His Death in Russian Prison Recalls q
Diplomatic Controversy.
WASHINGTON, October ia dispatch
received at the State Department yester-
day from Consult 6 eneral Jones an
nounced the death of Stanislaus Krzmin-
iski, naturalized American citizen, in
a Russian prison at Warsaw October IA.
This death terminates diplomatic incl
dent which marked new phase in the
diplomatic relations of the United States
and Russia, in which Secretary Gresham
is understood to have impressed upon
the government Of the Gar the adyan-
tages of our statute of limitations, which
is unknown in Russian law. Krzmin-
iski had lived in America since 1869, and
had become naturalized. He returned
to. Russia and was arrested for political
crime, that of participating in Polish
revolution thirty years ago. Upon the
prompt demand of this government he
was released on this charge, but inn
mediatelv rearrested for alleged embez-
element committed while he was a po-
lice official just before he came to Amer
ica, and he was awaiting trial on this
charge when he died. The United States
was powerless to intervene for his re-
lease on this charge, and was confined to
an effort to secure prompt trial.

WOMAN IN POLITICS.
A Large Registration Recorded In the
City Of Chicago.

A Large Registration Recorded In the
City Of Chicago.
CHICAGO, October 49," Pshaw; it's
simple enough. We were treated as
Queens. The men were awfully nice
everywhere" This was the verdict Of
nearly all Of the courageous thousands
Of women who registered at the various
booths in Chicago yesterday. For the
first time they will vote in November
for the trustees OF the university under
the new State law. Each party has q
woman candidate-Mrs. Lucy Flower,
the Republican, and DIR. Juliet Holmes
Smith, the Democratic. The women
turned out in great numbers. They went
to the engine-houses, cigar stores, hotels,
billiard parlors, shoe stores, clothing
stores, livery offices and barns, but the
universal report was that the men were
nice" They ceased smoking when the
women entered the places. They also
removed their hats, something they
probably had not done before on regis
tration day within their memory. In
nearly all cases the women were ushered
politely 70 the head of the line, and at
one booth they received a rose in COM
pliment OF their maiden vote.
In certain wards, which embrace many
OF the wealthy and fashionable districts
OF the North and South Sides, the regis
tration lists showed the names OF the
most prominent women in Chicago. The
same is true of the other wards Of the
city, where the women are well-to-do,
educated and thoughtful. In Evanston
there was much interest and compare
lively large registration, and SO far as
the women voting in Cook county is con-
cerned they represent the best class. The
returns show that the disreputable wom-
en- took no interest in the registering.
In the worst precincts of the First Ward
only one or two names of women were
registered, and that was not from choice
so much as from persuasion by male
companions. This relieves the situation
OF sincere dread. 1t was argued last
week that the disreputable people would
flock together and overcome the votes Of
the members of good society.
Another noteworthy thing is the en-
thusiasm of the colored sisters. In the
West Side OF the Second Ward, where
the colored vote is most numerous, the
women registered freely. There are sev-
eral ways OF accounting for this, but the
best one perhaps is that the colored
male voter seldom fails to turn up on
registration days. The records show
that in comparison the colored people
vote more nearly to the limit Of their
population than any other class. The
enthusiasm OF the male voter has been
apparently communicated to the women
folk.
The social prominence of many OF the
women who registered may not be rec.
ognized, since they were obliged to dis.
card the Christian names OF their hus.
bands. This was something they had moi
counted upon and almost invariably
they had to be requested to give Their
own Christian names. Several women
of nearly so were in line to-day. Sale
one Of them;
"All things come to those that wait.

bruised. Another was bayoneted through
the finger, while bayonet was thrust
through the clothing of another. Depu-
ties guarded their prisoner in the court
room. Dolby cried like a baby, and kept
looking around for help. Soldiers were
marched in to keep the crowd quiet.
After the sentence the prisoner was taken
TO the grand jury room. Amob gathered
about the courthouse, and the officers
were powerless to take him from the
courthouse, either to the Jail or to the
train, and Sheriff Cook wired the Gov
ernor to send more troops. Atmidnight
the courthouse yard was cleared, but the
angry mob remained in the square still
uttering threats.

TRIUMPHANT JAPS
They Capture Port Arthur, the
Chinese Stronghold.
AN IMPORTANT NAVAL POINT
The Two Opposing Forces still Continue
to Face Each Other ON the Banks of
the Yalu River-Emperor's Father-in-
Law Takes the Chief Command.

