CONCESSION TO WERNER
PITTSBURGER FINALLY GETS WHAT
HE WANTS FROM THE CAR.
Forms a Partnership with a Russian
and VIII Build Railways Costing
About One Hundred Millions.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. S.-Since NJ. A.
Werner, of Pittsburg, Pa, was granted a
concession here last May for the establish
ment OF an electric railroad from st. Pet
ersburg 10 a suburb Of the city, the entire
street-railway situation in ST. Petersburg
has changed. Mr.. Werner has formed a
partnership with Engineer Batinsky, who
last year demanded a concession for an
elevated railroad ffty-nine miles long, to
cost SOS. 900, 600. Batinsky secured an inter-
view with the Car, who demanded the doc
uments of the tramway commission and
Endorsed them with recommendation of
concession to the financiers of the project,
which virtually meant Mr.. Werner.
NJ. De White, minister of finance, and Mr.
Werner Immediately began negotiating
terms upon which the value of the conces-
sion would depend. The municipality of
St. Petersburg has already received the
sanction of the government TO accept con-
struction bids for the identification for the
three street-railway lines it now owns.
learned of this unofficially: Nevertheless
the city published an advertisement this
week for bids.
The Novoe Vremya has begun a vehe-
ment campaign against this concession,
preferrlng municipal ownership of the
traction system, with operation under lease.
The paper says that a proposal from Bat
inSky and Werner for a Street-railrOad con-
cession in Moscow is also likely to be
granted. 1t is understood that Batinsky's
plan for an elevated railroad has been
dropped and that the present plans include
overhead trolleyS only.

ROBERTS AND WHEELER.
Two Fighters Speak at AngIo-Amer-
lean Pilgrim Club Banquet.

LONDON, Aug. S.-Earl Roberts, COM
mander-in-chief of the forces, and Gen. Jo-
seph Wheeler, of the United States, sat
together tonight at the first banquet Of
the new Anglo American Pilgrim Club
which was given at the Carlton Hotel
Lord Kinkaird presided at the banquet, and
the guests included Joseph II. Choate
United States ambassador; Lord Kelvin,
Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford
Henry White. secretary to the American
embassy; II. clay Evans, consul general of
the United States in London; former United
States Attorney General John w. Griggs;
Gen. j. II. Wilson, L. S. A.; Josiah Quincy
and many other Americans.
After toasts had been drunk to King Ed
ward and President Roosevelt, General
Wheeler, in a very eulOgistic speech, pro-
posed Earl Roberts honorary president
of the club.
Earl Roberts replying to the American
general said he hoped some day his respOn-
Siblites, which appeared TO increase with
the advance of years, would permit him to
visit the United States. which country of all
others he most desired to see. We well
come YOU" said Earl Roberts, las brothers
of the same stock, who share all the proud
traditions of the Anglo-Saxon race"
Rear Admiral Lord Beresford, Mr.. Griggs
and others also spoke. Sir Edward Clarke
referred to his son, who proposes to visit
the United States, and said humorously he
supposed he would have to declare whether
he was a polygamist or had ever been in
Jail before he could enter the country.

things she said rocks had been thrown
through the windows at night, one of them
nearly striking her sleeping child, the house
was damaged and while she was outdoors
one night shot was fired at her. She also
hooted and jeered at her and the child and
hung Grape on the door. Her husband, she
said, was compelled to stay in the mines
in order to earn money to keep them from
starving, and as he could not leave his work
she asked the commanding officer of the
troops here to protect her.
Turkey Run hill has no police protection
and General Goblin decided to help the wom-
an. He learned that she was not in the
best of health and it was decided that she
had better be taken from the place to the
Pottsvile hospital To carry this out the
general ordered platoon of cavalry to
make q demonstration in that section and
while there to escort the woman and child
TO the railroad station. This was done. The
troops rode all over the territory and found
that the population, which is made UP of
many foreigners, was not in the best frame
of mind. The soldiers were hooted and
jeered and called uncomplimentary names.
Only one stone was thrown at the horse
men, and this was done by some one in
crowd a high ridge out of reach of the
soldiers. The cavalrymen stopped their
horses and the crowd scattered instantly.
The two Lithuanians, who were yesterday
held responsible for the death of Joseph
Beddall in the riots of last week were to-
day committed without bail to the county
jail al Pottsville on a charge of murder.
Another Lithuanian, charged with rioting.
was released on s., 900 bail. 1t is under
stood that a large number of other arrests
will be made and more charges of murder
will be brought. The police officials are
having much difficulty in ferreting out the
participants in the riots. The foreigners
are standing together and are not volun-
teering any Information. 1t feared that
an attempt would be made to rescue the
two Lithuanians held for murder and the
other charged with rioting, from the little
lookup to-day. In consequence company
of soldiers on guard duty close at hand
kept in readiness TO march. Extra guards
are duty at the borough building in
which the men are confined.
There was little Of interest in the camp
of the troops to-day. The region remains
very quiet and there was nothing for the
soldiers TO do but go through the routine Of
the camp. Brig. Gen. John w Schall. Of
the First Brigade, accompanied by Gen.
Weaver of his staff, came here from Phil
adelphia to-day and paid a visit to brigade
headquarters. He left for PHILADELPHIA to-
night. General Goblin said General SchaIl
was here merely on a social visit and that
the question of calling out additional troops
was discussed.

the friars is not believed to have changed

MORE SCHOOLS CLOSED.


BREST, France, Aug. s.-several more
religious schools in Finisterre were closed
this morning. despite protests by the in
habitants who were held back by gend-
armes. The chief center of interest now is
the little localities of Saint Meen, LIE Fol-
goet and Ploudaniel, north of Brest, where
all the traditional fanaticism Of the Bre-
tons is displayed. Eviction of the sisters
were expected there this morning and
bodies of men and women guarded the
schools throughout the night. The whole
countryside, armed with cudges, was
afoot from o'clock i'm the morning and
barricades of carts attached by heavy
chains were erected in the roads leading to
the schools at Ploudaniel. A barricade of
carts. covered with thorns and brambles,
defends the entrance to the school at
Saint Meen.
Senator Chaimallard and County Council
lor Vervigny broke the official seals affixed
to three religious schools in Quimper. The
government declares that 1t intends to
prosecute all such offenses.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Major b. X.

commissary has the following to say con-
corning the feeding of natives in the Phil
ippines: Il was in hope that the closing
up of the campaign i'm Batangas and La
guna would end the feeding of the natives,
but such is not the case, although the
camps have been broken up. The natives
were left in a destitute condition; had been
unable to plant new crops; all the old crops
had been destroyed in the military oper-
atoms and so the work has to go on. Gen
eral Bell was in the city, and L asked him
