are boarded up and at midnight ths streets,
aa on Monday, are completely deserted ex
cept for troopa.
During the day there was a great crop
of aeniatlonal rumors, Including atorles of
trlkera marching on Koplno to seise the
small arms factory there and of the assas
sination of General Fullon, the chief of
police of Bt. Petersburg, all of which, on
Investigation, have turned out to be false.
Tb Inhabitants have again been warned to
remain In doors.
It Is not known definitely whether Father
Gopon, the leader of the workmen, is In
Moaoow or in Bt Petersburg. A proclama
tion aald to have emanated from htm has
been distributed Indicating that he has
gone over body and soul to the . social
democrats. The proclamation declares that
aa the emperor and the emperor's ministers
have refused to listen to the people'a
grievances and fired on them tho govern
ment has outlawed itself so that every
man's hand should be agalnat it, and calls
on the people to slay the outlaws and
destroy the government, root and branch.
It authorises the men to use dynamite
bombs, etc., Invitee students to join, ab
solves soldiers from their oath of fealty.
The destruction of government property Is
recommended, but the proclamation re
quests the followers of Father Gopon to
spare private property and ransack only
shops containing victuals and arms, and
urges all to continu the fight until they
succeed In' securing a national assembly.

t p. m. St.-Tetersbiirg wears a lesa mar
tial aspect today. Every troop haa been
drawn Into court yards. Only pickets are
left Outside and small squada of Cossacks
. are patrolling the streets. The stores
along the principal thoroughfares are
mostly closed and barricaded.
Tho correspondent of" the Associated
Prsse drove up the Nevsky Prospect, snd
with the holp of daylight realized that the
damage done to store fronts was more
considerable than appeared last night. A
large number of business premises were
wrecked, the mob having devoted itself
principally t0 confectioners and pastry
cooks. Rnormous crowds, of strikers and
many sightseers, encouraged by the mild
weather, wero promenading the sidewalks
this morning and the street cars were
again In Operation. All has been quiet up
to this hour.
Tho correspondent of the Associated
Presa noticed several men distributing
proclamations. The people formerly were
shy of accepting such documents; now they
are eagerly accepting theni and havo nick
named them "Instochko" ("swallows"), an
allusion to the spring, which has become
a synonym of revolution. The correspond
ent secured a number of copies. They are
all signed by "The Russian Social Demo
cratic Labor Party."

Long live tho revolution.
Long live the constitutional assembly of
the representatives of tho people.
A third proclamation appeals to the peo
ple not to attempt to injure private prop
erty. General Prince Vaallchlkoff. commander
of the guards, has not yet announced the
stringent rules usually accompanying a
atate of siege, such as forbidding persons
to leave their houses after 10 p. m. with
out special passes and the extinction of all
lights In private houses after that hour.
The authorities evidently are still confident
that they have the situation well in hand.
Wild Humors Afloat.
There Is no confirmation of the report
that the emperor, empress and children are
going to Copenhagen, or, on the other
hand, that the emperor has decided to ap
point a mixed commission of officials, em
ployes and worklngmen to consider the
strikers' demands, notably the question of
eight hours' work per day, and to make
an Investigation of the shooting of the
strikers.
All sorts of rumors are circulating In
both official circles and among the work
lngmen. A curious report spread among tha men
last night that the emperor had given in
nd that threw white flags had been dis
played over the winter palace, signifying
that he had consented to reduce the maxi
mum legal hours of work from eleven to
eight. According to this legend the em
peror would have displayed a red flag If
he, had decided to refuse the strikers' . re
quest. Many worklngmen, decelted by
this rumor, shouted "Hurrah!" In tokfen
of victory and this possibly was the reason
that tho strikers, believing they had al
reudy won tho day, refrained from com
mitting excesses yesterday.
(lopon Counsels Moderation. -
Father Qopon's popularity Is unimpaired,
but it is already evident that the social
democrats are getting the upper hand and
that they are urging the people to violence.
From a trustworthy source It Is learned
that Father Gopon sent a letter to the
social democrats in the following terms:
They have fired upon nnd massacred us.
hut we are not vanquished and the day uf
our triumph is nigh. Do not Bpoll our tri
umph by taking up arms and resorting to
violence. Content yourselves with de.t; ey
ing the portraits of him who Is no longer
worthy to be our emperor.
This pacific admonition Irritated the social
democrats nnd does not meet with a re
sponse from the worklngmen, who ap
parently are thirsting for vengeance and
are clamoring for their leaders to distribute
arms.
The revolutionists ore also reported to be
actively preparing bombs and infernal ma
chines to wreck the post and telegraph
offices and destroy other government prop
erty. The revolutionists talk wildly of is
suing a manifesto declaring a provisional
government. They seem to be broken com
pletely with the zemstvolsts, whom they
treat with contempt on account of what
they call their "truckling" to autocracy.
Even Prince Trubetskol, who led the re
formers of Moscow. Is regarded by them
with suspicion, snd even hatred, because
In an article published by the Pravo he de
scribed the revolutionists as a "Port Arthur
Insldo of Htuisia," which Russia would have
to overthrow.
M. Hesscn, editor of the Pravo, whose
advanced liberal views are welt known, has
been arrested.
The Worklngmen's club has been closed
by order of the prefect of police.
Troop sre Strengthened.
While the city Is quiet, there Is still ex
treme tension In Bt. Petersburg, but from
Moscow comes news that disorders have
begun there and the lull here may be'only
the precursor of another storm. Not a sin
gle mill or factory has started up. This Is
very significant, Indicating that work
men are being supplied with the sinews of
war.
None has applied for pay at the factories,

