AUTHORITIES AND MOB
CLASHED IN MOSCOW
MOSCOW, Dec. 1*.—'Th« demonstra
tion here today lasted from noon to
till nearly evening. Probably 5,000
people actually participated. Many
persons were wounded and more were
arrested. As far a* is known none of
the rioters was killed. One policeman
Is reported to have been fatally In
jured. Many on both sides wart
roughly handlsd.
Tha authorities knew In advance
that trouble wan Impending, and many
house* along Tverskaia street were
specially guarded and extra policemen
were on duty In the streets. Several
squadrons of mounted gendarmes were
concealed In the courtyard* of houae*,
ready for an emergency. The crowds
began to collect at midday In Tver
skaia street, students, young men and
women, mixing with the general pub
lic. The thoroughfare was soon con
gested with a mass of moving human
ity, which converged on Straatnl
square, where three thousand peraon*
assembled, many armed with clubs
find carrying flag*. The crowd, wing
ing, moved towards the palace of Grand
Duke Rerglua, the governor general of
Moscow. The police attempted to Mock
the ntreet, whereupon the trouble be
gan In eirrneat. Stick* and ntone*
were freely used by the mob, which
threatened to again break through the
cordon, *
The police flred several blank vol
leys and mounted msn charged, using
the flat* of their sword*. The mob
fought stubbornly, but Anally broke
and sought shelter In the side streets.
Here the police were again eovetvly
pressed, and the detachments stationed
at the openings of the street* to keep
people out of Tvefskala street were
caught by the retreating mob on one
side and throngs of curious spectators
on the other.
Many of the demonstrators who
broke through the cordon of police
paraded In side streets In smaller
groups, waving flags and singing. A
crowd of five hundred collected in
front of the theatre, where revolution
ary flags were hoisted amid shouts of
“lying live freedom." The police were
not prepared at this point, and the
crowd, gathering in volume, moved
from the square to Keglina Btreet, and
Koomlnestkl bridge, the chief street
in Moscow, where the police met them.
Another stubborn fight ensued, ending
as the first had.4tone, with three blank
volleys and sabre charges.
The police had orders to exclude de
monstrators from the precinct of the
palace of Grand Duke Cergiss, but the
demonstrator* Ignored all warnings
and pushed along the Verskala streets,
shouting “Down with the war—!“ and
singing revolutionary songs. They
stopped in front of the palace, and re
fused to dlHperst. After a few blank
cartridge* had been flred from the re
volvers of the police the latter drew
their sword* and with the assistance of
gerylnrmefl and cossacks drove the de
monstrators. student* of both sexes.
Into the neighboring street*. Including
the boulevard Pushkin, where the
struggle wag continued around Push
kin's statue. The general public did
not participate, but appeared to dis
approve of the demonstration. Tho
students had counted on the co-opera
tion of the workingmen, hut employers,
by a threat to withhold customary new
year gifts^ Itfduccd the men to desist.

moat enjoyable concerts given In Dub
lin in a long white waa the appear
ance here Tuesday night last of Miss
File# Matthews, violinist; Mlsa Sarah
Antoinette Belley, soprano, and Mr. F.
Tr - Hepburn, accompanfat.
The people of Dublin had heard a
great deal of the accompUsbmenU of
thest musicians, but they were not
prepared for at splendid concert as
waa given. Each number on the pro
gram waa encored and the young la
dles were forced to bow their acknowl
edgments several times. The audi
ence became ao Insistent after the first
few numbers had been given that the
young ladles ware forced to respond
with more mualc.
In the past a number of lady violin
ists have appeared here. It la agreed
all that the work of Mlsa Matthews
- rat*, re W* uiian mtUlHCWB
Tuesday night laat excelled them all.
In fact. It la aald by those who know
that ahe la the equal of any violinist
that haa ever appeared before a Dub
lin audience. She plays this difficult
instrument with a great deal of case
and expression and la destined to be
known all over the country as one of
the beat violinists of the age.
Miss Bailey gave complete satisfac
tion aa a soprano. She was heartily
encored and waa farced to respond to
every number ns was Miss Matthews.
It waa known that she waa a reader of
excellent ability and when she re
sponded with a recitation the audience
was very much delighted. It Just re
quired her work aa la reader to com
plete the program and leave nothing
more to be desired.
Although there waa a good crowd
out Tuesday night a great many of the
mualc loving people of the city were
not present They have expressed a
dealre to have another opportunity of
hearing these gifted ladles and an ef
fort will be made to get them to give a
return date In Dublin. If they con
sent to come back the achool audito
rium will be packed with people.

The anther of ‘‘Btnrnrerhaaaett” and
“Quincy Adams Sawyer" has selected
Benjamin Franklin as the character for
this excellent romance. It Is an extremely
Interesting necount of the day# when the
Imposing figure of tho grand old philos
opher, statesman and diplomat moved
through the brilliant society of Versailles
and became the central figure for the
time being of thq nation's admiration.
Part of Ihe plot Is laid In what I. now
Kentucky, and la then transferred to
Paris. Much of French court life of the
ante-revolutionary period b shown In the
work, ami Mr. Pidgin has produced a vary
readable hook from an hitherto ungleaned
field rich In material.
