 Being Cleared of Barriers.

Moscow, December S1.-white flags fly ing from a dozen factories and tenement houses of the Presna district which the revolutionaries made their last stand near, bear mute witness to the end of the =.lts- cember uprising" in Moscow The en- tire district is now occupied by troops.
 During the night the vast majority of the members of fighting lionsv either surrendered or after throwing away their arms endeavored to escape In the guise of peaceful citizens. Only the members who acted as guard to the revolutionary committees stuck to their colors, and the surrender of this handful this morn ing furnished the last afct of the sangui- nary disagreement.
 The staging of this last act was admir- able-a snow-covered landscape, the small black residence with a tiny red flag fiut- tering from it's gable, the end of Gorba- tDff bridge. black with the guns of the artillery, and thin encircling line of the Seminovsky regiment of the guard. broken only directly in the line of fire. Suddenly there was a flash of red fire from the mouth of one of the guns. and a solid shot plowed through the walls of the house. A sputtering of shots replied from a window. The cannon spoke again and again until a dozen shots had been fired.
 Looked Like Murder.

 RevoIutlonists Gave Up.
 The Associated Press learns that after the fall of the Proharoff cotton mill, and other factories a council was hastily held at which it was decided that the revolution had failed and an order was given to every man to save himself as best he could. A hundred agreed to hold together so as to keep up a show of fight under cover of which the others could escape.
 After the final surrender the inhabi tants swarmed Into the streets of the district, and in q remarkably short time cleared away the remains of the barri- cades and other Instructions with which for weeks the revolutionaries had block ed this district. This morning a cores pondent of the Association Press found one street where on Friday it was nec- essary to climb over 30 barricades. clear from end to end All these except three which were carried by troops yesterday, were demolished by the inhabitants who were as industrious In tearing them down, as they had been in erecting them.
 Searched by Soldiers.
 As @he correspondent proceeded he was several times searched by soldiers who were lendeavoring to discover revolution ary literature as the best means of iden- tifying the revolutionaries.
