ADMITS SITUATION IS ALARMING GENERAL TREPOFF, LEADER OF REACTIONISTS, TALKS WITH USUAL BLUNTNESS. 8t. Petersburg, July 9.—General Tre- poft’s advocacy of a ministry composed of Constitutional Democrats intro- duces a new element into the situa- tion, which, though the fall of the Goramééu cabinet is: momentarily. postponed, is steadily trending toward | parliamentary government as being the only expedient which may ward off the impending storm of anarchy. The statement which h made during an interview at Peterhof shows that the Constitutional Democrats have a wholly unexpected and, perhaps, un- desired ally at court and in Premier Goremykin an opponent who is held in contempt as a procrastinator and drifter. Trepoff's conversion to the 1dea of a responsible ministry is based, However, not on regard for the Consti- tutional Democrats, whom he consid- ers to be half revolutionists, but on the conviction that repression by a disaffected army and disorganized po- lice would no longer serve. The gen- eral spoke with his usual remarkable bluntness, not attempting to cover the desperate condition of the country and tho strength of the revolutionary cause and giving the lie direct to Prince Urusoff, whom he further char- acterized as a traitor who had sold himself in the hope of attaining a place in the new government. Will Create a-Sensation. The interview with General Trepoft will precipitate a remarkable sensa- tion when it is published here and force an issue at Peterhof between the Goremykin and Trepoff factions. The Constitutional Democrats will take no part in that portion of the pol- icy of the radicals which can only plunge the country into streams of blood. Parliament must exist as the instrument of pacification or mnot at all. The Constitutional Democrats in the future are bound to actively com- bat the tactics of:-the-extremists as well as those of the government. The resolutions. drawn up by the mutinous garrison of Osowiec, one of the great fortresses defending the Polish frontier against German inva- sion, thirty-five miles northwest of Bialystok, include the usual social revolutionary demands for the nation- alization of the land, full amnesty for political offenders and the summon- ing of a constituent assembly and alse go to the length of demanding the abolition of authority of the officers, permission to leave off their uniforms except when on duty, the election of non-commissioned officers and the reference of all matters of discipline to an elected court to be composed of enlisted men. Will Punish Police Officials. Blalystok, July 9.—The agent of the minister of justice has finished his investigation of the recent massacre here and in consequence of his recom- mendation two captains of police and several sergeants will be indicted as well as twelve patrolmen for inciting people to participate in the rioting. Insubordination on Warship, Vigo, Spain, July 9.—Several acts of insubordination have occurred on board the Russian cruiser Terek, which is anchored here. The officers are exercising rigid surveillance over the crew, but a number of desertion: have occurred. t ANGLO-GERMAN RELATIONS, Efforts to Cultivate Good Will and Confidence Successful. Berlin, July 9.—The efforts, official and private, made to bring about bet- ter relations between Germany and Great Britain have had pronounced success. Emperor Willlam is active, outside of the regular channels, in impressing Englishmen with the fact that it is his purpose to leave nothing undone on the German side to restore agreeable relations. His majesty met a British naval officer at a yacht club dinner at Kiel recently and talked ‘with him for half an hour on the need- lessness and harmfuluess of bicker: ings between Great Britain and Ger- many and the determination on his part to preserve not only peace but to cultivate good will and confidence. The German journalists who recent- ly visited England have since .their return filled the editorial pages of the wost important newspapers with their observations, showing the causeless- ness of any ill feeling between the two countries and detailing a .thou- sand arguments for peace and the co- operation of German-British friend- ship. Convicted of Land Frauds. Portland, Ore, July 9—S. A. D. Puter was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud the government of its pub- lic lands and was sentenced by Judge ‘Wolverton to two years in the Mult- nomah county. jail and to pay a fine of $7,500. Puter was vigibly affected ; when the sentence was pronounced. llfl' far it was to Sagamore HL PIERCE OIL COMPANY. ASKS DAMAGES OF TWO MILLIONS ALSO DEMANDS THAT THE COR- PORATION BE EXCLUDED FROM THAT STATE. Little Rock, Ark., July 9.