RUSSIAN PRISONS ARE OVERFLOWING Now That Revolutionists Art Cowed, the Military Arm Is Bolder Than Ever. _ 'STRIKE RIGHT AND LEFT _ Detectives Watch All Agitators and Attend Meetings of Strikers to Arrest Ringleaders—Revolu tion at an End. St. Petersburg, Jan. 3.—The policy of depressing revolutionists continues f.vith a vengeance. Their announcement that they proposed to carry on a guer illa warfare until a general armed re volt is prepared has stimulated the government to redouble its energy. A band of terrorists is at work here and^ last night there were wholesale searches for suspects. City prisons tvere so crowded that hundreds of pris oners have been removed to neighbor ing fortresses. Government spies are at work among Workmen and revolutionary societies, with instructions J.o give warnings of meetings, which are immediately sur rounded, the members searched for | lirms and ringleaders arrested. Nevertheless, the workmen’s council and the executive committee of the social revolutionists are managing to evade arrest and are meeting each day at a different place in the outskirts of the city. Patrols are understood to have orders not to spare bullets if they are attacked by persons using bombs or revolvers. Tells How He Did It. An interview with Governor General Doubassoff Is printed today in which he explains the duration of the revolt is owing to the extent of the region in which military forces are operating and’ to lack of troops, which compels Dou bassoff to await reinforcements from Warsaw and St. Petersburg before giv ing the revolutionists their death blow. “The most difficult task,’’ the gov ernor continued, "was to drive them from their base on Kazan railroad be tween Moscow and Perovo, three miles past of Moscow, and surround them in the Presna district so as to prevent their escape. Both these tasks were successfully accomplished. "Strikers of Prokharoff mills, which held the proprietor as a hostage, were ready to surrender Friday, but Colonel Minn, who conducted the negotiations, declined to accept.’’ He would not accept their surrender unless they also delivered up the “Drujinlsts" who had sought refuge there. Doubassaff further declared emphat ically the artillery bombarded only houses from which revolutionists fired. The Revolution Elsewhere. Keinrorcements entered couriana from four sides, but leaders of the Let tish revolution are imperturable. Papers publish terrible pictures of conditions prevailing along the Si berian railway, 'Jhere are no railway officials on duty aud on sections as far as Cheliabinsk, government of Oren burg, all stations have been pillaged. Complete anarchy prevails at Irkutsk. Military trains are running without orders of proper engineers. Subduing Baltic Provinces. Riga Jan. 1.—Three policemen were killed during night. Railroad men are again threatening to strike in order to obtain release of arrested delegates. The new governor general of the Bal tic province, who is marching on this city with a large force of troops, is ex pected here Wednesday. It is reported he will exile the entire population of communities who decline to obey mar tial law. Mitau, Jan. 1.—Four columns of troops, cavalry and artillery are con verging toward Mitau and Riga. Insur gents in towns are instituting a social democratic administration as if they were in permanent possession. In the Lettish portion of the Baltic provinces (he situation is quieter. No serious outbreak occurred recently. .Troops are pursuing revolutionary bands from Dvalk and Dvins. Tb ■ revolutionary movement is •spreading in northern Livonia, where estates are being attacked. . Witte May Have to Go, St. Petersburg, Jan. 1.—The rej>ort that Count Witte is booked for retire ment in a few days is again being per sistently circulated. The Nasha Shisn, which declares it pan guarantee the accuracy of its state • ment, says that M. Durnovo, minister of the interior, who Is worshiped as an ideal by the court camarilla, which believes that his stern policy alone can put an end to the existing anarchy, has accomplished the downfall of the count and will be elevated in the pre miership. Investigation by the Associated Press, however, Indicaes that the report is baseless, certainly for the moment. Nevertheless, it is true that M. Dur novo has a powerful cabal of reaction aries behind him and temporarily seems to dominate the situation, r M. Mankkin, whose sudden retire ment from the ministry of justice (in whicli he is succeeded by M. Akynoff, a Vnember of the senate), created a stir, resigned, according to the Molva (Russ) rather than submit to M. Durnovo's dictation in matters which he regarded ,.s ncing strictly within the sphere of his ministry. Liberals Also Assail Him. Cn the other hand Count Witte is \ ing attacked more fiercely than ever' ■n the,side of the liberals, who charge "Cat he is showing the cloven hoof, and say that he might happen to fall between the two stools. M. Brianchianenoff is out with a strong article in the Slovo. entitled Witte Must Go," in which he asserts that the victory at Portsmouth has been followed by defeat at St. Peters burg. His line of argument is that an archy has been able to make headway because true liberals doubt whether Russia is to have a constitution, or whether the manifesto is only a tactical move to lull them to sleep. It was Witte’s first duty, according to the writer, to remove this doubt, hut it is charged that he still maintains an equivocal roie. Twenty Soldiers Killed. Elizabeth Grad, Russia., Jan. ].—A Collision involving two military trains "occurred today and twenty soldiers ■were killed. ; Odessa, Jan. 1.—The governor general has ordered inhabitants of this city to ikeep inside their houses and to lock ■the doors, holding householders respon sible for any firing from their prem ises.