although some have two weeks' pay coming
to them. The crowds In the streets are
sullen and several thousand additional
troops were brought in at daylight and
housed In barracks. Machine gun batteries
were also placed at several points for emer
gencies. Ths terror of the people has been some-
i what relieved, but the dread of the next
; few days continues. Many foreigners sre
leaving Russia. The foreign embassies are
not manifesting alarm. They are express
ing confidence that the government will be
able to handle the situation and that there
Is nothing now to warrant their apprehen
sion for the lives or safety of their fellow
countrymen. The authorities Insist that
danger of the situation Is exaggerated and
continue to scout the Idea of a revolution
and maintain the ability of the government
to meet all emergencies.
Prof. Karseff and M. Annensky and Pech
sechonoff, three well known writers and
Town Councillors Kedrln and Schnltnikoff,
who sre also lawyers, were arrested during
the night.
Trsfflo between Bt. Petersburg and
Moscow and St. Petersburg and Warsaw
Is uninterrupted. Ths Northern express
arrived on schedule time.
During the afternoon came the news that
workmen were going out at Kovno and
Vllna, but particulars were lacking.
Although the crowds on .. the Nevsky
Prospect continued to Increase during the
afternoon, Just as they did yesterday,
there have been no collisions up to this
hour. Moreover, during the day several
of ths smaller mills resumed work and
the men at other mills assured their em
ployers that they were anxious to return,
but that the strikers threatened to kill
them If they did so.
The wildest rumors are In circulation.
A mob Is reported to be marching on
Tsarskoe Selo to see the emperor, as the
multitude marched to Versailles to ak
King Louis VI of France for bread In
1789, but the story is utterly without
foundation.
In certain quarters, where the woes of
Russia are always laid to . the door of
Great Britain, the feeling against the
British has become intense. Is being
charged that the British are furnishing
money to bring about a revolution.
Cossacks, while dispersing a crowd of
strikers at 4 p. m. drew their swords and
wounded several men.
Work has been suspended at the works
of the Belgian Electrical company, which
furnishes the majority of the electrical
supply of St. Petersburg.
Father Gopon Disappears.
6:17 p. m. The lower section, of the
Nevsky Prospect, Including the Winter
Palace district and the quarter where the
embassies are located, Is In darkness and
there has been a resumption of the panicky
feeling of yesterday. Nevertheless the
authorities express Increasing confidence
that the backbone of the strike Is broken
and that all the prominent agitators and
many extreme liberals have been arrested.
Father Gopon has disappeared and Is said I
to be In Moscow directing the strike there.
For the moment the men here are without
a plan of action and are seemingly com
mencing to realize that without arms It Is
folly to resist the troSps. If the strikers
are paralysed there Is general fear that
the revolutionists and terrorists, who are
coming to the front, will begin a reign of
bomb throwing and that the political
exiles' association, known as the "Illegal
Red Cross," wll make large contributions.
There Is no truth In the report circulat
ing that strikers, 30.000 strong, are march
ing upon Kolplne, twenty miles from St.
Petersburg, for the purpose of seizing the
small arms' factory there.
ARMED REVOLT LIKELY TO FOLLOW,

VIENNA. Jan. 24. The famous Russian
law expert,' Prof. Reussner, leader of Uib
liberal movement In. Russia, declares he is
convinced that an armed revolt must fol

tain to have accumulated weapons and
bombs and part of the army is certain to
fraternize with the population. The regi
ments of the guard ore not reliable. The
professor knows of one regiment of life

