More Than q Hundred Leaders
are Captured and I'm
prisoned.
rERRORSTs ALSO ARRESTED
Russian Police Declare They Found a
List Of High Officials Who Were
Sentenced to be Assassinated
by Extremist Party.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 31.-Acting
on information furnished by traitor
to the police during the last few days
the police captured more than 100
leaders and members of the ST. Pc
tersburg military organization of the
Social Democrats who were carrying
on propaganda among the army and
navy. Among those taken into GUS
tody was the editor Of secretly pub
lished paper entitled the Barracks, and
% soldiers and several women. The
police Also arrested many members of
an important group Of Terroristic So
cial Revolutionists, and captured. ac-
cording to report, list
or twenty-seven high officials who
had been sentenced to death. Finally,
1t Is asserted, the police accidentally
obtained information which frustrat-
ed a plot to blow up number of
persons at a conference which was
to be held in the future.
The recent arrests of members of
the military organization which was
responsible for the Sveaborg and
Cronstadt outbreaks and the mutinies
on board warships of the Baltic
squadron in August last have been
reported from various places in the
interior, notably at Moscow, to which
city the central committee was trans
ferred after the police had twice
broken up the headquarters at Wilma.
Six officers, including Colonel Klopoff.
who had distinguished themselves in
their respective services, were cap
tured while holding conference at
Moscow.
Lieutenant Emil Jonoff, who was
executed at Sveaborg fortress in Au-
gust for participation in the mutiny,
also was a member of this organiza-
tion.
The propaganda In the army and
navy is now the chief work Of the
so-called majority faction of the So
cial Democrats, which, after the civil
ian insurrectionists of last winter had
been crushed by the military force,
decided that the government could
only be overthrown by subverting the
army. The minority faction, which is
now numerically stronger than the
majority faction. has foresworn ven-
geance and has adopted resolution in
favor of purely political activity, as
in Germany. The two factions now are
virtually independent.

STYLISH ROBES.
Fascinating Gowns of Filmy Nets
and Chiffon.

Such an alluring array OF evening
frocks-delicate gauZes, fluffy ch1ffons,
sunrle crepe de chimes, embroidered
mulls, filmy nets and dainty laces-are
shown in the shops now that every
woman is tempted to buy one.
More elaborate than these are the Sc
ouinedSrobes. I use sequined, and last
wear this word would have exactly ex-
pressed my meaning. This season the
term is entirely inadequate, for while the
foundation is a sequined gown. the en-
bellishments really leave one In DOUBT as
to how to describe them.
The foundation is of net and the Sc
uuins are there, but are so entirety over
Whelmed by embroidery that whether to
write, of a net gown embroidered or pal
lated is an open question. These en-
broiderieS are worked in a darnlnS Stltch
with very coarse floss silk that stands
out well and is wonderfully effective The
spangles are set on in a running vine
iesign, and the heavy embroiderles are
arranged in some cases to connect these
sprays, and in others single immense
blossoms are scattered all over the gilt
tering surface. Nor does the decoration
end with the embroidery, for this in its
turn is picked out with mock jewels,
such as rhinestoneS and turquoise, and
frequently with gold, silver and colored
spangles. Hearts of roses show this adj
ditional touch, and many of the leaves,
such as ferns, have a row of rhineSt tones
running through the stem the entire
length of the leaf. This IS extremely
striking, yet dainty looking and in good
taste Of course, with such a wealth of
color and materials, it is a very easy
matter to find a gown that might be de-
scribed as loud, even to bordering on the
barbaric The present evening models
show so little Of the skirt material on
