Ignorant AsIatie Natives Mob "A Town mud
KIN tho GovernOr-They Are Finally
Suppressed By Russian Troops Aftei
Many Arc Killed.
Sr. PErERsBURa, Aug 2-Letters
received here from Ashkend town Of
Asiatic Russia in Syria, report that the
news in regard 70 the serious riots
which occurred in that place on July Q
in connection with the cholera epidemic
has been suppressed by the govern
ment, the strictest censorship being ex-
ercised in the matter.
From these letters II is learned That
the native Sarts, believing that the
doctors were poisoning patients who
we're suffering from cholera, became
greatly excited aud determined to put
an end to the murderous practices which
they imagined were being employed In
the cases Of the unfortunates stricken
with the terrible disease. The widest
rumors were current Of the cruelties in
ilicted by the medical men in causing
the immediate death of the patients
and these stories had tho effect Of
arousing the fury of the people TO the
highest pitch.
Five thousand of the Sarts suddenly
invaded the Russian quarter Of the town
and attacked and wrecked the residence
of Deputy Governor Poutnstoff, who
fed on the approach of the bowling
mob His flight was discovered, how
ever, and he was pursued and assailed
by a shower of stones until life had
been beaten out OF him and his features
had been mutilated beyond recognition.
The authorities, having become aware
Of the state of affairs in the town, took
immediate steps 10 suppress the disor-
ders and protect the other endangered
officials A body Of troops was hurried
to the scene. The two forces closed in
on each other and furious hand to
hand conflict resulted, the maddened
Sarts. when their pistols had been emp
tied, slashing furiously about with their
daggers and doing much execution with
them.
The drilled and better armed soldiers
were unable to overcome their fanatical
opponents, and additional troops had to
be sent TO their assistance. They were
reinforced by body of Cossncks aud
with the valuable aid OF these soldiers
they finally succeeded in quelling tho
riots and dispensing the Sarts in all di-
rections
The Sarts were not disheartened by
this repulse, and soon took steps to re-
sumo their attack. They collected
around the mosques, and taking possess
sion Of these edihces at once set about
the work of converting them into tenn
porary forts, and defied the authorities
TO do battle with them A large num-
Der of soldiers were dispatched to tho
scene of the new manifestations on the
part Of the rioters, and finally dislodged
them from their stronghold.
The character of the struggle may be
imagined when II Is known that sixty Of
the Sarts were killed and that hundreds
Of them were wounded, many Of them
most grievously. The soldiers, too suf-
fcred heavily, the Russion losss being
fifteen killed and many wounded

EXTENSIVE CONSPIRACY.


I
CHICAGO, Aug 3. Tho flight OF Georg'
Bartels, paying teller of the Contra
Trust & Savings bank, with the com
paratively insignificant sum of 80. 900 o
the banks cash, has unearthed wha
seems TO have been an extensive con
spiracy TO defraud five Chicago banks
The scheme was partly successful ant
over $4,000 was secured from Bartels
former employers, but has since beer
made good. Another bank is said e
have lost $50, 900, which amount was al
SO made good.
Three men formerly connected with
the Chicago Bank Note Co. have been
arrested charged with conspiracy TO de
fraud and the issuance of fraudulent
paper These are William Forbes, N.
W. Burnside and Charles NJ Anson.
Bartels was the fourth man.
Charles Nichols, u go-between, has
made atlidavits which purports 10 ex-
pose the whole scheme. A bill in chan
Gerry asking for the appointment Of a
receiver of the bank note concern, filed
by John B. Gribles, former president Of
the company, also throws light upon
the methods used.
Forbes was manager of the Chicago
Bank Note Co; burnside, the son OF a
well known physician, was associated
with Forbes. Anson was but an EN-
ploye Of the firm. These young men
were vouched for by Gen. Allen C..
Fuller and numerous men of wealth
and financial influence, who appear TO
have trusted them fully, owing 10 their
connection with young Burnside. They
opened accounts with the Central Trust
q Savings bank, the Globe National
bank, the State Bank OF Chicago, the
First National bank and the Milwau-
kee Avenue State bank. Immediately
they deposited checks. drafts,
etc, which it is claimed have
since boen found to be fraudulent,
and later drew out tho cash. BY col
lusion with Bartels, the greater part of
the paper was dumped on the Central
Trust & Savings bank. The teller, in
the absence of the cashier, certified all
paper and forged drafts, checks, etc,
were only deposited when the higher
officials of the bank were out II is
said that the plotters intended TO pull
all the banks they had deposited money
with into their net and then break up
and clear out, but the paper came 70
protest too soon.
According to Nichols affidavit, the
conspirators Systematically wined,
dined and clothed Bartels, besides pay
