EeebIe Show of Resistance.

St. Petersburg, December % 1:30 p. m.- The correspondent of the Associated Press at Moscow telegraphs that the scattered
 revolutionists there are only able to
 keep up a feeble show of resistance to
 the troops, and the Workmen's council,
 realizing that the revolt is crushed, is
 negotiating terms for the strikers who
 participated in the uprising with the view
 of calling off the strike on Monday.

 Petersburg continue to nf1ame their read
 CTS with stories of desperate fighting in
 the streets of Moscow, representing the
 revolutionists as being In complete pos
 session of ten quare miles of the city,
 which the troops with all their authority
 and machines guns are unable to pierce.
 These papers print columns of descrip- tive matter representing the revolutionists
 fighting valiantly behind barricades
 standing on heaps of corpses of their com
 rades.
