UlNDON, Dec. 21. The Dally Telegraph a
HI. Petersburg correspondent, describing
the fight at Moscow, says:
"The first shot were fired by the revo
lutionaries on the troops outside the Fld

revolutionaries were given one hour In
which to surrender. Fifty-five minutes h
passed and the commander of the troops
wa about to give tho order to. fire, when a

Immediately replied.
"Boon a while handkerchief was waved
from a window. The troops entered, but
were greeted with rifle fire, and they re
tired and again bombarded the house.
Shortly aftewaid a whit, flag was again
waved and the surrender of the revolu

of three, ten and hundreds would sally
forth, be driven back, and rally again
against the enormous odds, eager to ac
complish the Impossible. Early In the
evening the hospital were filled and pri
vate dwelling houses were crowded with
th wounded.
"The principal thoroughfare, the Tvers

In tha streets and rifles are stacked on
the pavement.
Defeat for Anarchy.
i'nrn all this needlesa effusion of
Mood, In old Moscow the people were
shopping, vlsltlnpr and otherwise earning
on the ordinary occupations a If nothing
in particular were going on.
"Yesterday's doings marked the most
Important manifestation of Russian an
archy, and will prove, as tha anarchists
assert, decisive. Ho far as one can Judge,
they will end" In the complete defeat of
th anarchist, who will be silenced In
Russia for several years.
"There Is still hope that a popular re
actionary movement may be avoided, but
the wrath of the peasants is waxing strong.
"In the station at Telna, on the Kleff A
Voronexh line, entire families of railway
officers and strikers have been literally cut
to pieces by Infuriated peasants, and there
is other cumulative evidence of a determi
nation on the part of the peasants to
oppose the strikers.
"The anarchists have not dislodged the
government. Imprisoned Tremler Witt) or
deposed the emperor, but they have struck
a deadly and wanton blow at the empire.
Already hungry band are pillaging wher
ever they can. At the station of Ntcolieff,
on the Kazan railway, they looted fifteen

Chrlatmastid.
"An ukase will be published In a day or
two embodying the new electoral law and
nlng a date for the elections to the

pressed against the government for failure
to adopt repressive measure against the

IMPRESSION OF YANKEE WOMEN
Helen Tells Londoners What II
Thinks of Those of Many
Lands.
LONDON, Dec. 34. (Special Cablegram to
Tlie Bee.) Prof. Emll Reich ha been en
tertaining Londoners with his impressions
of American women. According to the
statements of Dr. Reich the American
woman must be "fearfully and wonderfully
made."
Here are some of the conclusions of Dr.
Reich:
In America the woman governs the man
absolutely. In a certain sense the last man
that came to America was Christopher Co
lumbus. The American woman lives for what she
calls "a good time." Her interest is not
man nor what is noblest In men paternity.
Her ambition Is to study spiritualism, then
Buddhism, then wireless telegraphy and
then the novels of Marie Corelll.
I What characterises thu French woman la
that ahsulute assertion of her energv, not
so much of her will for she Is easily yield
ing. The German woman Is a combination
of the English and French, but in Prussia
the greatest worker la the new woman, who
Is no woman.
In Ireland woman is as beautiful as she
Is dangerous; she is attractive, with a cer
tain pilmness. The Russian woman knows
fifteen languages: she can play all instru
ments; mIib has read everything but she 1
nut a woman. ,
It is not a protective tariff that will sav
J the empire, ft Is the woman and the man.
: You. will in vain search history for a great
nun who has not been Influenced b;
by a
great woman.

JOHANNKSBCRO. Dec. S4. (Special Ca
blegram to The Bee.) The mayor's ban
quet, at which Lord Belbourne and Sir Ar
thur Lawley were present, served as an
occasion for Johannesburg to bid farewell
to the lieutenant governor. The banquet
appeared to Indicate that th people of
Johannesburg were grateful to Sir A.
Lawley for embodying in on of his last
speeches in th colony a vigorous defense
of Chinese labor. His hearers found espe
cial satisfaction in hla remark that If th
clock wer set back and th labor diffi
culty arose again he would have no hesita
tion in advocating the importation of Chi
nes. He urged that tlier should b consistency
in dealing with the question. Those who
opposed it on moral ground must claim
th suppression of Indentured labor in all
other British ooloules, or if they maintained
that It was prejudicial they must eject all
natives from th mines, for the Chines
merely supplemented natlv labor.

