lrTAuAN1A IN REVOLT.
Province Declared Separate From Rus
sian Empire

s.. Petersburg.-Via Helsingfors,
Finland, and Berlin.-Two passengers
who arrived here from Riga Tuesday,
having walked about 100 miles to catch
a train at Plocll, not only confirm the
report that a provisional government
has been set up in LivOnia, capital of
Lithuania, but they say that many of
the troops have gone over to the insur
rectionists.
Dvina fort, commanding Riga har-
Dor, is in their possession, and the
governor and other Russian officials
are prisoners. f
The messengers add that the provis-
ional government exercises authority
throughout Livonia and part of Cour-
land. The new government has de-
clared the separation of the Lithuanian
people from the Russian empire. They
have chosen new local officials and
have decreed the closing of the spirit
shops and breweries and the annull-
ment of contracts between the peas
general uprising of the native peasants,
who are travelling in armed bands, at
tacking the estates and driving off or
killing their owners.
Some OF the land owners have organ
ized volunteer battalions to protect
their property, as the authorities are
powerless to afford aid, but the major
ity are fleeing in terror. The peasants
forbid the owners to sell grain or lum-
Der and formally declare that the for
ests and estates of those who have de-
parted will be confiscated.

House Bills Introduced.

Representative Bonynge has intro
duced two immigration bills. One au-
thorizing the President to call an inter
national conference for the purpose of
regulation by international agreement
of emigration to the United States The
United States has no jurisdiction to
make an examination of aliens at ports
of embarkation and it is only by inter
national agreement that such eXamina
tion can be effectively made. 1t is also
necessary to have some international
agreement in order to prevent aliens
who under our laws are prohibited
from landing in the United States.
from embarking for this country The
second is a bill to amend the present
immigration laws. 1t provides for Il
head tax of SO instead of 81, which is
charged under the existing law, the
money thus collected to be used for
creating an immigrant fund to defray
the expenses of regulating immigra
ton, and for the further purpose OF
maintaining a bureau for furnishing
aliens ut ports of embarkation and at
domestic ports with information re-
garding different parts of the country
needs and demands for labor therein,
and the resources and climate of diff
ferent sections of the country.
Representative Lacey of Iowa. chair
man of the public lands committee,
has introduced bill providing that
after the present fiscal year the Office
of receiver of land office shall be abol-
ished and its duties and obligations de-
volve on the register of the land office.
1t also provides that the secretary of
the interior shall appoint chief clerk
for such land offices as the commits
sioner of the General Land Office may
designate, with authority to perform
the duties of register during his alb
sence, and that he shall give bond for
the faithful performance of his duties
in such sum as the secretary of the i'll
terror may designate. The bill also pre-
scribes that the salary of the register
shall not exceed $4,000 per annum.
Representative Lacey also introduced
bill providing that persons desiring
to take advantage of the communication
provision of the homestead act shall
first reside for the full period of two
years on the land for which they seek
to obtain title. Both of these bills
have the approval of the Interior De
partment and are in line with the rec
concentrations of the secretary of the
interior.
Representative Sulzer of New York
introduced a resolution of sympathy
for Russian Jews.
A novel method of seeking federal
control over insurance rs proposed in
a bill introduced by Representative
lands of Indiana. The bill cites that
inasmuch as Congress has exclusive
jurisdiction over the District of Colum-
bia, the territories and insular posses
sions of the United States, authority is
given the Department of Commerce
and Labor to require full statements
from all insurance companies doing
business within such jurisdiction. He
states that publicity is the one thing
required, and that no insurance COM
pany can afford to quit business in any
OF the territories named to avoid gov
ernment supervision. Therefore all
companies will be included.

RYAN 1ESTIFIES
OWNER OF EQUITABLE STOCK BE.
FORE THE COMMITTEE.
HARTMAN MADE THREATS
Senator Dryden Tells Of Contributions
to Republican Campaign Fund
Five Thousand Dollars Paid to Leg
isiative Agent.

New York.-Thomas F. Ryan ap-
peared before the insurance investigat-
ing committee Monday and told what
E. II. Hartman did and threatened to
do when he demanded that Mr.. Ryan
concede him a share in the control of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
last June. Mr. Ryan assured the COM
mittee that he had meant no disrespect
by his former refusal to disclose their
conversations, and said that he had
determined to answer the questions to
which he had refused replies Friday
last because District Attorney Jerome
said he ought TO do so.
Mr.. Ryan's version of what Mr.. Har-
riman demanded and what he threat
ened to do upon the refusal of his de-
mands was in substance as follows
That Hartman demanded one-half of
the hO2 shares of the stock of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society
which Mr.. Ryan had purchased from
James II. Hyde and which gave Mr..
Ryan control of the property. That
| Hartman threatened, unless he was
conceded this share in the control of
the society, 10 exert his political and
all other influences against Mr.. Ryan
and his project. That Hartman de-
clared there probably would be legis-
lative action and that in that event his
influence would be important. That
Hartman demanded the right to name
two of five trustees TO vote the con
trolling stock in the election of direc.
tors of the society.
United States Senator John f. Dry
den of New Jersey, president of the
Prudential Life Insurance Company OF
America, was on the witness stand all
the remainder of the day. He testified
that his company paid $4,000 to the
Republican national campaign fund in
1896. 1900 and 1904. 1t also paid $4,000
to Andrew Hamilton, formerly the
New York Life's agent at Albany

