Salmon, former chief of the bureau of animal industry, has been advised by the Uruguayan gov- ernment of the acceptance of his offer to organize a bureau of animal indus- try for thnt government at a salary of $6,000: annually in gold and all of his living expenses. . During the next three months the White House and the grounds sur- rounding it will be closed to the pub- lic, and the executive mansion will be in the hands of mechanics. A large amount of work will be done this sum- mer, some of it being made necessary by leaky roofs of two large wings. The next chairman of the interstate sommerce commission probably will be James S. Harlan of Illinois, son of Justice Harlan of the supreme court and ex-attorney general of Porto Rico. This is the information received by those in close touch with the commis- sion. It was unofficially said several days ago that the president probably FOUND IN MINNEAPOLIS aeea! FATALLY WOUNDED AND HER CLOTHING ABLAZE. Minneapolis, July 11.—With two gaping wounds on her head, her cloth- ing ablaze and practically every inch of skin on the upper. part of her body burned away, a woman was found in a delirium of pain, groping about her room in the National hotel about 2:30 yesterday afternoon. She died soon afterward while being taken t the city hospital.

The collection of relics of Gen. La- fayette, exhibited at the Chicago expo- sition in 1893, were sold at auction at Christie’s, in London, for $27,000. The purchaser was a Londoner named Jackman, who outbid a competitor rep- resenting American interests. Reports that yellow fever has ap- peared in Cuba were made public in New Orleans-a few days ago by the state board of health. The reports come from Louisiana health inspectors resident in Cuba, who say that cases of yellow fever were reported June 17, 20, 26 and 27. The London correspondent at Shang- hai reports that imperial troops have captured 5,000 rebels at Hsicheng near Hangchow. The correspondent also states that the Big Knife secret so- ciety killed a magistrate at Hsicheng and destroyed the Protestant and Catholic churches there. The Japanese, according to the cor- respondent at Seoul of the London Daily Mail, have virtually made the emperor of Korea a prisoner in his own palace by surrounding it with po- lice. The emperor recently asked per- mission to take refuge in the Ameri- can legation, but was refused. Dunkan Bankhart, consul general of Salvador, according to a dispatch from Mexico City, says that all relations’ between Salvador and Guatemala have ceased. He says Salvadoreans are to a man in favor of the Guatemalan rev- olution. The policy of the revolution- ists is to continue a guerilla warfare. Sig. Guattierro, champion Italian waltzer, offered a prize of $200 for any- body who could outwaltz him. Three Frenchmen, an Italian and a Russian accepted the challenge. The contest | took place in the Tivoli Vauxhall dan- cing hall in Paris. Guattierro won easily. He waltzed unceasingly for fourteen hours, during which a com- patriot, Poliluigi, played the piano steadily, performing fifty-four waltzes. A series of native outrages culmin- ated Monday night, when a band of desperadoes shouting the rebel Zulu chief, Bambaata’s name and terroriz- ing the southern suburbs of Johannes- burg, attacked a number of whites, stabbing them with assaigas and rob- bing them. The victims included Mr. Madison, an Australian minister, who, with some others, is im a precarious conditon. The residents demand that a special protective force be recruited. ‘ eg General.

MUTINY IN ARMY SPREADS CZAR CONSIDERS FORMATION OF CADET MINISTRY TO STEM REBELLION. St. Petersburg, July 10.—The douma, the soviet and the country at large do not share in the optimism of the min- istry, but consider that the revolution has already begun and that the only question is where it will stop. Saturday Warsaw, Tiflis, Riga, Kiev and Moscow reported strikes, bomb ex- plosions and highway robberies. Life is safe nowhere. In the Kiev and Sa- mara, districts the peasants and the administration forces have met in reg- ular battle, the latter being defeated. The disaffection in the army is spreading. Yesterday a Cossack offi- cer led a delegation of his fellow Cos- sacks to the douma to protest against interior police service by their forces. The government is now obliged to abandon the mobilization of the Cos- sacks, Even the gendarmes are unre- liable. Czar May Yield More. At Peterhof there is uninterrupted deliberations. The czar is considering the formation of a cadet ministry, but deems this the gravest step taken since the time of Peter the Great, be- cause it would reduce the authority of the monarch below that of the presi- dent of France. Therefore he insists that the cadets guarantee that they will be his ministers, not the douma’s. He demands also that they give proof of their ability to pacify the country. The behavior of the army, the peo- ple and the douma is feverish. Women and children are being sent abroad Many Jews are fleeing to America. The courtiers argue that the cadets are no longer’ masters of the situa- tion, Situation Grows Worse. According to advices received here from Moscow, there are now 20,000 workmen on strike in the city, and conditions are hourly becoming more threatening. All of the police and sol- diers on duty there have been notified to use the strictest measures to pre- vent crowds gathering on the streets and to compel all persons who cannot show authority to keep off the streets after nightfall. The situation in the Caucasus is de cidedly threatening, and a large de- tachment of Cossacks, armed