SECOND MASSACRE
ON AT MOSCOW.
Cossacks Open Fire Upon Popu
lace of Russia’s Ancient Cap
ital-Scaffold or Siberia
for Revolutionists.
V -
V St. Petersburg, Jan. 25.—
■ Fighting is in progress in Mos
f cow. The conflict was begun by
I the Cossacks. Resisted when
m they * attempted to disperse a
| crowd of about 3,000 men, worn
I en and children, the soldiers
^ opened fire.
No details have yet been re
ceived further than the bare offi
cial announcement that many of
the populace were wounded. It
is the general belief that the city
has been the scene of another
massacre.
The working classes constitute
fully two-thirds of the popula
tion of Moscow, and the garrison
is inadequate.
A notice was posted here to
day commanding the strikers to
return to work and intimating
that those who disobey would be
deported to villages.
The latest towns in which
strikes have been declared are
Saratoff and Reval. The Mos
cow printing works have also
been closed.
Hundreds of arrests were
made last night. Among those
in custody are the very flower of
Russia’s intellectual classes. A
i \clepn/swe^jK it is declared, will
made orSall the prisoners.
The scaffold on^iberia is to be
their fate.
Of yesterday’s slaughter but
“ the merest announcements has
been received. These prove,
however, that it was an even
more wanton butchery than in
which 2,200 men, women and
children gave up their lives Sun
day in the Palace square. A
cordon of troops surrounds the
the scene of the massacre, and
the strictest secrecy is maintain
ed by the government.

vey, who is well and favorably

account of Rev. Mr. Skinner, the
Methodist pastor, and Rev. Mr. j
Wise, the Baptist minister, wait
ing upon the trustees of the
opera house and insisting upon
them not renting the same to a

j THE LEGISLATURE j
Important at least to this sec
tion are a number of bills intro
duced this week by the Jackson
representative and some of his
next door neighbors. The most
noteworthy, being general in its
application, is fathered by Hon.
John H. Keel, and authorizes
county judges to appropriate at
least one half of the taxes de
rived from any city or town for
improvement of its roads
and streets. Dene Coleman
has introduced a bill extending
the power of a city of the second
class to give them power to pre
vent the erection of objection
able buildings. Senator Hinkle
seeks to have the time of each of
the Independence circuit courts
fixed one week later than at
present. T. J. Raney of New
ark would have the road over
seers of his county elected in
stead of appointed by the county
judge. McCall of Lawrence
seeks to amend the DeRossitt
law and allow non-residents to
hunt in that county.
The remedy for mob law is to j
be found in speedy trials of such
cases as outrage public opinion
and arouse the vengeance of
men, is the opinion of Senator
roney oi jenerson county, wno
has introduced a bill providing
that the sheriff or other proper
officer in any county wherein is
committed a crime so heinous as
to arouse the passions of the
people shall at once notify the
circuit judge, and that the court
shall order, within ten days aft
er the receipt of such notice, a
special term for the purpose of
giving the guilty party a trial.
And if the proper judge is not
found, then the attorneys of the
court may choose one of their
number to act as judge. If the
sheriff or such other proper of
ficer does not notify the proper
court, then seven citizens resid
ing in the community may make
the notification and the court
shall receive this as he would a
notice from the sheriff. In the
event that a change of venue is
granted to the prisoner, the
county or court to which the
prisoner is sent must order a
trial within ten days from re
ceipt of such notice.
The Little Rock politicians are
giving Faucette and his Argenta
subjects something to think about
other than getting a divorce from

tor Gray a measure is now pend
ing which will allow larger cities i
to annex smaller cities lying con
tiguous. How Argenta won her
independence through an act
that was passed under the guise
of being intended for Hoxie and
Walnut Ridge, though those
towns have never taken advan
tage of its provisions, is all a
matter of well established his
tory, but the people of the state
capital have never slept soundly
since so easily taken in by the
deception of their north-side
brethren. And now the battle
is to be fought over again in the
open, but Argenta holds posses
sion of the fort.
The lobbyist is to be given an
other twist in this state, whether
just for fun, to fool the people
or from a righteous desire to
prevent corruption of our law
makers is not yet apparent, but
Representative Whitley of Polk,
following the lead of Gov. Folk
of Missouri, has introduced a
measure which makes them1
amenable to heavy fines.
