RUMoRS SET AFLOAT.
"Reds" Say Government Is Plotting
Massacre of Jews.

st. Petersburg. Dec. %. ESQ p. M
Peter Strive, editor of the Osvobojde-
ME Emancipation, who has again
shifted his position, publishes a ringing
article this afternoon in which he ad-
mits the defeat Of the attempt aimed
at the overthrow of the government.
He says the attempt, OF course, was
madness and was bound TO be eXtin-
guished in blood. Nevertheless, he al
leges, there was a heroic spirit behind
# which should terrify the government.
Another such victory and the govern
ment is lost" says NJ Strive, who in
conclusion summons all the forces OF
emancipation to bury their discussions
and 10 unite in final struggle.
The report that Lieutenant General
Mistchenko has been wounded is not
true.
The League of Leagues has split. one
portion favoring a continuance of the
, strike and another the abandonment of
violent tactics and cooperation in
peaceful preparation for the work OF
the dOuma.
With the evident object OF inflaming
sentiment abroad. the revolutionary
agents are putting out a story to the
effect that the government is deliber-
ately plotting a general massacre of
Jews. These agents display what pur-
ports to be the text of an appeal by a
rabbi addresse- 10 the Jews TO fight
against the cross. which they declare
is being printed by the ministry of
marine for distribution among the ig-
nOrant classes. with the object of pro-
ducing a concerted attack. InVestlga-
ton fails to substantiate the charge
that the government is favoring any
such document.
There was a slight relapse on the
bourse today. Imperial As were quoted

The building was then occupied by
the troops. Cossacks and dragons are
constantly gallOping through the
streets, dispensing crowds wherever
they are gathered. The dragons es-
pecially seem to be furious. and are
shooting and striking everywhere
about them. This action is probably
in revenge for the treatment OF their
comrades at Tukum and Talsen.

sion. The freight rates We're paid, ii is
declared in the indictment, according
to the tariff, but afterward a rebate of
about 80 per cent was allowed to the
shippers. In all cases the United States

cipient of the money according to the
indictment.

States Steel company; j. L. Moore, for
eign traffic agent for the Burlington
road. and G. w. Perry, freight claim
