eavalry to chare. Th crowd of striker
tn nd outald the Admiralty garden con
tinued to (row hourly, awelled by arrlvala
from the Nevsky project, which touches
bit the boulevard skirting tn gardens. Th
irlker manned and held a small edinc
at th corner of the gardens and poured
out constant objurgations and reproach
at the troops, It was tit vain that officers
requested thotm t disperse.
"We have com to present our homage
and grievance to the emperor."
'Let th emperor come out and hear
us; we do not wish to do harm."
Long live tcichoias II. If he only lis
ten to our grievances we are sure he will
be just and merciful."
"We cannot longer endure our sufferings.
Hotter die at one and end all."
Such were the cries repeatedly heard
from many strikers. Many strikers brought
t liolr wives and children.
"You soldiers are our brothers; you can
not shoot these little ones." they ex
claimed. - r
But as the pickets and patrols continued
ilrlrlng off the people the demonstrators
began to give way and the bitterest In
sults and osth, in which the Russian vo
cabulary Is particularly rich, became fre
quent. ,
"Wo are not Japanese, why brutalixe us?
Will yon shnmethe. mother who bore you.
vUo wa. a Ujisslan like ourselves?" were
some of the cries that were heard.
Later" such.'cifresMuns as "Scoundrels,"
"Mercenaries," Dgs" and worse were
heard. 'A long-balred student among the
crowd burled hi Inmiltlng epithet at an
officer, who sent a couple of men to ar
rest him. The crowd tried to rescue the
Hudent,. but th latur was dragged and
kicked across the ran-llt square, Ms long
hull- tossing In the air. The crowd .broke
Into a stronin of hoots and hisses. Then
yoting workman Jeered at a soldier, who
applied bis rifle butt, and With the help
of comrades, dragged the workman, de
spite his piteous1 pleadings, to the lock-up.
Cavalry- Charlie Crowd.
Every time th,ttOop moved the crowds
hissed 'them. Strikers also gathered at th
untranc of the grand Aloreskala, and" the
atenu. leading, io the ,iolka canal, t The
crowd at tha latter flaco swelled to huge
proportions, soekjhg tiio bridge across the
cunal. The order came at 10;3O p. m. to
clear Chem-off. iThe colonel commanding
the Horse Guard uttered a short, sharp
command; n troopers drew their swords
and advanced at a Quick trot and then
broke Into a gailup, heading straight for
the Molka, where they Were lost in a cloud
of snow. Shriek from the wounded re
sounded. Then came a deadly silence,
broken only by Hie galloping of ambulance
horses.
ThcL net twenty minutes passed without
Incident. Nothing Indicated the approach
of the horrible butchery which was de
stined to stain the corner of the Admiralty
gardens with human blood. The crowd
ther persisted la refusing to move on,
clamoring for the emperor, and continually
t hurling' abuse at the troops, but attempted
no violence. Two companies of the Proe
branjensky, 'guards, of . which Emperor
Nicholas himself was formerly colonel,
which had been standing at ease tn front
