TEN CENTS PER WEEK ARMY MORALE BROKEN CONTINUAL INCREASE IN REBEL. LIOUS OUTBREAKS AMONG RUSSIAN TROOPS. WUTINY AT- SEBASTOPOL QUELLED LOYAL SOLDIERS SUCCEED IN SUPPRESSING THE DISSAT- ISFIED ELEMENT. St. Petersburg, June 22.—A serious mutiny, which for a time threatened to place the fortress of Sebastopol in possession of the mutineers, has been suppressed, according to a special dis- patch to the Novoe Vremya. The mu- tiny was started by a batialion of fortress artillery, which declined to obey orders, whereupon the men were promptly disarmed. Two other battalions then mutinied and took possession of the guns in the north shore batteries, but on the appear- ance of several loyal regiments of in- fantry the mutineers abandoned the idea of fighting and returned to their barracks, General Nepleuff, commander of the fortress of Sebastopol, is repre- sented to be greatly concerned about the temper of the sailors as well as the soldiers of the fortress. That the morale of the whole army is being shaken by the revolutionary propa- ganda is proved by the continual ex- tension of the rebellious outbreaks among the troops. It appears to be confirmed that the Botschoff regiment at Byazan has driven off its officers and burned the armory. Another re- port says the soldiers deliberately at- tacked the Officers’ club at Byazan, killing one and wounding two officers. A panic prevails in the town. Four companies of the Viborg regi- ment, stationed in St. Petersburg, .| have presented demands which were acceded to and they have now re- turned to duty. The soldiers of the notorious Se- menovsky regiment, whose name be- came synonymous with repression ow- ing to the deeds committed by these troops at Moscow, are reported to have held a meeting and to have de- cided that they cannot any longer en- dure the public opprobrium and must wipe out the stain on the regiment. The tenderness with which the mili- tary authorities are treating these and recurring exhibitions of the mutinous spirit among the troops is sufficient evidence that they fear the entire army is infected.

Ferris of Big Rapids, nom- inated for governor a second time by the Democrats at last week’s primary clection, has declined the nomination. Mr. Ferris says there does not exist among the people the enthusiasm that would warrant him in running for governor a second time.

Rectamation Service Favors Onfy Min- nesota Drainage. ‘Washington, June 22.—The federal reclamation service is moving heaven and earth to defeat the Hansbrough bill proposing the drainage of the Red River valley in North Dakota and the measure providing for drainage of the | dismal swamp in the Carolinas. The former would take $1,000,000 from the irrigation fund and the latter $3,000,- 000. According to the officials the passage of these hills weould retard the work of constructing irrigation ditches and prevent the completion as originally planned of a number of projects imperatively needed in cer- tain arid and semi-arid states. The reclamation service is not opposed to the Steenerson bill affecting the over- flowed lands in Minnesota. In fact, it has strongly endorsed that meas- ure. Strong influences are at work ta enact the Hansbrough bhill into law before adjournment, but just what will happen to it is not now clear. FORTIFICATIONS BILL.

Petersburg, June 22—The par- liamentary commission sent to Bialy- stok to investigate and report upon the recent massacre of Jews there has returned to St. Petersburg, The com- mission possesses &:mass of testimony. on which parliament will be asked to insist upon the immediate prosecution Int the subordinate police and military officers who are found to be guilty of direct or indirect complicity in the massacre. The commissioners declare that the attacks Of the mob on the Jews could have been stopped at any stage of the riotig by the energetic intervention of the.police and troops. The commission’s report will ab- solve the St. Petersburg government of direct responsibility in the Bialy- stok massacre, but'it finds that the uprising was organized by the lower police officials of Bialystok as the re- sult of systematic agitation there ex- tending over a'Considerable period.

The first section of the resolution provided for the election of senators by the direct vote of the people; the second extended the terms of representatives to four years. Mr. Rucker (Mo.) said that while there is sentiment for the election of senators by direct vote there is none whatever for the second praposition. He requested that the house be per- mitted to vote separately on the two | sections, but objection was made. Demoorats and Republicans were much mixed up when the vote was taken, the resolution being defeated by a vote of 89 to 86, two-thirds not having voted in its favor. MAY SUCCEED MOODY. Frank B.

A score of women with banners fly- ing assembled in Cavendish square during the forenoon and announced their determination to be heard by Mr. Asquith, They defied the police until their leaders were arrested and dragged off to the police station. { The women were arraigned in po- lice court later.

