GERMANY PREPARES FOR WAR.
Gives Rush Orders for Large Num-
ber Of Cars.

Berlin, Jan. 4.-The railway admin
istration placed orders last week for
20, 900 freight cars, at cost of $780,
900, 900, with manufacturers of five
countries, stipulating delivery by the
middle of February. Besides utilizing
the car works of Germany, the con-
tracts were distributed among makers
in Belgium, Holland, Switzerland and
Italy, which would not have been done
unless some reason for haste exists.
Inquiries made regarding the reasons
for urgency resulted in obtaining the
statement that the ordering of the cars
was precautionary measure, the gen.
.eral staff desiring to be ready to move
troops if necessary by the first of
March This is only proper measure
of prudence, it was arffimed, in view
of the extensive military arrangements
going on in France, which, among
other dispositions, include the move
ment toward the German frontier Of
six regiments of artillery, or $50 guns.

KILLED BY BOMB.
Ex-Governor Steunenberg, Of Idaho.
Victim Of Dastardly Outrage.

Boise, Jan. g. Frank Steunenberg,
ex-governor of the state, was killed
Saturday evening at his home in the
suburbs of Caldwell. A dynamite bomb
had been placed at his front gate with
some contrivance by which it exploded
as he entered. Both legs were blown
off and he lived but 20 minutes.
There is no known reason for the
outrage, but it is charged to some
member of the famous inner circle Of

he prosecuted go releutlessly in 1899,
while he was governor. Governor

NEW MALHEUR, PROJECT IS UP
Valley May Be irrigated, Excluding
Wagon Road Land.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The Reclama-
tion service has not abandoned hope OF
building part of the Malheur irrigation
project in Eastern Oregon. Upon its
recommendation the secretary o! the
interior has withdrawn from entry
about 10000 acres on the Upper NAL
heur river, as follows: Township 81
south, range 36 east, sections 81, %
and "a; township % south, range SO
east, sections 2, 3, IL, ~, l3, IA, %,
80, "a, 25, 26, 81, S5, So; township
% south, range 81 east, sections 80
and 81; township % south, range 36
east, sections l, 2, IL, 10, l3, "a;
township 90 south, range 81 east, sec
tions 5, s, 7, 8, l8, 10.
This withdrawal does not include the
lands embraced in the wagonroad
grant, and it is possible project may
be devised which will enable the gov
eminent to irr gate considerable vacant
public land without waiting for wagon
road landowners to come to time. This
move is being made at the request OF
the Oregon senators, who have twice
conferred with the Reclamation service
in the hope of having something done
on the Malheur project.

ORGANIZATION
St. Petersburg Reds Confess Defeat
by Government.
National Congress Planned and EIab-
crate Details of Battle Against
Government FormuIated-Meetng
Held in Finland Sed Sunday To
Be Day Of Mourning.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 4.-The gen.
.eral meeting of the Workmen's council
and Of representatives of the proletariat
organizations, which was held across
the Finnish border, lasted for 36 hours,
-adjourning only an hour ago. The
practical result of the meeting was a
confession that the government had
proved too strong in it's fight against
the strikers and the proletariat organ
izations, and that it would be neces-
sary to organize on a new basis the
armed revolution, to which the dele
gates to the meeting were committed.
A new Council of Workmen, con-
sisting of $50 members, was elected.
Similar councils will be organized
everywhere, following which general
congress will be elected, and an elab-
.orate plan of battle against the gov
ernment formulated.
Just prior to the adjournment OF the
meeting a resolution was passed to
turn the anniversary of January %
< Red Sunday into day of mourning.
For this purpose an appeal will be
made to the Socialist workmen's organ
izations, both in Europe and the Unit
ed States, to manifest their sympathy
with the Russian revolutionaries by
holding demonstrations on Monday.

AGREE TO STOP REBATES.
Big Three Insurance Companies Will
Make Cleveland Referee.

New York, IAN. 3. - An agreement
to abolish 1ebating on premiums has
been entered into by the New York
Life Insurance company, the Equitable
Life Assurance society and the Mutual
Life Insurance company. Announce
ment was made today that Grover
Cleveland has been been appointed
referee to decide all questions in dis
pute that may arise in such matters
and that his salary will be SIP 900 per
annum, to be paid jointly by the three
companies. Mr.. Cleveland has ac-
cepted with the understanding that
the officers of the three companies are
to second his efforts to stop rebating.
A similar appointment was held by the
late Thomas B. Reed.
Any agent who gives rebates will be
dismissed from the service and will not
be re-employed by any of the COM
panies. 1t is the desire Of the COM
panies to secure the co Or Grafton of all
other life insurance companies to this
agreement. 1t was said today that, if
rebating can be entirely abolished, the
first year premiums can be reduced.

