New York, December 23.--While former Assemblyman James w.

MORGAN AND STANDARD
 OIL IN RECEN I DEAL
Are Associated With August Belmont In the Consolidation of New
 York's Traction Lines.

New York, December 23.-The Times to- morrow will say:
 J. P. Morgan & Co. and representatives of the Standard oil company and several other financial interests, it was learned yesterday, have become associated with August Belmont & Co.,, and the capitalists interested in the Interborough Rapid Transit company in the merger of all the citys traction lines, elevated, surface and underground Edward H. Hartman has been concerned fin the negotiations at least as a friendly adviser to MT. Bel mont. Whether he is to acquire an inter est in the new combine could not be as- certained yesterday.
 The conclusion of the traction company, 1t was further learned, has been brought about by merger of the Ryan interests with the Interborough Rapid Transit conl- pany. rather than by the buying out of tue former of the Morgan Rogers Belmont group. Payment to Ryan for his interests in the Metropolitan Securities company and its control in the lines will probably be made in the stock of a new holding company that is to be organized rather than in cash.
 Walter G. Oakman, president or the Hudson companies and a director of the Itnerborough, will be a prominent factor in the consolidated companies. Through the Hudson companies the Pennsylvania railroasS becomes directly interested in the traction merger,

 Foul Play Are Approved.

Philadelphia, Pa. December 23.-The circular sent out recently through the oomnattne on athletics with the view of systematizing athletic rules has brought a large number of replies, some of them from representatives and still a greater number from colleges and schools.

MOSCOW NEWS CAUSES
 SENSATION AT CAPITAL.

St. Petersburg, December 23, 2:20 a. m.- The news of the terrible bloodshed at Moscow has created a great sensat ation here and renders the situation much graver. It furnishes the necessary stim- ulus to fire the waning passions of the proletariat and their leaders can be re- lied upon to use 1t to the full. They claim that their own representatives show conolusively that troops were deliber- ately ordered to fire on peaceful demon- strations in order to provoke general conflict and that the only recourse left was to fight back in self-defense. They also claim to have confirmation of the report that the gendarmere and some troops, including artillery and Cossacks, have refused to obey the commands of their officers.
 The Walters union of St. Petersburg struck yesterday and practically closed all the restaurants and hotels by forcing the walters by threats of violence to join the strike. As the hotels are crowded with landowners and refugees in the provinces many of them last night had actual difficulty in finding place to procure food.

 A telephone message just received by the Associated Press says that the drum ming of the machine guns volleys by in fantry and the booming of cannon can be heard at intervals. The military seems to have the upper hand. although there are rumors that the gendarmerie and the Cossacks have revolted and have refused to fire on the people.
 According to this telephonic message, which was very confused owing to the ex- citement under which the sender was la- boring, the revolutionary leaders had given the signal for an armed rising of the proletariat at o'clock this evening, but Governor General Doubassoff discov- cred their plans and acted quickly. He massed 25,OOO troops of all arms in Red place under the walls of the Kremlin. mounted machine guns in the towers of the old Chinese wall. posted artillery at intervals encircling the Tverskaiai Boule- yard and placed heavy attachments of horse and light artillery at strategic points
