IN SUBURBAN MOSCOW
CHIEF OF SECRET POLICE KILL
ED BY REBELS.
Colonel Wounded and Several Police
Slain Before Artillery Subdues
Revolutionists.

MOSCOW. December 26.-Baron Cote.
chief of the secret political police, was
killed and Col. Muraki was wounded in
a fierce encounter today with revolution
lists, who were intrenched in a suburban
villa.
During the fight several policemen were
killed and others were wounded. Troops
were summoned to the aid of the police.
A regular battle ensued. Artillery had
finally to be brought up to lombard the
villa before the revolutionists were sub
dued.
The occurrence is the most serious
since the uprising of December, 1900.
The villa where the fighting took place
occupies a strategic position on Elk ISL
and, an islet in the river near Moscow
that is a favorite summer resort
The leaders of a revolutionary organi-
cation were holding meeting in the
house. The police got wind Of the af-
fair and surrounded the villa with the
purpose of making arrests.
AS they approached the house the reyo-
lutionists opened fire. This resistance
was unexpected. The police withdrew.
Then infantry were sent for. With this
reinforcement second advance was
made. The police and the soldiers had
to retire a second time.
It was in this encounter that Baron
Cote was killed and Col. Muraki wound
ed. Several soldiers also lost their lives.
When the artillery appeared a few well
directed shots put an end to the trouble.
The losses sustained by the revolutioniSts
are not known, but doubtless are heavy.

AWAITS RESULT OF APPEAL
IMPOSSIBLE FOR PRESIDENT TO
ACT ON GoMPERS' SENTENCE.
Announcement on the Labor Cases
Made Pubic at Executive Office
by Secretary Loeb.

Secretary Loeb today made public the
following statement from the executive
office on the Gompers case:
Various appeals have been made to the
President to interfere by pardon in the
case of Mr.. Gompers and his associates
Those making the appeals are unaware
of the fact that the matter is still before
the courts; it is civil suit between pri-
vate parties and there has been no way
by which the government could have in
tervened if it had desired to do so.
Whether the President does or does. not
think the sentence of Mr. Gompers and
his associates excessive is not at present
of consequence, because he cannot take
any action or express any opinion while
the case is pending before the courts.
When final decision is made, then the
President can properly consider whether
the terms of Imprisonment are excessive
or improper.
'Hut it is, of course, impossible for the
President to act while an appeal is pend
ing. for he has nothing whatever to act
about. The courts must finish with the
case first, and the defendants are at the
present moment at liberty on bail If the
defendants see fit to abandon their ap-
peal the matter will then, of course. be at
once brought before the executive, ir
which case it will receive immediate and
most careful consideration. But the de-
PENDANTS have perfect right to prosecute
their appeal and, if unsuccessful in the
final court, then to ask for a pardon or
communication. But as long as they are
prosecuting an appeal, the President has
nothing to do with the matter.
1.-The President has already instructed
the Department Of Justice to keep him
fully informed as to the progress of the
case, so that in the event of its becoming
proper for him to act he may already
have al his disposal all of the facts which
will enable him to decide whether there
was justification for the sentence and
whether. if there was justification for
some punishment. the sentence is or is
not altogether too severe.
But at present the President has no
more to do with the case than with the
case of the twenty -nine-million- dollar
fine imposed by Judge Lands on the
Standard Oil Company. which is also on
appeal. and concerning which the Presi-
dent has also been repeatedly asked to
interfere by well-meaning persons who
did not know that he could not interfere
while the matter was still before the
courts on appeal.

HARGIS JURY HUNG.
Hopelessly, It Says, But Court Sends
It Back to Try Again.

IRVINE, KY. December 26.-The jury
trying Beach Hargis for the murder of
his father again took up its work this
morning.
There is apparently no chance to get a
verdict. Four men are holding out for
conviction, and two of these are said to
favor the death penalty.
The interest in the case has not abated.
Hundreds of people are about the court
house today. eager for the first informa-
ton as to the verdict.
Mrs. Hargis, mother of the young patri-
eide. is still hopeful of getting a verdict
of acquittal. If no verdict is reached she
says she will willingly go through an
other or even a third trial to save her
son, having made up her mind to spend
the last dollar of the Hargis estate to
free him.
The jury reported at 10 O'clock that it
was unable TO agree on verdict and
that it was hopelessly hung, and asked
that it be discharged. Judge Adams se-
fused the request and sent il back for
another effort

NOT POLITICALLY IMPORTANT
ATTACK ON FRENCH PRESIDENT
LACKS SIGNIFICANCE.
Cabinet Decides by Energetic Ac
tion to Prevent the Recurrences
a of Similar Outrages.

PARIS, December 26-The entire press
of Paris. with the exception of such re-
dictionary newspapers as La Libre Parole
and L'Action Franchise, consider the at
tack made. yesterday in the streets of
Paris on President Fallieres by an un-
employed waiter named Maths without
political Importance.
'.If the cause of the Bourhons and the
Bonarartists were not as dead as a door
nail such pitiful exhibitions of impotent
fury would completely discredit them,'
voices the general opinion.
Nevertheless, some Of the republican or
gans express the opinion that the govern
ment should do something to put an end
to the campaign being conducted persist
emily by small group of militant royal
lists. aided by clerical organization, with
the object of keeping public opinion in
fame.
Royalist and Clerical Agitation.
The recent disorders at the Academy
of Medicine, while originating from gen.
uine dissa sfaction with the new sys-
tenn of examinations, are attributed
largely to this same royalist and cleri-
cal agitation, which some time ago
brought about the retirement OF Prof
inalahlaS, whose OffenSe consisted in
writing history of Joan of Arc to
prove that the stories of her divine in
spiration were mere legends. devoid of
any historic foundation.
The mental caliber of Maths is illus
trated by the fact that he was victim
lied few weeks ago by a matrimonial
advertisement. He gave up his entire
savings, $1,000, under the impression
that he was about to marry a woman Of
great wealth.
The Maths incident was discussed at
todayS meeting Of the cabinet and il
was decided by energetic action to pre-
vent the recurrence of similar out
RACES.