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Ordinaries to Changs Henri for Cloiiig
Saloons in Omaha.
I BIBULOUS TO HAVE LONGER AT NIGHT
Elmmaa Offers a Bill to Make (he
Dry Time from 1 Till 5 Instead
f from 12 to 4 as
Sow.
The time during which a man may legally
assuage his longing for something stronger
than soda water may be extended one hour
toward the dawn past midnight, to be re
newed again at & Instead of 4 o'clock. If an
ordinance Introduced at the city council
meeting Inst night passes. The measure
proposes to require saloons closed on Sun
days and between the hours of 1 and 5 In
the morning on week days. In place of mid
night and 4 o'clock, which has been the
local law for years past. Violators are to
be punished by the old fine of $1(K). The only
other change the amending ordinance,
makes Is to make It the duty of the chief
of police to report to the police board each
month the saloons running without a
license. Instead of the saloons operating
with licenses, as he hap to do at present.
President Ztmmftn brought in the ordi
nance. "It's for the benefit of the public
not at the behest of the liquor Interests,1
ho said m response to the question. "The
public, or St le(st a share of It, prefers to
be shut ofT from Its privileges at 1 o ciock
In the morning rather. than at midnight.
The change does not conflict with the Blo
cumb law."
'9naltary' Ire.
Another new ordinance, designed to pro
tect the city from Impure Ice, was intro
duced by Councilman Nicholson. It re
quires that any one or a firm or corpora
tion wishing to "cut, store, harvest or pack
away" Ice from water In the city or out
ride, or to store It In Omaha, or to sell or
permit It to be sold here, must first apply
to the health commissioner for a permit
granting the privilege. Application must
be made In writing, describing fully the
body of water and its location that is to be
used. As soon as ice forms the health com
missioner must have a "sanitary" test
made of a sample of the Ice, which if found
Impure and dangerous to public health
shall cause him to refuse to give the per
mit. Costs of the tests are to be paid by
the applicant and the license may be re
voked at any time by the commissioner for
cause. Violations are to be penalized by
fines ranging from 160 to $100.
Paylngr for Sidewalks.
A new question regarding sidewalk con
struction was raised by a resolution offered
by Councilman Hoye proposing to limit to
after January 1 only the application of an
other resolution governing tha Issue of war
rants to pay for the sidewalks. The first
resolution was adopted January 10 and was
prepared by Assistant City Attorney Herd
man. It required that the warrants should
be drawn against the particular levy
against the property affected by the ap
provement and not against a general fund
created by all the sidewalk levies.
After a long debate H'oye withdrew the
amending resolution- and It' will be consid
ered by the council In general committee
session, ,. .
"The original resolution Is for the pur
pose of protecting the city and enabling
the legal department to protect the general
taxes and to fight suits resisting the levy,"
said Assistant 'Attorney Herdman. "When
a number of sidewalk levies were consid
ered' by tire soimctt some time ago a num
ber of prsperty'ow'ners Appeared, protest
ing against ithe assessments. ' They an
nounced thst rtHej( expected to take the
cases Into, .court on the ground that the
streets pn, which many sidewalks were
laid were not at. grade when the walks
were put .down. I know personally that
many walks have been built upon earth
embankments or sunk depressions on
streets that were once brought to grade,
but which were fvorn away or raised hlgle r
than the grade lines at the timo of the
walk bulldliuj- .... ,
Why Move Is Made..
. "Whether the courts will decide that
the charter means tho city can order walks
on streets' that - have onco been brought
to grade and enforce tho payment of spe
cial taxes, or whothur It will hold that
the entire street must be at grade when
tho walks arc put down, we do not know.
We do know that a number of property
owners huve threatened to question the
validity of the taxes on these grounds.
I am aware that in each case the city
attorney's office has certified that the
streets were brought to grade, but the con
tract with the firms that built the walks
sets forth explicitly that they shall put
down no walks except on streets at grade.
If mistakes har been made, tho respon
sibility should reft with them as any child
could see the streets wero not at grade
In the cases involved. The question is,
presuming the courts decided In favor of
tho plaintiffs, whether as a matter of
equity the loss should be sustained by the
contractors or by the general body of tax
payers who-haw no interest in the side
walks and uro not concerned. Provided,
the court 'sustains 'the city, then no con
tractor will lose any mom y. He is secured,
as hla contract says he shall be, by the
levy against etuh yartlculur piece of
property.'1; , ' ' ' '
Streets' ut ' rale.
Counclluaeli Nloholsoii aad Huntington
expressed tha -Opinion that a street once
brought to irratife' was presumed to be "at"
grade for. ad thm5 afterward, and Assist
ant Engineer -Craig said this was the view
that had 'always been taken by the en
gineering department, Board of Public
Works and'Cbntractors.
Contractor Yancey of the Omaha Con
struction company protested agaitiRt tho
proposed manner of drawing warrants,
and said they would not sell for nearly as
much as those Issued against the general
sidewalk lervy fund. He dtclared the orders
of the engineering department had been
followed In every case and asserted that
the terms of tho contract prevented the
Issue warrants In tho way Assistant At
torney Herdman proposed.
Authority was given by vt solution to
Market Muster Qerke to sell stalls f.ir the
new Howaid street market February 11 at
10 o'clock in the morning.
Plans drawn by W. T. Mistier for the
new fire engine station on Twenty-fourth
near Coming street were accepted and the
architect engaged to supervise the con
struction of the building on a commiaslon
of per cent of the construction price.

