The Russian Revolt.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 28.-The most
savage passions have been experienced
both by the reyolntionists and people
aud by the women who are fighting in
the ranks of the insurrectionists, who
have shown the greatest courage. The
number of casualties among the rebels
at Moscow has been decreased owing to
the change 10 their tactics in fighting
from houses instead of behind barri-
cades. The casualties now number about
200 day, while q houses destroyed by
artillery is the record of one day Two
of the chief leaders of the Moscow revolt
have been arrested. The police discov-
cred evidence showing that general up
rising and armed revolt had been
planned to take place in st.
Petersburg in support of the Mos
COW insurgents. Many of the 81.
Petersburg revolutionaries we're accord
ingly arrested and the movement in st.
Petersburg has been checked temporarily
by this action.
Advices from Moscow say that the
situation there is graver than ever Hos.
tilities have spread to the neighboring
districts and the peasants are responding
to the appeals to arm themselves.
Brussels, Dec. 2S.--Advices received
here from st. Petersburg say that the
Zemenowsky Guards regiment, supported
by artillery, has been sent from there to
Moscow. Reinforcements are also being
sent from neighboring military posts to
Moscow. The police at Kieff have dis
covered bomb factory in the cellar of a
crowded tenement building in that city.
Fifteen internal machines were seized.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 2S.-The general
situation throughout Russia remains
practically unchanged. What little
change there has been is for the worse,
showing, as it does, that the scope of the
revolution is growing broader.
At Wysokie Mszowiickie, small
town in the government OF Lomza, a
band of revolutionists robbed the dis
trict treasury Of 400, 900 roubles.
Edyices from Saratof tell of one in.
stance of brutality on the part of Cos
sacks in the village of Uhorno. An Off
Ger demanded that the peasants should
pay $50 roubles for horse which had
been killed accidentally. The peasants
replied that they we're too poor and
could not pay. The officer then ordered
the Cossacks to fire, despite the appeals
of the victims on their knees, that they
be spared. The Cossscks mutilated the
men. outraged the women, and practi-
cally destroyed the entire village. Many
children were thrown into wells. The
total casualties numbered % killed and
over 100 wounded.
Railway traffic with Black Sea ports
has been entirely stopped by the strike
on the southwestern railways.
Odessa, Russia. Dec. 28.-Martial law
was proclaimed here this afternoon be-
cause of the troubles which have occur
red here in connection with the general
strike. The situation is threatening.

New York Stock Market.

New York, Dec. 2S.-The only influence
affecting trade was the money market. Loans
had been made at 80 per cent. and money
was quoted at IS bid and number Of traders
at once turned sellers. Pool manipuators
and operators long Of large lines Of stocks
simply ceased aggressive buying. but there
was no disturbance Of important holdings.
There was buying by interests that have
awaited for what they consider good oppor-
tunity TO get cheap stocks This buying was
large enough 10 cause recovery of nearly all
the early losses before the end of the first
hour An impression prevails that the mar.
kei will follow the lines of yesterday closely,
which was aeutely unsettled at the opening,
quiet during the greater part Of the day and
unsettled at the close.
Call money broke all records since Deem
Der 1899 this morning when it jumped TO
1875. A loan Of $4,000 on this basis was
made at ll.30 O'clock. In December 1899,
money on call reach 1856 per cent. Stocks a |
morning were weak because Of the high price
of money. The demand for money started
within 10 minutes after the opening Of the
exchange. Before II o'clock the demand for
money from Brokers, as result OF heavy
calling Of loans, by the banks in order TO
make arrangements for the January dis
bursements became urgent, and most Of them
we're apprehensiye as TO whether they could
renew their loans at all. The l25 per cent.
at ll.3O was the extreme rise, after that there
was a little more money on offer and the rate
dropped back 10 90.

not be saved. The employees Ofthe Hotel
Imperial were sleeping in the Hotel
Porter, and they managed to make a
hurried escape in their night clothes, be-
ing unable to save any of their property.
There were but few guests in the Hotel
Imperial, and they managed to get out

The flames communicated to the Hotel

tons, no one being injured, however

For THE privilege of owning its own
fairy between New York and Staten
Island the city is paying more than
$500 day, that being the daily excess
of expenses over receipts in the seven
weeks since the city took control. AL
lowing the usual increase in the number
of passengers during the summer
months, it seems probable that the ferry
under municipal control will show a
less for the year of about 5000, 600.
Municipal ownership is an exotic in this
country. Il may work satisfactorily in
certain places in methodical Scotland,
but that it can be operated for the pub
lie good in the United States remains to
be demonstrated. There are but few
places in the United States which have
anything to boast of in the line OF such
enterprises. Politics invariably mingle,
and it is difficult to yoke business prin-
ciples and politics
