BATTLE IN THE STREETS—RED FLAG OF SOCIALISM RAISED.
POLICE ON HORSEBACK MAKE SUDDEN CHARGE—MANY WERE
INJURED—DUE TO ATTEMPTED DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE
GOVERNMENT.
ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. 11.—A
popular anti-gorvernment demonstra
tion. the participants in which included
.large numbers of students of both
sexes, began at midday in the Nevsky
Prospect and lasted about two hours.
Hundreds of police and mounted
gendarmes who were hiding in the
court yard of the public buildings,
emerged and surrounded the crowd at
full gallop, driving the demonstrators
in headlong confusion screaming with
terror upon the sidewalks and Into ad
jacent streets. This led to serious en
counters. fifty persons being more or
less severely injured. Large numbers
were arrested.
Magnitude of the Riot.
Not since the riots of 1901, when cos-
sacks. stretched across the Nevski
prospect from building to building,
charged down the boulevard from the
Moscow station to the Neva, has the,
Russian capital lived through such a
lay of excitement as this. The au
thorities last night got wind of the big
anti-government demonstration plan
ned for today by the Social-Democratic
labor party to demand an Immediate
end of the war ar.d the convocation of
a national assembly, and leading every
paper in black-faced type was an ex
plicit warning to the people at their
peril to desist from congregating in the
Nevski Prospect N near the Kascan
cathedral. At the same time exten
sive preparations were made to quell
any disturbance. The police on the
Nevski Prospect were sextupled and
the Dvornlks, or house porter^ .were

