GIVEN NO SUPPORT
Efforts to Introduce New Regime
Without Aid of Assistance From
Moderates of Constitutionalists-
max Reached in Attempt to Impair
Nations Credit.
by Associated Pressl

st. Petersburg, Midnight-The fol-
lowing statement of the governments
position was made to the Associated
Press tonight and may be accepted as
authoritative.
'The government sincerely desired
to Introduce the new regime without
having recourse to harsh measures,
but it received no support from the
constitutionalists or other moderates.
while the proletariat organizations
under the leadership of the socialists
continued their mad campaign in
favor of armed rebellion and openly
melted the army and the navy to
mutiny. The climax of this campaign
was reached when efforts were made
to attack the credit of the country in
the midst of considerable panic. Had
the government allowed such efforts
to go unchallenged it would have pre-
cipitated complete financial and in
dustrial ruin.
After all, self-preservation is the
first law Of nature and, besides, with
out the restoration of semblance Of
order, it would be impossible to hold
the elections for the douma. The
case was desperate one and it de-
manded desperate remedy.
THE government believes that the
radical aims of the socialists have
the sympathy of only fraction of the
population and that if their doc
should succeed in overthrowing the
monarchy and in placing their doc
trines in place they would be swept
out OF existence by counter revolu-
tion. Nevertheless, the government
is on the horns of dilemma, as no
matter how honest it's motives in the
present state of excitement they are
bound to be misinterpreted, while on
the other hand if enough order can
be restored to hold the elections the
cry will be set up that the government
has adopted this expedient to control
the elections and to capture the
douma.
I'VE have taken the only course
open to u.s.

New York, Dec. 18-The news from
Chicago this morning practically
wiped the stock market slate clean
and gave new basis to start from.
The failure of three important bank
ing institutions in Chicago came as a
total surprise to Wall street, so far
as any previous development had in.
dicated. The stock market was
thrown into spasm of fright and the
appearance of the market at the open.
ing sufficiently indicated the inclina-
tion of the alarmed holders to get rid
OF their stocks at any price. Various
orders to sell 1000 share blocks of
Amalgamated copper came all togeth-
er to an aggregate of over 10000
shares, part of them being sold at 100
and others simultaneously all the way
down to 937s. Prompt measures were
required to avert a panic. Numerous
orders to support were accorded to the
market and the demoralized sentiment
thus alleviated. There was second
ary wave of liquidation, made up in
part of belated orders in the market
by outsiders and in part by those who
were able to with hold their selling
during the opening period, when there
was practically no demand.
The market ebbed and flowed over
a lesser range during the latter part
of the day, but the principal liquida-
ton seemed to have spent it's force
and the most damaging part of the
losses was recovered. It was evident
that the aggregate effect produced by
the incident was largely due to an
over extended condition of specula-
ton.

DARING COUNCIL.
Under Very Noses of Police Prints
Immense Number of Its Paper Call
ing on Followers to Accept chal-
lense of Throne for Civil War
General Strike May Be Ordered.
[By Associated Press1

st. Petersburg, Dec. 18.-The revo-
lutionary organizations are making
feverish preparations to fight the gov
ernment's policy of repression.
The new workmen's council, repre-
sentatives of other proletariat organi-
cations and also the League of
Leagues met secretly in the outskirts
OF st. Petersburg today and discussed
ways and means until almost morning.
The great majority of the members
favored the immediate proclamation of
the general strike which had been
planned for January, but it was agreed
that success depended on whether the
railroad men would participate. 1t is
understood that tentative decision
was arrived at to strike next Wednes-
day, provided the central committee
at Moscow consents.
There is division of sentiment in
the ranks of the railroad men and the
government has made desperate eff
fort to redress some of their griev-
ances, dreading above all things sus-
pension of traffic on the railroads,
which would make it impossible to
transport troops
Inciting to Revolution.
The workmen's council, under the
very noses of the police, has succeed
ed in printing a hundred thousand
copies of it's paper announcing that
the government has declared a civil
war on the proletariat and saying
that the challenge must be accepted.
In its appeal to the people the coun-
Gil declares this is the governments
last fight and that the throne of the
Romanoffs is totteTing and another
blow will cause it to fall. The coun-
Gil adds:
While the government at st. Pet
ersburg is falling, it's own regiments
are rising against it and at Riga
republic has already been proclaimed.
A few regiments may be faithful, but
the army as whole is on our side.
The government wants a fight. 1t
shall have it."
The paper also contains a direct
appeal to the army and adjures the
troops to remember that they come
from the people and must not fire ON
their kith and kin.
In spite of the fury of the revolu-
tionists, however, considerable conf
dence is expressed in government cir
cles that the extreme elements in the
persent temper of the workmeD will
not dare to call a general strike and
that If they do the chances are that |
it will be a failure.

