BULLETIN.
MOSCOW, Dec. 2s.-The electric lighting
system was restored at 3 O'Clock this after
noon The streets are gradually assuming
their normal condition. 1t is probable that
the railroads will soon commence their reg
ular schedules Work has been resumed in
most of the factories. The town council
is organizing a system for the relief Of
the families OF the victims of the recent
disturbances.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 2e.-The sup
preston of the insurrection at Moscow and
the certainty that similar uprisings else
where will be crushed mark the collapse
~ the first attempt OF the reds" to over
throw the government arms and admins
ters a defeat from which II is not be-
lieved in government circles the revolu-
tionaries can quickly recover.
Now that the smoke of battle is clear
ing away the utter hopelessness of the
conflict seems to be apparent. The popu-
lace held aloof and not a single military
unit actually Joined the revolutonaries.
. Even the general strike crumbled under
their feet by their challenging and pre-
cipitating a conflict before the proleterat
ment secured comparatively easy though
ruthless victory. and it is believed in high
official circles that the organizations have
been so demoralized and disrupted by the
blow and by the arrest of their most able
leaders that II would be impossible for
them to attempt the coup planned for the
anniversary Of bloody Sunday" In des-
peration undoubtedly the revolutionaries
will again have recourse to acts of terror
which they will spring at the most unex-
pected moment.
The country has quieted down, and the
cabinet now hopes that the selections to
the douma are assured and that the gov
ernment can devote its time TO the sup
preston of the revolt in the Baltic prov
inces. and more especially 10 the solution
of the agrarian question. II means cannot

an extent that the landlords in the neigh
borhood of Minsk are calling their tenants

Costly victory for Czar.
Peter Struve, editor of the Osvobojdnie
(Emancipation) who has again shifted his
position, publishes a ringing article this
afternoon in which he admits the defeat
of the attempt aimed at the overthrow
of the government. He says the attempt
of course, was madness and was bound to
be extinguished In blood. Nevertheless
he alleges, there was a heroic spirit behind
1t which should terrify the government,

conclusion. summons all the forces OF
emancipation to bury their dissensions and
to unite In a final struggle. The report
that Lieutenant General Mistchenko has
been wounded is not true.
The League of Leagues has split. one
portion favoring continuance OF the STRIKE
and another the abandonment OF violen
tactics and cooperation in peaceful prep
aration for the work of the douma. witt
