Imperial Guard Revolts?
BERLIN, Dec 4-Couriers who have
arrived at konigsberg from Russia bring
information that the Russian Imperial
guard has reyoited and that the loyalty
of the troops on guard at the palace is
questioned. He adds:
Desperate efforts We're being made by
| the reactionaries and the military at
court TO overthrow Premier White, es-
tablish a dictatorship and meet the revo-
luton with bullets.
Panic Among People.
A panic prevails among the people,
and this in itself furnishes another dan
| ger to the government for the rapid
rate at which money is being withdrawn
from the banks ana sent abroad or hid
i den threatens q financial crash.
Finland is quiet. A new ministry has
taken charge under Premier Salza.
Berlin Bourse Panicky.
BERLIN Dec 4-Prices on the
| bourse today were weak. Russians fell
sharply, but partly recovered. Ameri-
cans We're steady. Russian bonds had
one of the worst days of the year. Enor-
NOUS quantities were thrown upon the
market, apparently at whatever they
would bring. A slight improvement in
the middle of the session proved but
| temporary and the downward course was
soon resumed. The Russian loan of 1905
subscribed for in Germany fell 3 points.
! December bills sold down to 213.25 and
January down to 21012.. Par is ZIG.
Fear is expressed lest the St. Peters
| burg treasury find it necessary to avail
| itself of the resources of the imperial
bank to such an extent as to impair the
gold standard.