marshalled In front of their respective
buildings. Half a dozen squadrons of
mounted gendarmes were massei in the
rear of the Knsean cathedral, and bat
talions of reserve police were station
ed in several court yards out of sight.
Minister of the Interior Svlatopolk-
Mlrsky gave strict orders, however,
that no cossacks should be used, and
Fulton, chief of police, issued explicit
directions to avoid harsh measures un
less it should become absolutely neces
sary.
The newspaper warnings, however*
by giving notice to those not apprised
of the prospect' of_ a demonstration,
defeated the very object for \yh!ch they
were * designed, attracting seemingly
the whole population of this vast city
to the broad thoroughfare, and long
nefore the hour fixed, despite the plead
ing of the police# who literally lined the
sidewalks, .the throiigs on the pave-
mentjr were so dense that movement
was almost Impossible, while the snow
covered boulevard was black with a
tangled mass of sleighs, filled mostly
with the curious.
In throngs on the sidewalks were
practically the whole student body of
•he capital, including many young wo
men who have always been prominent
in Russia In Liberal revolutionary
movements, and also thousands of
workmen belonging to the Social labor
party.
The Critieal Moment.
Toward 1 o’clock the workmen and
Students seemed to awarrn the corner
<if the Hotel Europe, opposite the Kaa-
ean cathedral. The police, recognis
ing that the critical moment was ap
proaching, tried In vain to keep back
the human tide. Then, when there
was not a single mounted policeman
In sight, on the stroke of 1, from the
heart of the thickly wedged crowd
blood red flag, like a Jet of flame, sud
denly shot up. It was the signal.
Other flags appeared In the crowd,
waving frantically overhead; and they
were greeted with a hoarse roar “Down
with autocracy.” The students surg
ed Into the street singing "Marseil
laise." while Innocent spectators, seek
ing to extricate themselves, crowded
Into doorways and hugged walls. Dis
mounted police made a single attempt
*o force their way Into the crowd to
wrest the flags from the demonstra
tors. but the student* and workmen,
armed with sticks, stood fclose and bent
back their assailant*.
Suddenly, the Horsemen!
Then, like a flash, from behind the
Knsean cathedral, came a squadron of
gendarmerie. The doors of adjoining
court yards were thrown back nnd
battalions of police came out. A double
squadron charged the flank of tho
demonstrators with drawn sabres.
Five other squadrons circled the mob.
cutting through the fringe of specta
tors, who gladly scurried to cover. The
main wedge of the demonstrators stood
fast only a moment or two.
There was a sharp rattle of cudgels
and sabres, though the wounds show
ed that the police struck principally
with the tint gf their sabres. The
women were especially fierce In their
resistance. Many wero^ struck and
trampled, and blood streamed down
their faces.
Battle in the Street.
While the mob stood, those within
managed to t^row hundreds of revolu
tlonary proclamations over the heads
of their fellow. The police urged their
horses fiercely Into the crowd, driving
those who resisted Into the court yards,
the Hotel Europe and the Catholic
church. The intense excitement last
ed about ten minutes, after which
mounted squadrons of the gendarmerie
patrolled the streets and the policemen
devoted themselevs to keeping the
crowd moving.
Considering the sharp fight the riot
ers had pur up. the police acted hu-
i frunely with the crowd, avoiding bru
\ qllly and roughness in keeping the
tarong moving, and showing really
more consideration than the police of
ms nr American cities would do under
similar circumstances.
In the meantime those coni
verely wounded, though none fatally,
so far as is ascertainable. So far there
have been over 100 arrests.
Ferment All Day.
The ferment continued all day and
for into the night, but only one or two
other abortive attempts attempts were
made at demonstrations, the police be
ing in such force that they had no dif
ficulty in seizing the ringleaders, no
resistance being made in any case.
Tonight the students of the Poly-
technique and other institutes held
meetings, at which fiery speeches were
made in favor of reform and the con
vocation of a national assembly.
The greatest distress Is expressed
by conservative Liberals over the
day’s events, all declaring that just
when the fate of the Zemstvo program
was In the balance such a fruitless out
break will be sure to prejudice every
observer and put the strongest weapon
in the hands of the bureaucratic re
actionaries.
Trouble In Other Places.
That such demonstrations of the
Social Democratic labor party are not
confined to the capital Is shown by a
letter received here from a prominent
Zemstvolst In Southern Russia,
which the writer says:
The optimism with which we left
St. Petersburg Is beginning to vanish.
The government is not showing a dis
position to meet us half way and en
ter frankly on the path of reform.
On the contrary, there seems to be
hesitation as to whether it would not
be better to return to the path of re
action. The governmen seems unable
tq comprehend the real state of popu
lar feeling, the Importance of decisive
action and the disastrous consequences
of procrastination. The people of this
province are In a state of great excite
ment. Large meetings have taken
place In many towns and very specific
resolutions have been adopted: but the
bad feature of the situation Is the at
titude of the working men.
"Incited by the underground press
of Geneva anJ Paris, who declare them
selves in complete antagonism to the
moderate demands of the Zemstvos,
they proclaim a definite Socialist pro
gramme. declaring they want not po
litical but socIaI freedom. It will,
therefore, be the policy of the govern
ment, if it decides to concede nothing
to us, to foster such dissensions be
tween the Zqipstyos. and the labor
party. * *'
"The government, confident of its
ability to repress revolutionary attacks
by force of arms and apprehending no
real danger, from the workingmen, can
use their ehtagonlsm toAis as an ar
gument against "the’ expediency of
granting the xf forms .demanded by the
moderates, on the ground that they
are not In real sympathy with the
wishes of the people.”

DANGEROUS TARGET PRACTICE,
TOKIO, Dec. 11, 4 p. m.—The Jap
anese continue to batter the Port Ar
thur fleet, and there Is little ground
for expecting that it will ever again
engage the Japanese. The battleship
Sevastopol continues at anchor out
side, but possibly returns to the harbor
at nights and anchors inside the outer
boom, which protects her from tor
pedo boats. The recent heavy weather
has given added protection to the ves
sel. Naval experts sre discarding the
theory that the Russians themselves
sank any of the ships. The fact that
the vessels first showed lists while in
exposed positions and the efforts mnd»*
to save the Hevastopol are regarded ns
conclusive evidence against the theory
of th’elr being aunk by the Russians.
A majority of the sunken warships Ho
headed northward. They received tho
bulk of the fire across their port aides
and that fact that at least two of them
allowed lists to starboard gives rise
to the theory that Japanese shells ex
ploded inside the ships and against the
starboard armor, driving the armor '
outward and causing leaks. To make
sure of the destruction of the Russian
warships the Japhnese continue to drop
shells Into the sunken hulks. Tho
whereabouts of the torpedo boat de
stroyers rohtlnues doubtful, but it i <
thought they are sheltering outside the
harbor. The weather prevents a good
observation being made, hut the Jap
anese are sending a searching tire Into

