London, Dec 29.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent Of the Daily Tele-
graph describes as follows the execu-
ton of the chief of police at Moscow:
"The revolutionists entered the
lodging of the chief Of police at mid
night and told him to bid an eternal
farewell to his family because he was
condemned to die. Finding that it
was no joke, the chief expostulated,
but to no purpose.
Realizing his awful position, he
said farewell to his family and was
hurried into the street and was snos.
His body was left lying in a pool Of
blood"
The same correspondent relates as
follows the terrible operation of the
"vehmgerichte" in Riga:
Persons disappeared mysteriously
and few days afterwards their
bodies were found with identical
marks-four bullet wounds in the
breast, four on the back and the skull
cloven in twain. OF the many brought
before the 'Vehmgerichte' one escaped
death but in so doing he was serious
ly wounded, probably owing to some
interruption of his executioners. This
person says that he was seized and
bound and hurried to the room in
which the tribunal was sitting. Inc
proceedings were brief. He was
condemned to death, carried to the
outskirts of the town, laid fiat on
the ground and shot,"

mrs. FITzSIMMONS
IN DIVORCE COLONY

Sioux Falls, s. D., Dec. 29.-Mrs.
Robert Fitzsimmons is the latest per-
son of national notoriety to become a
member of the Sioux Falls divorce
colony. It was learned that she ar
rived here on Monday Of this week,
but knowledge of her arrival and
presence in this city did not leak out
until yesterday. She has taken
apartments at the Cataract hotel.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons was generally
supposed to be in Europe studying
vocal music This belief that she
was abroad appeared to be confirm
ed by a statement made day or rwv
ago by Major Charles Joseph Sib-
ley Miller, of the Pennsylvania Ma
ticaal Guard, who was about to be
made defendant in an action for
$4,000 for alienation of Mrs. Fitz-
simmons affections, who stated that
he had not seen her since last June,
when he alleged he escorted her to
a steamer at New York and saw ner
safely off for Paris.
Notwithstanding this evident desire
to conceal the whereabouts of Mrs.
Fitzsimmons, there is not the slight
est doubt that she is now in Sioux
Falls and that her object In coming
to South Dakota is to secure a d.
gorce from her prize fighter husband.

SEC. SHAW UPON

Chicago, Dec. 29.-Secretary OF
Treasury Shaw arrived here yester.

John r. Walsh did not take one

than many other bankers in the
United states are doing all the time.
1.-THE rumor OF criminal prosecu-
tion," declared the secretary, "is no
thing but talk. There has been no
embezzlement or theft. For every
dollar taken out giltedged security

will get every dollar they deposited,
and when that has been accomplish

by one bank is no more than has been
done by almost every bank in the
country"

Immediately elsewhere and although
there already is an indication of an

Count White is not so blind as to
believe that the revolution can be

hopes that the moderates of all class

family on the West Side. One of the
sons was caught in snow storm two
years ago, making him an invalid.
Travel had not benefited him and
medicine seemingly had no effect. So,
at the advice of DR.. Lobdell, he was
sent West, where she thought maybe
the fresh air and sunshine would help
him.
The father is stingy. He reckons
with every cent and the doctor some
times has difficulty in collecting bills
1t was only after much insistence that
she got him to buy ticket for his
invalid offspring.
Westward the sick man travelled.
A few days ago the sad intelligence
was telegraphed that he was dead,
and the authorities wished to know

There are about 10000 of them in
each section. They are all armed
with revolvers and rifles. The men

itary patrols are engaged in guerilla
warfare with the revolutionists, who
are seeking refuge on the roofs of
houses and in narrow thoroughfares.

artillery worked at destroying the
barbados. The revolutionists, this
message says, are divided into three
armies" the first, consisting of 800
men armed with rifles and picks, IL

force is operating in the region be-
tween the Sadovia district and the
Jewish market. 1t has many barri-
cades to prevent the passage of
troops and Is operating in small
groups and is attacking patrols. Ar
tillery, cavalry, and infantry are used
against this body. The third and
largest army is operating in the re-
gion between the Brest railroad sta
tlon and the terminal gate. 1t also
has many barricades, and is engaged