BRITAIN READY TO STRIKE.
Would Have Smashed Rojectvensky if
Togo Had Lost.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 5.-The remark
able allegation that the British fleet
was held in readiness to destroy the
Russian fleet, if the battle OF the Sea Of
Japan had gone in the Russians' favor,
is made by Admiral Rojestvensky in a
letter published in the Novoe Nremya
today with the permission of the min
lister of marine.
Referring to the absolute secrecy Of
Admiral Togo in regard to the disposi-
ton of his forces, Rojestvensky de-
clares that "this was unknown even to
the admiral of the British fleet allied
with the Japanese, who concentrated
his forces at Wei Hal Wei, in expecta-
tion of receiving an order to annihilate
the Russian fleet, if this, the final OBJ
ject OF Great Britain, was beyond the
power OF the Japanese"
From Admiral Rojestvensky's &C
count of his tactics in the battle OF the
Sea OF Japan, the reader is almost
convinced that the Russian commander
outmaneuvered Admiral Togo at every
point, and was himself thu real victor.
He delares he knew Admiral Togo's
exact whereabouts two days before the
battle. made his disposition according
" and entered the fight with his eyes
open.
Mr.. Spring Rice, the British charge
d'affairs, without waiting for instruc-
tions from his government, demanded
an explanation from Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff this afternoon of the state
ments contained in the admiral's letter
to the Novoe NIemya.

SENATOR'S DARE
NOT REVOLT
Break Between President and Con.
gress not Likely.
Two. Thirds of Senate Are Soon to
Be REFLECTED, and Opposition to
Roosevelts Policy Means Political
Death to Many of Them - Com
promise Most Likely.

Washington, Jan. z.-Two-thirds OF
the United States senate will come up
for reelection within the next three
years, and of this total "a are Republi-
cans. This fact is likely TO have con-
siderable influence upon the ultimate
stand taken this winter by the senate
on measures advocated by the president
and endorsed by the people. 1t does
not necessarily mean that the senate
will fall in line and follow the lead of
the president, but it points to such ac-
tion, and the wise observers, after
studying the situation, think they can
see the senate supporting the president
on the large issues now up for consid-
Grafton.
During the first weeks Of the session
it looked very much as if the senate
would take Issue with the president
on many important questions of legis-
lation. There were unpleasant words
regarding the Panama canal; there
were murmurings about the presi-
dents course regarding Santo Domin-
kOJ dhd DChllO ~ OIL ociO

railroad rate policy as outlined in his
message. Many senators have reached
the conclusion that the president ie
recklessly usurping the powers of con-
gress to some extent, and they have dis
played evidence of ugliness on that ac-
count. For time it looked as if there
would be revolt.
But will there bef Rather, will not
the senate fall in line and follow the
lead of the president? 1t is a serious
thing for the party in power to break
with it's president, and such a move is
more apt to injure those senators and
representatives of the insurgent class
than it is to injure the president.
What is more, the party in power must
suffer from any such revolt. These
things are being carefully weighed, and
there are those who now predict that
there will be no break between congress
and the president, unless it may be on
the railroad rate isgue. and even on
that issue compromise is more likely
than an open rupture.

Stevens Will Advise Canal Commis

Washington, Jan. 2.-The Isthmian
Canal commission held short session
today. Chief Engineer Stevens, who
came to Washington to present his
views to the commission on the type
of canal that should be constructed

The experiment proposed for securing

proved.

RENEW WAR ELSEWHERE,
Rebels Say Moscow Revolt Showed
Weakness of Government.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-The Daily News
st. Petersburg correspondent Says:
Revolutionary leaders disclaim the
initiative in the Moscow insurrection
One of them, NJ. Gilliaroff, who has
just returned from that city, reports
to the st. Petersburg committee that
General Doubasoff carried out the mas
sacres upon plans agreed upon by
Count Witte and Minister Durnovo, of
the Interior department. Discovering
that the additions to their pay of 20
or 80 kopecks monthly had not satis-
fled the troops, and that mutinies
were continuing, the government de-
cided that military on interior duty
should receive twelve-fold wages, and
that the police should be given special
rewards. simultaneously the govern
ors and their subordinates were empow-
cred to declare martial law at any time
on their own responsibility. Thus the
whole empire was put in a state of
siege.
Thi. encouraged the police and SOL
diers to provoke riots by attacking
peaceful meetings and bombarding the
buildings. Drunken dragons butch
cred everybody, then the people joined
the revolutionaries and built barri-
cades, and the massacre went on.
The chief of the revolutionaries, M.
Sokoloff, said:
The Moscow demonstration disclosed
the weakness of the government. Dur
ing an entire week cavalry, artillery,
police, reactionary volunteers, generals,
admirals and statesmen failed to over
come a badly armed force of 5000
workmen, while the people remained
neutral. We shall begin again in some
place like Odessa or Kieff, where there
are fewer troops and more workmen,
and where the people sympathize with
us. In the fighting at the Nevsky
works the other day the losses Of the
soldiers were greater than ours. The
fact that the garrisons at Krasnoyarsk
has joined the revolution shows that
the czar's forces are decreasing, while
ours are growing,