of the palace, formed and marched at
doubl quick toward toward th fatal cor
ner. . Troon Mr on Crowd.
Events followed Vlth awful swiftness.
Th commanding officer shouted "Disperse!
Diapers! Disperse!". Many in the crowd
turned to if!, but it wa too late. A bugl
sounded and' the men In the front rank
aank ta their knee and both companies
fired three volleys, the first two with blank
cartridges and th last with ball. A hun
dred corpses strewed the sidewalk. Many
women were pierced through the back as
they were trying to escape.
The ' Associated Frees correspondent,
standing behind the troops, saw mangled
corpses of persons of all ages and both
acx,4trewing th ground.- On boy of 13
had. -bis skull pierced and rent by bullet.
Great splashes and streams of blood'
stalnsd" the snow. Only a few of the vic
tims ' remained alive, for the fatal, volley
waer fired 'st a distance of not more than
twenty paces, and so the ambulances had
Uttl work to do. The, police recruited a
large number of droshkys (sleighs) to carry
off the dead. Heart-rending scenes were
witnessed as' wives, husbands and moth
ers came up to claim their dear ones and
were carried off with them in the sleighs
Meanwhile the crowd hAd drifted up the
Nevsky prospect, yelling "Murderers!"
"Murderers!" and the square resumed Its
cat maspect,' th troopsj returning to their
station. ...
It was now the turn for the crowd sta
tioned at the Morskala entrance to the
square, wher th Horse Guards repeated
th exploit, -with which jlhey had cleared
th Moia and drove' the people from the
thoroughfare. From thence forward tha
palace squar ceased to b th center of
interest.
Shop Are Close.
Th Associated press correspondent went
to Qrand Morskala and stood a whole hour
near th corner of the Nevsky prospect.
Th fashionable hotels on either side of
th grand Morskala were crowded, but the
doors were locked except to well known
visitors. Fashionable Jewelry and other
stores were barred, but mostly unshuttered.
Quit a number of prominent person stood
OA th sidewalks watching tha develop
ment a Secretary Spencer Eddy of the
American embassy chattad with Qrand
Duke Boris, who had driven up lit a stylish
sleigh, drawn by a magnificent trotter. M.
Bompard, th French ambassador, drove
past with his wife. As a couple of squad
rons of redcapped Hussars trotted by the
officer gav the command: "Use th fiat
of your swords."
Thin' th trooper moved off and disap
peared down the street, the crowds shriek
ing, "Murderous dogs," but quickly van
ishing before them. A few who were
wounded were picked up and conveyed to
a d-ug store on th oppoait corner of th
Grand Morskala and th Nevsky prospect.
No troops were visible for as much as half
an hour. A crowd quickly formed outside
th drug store and an orator was found
. for th oocaslon. Standing on th step of
th drug stor h addressed th Impromptu
meeting thus, ,
- i '
Order Incites Revolution.
"Comrades We cam humbly and wo.
fully to meet th ' emperor and lay our
grievance before him, but the emperor re

