REBELS ABANDON PRINCIPAL STREET

St. Petersburg, Dec. 27.-The days
fighting at Moscow occurred mostly at
some distance from the center of the
city. The revolutionists abandoned
the Tverskaia thoroughfare, as it is
too easily swept by artillery, and con-
cenrrated their forces in the narrow
winding streets of the commercial
quarter, where the shops were closed
and occupied by the military.
The mortuaries at Moscow are filled
with the dead, the hospitals are un-
able to find room for the wounded and
many private houses are filled w1tA
wounded persons.
The militia organized by Governor
General DOubassoff has commencea
its duties under the direction OF the
police May houses and other build
ings from which the revo:ulioni.;ts
threw bombs were demolished Dy the
artillery.
The numerous fires which occurred
1T different points throughout MOSCOW
lit up the W.Iole sky at night.
The governor general has ordered
that all doors be kept closed. Any in
fraction of this order will be followed
by a fine OF 81 800 Or three months
imprisonment in the fortress. The

Troops Rout insurgents After Two
Hours Fighting.
Moscow, Dec. 27.-The Insurgents
attacked both the Kazan and Nichoiai
railroad stations during the day and a
lively fusiIIade engued between the
mob and the troops occupying the de-
pots.
Some 300 revolutionary miliuamen
arrived here by special train from
Peroyo, on the MoscOW.KaZan Line,
and crowd OF 1000 strikers, includ,

whence they opened fire on the troops

exchange OF shots the building held by
the mob was set on fire and burned
down.

MARCHING OVERLAND.
Reinforcements on Way to Moscow
N- From All Directions.

.Reinforcements on Way to Moscow
From All Directions.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 27.-The Slovoe
says that the leaders OF the revolu-
tionary army at Moscow are mostly
students of Kieff, Kharkof and Odes-
sa, among whom are many Jews. The
military hold the center of Moscow
and apparently are awaiting reinforce
ments which are reported to be on the
way to Moscow from all directions,
some of the troops marching overland.
-Four regiments OF dragons from War
saw have started by rail for Moscow,
but have not yet arrived there. The
government is finding great difficulty
in dispatching a sufficient force to the
disturbed city, it being dangerous to
withdraw the troops from other places,
most OF the available men having al
ready been sent to cope with the revolt
in the Baltic provinces.
The revolutionists hold the outskirts
of Moscow. A thousand men are work
ing night and day at the barricades,
some OF which are described as mar
vels of strength. Trenches have been
dug and wire entanglements have been
erected in front of the defenses, which
extend for blocks and are impene-
trable even against artillery
A terrible holocaust occurred at the
Sytin works, where 5000 sWorkmen
were suddenly surrounded by cavalry
and artillery. The latter fired at the
building, which was soon in flames.
Hundreds perished in the confagra-
ton.
It is definitely established that the
reyOIutiOnists have six automatic guns.

CRACKS PLAY IN MAY
English Billiard Experts Viii
Settle Championship
Special Cable to The Globe

Special Cable to The Globe
LONDON, April S.-The Robert-Ste-
venson billiard match is scheduled for
May, but the exact date has not been
announced. w. d. Courtney has been ap-
pointed manager of the event.
Courtney Is thorough and businesslike,
and as manager of the Roberts-Dawson
match at the Argyle and Egyptian halls
in March of 1899 contrived to hand over,
after deducting all expenses, SIS, 900. On
that occasion the whole OF the profits
went to the winner Of the match-a sum
OF money that at present easily holds the
record for fortnight'S billiards. BY the
way, at the present time. when people
are beginning to realize that Roberts
age Is likely to prove great handicap.
a little story that was current prior to
his match with Dawson, which appears
in the latter's papers, may be worth re-
peating. All the billiard world was talk
ing about the match and when Dawson
went in front even some OF the veterans
ardent partisanS began to fear. One aft
ernoon j. p. Mannock was i'm his saloon
in the Hoted Victory when one OF Rob-
erts' supporters approached him and said:
We'll, Mr.. Mannock. and who do you
think will win the match-Roberts or
Dawson?''
Dawson said Mannock
well, he cannot Nobody will ever
beat Roberts," said the enthusiast.
All" said Mannock, "but you must not
forget that Roberts is not so young as he
was. Ammo Domini will beat him.
Bah" said the other. Il don't know
anything about your foreign players: ]
mean Engiishmen."

BLOW AT BUTLER
Jockey Club Prepares to Block
Empire Track Races
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, April SIT is said that
the movement on foot to give a race
meeting at Narragansett park, Provi-
dence, Is scheme on the part of the
jockey club to hurt any meeting that may
take place this summer at the Empire
City track. Fearful that the demands OF
James Butler for a license and dates for
his track would be forced upon them
through the aid of the law, the Jockey
club. in order to hamper any meeting
that might be forced from them, would
hold races in Providence at the same
time In order to draw the horses and
Jockeys away from the Empire City
course.
The latest that can be learned about
the scheme IS that. twenty days racing
will be sanctioned by the jockey club
j. E Steward OF Boston, one OF the men
behind the new racing venture, stated this
week that he was confident that meet
Ing at the old Providence track would be
successful one. He intimated strongly
that dates had been applied for, and that
twenty days would be allotted by the
jockey club.
The men with Steward are capitalists.
some of whom, 1t is said, are members OF
the jockey club. A number OF horsemen
here stated this week that II the meeting
received the support and sanction of the
jockey club that they would ship a num-
Der OF their horses to Providence and
take part in the meeting. At least 200
horses will race there If the meeting is
held.

WILL 0BLIGE HART
Jeffries Says He Is Willing to
Fight kentuckian
Special to The Globe

special TO Tne Gl0De
NEW YORK. April 8.-When Champion
James J. Jeffries heard the result of the
Johnson-Hart bout in San Francisco he
said:
'T promised Hart that / would meet
he won, and am ready to sign articles
for a bout. My engagements, however.
viii prevent me from entering the ring
before next fan. II Hart wants to fight
then, and the public desires the meeting,
/ viii defend my title
According to Trainer Delaney. Jeftries
viii soon step into the niche In the pugilis-
tic hall OF fame and leave the title for les
ser lights to scromble for In an open letter
10 the public the man who has handled
the big fellow in all his matches declared
that unless an opponent can be found
for the champion before June-and a
white one at that-Jeffries will retire, and
his retirement will be a permanent af-
fair. Delaney's warning of the blow TO
come is as follows:
Since James ]. Jeffries met and de-
feated Robert EitZSimmOns for the cham
pionship of the world he has defended the
title against all comerS without insisting
on side bet or telling~anyone to go and
get reputation Jeffries may fight Hart
but I doubt il. Hart may consider him
self on If he really wants to fight JEFF
fries.
In June. 1905. Jeffries will arrive in
California. and If by that time there is
no fight on Jeffries will forever retire from
the ring l understand Jeff thoroughly
and know that in order to tight well he
must fight often. / do not propose to
have him make the mistake that all for
mer champions have made-that is, OF
fighting once too often"
