Captured revolutionists are being shot
down without trial? Further bloodshed
probable at St.Petersburg if proletariat
attempt parade for revolutionary dead
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
St. Petersburg, Jan. 4 ? The governaent is pressing the screws tighter and tighter.
No trials are being given the leaders of the revolution but they are being executed in
numbers by summary military action. At Moscow they are marched out before a squad
of troops and shot down.
Many of the leaders of the revolution were smuggled out of the city in coffins.
vVhen this ruse was discovered the soldiers began stopping funeral processions and inves
tigating them.
The proletriat organizations are planning a parade in honor of the dead revolu
tionists. The government threatens to stop the proceeding and bloodshed is likely to
; result.
ROJESIVENSKY ROUSES BRIWS IRE
St. Petersburg, Jan. 4 ? Admiral Rojestvensky has written a letter to the Novoe .
Vremya, publishied by permission of the minister of the navy, saying that the British I
fleet is being concentrated at Weihaiwei for the purpose of destroying the Russians, a job,
which he says Togo failed to do at the battle of the Sea of Japan. The letter is very!
ingenius and its author takes great credit to himself for the results of the engagements
in which his ships paticipated. A reader would be almost convinced that the Russians
and not the Japanese were the victors in the late war and the naval engagements of the
Baltic fleet.
England has demanded an explanation of the letter. Count Witte is a&tounded j
by it.

Albany, Jan. 4? That former Gov,
Odell means to continue the war that
has begun in republican politics of New
York state was made ev dent yestenlay
when Senator Edgar T. Bracket!, re
publican, of Saratoga Springs, intro
duced a resolution demanding the resig
nation of Senator Chauccey M. Depew
on account of the revelations of the in
surance investigation. A heated de
bate followed, which gave a foretaste
of more stormy times to follow. The
resolution was finally withdrawn for
the time being, but notice was ?iven
that it will come up again. Odell says
there will be no surrender on his part
and he is not considering a compromise.
The vote permitting the withdrawal
of the Brackett resolution was 27 to 19.
It does not signify anything for the rea
son that many who are opposed to
Depew voted to withdraw the resolu
tion for the reason that they thought
the first day of the session was not the
right time to press it.
James W. Wadsworth, jr., was elect
ed speaker of the house ol representa