LIFE areat Leader Who Has Withstood Fire of Insurance Investigation, Resigns His Fosition. New York. Jan. 3.—The Times say. today: It was made known last night upon excellent authority that John A. McCall resigned on Saturday the presi dency of the New York Life Insur ance company. The resignation was re-, luctantly acepted by the trustees. Official announcement of the resigna tion has been planned by the trustees to be made next Tuesday when the an nual statement is to be made public. McCall last night would not reply to a request that he confirm the report of his resignation. In his letter of resignation. President McCall said that after long and careful consideration he had felt it best to take such step. In the months dur ing which the insurance controversy has affected the New York life, he said, his peace of mind had suffered from continuous misunderstanding and mis representation of his actions and distor tion of facts and misquotation of his utterances by newspapers. He was not in good health now and felt it would be best for himself and company if he resigned the presidency. Protests were made by several trus tees against receiving tlie resignation and there was evidently a desire on the part of these trustees that McCall should still retain the presidency, de spite demands from outside the com pany for his deposition. It was made plain to these trustees, however, that McCall would abide by his resignation and it was then ac cepted, with appropriate expressions of regret. All trustees were pledged to secrecy until Tuesday next. John Claflin, the dry goods merchant, who is trustee of the New York Life, has frequently been spoken of as McCall's successor, but It Is by no means certain that Clafln will accept the office. McCall, It is understood, intends to leave town after Tuesday next to take a long rest. It is not improbable he will go to Eu "one for a while. DEMANDS CITY YIELD. Morales, Fugitive President of San Domingo, Appears Off Puerto Plata with a Gun Boat. Puerto Plata, San Domingo, Jan. 3.—‘ The Dominican gunboat Independencia has anchored off Puerto Plata. Her commander has demanded that the, town surrender to the legitimate gov ernment of President Morales within twenty-four hours, otherwise he will bombard the town. The gunboat has landed troops safely. Washington, Jan. 1.—Advices received by cable from San Domingo state there is little probability of bombardment of Puerto Plata by the gunboat Inde pendencia. The United States warships Nashville and Scorpion are in the harbor and ne gotiations are in progress which makes it probable that both factions of the Dominicans will be warned to make their fight outside of the town if they desire to fight at all. Seems Very Serious. Washington, D. C.. Jan. 1.-—The la'.esv advices received at the state and ravy departments from San Domingo are mainly corroborative of the press dis patches from the island and show that while conditions are unsettled, all is quiet. As viewed in official circles here, the situation is serious and me ueue. w. pressed that a clash of the contending interests is probable. From the tone of the dispatches it is evident that both sides are anxious there shall be no interference with American interests and that their prop erty and other rights shall not be Jeopardized as a result of internal trou bles. They also show that telegrams from various portions of the island are being subjected to censorship. Turks' Island, Bahamas, West In dies, Jan. 1.—Mail advices from Monte Cristi, San Domingo, say that General Perez, governor of Puerto Plata, has surrendered to the revolutionists in Monte Cristi. They also say that the Dominican cruiser Independencia, load ed with ammunition, has been given up to General Deschamps, who, with Generals Demetrio and Rodriguez, has left for Puerto Plata with 250 men on board. General Barba, with 200 men, is in Altimora, a village fifteen miles from Puerto Plata. MURDERERS CONFESS ALL Prominent Business Man of Denver Was Victim of Boys.

