EXPORTS OF CANNED BEEF Total for This Year Only One-fourth That of 1906. ‘Washingtgn, May 18.—Continued de- crease in the exportation of canned beef is shown in a statement issued by the bureau of statistics of the de- partment of commerce and labor. The falling off in this trade is not confined to any one country, but is general. The exports of canned beef for April last amounted to 893,017 pounds, against 4,121,000 pounds in the sams month of last year. For the ten months ending with April the exporta- tions showed but 13,032,703 pounds, against 56,730,878 during a similar period last year. This seems to indi- cate, it is stated, that the total of canned beef exported in the full fiscal- year 1907 will scarcely reach 15,000,- 000 pounds, while last year’s total ag- gregated 64,500,000 pounds. The value of the canned beef exports will not exceed In the fiscal year about to end $1,500,000 in value, compared with $6,- 500,000 during each of the past two vears. DENOUNCES IRISH BILL.

Dublin, May 18.—At a special meet- ing of the corporation of Dublin, called to consider Mr. Birrell's Irish bill, a resolution utterly condemning the measure Wwas unanimously adopted.

An amendment calling upon the Irish parliamentary party to reject the bill was ruled out of ord Mrs. Mizner Secures Divorce. New York, May 18.—Justice Dow- ling, in the supreme court, has grant- ed an interlocutory decree of -divorce to Mary Adelaide Mizner from Wilson Mizner.

BLOODY WORK OF COSSACKS Retaliate Deed of Terrorists by Shooting Down Workmen. Lodz, Russian Poland, May 18— Forty-five officials and workmen of Kuttner's spinning mills were shot down by a patrot of Cossacks because a band of terrorists attacked a mail wagon in the neighborhood, killing a Cossack guard and wounding another Cossack and two postoffice officials, While the wagon was pasging through Lonkowa street the terrorists suddenly appeared from a side street, opened fire on the Cossack escort, seized $1,000 from the wagon and es- caped. A moment later a patrol of Cossacks arrived on the scene and, infuriated by the fate of their com- rades, rushed into the Kuttner factory, which was near the spot where the robbery occurred, and began firing in- discriminately, killing fifteen and wounding over thirty persons. The greatest indignation prevails here, as it is claimed that the em- ployes of the factory had nothing to do with the attack on the mail wagon. FOUR PERSONS KILLED. Terrorists Rob a Railroad Office at Warsaw. ‘Warsaw, Russian Poland, May 18.— A Dband of terrorists held up the city office of the Vistula railroad on Dluga street at 10 a. m. ard got away with $5,000 after a severe fight in which four persons were killed and nine wounded.

DEFENSE BLAMES GOODING dttorneys Richardson and Darrow De- clare Idaho’s Governor Inspired the Incident and Suggest That He Be Cited for Contempt. Boise, Ida., May 18.—At the opening of the Steunenberg murder trial Judge ‘Wood directed the prosecuting” attor- ney of Ada county to investigate the clrcumstances under which Harry Orchard was interviewed'for publica- tion with a view of aScertaining if there had been any attempt to influ- ence the jurors in the case and to take such steps as he found the cir- oumstances to warrant. In drawing attention to the matter Judge Wood asked counsel if they could offer any suggestions as to the duty -of the court. Mr. Richardson, for the defense, vigorously derounced the incident as a deliberate attempt to influence pros- pective jurors, suggested by the dis- closure of prejudice agaimst Harry Orchard and his testimony, and in- spired by Governor Gooding. Mr. Dar- row took the same ground and sug- gested that Governor Gooding be cited for contempt. Both Mr. Riclhard- son and Mr. Darrow protested that the publication of the Orchard interviews grievously injured the defense. Says Prosecution Will Suffer. Mr. Hawley, for the state, deplored the incident, but maintained that it would injure the prosecution more than the defense. He also drew atten- tion to the widespread newspaper campaign in behalf of the defense and the misstatements that had beén cir- culated abowt Orchard and said that he could see no harm in permitting the newspaper men to interview Or- chard on general lines. Senator Borah said he could dispose of the misapprehension of counsel for the defense that the .interview was part of a plan to give credence to Harry Orchard after it had been shown that certain talesmen were biased against him, because the effort to see Orchard.upon the part of the newspaper men had been in progress for three weeks. He spiritedly de- fended Governor Gooding and the newspaper men on the charge that they had tried to influence the jury. The trial was interrupted for an hour, at the end of which time the examination of talesmen was resumed. BYSTANDER IS KILLED. Fatality Attends Strike of New York Longshoremen. New . York, May 18.—One man was shot and instantly killed and another wounded as a result of a row growing, out of the longshoremen’s strike in Hoboken. The dead man was Harry Marshall, & bystander. The man who fired the shot and who himself was wounded while resisting arrest is Ben- jamin Vincent. Vincent is about thir- ty-five years old and is said to have been employed by a detective agency on one of the docks affected by the strike. Vincent narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of a crowd of angry strikers before he was taken to a police station. Strike sympathizers who had hidden themselves on the roof of a building overlooking a White Star line pier routed several strikebreakers who were at work on the dock by hurling bricks and other missiles at them. ‘When the police rushed to the aid of the strikebreakers one of the police- men was struck on the head by a brick. He was not seriously injured. The strike sympathizers fled. Four hundred strikebreakers em- ployed by the White Star line marched off the docks and joined the ranks of the strikers. This leaves the line with only the crews of the ships that are in port to handle the big cargoes incoming and outgoing. THREE FATALLY INJURED. Street Car Manned by Nonunion Mo- torman Jumps Track. Evansville, Ind., May 18—A street car manned by a nonunion man jumped the tracks at the corner of Eighth and Walnut streets and crashed into a brick building, wrecking the entire front of the structure.