She said she was | shocked when passing through Caven- dish square to see “so-called women suffragists fighting police and making an impertinent mockery of woman- hood.” THEIR TRADE IN DANGER. British Flour Importer Warns Amer- ican Millers. Milwaukee, June 22.—At the fore- noon session of the millers’ mass con- vention, under the auspices of the Millers’ National Federation, H. B. Tasker, a London importer and repre- sentative of the London Flour Trade association, urged the millers to the exercise of greater energy and care in the preservation of their foreign trade. He told them that unless they made earnest and sustained effort theéir trade in the United Kingdom would be placed in greatest peril by the competition of the British millers. These latter, he said; are in so strong a position and so alert in taking ad- vantage of conditions that they are constantly taking trade from Amer- ican mills. He divided the blame for this condition of things between the American miller and the railway and steamship lines, the former sometimes failing to keep his export flour at the highest standard of quality and the] latter taking 100 days to deliver flour in London when it could be done in, forty. Mr. Tasker said that, with a| maintained high quality and prompt deliveries, American flour would eon- | tinue to be used in large quantities in} Great Britain. GERMAN INDUSTRIES WARNED. Must Prepare for Tariff War With United States. Berlin, June 22.—At a meeting of the Central Association of German Manufacturers, embracing most of the great manufacturing organizations of the country, held at Nuremburg, the ; general secretary, Herr Buck, refer- | ring to the trade arrangements with the United States, said the associa- tion supported the temporary exten- sion of the treaty duties to the Unit- ed States because German industry at this moment was not sufficiently pre- pared for a tariff war with the United States. A continuance of the situation created by the temporary arrange- ment, however, would be irreconcil- able either with the economic inter- ests or dignity of the German empire. ‘The general secretary felt it meces- sary, therefore, to warn German in- dustry to prepare in good time for a tariff war, which would be unavoid- able if the United States thinks it can continue treating German goods. un- fairly: Victim of Highwaymen. New York, June 22.—John Phillips, superintendent of the Parkway Driv- ing club and a well known turfman, was shot and seriously wounded by two highwaymen while on the way to his residence in the grounds of the club.

Hobson of Fergus county, who is largely interested in cattle and is one of the leading bank- ers of the state, in an Interview here | deplores the present agitation against | methods obtaining at the Chicago stock yards and is firmly of the opin- ion that it will result in no iittle in- jury to the cattlemen of the state. Leaving out of consideration the merits of the controversy he says that | the agitation is bound to work untold injury upon producers of cattle and , that they will have to sell their stock | at decreased figures. He contends | that the government reports should not have been made public, as the de- | sired result, he claims, could have been accomplished without publicity. | INTERFERENCE 1MPOSSIBLE. l President Replies to Protests on Rus: siam Massacre. a Big Loss.—All Well Insured. | Of the total exports of meats, valued | Origin of Blaze a Deep Mystery.— Started in Naylor's Building.

Omaha, June 22.—Alfred Millard, cashier of one of the largest national banks in Omaha, has been confirmed by the city council for the office of poundmaster and dogeatcher. Mr. Mil- lard is president of the Nebraska Hu- mane society and the appointment was of his own seeking.

Residents Gather at Oklahoma City for Big Demonstration. Oklahoma City, Okla., June 22.—A “new state” celebration was held here during the day and proved to be the greatest demonstration of public sen- timent ever manifested in Oklahoma. Many excursion trains arrived, heav- ily loaded with enthusiastic people, among them almost every prominent man of the new state. Governor Hoch of Kansas delivered the principal ad- dress at the park where the exercises were held. GIVEN 14 PER CENT INCREASE. Advance in Wages Affects 25,000 Cot- ton Operatives. Fall River, Mass., June 22.—The cotton manufacturers of this city have granted the operatives a 14 per cent increase in wages. About 25,000 hands are benefitted. The new scale, which will take ef- fect July 2, is practically the same as that prevailing previous to July 1, 1904.

Middletown, Conn., June 22.—Fire in the amusement hall connected with the state hospital for the insane caused the death of a spectator and nearly createdsa panic among the in- mates of ‘the idsylum, who were re- moved from a dormitory nearby to another building during the height of the fire. Attempt at Assassination Fails. Melilla, June 22.—Adherents of the sultan of Morocco at night unsuc- cessfully attempted to assassinate Bu Hamara, the pretender, while he was sleeping n his tent. Several of the pretender’s guards were killed and others were wounded: - % ing the Cass Lake tournament, ‘was visited by a fire last night, which accomplished damage amounting to $25,000 before it could be subdued. The flames, starting in E. L. Naylor’s furniture store, com- pletely gutted the place from rear to front, burned the larger portion of the Berman Emporium and ruined the rear end of the Turf saloon building, owned by J. P. Duncalf. Considerable damage was done to E. A, Bar- ker’s drugstore and the Bank sa- loon, owned by Clavin & Tanner, but it was caused by the moving of stock into the street. The flames or water touched neither building, The confining of the fire to the three buildings mentioned re- flects the highest credit on the firemen, regular and volunteer. For a time it looked as though the whole row of wooden buildings in the block might go, but the fight, led by Assistant Chief J. P. Pogue, was conducted along scientific lines, and five streams of water playing on the flames from as many different points, kept them in control and saved the wooden building to the west occupied by Winter’s jewelry ‘lstore, and all but the rear end of the Turf saloon building. The more credit is due be- cause only six or seven of the regular fire company was in the city, and the absence of the run- ning hose cart with a quantity of hose, and the hook and ladder wagon proved a considerable handicap. The continued rains of the last week and a half also helped the firemen greatly. The buildings: were wet and burned slowly, and there was little danger of sparks, flying upward and alighting at distant pcints, starting fresh fires, This left the.men free to- devote their whole energy to the" one blaze, The origin of the fire is shrounded in mystery. No one seems to havea plausible theory. It 18 supposed to have started in the work room in Naylor’s store, and that is all that can be said: Continued on last page, column 4 sl
