FIFTY OFFICERS TAKEN.
General MistchenHco NmTo5cty
Esc0nes Cdpture by Rebels.

St. Petersburg Dec. q, 1:25 p. m-Lieutenant
General Mistchenko, who commanded CosSack
brigade in Manchuria during the Russo-'apah-
ese War has arrived at Moscow. and may nave
taken over the command OF the troops lhel @
He had a narrow escape from capture oy the
revolutionists at st. Andrews Monastery oll
the outskirts of the city, where the railroad
track was blocked by barricades of freight ana
passenger cars.
The general and two members OF his stan
managed to get a sleigh and reach MOSCOW pS
making a wide circuit but fifty officers return
ing from Manchuria who were left behind. were
surrounded, captured and forced to give up thelr
arms. They begged to be allowed to keep the
gold swords given them for bravery, out the
revolutionists refused their request
The "Slovor to-day says that the government
expects the revolt at Moscow to be completely
crushed within four days. The duration OF the
rising is explained by the small number OF
troops available, many of whom necessarily
were employed in guarding the government
buildings leaving comparatively small nunloer
available to cope with the insurgents over the
wide area of the disturbance. Fresh troops have
now arrived and the end is said to be near
The "Slovo" says:
The grenadiers have wiped out the stain on
their honor with blood, fighting IN the front
ranks at their own request
From an independent source the same paper
saws it has learned that the bloodshed at Mos
COW has been frightful that the casualties will
reach 10000 and that about 100 Red Cross
workers have been sent from st. Petersburg to
Moscow to aid in caring for the wounded. The
paper also says it has learned that the arms OF
the revolutionists mostly came from Germany
and Belgium whence they were shipped to Eng
land trsnsshipped there and smuggled into
Russia through Finland and the Baltic prov
inces The "Slovo'' adds:
When our plenipotentiary sought to prevent
the sailing of those vessels through the consuls
the latter refused TO act all the vessels hew
foreign flags
Other papers say that although the rebels
are showing signs of exhaustion they do not re-
gard the issue as decided. The "Molva" holds
out hopes Of the success Of the revolt, saying
that the area of the fighting is increasing in
stead of diminishing. 1t asserts that the insur-
gents are holding six miles Of barricades, and
adds
Even if the revolt fails it will only be
temporary reverse, and it will be begun again
in January or February.
The belief that the Moscow revolt was collap-
sing was reflected the Bourse here to-day.
All issues rose sharply, Imperial As jumping two
points to 1884, and government lotteries going
up fifteen points to AS.

SCIENTISTS NOT ANTT.CHRIsTMAs.
Mrs. Eddy's Edict Merely to Stop Gifts to
Her Personally.

The story that Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy has
issued an edict that forbids Christian Scientists
from exchanging Christmas gifts is denied by
prominent members of the church. H c. Will
son. in his office, No. 1 Madison-ave., said:
The attitude Of Mrs. Eddy has been msin-
terpreted. She recently contributed her views
unon Christmas observance to a symposium
that has been perverted and made to lend itself
to story that does her great injustice.
The bylaw promulgated in the issue of "Ths
Christian Science Sentinel" for December %. as
explained by Mr.. Wilson. was an amendment to
the manual Of the church in Boston. Ths
amendment is as follows:
Members of this church who turn their atten-
ton from the divine principle of being to per-
sonality sending gifts. congratulatory dis
patches or letters to the pastor emeritus on
THANKSGIVING, Christmas, New Years or Easter,

therefor

son, Ito abridge the privilege of the exchange Of
greetings or gifts in families or among friends

cised her right TO regulate the matter as be

London. Dec. 27.---John Burns, president of the
Local Government Board, made his first public
address since his entry into the Cabinet when
he opened the election campaign at Battersea
tonight. In a characteristic, courageous speech
he said his accession to Office was the elevation
of his constituents to power-the honor was
theirs but the work for him. He said that
he would pander to no section of the population
but would do his duty for the benefit of the
whole community.
Mr.. Burns said he had such strong sympathy
with all the interests of the working classes that
he had no sympathy to spare for the loafer
cadger or drunkard His ideal was fewer work
houses, smaller charities, larger wages. more
pleasure and less drink
In the smaller cities and in the larger villages

to enable the rate payers to have their accounts
prepared in such way that he who might

product" He denounced Chinese labor. as being
