Mr.. Robbins Says That Prohibition
Will Be Overwhelmingly Adopted.

1.-THE gentleman quoted by a morning pa
per as expressing doubt about the people
of the proposed state of Oklahoma accept
ing the constitution with its prohibitory re-
quirement, had not duly digested the mat
ter, In my opinion, remarked Henry p.
Robbins. secretary of the chamber of COM
merce of South McAlester, who has been
here for the past FIVE weeks in the interest
of statehood.
Personally /. believe in local option. for
have concluded. from long residence in
Kansas. that statelprohibition amounts to
local option In thetiast analysis, anyhow.

constitution by an Overwhelming vote. The
country voters ofsSOklahoma proper and
many people In, thBr towns will vote for 1t

will also beIiferninded that if Congress
means business 1t can readily impose pro-
hibition on the territory. an unquestioned
power it has not seen mt to exercise in the

the fact that Indian territory row has 600-
900 white people and not over one-third OF
the so. 600 alleged Indians can be detected
with the naked eye, Congress has shown no
disposition to alter this rigorous statute.

RUuoRS of MUTINY OF THE COSSACK FORCES.

St. Petersburg. Dec. %. 1855 p m-The situa
ton at Moscow tonight is exceedingly critical
A regular battle is raging in the streets OF the
city
A telephone message just received by The AS
sociated Press says that the drumming OF ma
chine guns, volleys by infantry and the booming
of cannon can be heard at intervals. The troops
seem to have the upper hand. although there are
run1ors that the gendarmerie and the CossacFs
have revolted and have refused to fire on the
people.
According to this telephone message. which
was confused, owing TO the excitement
under which the sender was laborins
the revolutionary leaders had given the
signal for an armed rising of the proetariat at
o'clock this evening. but Governor General Dou-
,assorf discovered their plans and acted quickly
He massed twenty-five thousand troops of all
arms in Red Place, under the walls Of the KreH-
lin mounted machine guns in the towers OF the
old Chinese wall. posted artillery at intervals
encfrcling the Tverskaia and placed heavy de-
tacbments of horse and light artillery at strategic
points
The first scene Of butchery occurred at :
o'clock when the troops using the cannon, which
were loaded with grape, fred into a procession
of workrnen carry Ing red flags and singing revo-
Iutionary songs as they swung into the Boule-
ward
Since then there has been almost contlhua'
fighting somewhere in the city. The workmen
tb,a,v no barricades at the Triumphal Arch at
two places in Doitrovsky-st- and at another
riace hut all were assaulted and carried by the
troops.
