REDS IN BATTLE WITH POLICE
Several Officers Slain In Searching
Houses In st. Petersburg.

Desperate fighting between police
and workmen occurred in the Okhta
quarter Of st. Petersburg Saturday
during domiciliary search. When the
police appeared five workmen who
we're in the building extinguished all
the lights and opened fire. The Of
fcers responded and the fusilade con-
tinued for some time. The workmen
finally retreated after killing two in
spectors and two policemen and
wounding three policemen.
A quantity of firearms was discov-
cred in the house. 1t transpired later
that the five men who fought the po-
lice were leaders of the revolutionary
fighting legion. The information
which led the police to search the
house and attempt their capture was
acquired during the investigation in
to the killing of General Pavloff.
A detachment of police surrounded
the house and had Just broken in the
door, when the revolutionists sudden
| ly fired a volley at them and during
the confusion which followed, made a
| dash for the door and escaped, main
| tanning a running fire for some dis
| lance.
Over 100 arrests have been made ir
connection with the assassination Of
General Pavloff. The capture of 6
clerk belonging to the engineer corp:
was considered to be so important
that an entire company Of infantry
was detailed to make the arrest.

MONTANA ITEMS.

Dispatches from throughout the
state Monday tell of blizzard which
appears to have generally enveloped
the state, raging with great severity
in central portions of Montana. For
the past SO hours Fergus county has
been in the throes of a blizzard, the
merucury dropping as low as 25 be-
low.
Ruby Knaffner, a machinist employ
ed at the Northern Pacific roundhouse
at BoZeman, slipped into a pit of
boiling water recently and was so bad
ly scalded that the flesh fell off his
legs in strips. His recovery is
doubtful.
The worse phase of winter weather
experienced in Montana in years now
prevails. Deep snow and the most
severe weather is delaying trains and
menacing human life in remote set
Elements. Old stockmen say the out
look is more serious for their herds
than at any time since the memorable
winter of 1SS7-SS, when the losses
were extremely heavy.

TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.
Sentiment in the Nation Said to Be
Slowly CrystaIIizing.

There is slowly crystallinzing SEN
timent in favor of convention to be
held to amend the constitution of the
United States. The sentiment is not
restricted to any one particular local
ity, but it seems is taking root pretty
generally. 1t is the consensus OF opin-
ion in these circles that the highly de-
veloped and complex civilization OF the
country presents problems that de-
serve the attention of the mater minds
Of the nation at this time.
The list of topics which has formed
the basis of suggested constitutional
amendments in the past need not be
rehearsed here in detail. 1t is long
list and includes many topics which
would not be likely to receive serious
consideration.
Some of the most important matters
which would come before the con-
vention, however, would be as fol
lows:
Enlarging the presidential term to
six years and making the president
ineligible for reelection.
Uniform marriage and divorce laws
throughout the union.
Election of United States senators
| by the direct vote of the people.
Female suffrage.
Providing for the immediate assem-
bling Of congress after election.
Changing the date of inauguration
day
| Authorizing the president to veto
single items in appropriation bills.
| Restricting the veto power of the
president so that it will be less diff
cult for congress to pass any measure
over his veto.
To decline more clearly the jurisdic
| ton of the courts in their relation tt
the legislative branch of the govern
ment.
These are few of the topics which
have been suggested as affording
reason why a constitutional conven
ton should be called. Many other
would doubtless be considered.
