AUTOMATIC PROMOTION. +.
Doscling Bill ProUides This for
Charities Department.
IBr TELEGRAPH TO rHr TRIBUNE !

Ell
Albany. Feb. 1S.-A bill affecting New-York
City department and establishing a principle
generally regarded as dangerous to efficient pub
lie service, and. as illustrated in the Police De-
partment. calculated to remove all incentive
among city employees for anything except per-
functory service, has been introduced by Assem-
blynan Dowling. This bill eliminates from the
reasons for promotion in single department
that Of Corrections everything but length of
service. Beginning by limiting the powers of
appointment and removal possessed by the Com
missioner under the present law to the pro-
visions of the new measure, it then makes the
keepers of the department members of the uni
formed force.
Then comes the application of the principle of
promotion by automatic action. The keepers
are divided into five grades. In the first are
placed those who have served in the department
for four years more. in the second not less
than three. in the third not less than two, in
the fourth not less than one Those hereafter
appointed Will begin in the fifth grade Each
year the keeper will thus advance a grade as
he adds year of service
The compensation is fixed thus: First grade
men, not less than $1,000; second grade, not
less than SLIGO: third grade not less than
$1,000; fourth grade. not less than 5000. and
fifth. not less than $500. In every case the
maximum is unlimited. the minimum only is
specified. Thus for four years each employee.
without effort or improved service, adds 500 TO
his salary.
Equally interesting the restrictions placed
about removal The measure provides that
no member Of the uniformed force of the de-
partment shall be removed. except on written
charges public examination. hearing and inves-
tigation OF the charges. The examination may
be before the Deputy Commissioner but the
removal can only be after the approval of the
decision by the Commissioned The testimony
at the hearing must be put in writing by the
Commissioner and the grounds for removal en-
tered on the record of the department After
all this the ernploye- removed is still 70 have
the right sue out a writ of certiorari or other
appropriate action for reviewing the decision Of
the Commissioner. and if his action is success
ful he is 10 be reinstated and TO receive fu:l
pay for the time OF his suspension renewal
The net effect OF this would, OF course, be to
make appointment TO this department the en-
teripe on a life tenure. No employe could hope
for advancement on merit; nothing but auto
matte time serving could help him. Moreover.
many see in this bin the entering wedge for the
extension of the provisions to all city depart
rneDts A measure not radically differing from
this was vetoed by Mayor Mcclellan last year

the St. Petersburg district. The spirit of the troops is decidedly loyal. From fragmentary accounts received from Moscow, 1 gather that the civil war has brought no decisive action, but on ly thickening of the blood cloud, an intensity of the horrors and an increase of the prevailing bitterness.
 ''The driving force behind both the troops and the rebels is no longer that of enthusiasm or of any human inn pulse. It is the force of superhuman hate, and hence the deeds reported are not the acts of patriots, soldiers CT otherwise, but the enOrmlties or mad men. It is impossible to understand how any emotion, even of the extremes of despair or hate, can impart such foolhardy courage as some of the re- bels display. For every barricade de- stroyed on Sunday two or three ap peared in other places. Orders were given by the revoluuonists to shoot only when there was good hope of bringing a man down but otherwise to tire out the troops until they lost patience.
 Tn the meantime in their houses the bulk of the population covers in the innermost recesses of kitchens and cellars, stricken with fear and tremD- ling at every boom of the cannon or the explosion of a bomb. The most sur prising thing of all is the loyalty of the troops which nobody here antici- pated.
 Talking with an intelligent group of St. Petersburg revolutionists l was in- formed that while they believed the strike would be victorious, they fully realized they were stalking everything upon the issue and that failure would set bIck tnair cause for several years. They said they were devoting their eff forts to shaking the foundations of Russian finance, in full confidence that once the existing regime was over thrown they could quickly build an- other and that foreign nations would be as ready to advance money to a democratic republic as to the auto cracy. They emphatically denied that they were melting the peasantry to commit agrarian outrages, declaring that these outrages were the work of the socialists, but they did not deny their advocacy of the distribution of the crown lands among the peasants.
 "In conclusion they declared that in the event of the failure of their cause they would have recourse to terrorism. choosing their victims from all classes of society,""

A BLOODY CHRISTMAS.
The Fighting at Moscow Continues
 Unabated.

London, Dec. 25.-The correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at St. Peters burg in a dispatch dated at 6: 45 ?. m., Dec. 25, says: At an early hour this morning the casualties at Moscow were estimated Tt 5000 killed and 14,000 wounded, with the fighting still pro ceeding. The inhabitants of Moscow have been forbidden to leave their dwellings after o'clock in the even ing. It is impossible to move about the city in consequence of the frequency of stray bullets. Many innocent per sons have been accidentally killed A scarcity of provisions is threatened.
 The same correspondent telegraph ing at 10:30 p. m. says: Your Mos COW correspondents telegrams have not been accepted because all details were refused. It is learned. however, that canon firing is now proceeding in various parts of the city where tonight very near the railroad stations, the barricades erected by the revolution aries are being desperately defended. The Kursk terminus at Moscow is be- ing pillaged and many wagons laden with provisions are being footed.

Third Day of the Fight
 ing
The Continued Determination of the Revolutionists and the Unex; ected Loyalty of the Troops.

