Repetition of Revolt Impossible.

Moscow, January Ex-Governor General Doubassoff said to the Associated Press today:
 q consider a repetition of the recent revolt in Moscow to be impossible. The reds have alienated the sympathy of a large portion of the liberals who have been inclined to look with something more than complacency on the idea of an armed uprising. The events of the last few days have filled them with horror and have driven the liberals and even the radicals to the side of the government which alone Is able to preserve order Most of the ringleaders of the revolt have either been killed or arrested, and practically all the arms they have been accommodating for months have been captured. No matter what the inclination of those still at lib- erty may be, I am convinced that they will not again be able to precipitate a reign of terror
 Whale declining to give details of the losses as his Investigations have not yet been completed, the governor general pointed out that these losses were great ly exaggerated. This,l he said, also ap- piled to the property losses. The only large establishments which had been burn ed were the setin printery which was valued at s5O0,000. the Schmidt furniture factory and part of the Manonloff fac tories. The damage done by shells and shrapnel to the factories and houses could be repaired at comparatively small cost. Most of the houses burned were mex pensive wooden structures. but the heav- dest loss, the governor general said was to the commercial interests which on the eve of the holidays were damaged to the extent of several millions
 The number of persons arrested was large the governor general said, but most of them would be released without ever being put through the formality of a trial. The leaders would be tried by the civil and not by the military tribunals, but the most fragrant offenders. the men who were plainly guilty of treason. which in other countries would be punishable with death would probably get off with terms of im- prisonment at hard labor. such being the mlldness of the Russian law. Attempts at acts of revenge against the police and troops were naturally to be expected and for this reason Governor General Dou- bassoff said his order against the people going on the streets after g o'clock at night would be enforced until the ex- citement subsided.
 Counter Revolution Is Growing.
 Railroad traffic in all directions was resumed today. The people anxious to re- lieve the apprehensions of their rela- lives and friends, crowded in front of telegraph offices today waiting for hours to file dispatches
 Reports are coming in that counter revolution in the outlying districts is growing rapidly, and that the peasants are being summoned to protect the throne and fatherland. A procession of 2GO0 per sons, bearing portraits of the Emperor and the national flags, was formed on the Tversaia this afternoon and marched to the shrine of the Iberian virgin at the entrance of the Kremlin. where the peo- ple knelt and sang God Save the Elm peror."
