least if teen summers, an in Russia twelve. Turkey, perhaps, offers more facilities for the marriage of infants than any other European country, Turkish re- quires ments are satisfied if brode and bridegroom are old enough to toddle from the cradle to the, altar and to understan the meaning of the cere- mony of marriage.-London Tit-Bits.

EDNA IN HER LONDON PLAY.

A Happy Combination of Play and
 Music-Some of the Qualities of the
 Piece.
 Edna May in "The Catch of the Sea- son. gave a large audience an even- ing of unmixed pleasure at the Hype- rion last night. The play, one of Eng fish make and a singular combination of pure comedy and music, is generally good. It is a kind of adaptation of the Cinderella fairy tale to modern life, the younger sister-a step-sister in this case-who is denied the privilege of go- ing to the dukes ball, but who, through the help of a very up-to-date fairy god mother, who arrives with a load of Paris creations, finally reaches the great dance and wins the love of the duke, and in the last scene becomes the duchess, much to the chagrin of the other female members of the family. This last scene, by the way, where the bride walks out of the church un- der the crossed swords of the guard, leaning on the arm of her noble hus- band in the full Scotch grenadier uni- form, to the much mangled measures of the orchestra's Mendelssohn we'd ding music, while very pretty, per- haps, was a distinct anti-climax to the piece. The play, for it's best effect, should end at the end of the second act proper.
 It was an altogether good company. Miss May, as it's leader, had several good songs, quite unpretentious and pretty. Among the best were But tercup" Raining" and Molly" Her duet in the second act with the duke was particularly well done, and her acting was fresh and natural through the whole play. Farren Soutar as the Duke of St. Jermyn's, was capital in his scenes with Miss May and showed himself an actor of real ability. George Buckingham and Fred Wright as Lord Bagdad and William Gibson, respect lively, werethe comedians, and were fre- quently very funny. Wright's light ming change song of the different na- tions was distinctly good. All through the play the orchestral music was quite exceptional in character, if not in or- iginality.
 Evidently no money was spared on the costumes, and there were very very shapely girls to wear them. The battalion of Gibson girls was very striking in appearance, and sang well, rather rare virtue in ordinary chor- uses.
