superficial scalp wounds. The mans skull is so

no information.
Early yesterday the inmates of the house were
aroused by the sound of three shots fired in

eral movement in the army. The shrewdest OF
the revolutionary leaders fully appreciate that
the issue must be decided by the attitude of the
army. which is yet to cast the die. instructions
have gone forth that risings must occur every
where in order to test the troops, and if foot
hold be gained ii is the intention of the
rebels to set up a provisional government and
proclaim a republic.
Thus far reports from Moscow do not clear up
the vital point whether any Of the troops there
actually refused to obey commands, although
there persistent rumors that they did. Rev
olutionary leaders here say they have conf1rma-
ton of report that a grenadier brigade and
some Cossacks mutinied, and now locked up
in their barracks
While the military succeeded everywhere in
driving the insurgents from their barricades in
Moscow on Saturday night, the defeat evidently
was not a decisive one, as barricades again
thrown up in dozens of places this morning, and
lighting was resumed before II o'clock.
The Associated Press understands that orders
have been issued for an uprising here. but the
governments measures seemingly render this
impossible. No meetings, public private, are
allowed, which makes assembly of more than
five persons in private lodging illegal. The
prisons are filed with leaders of the revolution
arv elements and agitators. The stores OF arms
have been seized. and an entire organization
consisting of three hundred Crujna, as the stu
dent militia is called has been captured.
Rurnors were purposely- circulated that con-

BELMONT AFTER JERSEY
p. S. c. TRACTION DEAL.
Rumor of Ne1c Tunnel Control
Denied by McAdoo.

William c. McAdoo president of the New
York and New Jersey Tunnel Company last
night denied most emphatcally report, origi-
mating in New-Jersey, that August Belmont had
been backing his Jersey tunnels and now con-
trolled them. Mr.. Belmont, through his recent
purchase of the Ryan control of the Metro
pclitan, has an alliance with the Public Service
Corporation in connection with it's recent tun-
mel scheme and the report was that his back
ing of the McAdoo enterprises would give him
practical control of New-Jersey traction and all
the Hudson streetcar tunnels, as we'll as of the
Manhattan systems.
Mr. McAdoo however, was most emphatic In
his denial of the report. He said:
1t is a pure fabric of some ones imagination.
There is absolutely truth in any report that
Mr. Belmont is interested in the New-York and
New Jersey Tunnel Company That company,
all the tunnel companies in which l am inter
ested are absolutely independent of any COM
binations whatsoever 1 want that made as en-
phatic possible
The report from New-Jersey was that after
negotiations between Mr. Belmont and the Pub
lie Service Corporation fell through about a
year ago Mr.. Belmont joined forces with the
McAdoo tunnel companies, and that thereupOn
the Public Service Corporation opened the
negotiations with Mr.. Ryan which resulted in
the plan, announced two months ago for tun-
mel connecting the two systems
The run1or further declared that the Public
Service Corporation on the point Of obtain
ing Mr. Ryans support for its plans in New
Jersey when the Ryan-BelmOnt deal was an
nounced So confident were the Public Service
men said to have been Of their position that
Mr. McCarter is reported to have said, when the
recent deal was reported to him. that it must
have been twisted. and that Ryan had probably
bought out Belmont.
