Johannesburg, Aug. 2.—The pro- posals of the British government for the establishment of a constitutional government in the Transvaal, as an- nounced in the house of commons Tuesday, were received here with a feeling of relief and were welcomed as being reasonably democratic. It is anticipated that all the parties will accept the constitution and loyally try to make the best of it.

Auz—2—The board of-dt- rectors of the American Baseball as- sociation, in session here to probe charges against Umpire Clarence B. Owens of having placed bets upon the results of gemes in which he officiated as umpire, completely exonerated Owens. Two resolutions were pre- pared and adopted without a dissent- ing vote. The first resolution declared the charges “wholly and entirely false” and were “maliciously made for the purpose of injuring” Owens.

Lively Scene at Colored Religious Convention. Washington, Aug. 2—For a time the proceedings of the Negro Young People’s Christian and Educational congress were marked by great dis- order. Hundreds of delegates arose from their seats and surged toward the center of the hall, shouting at the tops of their voices in protest against a decision of the presiding officer re- garding the carrying out of the pro- gramme. Several of the cooler heads sought to restore quiet, but they were howled down. Finally the choir was called upon and after several hymns were sung order was restored by the presiding officer modifying his de- oision to suit the discontents, The congress then proceeded with business. A number of papers relat- ing to the moral and religious bettor- ment of the negro were read. GEORGIA NEGRO LYNCHED. 8hot to Death on the Street of a Su- burb of Atlanta.

BEVOLUTIONISTS WiLDLY JUBILART WILL SEIZE OPPORTUNITY FOR PRECIPITATING CENERAL ENGAGEMENT. St. Petersburg, Aug. 2—The great- est excitement prevails here as a re- bult.of the startling news from Svea- borg and there is the deepest appre- hension regarding the situation at Cronstadt, as there i little doubt that the rising of the garrison of the “Gib- hllar of the Baltic” was a premature gttempt to execute a widespread mili- tary conspiracy, which involved the belzing of the fortresses of Sveaborg, Cronstadt and Sebastopol as bases for the revolting Black sea and Baltic feets. Both telegraph and telephone com- munication with Cronstadt was cut lluring the night, but no scund of fir- Ing has yet been heard. Although it Is learned that a summons to revolt was issued there the chief point now In doubt is whether the main part of the Baltic flec, consisting ot a battle- ship and three cruisers, which were hurriedly sent from Reval to Helsing- fors upon receipt of the ncws of the mutiny at Sveaborg, has joined in the rebellion. There is no exaggeration in saying that the blow coming thus suddenly from an unexpected quarter has caused dismay in government circles and the feeling of alarm is increased by the bad news from’ the interior, The strikes are spreading rapidly. The whole of the Donets basin, the center of the mining and smelting industry, is In the Grip of the Strikers, 20,000 walking out at Usokova, while from the ,viceroy of the Caucasus comes news that the garrison of Bee- lagar, commanding the famous fron gate at Derbent, received the news of the dissolution of parliament by kill- Ing their commanding officer, install- Ing themselves in complete control of the city and placing their sentinels before the post, telegraph and other Fovernment buildings. The revolutionists are wildly ju- bilant. Although the mutiny at Svea- borg occurred unexpectedly they in- stantly decided that they must take kdvantage of it and immediately pre- oipitate the general engagement be- ween the government and people for ‘which they have been preparing. They express the most supreme confidence that the military supports of the gov- ernment will break where they are least expected and that the govern- ment will find, when the test comes, the army divided against itself and that units supposed to be loyal will fight on the side of the people with the workmen’s councils. The workmen’s councils here and at Moscow have already issued warnings Er the workmen organizations through- ut the country to hold themselves in keadiness to strike and the revolution. ary military committee is acting with energy. They declare that the crews of the warships at St. Petersburg are Feady BATTLE RAGES AT SVEABORG MUTINEERS AND LOYAL TROOPS FIGHTING FOR THE MAIN FORTIFICATION. Helsingfors, Finland, Aug. 2.—The Aght between the mutineers and the loyal troops was waged during most of the past night. The cannonade was heavy, the firing of the guns furnish- Ing an awe-inspiring spectacle to the thousands lining the points of vantage pn Observatory hill. The loyal minor- Ity seemed to command the forts on Nicholal island, which was engaged in B duel with Sandhamms’ formidable masked batteries. At 10 a. m. they were still exchanging broadsides at ten-minute intervals. The victims so far transported to Melsingfors number less than fifty, of Whom fifteen are dead, but thus far fhe number of killed or wounded in the Sveaborg hospitals has not been ascertainable. Order has been restored at Skatud- flen island, where 110 sailors and leven civilians have been disarmed. From the civilian point of view the tocal situation is easier. No cruisers are visible. Troops are expected here, but the destruction of the bridge near Rihimaeki railroad ptation and the tearing up of the per- manent way at several points delays the arrival of reinforcements. The town is quiet and business s proceeding, but the workmen are on strike. The telegraph building here has been ruined and the barracks and eathedral have been badly damaged by the fire of the 11-inch guns. The socialists are on the alert and the townspeople are in fear of a can- honade if the naval squadron arrives. For more than a week Russian rev- olutionists: have”been- working -ammong: the troops, distributing the Viborg and group of toil manifestos and it is re- ported that on Sunday 1,500 soldiers took an oath to fight on the side of the people. At 2 p. m. heavy cannonading con- tinued at Sveaborg, showing that the fight for the possession of the main fortification is still in progress. It is impossible from the shore to ascertain the exact situation. The only reinforcements which have arrived here are two companies of the Finnish regiment. In response to the call for a general strike only the employes of private Zactories have gone out. - ! COMMUNICATION CUT. Wires From St. Petersburg to Cron- stadt Severed.

