Molva Russlaltksays that Count Solskys commission has decided to change the council of state Into an upper house consisting of 100 members fifty of whom will be appointed and fifty elected The Slovo the Conservative organ which recently turned upon Count Wltte delivers a broadside not only Impugning the motives of the premier in the present war against the Beds but openly attacking the records of members of the cabinet It says Russian society supports the war against anarchy but refuses to believe Chat Wltte Is making a fight In the interest of freedom as all his life be has been the prince of bureaucrats Witte Is a good deal of a broker and something of a journalist but at heart he Is a political gambler and tacks the Ting of sincerity No government without honesty can Inspire confidence The fact that one minister was caught In7 a shady grain operation that another was found tofoe supplying railroad ties that another was engaged In questionable transactions In commercial paper and that another was selling national secrets Justifies the nation In distrusting the Russian Bismarck The revolutionists are to be condemned but when the unwritten history of the past twenty years is recalled It win be seen that their cthods of TObbery violence and falsehood were only the usual method of the bureaucracy Could the Mes of the revolutionaries exceed those Of the foreign office or

demonstrated the confidence of Premier Wlttes government that It aas the ability to complete the task It has undertaken The main cause of this confidence Is the fidelity displayed by the troops i Premier Wltte to day dentedjast nights report that he was urging toe immediate promulgation of a constitution Until the douma meets he said I etand firmly on the manifesto of October 30 Xot one step in advance nor one step in the rear will I go till the douma assembles All the energies of the government are now consecrated to the work of making possible the convocation of the representatives of the nation at the earliest possible moment Uprisings Are Widespread The Molva Rues bitterly assails the government for Its blind boastfulness In asserting that the revolution Is crushed saying How can the government claim It Is extinguished while the revolution continues In the Baltic provinces at Samara In the Don Basin and other places of European Russia when the Catherine Railroad Is in the hands of the strikers and also the Siberian road where the Em perors cipher dispatches are thrown Into the waste basket when the disorders In the Ural regions are extremely serious when Poland Is under the double terror of martial law and the railroad strike when the agrarian movement Is rolling from county to county and when bombs are thrown in Odessa and other cities The fact Is that except the troops the court and the bureaucracy the government has not a single supporter If it required ten days to suppress the comparatively small uprising in Moscow how long will it take to suppress a Pan RussianRussian revolution Considerable alarm has been created by a proclamation of the workmen of the Ivanovo Voznesensk district outside of Moscow threatening in the name of the peasants the annihilation of the striking railroad men If the railroads do not resume operations before the Russian Christmas January 7 An evening paper declares that It is In possession of Information to the

body was found near Hamilton Ontario in October was brought to light here to day Horton wao examined again this afternoon by officers with a newspaper mam from Hamilton present who asked the self con fessedV crlmlnal a number of questions It was said after the examination that Horton had tangled himself up somewhat in his story and had convinced his questioners that he does not know the inner details of the crime The confession in my opinion said Sheriff Rust is either partly lie or all He In any event we consider It worthy of a careful Investigation In his original confession Horton said the woman was strangled to death because she threatened to Inform the police regarding the passing of counterfeit money by Horton and his two Mexican partners Horton said the trio drew lots to determine which one should put the young woman out of the way and that the choice fell to one of the Mexicans who took the woman driving and returned alone the three men leaving Hamilton that night

private anjd some of the bodies were Incinerated But a per tonal tour of the hospitals reveal 548 known killed and 1055 wounded One hundred and seventy four of the Injured taken to hospitals have since died The troops lost nine killed of whom two were officers and fifty one wounded Of the police force ten were killed and fifteen wounded Among the killed or wounded were a number of children the returns generally showing that Innocent persons suffered heaviest The final figures of the casualties will closely approach 2500 the original estimate made In these dispatches Baseless Stories Printed The stories of the discovery of great heaps of dead In the Prerna district aj wen as many other sensational stories printed by the local papers like the statement that oer 400 revolutionists are still holding the Prokharoff mills turn outl after an Investigation to be untrue There has been no fighting at the Prokharoff mills since Saturday An eyewitness of the surrender of the last batch on Sunday says that two of the ringleaders were shot without even the semblance of a trial The property of foreigners In the Prezna district has been damaged or destroyed to a considerable extent among the losses being a flve storj brick building belonging to naturalized American Stab voffsky who has lodged with the American consul Mr Smith a demand for damages against the Rusisan government which has been forwarded to the embassy at St Petersburg Four similar demands for damages have been lodged with the British consul and seven with the consul of Germany by British and German sub jects respectively At the bourse to day a prominent manufacturer estimated the damage done In the burned district at 15000000 The American factories of which the New York Air brake Company the Barry Boiler Companyr and the Singer Manufacturing Company are the principal have not suffered Another Revolt Impossible Gov Gen Doubassoff said to day I consider a repetition of the revolt In Moscow to be Impossible The events of the last few days have driven the Liberals and even the naaicais to ine sme uj 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 which they ha been accumulating for months have been captured While declining to give details of the losses as his investigations have not yet been completed tiie governor general pointed out that these losses were greatly exaggerated This he said also applied to the property losses The only large es tahnjhmcnti which have been burned were the Betin prlntery which was val ued at J5O0O0O tne scnmrai rumiiure iao tory and part of the Manontoff factory 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 Inexpensive wooden structures but the heaviest loss the goernor general said was to the commercial Interests which on the eve of the holidays were damaged to the extent of several millions Government Will Be Lenient The number of persons arrested was large the governor general said but most of tr em would be released without even being put through the formality of a trial The leaders would be tried bythe civil and not by the military tribunals but the most flagrant offenders the men who were plainly guilty of treason which in ether countries would be punishable with death would probably get off with terras of Imprisonment at hard labor such being the mildness of the Russian law Rollroad traffic In all directions was resumed to day The people to relieve the apprehension of their relatives and friends crowded In front of the telegraph office to day waiting for hours to file dispatches Although the strike Is off some of the factories decided that It is useless to recommence work four days before Ohristmas and have dismissed their work men until January 21 MARRIED WRONGTWIN EICH FEEACHES TO WED 1 Romance of
