Favors Retaliation,

London, Jan. 8.-The Morning Post
in long article discussing the fiscal
question points out that retaliation
alone will be practically useless
weapon against the United States and
other protectionist countries. To be
effective, the paper says, retaliation
must be combined with colonial pref

Canada a 50-cent duty on foreign
wheat would turn every wheat grower
in the western part of the United

Famous Volcano in Eruption-Magni-

Naples. Italy, Jan. 10.-There was a
sudden eruption of Mount Vesuvius
Tuesday and the resultant scene Of
picturesque magnificence was wit.
messed by thousands of tourists, in.
GLIDING many Americans. Three
streams of lava reached the lower sta.
tion of the Funicular railroad, caus.
ing serious damage. There are indi.
cations that the activity of the vol.

thought to be connected with that of
Mount Etna, in Sicily, which is in a
state of activity without precedent
since the eruption of 1899. Mount
Etna is now ejecting red ashes, which
form an immense cone over the crater.
These ashes are in striking contrast

Billion Dollars.

Berlin, Jan. s. Prof. MiQuelin. the
eminent Russian statistician, calculates
the cost of the rebellion in Russia to
December 81 as follows:

factories, robberies in towns and vii
lagos and loss of war material-$1S5,-
100000.
Second, indirect losses, including loss
the state railways have incurred, loss
of wages caused by strikes, flight from
the capital to foreign countries and

Third, depreciation in state bonds and
other values-$5OO O00, 900.

St. Petersburg. Jan. 10.-The success
which thus far has attended the cam
paign against the violent revolution
lists has plainly encouraged the govern
ment to believe that the worst is over
for the winter except in the Baltic
provinces, the Caucasus and the Don
region, where the prevailing anarchy
is likely to continue indefinitely. Some
semblance of order is being gradually
restored in the empire. The socialists
and revolutionists stoutly maintain
that the present lull is only truce
over the holidays, and from mysteri-
GUS hiding places the leaders continue
issuing orders to refuse all compro-
mise with Imperialism, to boycott the
national assembly and to prepare for
| great armed Instruction. The gov
eminent, however, processes confidence
that the revolutionists will not quickly
recover the loss of strength and pres
tige which they have suffered. Disor-
ders on small scale and acts of ter
rorism are expected to continue, and
| something in the nature of a general
demonstration Is anticipated January
%. but great uprising in the immedi-
ate future is regarded in government
| circles as impossible. The next real
crisis is not expected until the national
assembly meets or the spring sets the
peasants in motion.