sent to snoot us down. Then all I can say
Is h 1 no emperor."
Down with th emperor!" shouted the
crowd.
"Wt have suffered under th away of

"Down with th Chlnovniks!"
"W hoped for redress, but hop Is no

rights by fighting."

"Down with th autocracy." ylled th
crowd.
"Our only chance of redress la from rep
resentative of the people."
"Long II v the constitutional assembly.-
"Then all I hav to say Is to arms, com
rades, to arms."
To arms," was th thunderous re
sponse. The crowd, How aroused to a state of
frensy at tha sight of th wounded wh
were being brought out of the drug stor
and placed In an ambulance, saluted them
as martyrs. Every head wa uncovered
as the victims were conveyed away.
The wilder element In tue crowd had now
got the upper hand and proceeded to at
tack every officer In sight. A general driv
ing up the Nevsky prospect was mobbed
with shouts of "Murderer." Ills sword wss
captured as a trophy, the crowds shout-,
Ing: "Hurrah!" Another general wa
nearly dragged from his sleigh, but
clutched the driver desperately, and In es
caping was struck on his bald head by a
glass bottle and stunned. Swords were
wrenched from several passing officers and
the crow shouted, "Break their swords,
but do not eat them.".
The appearance of several companies of
Infantry restored order, but the crowds
refused to disperse And several volley
were fired and a number, of people killed.
Half a dozen policemen were surroumlefi
by a crowd in a neighboring side street.
The policemen drew their revolvers anv
fired and one of them was killed by a
corarade's misdirected fire.
Soldiers Spare Priest.
There was a very dramatic scene at -the
Narve gate when Father Gopon, In golden
vestments, bearing aloft an ikon and
flanked by two clergymen carrying re
ligious banners, approached at the heud
of a procession of 8,000 workmen. Troops
were drawn up across the entrance. Sev
eral times ah officer called upon the pro
cession to stop,1 but Father Gopon did not
falter. Then an order was given to flro,
first with blank cartridges. Two volleys
rang out, but'tho line still did not waver.
Then, with seeming reluctunce, an officer
gave the romrannd to load with bait, and
the next volley was folTowed) by shrieks
and cries of the wounded. As the. Cossacks
followed up the volley with a charge the
workmen fled before, them, leaving about
100 dead or wounded.,' .
It was evident that the soldiers deliber
ately spared Father Gopon. Ono of th
clergymen, by lils side wss. wounded, but
Father. Gopon escaped untouched and hid
behind a wall until the Cossacks passed and
he was then spirited away by workmen.
During the evening there were more foot
passengers In the sure'- -'Tin might have
teen expected, but nothing like the gaiety
anu bueiio of uu o.iin... ,...i..jh, evening.
Comment on the action of the troops and
authorities Is very bitter, and sarcastic re
marks are made that officers are braver
against the defenseless public than against
the Japanese, and that "ammunition may
be scar In the far east, but Is too plentiful
here."
Returns from only three of the numerous
hospitals give ihirty-one dead and 121
wounded. Many of the wounded have been
taken to their homes.
Broken windows and embedded bullets
are found at long distances from the scene
of the firing.
The rioters broke windows la the palace
of Grand Duke Alexis.
The workmen tonight were arming with
every conceivable weapon for a renewal
of the struggle. They have few firearms, ,
but are improvising trade implements Into
weapons.
The following Is the text of a letter ad
dressed by Father Gopon to Emperor
Nicholas last night!
Sovereign: I fear your ministers have
not told you the full truth about the situa
tion. The whole people, trusting In you,
have resolved to appear at the Winter
palace at 2 p. m., in order to Inform you

