TWO HUNDRED SLAIN IN RUSSIAN STRIKE RIOT Vienna, Dee, 18.—The Arbeiter- Zeitung to-day says a battle has occurred between strikers and troops i at Rostofi, Russia, in which 200 were killed and 1,000 injured. The director declared he would drive the strikers back to the works with knouts, and 30,000 persons col- lected for a demonstration, Cossacks attacked the demonstrators, killing and wounding recklessly. After the first surprise the strikers rallied and attacked the Cossacks. The soldiers were dragged from their horses, dicked and stoned and beaten to-death. Re-enforeements were sum- moned. The strikers pulled up trees ard! with them constructed barracks. Heaps of stones and pieces of iron were collected and with these the troops were assailed both from the barracks and the housetops. The troops made sfx attacks on the bar- racks, but were repulsed ineach case, Inthe ranks of the strikers were 2,000 women, who fought ferocious ly. Many of these proletarian Ama- zons fell victims of the Cossack’s lances. The next day an overwhelming army barred their way to the place appointed by the strikers for a meet- fng- The demonstration however, would not be set aside, and thous- ands of them swam across the Don and a meeting was held on the other side, during which Czar Nicolas was burned in effigy.

He evidently appreci- ates the merits of the home product, for he says: “I know there must desirable be some good looking, healthy poor girls of neat and tidy habits in your vicinity who want a good home in the finest state in the union with young men of merit.” Mr. Evans is not particular as to Nationality, but expresses a prefer- ence for a Welsh, English, or Ger- man gir!, and says that there are 500 young men longing for partners from the Quaker state.

Twelve million bacteria inhabit the skins of half a pound of cherries, ac- cording to Dr. Ehrlich, a German sci- entist, who has made extensive experi- ments in regard to the infection of fruit with bacteria. Currants come next with 11,000,000 to every half- pound, and grapes next, with 8,000,000. An account of these experiments has been transmitted to the state depart- ment by United States Consular Clerk Murphy, at Frankfort.

Bot- tles of rare wines were constantly disappearing. The servants, most of whom had been with the family for many years, all avowed they knew nothing about it. At last the matter became so seri- } ous that Scotland Yard was consult- fed. A detective officer took up his residence in the mansion, but during his sojourn nothing happened to ex- cite suspicion, After he had gone, however, bottles of wine began dis- appearing again, The servants grew frightened. His lordship was — per- plexed, and consulted an electrical expert, who arranged a network ot wires in the cellars, connecting with bells in different parts of (he house The wires so crossed that it was impossible for to move rb- ing them aod set the bells ringing. For several nights the perturbed household lay uwake with their ears wide open and nerves on the stretch, but nothing happened, Peace reigned Lill one night, tinkle, tinkle went the bells, The whole house staff arose, armed itself with various weapons and descended to the basement, The cellar door was opened and a lamp flushed into the ber, Behold, there was his lordship himself, Lin pajamas, helping him- self to a bottle of wine, A hush fell upon the servants, for it was easy to see that their master was walking in his sleep. His valet followed him upstairs to a lumber- the roof, where all the misk- ing bottles were found unopened. MONSTER GUN SHIPPED. Giant Coast Defender Is Sent from | Watervliet Ansenal to Sandy Hook Proving Grounds, were anyone subterranean cham- room o1 The 16-inch coast defense gun, which was manufactured at the Watervliet arsenal, has been shipped to the Sandy flook proving grounds, The largest crane in the world had to be pressed into service to load the gun on the boat. Under the direction of Col. Farley, commandant at the arsenal, the gun was loaded on a specially constructed eighing 34,270 pounds and slowly moved to the arsenal dock, where, by means of the crane and a mammoth derrick, it was swung onto the barge. The following are the dimensions of this great weapon of coast defense: Length over all, 49 feet 2.9 inches; diameter at breech, 5 feet; bore, 16 inches, Its construction was begun May 14, 1598, and it was finished June 12, 1902. Some faint idea of its power can be obtained by the statement that it shoots a projectile weighing 2,870 pounds a distance of 21 miles. If smokeless powder is used it will re- quire 576 pounds, or about 1,000 pounds of black powder.

Mr. Cle veland is a man of courage and intense loyalty and strong intellect.
