Two thousand So- cial Democrats had forced an entrance into the town hall, which was closed owing to the celebration of a religious holiday, the beheading of John the Baptist. Revolutionary speeches were made and the chief of police ordered the meeting to disperse. Part of those present obeyed, but the remainder- re- fused and some revolvers were fired. A large force of Cossacks drawn up outside the building then fired a vol- ley into the crowd time and time again, killing thirty and wounding up- wards of seventy.

Police Unable to Locate Motorman of Wrecked Train. New York, Sept. I3.—Policemen watched every ferry and railroad sta- tion in this city during the night try-l Ing to capture Paul Kelly, the fugitive | motorman of the wrecked elevated railrcad train in which twelve persons were killed, but have not found him. A general police alarm was sént out calling for the arrest of Kelly on a charge of homicide. The fugitive was a strike breaker who entered the com- pany’s employ six months ago while a strike was in progress and his home was formerly in St. Louis. The police of St Louis have been asked to watch return to his former home. It is ex- pected that the missing man can throw a great deal of light on the con- dition of the tracks and signals at the time of the accident. Fourteen of the persons injured in the wrecked train are still in the hos- pitals. Some had been .removed to their homes during the night, their injuries proving to be not serious. Of those in the hospitals three were so badly injured as to make their recov-| ery doubtful. Several others were suffering from very serious injuries and their condition might at any mo- ment beccme critical. RAPID ELECTROCUTION: Murderer Dead Three Minutes After Entering Death Chamber.

Dispatches say that mutilated children were thrown to the dogs and that the few survivors were forced to embrace Islamism in order te save their lives.

UNDER SURGEON’S KNIFE, Richard Mansfield Submits to Two Se- rious Operations. New York, Sept. 13.—Richard Mans- feld, the actor, is just recovering from |- the -eftects of two very delicate and serious surgical operations, according to an announcement made by the Her- ald. The first, which was performed three weeks ago, failed to relieve Mr. Mansfield and another was performed last Wednesday, when the actor un- derwent a trying ordeal at the hands of the surgeons who were called to his | New lLondon (Conn.) home. For several years Mr. Mansfield has ! been a sufferer from nervousness | brought on by a grave intestinal dl‘i-l order that steadily grew worse. Three ! weeks ago his condition became so| serious that his New London physi-| cian decided on the necessity of an| operation.

INSUR- New York, Sept. 13.—A transaction of the navigation syndicate was gone into by the insurance investigation committee during the day and it was disclosed that the New York Life In- surance company had paid J. P. Mor- gan & Co. $4,000,000 on account of the navigation syndicate. Two items in this transaction took almost an hour of interrogation to get a clear answer. These items showed that on Dec. 31, 1908, $500,000 of the bonds were sold to J. P. Morgan & Co. and were bought back on the next business day, Jan. 2, 1904. After considerable ques- tioning Edmund D. Randolph, treas- urer of the New York Life Insurance company, said that the bonds were sold so that in the report to the state superintendent of insurance the New York Life could show that its holdings of the bonds were not over $2,200,000. At the opening of the morning ses- sion of the committee the removal of the preferred stock of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad from the assets of the company to satisfy the Prussian government, which was under consideration at the last ses- sion of the committee, was again taken up. Messenger Signs Dummy Bonds. Mr. Randolph testified Friday that when the insurance company had to remove the stock from its assets it was turned over to the New York Trust company as collateral for a loan for which notes were given by George B. Marshall, a colored messenger em- ployed by the life insurance company at $600 a year. The trust company was owned by officials of the insur- | ance company. The transfer of the Chicago and Northwestern preferred stock from the life -insurance company to the trust company, which was alsc forced by the Prussian government, was also reviewed. Regarding both the Chlcago and Northwestern stock .and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Mr. Hughes asked: “You kept control of the stock after it went off your books so as to make any profit you could?” “Yes.”, Taking up the non-ledger assets Mr. Randolph said they did not appear on the ledger, but a record was kept in a card index NOT A DELIBERATE INSULT. tJap Attack on Americans Work of Crazy Mob. Tokio, Sept.. 13.—Some American !press comments attributing the burn- ng of churches as an insult to for- eigners and an outburst of anti-foreign sentiment have been received here with profound regret and surprise. An Associated Press representative has jinterviewed on this subject an old diplomat and old statesman under the old cabinet, whose name is withheld by request. He said: “Japanese youths and the lower classes are peculiarly excitable. No ]case of rioting passes without collat- eral issues which have no concern iwhatever with the primary object of the rising. The unfortunate occur- rences against the churches and American visitors is one of many sim- flar instances. In a moment of excite- ment the rioters are apt blindly to Beek objects of mischief, not consider- ing whether their relation is tangent with the first cause. “Rioters have no power of diserim- Ination between foreigners of various nationalities. The unfortunate occur- rence in regard to the American vis- Itors was not a deliberate insult to them as citizens of the United States. They simply were made a target by an excited, crazy mob.” IMPROVES. Jap Envoy Determined to Start for Home Thursday. New York, Sept: 12—Baron Komura, the Japanese peace plenipotentiary, who is ill at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, BARON KOMURA iwas somewhat improved during the day, his fever being abated appre- ciably. He was still, however, eon- fined to his bed and notwithstanding his weakened condition he is deter- mined to leave New York on Thurs- day to begin his homeward trip as originally planned. Mr. Sato said that although at present too ill to be moved Baron Komura believed that when the hour for departure came he could -{stand the journey, buoyed up if by no other means than his own determina- tion and eagerness to return to Japan. The reported loss of the battleship Mikasa with 599 men was received calmly by the Japanese. Mr. Sato Bid he would wait for fuller details before expressing any opinion. American League.

Gtockholm, Sweden, Sept. 13.—The delegates of Norway and Sweden ap- pointed to discuss the dissolution of the union of the two countries will re- assemble at Karlstad, Sweden, during the day and as it is declared here that the Swedish conditions are unalterable the outcome seems to depend on the Norwegian acceptance of these condi tions. The tone adopted by the Nor- wegian newspapers is very threaten- ing and is considered to be specially significant coming after Monday’s meeting of the.Norwegian delegates. It is recognized that a breach may follow the reassembling of the dele- gates and the Swedish authorities are preparing for such an eventuality. TERMS ARE HUMILIATING. Nur\;vegians Prefer War to Acceptance of Sweden’s Demands. Christiania. Sept. 13.—The tone of the Norwegian- newspapers indicates that the negotiations between the com- missioners of Norway and Sweden re- garding the dissolution have reached an impasse, Norway being unable to accept the conditions laid down by Sweden. 5 The Dagblddet, commenting on Sweden’s refusal to discuss an arbi- tration treaty until Norway had ac- cepted the Swedish conditions, de- clares that even war would be prefer- able to a peace bought at the expense of national humiliation.

Witte and Baron Rosen made a farewell call on the Japanese diplomats, who expect to leave for home later in the week. Baron Komura was unable to see the Russians because of his illness, but through Minister Takahira he sent them a cordial message of farewell. Mr. Takahira and other members of the Japanese party entertained the Russians for half an hour. In addi- tion to M. Witte the party sailing on the Kaiser Wilhelm II. included Greg- ory Wilenkin, financial agent of the Russian government to the United States. Before leaving the hotel M.
