PUTTING DOWN REBELLION.
Villages in Courland Are shelled b.
Artillery.

Riga, Livonia, Jan. 6.-The energetic
manner In which General Sollugub
has inaugurated his governor general
ship is reassuring the German resi-.
dents somewhat and there is less talk
of e'andoning their property interests
In the Baltic provinces. A gradual
resumption of railroad traffic is in
progress. Two trains are sent from
Riga daily. Governor General Solo
CUB has announced that he is willing
to accede to the economic demands OF
the railroad employees, but he abso
lutely refuses to consider any political
demands The railroad men who have
been obstructing traffic are being ar,
rested as fast as found. Among them
is the assistant stationmaster. The
revolutionists during the day killed
two more policemen here in broad day
light, making the number for the last
three months twenty-eight.
The devastation of estates by the
peasants in Esthonia proceeds furi.
ously. The authorities are dispatch.
ing military expeditions with artillery
in all directions. In Courland no
mercy is shown where revolutionary
bands refuse to surrender. The troops
shell the towns and villages. Several
of the latter have been set on fire and
completely destroyed.

FEARED RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
is CARRYING POLICY OF RE-
PRESTON TOO FAR.
ARTILLERY fEPL0YED keRCIlEsSLy
INTOLERAELE SYSTEM OF PER.
SONAl. ESPIONAGE PRACTI-
cALLY RESTORED.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 6.-The govern.
ment's victory over the revolutionists
has been quite decisive, although open
revolt continues in many places In
the interior. Artillery is employed
mercilessly and the movement Is grad
ually being stified. These fires OF re-
volt, however, are smothered but are
not extinguished and the main fear is
that the government, encouraged by
success, will fall into the very error OF
which the revolutionists were guilty
and attempt to press It's advantage too
far. Already there are signs that the
policy of repression may be carried to
a point which is sure to again arouse
the resentment and discomfort of the
classes which shrank from the violent
programme of the reds" In st. Pc
tersburg, for instance, the wholesale
perqusitions of the police have been
succeeded by a particularly offensive
measure of the prefect of police which
practically gives the house porters
Tree mana W StdItl private ioa5ii5"
for arms and suspicious persons for
documents, offering them a premium
of so cents for the discovery of every
revolver or bomb and 25 cents for
knife. Such a measure naturally will
arouse the cupidity of the house por'
ters and restore the intolerable sys.
tenn of personal espionage which was
in vogue at the time of the late In
terror Minister Won Plehve.
Two wings of the Social Democratic
party have now Joined the workn ms
organization in declaring that they
will boycott the elections to the ma.
tional assembly. The Social Demo
Gratis have adopted series of raso-
lutions instructing the members of so
cialist organizations not to participate
in the police elections" but to take
every advantage Of such freedom OF
meeting as may be allowed them to
discuss the elections and preach the
extension of the doctrine of armed
revolt for the purpose of completely
overthrowing the present government" ;"

witness said:
"By advice of counsel I decline to
answer"
What was your next employment? p
was next asked.
.'The Standard Oil company OF In
diana objects to the question:, said
Mr.. HageTman.
Mr. Bedford refused to answer on
advice of counsel.
Have you any personal objection
to disclosing what your business was

Counsel objected and Mr.. Bedford
refused to answer.
when did you first become con-
nected with any Standard Oil COM
pany?"
Here Mr.. Rowe objected and wanted
his objection noted on the record, but
Commissioner Sanborn refused.
"You have no standing here" said
Commissioner Sanborn.
81 am sorry that the ignorance Of
the commissioner prevents my ap-
pearance here" said Mr.. Rowe.
Il insist that you treat me with re-
spect or leave the room," replied Mr..
Sanbcrn with warmth.
The hearing proceeded very slowly
owing to the fact that the testimony
was taken down In longhand by the
commissioner. This was done at the
request of one of the Standard OIL
lawyers. Attorney General Hadley
agreed to this method, saying that he
could stay as long at the hearing AS
any one.

MAKING LITTLE HEAOWAY
SENATE COMMITTEE UNABLE TO
AGREE ON BILL FOR RATE
REGULATION.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Without taking
up any specific bill the senate commit
tee on interstate commerce devoted
two hours to a discussion Of proposed
railroad rate legislation. 1t was de-
termined practically that the various
pending bills will be taken up In turn.
Senator Newlands' bill will be consid-
cred at the meeting on Jan. IL. 1t Is
not denied by members of the commit
tee that they are as far from report
ing bill as they were before the hear
ings held during the summer and that
the many measures proposed render 1t
extremely difficult to have a harmoni-
GUS discussion of any measure.
After the session OF the committee
Senators Dolliver and Tillman con.
ferred for more than an hour. the
Dolliver bill Is regarded as measure
likely to draw administration support
and the author, therefore, is making
an earnest effort to shape 1t so that 1t
will command some aid from the Dem
ocratic senators. AS party the minor
ity will support rate regulating legis-
lation, but the members are not In
greater harmony than the Republicans
as to the bill they would favor. Ap-
parently Senator Dolliver is the only
member of the senate committee con-
Quoting campaign for support OF his
measure. If he can get assurances OF
Democratic endorsement 1t Is said he
will urge an early report from the
committee and, failing in this, will
contest on the floor of the senate for
recognition of his measure.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Debate on the
Philippine tariff bill was continued In
the house during the day. MIR. Clark
(Mo.) opened the discussion with a
general speech devoted in particular
to the German tariff situation. He
prefaced this with brief reference to
the bill under consideration. Speak

gressional district represented by Mr.

Stating the Democratic position on
the bill he said his party would vote
for it, although in committee the
Democrats had voted against it simply
because the Democratic substitute for
absolute free trade had not been sup
ported by the Republicans.

HEPRURN'S BILL FAVORED.
Will Form Basis Of Action by House
Committee.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Friday, Jan.
IL, has been agreed upon by the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce as the date for the consid-
Grafton of the general subject OF rate
legislation. Nearly twenty bills are in
the hands of the committee, but it is
now regarded as likely that Chairman
Hepburn's measure will form the OASIS
for any action by the committee.
The committee fixed Tuesday, Jan.
30, as the date for hearing on the
Stephens bill. which provides for the
extension from twenty eight to forty
hours as the time that cattle may be
allowed to remain In cars. Various
humane organizations oppose the ex-
tension of time and Western cattle In
terests favor 1t.

who attended the hearing before Fred

sioner appointed by Governor Folk OF
Missouri to take evidence in two suits
brought by the state OF missouri
against the Standard Oil company and
companies alleged to be allied with 1t.
Il. T. Bedford, a director OF the Stand
ard Oil company, was the first wit
ness. Herbert S. Hadley, attorney
general of Missouri, conducted the
case for that state.
The evidence was taken for use In
two suits which have been brought by
the state of Missouri. In one of these
suits the state seeks to bar the Stand.
ard Oil company Of Indiana, branch
OF the Standard Oil company, which
transacts its business west Of the Ohio
river, from doing business In Missouri.
This action also aims to exclude the
Waters-Piercs Oil company and the
Republic OIL company from transact
ing business in Missouri
In the other action the state aims
to prevent the three companies named
from carrying out the terms of an
alleged pooling agreement by which 1t
: Is charged that the business of their
competitors is crushed.

Mr.. Bedford said he has been en-
gagged in the business of refining oil
since 1870 and was formerly with Boyd

Attorney General Hadley insisted on
the question being answered. William

instructed the witness not to answer,
but Mr.. Hadley said the witness had
no right of counsel. The commissioner
directed Mr.. Bedford to answer. but