with rapid-fire guns, have been dispatched there on a special train. Ship Away Valuables. At Isofka there have been a number of pitched battles fought between the Cossacks and the striking miners, in which the casualties have been heavy on both sides. It is asserted in official circles in St. Petersburg that the several grand dukes are taking the most gloomy view of the situation. All are said to have sent their valuables to Paris and other European centers, and to be ready to flee the country at an hour’s notice. The rumor is again afloat that the czar has asked that one of the powers send a warship to wait at a convenient point to take off the royal family in case of a revolution and convey them to a place of safety. Lock Horns on Agrarian Law. The first paragraph of the proposed agrarian law, the augmentation of the lands of the peasants by the expropria- tion oll state and crown domains and church and monastery lands, has been accepted by the committee of the low- er house with practical unanimity. The commissioners have now locked horns over the mode of expropriation and the method of disposal of private estates, and the end is not yet in sight. A correspondent of the Asso- ciated Press has just completed a tour of the provinces of Samara and Sara- tov. He reports that the drouth is finally broken, but that the rains have come too late to save the crops. In Pitiable Condition. The peasants are in a pitiable con- dition. Their cattle have either been sold or are starving in the fields. The government relief granaries were com- pletely emptied during last year’s fam- ine. The present agrarian disorders, which can be expected to grow worse, are due rather to efforts of the peas- ants to secure food. The- disorders have reached the highest pitch in the Voronezh, where the the acting secretary. of the treasury ,‘Toops and Cossacks, although in con- Stating that the state department had officially recognized Sun Sze Yee the consul general at this port, and, the collector was notified to act ac- cordingly.

Pouce weT_wrtsows] CARRY WAR TO. WORST MEETING YET BREAKS OUT IN KASARVA REGIMENT OF CAVALRY. St. Petersburg, July 11—Political demonstrations in which the crowds carried red flags and sang revolution- ary songs, occurred in many places in St. Petersburg yesterday, necessitat- ing the interference of the police and military patrols. Street cars were held up and their occupants were compelled to uncover and salute the red flag. The most serious affair was that near the Moscow railroad station, where an Officer, later identified as Lieut. Tom, made a_ revolutionary speech to a crowd of 2,000 people. A detachment of police attempted to dis- perse the assemblage, but the people armed themselves with stones dug up from the streets and. beat off the po- lice and a squadron of Cossacks. Fire Blank Volley. Eventually the Cossacks were rein- forced and fired a blank volley in the air, whereupon the rioters fled to the neighboring courts. Only a few per- sons were slightly injured. Lieut. Tom was arrested and taken to the fortress. A meeting which was addressed by orators from the windows of the Con- stitutional Democratic club was dis- persed by mounted gendarmes. Sev- eral persons were wounded with sa- bers, and a performance at the Peo- ple’s palace was broken up, the audi- ence singing the “Marseillaise” as they dispersed. Most Serious Meeting Yet. Tambov, July 11—A mutiny broke out in the Kasarva regiment of cay- alry and during the consequent disor- der an infantry officer and a soldier of the Nejinel dragoons, who attacked the mutineers, were killed. The mu- tineers have barricaded themselves in the barracks. St. Petersburg, July 11—The news of the mutiny of Tambov, which is ap- parently the most serious of such af- fairs since the Sebastopol mutiny, is confined to the bare details of a censor agency dispatch showing that the mu- tineers, when attacked by loyal troops, offered armed resistance before re- treating to their barracks, where they are now barricaded. Calls Trepoff a Liar. St. Petersburg, July 11.—Smarting under Gen. Trepoff’s epithet of liar, ap- plied in the interview published July 7, Prince Urusoff declared yesterday to the Associated Press that he was in possession of full documentary evi- dence to. prove his charges that anti- Jewish excesses throughout the coun- try had been inspired from St. Peters- burg, and not as Gen. Trepoff asserted, due to the arbitrary action of embit- tered local officials. Prince ‘usofft said the documents would be publish- ed within a fortnight and that the pub- lic would then be able.to judge wheth- er he or Gen. Trepoff was a liar. GRAFTERS WILL NOT SUFFER. Pennsylvania Railroad Men Sell Hold- inas at Good Prices, Philadelphia, July 11—No hardship is placed upon the employes of the Pennsylvania railway who grafted thousands of dollars’ worth of valuable goal stock, but who, under a recent or- der of President A. J. Cassatt, are in- structed to sell their holdings at once. General discontent and thinly veiled threats to talk, coming from some of the more powerful grafters, has caus- ed the circulation of a story that these men are to be well cared for. For this purpose there is being or- ganized a large holding pool, composed of men prominent in the mining bus!