NORFOLK. Vs., Dec. 11.—The three-
masted schooner Montana, Captain
Boyce, from Baltimore for Charleston
with a cargo of salt (or probably coal),
stranded at 11 p. m. last night at Pea
Island. N. C., lifesaving station, fifty
miles north of Capt Hatters* during
heavy northerly rah*. Within twenty
minutes after the vessel stranded she
was full of water and awash so that
the crew, consisting of Capt. Boyce
and six men, were forced to take to the
rigging, where they remained until
p. m. today, when six of the seven
men were rescued by crews of Pea Is
land, New Inlet and Bodies Island life
saving sutions. One man, Henry Ed
wards, was frozen to death and was
lashed in the rigging !n such a manner
that he could not be reached, and his
body Is still aboard the ship hanging
in the rigging head downward. One
other member of the crew was almost
frozen to death by exposure and ex
haustion when he was rescued by the
members of the lifesaving crews, but
probably will recover, although his
condition is very serious. The rescued
crew are now at th*i Pea Island life
saving station.
Great difficulty was experienced in
landing the crew owing to the fact that
the vessel had sunk and a heavy sea
waa running at the time. The freezing
weather hampered the work of rescue
and the seamen were so overcome by
exposure and exhaust'on that only two
of the men In the rigging were able
to assist In hauling the whip-line

the line was shot out, and as one by

dltlonal creditors who have not yet an-
nounced that Mrs. Chadwick is in
debted to them, but It is not expected
by bankers and attorneys of this city
who have the greatest knowledge of
her affairs thnt anV more large loans
will be developed.
The extent of her operations Is now
believed to bo approximately as fol
lows: »
Secured from Citizens' Nstlonal
Bank of Oberlln, Ohio, and various
sources in and about Lorain county,
Ohio. $500,000; borrowed from Herbert
D. Newton, $190,000; borrowed from
business men in Pittsburg, $500,000;
total. $1,190,000.
Against this stands security of
known value on one note amounting
to $1,300 which is held by Iri Reynolds.
The amount of money received by
Mrs. Chadwick in Pittsburg may run
as high as $300,000. but it is believed
thnt a portion of thin sum is a bonus
promised - by her for nn original loan
of nt least $500,000. Her creditor there
figures that she is Indebted to him for
the larger amount, while she has ad
mltted that she owes him $500,000. I
heb debt In this direction Is $300,000,
the probability in sight for the cred
itors Is about one and one-fifth mills
on the dollar. It Is not believed by any
of the attorneys in the case that the
Carnegie securities will he of any ac
count whatever. If they do at any
time reveal value other than that of so
many cents per pound of white paper,
the delight of the lawyers will be com
parable only to their amazement, nnd
Just now they are anticipating neither
pleasure nos * astonishment.
The case of Mrs. Chadwick tomor
row will be brought before the grand
Jury of Cuyahoga county. The Invea
tigatlon will extend only to the alleged
forgeries of the Carnegie notes, and a
report from the Jury is expected not
later than Tuesday.
It Is the opinion of some of the lead
Ing attorneys of Cleveland that i
charge of forgery cannot be made to
hold In connection with the notes.
They declare It Is not an net of forgery
for one person to write the name of
another, but the offense lies In the at
tempt tq negotiate such a signature
for a specific value. This they say,
there is, so far, no evidence that Mrs.
Chadwick has done. She has not sold
or attempted to sell the notes for rash
8he has not said that she would be
glad to obtain money In exchange for
them. Bhe has obtained money from
various sources, on the statement of
Iri Reynolds, that she. to the b**t of
his knowledge and belief h*ld securi
ties of a certain value and whether he
proves correct or otherwise In his ex
ttmate of the value of the notes there
can be no doubt that Mr. Reynolds be
lieved what he said. There has been,
according to the attorney*, no evidence