FORCED TO SURRENDER
With Ammunition Exhausted Troops
Yield After Unsuccessful Charge on
Revolutionists-Take Prisoners by
Second Band and Carried OFF.
[By Associated Press]

Walck, Province OF Livon1a, Dec. 18.
"Details have been received here of
a regular battle between the members
of company of dragons, who were
escorting wagon train containing 20
German families, and an armed band
of 1000 Let's near Roemershof. The
expedition was trying to escape to the
southwark, but the ammunition of the
dragons, as the result of constant
skirmishes, was running low and it
was decided to reach Riga At point
where the roads crossed the expedi-
tion ran into Lett camp which was
strongly barricaded.
The Let's opened fire whereupon
the dragons charged, but were re-
pulsed. The Let's then took the Of
fensive, pressing on the retiring cara
van. The ammunition of the dragons
becoming exhausted, they surrender
ed with their charges on the under
standing that they would give up their
guns, but would be allowed to retain
their reyolvers. Another band, how
ever, made its appearance and insist
ed that the capture was effected in
it's territory. The members of this
band then carried off the captives to
Lennawarden castle, where they held
a regular orgie over their victims.

Cu1caSO, Lee. 16 -Inre0 OF the
largest financial institutions in the
west, the Chicago National bank, the
Home Savings bank and the Equitable
Trust company, all of them controlled
by John R. Walsh of this city, and
in great measure owned by him, sus-
pended operation today. Their affairs
will be liquidated as rapidly as posi-
BILE and they will go out of business.
Mr.. Walsh, who was the president
of the Chicago National bank and of
the Equitable Trust company, and all
the other officers Of the Chicago Ma
tional bank have resigned. National
Bank Examiner G. H. Bosworth, has
succeeded Walsh at the head of the
Chicago National bank and the places
of the directors have been filled by
men appointed by the Chicago clear
ing house.
Back of the new management stand
the allied banks of Chicago, who have
pledged their resources that every
depositor shall be paid to the last cent
and that not any customer of the three
institutions shall lose anything by
the suspension. Had not this action
been taken by the banks disastrous
panic might have followed in this city
and throughout the country. AS it
was, the only effect upon the financial
world in this city was the decline on
the local stock exchange of 21b
in the price of National Biscuit CON-
mon stock, which has employed the
Equitable Trust as transfer agent and
had, besides, dealings with the Chica-
go National bank, but it is not affected
by the failure in the slightest degree.
The closing of the two banks had the
effect also of shutting off all demand
on the local exchange for bank stocks,
none of them being purchased.
So0SS St 00SpS1SIOHs
The immediate cause of the collapse
of the institutions controlled by Walsh
is said to be the large amount of
money which they have loaned to
various private enterprises of his,
notably the Southern Indiana railway
and the Bedford Quarries companies
of Indiana. Walsh claims that if he
could have had little more time and |
been left untrammeled in his opera
tions he could have saved his banks |
and made enormous prifits for him. |
self and his associates. He bases this
statement on his own estimate of the
value of the bonds of the Southern
Indiana Railway company.
The comptroller, the state auditor
and the members of the Chicago
clearing house committee place the
value of the bonds at one-half of the
valuation put on them by Walsh and
1t was their refusal to accept his valu-
alton that caused the suspension of
the banks.
Liabilities and Assets.
The liabilities of the three institu-
tions are estimated in the aggregate
at $26,0OO,Q00. Against this amount
the banks and the trust company have
resources that are at a conservative
estimate worth $16,0OOO 900. The bonds
Of the Southern Indiana Railway CON-
pany are estimated by Walsh as being
worth $16,OOO.OOO. They are consider.
