Moscow, Dec. 30.-In view Of the
fact that Governor General Doubas-
soft refused to- negotiate with the
strike committee, which sought to OBJ
tain free pardon for the participants
in the uprising, the leaders Of the
fighting organizations, encouraged by
the failure of the troops to occupy or
destroy the barricades in the north
west section of the city, decided to
continue the struggle aud the revolu-
tionists are again in possession of their
old strongholds in the Brunnaia quar-
ter. The governor general is evidently
waiting until he has sufficient troops
to hold the disturbed region, when it
will be cleared. = s,.
Nevertheless, the work of roofing
out the revolutionists will be difficult
and perhaps costly, as the tactics of
the revolutionists are not to fight in
the open, but to defend the barricades,
which are used to impede the move
ment of troops, while from the adjoin-
ing houses little groups in ambush
shoot at the soldiers and throw
bombs. The maze of narrow, crooked
streets and the hilly nature of the
ground make it practically impossible
to use artillery effectively and even
tually will compel the troops to clear
the region by moving from house to
house. The region covers several
square miles between the river and
Tverskaia and is hemmed by troops.
whose lines cut off the revolutionists
from the Brest railroad on the east.
The troops occupy ridge along the

The police continue to make domi-
ciliary visits at night and have seized

 Editor Kelly of the Review has the iaugh on the members of. the legal traternity of Bisbee who wanted to punish him for saying some plain things about some of the members of the profession. Look out for those -elf-styled lawyers who are afraid of newspapers. They will seldom do to trust as legal advisers. A good law. yer. like any good citizen, is not afraid of criticism. It is the question able professional man who fears the calcium light of the press. They real. ize the fact that light will expose their shortcomings. Hence the effort to silence the press. A fearless press is the most valuable. asset of any com munity. Such journals should be sus- tained and upheld by the peopie-as the defenders of their rights and as protectors of their interests from the questionable practices of unscrupu. lous individuals of every class and profession. The press of Arizona is amply able to protect itself as well as the community which sustains it, Tucson Star.

The statehood bill still hangs ir the conference committee. All the minor amendments have been agreed upon, and it now remains for the con ferees to take up the matter of exclud ing Arizona and New Mexico from the bill entirely or the adoption of the Foraker amendment, which would give to Arizona the right to say whether she will accept joint statehood. Ari. zona will vote down the infamous pro, position by majority which will be decisive enough to convince President Roosevelt and the country that those who have been talking about the peo- pie of Arizona being willing to accept the joint statehood bill have misrep- resented the sentiment of this terri tory. Let the statehood bill come, with the Foraker amendment. and Ari- zona will be perfectly able to take care of herself.

TARIFF FIGHT. LOOMING UP,

The proposition to remove the duty cn steel which may be imported to be used in the rebuilding of San Francis co promises to precipitate tariff dis cussion in Congress which will be edi- flying to the people of the country.
 Confronted with the naked question, Shall the steel trust be allowed to levy s10 per ton tribute oa the fallen city? the stand-patters fear that they cannot continue to successfully assert the sacredness of the Dingley rates.
 Senator Culiom, in the Senate, and Representative Madden, of Illinois, in the House, have sponsored bills re moving the duty for one year. They ague that the American steel mills are already loaded down with orders, and that they will not be able to meet the demands certain to come from San Francisco. Representative s. E. Payne, of New York, chairman of the House committee on ways and means. is inclined to throw cold water on the plan. MT. Payne and his commit tee are stand-patters through and through. They plan to let the public interest in the earfbquake disaster die down before acting. Then it may be possible to slave of the matter till the end of the session. when it would be almost sure to die in the Senate.

The history of criminal libel suits and civil damage suits against news papers is history of failure. This because a newspaper will not knowing ly do any person a wrong. Some times in commenting on matters in which the public is interested it be. comes the duty of a newspaper to severely criticise some one. This Is necessary, that the public may be warned against those who would vio- late the best interests of commu. nifty. A newspaper that would unjust. ly assail worthy man or public off. cial would soon be regarded with the contempt which it would deserve in the community.
