REVOLT IS CRUsHED
According to Government Version Of
the Moscow Situation.

st. Petersburg, Dec. %, 1880 p. m.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press at Moscow telegraphs that the
scattered reVoluuOnis1S there are only
able to keep UP a feeble show of re-
sistance to the troops and the work
mems council, realizing that the re-
volt is crushed, is negotiating terms
for the strikers who participated in
the uprising with the view of calling
off the strike on Monday. Neverthe-
less the radical papers of st. Peters,
burg continue to infiame their readers
with stories of desperate lighting in
the streets of Moscow, reporting the
reVOluuOnlStS as being in complete
possession of three square miles of
the city, which the troops with their
machine guns are unable to pierce.
These papers print columns of de-
ScriptiVe matter representing the revo-
Iutionists fighting valiantly behind
Darrlcades, standing on heaps of
corpses of their comrades. The Molva
prints an interview with a student
who has arrived here from Moscow in
which the student says that horror of
the sights he witnessed was driving
him insane and he was forced to flee
1t seems established that some
members of the fighting organizations
of the German and other foreign So
cIallStS have come to Russia to in
struct the revOlutionists in the use of
arms. the art of constructing barri-
cades and the manufacture of bombs
AIhOugh 1t is now only a question of
time when the flames of oDen revolt
will be extinguished the Moscow revo-
IuuOniStS have made good use of their
instruction to start fires elsewhere.
For the first time the provinces east
of Moscow in the heart of Great Rus
sia are affected. At ZlatOs, a town in
the government Oofa where a large
government arms factory is situated
the Workmen seem to be in complete
possession of the town. They have

have declared a republic and all the
authorities have been made captives
and are threatened with instant death
If troops are sent to ZlatOS. In addi-
ton the workmen have organized
themselves into a small army and
band of music playing the ''Narseil-
laise." Here, too, German socialists
have appeared. At SaInora near Nizhni
Novgorod, also a large manufacture
ing town, 20, 600 WOrkmen rose and at
tempted to march on Niszhni Nov
gorOd. but were met by troops with
artillery and were routed with the loss
of several score of men,
Eventually the wOrknen were driven
back to SamOra where they erected bar
ricades which the artillery have been
firing at for two days. The Workmen
used bombs freely at Samora, which is
now separated from Nizhni Novgorod
but rising is expected at the latter
place which has about $4,000 inhabitants
At VerOneSh, South Russia. the work
men decided in favor of an armed revo-
luton, but the authorities succeeded in
arresting II of the ringleaders where
upon the revolutionists halted three
train loads Of sailors on the reserve who
were on their way to the far east. The
latter responded to the appeals of the
workingmen, promptly joined them,
marched into the town and aided in the
liberation of the prisoners.

OAKLAND MAY ENJOIN TOPEKA.
Doesn't Want This City to Get Heery
and Norton Additions.

Injunction proceedings to enjoin the
Topeka city council from taking in the
Heery and Norton additions into the city
may be instituted by J. S. Branaman,
city attorney of Oakland.
Oakland has cast eyes upon the two
additions and wants them. The residents
in the two additions don't want to come
into Oakland because the city Of Oak
land IS $500 in debt with no money in
the treasury and evidences that this debt
VIII be increased, they want to come into
the city of Topeka. They have therefore
enJolned the city Of Oakland from pub
fishing the ordinance which was passed
by the Oakland city council taking in
the two territories and the matter is
now up in the district court. In the
meantime the Topeka city council is
trying to steal a march on Oakland by
taking in the two additions while the
matter is hung up in the district court.
Mr.. Branaman will attend the council
meeting which has been called for this
evening to consider the taking in of the
above tracts of land

ABOUT PASSES.
Railroads Should Pay for Adver-
tising, Publishers for Tickets.
The Pittsburg Newspapers Take
Rather Drastic Action.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 29.-The Penn
sylvania railroad has placed newspa-
pers in the same list with politicians,
so far as passes and transportation are
concerned. Officials of the PennsyI-
vania have ordered that after January
all newspaper advertising shall be paid
for in cash and no transportation shall
be given in lieu of advertising. The
Pittsburg Newspaper Publishers asso-
citation acted yesterday ON the PROPOSE
ton as follows: It was decided that
hereafter no railroad official of the
Pennsylvania railroad shall receive ia
vorable mention in the daily papers.
Railroad news must be restricted to re-
ports of wrecks and such news as will
benefit the public.
In handling all news the copy must
be edited so as to eliminate all favor
able mention of the railroads, but,
whenever possible, the news must be
so written that the public side alone
is printed.
The Baltimore & Ohio and other
lines centering here have not taken any
action as to cutting off the the trans
portation of newspapers and are hold
ing the action under advisement. The
experiment on the Pennsylvania is be-
ing watched by every railroad in the
country.

MERCURY TAKES A DROP.
Goes Down to 25 Degrees This
Morning.

The mercury took a drop Of eight
degrees during the last twenty-four
hours and the early morning pedes-
trian found plenty of incentive to step
lively. The thermometers record the
fact that at o'clock this morning the
mercury was seven degrees below
the freezing point which is far from
comfortable when the exposed portions
OF the human anatomy are considered.
The temperature has steadily risen
since early morning until at the noon
hour it is one degree higher than it
was at the same hour yesterday and
the frost of the early morning seems to
have entirely left the air.
The eight-mile an hour wind which is
blowing from the west is really COM
forting for there is just enough fresh
ness in it to be bracing without be-
ing chilling. The sky is as clear and
blue as the ocean in its deepness and
there is not even an island of clouds to
break the spell of its vastness.
The same fair sky with but little
change if any in the temperature is
promised for tonight and Saturday.
The hourly temperatures for today

DUE TO WRECKERS.
verdict of Coroner's Jury Concerning
Lang Wreck.

Word was received from Emporia
TINS morning at the offices of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
company that the cOrOner's i11r-v
which has been inquiring into the de-
railment of train No. IL near Lang on
December 19, concluded its labors last
night and returned a verdict to the eff
fect that the train was derailed
through the efforts of some malicious
person, or persons, to the jury un-
known.
J. D. NJ. Hamilton, claims attorney
for the company, who took part in the
examination of the witnesses before
the cOrOner'S jury, said today that the
verdict of the jury was in conformity
with the evidence which had been
adduced at the inquest and that it ex-
onerated the company from any blame
for the accident.
''The investigation of the Jury" said
Mr.. Hamilton. twas a most painstak-
ing one. A large number of witnesses,
including passengers on the train, resi-
dents in the locality of the wreck, and
employees OF the road, We're examined,
and the evidence given by these wit
nesses showed cOnclusively that the
track had been tampered with.
Evidence was developed that a
wrench, which was found near the
track, and which had evidently been
used in loosening the bolts, had been
taken from a tool house in the nearby
vicinity. A claw bar from this tool
house is missing also. The ties showed
where indentures had been made by
the claw bar in removing the spikes,
and these spikes showed fresh scrap
ings around their tops. which had been
made when they were removed. There
was no doubt in our minds but that
the derailment was the work of wreck
ers and the coroner's jury has en-
phatically expressed the same opin-
ion
H. H. German, chief special agent
of the Santa Fe, and a, number of his
detectives are still working in the
vicinity of the wreck hunting for clues
and following the ones in their posses
sion, but no word has been received
from Mr.. German or any of his assist
ants that they have made any decided
progress in running to earth those
who may be guilty of causing the dis
aster which resulted in the death OF
Engineer Harry Davis of Topeka and
Express Messenger Elmer Derrick OF
Kansas City.