- ness who have yet much to hope for from the railroad. Prominently men- | tioned in connection with this syndi- cate are the names of Cassatt & Co., bankers, and Congressman George H. Huff of Pennsylvania. This syndicate will, it is said, buy at a fair price all the coal stock own- ed by railroad men and thus relieve these possessors of grafted stock from having to sell their hldings in a firm- ‘ng market. The firm of Cassatt & Co. is made up of J. Gardner Cassatt, the brother, and Robert Kelso Cassatt, the son of A. J. Cassatt, and John Lloyd, a large coal mine operator. Lloyd, before the state commerce commission, admitted having given large blocks of coal stock to railroad employes. When he comes forward and redeems this gift.stock for cash there is no doubt that the railroad men will feel grateful. GUARD PAYS FINE. Man Protecting the President Pleads Guilty of Assault. Oyster Bay, July 11.—President Roosevelt’s secret service body guard, James O. Sloan, pleaded guilty and was fined $10 by Squire Franklin yesterday morning for assaulting Clar- ence Le Gendre, a newspaper photog rapher, July 1, when the executive ar- cived from Washington. His plea stopped all airing of the case. The fine was paid. FINDS BABY’S HAND IN FISH. Grewsome Discovery by a Woman at Crockston, Crookston, Minn., July 11—While cleaning a fish which her husband had ‘caught in the river near the water power company’s dam, Mrs. Henry Bushe discovered in its interior a baby’s hand. The find nearly sent Mrs. Bushe into hysterics and she threw the fish and all away, so that it PACIFIC COAST ’ EXTENSION OF INQUIRY INTO STANDARD OIL AFFAIRS BE- ING PLANNED. CLEVELAND INQUIRY STARTS ALLEGED VIOLATIONS QF ANTI- REBATE LAWS BEING LOOK- ED INTO. Washington, July 11—Plans for a visit to the Pacific coast by the inter- state commerce commission about Sept. 1, to continue the investigation into the affairs of the Standard Oil , company are now being discussed. No decision has been reached as to wheth- er the commission will go to the coast, but one of the things that will be ar- ranged is how far the coal and oil in- vestigations of the commission and the burean of corporations can be kept from overlapping. Upon the ar- rangement in this line will depend the visit of the commission to the coast. The last meeting of the present com- mission will be held Thursday, after which the members will scatter for the summer. When it meets again, Sept. 1, it will consist of seven members, instead of five, and James S. Harlan, the son of Associate Justice Harlan, will in all probability be the chairman. Cleveland Inquiry Starts. Cleveland, Ohio, July 11.—The United States grand jury of this fed- eral district began the investigation of violations of interstate commerce and anti-rebate laws alleged to have been committed by varius prominent railroads and the Standard Oil com- pany. Only five witnesses were examined during the day. The testimony of none of them so far, it was declared, was of a sensational nature. It is said, however, that the day’s develop- ments opened up a new line of pro- cedure to the government officials, but the exact nature of it was not reveal- ed. At the end of the day’s session District Attorney Sullivan hastened to complete the work of issuing a large number of subpoenas which will be served to-day. Two of ths witnesses especially desired are sald to be in Chicago. Samuel Rockwell, chief en- gineer of the Lake Shore railway, was subpoenaed last night, and Clement Schaefer, state deputy oil inspector in the Findlay ditsrict, will be subpoe- naed to-day. Summons Independent Refiners. Pittsburg, July 11.—It was learned yesterday that, through the United States marshal’s office in this city, subpoenas have been served upon Lewis Emery, Jr., Democratic and Lin- coln party candidate for governor; J. P. Brockway of Warren, Pa., and W. P. Westlake of Titusville, in one of the Standard Oil investigations by the in- terstate commerce commission. The above mentioned are cited to appear before the commission at Elmira, N. Y., on July 12. All are independent oil refiners. Combine to War on Trusts. Austin, Tex., July 11—The attorney general’s department of Texas and the attorney general's department of Ar- kansas will co-operate in the investi- gation and prosecution of trusts which are alleged to be doing business in vio- lation of the law in these two states. Attorney General R. V. Davidson and two of his assistants, Jewel P. Light- foot and Claude Pollard, left last night for Texarkana, where they will have # conference with Attorney General R. L. Rogers of Arkansas. A plan of ac- tion will be outlined at this confer- ence.. SECTION FOREMAN IS KILLED. Shot by Companion of Man Whom He Had Assaulted. Helena, Mont., July 11.—Because they insisted on riding on his handcar, which was “trailing” a freight train, Section Foreman Herman Eberhart struck an Italian named Dominick with a wrench, when Dominick’s brother-in-law, Frank Liperti, drew a revolver and shot him in the groin, death ensuing immediately. Dommick and Liperti escaped into the woods. BOY HANGS SELF. Temporary Insanity Is Assigned as Cause of Suicide. Wahpeton, N. D., July 11.—Ralph Lawrence, seventeen years old, hang- ed himself in a sheep barn on the Adams farm, twelve miles southwest of this city. Lawrence and his two brothers have been employed on the farm for some time, one brother being the bookkeeper. It is believed he was temporarily insane. TO SHIP BEEF SOON. Growers Expect Good Cattle to Bring p Prices of Last Season. Dickinson, N. D., July 11.—Beef ship- ments will commence soon in this part of the country. It will be at least a month in advance of former years, but the fine winter left range cattle in un- usually good flesh, and rains have made abundance of feed. Consequent- ly shipments are booked early. Grow- ers expect good native beef cattle to bring about the same prices that they did last season. :