Coachman Testifies Regarding Hartje ; Divorce Case Letters. Pittsburg, Aug. 2—Thomas Madine, the former coachman of Augustus Hartje and named by the libellant as co-respondent, was the first witness in surrebuttal when the trial of the Hartje divorce case was resumed. Counsel for Hartje objected strenu- ously to all questions asked Madine, but Judge Fraser admitted most of the evidence. The witness contradicted nearly every detail of the detectives’ testi- mony, testifying that his trunk was empty and that pictures the detectives saild were in the trunk were in a bureau. His stolen spurs, he said, were wrapped in flannel and not the letters. Concerning the letters Madine said they were never in his posses- sion and he had ncver heard of them until they were intrcduced in court. Madine admitted that a letter and a telegram signed by John F. Scott were stolen from hin:, but insisted that they had never heen placed in the trunk but kept always in a bureau drawer. He sail that a jockey jacket, a pair of spurs r ad an {nsuraace policy were taken, a3 well as two letters from his brothor. The'e werc three letters of reccmmendation also miss- ing, he declared. Mrs. Hartje, the respondent, was recalled and swore she wrote only two letters to Susie Wagner. She also denied that she had promised Blanche Ashby $300 to testify in her favor or that she had told her what testimony to give. ¥ Malting Plant Damagea.

Ry B —_— GOVERNOR OF IOWA WILL BE RE- NOMINATED BY REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION, £ | BUBLIC SHOWS UNUSUAL INTEREST BPECTATORS FILL ALL AVAILA- BLE SPACE IN AUDITORIUM AT DES MOINES, i Des Moines, Aug. 2.—The Repub- Hean state convention will not split. Cummins will be renominated, but the outcome as to Heutenant governor and ene railroad commissioner is uncer- tain. It is not likely that the action of the state central committee as to the contests will be sustained by the committee on credentials. An agree- ment may be reached by the factions a8 to the resolutions and only one re- port submitted. Judge H. M. Towner of Corning, & standpatter and the selection of the state central committee for temporary chairman, was allowed to take the chair without opposition by the Cum- mins men. The Auditorium, where the conven- tion was held, was crowded to the doors when Chairman Spence of the state central committee called the delegates to order and named H. M. Towner for temporary chairman. There were not enough seats for the 1,640 delegates in the parquet circle, 80 one district delegation was assigned chairs on the stage and two other delegations were given seats in the dress circle. Every other seat and all the available room was occupled by spectators. No previous state conven- tion excited such interest in Des Moines or Iowa. At the conclusion of the speech of the temporary chairman the usual com- mittees were announced and the con- vention adjourned until afternoon. The committee on credentials de- cided to take up all the contests. It 18 not likely, therefore, that the con- vention will reach actual business un- til late in the afternoon. PROSPERITY AND. ROOSEVELT. Rallying Cry ef the Republican Cam- paign. New York, Aug. 2.—Congressman Sherman, who is chairman of the Re- publican congressional committee, has formally got to work on the volumin- ous mail which has accumulated since he appealed through the newspapers to every Republican voter to conm- tribute $1 to the campaign fund. Mr. Sherman said that the result of the appeal was cxtremely gratifying. “I do not want to go into exact de- tails,” he remarked, “but I can say that the replies containing $1 for the fund have already reached well up into four figures. Contributions are being received from nearly every state in the Union. “We have figured that probably not more than ten Republicans in a hun- dred will see the appeal. If one out of every ten, however, sends us $1 we will have enough to meet the expenses of our campaign. According to the vote for Roosevelt there are 7,600,000 Republicans in the country. One dol- lar from 1 per cent of these would &ive us $76,000. % Mr. Sherman was asked what thé rallying cry of the campalgn would be.” He answered: = “Prosperity and Roosevelf, &nd you may add that the record of the last congress will also be made a part of the argument to voters. We have every reason to be proud of that rec- ord, although prosperity and Roosevelt is inspiring enough.” b i B OHIO WILL STAND PAT. Senator Dick Says That Will Be Atti- ° tude of Republicans. Oyster Bay, L. I, Aug. 2.—Senator Charles Dick of Ohio, after his confer- ence with President Roosevelt, gave out an interview in which he said that the Ohio Republican state platform would contain a strong endorsement of the president and his administra- tion and a “stand pat” declaration re- garding the tariff. “It would be practically impossible for the Sixtieth congreas to revise the tariff,” he remarked, “besides it would be decidedly bad political sense. ‘There has never been an exception to the occurrence that when a political party in control of congress under- took to revise the tarift two years pre- eeding a national election it failed to - elect its candidates in that election.” San Francisco Lumber Combine.
