Crushing the Revolution

London, Jan. News has reached
here this morning regarding conditions
10 various Russian cities which have
been storm centres of revolt. Through
out the country discomfort is still smould-
ering, but it is being crushed ont under
the iron heel of the soldiers. The prov
inces, however, are still disturbed. In
the Baltic provinces General Orloff is
slowly making progress against the rev.
olntionists. The Let's, however, are
taking every advantage given them by
their knowledge of the country and
the existence of the forests which offer
shelter for well-armed hands of revo-
lutionists. The work of putting down
the revolt necessarily makes slight head
way under the circumstances.

TUESDAY EVENING. JAN. 2. 1906.
A RoY in Norfolk on SATURDAY. enter.

A BOY in Norfolk on Saturday enter
ed a suit against a merchant in that city
claiming 81 900 damages. The boy,
who is only eleven years old bought from
the merchants store, toy cartridge pis-
tol, with which he shot himself in the
hand, causing such an injury that his
hand had to be cut open at the time, and
will again have to be operatef
upon by the physicians. 1t is charged
that the merchant when arraigned in the
police court upon criminal warrant for
the sale of the pistol to the boy entered
a plea of not guilty, but was fined 500
and costs. He appealed, and in the
Corporation Court entered plea of
guilty, for the purpose of having his fine
reduced to $25 and costs. The sale OF
these toy pistols is prohibited by law and
IN long as the law, which is good one,
is on the statute books, it should be en-
forced. The arrest and conviction OF one
or two yiolators of the law and the en-
forcement of the penalty would effectual-
ly break up the sale of toy pistols.

TOday's Telegraphic News
Car Condemned to Death.

Geneva, Switzerland, Jan. MANY
Russian revolutionary leaders have ar
rived here within the last fortnight From
one Of these refugees the correspondent
of the Publishers Press learns tho details
of a secret meeting held two nights ago
at which the reyolutionists decreed the
death of the Gar and considered other
revolutionary plans. According to these
revolutionary leaders, thirty of the reyo-
lutionists met secretly 10 a deserted iarm-
house on the Franco-Swiss frontier, the
place where the assassination of former
Minister of the Interior Won Plehve was
planned. The meeting began at IL
O'Clock at night, and continued for sew
eral hours. There was a heated discus
sion owing to the fact that some Of the
less militant chiefs offered moderate
counsel and objected to resorting to
drastic and bloody measures. The ma
jority, however, expressed themselves In
favor of meeting force with force, and a
vote of censure vas adopted against one
section of reformers from the large cities
who advised the workmen to give up the
strikes and arrange compromises with
the government. A resolution was final
" adopted to send demand to Premier
White, calling on him to resign and per-
nit the National Douma to begin its
work. The vote to decree the death OF
the Gar was taken after violent debate
and was carried by a large majority.
Amid dead silence, all ofthe chiefs ex-
cept ten signed the death warrant of the
monarch which was similar in terms to
the death sentence decreed against Won
Plehve. A committee of three was then
appointed to act on the instrument for
carrying out the order

British Politics

London, Jan. 2. The new year has
brought the campaign to head and
electioneering throughout the country is
in full progress. The liberals will con-
test for every seat in parliament. The
conservatives are without candidates in
about twenty districts. Just at present
Joseph Chamberlain and former Premier
Balfour are trying to arouse their follow.
ers By playing on their fears that the
liberal government really intends to
support home rule. The liberals are
pressing free trade as the main issue Of
the campaign. The manifesto issued 10y
the Duke of Devonshire, one of the
strongest unionist leaders, supporting
the free traders and ridiculing the home
rule scare is having great deal of in
fuence in the campaign. The dissou-
ton OF Parliament will probably come
on January s. Nominations will be
made Immediately and the frs; elections
in London will be held on January II.
The election promises to be the hottest
political battle waged in England since
