The Most Ancient Ruins.

The oldest architectural ruins in the
world are believed to be the rock cut
temples at Ipsambool. on the left bank
of the Nile, in Nubia. The largest of
these ancient temples contains fourteen
apartments heWn out of solid stone.
The largest single stone USED in this
work is one which forms IA yeranda-like
projection along one side Of the main
temple. 1t is fifty-seyen feet long, ff-
ty-two broad and seventeen Zone ac-
count says nineteen) feet thick. This
colossal stone is supported by two
rows of massive square pillars, four in
each row and each thirty feet high.
To each of these pillars is attached a
colossal figure of a human being, reach
ing from floor to roof. In front of the
main temple are seated still other CO.
lossi, four in number. the two largest
being each siXty-ive feet high.
The only hint we have as to the
actual age of these architectural rel
les is from Smith, the British Egyptol-
ogist, who says, THE colossi attached
to the columns which support the large
stone mentioned are each painted in
gaudy colors in a kind of stucco, appar-
emily as brilliant now after a lapse of
over 1000 years as when first laid on"

with her fell under suspicion of the
government. Nine. Breshkovsky and
1000 others were arrested. About 1000
of these were imprisoned. Some 300
were detained for trial, and of these
100 died because of the i'll treatment
they received while in prison await

B~reshkovsky was sentenced to work in
the gold mines of Siberia, a coincidence
full of irony in view of the fact that
it had been her dream to become rich
through gold mines in order to help
the peasants. Before her sentence she
was kept for a long time in the ''black
hole" a pit, damp and without light.
On the journey of 5000 miles to the
prison to which she was committed in
Siberia she experienced many horrors.
Nine. Breshkoysky seeks to arouse
the interest of the American people in
the condition of the poorer classes in
Russia and to secure aid in creating
sentiment outside of Russia against the
governmental abuses which exist under
the rule of bureaucracy.

Chief Engineer Stevens Will So Ad'

Washington, Dec. 2S-Chairman
Shonts, accompanied by Chief Engi'
neer j. F. Stevens of the isthmian
canal commission, have arrived in
Washington. Mr.. Stevens has come to
Washington to give his views to the
commission on the type of canal that
should be constructed. His advice to
the commission will be based upon his
study of the great engineering prob
lem, as he has been on the ground fol-
several months.
Mr.. Stevens, it may be definitely
stated, is in favor of lock canal and
at moderately high level. He will
recommend to the commission the con
struction of lock canal for num-
ber of reasons, which he is prepared
to present, but principally because, in
his opinion, the cost and length o1
time which will be required for build
ing such a canal can be estimated
with a great degree of defniteness
while the cost and time required fol
constructing a sea level canal pre-
sents problem so indefinite that in
his opinion it's consideration is not
advisable.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Charles T.
Yerkes, street railway fnancier and
constructor of the London underground
railways, was so close to his death
just before midnight that consulta-
tion of physicians was hurriedly called
at his bedside and all the members of
his family gathered in his rooms in
the Waldorf Astoria
Dangerously ill for several weeks
Mr.. Yerkes suffered two days ago a
turn very much for the worse. His
disease, which is very painful, began
to attack the heart. The patient failed
rapidly and became unconscious.
Though insensible to all sounds and
unable to speak his agony was ex.
treme and greatly affected his wife,
son and daughter, who had been hastily
summoned.
DR.. H. P. Loomis was called to his
patients side and other ply sicians
joined him in conference Their eff.
forts proved successful in staying the
progress of the disease for a time and
about midnight Mr.. Yerkes rallied.
The physicians agreed that he prob.
ably would survive for another day,
but did not think he would live mpre
than two days.

OPEN FIGHT FOR CONTROL
OFFICIAL CABLE EXPLAINS PRES
ENT DISTURBANCE IN
u. SANTO DOMINGO.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The state de.
partment has received a cable from
San Domingo which throws much
needed light on the revolutionary dis.
turbance reported from there. These
were to the effect that the diplomatic
corps had been notified by the Domin.
ican minister for foreign affairs that
the president (Morales) having aban.
doned the capital, leaving the govern.
ment without an active head, the cab
met had called upon the vice presi.
dent General Caceres) to take charge
pending the temporary failure of the
president to exercise his functions.
The city of Santo Domingo was quiet
and the cabinet officers were eXercis-
ing their functions without interrup.
tion. ....... :.
President Morales was reported to
be at Jaima, ten or twenty miles from
the capital, among band of revolu
tionists who were fighting there.
AS the situation is understood here
there has been no actual change in
the dominant party in Santo Domingo
as the result of Morales abandonment.
The fact is the party known as Hora-
cia, of which General Caceres, the vice
president, is the principal figure, has
all along controlled the cabinet and
this cabinet in turn, owing to the pecu.
liarity of the Dominican constitution,
has cOmDletely dominated the Dresi-
Dental Office. AS Morales was ambi-
tious to conduct his own government
he fell under suspicion of disloyalty to
his party and also was suspected of
intending to join the opposition or
Jiminez party. Finding himself with
out power because the cabinet con.
trolled the party Morales anticipated
removal by the party leaders and fled
to the revolutionists with the inten-
tion Of securing a sufficient force to
re-enter the capital and drive out his
enemies ...

FRiGHTFUL BLOODSHED.
Casualties at Moscow Will Reach
Fifteen Thousand.

Fifteen Thousand.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 2S.-An inspired
statement in the Slovo says the gov
ernment 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 the soldiers
necessarily were employed in guard
ing the government buildings, leaving
a comparatively small number avail
able 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.
From an independent source the
Slovo declares it has learned that the
bloodshed at Moscow has been fright
full and that the casualties will reach
$4,000 and that about 100 Red Cross
workers have been dispatched 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 England, transshipped
there and smuggled into. Russia
through Finland and the Baltic prov
inces.
The information Of other papers is
that, while admitting that the revolu-
tionists are showing signs of exhaus-
ton, they do not regard the issue as
decided. The Molva RUSS, which
reappeared during the day, fans the
flames by holding out encouragement
for the success Of the revolt. The
paper declares that the area of the
fighting is increasing instead of dimin-
lshing and asserts that the insurgents
are holding six miles of barricades.
In spite of the bad prospects here
the leaders of the revolutionists are
continuing their desperate efforts to
bring on general conflict.
OUTBREAK is EXPECTED.
