Petersburg, Jan. 29.—Beyond the fact that the revolt at Vladivostok is not subdued and that the mutinous sailors and soldiers are still standing by the guns at the Holy Innocents battery the war office had nothing to give out regarding the situation at the fortress. The only further news avail- able was a newspaper dispatch dated Jan. 26 stating that two squadrons of the Nertchinsk regiment of Cossacks had arrived and that many arrests had been made. The war office off- clals said that their own information practically duplicated the news dis- patch. From the absence of news it is concluded that General Mode, who is temporarily in command of the troops, is awaiting the arrival of Lieu- tenant General Mistchenko before ven- turing on serious measures against the mutineers. The securing of arms by the mu- tineers Jan. 22 was a sequel of a street fight in which a number of sailors of the Siberian contingent were killed. The public takes only a languid in- terest in the latest mutiny. The pa- pers merely print the news, which had no effect on the bourses without com- ment. BRIBERY IS CHARGED. Beef Trust Attorney Pays Money to Chicago Reporter. Washington, Jan. 29.—Bribery has been resorted to, it is charged, by an attorney for the beef trust in his ef- forts to secure an acquittal of his clients now being tried for violation of the anti-trust laws. President Roosevelt has made pub- lic some correspondence with Attor- pey General Moody and United States District Attorney Morrison of Chicago regarding the action of Judge George ‘W. Brown, one of the attorneys for the beef trust, accused of bribing a news- paper reporter who circulated false stories with reference to the prose- cution. Judge Brown admitted that he had paid the money to Hassler, a reporter on the Chicago Inter-Ocean, for writing stories favorable to the beef trust and that Mr. Elwell, a re- porter of the Chicago Press assocla- tion, had refused to accept a bribe.

Havana, Jan. 29.—The senate has unanimously passed an appropriation of $25,000 for the purchase of a wed- ding gift for Miss Alice Roosevelt Senator Zayas said that Cuba owed some evidence of appreciation to her unfailing friend, Theodore Roosevelt, and that the wedding of his daughter afforded opportunity to demonstrate Cuba’s love for and appreciation of her illustrious father.

Washington, Jan. 29.—The isthmian canal commission met during the day and concluded its consideration of the report of the board of consulting engi- neers with respect to the type of canal that should be constructed. The com- mission has had before it the reports of the majority and minority of the consulting board. At the day’s meet- ing the commission adopted a report to.the secretary of war which they will forward to him. While no official announcement is made with reference to the commission’s report there is good reason to believe that they have summarized the two reports and have recommended the construction of a lock canal with an 85-foot level, prac- tically following the recommendations of the minority of the consulting engi- neers. The report of the committee and the two reports of the consulting engineers will be transmitted to the president by Secretary Taft with such suggestions as he may desire to make.

The dis- orders extend to five counties around Gomel. The peasantry, as in the Baltic prov- inces, have deposed the old authori- ties and elected revolutionists to fill their places. MANY REBELS EXECUTED. Pacification of Baltic Provinces In Final Stage. ‘Wenden, Livonia, Jan. 29.—The pa- cification of the Baltic provinces is reaching the final stage so far as the agrarian movement is concerned. Nearly 250 revolutionists have been shot, several thousand are under ar- rest and 5,000 rifies have been cap- tured by the troops.

Among the burned castles is that of Baron Rosen Grossrop, about twenty miles north- west of Wenden, which was destroyed with all its contents, servants who had been in'the service of the: baron| | for twenty years assisting in the work of destruction. Altogether the revolutionists in this district burned two castles valued at value they contained. measures.

MAY CONTINUE SIX MONTHS. Germans_Not Hopeful of Early Agree- ment at Algeciras. Berlin, Jan. 29.—While .Germany is not dissatisfied with the progress hith- erto made at Algeciras the belief is gaining ground here that the confer- ence will last much longer than at first regarded as probable. Persons in the confidence of the foreign office even predict that the conference will last six months. The feeling in finan- cial circles has grown more confident that a satisfactory solution of the difficulties will ultimately be reached and the Moroccan question begins to cut a smaller figure in speculative matters. Nevertheless, better in- formed political quarters point out that the hardest questions for the con- ference to decide have not yet been touched on and that when these come up a much slower pace is certain, while a deadlock for a considerable time is not impossible. $4,000,000, including the articles of| gt Louis Policeman Kllls Himself | Trcops are taking the strictest 5 MINERS AND OPERATORS BALLOT ONDEMANDS MADE BY WORK- MEN’S ORGANIZATION, EMPLOYERS SUBMIT NO PBUI’IISITIDII] i QUESTIONS IN DISPUTE EVEN- TUALLY REFERRED TO WAGE SCALE COMMITTEE. Indlanapolis, Jan. 29.—The confer- ence of miners and operators of the Central competitive field met in Tom- linson hall during the day. Vice Pres- ident Lewis ¥ the mine workers de- clared the run of m¢ne basis the min- ers demanded was the only fair way of mining coal and. putting it on the markef and paying the miners for their work. He said the miners stood firmly on that demand and that they were equally determined to obtain the 7- cent differential between pick and ma- chine mining. On a roll call on the adoption of the | demands made by the miners the mo- tion was lost by a strict vote between the miners and operators. President Mitchell said unless fur- ther discussion was desired the propo- sition might as well go to the scale commgttee. F. T. Robbins, for the op- erator§, said that the operators had no proposition, On motion of Mr. Robbins the en- tire subject of a wage scale and the t her demands of the miners was re- fe.red to the joint scale committee. The motion was seconded by Pres- ident Mitchell of the miners. The con- ference then adjourned to meet at the call of the chair. COULD NOT BEAR SHAME. ‘! = ! When Called on Carpet.

Harding, Somerville, Mass.; Christina Nelson, pastry cook, Boston; Miss Josephine Keneeston, nurse, Franklin Falls, N. H. The fire is believed to have started in the kitchen from an overheated stove.

When the firemen arrived all the occupants of the first and second floors had escaped, but many persons on the third and fourth floors were hanging from the window | ledges. Unfortunately 'the fire ap- paratus responding to the first alarm did not include enough aerial ladders to remove these ggrsons from their precarious positior®. A second alarm was sounded and when sufficient long ladders had reached the scene all of those who were visibly in peril were rescued, BSome of the persons who were hang- ing from the windows had become ex- hausted by this time and had dropped into the life nets that were spread below. Others managed to escape by the rope fire escapes. “All*left the ho- tel in their night clothes and they did not have an opportunity to save their personal effects. ATTORNEYS STILL AT VARIANCE.

Berlin, Jan. 29.—According to the Cologne Gazette the imperial govern- ment has at last decided to meet the long standing desire of the reichstag to pay members per diem for actual attendance. The proposition has been discussed numerous times, the reichs- tag each time passing a resolution asking for the government’s acqui- escence, but the latter has steadily ignored the request. This week an- other debate occurred in which the fact developed that many conserva- tives are convinced that it is neces- sary to compensate members of the reichstag in order to maintain a quo- rum. The debate brought out some sharp criticisms of the emperor, who was described as being the only man in Germany standing out against the wishes of the reichstag. Another speaker quoted a remark attributed to the emperor, indignantly exclaiming: “Give these fellows a per diem, too!” It is understood that the govern- ment’s decisisn to yield is due to the visible Irritation manifested by the reichstag toward the government for ignoring its various notes in favor of compensation to members, I PARTIALLY GLGBED FOR REPAIRS 1 —— L New York’s $30,000,000 Capituf §ai3~ to Be Unsafe, l Albany, N.