SHANGHAI, October ia report is in
circulation here that Port Arthur has
been captured by the Japanese. This
port is one Of the most important Of the
Chinese strongholds, and was the place
of refuge of the Chinese feet after the
battle of the Yalu river, the disabled
ships having been repaired and reftted
there. 1t commands the entrance to the
Gulf Of Pc Chi Ii on the north.
THE EMPERoR's FATHER-IN-LAw.
New York, October ia special
from Shanghai says: Fifteen thousand
troops under Field Marshal Oyama are
encamped across Regents Sword Prom
ontory to the north Of Port Arthur and
within sight OF that naval stronghold.
They are waiting for favorable moment
to move forward, while outside of the
port the Japanese cruisers are ready to
intercept all retreat southwark. Sung
Kwei, the Emperor's father-in-law, has
reached Shan Hal Kwan, the place on
the Gulf Of Liam Tung where the high
road from the coast to Peking begins.
He takes the chief command, and will
try to prevent the landing of force of
the enemy at that port, which possesses
great strategic prominence.
STILL FACING EACH OTHER.
LONDON, October ia dispatch to
the Central News from Wiju, dated Mon
day, says: The two opposing armies
still face each other ON the banks of the
Yalu river. The Chinese have not fired
q shot, but are night and day strength
ening their defenses. Count Yamagata,
the Japanese commander-in-ch chief, is
awaiting the arrival OF heavier artillery
before attacking the Chinese position.
Japanese scouts estimate that the Chi
nese force altogether numbers $4,000
men. The ecouts have brought detailed
information as to the condition of the
Chinese defenses, showing that they are
not so strong as first reports indicated.
The Chinese artillery is shown to be less
formidable than the Japanese had sup
posed. A decisive attack is expected
soon. Various indications justify the
belief that the chief stand OF the Chi
nese viii be at Kubenchao.
| DID NOT CARE TO FIGHT.
LONDON, October 1S.-The Japanese
legation has received advices to the eff
feet that the Japanese transport steamer
Ariaki Maru has arrived at Yokohama
from Hong Kong. A Chinese gunboat
left Hong Kong few hours before the
Ariaki Maru, but contrary to expecta-
tions made no attempt to engage the
| transport.

sAToLLI AND THE A. P. A.
He Believes That the Movement viii be
Short-Lived.


MONTREAL, October 18.-Monsignore
Satolli, who arrived here yesterday, said
in an interview: 81 have no official mis-
sion here. My jurisdiction is confined
to the United States, and ! have quite
enough to do as it is. Even now / have
business waiting on me in Washington.
Quebec is well known throughout the
Catholic world for the devotion of the
people to the Holy See and to the Church.
But you have other provinces, where the
Protestant element predominates. You
have the province OF Ontario, which has
taken up the idea OF the American Pro-
tective Association to large extent. /
do not think that the association which
so ostracizes the Catholics from every
position OF profit and honor constitutes
q permanent or serious danger. Like
the Know-Nothing movement it is
founded on ignorance and prejudice,
which will be dispelled, and they will
pass away. They will have beneficial
effect in this way-that they will make
Catholics more jealous for the defense
and propagation of their faith; but such
movements also indicate the necessity
on our part of being prudent and moder-
ate and the danger to all which appeals
to sectarianism may cause in a mixed
country like America"

Island Court.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., October 18.-Judge
Tillinghast of the Supreme Court to-day
handed down a rescript of national inn
portance to trades people. The National
Association of Master Plumbers has a
branch in this State, which recently is
sued circulars to the wholesale dealers
in plumbers supplies warning them not
to sell supplies to plumbers who were
not members of the association. These
circulars were particularly aimed at Ma
cauley Bros. OF this city. This firm un-
dertook to purchase supplies in the open
market, but was in some instances re-
fused, thus being put to considerable
inconvenience. The firm applied to the
Supreme Court for an injunction to re-
strain the association from interfering
with its business. HI. j. Turney, the
Secretary of the Master Plumbers As
sociation of Providence, was made the
respondent. The court says that un-
doubtedly the members of the associa-
tion have the right to purchase their
supplies where they please and to COM
bine and agree that they will not patron
ize wholesalers who sell to non-members
of their own association, yet they have
no right by threats to coerce wholesalers
not to sell to non-members of that as
sociation. The defendant association
twas using unlawful means to compel the
plaintiff to join the association, and the
association was wrongfully interfering
with the business of the plaintiffs. An
injunction was ordered to issue against
the association.

FoKEIGN UPRISING
Feared In the Pennsylvania Coke Regions.
sIavs Preparing For 1t.


CNIoNrowN, PA, July 12.-The con-
viction is growing that general upris-
ing OF the foreign element against the
negroes who displaced them and the coke
operators is imminent. Last night two
more houses from which strikers had
been evicted were burned. These in
cendiary fires, together with the recent
attacks, strengthen the conviction.
For two weeks past the Slavs have
been drilling every day. They preserve
dsep secrecy about their plans and will
let nothing drop that will give a cIew
TO their purpose. They have been pro-
curing arms ever since the strike be-
gan and are known TO have quantities
of dynamite concealed.
Ii is feared that having become con-
vinced that their places have become
comp letsly lost and taken by the
negroes, In desperate attempt for re-
venge they may be planning a general
attack on the coke companies proper
ties, and that there will be so many
plSces attacked that the county au-
thoritles will be powerless.
A Slav interpreter said to-day that
his people are In murderous mood to-
ward the negroes, and are anxious for
a chance TO Kill any of them who may
20 beyond the protection Of the deputies
after dark.
At Oliver the new men have been
warned to be careful, because the SlGvs
there openly threaten 20 Kill the first
negro they catch away from the works.
