July 20.—Vice Pres- ident Whelan of the Fidelity and Deposit Company sald to-day that the $200.000 ! contract in the name of W. E.

L MOBS IN PERGIA SLAY REFORMERS |Religious Trouble Ends in the Butchery f Babis. LONDON, Jul 30.—The Times this morning describes seditious religious riots in the city and province of Yezd, Central Persia, which lasted more than a fort-| night and culminated at the end of June. | The outbreak was directed against relig- fous reformers called Babis. In the cfty for two days every Babi found was butchered by the rabble and the mutilated bodies were dragged | through the streets, followed by exult- ant crowds. Houses were looted, women murdered and finally the priestly leaders of the rioters enjoined the populace to bring all the Babis before them for judg- ment. The Governor refused at first to listen to the threats of the crowd, but his resi- | dence was surrounded by menacing mem- bers of the mob and the following day he vielded. One Babi was blown from the ! mouth of a cannon. Order has been re- stored, but the Babis who escaped are in | { hiding. —— e COMPETE FOR HONOR OF GOING TO ASTORIA Trial Races Are Arranged for Barge Crews, Single Scullers and for Swimmers. The regatta committee of the Pacific Athletic Association met last night and discussed the Astoria regatta. Fourteen men are to go from here. These will in- clude three barge crews of four men each, a single sculler and a swimmer. The senior barge crew of the Alameda Club will surely go north, as they hold the champlonship. The other two crews will be selected from the Dolphins, Ariels, South Ends and Olympic Club. These will meet in a trial race on August 9 over the Mission Bay course, one mile, with a turn. A single sculler will be selected at the time. A tryout for swimmers will be held at the Lurline Baths on the night of August 11. The test will consist of three races at 50, 100 and 220 yards. J. Scott Leary of the Olympic Club, who has a national reputation, is expected to compete. The Lurline Club will be represented by Al Young, W. Pomin, F. Geddes and others. The athletes will go north on August 16. The regatta commences on the 19th and continues threa davs.. The Alameda Club will not be allowed to use its new boat, which is the lightest barge on the coast and which gives its crew a decided advantage. —_————— BETTORS MAKE BRITT A PRONOUNCED FAVORITE Is Installed a 1 to 2 Choice Over the Clever Boxer From Chicago. 7 The flood of Britt money in the betting market has made the Californian light- weight a pronounced 1 to 2 choice over Jack O'Keefe In to-morrow night’'s fight. The bettors are apparently out of line, taking O'Keefe's two fights with Britt as a basls of reckoning. It seems the old story of seeing only the home boy, which occurs in fight after fight in this city. Sometimes the odds are justified, but at other times they are not. Both boxers express confldence in thelr ability to win and there seems no collu- sion. Alex Greggains, manager of the club pfomoting the fight, says if anything wrong develops the boxers' share of the receipts will be given to charity. —_———————— Rioters Attack the Gendarmes.

INHEAVY BONDS Point Richmond Justice Rules on Circumstan- tial Evidence. POINT RICHMOND, July 29.—Circum- stantial evidence pointing strongly to Col- onel R. R. Thornton as the man who shot Frank Pursell several weeks ago was In- troduced in sufficient force to-day before Justice Masterson to cause the holding of the aged architect in bonds of $2500 | for trial on a charge of assault with in- tent to kill. Henry Sirrenberg, a saloonkeeper, ar- rested as an accessory lo the mysterious shooting, was discharged. Willlam Ballard was an important wit- ness for the prosecution at the prelim- inary examination. He testified that he saw smoke, as if from a gun muzzle, blow from a hole in the fence of Thorn- ton's cottage, and he alsc saw a human form moving behind the fence just after the shot that wounded Pursell was fired. Both Ballard and Pursell said they saw Thornton looking at them from his cot- tage window almost immediately efter Pursell discovered he was shot. Gus Leon saw THornton hurriedly en- ter a rear door at Sirrenberg's saloon a few minutes after the shot was fired. The prosecution’s theory is that Thorn- ton fired the shot because of a feud ex- isting between himself and Pursell, —_———— CZAR AND CZARINA JOIN TSARHOFF PILGRIMAGE Twenty Thousand Persons Will Wit- ness Canonization of Prok- hor Moshnin. ST. PETERSBURG, July 20.—The Czar, Czarina and their suites left here last evening to join the orthodox pilgrimage to Tsarhoff, province of Tamboff, where the orthodox are to celebrate the canoni- zation of the hermit Prokhor Moshnin un- der the name of Saint Seraphin. Two thousand Bishops and clergy of European Russia will participate in the ceremonies, which will last four days. LONDON, July 30.—The Daily Mail this morning prints a St. Petersburg dispatch saying that 20,000 persons are expected to attend the ceremonies at Tsarhoff. The correspondent asserts that the Czar’s pil- grimage and the canonization of Prokhor Moshnin at this time are due to the Gov- ernment’s desire to divert the public mind from the increasing revolutionary senti- ment. In this belief, the correspondent says, the anti-Government parties are al- ready spreading reports that miracles at- tributed to the saint are untrue. —_——— Lightning Kills Six Persons.

