cares of the razor. formed before the Bowery
Mission. where dinners were served in boxes.
Some of the men wore sweaters. others had the
collars Of their thin coats turned up to protect
their bare chests and neckS from the cold. while
q few. perhaps for the first time, were COM
PEELED to accept Christmas dinner in the form
of charity clean shirts and collars. Some
were attired in overaIls and jumpers, stained
with the CRIME of honest toll, while others were

questions were asked. All We're equally wei

The four policemen who were assigned to tfs
mission to handle the crowd did with ur-
usual consideration. These men, some OF whom
perhaps tonight will be buffeted about by the
same policemen, treated with the utmost
courtesy.
In the basement Of the mission were 200
boxes filled with substantial dinners and huge
canisteTs contained gallons of hot coffee The
men admitted by one door and let out by
another so that there would be confusion.
They let in squads of ten. As they entered
each took a cup of coffee and received one OF thu
dinner boxes on which a labsl with thu,

Some of the men remained only long enough

them.
The line on the street seemed TO increase
rather than decrease. and eve nwhen the supply
of 200 dinners had become exhausted there
were still waiting nearly as many as those who
had been fortunate enough to come early. The
look of disappointment that came over the

BUTCHERY IN MOSCOW
REBELS NOT DEFEATED.
Both Sides Worn Out-Imsurgent
Armg Reported Near City.

St. Petersburg. Dec %. ITO p. indirect
teleersphic communication with Moscow was
severed last night, but the government succeeded
IN restoring communication by roundabout
route this morning. All reports agree that the
aph4ing yesterday, which continued until mid
night. was in the nature of butchery. Machine
guns and heldpieoes loaded with grape and
canister were employed rercilessly against the
poorly armed Insurgents
Atrocious tales are told OF the Cossacks, who,
pued with vodka until drunk. fired down the
streets. sometimes charging with lances.
IN. insurgents displayed great stubbornness in
holding their harricades. even advancing IN
rnsEssz 70 the slaughter. At the same time
bombs were thrown from the windows of houses
o.o,,nsss nv the rebels near the. harTicades.-
Heavy guns were brought up and battered the
houses TO pieces.
The plan of the insurgents. it is said' Is to
hoId thu outskirts and gradually drive the troops
into The centre of the city. Leaders say that an
amy of thirty thousand is concentrated at
oreehoffseff, northeast OF Moscow, and that 1t
x,, soon be ready to march 20 the city's assist
ance.
The latest report is that both sides were ex-
hsusted at midnight when firing practically
ceased. The streets were in darkness. save for
searchllghts in the towers. bivouac fires and
lights behind the barricades.

c. II. Grouse, a Syracusan, Gets
Black Hand LetterS-TeNs Police.

Syracuse, Dec. 25.-Charles NJ. Grouse. reputed
70 be one of the wealthiest men in this part of
the State. has received two letters from the
Black Hand threatening to blow up his house
and family with dynamite, unless he put s., 400
In cigar box in front of his house on the curb
Various threats against afr Crouse's property
and against the lives of members of his family
are said to have been made by the writer unless
hesshould comply with the request. He was
warned in each letter to keep the matter quiet
and under penalty of divers things not to report
it to the police. Both letters have been turned
over to the authorities and detectives day are
busy in an effort to find the writer
Mr.. Grouse is one of the ctty's best known
men, and comes of an old and prominent family
He has not the slightest idea as to the identity
of the writer's of the strange letters and has
told the police that he never knew he had an
enemy III the world.
The first of the letters came to him little
less than week ago. it is said. 1t came through
the mails. The handwriting was good. wholly
unlike that Of foreigner In it, 1t is said, the
writer warned Mr.. Grouse that he would be
called on soon to give up large amount Of
money, and suggested that the instructions con
tanned in letter that would follow in a few
days be carried out to the fullest extent. other
wise the writer would take it for granted that
Mr. Grouse did not intend to comply with his
demand, and for vengeance would carry out
some dire plan of action against him.
The second letter made Mr. Grouse bit afraid
He made up his mind at once that he would let
the police know about the affair, which he did
on Saturday morning. He took both letters to
headquarters with him and turned them over 10
the detectives. The latter do not think the mat
ter joke, but say it perpetrated by some
body knowing Mr.. Grouse and who perhaps
thought he could be scared into giving money.

vice. Chief Croker was loud in his denunciation
of the water supply conditions He said that
had the water supply been adequate the fire
would have been checked long before II was.
The four large engines that supply the big water
tower only could bring UP a pressure of sixty
pounds of water, where the supply should be at
least one hundred pounds. Further. the chief
said several of the engines were compelled to
double up to get a decent stream on the flames.
Complaints OF unnecessarily low water press
IRE have been made after every big fire OF the
h 1t few weeks. The present administration has
lei great stress on it's desire to furnish per-
Is s water supply. but conditions have grown
stea5iis' worse. and thousands of dollars loss
mas hesn caused by the inadequate pressure.
ktzer the West 5Sth-st fire Chief Croker said:
If the water pressure had been better be-
lieve could have lessened the damage With
a higher pressure more water could have been
thrown on the fire in quicker time, and l think
we could have prevented the flames spreading

Gen Iinevitch is drawing In the troops
on the extreme west of his line toward the
railway. Apparently the Russians are pre-
pairing to retreat. Only a few thousand
Muscovites are still south of the Tumen
river
Gen Mistchenko, who. with his Cossack
command, was recently driven out of Lioa-

having been reinforced by eighteen squad

son. The japanese vanguard, however, is
already north of Kuonsong."
News received at Petersburg from the
battlefield is exceedingly meager. A press
telegram of Tuesdays date speaks of
in the city that the Russian army Is re-
treating. but the latest dispatches received
from Lieut. Geu. Lnevitch bearing the
same date declare briefly that the Japanese
advance had paused
A cablegram from Gunshu Pass of We'd
nesday's date says that the operations of
the Japanese apparently ended after the
last fight, and they appeared to be merely
clearing their immediate front.
1t is probable that the Russian advanced
lines are crossing the railroad, and will
continue their retirement more or less hur-
riedly in order to avoid being fanked and
pocketed until the positions at Sipinghai are.

not yet in collision.
