Count Witte In Danger Of
Assassination.

st. Petersburg, Dec. H.
Cable communication abroad has
been restored by the !Government
which, however, does not know
how long it can keep the cables
open.
The reign of terror has begun.
The final struggle is on, the dy-
nasty and the imperial govern
ment fighting desperately for ex-
is;ence, the people for freedom.
The Car is melting the loyal
ty Of his guard regiments so that
they will kill with enthusiasm.
Count Wits life is in danger,
it is considered. aud the annex
of the palace where he lives is
trebly guarded.
The report that Witte has re-
signed is again heard widely. II
he has, Gen. Count Alexis igna-
tief, savage reactiouary, will
succeed him.
Hereafter the government will
shoot down the revolutionists or
throw them into prison; will no
more try to placate them with
promises.
The workingmen and the Ter
rorists will meet force with force.
The Workingmen's Council,
"the Invisible Government. - is
indestructible. As fast as the
members of one council are inn
prisoned another is formed.

Comptroller Ridgely made 8
statement as follows: 1.-The ae-
ton Of the Chicago Clearing
House banks in coming to the aid
Of the Chicago National Bank,
the Home Savings Bank and the
Equitable Trust Company has re-
lieved a most critical situation,
which, is il had not been taken
promptly in hand, might have
led 10 very serious consequences,
not only in Chicago, but else
where. The action of the clear
ING house banks makes it abso-
lutely certain that all the credi-
tors of the three institutions will
recesve their money immediately.
and should TINS relieve any ap-
prehension on the part Of the
public I'm regard TO financial
troubles in Chicago.
1.-The critical situation in which
these three ccncers have been
placed has been due to the large
loans made to the railroad, coal
mining and other enterprises
owned and controlled by Mr..
John Il. Walsh. This again en-
phasizes the danger Of managing
officers of banks being interested
i'm outside institutions requiring
large amounts of money. The
comptroller's Office has for some
time been criticising the condi-
tion of the Chicago National
Bank and calling upon its Off
GERS and directors To reduce the
amount of these loans and the in
ycstmcuts in the bonds Of Mr.
Walsh's corporations. I'm spi.e
of repeated promises that TINS
should be done. these items have
been continued in the bank. and
in order to prevent further en-
croaehmcuts ~ was necessary for

action.

A WATER MAIN BURST.
Water Tnrned Off Since Last Night; Re
pairing the Break.

The water main between the
city and the pumping station burst
last evening at point on Mr.. John
sons farm. Water service was
Immediately cut off.
Supt Perry began to repair the
break as quickly as possible and
he expected to have everything in
working order this afternoon.
Mr.. Perry thinks the break was
caused by the sudden turning of
of fire hydraut. When hydrant
is opened the pumps begin to work
automatically, putting on heavy
pressure. If the hydrant is turned
off suddenly, it puts great pressure
on the main and break is liable
to occur at any weak point.