trials, though I think It has not scted
altogether right, I sympathise with it."
Enjoys Good Health.
General Thayer says he still enjoys good
health. He attributes his longevity to tem
perate living. t
"I never engaged In dissipation," he says
"and even now am very cautious and reg
ular In my mode of living. I know I shall
have to go soon, but I enjoy life, and while
ready when the summons comes, I am not
brooding over the thought at all."
The general, being short of stature and
thick-set, with a round face covered with
grey beard and a head still covered with
hair, does not really look, so far as actual
appearances go, like 85 years old. He Is a
delightful conversationalist, with his un
fathomable fund of knowledge. His voice
is fairly strong, his grasp upon events good
and his diction superb.
The old gentleman enjoys friendships.
"One of the very first men I met when 1
came outhere from Boston In 1S51." srtld
he, "was Dr. George U Miller of Omahn.
We met at Council Bluffs and have been
staunch friends ever since. We helped lay
out and build Omaha, where he still lives
and where I lived until some years ago. I
wish you would tell the good doctor that I
am going to call on him in the spring, II I
possible. He and I have seen this state
grow from an empty prairie to a great
commonwealth, filled with prosperity, and I
want to talk over with him once more the
events of the memorable past."
EDISON UNDER THE KNIFE
Noted Electrician Is Operated I'pon
(or Mnstold Abscess Near
Ills Brain.
NEW YORK, Jan. 24. A critical surgical
operation has been performed on Thomas A.
Kdlson at his home In Orange, N. J. Great
secrecy wsa maintained by the family in
regard to the affair and few details could
be learned. The operation was for a mas
told abscess behind the ear and very close
to ths brain.
As Is generally known, the inventor has
been deaf for many years, and the afflic
tion has been growing worse. He has been
suffering considerably Jor a week, and the
matter of an operation was broached sev
eral days sgo, but there was strong hope
that It might be avoided. It developed,
however, that while Mr. Edison was better
In many particulars, the growth was not
yielding to the treatment, and the conclu
sion was reached that the operation would
have to be performed at once. It was be
gun late last night and was not finished un
til an early hour this morning, having oc
cupied more than two hours.
Mr. Edison, who Is 67 years of age, re
mained up and about until a few hours
before the operation began.
Thomas A. Edison was recovering rapidly
today from the operation performed last
night for mastoid abscess behind his left
ear. Owing to a similar trouble a few
years ago tho operation was difficult, but
the doctors declared It was entirely suc
cessful. Mr. Edison recovered quickly and
Was In good spirits today. The doctors say
they expect an uninterrupted recovery.

FAITH IS HIE THING NEEDED
By it Man Moves Through Life aiid Comes
Into Glory.
NECESSARY TO 0U.. DAILY EXISTENCE
Not lltimnte Snivnliun Alone, but
Man's Hourly Walk In Life
Depends on Ills Be
liefs. Despite the extreme cold thirty people
gathered In Castellar Street Presbyterian
church lust night for the evangelical serv
ice conducted by Rev. Mr. Klrschstcln ot
North Side Christian church. For a sub
ject he chose the fundamentallty of faith
In the holy religion. ,
"It Is sometimes said the conditions ot
faith and salvation are arbitrary," said Mr.
Klrchsteln. "This Is not true. Most things
we do in the world are not through knowl
edge, but by faith. As the Uible says,
'Faith Is the substance of things hoped for
and the evidence of things not seen.' Fulth
Is fundamental. The gospel says without It
It is impossible to please Qod. We ought
to recognize the importance of faith It Is
baste. Thus it Is with the farmer who sows
In faith, the business man and the profes
sional men they work for the future In
faith. We walk by faith and not by sight
In the things of the world. So also wltn
religion. We must nnd do walk by faith
nnd not by sight. We believe others havt
been able to follow the way and so wo obey
the command of Jesus Christ and fall Into
the way. And so we come In time to see
our duty more clearly as w go.
"Th value of faith depends on Its ob
ject. Faith determines character; character
determines destiny. We havo atheism and
ye have on tho other hand unpardonable
credulity. Atheism Is untenable a man
must be a god himself, omnipotent, to know
there Is a god nowhere. l'npardonuhl
credulous arc people who take up with
every port of Ism; constantly changing. The
doctrinal appetite Is wonderful.
'The safe course Is the golden mean.
What Is the substance of our belief? Faith
Is not a particular doctrine. It Is a person,
the l ord and fimior, J. sus Christ. The
personality of Clod's son Is the center ana
essence of faith. The question is not in
what but In whom I believe."
