NOT TO HANG GoRkY.

Losing His Head.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 81 The report
that Maxim Gorky may be hanged for

Z County, Nearing End at Montezums
Evidence All In and the Arguments
Beuun,

Special TO Times-Republican.
Montezuma, Jan. 81. The evidence
in the second trial of George Mitchell
for the murder of John Parker was
completed this forenoon and the argu-
ments were begun today. The case is
not attracting as much attention as the
first trial, owing to the fact that the
evidence is already a repetition OF
that given at the first hearing, when
the jury failed to agree. 1t is believed
that the case will go to the jury some
time tomorrow

ST. Petersburg, Jan. 81. - The Asso-
ciated Press telegrams from Manchuria
do not Indicate developments of i'm
portance since Grippenburg's order to
abandon the advance. The Japs yes
terday made demonstration in the
eastern district, but apparently it was
not serious. Operations on the Russian
right will probably not occasion fur
ther heavy fighting at present, unless
the Japs determine to follow up their
counter offensive movement, which is
not likely in view of the dispatches
from Mukden saying the cold is more
intense, thus rendering the movements
of large bodies on either side we'll nigh
impossible. One result of the bitter
cold has been to greatly increase the
mortality among the wounded. Mill
.tary critics do not express approval OF
Kuropatkin's offensive, Novo Vremya
declaring it was q failure, Russ saying
II was neither a reconnaissance In
force nor demonstration, hence it
could only have been undertaken to
capture a strategical point, and this
object was not justified by. the events.

st, Petersburg, Jan. 81. - The latest
reports from Warsaw depict the situa-
ton thruout Poland as increasingly
serious Minor collisions between the
troops and police and populace con-
tinue to swell the number of dead.
Trade and industry are completely at
q standstill. and the presence of thou
sands of idle workmen who are starv-
ing and desperate adds a factor OF
greatest danger which is not present to
the same extent in ST. Petersburg,
where government orders for war pur-
noses have kept the factories busy.
American Vice Consul Fouchas at
Warsaw telegraphs that many stores,
chiefly Russian, have been pillaged by
nobs and the shops and factorles'
without exception, closed. A general
s+rike is in effect. Those who are not
willing to walk out are compelled 10
ioin the strike by threats. Fouchas
saw no Improvement in the situation
nm to last night, and reported receipt
Of bad news from Lodz and RADON.
II &c estimated the number OF killed
or wounded at Warsaw is about one
hundred, which is a conservative es-
innate.
Rioting in Poland will largely AFFECT
.i% The FACTORIES
at Warsaw, Lodz, Petrokoff and other
industrial centers of Poland have been
compelled gradually to reduce their
output and decrease their working
forces since the outbreak Of the war,
which has almost entirely closed ST.
berian and Manchurian markets. The
result has been thousands Of workmen
were thrown out of employment for
many months, furnishing horde OF
hungry, dissatisfied and desperate men
among whom the news from st. Pc
tersburg produced an outburst of riot
Gus and incendiary spirit. 1t is feared
a large proportion of these thousands
NAV be utilized by the revolutionary
organizations in Poland, which is the
hotbed of socialism, and the movement
may develop purely political char
acter, tho there is no indication 50 far
of any cooperation on the part of the
intelligent classes, Polish population or
which are averse to revolutionary
movement.
