Special Cable Despatch ~ to TUE SUN.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. l5.--The news
papers say that peasants In Livonia have
raided many estates and killed three land.
owners. In Courland the peasants sacked
twenty-five municipal buildings and de.
stroyed the CONSUMPTION lists and other
documents They looted the State money.
but did not meddle with the charity funds.
LONDON, Aug. I8.-1he correspondent OF
The Standard at Moscow who attended the
congress OF peasants describes the extra.
ordinary preca utons taken to prevent dis
oovery. The peasants met In country
HOUSE near Moscow Much business was
transacted at night In an unlighted room,
lest light attract the military patrols.
1t was curious experience listening TO tho
peeches In the darkness.
Delegates were present from all parts OF
Russia. Many Of them we're illiterate.
Several came afoot long distances. Many
who started were intercepted by the police
and asked to explain their business. They
could not give satisfactory answers and
we're arrested and placed In jail.
The first day Of the Congress was mostly
occupied In listening TO verbal accounts
by the representatives OF tho proceed
ings Of the authorities. 1t was a piteous
tale and II only quarter were true would
almost justify the excuses OF another
French Revolution.
Hour after hour the recital proceeded.
Everywhere injustice and oppression pre-
vailed without a possibility OF redress.
The Judges and priests Of rural districts
form an impossible barrier against the
complaints Of the downtrodden peasants
upon whom all prey with impunity.
Great indignation was expressed at the
suppression by loca officials OF the Cars
ukase The rescript in some cases WAS not
read to them until months after 1t had
been issued. In s).ne cases 1t was COM
pletely withheld.
The correspondent noted that many
declared Indignantly against the methods
OF revolutionary agitators in attacking
the Csar. They said: We are quite will
ing to limit his power, but we must have
our Car. We want laws Of our own making
but with the Gar to watch the execution
OF them"
One speaker said: .The priests are our
worst enemies. The Holy Synod Is moth
ing more than branch Of the police, to
whom the priests are compelled to de-
nounce their parishloners whenever they
suspect them Of being interested In politi-
cal questions"
On the second day the congress met In
a house within the city boundaries. The
discussion principally turned to land. The
general view was that God made the land
for all and 1t ought to be as free a. air or
sunlight.
Only one speaker pointed out that Land
was worthless without capital, and few II
any believed in the theory that nobody
ia entitled to land unless he works for 1t.
They declared that the State and Church
lands ought to be handed over to the
peasants without redemption and that
private owners should retain only as much
land as they could themselves work.

DELLA LYTTEL CONFESSES.
Owns Up to Kid Mccoy That sho 9hst
Herself.

Della W. Lyttel. the girl who was found
shot last Friday and who insisted that her
wound was not self inflicted, admitted In
Bellevue Hospital yesterday that she had
attempted suicide. The admission was
extracted by Kid Mccoy, the pugilist, to
whom the woman had written letters.
The Kid went to the hospital by prear.
rangement with Detective James Wren
Of the West 125th street station. The
woman refused to talk in the presence Of
the detective, but he heard most OF the
conversation without her knowledge.
y want you to tell me the facts said
the Kid
She refused at first, but after repeated
questions said:
Il shot myself, but no one will ever know
why did it. The reason that wouldn't
admit 1t before Is that didn't want you to
think me damned fool and other people
TO think me crazy
Mccoy told the police that he first saw
the woman about ten days ago, and never
met her outside his place.
Its simply a case OF a woman's becom-
ing infatuated with me-" he said, and
hurting herself 80 as to get my sympathy
or to touch me for loan.'

lied the market Many Chinese merchants
have lost heavily owing to the financial
strin gency. Native newspapers now dis
courage the movement and 1t Is believed
that II will soon collapse.
WARRINGTON, Aug. 15.-What are believed
to be important advices concerning the
Chinese boycott arrived at the State De-
partment to-day. Acting Secretary Ades
said the dispatches were Of such nature
that he did not feel at liberty to make them
public, but that they might be given to the
press at Oyster Bay. whittier they had been
sent to President Roosevelt.
1t is understood that the despotcnes are
quite encouraging. indicating that the
boycott movement is confined to great
extent to Shanghai, where It originated,
and It is not meeting with the success In
other parts OF the empire that has attended
It there. Tho promoters OF the boycott
are known to be actively at work through
out China.
The dispatches received to-day are be-
lieyed to say that the efforts Of the agitators
are not as successful in exciting an anti
American movement as has been thought.
1t is understood also that report coming
through the consular service on the boy
colt situation in Canton says that the move
ment has not gained much Roadway there.
