MOSCOW in DANGER
CONDITIONS WERE MEYER WORSE
REVOLUTION is EMINENT.
Street Fighting Causes Heavy Losses
on Both sides-Mutiny of Soldiers
Has collapsed-They lmplore Par
don Of Their General-Offieers Re-
sumed Command.

Moscow, Dec. 1S.-Condiuons IN this
city have never been worse anu there
is a strong possibility that a revolution
airy government will be established
and soon have control of Moscow.
During the last few days there have
been incessant street fighting and the
casualties on both sides have been
very large.
The mutiny of the Rostof Grenadier
regiment collapsed ANONYMOUSLY Sun
day, owing to internal dissension and
the discomfort of large portion of the
soldiers with the program of the so
cialist leaders, who wished to force
them to open collision with the loyal
troops.
After the meeting two battalions
with a machine gun deserted. The
mutineers sent a deputation to General
Plavoffski, saying they had returned
to duty, imploring his pardon and vol
unteering to enter the barracks and
seize the revolutionary committee so
as to prove lneir repentance. The
leaders endeavoreu in vain to hold the
lection of their comrades took all the
heart from the malcontents.
Upon General Plavofski's ultimatum
that he would open fire unless they i'm
mediately surrendered the remaining
mutineers laid down their arms and
delivered up Private Scalaroff and
other members of the revolutionary
mil toll 20, y,
agitators who were in the barracks.
The officers then resumed command of
the regiment.
The Rostof grenadier mutineers had
held the fort under command of Pri
vate Scalaroff, who acted as president
of the soldiers meeting. In the win
dows of the barracks mounted machine
guns defed the Sumysha regiment and
the local troops which surrounded the
mutineers.
Three other grenadier regiments, the
Ekaterinoslav, the Taurid and the
Nesvich and the artillery garrison
were in sympathy with the rest o.
their comrades, compelled all theii
officers to leave the barracks and Sc
lected representatives who we're il
communication with the mutineers.
The mutineers formally presented t
their commanders a series of demands
principally relating to the service, bu
including also political reforms, anC
they issued an appeal to the soldier
of the garrison to join in the fight 70
improved conditions. Accompanying
In. IA
hey were not granted by Tuesday mex
the mutineers would march out to tn
streets and parade the city. Genera

resolutions to his superior officers.

CLEANING FISH BY MACHINE.
Labor saving Devices in Use In n
Great Northwest Canncry.


Great Northwest Cannery.
Hidden away among the ware
houses and sheds on Railroad avenue
south of Moran's shlpyards is the only
cannery In seattle.
In speaking OF the work OF the can
merry, Superintendent h. b. Dutton
said:
This cannery was installed here
more as an experiment tAan as a pure
ly business proposition but every one
connected with 1t had full faith I'm its
ultimate success. The short time that
it has been running has demonstrated
that 1t is one Of the safest and best
investments that could have been
made; in fact, It has exceeded the
hopes of the most sanguine. Since the
opening OF the season we have been
canning on an average Of 10000 fish
daily, not counting a large number Of
halibut that were packed fresh.
THE run this year, although not as
large as that Of 1901 or the run Of
four years before that date, is very
good. Last week we had more salmon
than we could handle. We are conf
dent that our seasons pack will reach
10000 cases. We employ about 100
people. but during the heavy run we
have almost double that number.
Most of our cannery hands are Chi
nese and Japanese. The Chinese make
the best men for the delicate testing of
the cans after they have been soldered
and boiled. All our overseers are
white men, and, Of course, are old
fishermen.
"Our new fsh-cleaning machine is
the latest addition to the plant. This
machine is one of the most marvellous
inventions l ever saw. 1t scales and
cleans the fish and also cuts of the
heads and fms and washes the body
ready for the cans. From that machine
they slide down a chute, where thej
are caught by another cleverly ar
ranged mechanism that cuts them into
pieces that just fit the cans. Another
machine puts the pieces in the cans
and by means of an endless chain they
are passed along to where the cans are
automatlclly covered and soldered
From the time the fish is put in tn,
cleaning machine 1t is never touch ed
by the hand Of any man. The use OF
machines insures perfect cleanliness.

HELD-UP THE TRAIN
NORTHERN PACIFIC EXPRESS AT
NORTH YAKIMA, WASHINGTON.
Two Masked Men Compel Engineer to
Stop Train and Then Use Dynamite
on Car and Two Safes, Shatterinq
Both and Securing contents-Made
Good Their Escape.

North Coast Limited express No. l,
westbound, was held up and robbed 10
miles west of North Yakima, Wash,
at o'clock Saturday night. Two
masked men compelled the engineer to
stop the train and run the locomotive,
mail and express cars half mile west
OF the balance of the train.
The robbers, it is said, then com
PEELED the engineer at the point OF
their guns to set off seven charges OF
dynamite, which blew out the ends
anu sides of the express car, and shat
tered the through" and local" safe.
They decamped with the contents, TAX
ing shots at the fireman, who stuck
mis- head out of the engine cab, and at
the head of the brakeman they OBJ
served approaching.
The amount of plumber obtained is
unknown.
Passengers were not molested, and
no one was injured.
Engineer George w. Howe was in
charge of the locomotive west of Spo-
kane, with Conductor Jesse Huxtable.
At Hillside station, Is miles west OF
North Yakima, two men climbed over
the tender of the engine into the cab
and presented guns at the heads OF
the engine crew. The train was stop
ped at the command of the robbers.
Then the engine, tender, express and
mail cars were cut off, run down tue
track and stopped. One man stood
guard over the train crew, while the
second attached explosives to the ex-
press car doors. Both doors were
blown from their fastenings.
The bandits attacked both safes in
the express car. One is known as the
through" safe and is built into the
car at the shops. Its contents are
locked up at the point Of departure
and only removed at the terminal. The
strong box was shattered and its con.
tents removed. The local safe, to
which the messenger has a key, was
then shattered and such valuables as
Il contained were taken out. The ex
press messenger and mail clerk were
in the dining car at the time.
Reports received at the general o.
ices of the Northern Pacific state that
both men were masked and heavily
armed. They we're of medium height
inclined to be slight in build, wore
black hats and coats and blue over
ais. One mans overalls were badly
torn. On releasing the trainmen botf
decamped in the direction of NORTH
Yakima.