EAPOSES GOLD OF BRIBE-GIVER Deputy * Causes Sensa- tion in the Diet of Hungary. | Two Duels Are Arranged After an Uproarious Session. BUDAPEST, Hungary, July 29.—Deputy Zellman Papp caused a sensation i, the lower house of the Diet to-day by spread- ing out on the table 10,000 kroner in cash, which, he declared, him as a bribe to desert his fellow ob- structionists and leave Budapest. Herr Papp, who is a member of the Kossuth party, added that it was former Deputy Dienes who attempted to bribe him. Herr Dienes;s he asserted, had 12,000 kroner, of which sum he retained 2000 as commission, and handed 10,000 kroner to Herr Papp, which the latter accepted in order to be able to prove his allegations. Deputy Lovassey said that the edltor of the Magyar Orzag had been asked how much money would be required to buy off that newspaper's support of the obstrue- tionists. A parliamentary committee was appointed to investigate. There was a stormy scene in the Diet this afternoon when the Premier, Count Hedervary, arose ‘to commence the de- bate on the indemnity bill. The obstruc- tionists stood. up and the chamber re- sounded with deafening shouts, the bang- ing of desk lids and insults hurled at the Premier from the opposition benches. The sitting was suspended, but the scenes were repeated on its resumption and ulti- mately, being unable to, obtain a hearing, the Premier handed the clerk of the House a written motion, moving the read- ing of the bill., When the obstructionists became aware of this action a couple of members of the Kossuth party stormed the presidential tribune, snatched the pa- per from the clerk’s hands and tore it to pleces. The tribune soon filled with shotuing Deputies and amidst the turmoil the session was again suspended. The sitting was resumed for the third time and the greatest excitement pre- vailed in the lobby. Deputies Olay and Polenyo accused Premier Hedervary of instigating bribery. It is sald that two duels have been ar- ranged between Deputies. @itttk @ KING ON ERIN'S WESTERN COAST Edward and Alexandra Visit Cottages of Laborers.

To- night the warships in the bay were il- luminated and bonfires were burning on the surrounding hills. = To-morrow the King and Queen will travel by motor car through the Connemara country. Queen Alexandra has given the Earl of Dudley $2500 for distribution among the poorest people of Dublin and other parts of Ireland. e PECLARES JAPANESE SEALERS BREAK LAW Dutch Harbor Man Says Depreda- tions Will Drive Herds From Pribyloff Islands. SEATTLE, Wash., July 20.—Captain H. H. Nice, agent for the North American Commercial Company at Dutch Harbor, Alaska, who is in the city, charges the fishermen on Japanese vessels with the disappearance of seals on the Pribyloft Islands. He says that American and Can- adian fishermen masquerade under the Japanese flag and shoot seals instead of spearing them, which causes the body to sink rapidly so that many are killed to no purpose, while the shooting disturbs the breeding on nearby islands. The Canadian schooners are said to ad- here strictly to the law and keep outside the 60-mile limit. Captain Nice claims | that unless the depredations are stopped the Pribyloff Island seals will disappear in a few years. ———————— MIN MAKES THE TRACK AT CLEVELAND SLOW Caspian Wins $2000 Purse in Two Straight Heats in the 2:23 Trot.

WALLA WALLA, July 29.—An ex- tremely curlous skull, apparently prehis- toric, was brought here to-day by I. S. Bunker of Freewater, Oregon, who found it on Basket Mountain, a portion of the Blue Mountain range. Bunker found the strange specimen on a fishing trip to a remote canyon. It was embedded in blue | clay where water action had washed away six feet of alluvial deposit. Other bones which Bunker is returning to ex- cavate were around it. The skull resembles the description given of the lost pithecanthropus, or ape- man, which an expedition went to Java some time ago to find. The frontal bone slants, the skull is ten inches wide and two feet long. The upper jaw contains ten large molars lined up parallel and projecting straight out. The eye cavities are two inches in diameter, the nose is exactly like that of a man, while the space between the nose and teeth is six inches square.

It was only when we changed our policy and sus- gested retaliation that we secured the object for which we had struggled so long—that wa finally escaped a condition of things under which Austria_and Germany would be able o regulate the price of sugar in Great Britain Chamberiain said the bill would not in- crease the price of sugar, but by giving greater stability and certainty to the trade would benefit the sugar interests.