St Petersburg, Dec. 25.-Direct tele- graphic communication with Moscow was severed last night, but the gov ernment succeeded in restoring com munication by roundabout route this morning. All reports agree that fight ing yesterday, which continued until midnight assumed the nature of butch cry by machine guns of the artillery
 grape and canister being employed mercilessly against ill-armed insur- gents. Atrocious tales are told of Cossacks, who, piled with vodka until drunk, fired down the streets, some times charging with lances. The in surgents displayed great stubbornness in holding their barricades, even ad- vanoing in a mass to the slaughter. At the same time bombs were thrown from windows of houses near the bar ricades occupied by revClutionaries
 Artillery was summoned and battered houses to pieces. The plan of the in

CT of the troops was about to give the order to fire, when a volley came from the house. Several soldiers were kill ed or wounded. The troops immedi- ately replied.
 "Soon a white handkerchief was waved from a window. The troops en- tered but were greeted with rifle fire and they retired and again bombarded the house. Shortly afterward a white flag was again waved and the sur render of the revolutionaries was com plete." The correspondent also de- scribes the fighting in other sections of the city, resulting in every case in the defeat of the reVolutionaries.
 "The desperate courage of the mob the correspondent says, was marvel ous. Units of threes, tens and hun dreds would sally forth, be driven back and rally against the enormous odds, eager to accomplish the impos- sible. Early in the evening the hospi- tals were filled and private dwellings were crowded with the wounded.
 The principal thoroughfare, the Iverskaia, looks like q street in city captured by a foreign foe. BivOuac fires burn in the streets and rifles are stretched on the pavement. During all this needless effusion of blood, in Old Moscow, the people were shopping visiting and otherwise carrying on the ordinary occupations as if nothing in particular was going on.
 Yesterdays doings marked the most important manifestation of Russian an archy and will prove, as the anarchists say, that it will end in the defeat of the troops. There is still hope that a popular reactionary movement may be avoided. but the wrath of the peasants is waxing strong.
 "In the station at Yelna, on the Kieff and Voroneshe line, entire famil- ies of railway officers and strikers have been literally cut to piece3 by tEc peasants and there is other cumula- tive evidence of a determination on tue 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 blow at the em- pire. Hungry bands are pillaging wher- ever they can. The station of Nicolaieff on the Kazan railway, they footed fiji. teen cars loaded with necessaries oi life for the Christmas tide.
 "A ukase will be published in a day or two embodying the new electoral law and fixing a date for the elections to the douma. The severest criticism is directed against the government foI the failure to adopt promptly repres- sive measures Cainst the revolution ists."

CHRISTMAS GIFT
 TO N. Y. WORKMEN
An immunity For Three Years
 Against Strike.

New York, Dec. 25.-No workers were happier today than the 100000 skilled men in the building trades, when it was announced that every union, with the exception of the souse smiths and bridgemen, had signed a trade agree ment of from one to three years to go into effect on January 1, next. By this action, the unions have officially re- pudiated the strike of the structural iron workers.
 In many of the trades the prevailing wage will continue for the coming year. The wages of the house carpenters, however, will be increased thirty cents a day and the cabinet makers will re- ceive an increase of twenty-five cents a day, beginning next July. The trade agreements now date from January 1, instead of May, as heretofore. This step was taken because the employers do not want strikes on their hands on May 1, when the busy building season beCins.

RIGA IS AT PEACE.
But There Is no Assurance of a Long
 Continuance.

Riga, Dec. 23.-CVia Eydtkuhnen, Dec. 25.)-The railroad employees throughout the Baltic provinces went out on strike last night. The news papers protest against the false reports printed abroad to the effect that Riga was bOmbarded and was burning and that the revolutionists blew up a train carrying 200 Cossacks and the Asso- ciated Press is able to deny these ru- mors. The town is perfectly quiet, the inhabitants go about unmolested, street traffic is carried on in good or der and there are opera performances daily, though attended by small audi ences.
 Soldiers and police are patrolling the streets day and night. Three cruisers gre anchored in the harbor at the dis posal of the new governor general. Lollohub, who has not yet arrived Foreigners are in perfect safety at present but they are of the opinion that it would be a wise precautiOn if each of the principal powers had war ships cruising in the Baltic in readi- ness in emergencies, as passenger steamers would be unable to embark refugees in case of armed opposition.
 The revClutionaries continue a pro- gram of agitation. hold daily meetings and they have posted an order to their partisans to disarm the soldiers. The Libau. the cruiser Okean and the tor pedo boat Protchny have arrived. The town is in full control of the troops and the agitators are quiet and hold ing few meetings.
 At a IT eeting of the foreign consuls
 it was decided to fly the national col ors over the cOnsulates. While the town is regarded as sufficiently pro tected by Russian warships, foreigners in case of necessity could find refuge in the foreign merchant ships in tIe harbOr, although it is uncertain if the revolutionists would respect foreign flags. Dohlen is in the hands of the revolutionists, who have established a
 provisional government.
 The public affairs of Coldingen for nine days have been in the hands of an administrative committee. An au-
 tonomist committee has organized a police service, the policemen wearing red ribbons on their sleeves. The regular police laid down their arms and took off their uniforms after one
 of their number was executed. The