Chinese Ruler.

The Empress Dowager Of China was
sold into slavery at the age of eleven,
to save her family from starvation.
Afterwards she was presented to the
late Emperor, and, upon his wife's
death, became Empress Her feet were
never bound, and she was taught to
read after persistent pleading. The
sterling qualities of this wonderful
woman, like those of Pillsbury's vitos,
have overcome every obstacle. And
she holds herself at the head of China,
as does vitos at the head of breakfast
foods.

The visitor to Clinton, n. Y, who

which bespeak large wealth, but the

CUT EXPENSES ON THE IsTHMUs.
Roosevelt Gives High Officials strict
Orders.


President Roosevelt has taken up
the matters connected with the 18TH
milan canal, as developed by debate in
the senate during the first of the week.
tie is determined to prevent further
criticism of the character put forward
Oy Senators Tillman, Culberson and
others.
Senators Allison and Hale, both
members of the appropriation commit
Tee, were present. The president made
it plain to Mr.. Shonts that the literary
bureau in charge of Secretary Bishop
must be at once discontinued and Mr..
Bishop cOnfine his services purely to
administrative matters. He also dis
cussed the ACCESSIBILITY of reoucing his
salary from the $4,000 now paid to
$4,000, or some other moderate sum. It
was also made apparent to Chairman
Shonts that if he still has an official
connection with the Glover Leaf rail-
road, il must be severed Immediately.
Senator Tillman declared that Mr.
Shonts is still active president of the
system and neither Mr.. Shonts nor
any of the administration senators
have entered a denial of the declara-
ton.
The president further gave Mr.
Snonts much advice regarding the con-
duct of affairs on the isthmus. 1t is
prescribed in the presidents orders
that the canal commission must leave
at once for that place.
The bill appropriating S11,0OO,00O for
the canal work, passed by the senate
yesterday, provides that within 80 days
the secretary OF the treasury must fur
nish estimates to the senate and house
appropriations committees of all
salaries paid those employed on canal
work except laborers and unshlled
laborers. This feature Of the bill
was discussed with Senators ALI
son and Hale. 1t is believed that
many reforms will be instituted in the
administration of the canal before an
other appropriation is requested from
congress. This work of reform must
begin at once, as Secretary Taft says
the S11 100000 now being obtained will
last no longer than the first of April
at the outside.
In the meantime Senator Tillman
will begin a strong agitation after the
holiday recess for a thorough investi
cation of the entire canal situation. He
will be opposed by the republicans, but
supported by the democrats. Even
some Of the republicans favor an in
quiry. and Senator Tillman threatens
to cause much trouble unless matters
are put on such basis as to preven
just criticism.

Death BYEXPLOSION
GELIGNITE In TRAINING HOUSE
AT ROSSLAKD, B. c.
Fifteen Hundred Pounds Exploded
Through No Known Cause, Killing
John S. lngram-Scores of People
Hurt and Many Buildings Damaged
Center Star Co. Heavy Loser.

Rossland, B. c., Dec. 1S.-At 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon 1000 to
1900 pounds of gelignite in the thaw-
ing house of the Center Star mine ex-
ploded through no known cause, kill
ing John S. Ingram, formerly chief of
police here, and injuring several scores
of people. Ingram was foreman blaster
and his death removed the only pos
sible source of information as to the
cause of the explosion. His body was
recovered from the debris badly man
gled. Lockhart, assistant diamond
drill operator, who was at work under
the Center Star offices, was struck by
flying glass, which cut his nose off
clearly. Several members of the of
flee staff and men in the compressor
building were hurt by flying glass or
by being thrown violently against the
machinery.
A partial list of the injured follows:
e. M. Brown, badly cut about the
head; Mrs. M. E. Purcell, badly cut;
Mrs. George Cain, cut about the face;
Mrs. Leary Donahue, badly cut and
bruised about the fact and neck; VIII
liam Tomlinson, face badly cut. Many
were more or less slightly injured by
falling glass.
Buildings Badly Shattered.
The buildings in the immediate vi
cinity were twisted out of shape and
the windows all broken. The big War
Eagle boarding house is badly dam
aged, some of the inmates being in
jured slightly. In the city the shock
of the explosion caused much conster-
nation and did a large amount of dam
age. Nearly all plate glass. windows
on Columbia avenue were smashed
many people receiving cuts from frag
ments. Merchants had Christmas
goods displayed, much destruction be-
ing wrought among these.
The amount of glass destroyed is
enormous and heavy importations fol
repairs will be necessary. The citi
zens feel thankful, however that the
loss Of life and property was not
greater. The Center Star War Eagle
and lie Roi mines will be shut dowr
for a few days because of injury tC
the steam and air pipes and com
pressor machinery and the practica
wreck of buildings containing them.
The damage can not be exactly ap
praised, but it is thought it will reacl