WASHINGTON. Dec. M.-No feature of
th export trade of the Cnlted States In

j trade with China and Japan, says a bul
j letln Issued by the Bureau of Statistics of
j the Department of Commerce and tobor.
In the ten months ended with October ex

$22.ofln,ono for the same period In lflol and
$l.1o9.onn In the corresponding months of
tioj. No other countries of the world to
which our exports are sent how gains
approximating tho of China and Japan.
The growth In exports to China from the
United States Is especially marked In- cop
per, cotton cloth, flour, sewing machines,
locomotives, paper, canned beef, manufac
tures of tobacco and lumber, though cot
ton cloth and copper are by far the most
Important of these item.
To Japan the growth occurred in flour,
carriages and other vehicle, raw cotton,
electrical ' machinery, sewing machine',
locomotive, leather, paper, canned beef,
tobacco and lumber.
Cotton cloth export to China In the ten
month ending with October aggregated
In value $.40R.4oO. against ls.W7.WT in the
same months of llHt. Copper exports to
China are comparatively a new fcatur of
our trade with that country, the amount
In the ten months ending with October
having been IIUW.SOT, against $611,677 In the
same months of last year.
Floor Shorn a Decrease.
The copper I used In making new copper
coin. Flour Is about the only Important
article of export to China showing any
material reduction this year, while manu
factured tobacco shows a material increase.
Cotton exports to Japan for the ten
ten months ended with October aggregated
In vkluo $13.784,3P, against $2,716,529 last
year. American cotton Is popular with the
Japanese spinners because It haa a long
staple, but the cotton grown In India and
China, which has a shorter staple. Is con
siderably less In price, and in the years of
high prices of cotton In the Cnited States
Japan purchases little cotton In this coun
try, but draws largely on India and China.

LONDON, Dec. it. (Special Cablegram to
The R.-e.) Explorations In Africa arc
rapidly destroying the romantic features of
the Dark Continent. One of the latest dis
coveries of romantic literary Interest Is
that made by A. T. Angell In British East
Africa. While engaged in the survey of
J.ake Nalvasha find Its caves he found the
hitherto unknon-n outlet of this fresh water
lake emptying Into a lnrge auhterrapenn
river. Lake Nalvasha lies about lft) mile
east of Lake Victoria Nyanza and Is at .in
altitude of 8,001) feet.
The Interesting feature of the entire dis
covery is found In the fact that readers of
Rider Haggard's story, "Allan Quater
main," will at once recognlaa the locality.
Nalvasha la the lake with the marvelous
caves which are described In the chapters
which narrate the hero' plunge Into the un
known In scaich for the mysterious whlto
race the grtifsoine incident by which the
caves were discovered, now the native ser
vant Wekwafl dived Into the lake and was
"ucked with l rightful rapidity through the
arch that gav entrance to the mysterious
river" and how his corpse followed the
canoe throughout Its subterranean passage.
The prophetic feature of the novel.
"Allan Quatermaln." arc those which must
Inevitably attiact attention In thU connect,
tlon, since Mr. Haggard then offered In
romance the iiolutlon of the lake outl"t
which is now eubalnntlatcd by fact.
MONKS DIE IN THEIR CELLS
Ureal Los to Art by Keasttn of
Knrthtiaake on Mosul
Atlios.
ATHENS. Dec. 24. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) According to advice received
here the Mount At I. oh earthquake was fur
more serious than at first reported. It is
believed that incalculable damage has been
done to the Kyzautliie art treasuries in the
various monasteries. The shocks, which
were extremely violent, occurred iu the
night, and the darkness only served to
Intensify the panic among the monks. Not
one of the monasteries escaped without
serious Injury. In one, three chapels were
completely destroyed and another chapel,
the library, th bell tower and the meeting
hall were much damaged. The church of
the monastery, which was con.uidered a
masterpiece of Byzantine art, has been
cracked In several places and a great num
ber of the cells have been rendered unin
habitable. Others have suffered nearly as
much, and iu particular the chapel of St.
Michael, which ws famous for the rich
ness of its decorations, is now only a heap
of ruins.
It Is known that at least ten of the monks
perished In their rells because of rocks
falling from the mountains 'fid it is be
lieved that more were killed. The shocks
were not confined to the colony of the
monks. Houses in a dozen villages in the
districts affected were destroyed, leaving
the natives without shelter.
