FIFTY MILLIONS FOR GEAR.
Finance Minister kokovsoff Secures
French Loan.

French Loan.
Confirmation has been received Of
the report that former Finance Min
lister Kokovsoff has been partially sue
cessful in his mission to Paris. A
credit of 100000 has been obtained
from the French bankers, with the as
surance Of an increased amount should
it prove necessary to maintain the sta
bility of the rouble.
1t is explained, however, that the
credit is not in the nature of loan
to the Russian government, but is
strictly an operation between the state
bank of Russia and the French banks
whereby the sum stated is placed to
the credit of the state bank as an ad-
vance pending the time when the gov
eminent can contract a regular loan.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 16.-Though

the railroads in the Caucasus, official
advices received show that the noun
taineers are under arms in large Sec
lions of the viceroyalty. The govern
ment of Kutais is entirely in the hands
of insurgents, who have inteidicted
taxes and are levying their own import
duties.
The reduction of the inaccessible
districts of Gori and Osurgeti, whose
mountain strorgholds with their fierce
warriors have been the despair of all
conquerers, will involve a campaign
of weeks and even months with the CO.
operation of mountain artillery, in
comparison with which the operations
are chiid's play.
The troops in the Caucasus being in
adequate, the government has decided
to send large force composed of the
veterans returning from Manchuria,
perhaps seven army corps.
No figures regarding the force now
in Manchuria have been given out, but
the inclusion in the budget of an esti'
mate of $40, 200, 900 for the construct
ion of barracks for these troops gives
some indication of their strength.

Shot HIM five Times
TRAGEDY in THE BEAR" ST.
PETERSBURG RESTAURANT.
The Great Crowd Was Celebrating
New Years Cominq-Student Davi-
doff Refused to Rise When National
Anthem was Played by Band and
Count Sherometieff Killed Him.

st. Petersburg Jan. 15.-A tragedy
in which a student paid with his life
the penalty of refusing to do honor
to the old regime took place in the
famous restaurant 1.-THE Bear" shortly
after midnight. The annual ceremony
of watching the old year out was be-
ing observed with something like the
old time festivities. The great hall
was crowded, and the orchestra of
Mile. Rigo, sister of the paramour
of the Princess Chimay, upon the
stroke Of midnight, burst forth with
God Save the Emperor"
The guests, with the exception of
student named Davidoff, member
of an aristocratic family, rose to their
| feet and demanded an encore, deter
mined to turn the celebration into a
| loyalist demonstration.
Count Sherometieff, a relative of the
notorious Moscow reactionary, applied
an epithet to Davidoff for refusing to
encore the national anthem, and pull
ed his chair from under him.
Hot words followed, when suddenly
in the midst of the joyous reclamation
of new year, the guests were startled
by five shots in rapid succession and
the corpse of the student lay on the
floor. Indescribable confusion follow
ed.
Count Sherometieff, in addition to
killing Davidoff wounded two women.
Three companions of Davidoff, arm
ed with champagns bottles, attacked
the murderer, who, with blood stream
ing down his face, managed to fight
his way to the door. Women Shrek
ed and tainted.
The confusion eliminated in a won
, derful dramatic controversy across the
body of the dead student. The impas-
stoned spectators of the tragedy hav'
ing ranged themselves according to
their political opinions on either side
of it, elimination and recrimination fol
lowed each other hotly. A well known
, courtesan, her head proudly in the air
stamped her foot as from the side O
