Warsaw, Dec. 26, IL :15 p. m.-The street rail
road employees struck tonight and the employees
of the steam railroads are expected to follow
suit.

THE REBELS HEMnED IN.
Soldiers DriUe Main Body Into
Strong Intrenchments.

st. Petersburg. Dec. 26, ) p. ma telephone
message just received by The Associated Press
from Moscow says that the fighting in the
streets continued throughout the day, but that
the populace is not taking part in the conflict
and that the troops gradually getting the
upper hand
The soldiers are hemming in the main body
of the insurgents in the quadriIateral near the
Brest Railroad Station bounded by the Tver-
skaia and the Tverskoi. Sadovla and Bronnia
boulevards. In this quadriIateraI the insurgents
have fortified every inch of their lines WITH
felled trees. telegraph poles and streetcars in
front of which they have constructed a network
of entangIements. Artillery is being used mcr-
cilessIy.
Two of the four Grenadier regiments have re-
turned to duty and are fighting on the side of
the government. Troops also have arrived from
st. Petersburg.
The fires which destroyed the Brest Station
and other places last night have been practi-
cally extinguished. and the danger OF the de-
struction of the city by fire seems to be over
for the present.
The WOrkmens Council in st. Petersburg to-
day decided to take the most energetic action
against workmen who refuse to join the strike
Three hundred workmen who were organic
ing red flag procession were arrested
Encounters between workmen and troops have
occurred in various sections of this city.
From the point of view of the government
there was a slight Improvement in the outlook
this afternoon. Notwithstanding the decision
of the Workmen's Council to continue the strike
many of the men broke away. including about
one-third of the employees of the PutiIoff Iron
Works number employed in other factories
and part of the mill men. 1t is evident that the
leaders must precipitate matters or the strike
will go to pieces. From the point of view Of
the leaders all now depends on the situation at
Moscow.

To Probe All Departments.


A sweeping investigation of the
methods of conducting government
business In all departments has been
begun by order of President Roosevelt
under the direction of committee OF
five, as follows: Charles H Keep, as.
sistant secretary of the treasury chair
- T--H- ~ to', 40 -t---
sistant postmaster general; IT1.ehct
| o. Murray, assistant secretary OF com
merce and labor; James r. Garfield
commissioner of corporations, and Gif.
ford Plnchot, forester, department of
agriculture. In a letter to Mr.. Keep
the president outlines the elaborate
scope of the inquiry which is to bring
order. uniformity and utmost economy
into the conduct of public business and
to do away with red tape.
Too Much Silver Coin on Hand.
On account of the large amount of
silver coin in the treasury and the con-
sequent dicontinuance OF silver bullion
consignments to the mint at Philadel-
phia, Superintendent Lands has sus-
pended work IN all departments of the
mint until further notice.
Line Drawn Against Prize Contests.
The postoffice department has order
ed that prize contests cannot be oper-
ated by newspapers or periodicals
through the mails If such contests re-
quire the payment of n consideration
in order to become u contestant. Such
payments are believed to show that
the contests are designed to bolster up
or stimulate some other line of bust
ness. In the latest rulings this pay
ment Of a consideration may be con-
strued as a sum of money, the pur-
chase Of an article, the cutting of a
coupon from an advertisement or any
publication, securing a slip or label or
a subscription to publication. All
publications conducting such contest
or carrying advertisements of such
schemes conducted by others are I'M
mailable. 1t IS also held that all con-
tests in which the winners are to be Sc
lected upon the decision OF some per
son or persons as TO the quality of the
answers are lotteries within the mean
ing of the law, because the award is
dependent upon chance.
Philippine Railway Specifications.
Plans and specifications of the sys-
TEN Of railways which the government
Of the Philippines proposes to construct

OF .239 miles, have been made public

be received only from citizens of the
United States or OF the Philippines.
The motive may be either steam or
as the local government
may decide All bids must be in the
hands of the government ut Manila
on or before Nov. l. Proposals must
be accompanied by check for 100000
on the whole system or half that
amount on any section thereof.

Dartment of commerce and labor d.
