Admits Robbery Committed '
In Midland Hotel. ' -;.
The report of a revolver and the scurry
ing of policemen created consternation
among the crowds of Christmas shoppers
at the corner of Douglas and South Fif
teenth streets at t:16 last night, when, fol
lowing an attempted holdup of Julius Lund,
Sl Karbaeh block, Peter Jewell, aged II,
formerly bellboy at the vPaxton hotel,
rushed to the street snd fired a revolver at
his pursuers, but fortunately without ef
fect. When Lund entered his office he found
Jewell ransacking the room. In answer to
a question as to what he was doing there,
the latter drew a revolver and pointed It
at Lund and demanded that he hold up his
hands. This, however, Lund refused to do,
but Inntead grappled with tho robber and
waa getting the best of him when he re
ceived a blow over the head from the fire
arm, cutting a gash In his scalp. Jewell
then slid out of his coat and sprang
through the door, down the stairway to the
street, pursued by. Fra.uk Bilger and 8. Q.
Klmore, who had been attracted by tha
noise.
Gsining the sidewalk, the youthful bandit
turned and taking deliberate aim fired point
blank at the crowd behind him, but without
effect. The shot and cries of "Murder" at
tracted the attention of Detectives Ferris
and Dunn and Officer Jackson, who also
Joined in the chase, and before many ateps
had been taken the plain clothes men auc-
ceeded in capturing the fleeing youth. The
I patrol was culled and Jewell was taken to
the station.
After being placed In a cell, he was ques
tioned by Captain llaxe and readily con
fessed to having hlld up and robbed Charles
Schotleld, a guest at the Midland hotel, In
the letter's room, having enticed him to
the door by saying that he had a telegram
for him. and then presenting a revolver and
demanding his money. He denied, however,
that he had anything to do with the similar
crimes at the Murray and Paxton hotela.

Anthorltlea, Ita Owners Helng
Charged mltn Shipping
ntlve Workmen.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2u.-The State de
partment has received some hitter com
plaints from American owners of fishing
vessels against the Newfoundland officials
for Interfering with what they regard aa
thtlr treaty rights to fish within New
foundland territorial waters. Only a few
days since an American fishing smack waa
seized at a Newfoundland port. Several
months ago It had. it is alleged, shipped
some Newfoundlanders from the bay
Islands. The American ship owners felt
that this was an Infraction of their right
to play their vocation In these waters as
guaranted by treaty. '
The Stat department hag been exchang
ing notes on this subject with the British
government and ho far there has been no
friction between 'the two governments,
though natnratly tha American fishermen
nd tha local Newfoundland authorities
have at times shown some heat. The State
department has not . been able to make
direct issue with the Newfoundlanders In
respect to their rlsjit to 'make It a pun
ishable offense to ship Newfoundlanders
within their own waters. It Is not quite
clear, however, whether, while admitting
the right of the Newfoundland authorities
to punish their own people who ship on an
American vessel in violation of local law.
It is prepared to concur the amenability to
Newfoundland law of American skippers
who ship such men.
BRIEF 9RSMIOX OF Tlir. SENATE
Senator f'oraker Has Records Dhow
Argument Against Rate Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-When the sen
ate met today Mr. Foraker obtained leave
to have printed the record In a number of j
caea recently before the Interstate Com- 1
merce commission Involving charges of
discrimination In beef Shipments. Ho said
that after taking cognisance of the cases j
the commission had not reached Its conclu- i
slon for Rlmost three years, whereas the
United States court for the northern dls-
trict of Illinois had taken the matter up '
and reached a final decision within five
or six month. - '
The matter had been introduced, he said,
for the purpose of showing that the ex-
Istlng law affords a remedy for many of
the evils of which complaint Is made and
also to show thftt there Is greater celerity
In the courts than In the Interstate Com
merce commission. The court had, hb said,
reversed the finding of the commission and j
ha said that If the commission's decision j
fiad gone Into Immediate effect the com
pany would have suffered a wrongful loss
it W.000,000. The senate went Into cxecu

strike was successfully Inaugurated and
Is spreading rapidly. Evan the electrlo

Doubasoff has declared tbe city to b in a
partial state of siege, which gives the civil
authorities exceptional powers of arrest,

cedes civil power, it Is expected that the
Inauguration of the strike here tomorrow
will be followed by a similar measure,
but if the situation becomes worse, as an

The provincial authorities have already

at St. Petersburg

Prof. Milukoff, leader of the constitu

last despairing appeal to the proletariat
organlxatlons against a general strike, de
daring his belief that it could not succeed
and inevitably would lead to repression and
perhaps to great bloodshed, which might
be fatal to the whole emancipation move-

ernment suffered by reason of the political
agitation, and particularly the recent pro-
letarlat manifesto In which the bankruptcy
of the government waa trumpeted.
"I do not seek to conceal the fact," tho
minister aald, "that the movement has
mode Itself felt among us. Coming on the
head of our recent war, it could not be
otherwise. Out don't think fur a moment
that we experience any alarm or anxiety.
"How often have you seen a young and
sturdy organism prostrated by Illness
which has been Insidiously creeping on?
Have you not often noticed how an 111
man. aided by a robust constitution,
throws off a malady, and. after convales
cence, emerges from the sick room
stronger and more capable than ever?
"That la tbe position of Russia just now.
The illness Is in no way fatal, nor will
the convalescence be protracted. I cannot
say exactly when the patient will be able
to get out of doors, but rest assured It
will not die. The medicsl attendants are
absolutely sure of that.
"The revolutionary party has been trying
to make capital out of the alleged Im
pending bankruptcy of the government,
but it la going top far to apply the word
bankruptcy to the government of a great
country like Russia.
"I authorize you to state positively that
the Russiun treasury is In no difficulty
nor do we foresee any possibility of finan
cial trouble.
"The revolutionist make a atrong point
of having touched a weak spot by en
deavoring to bring about a general boy
cott of vodka. That k another of their
random statements. To show you how un
founded it is, just look hire."
Opening his portfolio, the minister pulled
out a document showing the result to the
treasury of the spirit monopoly for tha
period from January 1 to November 30,
1SOC. Actual income from that source ex
ceeded by more lhan SG.ton.ivn the amount
estimated in the budget for 1906.
"Now you can Judg," continued M.
ShlpofT, "how wild is the assertion of our
opponents."
"Great uneaainess prevails abroad among
commercial circles Interested In Russian
business," was suggested.
"That, unfortunately. Is only too true
replied the minister, "and no doubt it will
take time to dUpel the mistrust, but you
will see that confidence will speedily be
restored."
