Four Cossacks were The St. Peicrsburg correspondent of the London Times says he hears the Government has privately informed the labor leaders that if January 22nd. the anniversary of “Bloody Sunday." passed quietly, repressive measures will be sus- pended lhe next day. He odds that the Council of the Empire has commenced the discussion; of new regulations for the suppression of the popular uprising. The minority favors the preliminary use of blank cartridges, but the majority thinks this would only cmbolden mobs and load to greater bloodshed otter- wards. The whole police force of Si. Pelersburg will be armed with rilles shortly.

A despatch from Riga, Livonia says: News has just reached this city of a dar- ing attempt of the rovolutionists to cap- ture a military train conveying a large sum of money from St. Peiersburg lo Libau. A band of revolutionists having advance information gathered at [lozen- poii, burned two bridges and tore up the track. Two companies of infantry which were escorting the train left the cars and were joined by a detachment of dragoons. This force marched against the i‘evolulionists, who, from behind improvised defences. opened fire on the soldiers. The infantry, after [ir- ing'lwo volleys, which killed 65 and wounded nearly 100 of the revolution- isls. charged with the bayonet, and the dragoons completed the rout by sabring the rex'olutiqnisls they overtook. M. Kokovsteif, Minister of Finance. in submitting the budget to the Council of the Empire. pointed out that there was a deficit of about 480000.000 roubles ($240,000,000), due to the non-inclusion oi the war expenses in last year‘s esti- mates. This must be met with a loan. The Minister admitted that the finances of the country 11an been shaken by the war and the internal crisis, but he was confident they would be restored if the disorders ended. He announced that this would be the last budget to be ex- amined solely by the Council, as the Douma would be hereafter empowered 1-) coâ€"operate in examining it. t - Count Witte's secretary has telegraph- ed to Moscow, contradicting a statement that the Czar would swear to observe the constitution.

A despatch from Chicago says: Mrs. Bessie Hollistcr, wife of Franklin C. Hollister of Hollister Brothers, one of the largest printing concerns in this city, was murdered on Friday night by Rich- ard Ivens, a carpenter 2/5 years old. The deed in all its details was one of the most brutal and revolting in the annals of crime. lvens has made a full contession, and at the Coroner’s inquest he told without the slightest emotion of his efforts to assault his victim, whom ht: strangled to death with a fine copper wire when she resisted his attack. 'At the close of the hearing. W. C. Hollister, hrother-in-law of the dead woman, made an unsuccessful effort to shoot lvens. lie was making his way towards the murderer, revolver in hand. when a policeman caught slght of the weapon and grabbed llollister. Other policeman hustled the frantic man from the room. The entire city is amused and excited over what is regarded as possibly the most, hideous outrage ever perpeiralcd in its midst upon one o! the most re- spected and popular of its citizens. There is loud and angry talk of lynching. lThree Children and an Aged Woman the Victims. A despatch from Portage la Prairie, Man, says: A fearful holocaust oc- ,curred on Sunday morning four miles l east of here, when the residence of H. A. lBrazil was destroyed by fire, and three 10f his children and his wife’s aged aunt .were burned to death. The household fconsisted of Brazil, six children, and the aunt, Catherine Quinn, who were sleep- ing on the second floor. Brazil. who slept down stairs, was awakened by one of the youngsters yelling fire. and not noticing it in the house, he rushed to the stable, and loosened his nine horses; then went to the house. By this time it was ‘l’ull ofssmoke and flame. In the mean- time three of the children had escaped, and the mother had snatched the two‘ year-old baby out of bed, and laid it on the window sill. She climbed onto the porch, and slipped off, and the infant fell back into the burning house and perished. The eldest girl lost her life :n an effort to save the others. The dead are: Catherine Brazil, 16 years old; Francis Brazil, Ii; Cecilia Catherine Quinn, 75 years. Of the nine horses which Bra- zil released, seven stayed in the stables and were destroyed. It is said that the fire was of incendiary origin, but the police vigorously deny there is any foundation therefor. A despatoh from St. Pelersburg says. The first advices receival hy the Gov- ernment trom Siberia after the restora- tion of telegraphic communication, show that the most critical conditions pre- vailed during the recent strike. but that now, with the arrival of reliable troops from Mnnchurla, the worst happily is over. Owing to the interruption of comâ€" munication, the local governors were «unaware ot their authority to declare martial law, which was conferred by the Emperor's ukase. The paltry military forces at their disposal were in open sympathy with the strikers, and many of them were revolutionaries, and this prevented energetic measures being taken to restore the authority of the Emperor, which practically was non- existent for many days. Krasnoyarsk also w in the hands of insm‘ a revolutionary grove-1- an oath of alle‘giance Divisions under Gen. Sulihoten now have arrived and taken possession of Irkutsk, Omsk, Krasnoyarsli, and other towns, and are arresting the leaders of the insurgents, and disarming the un- reliable troops. The first telegram arriving from Irkutsk was a frantic “appeal from the financial agent there for some one to take over the administration or the city, the vice-governor, the chief of police, and all his other superior oilicers having been killed or wounded during the inâ€" surrection. He reports that for several (lays the revolutionists were in control of the entire town except the adminis- tration building, and that this was only held because of the devotion of the cadets of the military school, who swore on the colors to fight to the death against the revolutionists. wounded and :1 boy was killed by the ex- plosion of the bombs. Artillery was im- mediately called up and the seminary was surrounded and shelled. The build- ing soon burst lnlo flames and the bombs and cal-(ridges stored therein exploded. Thirty-three persons perished during the conflag'mlion while three hundred were injured by fire or wounded by shells.