NO TARIFF REVISION YET
President Eopei Hit Views on Subject Will
Prevail by Fall.
RAILROAD SIDE OF RATE QUESTION
Attorney for Property Rights Aaso
elation Alleges Savings of Poor
Will Suffer from Slight
Slash In Rates.
(From a BtafT Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. Special.) "Will
the president call an extra session of con
gress In the spring to consider freight
rates?" Is the question which nearly every
member of connicsj is asking of every
man Mkely to have any information of
value.
It Is practically settled that the idea of
revising the tariff at once has been aban
doned. Various polls of the house, for the
purpose of getting at congressional senti
ment, have been taken and they all show
that an overwhelming majority of the re
publicans are opposed to any change what
ever at this time. It is not that a ma
jority of the members of the majority party
do not realise that ninny of the rchedulca
of the tariff law are susceptible to change
to the advantage of everyone. But, on tho
other hand, It Is feared that any attempt to
revise the Incongruities of the existing law
would bilng about commercial unrest
which would be disastrous, only two re
publican members from the ytatc of New
York are In favor of the president's pro
gram for tariff revision.
President Converting; Ills Party.
Mr. Roosevelt, like Mr. Cleveland, Is at
odds with his isrty as to the tariff policy.
Mr. Cleveland attempted to force liin views
down the throats of the, members of the
house and use3 tho executive power In an
endeavor to coerce the protectionists. Bliss,
Greenmnn, Snowdcn and a few others, to
abandon thi ir convictions for the suko of
sustaining his policy. They .refused. The
president alluded to the Mil wJiieh was
subsetiucntly sent to him as tire? outcome
of "perrtdy and dishonor" on tho rart of
the men who had prepared and put It
through congress.
Sir. Roosevelt will take no such course,
tn attempting to Incorporate his views on
tho subject of Import duties into, the
statutes. But he will probably win cut
eventually. He has a faculty for winning
men over to his Ideas and, while it would
be unwise, in view of tho temper of the
house, to attempt to secure tho enactment
of a tariff bill In April he hopes to create
enbugh of the right sentiment according
to his Ideas of tho right sentiment by the
end of the summer to lnsuro the passage
of a revision bill.
Carefnl Consideration Demanded.
As to the railroad rate question, many
nembers of both houses believe that one
of the several rate-fixing bills should be
enacted into law promptly. Efforts are
being made every day to put the Cooper
Quarles bill through before March 4. But
It Is natural that such an Important ques
tion should demand careful consideration
before drastic measures are taken.
It Is urged on behalf of the railroads
that no more stringent law can be made
than the one now on the books toward the
abotlUon of rebates. There are provisions
for Injunctions, trials. Imprisonments and
all that. It's up to the -government now,
and with all the laws needed, to stop them.
They also Insist that -the private car evil,
against which so many complaints have
been made, are as Injurious to their in
terests as to the general shipper and that
the Interstate Commerce commission
should have Jurisdiction over them. It la
urged further that the bills now before
congress will not stop rebates, regulate
private car or terminal roads. They pro
vide only that a rate-making power be
given the Interstate Commerce commission
when Its own reports show it Is unneces
sary." '
Everything considered, It Is extremely un
likely that an extra session wlll.be called
before October, especially since no man In
the house or the senate is anxious to re
main In Washington all aummer.
Property Rights Defended.
The question of conferring the rate
making power upon the Interstate Com
merce commission has been further com
plicated by the appearance of the Asso
ciation for Maintaining the .'Rights "of
Property, which has declared Its purpose of
taking a hand In the discussion and de
sires to be heard before action Is taken.
This association Is composed of holders
of the stocks and bonds of railroad com
panies and Its comprehensive name was
chosen to convey to the public. Its pur
pose, which Is to maintain the rights of
property holders tn this and other cases
where they may be endangered. It as
sumes that after all is said the persons
most likely to be affocted by governmental
regulation of rates, are those whose money
la directly or indirectly Invested In these
securities. All complaints are that rates
are too high and It Is therefore argued
that any regulation by the commission
must be In the nature of a reduction a re
duction of the ratea followed by a re
duction of the Income of the roads and
a reduction of the dividends. To the end,
therefore, that the Interests of the In
dividual holders of these securities, and of
depositors In banks and' trust companies
and holders of life or fire Insurance poli
ciesall of which are heavy Investors In
or lenders on railroad stocks and bonds
may be protected, the Association for
Maintaining the Rights of Property has
been organised and has requested to be
fully heard by the committee of the
senat and house on Interstate commerce
before any bill of the character proposed
ta reported. ,
Connecticut Lawyer's Flgrnre.
Hon. Daniel Davenport of Bridgeport.
Conn., leading member of the Connecticut
bar, haa been retained to represent the
association before congress. Mr. Daven
port Is well known as the organiser of
similar associations and haa. frequently
appeared before congressional committees.
He has a wide reputation as an authority
and debater on industrial topics arid Is a
clear and forceful speaker.
Mr. Davenport has addressed a communi
cation to Senator Elklns and Representa
tive Hepburn, giving some reasons why his
clients are interested In this subject. It Is
represented that last year the railroads
carried an equivalent of more than 101000.000
passengers 100 miles for 12 apiece. The total
amount received for this service was $421,
000,000. which was 180,000,000 less than they
expended on the single Item of maintenance
of way and equipment. Thla expense alon

