(By the Associated Press }

st. Petersburg, Dec. 27.-I1:36 d.
M According to information re-
ceived by the Revolutionary leaders
here, an armed rebellion on a large
scale has been planned in Poland. The
Socialist Revolutionaries, encouraged
by the success of the insurgents in the
Baltic provinces and the situation at
Moscow and in Russia generally, have
decided that the moment has come to
try to cast off the yoke of the auto
cracy.
The tactics to be followed are the
same as those adopted at Moscow, the

FIGHTING IN ST. PETERSBURG.
rroonS Arriving From Manchuria Are
Rushed Straight Through to the
Rebellious Baltic Provinces.
(Bv the Associated Pres


st. Petersburg, Dec. 27.-l:25 p. m.
An inspired statement i'm the Slovo to-
day saws. the government expects the
revolt at Moscow to be completely
crushed within four days. The dura-
ton of the rising is explained by the
small number of troops available.
Fresh troops have now arrived, ana
the end is said to be near. From an
Independent source the Slovo declares
it has learned that the bloodshed at
Moscow has been frightful and that
the casualties will reach $4,000 and
that about 100 Red Cross workers
have been dispatched from st. Peters,
burg to Moscow to aid in caring for
the wounded.
Minor collisions between the troops
and strikers of whom there are al
most $4,000 still out. are taking place
constantly in St Petersburg. Cossack
patrols are charging and dispensing
workmen whenever they collect. The
most serious affairs occurred at the
Narva Gate and on the Moika Canal
in which fifty persons were killed or
wounded. Automatic guns have been
mounted on the bridge over the Fon>
tanka Canal from which they can
sweep the Nevsky Prospect in either
direction and also both ways of the
canal. The battery is enclosed in a
collapsible shed in order not to attract
too much attention.
Following the example of the au-
thorities at Moscow, about half the
police of ST. Petersburg are now armed
with rifles and the unwonted spec
tacle of policemen with bayonets on
their rifles adds to the public alarm.
1t is reported that the strikers this
afternoon erected barricadeS in the
vicinity of the Narva Gate
Alarming Extension of Strike.
The news from the provinces today
shows an alarming extension of the
strike. Korna, a fortress town OF
Lithuania, having almost 5000 inhab-
itants. seems absolutely i'm the hands
of the Socialists who have summoned
the people to an armed rising, and the
situation is so serious at Krementchug,
South Russit that the governor has
declared martial law.
At Saratoff, in Eastern European
Russia, wholesale arrests have been
made, but the strike is extending. At
kieff serious collisions have taken
place between the troops and strikers,
during which about forty persons were
killed or wounded.
The situation is really far more serl.
Gus in the Baltic provinces, Caucausia,
and other non-Russian provinces,
phere the entire populace is hostile.
In the case of the Baltic privinces it
is realized that it may be necessary
practically to reconquer them. The
first divisions of the first army corps
which belongs to the st. Petersburg
province have begun to arrive here
from Manchuria, but they are being
dispatched to the Baltic provinces
without stopping here.

come into operation, bringing about
half the railroads in Poland to a
standstill.
An open rebellion in Poland would
immensely complicate the situation Tor
the government as, if it should gain
enough headway to warrant reasonable
hope of success it probably would
draw in the entire population and the
government would practically nave to
reconQuer the country.

Phenix City Man Nursing Sore Toe as
 Result.
 Phenix City, May 23.-(SpeciaL)- )-J. L. Mullins, a well-known citizen, is nursing a sore foot as the result of a very vivid dream.
 Saturday night he had some trouble in e1ecting negroes from his saloon. About 5 o'clock Sunday morning he dreamed that he was in the bar again and that in his effort to get one of the negroes out he kicked at him. It must have been a desperate kick, for when MT. Mullins awoke he had landed his foot against the wall by the side of his bed with such force that he has been badly crippled ever since. MT. Mullins states emphatically that his mental . vision is not in che Parker's dream class. MT. Parker, 1t will be recalled his initials are not known to The Ad- vertiser congratulations a lie.
 Mrs. Sarah Dean, aged 66 years, died at her home in this city yesterday af- ternoon. Four sons survive her, two of them, J. and J. D., residing In Mont gomery. The funeral occurred today, conducted by Rev. Hugh Wallace, the interment being at Linwood Cemetery.
 Excitement was caused at the First Baptist Church in this city Sunday night by Albert Abney falling to the floor in an epileptic fit. Quite a mum Der thought that the young man was dead, but he soon revived. and is now completely himself again.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
MUCH MORE ACTIVITY AND FIRMNEss
 IN OPERATIONS,
Close at Best Price of Session and So Far for Upward Movement-Covering, European Buying and Bull
 Support,