—Attorney General Rogers and Prosecuting At- torney Rhoton of Pulaski county have filed suit against the Waters-Pierce Oil company, alleging a conspiracy to control the output and prices of oil and asking damages in the sum of $2,000,000. They also ask that the company forfeit its right to do busi: ness in Arkansas, ! The bill alleges that the Waters- Plerce Oil company is associated with the Standard Oil company, Republic 0il company and others. SPECIAL GRAND JURY. City and County Offices at Denver to Be Investigated. Denver, July 9.—District Judge John L Mullins, sitting in the criminal divi- sion of the district court, made an order calling a grand jury to investi- gate all city and county offices “and such other matters as may be sub- mitted to the jury.” The court de- clares both the sheriff and coroner to be interested in the matters to be in- vestigated and appoints special elisors to draw the jury. Judge Mullins, in his order, says in part: “It having been brought to the at- tention of the court through the pub- lic press and from many honored and respected citizens of this city and county that frauds of the grossest character were perpetrated at the re- cent election held in this city and county for the election of city officers and the submission of certain fran- chises to the vote of the people at said election the court has deemed it im- perative to call a grand jury. From the information the court has received it has been determined that such grand jury shall investigate the offi- cers and office of the district attorney within and for the Second judicial dis- trict, the sheriff, coroner, treasurer and assessor and their offices in con- nection with said election frauds:” HARMLESS MIXER OF PAINTS. Suspected Seattle Anarchist Arrested in Germany. Seattle, Wash., July 9.—The central committee of the United German so- cieties of Seattle at its regular meet- ing declared that August Rosenberg, arrested in Germany upon suspicion of being an anarchist with designs against the life of Emperor William, was nothing but a harmless mixer of paints. The letter which caused the arrest of Rosenberg, the members of the so- ciety claim, was written by a secret enemy of Rosenberg to the authorities in the Fatherland. A prominent mem- ber of the committee, having known Rosenberg for several years, states that Rosenberg was an inventor and investigator of paint compounds and that the chemicals and apparatus found in Rosenberg’s old -shop were all for the purpose of experimentation in this line, According to this committeeman Rosenberg was seventy-two years of age, had amassed about $6,000, a com- petency for himself and wife, and his return to Germany was to spend the rest of his days in ease. NEW TRIAL IS DENIED. HEARST NOT A CANBIDATH. ‘Takes Rap at Bailey in Extended Interview. San Francisco, July 9.—Congress- man William R. Hearst, in an extend- ed interview, said: “I would like to state very positive- ly that I am not a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1908. “Mr. Bryan said the other day in London that there were others be- sides himself who had claims on the nomination through services rendered the Democratic party and mentioned pleasantly Mr. Folk, Mr. Bailey and myself. “While appreciating Mr. Bryan’s compliment I must decline to be con- sidered a candidate. TLet the Ilist stand, if Mr. Bryan pleases, Bryan or Folk or Bailey. For my part I would substitute Stevenson for Baliley. “Folk and Bailey, for instance, would be an oil and water ticket that wouldn't mix—a ticket of good pure water and Standard Oil. “Bryan and Bailey would be allit- erative and tickling to the ear, but would sound too much like Barnum and Bailey to suit the discriminating taste of the convention. “Why not Bryan or Folk or Steven- son in 1908 on the Democratic side and why not Roosevelt and La Follette on the Republican side?” ISSUED BOGUS UNION CARDS. Alleged New York Swindlers Clean Up About $5,000. New York, July 9.—Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Murphy has had before him thirty witnesses whom he exam- ined closely in reference to the charge of larceny against Samuel Platt, secre- tary of local No. 52 of the House- smiths and Bridgemen’s union. Platt was held by a police magistrate on complaint of Louis Miller, who alleged that he had paid $150 to Platt for a union card and its accompanying mem- bership in the union, which had after- ward turned out to be bogus in that it had not been authorized by the union. It is said that the district attorney’s ofiice. is convinced that there was a plot by some one to issue bogus cards to unsuspecting workmen for the per—l sonal profit of those engaged In the plot. Altogether the men in the scheme are said to have issued over fifty of the cards ahd to have made sway with something like $5,000. - | A party to the swindle is said to be 8 Jewish rabbi, who, it is alleged, In-{ duced twenty-five members of his con- gregation to buy the’ bogus cards.at prices ranging from $100 to $150. FIVE YEARS IN PRISON. Mrs. Hayes, Who Swallowed Diamond! in Omaha, Sentenced. Omaha, July 9.—Mrs. Mae Hayes, convicted of the theft from a local jewelry firm of a $300 diamond, which she is alleged to have swallowed, has been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary by Judge Sand in the district court. Mrs. Hayes was looking at diamonds in a tray and when the clerk’s back was turned put a large stone in her mouth. The stone was not recovered, al- though Mrs. Hayes offered to submit to an operation, which the state re- fused to permit. BRIEF BITS OF - NEWS. Charles E. Hughes, who was the chief counsel for the Armstrong legis- lative investigating committee, sailed for Europe Saturday. » Rev. Dr. Nathaniel West, a widely known minister of the Presbyterian church, died suddenly at Washington. Dr. West was eighty-two years of age. The Associated Press is authorized to deny the report of the engagement of Miss Jean Reid, daughter of Ambas- TRAGIC END FOR “PADDY” LYNCH Gun Slips and Is Discharged and the Shot Enters Lynch’s Side. Victim, With Two Compani Was Fishing in Tartle River Lake. Throuth the accidental dis- charge of a thotgun late last Sat- urday afternoon, “Paddy”’ Lynch, an old-time lumberjack, was almost instantly killed, and Chas. Perrault narrowly escaped the same fate, at Farley. Lynch, who has made his home for several years at the home of Charles Fogelquist, near Farley, was out in a boat on Turile River lake fishing, and with him were Charles Perrault, a saloonkeeper of Farley, and a boy from Farley. They had with them a loaded shotgun, which was lying in the front of the boat. Perrault was rowing and sitting in the center seat. “Lynch was looking after the troll line which was outat the end of the boat. He reached for the line, and in doing so, tipped the boat to one side. The shotgun slid to the side of the boat and was dis- charged. The charge of shot flew past Perrault’s head and struck Lynch in the rightarm and right side. A few of the shot hit Perrault, but he was not seriously hurt. The load of lead tore through Lynch’s arm, nearly severing his hand from his wrist, and tore a frightful hole in his right side. With the exclamation, “I am ‘gone,” Lynch felt ‘over - in the bottom of the boat and almost immediately expired. Perrault and his young com- panion were terribly frightened, but got to shore, and later‘the remains of Lynch were taken to the business portion of the vil- lage of Farley. Word was sent to Bemidji to Coroner Marcum. J. P. Lahr went to Farley, and after ascertaining all the circum- stances surrounding the affair, deemed it not necessary to hold an inquest. TLe remains of Lynch were in- terred this afternoon at Farley, Rev. Father Dwyer of this city officiating at the services. Paddy Lynch was about 45 years of age. For several years past he has worked n the vicinity of Farley and made his home with the family of Charles Fugelquist. He wasone of that large family peculiar to northern Minnesota, known as Sentence Postponed in Chicago and | sador Whitelaw Reid, to Viscount the"‘lumberjack." He was of a Alton Rebate Case. Chicago, July 9.—Judge Landis, in the United States district court, re- fused to grant a new trial to the Chi- cago and Alton railroad and John N. Faithorn and Fred A. Wann, former officials of the Alton, who were con- victed of the illegal giving of rebates. At the time of refusing the new trial the attorneys for the defense claimed that the granting of the rebates to the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger company was generally known in Kansas City and they asked for time to show that the rebate was given publicly and not in secret. The court, after some dis- cussion, said they would have a right .to show this hefore the punishment was determfned and gave the defense until next Wednesday to. bring evl- dence into court showing that the re- bate was generally known. TAFT AT OYSTER BAY. Secretary Spends Several Hours With President. Oyster Bay, L. L, July 9.—Secretary of War Taft came to Oyster Bay dur- ing the day to spend a few hours with | President- Roosevelt.
