Forces of infantry and cossacks have been dispatched to quell the revolt. St. Petersburg, August 3. — Premier Stolypin has gone to Peterhof with the intention, it is believed, of verdering his resig- nation. This action is the result of the refusal of the emperor to approve the premier’s plans for reorganizing the cabinet. St. Petersburg, August 3.— Advices from Finland state the revolutionists there have issued a proclamation addressed to all the citizens, declaring for a Finish republic and demanding that all persons take up arms in 'its support. The loyal troops and the revolutionists are re- ]porbed fighting at many points land enormous casualties are irumored. CUMMINS IS RENOMINATED MAKES CONCESSION TO OPPOSI- TION ON TARIFF PLANK OF THE PLATFORM, Des Moines, Aug. 3.—Governor Al bert B. Cummins was renominated by the Republican state convention hy a vote of 935 to 603 for George D. Per- kins of Sioux City, his nearest com- petitor. the 1,640 comprising the conventivn were cast for Major S. W. Rathbun. The complete ticket follows: Governor, Albert B. Cummins; lieu- tenant governor, Warren Garst; secre- tary of state, W. O. Heyward; auditor, B. F. Carroll; treasurer, W. W. Mor- attorney general, H. W. Byers; supreme judges, E. McLean and John C. Sherwin; superintendent of public instruction, John F. Riggs; clerk of supreme court, John C. Crocket court reporter, W. W. Cornwall; rail- road commissioners, W. L. Eaton and David J. Palmer. The only concessicn made to the anti-Cummins forces was on the tariff plank of the platform. Cummins will run on a platform that is in all its essentials as the standpatters want- ed it. On the tariff plank there was a de- cided . backdown from the old “Iowa idea” for immediate revision of the present schedules. While the progres- sives got the lion’s share of the offices the great state of Iowa again camo into the protection fold. Candidates All Cummins Men, Aside from the platform the rest of the Cummins programme was carrier out without a hitch. Warren Garst, for whose fate the progressives were fearful, was nominated for lieutenant governor by only sixteen votes less than was Cummins. All the other candidates of the gov- R | ernor’s faction were put through in the same thorough style. But there were no unanimous nominations. The Perkins men stood their ground to the last and sullenly went down to defeat, 7 refusing to make the least pretense of wanting to get into the Cummins bandwagon. The Cummins men tried to hold out the olive branch to the Perkins men when their defeated-leader was led on the stage to make a speech. They out shouted the Perkins delegates, but Editor Perkins checked any such harmony movement by what he said. He made a speech that poorly veiled his bitterness and chagrin and he passed Governor Cummins on the stage of the convention hall without the . -slightest sign of recognition or friend- liness when he had finished, though the Iowa governor looked at his de- feated opponent expectantly as he passed. SOUGHT REFUGE IN TUNNEL. Colorado Mine Officials Perish During Cloudburst, Ouray, Colo,, Aug. 3.—L. A. Thomp- son, general manager, and W. W. Mather, foreman of the Mickey Breen mine of the Tempest Apex company, who disappeared a week ago, were found dead under a mass of debris ina small tucnel half a mile from the Mickey Breen mine. They evidently sought refuge in the tunnel from a cloudburst and were overwhelmed by the rocks and dirt that washed into the opening from the mountainside. AGREES SON'S WISHES. Mrs. Thaw Dismisses Attorneys En- gaged for Harry's Defense. New York, Aug. 3.—A letter from Mrs. Willlam Thaw, mother, of Harry K. Thaw, has been delivered by spe- cial messenger to William M. K. Ol- cott at his office stating that C. W. Hartridge would conduct the defense of her son. The same messenger dellvered a copy of the letter to Clifford W. Hart- ridge, Thaw’s personal attorney, at his oflice just across the street from Judge Olcott’s. A family council was held at which Mrs. Willlam Thaw finally decided to yleld to her son and daughter-ih-law's pleading and allow Mr. Hartridge to have entire charge of the defense. It can be stated upon the very hest of authority that Thaw will have nis own way and be placed on trial for the murder of Stanford White without resort t6 a ecivil o criminal commis- slon to inauire into his sanitv.

Bird’s' complaint sets forth that “the defendants, together with other persons, as their agents, servants and tools, umlawfully, wrongfully and wickedly confederated and conspired to- deprive and defrzud the-plaintifi of his property and o préVent him from carrying on any other business in the island of Porto Rico; to drive him from the said island of Porto Rico and to compel him to remain without said island; being actuated by a desire to prevent an exposure of their own cor- ruption and misconduct and the cor- ruption and misconduct of their asso- clates.” > TESTIMONY COMPLETED. Arguments in Hartje Divorce Case to Begin Monday. Pittsburg, Aug. 3.—After twenty-one and a half days of actual court ses- sions the Hartje divorce case ter- minated rather suddenly during the) sides fenced for advantage over the argument, but with the consent of the attorneys and at the suggestion of the Judge, Robert S. Frazer, they were set for next Monday morning. Judge Frazer announced before the close that the case must be submitted to him by Wednesday evening, as he intended to leave for his vacation next Thursday. Immediately after the case was con- cluded Mrs. Hartje was surrounded by a group of friends, who shook her hand and congratulated her on the manner in which she held up under the severe strain. Augustus Hartje sat in his chair watching his wife closely. He, too, showed relief, but said nothing. The attorneys for both Mr. and Mrs. Hartje expressed them- selves as entirely satisfled with the case as it now stands and each side is confident that the decision of the court will be in its favor.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 3.—Collapse of the mutiny at Sveaborg, coupled with the breakdown of the plans of the revolutionists to secure possession of the Baltic squadron and provoke an immediate rising at Cronstadt, greatly ! changes the situation. The spirits of the government officials have risen and those of the revolutionists are correspondingly . depressed and the arrangements for ordering a general strike on Saturday may be counter- manded. The strike in Finland is al- ready a failure, owing to the fact that the more intelligent of the Finns did not support it,; as they realized that by placing themselves at the head of a purely. Russian revelutionary move- fent"théy might justify reprisals and Jeopardize their newly granted liber- ties. The latest reports show that all the rumors to the effect that the Baltic squadron was in the hands of the mutineers were untrue. When the mutineers, who were led by agitators from the shore and who belleved that the squadron was coming to thelr rescue, found that hope in that direc- tion was crushed dissensions broke out among them and they turned their guns upon each other. Those who had determined to die rather than surrender fired into the ranks of thelr more fainthearted comrades, who hoisted the white flag. FOR A SHORTER WORKDAY.

AMONG SAILORS, Revolutionary Propaganda Blamed for Existing Conditions. Sebastopol, Aug. 3.—Admiral Skryd- loft, commander of the Black sea fleet, ascribed the unrest in the fleet not to the economic demands of the men but to the revolutionary propaganda and the attitude of a small number of the officers.
