st. Petersburg, Dec. 21.-The police
force has been completely wiped out
and the courts and the government are
in the hands of the revolutionists.
The news that reaches here today from
the interior, nearby, as well as the
distant provinces OIL Russia, is simply
terrible. Lawlessness is general and
at Barkoff 100 estates have been plum
dered by the maddened ~peasantry.
Added to the terrors of the home re-
gion, the telegraph today brings stories
of fearful mutiny and rioting in the
Manchurian army and the Witnessing
of terrible scenes in the neighborhood
of V~ladivostok. A detachment of Cos
sacks attacked the barracks at Tomsk,
where 900 mutineers were confined,
and set fire to the building. The i'm
prisoned men were roasted alive. Cos
sacks also set fire to a block of houses
and massacred 100 residents as they
attempted to escape. The strike con-
tinues in .ioscow, and daily 1t is ex-
pected st. Petersburg will be isolated.
The czar will tomorrow make his
final plan to meet the crisis now at

train left the Warsaw station with
military engine drivers and under a
strong guard of soldiers. h loco

LAWS WIPED OUT IN
STRICKEN EMPIRE

Russian strike called for noon today
went into effect with widespread re-
suits. The workmen showed them
selves subject to wonderful discipline
in quitting their positions at the call
of leaders. An ~indescribable panic
was created among the people gen.
orally. Everybody feels that this is
the opening OF the last act of the great
national tragedy, which will result
either in victory for the rev%olutionists
or in the re-establishment of the re-
dictionary power in full control. In
either event, financial ruin of the
country seems imminent. The army's

Ponds is far from ~reassuring to the
~bureaucrats. Many soldiers were ar
rested while addressing the people in
the streets and promising o to fire
on their brothers. The city markets
are thronged by people laying in big
stocks of provisions. Prices of neces-
stiles are leaping upwards. Many in
cidents of riot and bloodshed are re-
ported from the Baltic to the Black
seas.

That was the statement made this
morning to a reporter for The Repub-
lican by Mr.. L. B. Merriam of Chey-
enne, the engineer for the wyoming di-
vision of the Union Pacific, who had
come to the city on purpose to look the
situation over. He had in his pocket
a very encouraging letter on the sub
ject from General Manager Mohler of
the Union Pacific, but was not at lib
erty to make it public. He contented
himself with saying that Mr.. Mohler is
heartily in favor of such plans as will
place the water system of the city in
excellent shape, from the railroad com.
pany's point of view.
Mr.. Merriam and Mayor Mckee drove
over the Grand avenue line of the main
pipe today, to give the engineer an op-
portunity to investigate for himself. He
was shown the leaks that had been dis
covered and saw the section of pipe re-
moved to be replaced with new pipe.
81 had no idea the pipe was so bad
ly broken" he said. MIR. Merriam did
not know the quality of the material
used in making the pipe until today,
and said he had no idea how rust and
the elements had consumed it. He
could hardly believe his eyes.
''The pipe should be of cast iron,'
he said. Such pipe will last almost
beyond belief. / know of pipe in the
streets of Philadelphia which was laid
before the Revolution and it is doing
duty today. The life of castiron pipe
is almost, one might say, for all time
Asked as to the size of pipe the com
pany would lay, Mr.. Merriam said he
could not state that. He was furnish
ing data and the higher officials would
furnish the facts. He said he thought
the city would be the result of the esti-
mates being made, and that size pipe
would carry every gallon of water that
is needed. A twelve-inch main along
Grand avenue, an eight-inch main
along, say, Second street to the outer
edge of the district embracing the
heaviest consumption, a smaller main
running backward toward the springs
along n of the outlaying streets, con,
nected at Tenth street, say, with the
Grand avenue main, and then four-inch
laterals along the different streets, con.
nected at each end with the larger lat.
erals, would be his idea OF the size OF
the system.
This would bring a main pipe in
front of the property OF every resident
and leave no place for the growth or
accumulation of vegetable or animal
matter in the water and provide ample
fire protection"
Mayor Mckee suggested that a larg'
er main should be laid on Grand ave,
nue., but Mr.. Merriam believed thai
would be useless, as the ~twelve-inch
pipe would carry the full supply of the
Spring if all the openings were flow
ing, and a larger pipe could do nothing
more than this. The reservoir at the
springs will furnish an abundant sup
ply at all times and the pipe would
carry it to the distributing laterals and
they to the houses and stores of the
city.
Mr.. Merriam will make his report to
the chief engineer. He did not hest,
tate to say that if the facts were found
as represented, the company would lay
the main. Mayor Mckee believes that
the city, in that event, will be ready
and willing to do its full share toward
making the distribution system perfect
in every way.

TO BENEFIT
Nebraska Congressman Would Help
Them Secure Pensions.

Bill for Benefit of WIDOWS.
Washington, Dec. PA pension bill
was today introduced by Congressman
Hinshaw providing that a soldiers
widow, upon due proof of legal widow
hood, shall without further evidence
or delay, be granted the same amount
of pension which the soldier was draw
ing at the time of his death. Under
the present law the chief difficulty that
confronts a soldiers widow when she
applies for a pension is evidence in de
tail required to establish her net in
come, and where it is close to the lie,
gal limit of $3.50 frequently a special
examiner is sent and much delay and an
noyance occurs. This bill would entire
Ily remove these objections. Mr.. Hin
shaw will make a strong effort with
the committee on pensions for a faV'
orable report and hopes the house will
