SOMEBODY says that Senator Pal
mer is the first Democratic Senator
from Illinois for thirty years. Beg
pardon but is he a Democratic SEN
ator? We had an idea that he was
q hard cash Senator, and, unfortu-
nately, not the first of his kind
either.

RIOTS ABOUT RYE.
Russian Peasants Rendered
Reckless by Hunger.
Attacks Made in Many Places on Stores
Of Grain.
The Troops Unable 10 Restore 0rdsr-Pre-

YatiOn at Home.
Epecial to THE MORNING CALI.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 26-Further par
ticulars regarding the atte mpts Of the
peasants to prevent the export of rye by
force show that the affair was more serious
than was believed. Reports from Shawl
state that few days ago number of poor
Jewish workmen observed some wagons
containing rye which was being con-
veyed to the railway station for
export to Libau. They prostested, and
in a few minutes the wagons were
surrounded by an excited crown and brought
by force to the courtyard of the Town Hall
and unloaded. The crowd then rushed to
the railway station to prevent the rye stored
there being loaded on cars. The excited
peasants flung themselves on the rails before
the cars.
On the following day fresh disorders arose
on report being spread that a large
quantity of rye was expected at the
railway station of Krushani. An immense
crowd proceeded thither and an en-
counter took place between the peasants
accompanying the grain wagons and the ex-
cited crowd. The rim ngleaders were arrested
by the police, bat 800 rioters stormed the
jail and liberated them. A guard was
called in but failel to restore order, and
peace was obtained only on the arrival of
the One Hundred aud Thirteenth Regiment.
Similar scenes occurred in Ida, in which
place the crowd shouted out that they
would rather go as prisoners to Siberia than
die hungry at home. At railway station
at Wilma the same kind of excesses pre-
vailed, and at Smorg0ni the crowd behaved
with like violence, evidently reckless with
hunger.

ABURGLARS' SYNDICATE.
The Business of Th!eving Controlled by a
Regular Bureau.

The Business of Th.eving Controlled by a
Regular Bureau.
A burglars syndicate or trust now exists,
according to high police authorities of
Milwaukee. In fact there are said to be
about dozen of these syndicates, and the
next move will be to consolidate them. The
fact leaked out through the arrest of a
noted criminal few days ago on suspicion
In his day he was one Of the most noted
bank robbers of the East, and his picture
adorns nearly every rogues' gallery in the
country ana occupies q full page in In
spector Byrnes' book of noted criminals.
For some time the police of this city have
had an idea that an association of thieves
have been working the town. The variety
of work done puzzled them, however, as it
extended from safe-cracking to sneak
thieving. When this man was arrested the
officials decided to pump him. An attempt
was made TO make him believe the police
had case against him, but he so stOutly
maintained that he had done no "work "
for year that this was given up. 1t was
decided to send him up to the House of Cor
rection for year or so on general princi-
pies. When he learned of this programme
he broke down and said he was already
dying of consumption.
A bargain was made, and he told of the
Burglars Syndicate" with which lie was
connected. A little investigation convinced
the officers of the truthfulness of his story,
and they are now at work on the strength of
the information furnished.
The first trust was formed in New York
City by a confidence man nearly year ago.
II was his theory that burglars, safe break
erS, bank sneaks. pickpo,kets, balcony men
and the whole coterie were like day labor
ers-they needed management With a
shrewd manager at their head many of their
stupid blunders could be prevented, and by
systematic work the chances of detection
could be greatly cut down. He got about
twenty-five men together and so conducted
matters that very few knew each other.
With capital stock of $1,000 he mapped out
a route. sent scouts or travelling lookouts
ahead and furnished transportation for his
men.
The tour was very successful and only one
man was held, and he finally escaped by the
power of money furnished by the syndicate.
This summer half a dozen of such gangs
have worked different territory. That Wis
consin has been thus foraged within the
last two months is no longer matter of
doubt. The method was for men to Jump
into town or city at night, do their work
and then move on to the next stand. In
large cities these artists played weeks en-
gagement instead of a one-night stand

He Confessed His Ignorance,

On one Of the late boats from Bay Ridge
last evening were a well-dressed man and
woman who sat side by side on the deck
talking earnestly.
When the boat was about west of Gov
ernors Island the man said in aloud voice
81 say 1t was. and that settles it,"
"Oh, well, it does not" said his compan-
ion. rising from her seat and bringing a
parasol down on his head with bang; but
that does"
Evidently it did. for the man jumped from
his seat and quickly put the length OF the
boat between the parasol and his head,
which, by the way, was bald on top and
bled little from the blow.
To few men who gathered around him
with inquiring faces as he mopped his cram
ium, he said:
Its all right. gentlemen; all right. She's
my wife. We had little discussion about
some music we heard at the beach. thought
l knew more about it than she did, but 1

Upon Alabama street, at about O'Clock,

UNDER THE HAMMER,
The Pacific Short Line Railroad to Be Sold

AAe 1sCiAC SNorI Line 63llr0a1 TO BE Sold

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-By order of the
United States Circuit Court the Pacific
Short Line Railroad will be sold at auction
next Tuesday under foreclosure proceed
ings. Among the bidders, it is understood,
will be the Illinois Central, Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul and the Northwestern.
The road was originally intended to run
from Sioux City to Ogden, paralleling the
Union Pacific and shortening by several
hundred miles the present rail distance from
the Missouri River to the Pacific slope. Up
TO last fall the road had been built between
Sioux City and ONeal. $50 miles. The
enterprise looked promising enough until
last falls financial panic. Then Gould had
gobbled the Union Pacific and he was
understood to be hand in glove with Hunt
inston, who controls the Central Pacific.
The latter road, which is the only outlet
from Ogden to the Pacific Coast, was in
hostile hands, therefore, and the Pacific
Short Line people decided that it would be
folly, under the circumstances, to COM plete
the line, so the property was allowed to 90
into the hands of a receiver and 1t is now to
be sold. The Illinois Central is said 10 be
anxious to get possession of the road SO as
10 gain access to the Black Hills territory.

Eat Mora Salt.

Formerly, in Holland, the greatest punish
ment which existed for offending soldiers
was to give them unsalted bread. After a
few months OF this regime the culprits al
most invariably died. Iii Saxony, at the
end of the last century, a terrible epidemic
reigned solely through the want of salt
A Dutch savant furthermore assures us
that salt is an infallible cure for consump-
ton and cholera. The Russian peasants
once saved themselves from a plague by
putting salt in their milk.
He estimates that the quantity of salt
which every adult in ordinary health
should consume daily is twO-thrds of an
ounce. In conclusion, he asserts that if the
world would only take to salt centenarians
would become almost as common as new
born babes.-Boston Globe