RUSSIA'S CRISIS
REACTION MAY BE CONFRONTED
BY REVOLUTION.
DYNASTY IN DEADLY PERIL
Four Hundred Thousand cossacks to
Crush Out Freedom-Absolute An
archy PrevaiIs-Streets of Riga
Flow With Blood.

St Petersburg.-The situation is eX-
ceedingly ominous. Public opinion is
practically unanimous that the gov
ernment has entered upon the fatal
path Of reaction and that Whites min
istry must fall. Reaction and revolu-
tion confront each other in a death
struggle. Both General Trepoff and
General Count Ignatieff, according to
the popular impression, are being held
in reserve to execute the program of
repression. 1t is again said that the
entire Cossack strength of 100000 will
be mobilized in a supreme effort to
crush the revolutionary force.
Absolute anarchy prevails. A mes
senger who arrived here this morning
declared that the streets of Riga were
flowing with blood. After a meeting
the railroad men were moved down by
the fire of machine guns and artillery.
The railroad men of st. Petersburg,
at meeting yesterday evening, re-
solved that inasmuch ''aS the reaction
is gaining force, the government is
seeking to retract what was won by
, the frs. Pan-Russian strike" The
railroad men stand ready to obey the
signal for general strike, but advise
their fellow-workers to await the word
from the central committee at Moscow
as failure must not be risked.
Simultaneously with the arrests
here, NJ Dronsnilny and all the mem
bers of the union Of the employees OF
the posts and telegraph operators OF
Moscow, with M. Kokhanowski at theiI
head, were arrested at Moscow.
Certainly the appearance Of st
Petersburg and the events to-day seen,
to paint black picture of the future
The capital resembles great military
camp. The patrols everywhere were
doubled. Grim looking cannon rum
bled through the streets. What hap
pened smacked strangely of the ole
regime. 80
A large workmen's meeting was dis
persed by Cossacks. The building in
which the executive committee of the
League OF Leagues meets was sur
rounded by troops, and no one was
permitted to enter it. At the same time
vast meeting of 'Loyalists" was
freely permitted, at which speeches
were made extolling the Emperor and
the government. To cap the climax
the funeral of Lieutenant General SAX
haroff, former minister of war, who
> was assassinated at Saratoff December
9th, with an imposing array of mill
tary, representing all arms of the ser
vice-artillery, horse guard and foot
soldiers-passed up the Nevsky pros
pect between sullen crowds.

Killed by Electric Shock.

Denver.-An Ouray dispatch Tues
day says: Death came with the quick
ness of lightning to Harry Hammar.
assistant electrician of the Camp Bird
mine, about O'Clock this afternoon. An
electric current of 10000 volts passed
through his body. The Animas Power
Company is constructing line from
the Camp Bird mine to the mill two
and one-half mile distant On two
other occasions trees have been felled
across the electric lines now in use
between mine and mill, and this, the
third time, proved fatal. The line was
short-circuited and Hammar was sent
to find out the cause of the trouble
and to make repairs If necessary. The
current of 10000 voltage was not cut
out

Only the fact that it was known that

had been thawing out dynamite, which

New York.-Two incidents affecting
the life insurance situation in New York
Wednesday overshadowed the leGisa-
tive committee investigation. While the

duct of the Prudential and the Metro
politan companies, George w. Perkins

Railroad Bills POSTPONED,

Washington.-Railr rate legisa-
tion will be allowed to rest until after
the holidays. Members of the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce have agreed to take up and
dispose of less important measures
than those affecting rates before the
recess. In the Senate also there is a
disposition to let rate legislation slum-
Der for the time being. The members
of the interstate commerce committee
in that body have decided to hold but
one meeting week before Christmas,
and there is a general understanding
that legislation affecting the Interstate
Commerce Commission will not be
pushed.

London.-The Telegraph prints the
concluding part of the dispatch from
Moji, Japan. begun Monday, giving de.
tailed accounts of ofrefugeeso of the alleged
sacking and burning of Harbin. Man
churia, by mutinous Russians. 1t says
the mutineers set fire to and pillaged
houses in every direction and seized all
the weapons and ammunition they
were able to lay their hands on.
When dawn came, according to these
accounts. all the mutineers crept to
hiding places. Daylight revealed the
Chinese quarter in ruins and 400 Rus
clan citizens lying dead or wounded in
the streets of Harbin.