GIVE THEM NO MERCY Workmen Who Offer to Surrender It Granted Immunity, Are Ruthless ly Attacked and Forced to Yield Anyway. Moscow, Jan. 2.—White flags flying from a dozen factories in the tenement houses in the Presna district, where the revolutionaries made their stand, j now bear mute witness to the end of ! the "December uprising in Moscow." tThe entire district is now occupied by troops. During the night the vast majority of members of the "lighting legions’’ | either surrendered, or, after throwing ] away their arms, endeavored to escape In the guise of peaceful citizens. Only the members who acted as a guard to the revolutionary committee stuck toi their colors and the surrender of this ; handful this morning furnished the last act of the sanguinary drama. The staging of this last act was ad mirable—a snow covered landscape, the small black residence with a tiny red flag fluttering from its gable, the end of Gorbatoff bridge, black with the guns of the artillery, and the thin en circling line of the Seminovsky regi ment of guard broken only directly in the line of fire. Suddenly there was a flash of red fire from the mouth of one of the guns Lnd a solid shot plowed through the walls of the house. A few spluttering phots replied from a window. The can jion spoke again and again until a dozen shots had been fired. It looked like murder to the spectators on a hill | Lnd so evidently thought the officers in command of the battery, which ceased fire. A reserve company of the Semi novsky regiment then advanced and fired volleys at the upper windows. At the third volley a white handker chief attached to a bayonet was pushed through a, shattered pane. It waved frantically and all was over. The little garrison of thirty marched out and laid down their arms, a strange collection of rifles and rejjeating shotguns. All had revolvers. Strange to say not one of the men ! had even been wounded, and when they found that they would not be imme diately executed they appeared to be rather relieved that the end of the struggle had come. They gathered around the soldiers’ bivouack, stretched their hands eagerly over the cheerful fires and begged cig”arets from the (guards. | The number of prisoners is being ' constantly augmented, most of the new ; arrivals being arrested at the bridges 1 or at other points of egress in the ! Presna district, which is crowded with J Refugees. The Associated Press learns that aft er {he fall of the Prokarhoff cotton ! mills and other factories a council was hastily held at which it was decided that the revolution had failed, and an order was given to every man to save himself as best he could. A hundred agreed to hold together so as to keep up a show of fight under cover of which the others could escape. St. Petersburg, Dec. 30.—In an en counter between workmen and Cos sacks yesterday, at the Nevskl ship building yards, eight Cossacks and twenty-seven workmen were killed and manv injured. Railroad trains from St. Petersburg to Moscow are not running to that city but are stopping at a station near i Tver.

CATCH “Q” IN DRAG NET Burlington Officials Aroused by Chi cago Federal Grand Jury on Rebating Charge. Chicago, Jan. 2.—The federal grand Jury late yesterday returned an Indict ment against the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, Darius Miller,’ first vice president, and C. G. Burnham, foreign freight agent, on the charge of granting railroad rebates. The indictment charges that the re bates were granted to the United States Steel Products company, of New York, a subsidiary company to the United) States Steel corporation.

O., and Joliet, III.—to Vancouver. It. C. Twenty-six separate offenses are charged. The indictment further alleges that by an agreement between the defend ants and a number of connecting rail roads a joint tariff was made and filed with the Interstate Commerce commis sion.

In all cases the United States Steel Products company was the re cipient of the money, according to the indictment.

