New York, July 26.—The identity of Samuel Byerley, the successful bidder for $5,800,000 of the new Panama ca- nal 2 per cent bonds, has been learned. Byerley turns out to be a clerk in the accounting department of the Amer- ican Express company. The general opinion among those in the company's office is that Byerley is taking a little flyer, which has not cost him anything more tangible so far than nerve. Under the terms of the sale no money need be put up until Aug. 1. Byerley made four bids. For $1,000,000 of the bonds he offered 104.125; for the sccond $1,000,000 103.090; for the third $1,000,000 103. 775, and for $2,819,680 he offered 103.- 867. The New York syndicate that got one-half of the $30,000,000 bonds has put up a price on them of 104,10, It was figured out by the bond ex- perts that should Byerley sell his op- tion at 104 he would clear 850 with- out putting up a cent save for the postage stamp which carried his bid +n Washineton PREFERS JAIL FOR LIFE.

HOT PREPARED FOR LONG SIEGE BHRINK FROM FACING THE OR- DEAL OF STARVATION AND MILITARY RULE. St. Petersburg, July 26.—The pro- posed general political strike, which 1s backed by a mass of oratory, still hangs fire, encouraging the belief on the part of the bureaucracy that the government’s coup d'etat has been successful. Appearances, however, are deceptive. The indecision of the proletariat organizations only proves that In spite of their boasts that they were prepared for eventualities ey were taken off their guard. Even the boldest of the members of parliament who united in the appeal to the people not to pay taxes or furnish recruits to the army realize that unless it Is supported by an upheaval from below the government can snap its fingers for the present at their proclamations. The leaders of the proletariat organ- izations understand fully that the bur- den now falls on them, but they also appreciate that a certain numbness has taken possession of the people. Though the popular passions have not cooled the long nervous strain has produced a sort of exhaustion which makes it more difficult to induce them te go forward and embark on the pri- vations and sacrifices involved in a general strike, Opportune Moment at Hand. On the other hand they recognize that if the psychological moment is lost, with the machinery of repression in full operation, it will be well nigh Impossible to organize an uprising later and that they will be compelled to wailt for another spontaneous up- heaval like that of last fall. For these reasons the majority of the prole- tariat leaders, backed by the group of toil and the majority of the Constitu- tional Democrats, are Insisting that the die must be cast. The Soclal Democrats have already given their vote in favor_ of .calling -a -general strike not later.than Monday, but some of the workmen’s unions, con- sidering how limited are their re- sources, shrink from facing the ordeal of starvation and bayonets. Anticipat- ing an immediate and extensive move- ment among the peasants in the South they urge delay until the tide of re- volt sweeps northward. by Prince Dolgouroukoff’s. permanent parliamentary committee held several sessions during the day, but the great- est secrecy 1s observed to prevent the government from getting wind of the decisions, In the meantime government notes, inspired by Premier Stolypin, are be- ing busily issued, assuring the public of the government’s honorable inten- tlons to “continue the liberal regime.” STOLYPIN DECLARES WAR. Liberals in Russia Must Be Promptly Suppressed. Bt. Petersburg, July 26.—Premier Stolypin, with the emperor’s approval, has declared war with no quarter upon all individuals and organizations that advocate a more liberal regime in Russia. In a telegram addressed to the gov- ernors general and prefects through- out Russia and to the viceroy of the Caucasus they are ordered to strike and spare not in efforts to preserve order and crush “the enemies of soci- ety.” Included in this category, as shown by the events of the day, are not only revolutionists and socialists, but also the educated liberal and landed classes represented in the Constitu- tional Democratic party, whose clubs everywhere have been closed, and all the progressive newspapers, which are not permitted to lift their voices any- ‘where throughout the entire land. 8TABBED TO DEATH.

Cleveland, July 26.—The Municipal Traction compahy, recently organized to construct and operate a number of street car lines in this city on a 3-cent fare basis, began an attack on the Cleveland Electric Raflway company during the day @y suddenly putting a force of 500 men at work tearing up the tracks of the latter company in Fulton street. Mayor Johnson, who is credited with belng largely interested in the Municipal Traction company, was personally on the ground, as was also Chief of Police Kohler and a large -number of officers.. Within a short time more than a quarter of a mile of track had been tbrn up. Officials of the Cleveland Electric Railway com- pany said they would apply for an in- junction at once. _ | ° Mayor Johnson said the action was taken because the Cleveland Electric Railway company refused or neglected to comply with a council resolution re- quiring it to take up its tracks in Ful- ton street .and remove them to the east side of the street. The mayor intimated that he would not obey -an injunction if one were issued and said that as a result he might be in jail before night. Johnson Ignores injunction. Subsequently the mayor stated that the tracks were being removed by city employes under the supervision of the board of public service and not by the Municipal Traction company, as had at first been generally believed. Judge Ford, in common pleas court, granted an injunction restraining the pany from further interfering with the tracks of the Cleveland Electric, Rail- road company in Fulton street. The Cleveland Electric Railway company declared the actiop of Branting~-the right “w. tracks was a violation of its franchise rights. The injunction was served upon Mayor Johnson personally as he was overseeing the work of tearing up the tracks. He acknowledged the service and put the document in his pocket, but told the men to proceed with their work and ignore the court’s or- der. Quite a large amount of work remained to be done when the injunc- tion was served. The work of tearing up the tracks of the Cleveland. Electric Rallway company in Fulton street was com- pleted shortly after noon and prepara- tions were at once begun to lay the tracks ‘of the Municipal Street Rail- ‘way company in that thoroughfare.

Brinkley, Ky., July 26.—Much ex cltement prevails here as the result of an order by Judge Gardener of the county court summoning a posse of | 300 men to bring in a.party of feud- ists, dead or alive, from Beaver Creek. As a final warning to the mountaln- eers Sheriff Hays left Hinchman for Beaver Creek, where certain members of the Hall and Martin families, under indictment on the charge of murder, have been defying the authorities for some time. The Halls are at the home of Dick Hall, the wounded leader of their faction, and Wyatt Martin is hiding in the mountains THAW'S MOTHER MAY ACT. Can Appeal to Courts to Appoint Lunacy Commission. I New York, July 26.—Some of Harry Thaw's lawyers have made it known ! that he would positively go to trial for j killlng Stanford White and that there would be no proceedings in the crim- inal courts looking to an examination into his mental condition. Further- more, it was said the trial would begin on Oct. 16. The prosecution has assured Thaw’s lawyers that the district attorney will ceortainly not apply for a commission to examine Thaw and that should an informal request be made by repre- sentatives of his mother for such ac- tion it will not be acceded to. Thaw’s present lawyers were hired to stave off insanity proceedings and to get a trial for their client. 5 From the fact that the firm retatned by Thaw’s mother is still working on the case and is gathering evidence to show that Thaw is insane there has } been a lot of speculation as to what move is to be iade by them. With the announcement that they would have no standing in criminal proceed- ings as counsel for Mrs. William Thaw there came a report that application would be made shortly to the civili courts for the appointment of a lunacy , commission. It is even said that within a very short time application will be made to the supreme court by | the prisoner’s mother as the nearest | of kin. | $5.00 Suits 2 fords at, a pair, Ladies’ Muslm Underwear. a delayed spring ship- derwear, these goods the advance in price, in the lot at old price We have just receiv’d ment of Muslin were bought before you can buy anything Glassware.