absorbed all their gross passenger, mall
and express revenues.
They also carried. the equivalent of ntort
than 1,732,000,000 tons of freight a dlstsnce
of 100 miles for 7S.I cents per ton. Th
total net Interest paid to the bondholders
wa r?8.0nn,ooo, and the net dividends to
th stockholders wss ti6R.0O0.O00. or a total
net revenue to the owners of this property
of tt34.OOO.0rl0 on an Investment, conserva
tively estimated, .of more than tl0.000.000.ooo,
a return of $4 34 on each two. In this con
nection Mr. Davenport point out that the
reduction of only one-tenth of a cent per
ton of freight per mile would wipe out all
the Interest of tho stockholders and the re
duction of another mill and a half would
eliminate all the interest paid the bond
holders during the year, thus utterly de
stroying the value of the property of his
clients.
"It Is therefore apparent," he said to
day, "that the value of these securities can
only be preserved by the most careful man
agement of those who have a direct In
terest In their preservation and are" en
trusted with that xluty. The people who
own the stocks and bonds of these railway
companies, for the most part, are not tho
rich nor even th moderately well to do.
For Instance, lrt the city of Bridgeport
there nre 12.ooo rtoposltors In A single sav
ings bank who own t-.'WJ.OOO of the bonds
of thirty of these companies. In the state
of Connecticut there are no less than 4U),
000 depositors In savings banks, who own
more than ITO.noo.Ooo of these bonds, one
third of all their savings being Invested
In them. In the six states of Maine. New
Hampshire, Massachusetts. Connecticut,
New York and New Jersey, there are no
less than 4.800,100 depositors In savings
banks who own more than t;(.r$.0C0.G0o of
these bonds, or more than one-llfteenth of
the total amount of such bonds outstand
ing. When we recall that at the last pres
idential election the ropular vote In these
six states did not exceed 2,800,000 wo per
ceive how numerous arc the holders of
these bonds in that section of the coun
try, and more h.tn half of these are
women and children.
Poor People's Saviaas.
"It is not too much to say that these
bonds are the prlucipal Items in the in
vestments of the, savings of the poor peo
pie of the nation. Anil should anything
be dono by congress to impair the value
of these, securities, it certainly would be
followed by a run upon every such Insti
tution In tho country, which would end in
unparalleled disaster. Moreover, there are
1.4M.712 poer people who arc small policy
holders In ho John Hancock Life Insur
ance company of Boston, whose funds are
largely Invested In these bonds and the
value of whose policies Is dependent upon
the preservation of these Securities. And
the same is true of, the millions of small
policy holders In the Prudential Insurance
company of New Jersey, the Metropolitan
Insurance company of New York and other
fire and Jlfe Insurance companies.
"Demand Is now made upon congress to
take th power of fixing the prices to be
charged for the public services rendered
by these companies and which are the
only source of the value of these securi
ties, from the owners of the properties
and their agents and to give It to the In
terstate Commerce commission. An asso
ciation has been formed in the interest
of the bondholders and stockholders of
these companies and of the public as well
to oppose In all directions the efforts of
the commission to grasp thla autocratic
and enormous power."