Jan. 2.—Raymond, In a Philadelphia special to the Chicago (Tribune says: "We are bigger than the govern ment. Standard Oil is stronger than the United States. We own the sen ate and the house. If you pursue your investigations beyond the point neces sary to fool tlie public we will have you removed. We can secure tilt' instant deposition of the secretary of com merce and labor, Mr. Metcalf and the commissioner of corporations, Mr. Gar field. If you persecute us in the slight est degree you will he out of your job and if you keep at the business you will find out that what we say is ab solutely true.” This is the kind of talk which has been handed out to the agents of the 'government at every slage In the game. The first tiling they learned was that tlie Standard Oil company, as lias been truly sail of it, was a great "System.” They discovered, as I have said before, that the investigation of the beef trust was merely child’s play as com li.ired with an Inquiry into the opera tions of the Standard Oil company. Standard’s Secret Service. ■' Agents of the government were con fronted at the outset by evidence of ■tlie existence of extraordinary secret f (machinery of the Standard oil com I 'pany. They discovered that it covers I the United States and probably extends (nto foreign countries. It was organ ized and operated in the first place for ithe express purpose of preventing job bers and retailers from cutting prices. Contracts exist between the Standard fill company and various subsidiary Companies and private firms for the [disposal of the product of tlie united 'corporation. Government agents have shown and have so reported to the secretary of commerce and labor that whoever sells 'a shade oft tlte market price is invaria ,bly caught and punished according to the code of the "system.” Government Thwarted. This secret service is said to be more far-reaching than anything which has ever been known before in this country. For a while they were stu Ipefled and frightened by its threats. At tlie outset it was discoveerd that (this extraordinary secret service of the | 'Standard Oil, which permeated every | city and state, was in the beginning or | Iganized for the sole purpose of pre | venting dangerous competition. Later on it was diverted to other directions and the agents of the government real ized that they were up against a sys tem, which, although organized to pre vent the cutting of rates, could be used I jto stifle evidence, to pack juries, to cor 1 J-upt minor officials, to divert public sen timent and ultimately to prevent crim inal prosecution. 1 ' Rockefeller Is King. "Rockefeller is a bigger man than Roosevelt,” was the constant cry of the (Standard Oil people, not only in New •fork, but in Illinois, Missouri and Kap pas. ; There was a reason for this cry, and 'the secret reports of the United States agents, which I have had the pleasure of perusing, establish this fact. In tlie first place it has been shown that the Standard Oil company is the parent of i a secret service which is far and away I better and bigger than the secret ma chinery of the United States govern ment. In the second place, I have discov ered, and I believe agents of the United States government have found out the same thing, that the Standard Oil com pany has promoted the organization and existence of independent oil eom . panles which are fraudulent on their face and which are owned absolutely by the ’’system.”' I That is to say the government is now jn possession of evidence to show that "independent” oil companies have been organized in almost every big shipping center of the United States. These sup posed “independent” companies are in each ease creatures of the Standard Oil company.

LATTER SUES FOR DIVORCE _ Mrs Anna Jamison Says She Will Prosecute Husband for Bigamy —Tells Sensational Story. Omaha, Neb., Jan. 2.—A romance of the kind which would be declared pre posterous if presented on the stage, in volving the love of a wealthy widow for an ex-convlct, a romance which may yet be blighted by a suit for bigamy, lies behind the innocent looking divorce suit brought In the district court in this city by Mrs. Anna Jamison. The papers in (he case merely set forth desertion as the cause why Mrs., Jamison should be divorced from George H. Jamison. In addition to his Omaha wife there is also another woman who bears Jamison's name and therein lies a re markable story of a woman's love which scoffed at social conventions and dared all things for the sake of a mam upon whom lay the shadow of a prison. Mrs. Jamison No. 2 was the wealthy and dashing widow of the late Judge J. A. Campbell, of San Francisco. A standard-bearer of the law who had sent many men to prison—that his widow should marry an ex-convict gave added piquancy to the romance.

"Financial entanglements resulted, and my husband’s inability to meet these obligations forced him to obtain money under false pretenses, eventually placing him behind the bars in Bur lington, la. "After his release on bond my hus band became implicated in other finan cial deals in Omaha, Chicago, Kansas City. St. Joseph, Wichita and other places.

The young woman received no word ! from her husband until 1898, when lie wrote from San Francisco, announc ing that lie had enlisted in the army and would go (a the Philippines. Shortly thereafter Jamison wrote from Manila professing ids love for his de serted wife, but his missives received nq response. After the war with Spain was over Jamison returned to the United States and was arrested in California, charged with the theft of $100 from F. M. Black, a Pullman car conductor. Jamfson protested his innocence, but on trial was convicted and sentenced to San Quentin prison for eighteen months. Owing to good behavior dur ing his Incarceration he was dis charged in August of this year. How He Met New Love. After the prison doors were opened for Jamison he went to Berkeley, Cal., where he attracted the attention of Judge Campbell's widow. She knew of the ex-convict's San Quentin career, but believed him to be innocent of the crime for which he had been sen tenced, and that he was no doubt the victim of circumstances and man’s enmity. On November 27 the former convict was wedded to the judge's widow, startling the society on the Pacific coast in which she was a prominent figure. Jamison and his new wife are at present owners and are managing a large mission furniture establishment in Berkeley, Cal., the business being financed by the money of the woman. Divorco Revealed Scandal. Affairs on the Pacific coast, so far as Jamison was concerned, were pro gressing without an obstacle until his wife began divorce proceedings. In some manner Jamison was apprised of this action and he hurried to Omaha, telling his California wife, it Is said, that he had business of importance to look after in Chicago. Upon his arrival in Omaha Jamison visited his first wife and pretended that he desired her to return to Cali fornia.
