Strike Begins in Earnest in Odessa. Trains Are Still Running Into Warsaw Under Many
 Difficulties.

Moscow. December 2l-C5 D. m.)-Ar- tiilery fire, rifle and revolver firing con tinued throughout the day but the noise of the battle has new somewhat abated. The guns have been bombardng one barricade after another, the cannonade being followed by charges by the dra- goons, who set fire to the debris.
 The area of the fighting today was more extended and included Trabnois Square, sadovia, Karetnaia and many other streets.
 The revolutionaries apparently have not in the least lost heart, notwithstanding Saturdays heavy casualties It is now known that 800 is a moderate estimate of the losses. and many more persons fell today The revolutlonaries had few sue cesses They surprised force of gend- armes in Karetnaia street today, killing or wounding twenty of them. Since then artillery has been firing uniterruptedly in that section of the city.
 Fire Into Private House.
 In many cases dragons fired into pri- vate houses where they suspected revo- lutionaries had taken refuge.
 Tn nearly every district large numbers Of innocent persons were accidently killed or wounded.
 Late this evening it was reported that fighting was proceeding in the outskirts of the city, and that there were heavy losses on both sides
 During the day bombs were thrown In the streets

Use White Flag as Ruse.S

London, December 25-The Daily Tele- graphs St. Petersburg correspondent, de- scribing the fight at Moscow. says:
 "The first shots were fired by the revo- lutionaries on the troops outside the Fid- lers school, which was surrounded. The revolutionaries were given one hour in which to surrender. F'ifty-five minutes had passed and the commander of the troops was about to give the order to fire when a volley came from the house. Sev- era soldiers were killed or wounded. The troops immediately replied.
 Soon white handkerchief was waved from a window. The troops entered but were greeted with rifle fire and they in return bombarded the house. Shortly af- rewards a white flag was again waved. and the surrender of the revolutionaries was completed"
 Defeated in Every Fight. The correspondent also describes the fighting in other sections of the city re- sulting in every case in the defeat of the revolutonaries.
 "The desperate courage of the mob" the correspondent says, was marvellous. Untes of threes. tens and hundreds would sally forth to be driven back, and rally again against the enormous odds eager to accomplish the impossible. Early in the evening the streets were filled and private dwelling houses were crowded with the wounded. The principal thor oughfare, the Tverskaia, looks like a street in a city captured by a foreign foe.
 "Bivouac fires burn in the streets and rifles are stacked on the pavement
 During all this needless effuson of blood. in old Moscow the people were shopping, visiting and otherwise carrying or the ordinary occupations as C noth- ing in particular was going on.
 Yesterdays doings marked the most important manifestation of Russian anar- chy and will prove. the anarchists as- sert, decisive. So far as one can judge, they will end in the complete defeat of the anarchists who will be slenced in Rus sia for several years.
 Wrath is Waxing Strong.
 "There is still hope that a popular re- actionary movement may be avoided. but the wrath of the peasants is waxing strong.
 Tn the station al Yelna on the Kieff and Voroneseh line. entire families of railway officers and strikers have been literally cut to pieces by infuriated peas ants. and there is other cumulative evil dence of a determination on the part of the peasants to oppose the strikers "The anarchists have not dislodged the government, imprisoned Premier Witte or deposed the Emperor but they have struck a deadly and wanton blow at the empire. Already hungry bands are pillag- ing wherever they can. At the station of Nicolaieff. the Kazan railroad. they footed fifteen cars loaded with neces- saries of life for the Christmas tide. "A ukase will be published in a day or two embodying the new electoral law and fixing date for the elections to the douma.
 "The severest criticism is directed against the government for failing to adopt promptly repressiVe measure against the revolutionists."

Prison Board is Lax.

Governor Folk replies by quoting the law which gives the board of inspectors full power to manage the penitentiary, make rules and regulations for it's gov ernment, and requires report to the governor monthly. The governor points out that since this is the first report made by the board it has been lax in its official duty.
 Governor Folk states that he has asked the board to establish civil service rules for the selection of guards, and to refuse 10 approve appointments unless they come up to the standard of efficiency but the board has not done so. The governor denies that he has paid political debts by penitentiary appointments and declares that with but two exceptions he has made no recommendations to the warden for appointments.
 Tho governor also declares that It IS the duty of the board to recommend the discharge of all incompetent persons, and states that he will see that all orders made by the board are carried out.

CALELESSNESS IN
 NAMING WARDENS Governor Folk Answers Criti- ciSm of Prison Board ARE REMISS IN THEIR DUTY Recent Attempted Escape of Four Con victs From State Prison Has
 Brought About the Pres
 ent Controversy.
ARE REMISS IN THEIR DUTY

Jefferson City Mo-, December 24.-Gov- ernor Folk tonight issued a statement in reply to the criticism contained in the report of the board of penitentary in- spectors of the methods pursued in the appointment of penitentiary officials. That section of the report was as follows:
 "On account of the recent attempted escape of the four convicts from the state penitentlary. the board of prison inspec- tors has conducted an extended and care ful investigation to the management and discipline of that institution.
 "Although you, Governor Folk, are not charged with any direct responsibility for the conduct and management of the state penitentiary. yet in view of the fact that you appoint the warden, and that the ap- pointment of the other officials in charge of the penitentary has been made with out the advice or approval of the board of prison inspectors. you have in fact direct and complete authority over the conduct and management of the affairs of the pen itentiary.
 We therefore submit to you the result of our investigations, in order that you can through your appointees correct abuses that may exist in the discipline and management of that institution.
 Have Had No Experience.
 "Of those appointed to the position or guard by the present warden, a large number have, according to their own statements, ha1 no experience, either in the handling of prisoners or in the ap- prehension of criminals. Some are over the age of 30 and some are under 20.
 .'In accordance with a custom which has existed for q number of years, these appointments have been made as rewards for political service, and without partic- ular reference to the qualifications or efficiency of the appointment.
 "The policy of using the patronage of the state penitentiary as rewards for such service has resulted in the sanction or many Incompetent men, and lowers the standard of efficiency, and has resulted in lax diseipline among the guards and other empioyes."
