RUSSIA SEES LIGHT AHEAD
GOVERNMENT BELIEVES WORST
is OVER.
Some Semblnnce of Order, II Is Said,
BEING Gradually Restored
In the Empire.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 10.--The success
which thus far has attended the cam
paign against the violent revolutionists
has plainly encouraged the government
to believe that the worst is over for
the winter, except In the Baltic prov
lnces, the Caucasus and the Don region,
where the prevailing anarchy Is likely
to continue indefinitely. Some SEM
bance OF order Is being gradually re-
stored in the empire.
The socialists and revolutionists
stoutly maintain that the present lull Is
only a truce over the holidays and from
myterious hiding places the leaders
continue Issuing orders to refuse all
compromise with Imperialism. to boy
colt the national assembly and to pre-
nare for great armed insurrection.
The government, however, processes to
have confidence that the revolutionists
will not quickly recover the loss OF
strength and prestige which they have
suffered
The members of the government de
clare that the abortlve attempt OF an
armed insurrection performed service
to the country in revealing to the lib
erals Of all shades of opinion the neces-
slty for fighting the violent programme
of the reds" and that henceforth nc
matter how much the liberals oppose
the policy of government, they will bt
found arrayed against the "reds." How
far these calculations Of the govern
ment, based on divisions Of its enemies
will stand the test of events renain
to be seen. as many times heretofore
they have been rudely shattered.

who were not awakened in time to
make their escape by the usual exits.
Mr. Chamberlain gathered bedding and
made a rope. and at the same time the
extension ladders were being placed
into position, but were found too short.
The Dompier ladders were then rushed
10 the scene, and fireman, with rope
about him, firmly placed. scaled the
ladder, to the cheers of thousands of
spectators. Arriving at the window, he
took one after the other, lowered them
safely to the extension ladder, two sto-

where they were brought to safety. I'ne
rescue was accomplished amid death
like silence when the fireman reached
the window. When the last persons
were lowered, and the fireman followed,
the cheering broke loose. 1t was one
of the most thrilling scenes at fire
ever witnessed In this city.
The flames meanwhile had reached
serious proportions, and Chief Canter-

on the sixth floor that the flremen
found veritable charnal house.

It was built by the late Col. John T

investment. Located at Fifth street
and Hennepin avenue, It occupied a
commanding position In the city, and
was regarded as a show place and one

THE DoINos IN CONGRESS
Senator's bacon and Spooner Have
n WOrdy War, Caused BY
Moroccan Affair.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The propriety
OF discussing in open senate resolu-
tiUn introduced by Senator Bacon call,
sEs upon the president for an account
OF his appointment Of delegates to a
proposed conference on Moroccan af-
fairs, to be held by European powers
at Algeciras, Spain, was considered for
four hours, Tuesday, and then, by
strict party vote. it was decided that
the resolution should be executive
business. Senator Bacon, in support
ing his resolution, contended for a pub
lie discussion. and Senator Spooner de-
clared that the adoption OF the reso-
luton would be an encroachment by
the senate upon the constitutional
rights CT the president and would vir-
tually charge him. in a manner,
amounting almost to insult, with ig-
norance Of his duties as chief mag
istrats.
Onense was taken by Senator Bacon
to the remarks of Senator Spooner, the
former declaring emphatically that he
did not purpose to be charged with in
sultlng the president.
Insisting that he could not see the
distinction, Senator Bacon said that If
It would amount to an insult for the
senate to adopt the resolution 1t would
be Just as much so for him to offer it.
'I do not understand your logic" re-
piled Senator Spooner, but If that Is
your conclusion, and you insist upon
constituting your course as an action Of
the senate, OF course can not finch
| from the consequences"