It now appears that the party asked for
an escort from the Mexican authorities at
Hermoslllo, and an order to the military

La Colorado the escort was requested, but
the Mexican officials replied that there
were so many In the party that an escort
waa unnecessary. Thereupon the party
left for Camp Toledo, and reachsd there
without difficulty.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Forshaw of Colorado,
from either Cripple Creek or Colorado

reaching Camp Toledo, and are now in
camp and In no danger. Fred Oarretson,

Penn has not been given to the public, but
It Is understood that a nunibt-r of old sol
diers. Including Grnernl Gage, Tom Majors
and others, nre working throuijli lh b.vml
to control the appointment. The real cause
of tho board's objection to Penn, It Is said.
Is because he failed to extend to Its mem
bers courtesies they cxpecto ion u recent
visit to the home.
In retaliation for the board's objection
to him, Commander Penn, together with
nearly nil of the soldiers In the home, has
declared the visiting board a nuisance,
without reason for existing. It was slated
yesterday by n cIofp friend of Coninitnder
Penn that the visiting board expected to
be wined and dined, mid then furnished n
carriage In which to ride over the country
when they visited Mllford. Wheji Com
mander Penn fulled In these particulars,
this man sold, the president of the bonrd
called him down for not being more cour
teous. Penn made a characteristic reply,
and It is said this led to the resignation
of President Reese.
Penn Still In Fight.
It was published here yesterday that
Penn had withdrawn from the race to
succeed himself, because of bis troubles
wllh the visiting bourd. There Is nbsolutcly
no truth In, tha report. Mr. Penn is still
In the raco, aitir notwithstanding Governor
Mickey Is against lilm, he has strong back
ing on tha board. Neurly all of- the old
soldiers in the home have signed a petition
to the board to reappoint him and accord
ing to un old soldier who was In Lincoln
yesterday the petition was circulated with
out tho knowledge of Mr. Penn.
Smallpox at Industrial School.
A patient in the Girls' Industrial School
at Mllford has the smallpox and one of the
large buildings has been placed under
quarantine. The patient' la a woman re
cently sent out from Lincoln. She is the
mother of one child, who Is with her. She
waa admitted to the home several days
ago and In a short time was taken 111 with
smallpox. At this time there are twenty
eight Inmates In the Institution, but the
authorities do not fear a spread of the
disease. It may have the e.Tct of keep
ing away the legislative visiting committee.
M'ALLISTER DEFENDS BILL
Points Ont Error of Those Who
'Assail Apportionment
Mensnre. '
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 22. (Special Telegram.)-
When Representative McAllister of Deuei
county Introduced his reapportionment bill
In the house over a week ago he was
charged by certain persons and certain
newspapers with launching a movement for
the distinct purpose of giving the North
Platte country a majority In the legisla
ture so as to Insure its supremacy over the
South Platte country.
"The bill is not in the Interest of any
man or set of men, section, county or dis
trict," asserts Mr. McAllister. "My only
reason for pressing this measure is be
cause I am convinced, after two years of
study, that it comes nearer submitting the
exact basis of reapportionment than any
other could. Yet I am frank to admit
that even this bill Is not perfeot, and if
It be possible to get one that Is more per
fect I am willing to maxe such changes
In my measure as will bring about the de
sired end."
The assertion has been made tn certain
newspapers which manifestly have given
the measure no serious attention, that It
provides the North Platte counties with a
majority in the legislature over the South
Platte counties of from ten to fifteen mem
bers, cinching, therefore, the control of
the North Platte faction in republican pol
itics. Had the persona making this state
ment taken the time to look into the situa
tion they would have found that to be a
fact: The bill actually gives to the North
Platte counties, on a Joint vote, a majority
of two; that while It gives the Noith
Platte section three more members In the
house than It does the Bouth Platte, It
gives the South Platte a majority of one
member In the senate.
Mr. McAllister points out there la not
enough difference In the relative voting
strength of the two sections to Insure con
trol for either. It has never yet been pos
sible, and he thinks never will be, for
either section to count, with" absolute cer
tainty, upon being able to control every man
within its respective limits.
The basis of representation In this state,
according to law, Is 10,663. Th remarkable
fact that this number appears Just twenty
five times and numbers very near it many
other times In the McAllister bill may sur
prise some of those who are attacking the
measure. Mr. MoAlllster has been earn
estly congratulated by members who have
taken time to study th tilll and found that
It hits the exact basis of representation
with such precision and frequency, it Is
the opinion of many that it would not be
possible' to make another reapportionment
which would so nearly meet the require
ments of the law.
The covert effort to discredit the McAl
lister bill by trying to array the South
Platte people against It does not promise
complete success, for th simple reason
that already some strong South Platte
members have taken a stand for the bill.
Representative Kyd of Gsge county, for
Instance, though not able to figure out any
personal profit from the bill, says It Is a
good measure, and ha la for It; that ia,
the houae part of it at any rate. He thinks
some changea could with benefit be made
tn tha senate reapportionment, which onlv
add to th series of surprise and further
disarms thus who hav .assailed the bill
on th grounds that It Is a pro-North Piatt
affair.
Douglas county, under this bill, would
have a straight representation In the houue
or tnirteen and In th senat of four and
share a float member in the house with
Baundera county, giving It an Increase of
five and a half meu ers, but the half
.member, In making the count on North
and Bouth Platte lines. Is given, to the lat
ter. Mr. McAllister la convinced he has
not given Douglas more than the heavy
Increase In Its population entitles It to
and statistics bear out his convletluns.
Bo far as McAllister druv.lng thn bill
Iwith aa ey single for North Piatt u
premacy It I a fact that when asked by a
correspondent for Th Pee how much of
a majority the North Platte would have
under his bill he could not tell, for he haM
never figured on It from that standpoint.
He had simply sought to give each county,
regardless of Its location, whst Its popula
tion entitled It to.

In It than the average news report. H. A.