New York, May 2s.--After a compara- lively quiet and somewhat irregular morn ing the cotton market became much more active and firmer, closing at about the hest prices of the session and so far for the upward movement.
 The opening was firm at advance of 5410 points on covering. European buying and little bull support based on high cables and continued rains in the belt But there was active selling at the advance fol both accounts apparently, encouraged by expectations of a bearish weekly report at midday and the reports of unsettled condi- tions in Wall Street under which prices worked off to the closing prices of yester- day and then, following the summary of the weekly crop report at midday, broke to a net loss of about 4Q5 points.
 But the details of the report when avail able did not read so favorably as the spm- mary. according to local opinion, and short ly after noon there was a renewal of active bull support which rendered short se.loIs of the earlier session uneasy and working prices upward caught some stop orders with the result that July sold within one point of the eight-cent mark. Toward tho close realizing caused some irregularity, but the market was finally firm at net ad- vance of SG12 points. Sales of futures were estimated at 425.000 bales.

Considerable addition has been made to the department of botany. The total number of volumes in the library is over 18,500. Twelve scholarships averaging $250. each have been estab- lished by the Alumni Society. The illustrations make a good exhibit of the scientific department of the college.

COURT AT JASPER.
Judge AlstOn Has About Completed His
 Work.

Jasper, May 23.-(Special.)-The ad- 1ourned term of Circuit Court, which Is being held by Judge A. H. Alston, the State supernumery judge, will conn plete it's business this week. Judge Aston has practically cleared the docket, which was unusually large, due to the failure of the fourteenth circuit act to stand the constitutional test. The adjourned term was or dered for ten weeks, and this week will complete the seventh week. As there are left on the dockets only a few trivial cases that could be tried in the adjourned term, Judge Aston has decided that 1t would not be good policy to continue the term further. at the great expense that 1t would neces- sarily incur.
 Solicitor John Mcqueen has made a great record as prosecuting attorney, winning over ninety per cent of the cases tried. During the three weeks devoted to the criminal docket he has lost only three cases, one of which was a capital case. It Is contended by attorneys here that this Is a State record. and that no solicitor that has ever prosecuted in Walker county has been so successful.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, May 2S.--Reports of rapid ce- terioration in the condition of all winter wheat pit today. July closed 1%c higher: corn Is up hc, oats Ac advance and pro- visions unchanged to 5c lower.
 Strength in wheat came after a rather weak undertone at the start. Influenced hy lower prices at Liverpool, the market fere showed slight losses at the opening, July fact that weather throughout the West and Southwest much improved helped to bring out selling and resulted in decline to SS%c for July Soon, however, there commenced to be received crop reports from many sections of the winter wheat country claiming deterioration in the growing plant: Kansas City and St Louis seemingly Sfed with each other in the dissemination of such reports. The most damage was reported from Kansas where 1t was estimated ssn nat & the els. On May 1 the crop of that State was placed at 95, 900, 900 bushels. That these reports were in the main accepted cor recuy describing the situation was shown by a quick advance in prices. Sentiment became extremely bullish on urgent bid ding by shorts Options were given buoy ancy by the strength of cash -1heat in ali large trading centres At 90%c July reach ed the highest point of the day; During the last half hour portion of the gain was lost in profit taking The market, how ever, closed strong with July at Sshc.
 Sentiment in the corn market was oullish greatly aided the bulls was the strength Of wheat. Another influence was the weather bureau report which claimed much replant- ing of corn. Extremely liberal receipts had a depressing effect at the start. but firm tone soon developed. July opened a shade lower at 47N e 4Sc, sold between 47Nc and 4SKc and closed at Hhc.
 Notwithstanding strength of wheat and corn, oats were quite weak early. Liberal receipts formed the principal reason for the easier undertone. The weather bureau re port was bearish. Later shorts covered freely, causing a recovery, the market clos ing firm July opened kc lower at 2s1Ac sold up to soc and closed at 29Nc.
 Realizing by packers caused easier tone in provisions. A declining tendency checked by the strength of wheat and corn. July pork closed Sc lower at s12. .57h; lsrd Sc down at $7.30 and ribs unchanged at $7.25Q7.27h.
