ROCHESTER, N. Y, July 2.-Nineteen
officers and 261 men Of the famous "hght-
ing Ninth" regiment. Cnited States in
fsntry, Colonel G. F. Robe, commandins,
comprising Companies II, G, and e Of the
Second battalion and Companies X NJ and
OF the Third battalion, arrived in this
city this evening and are the city's guests
until midnight Rochester gave a hearty
welcome to the regiment. many OF whose
members hail from this city, including
Captain F. S. Schofeld, who has been in a
hospital at Washington for some time be-
cause OF a wound received in the Philip
pines, and who came to Rochester to meet

NO PLACES FOR RECEIVERS
only One InsOlvent Road in Six
Months and That f. Now Out
of Receivers Hands.

CHICAGO, July 2.-The Railway Age to-
morrow will say: The year 1902 has so far
been the most remarkable period in fifty
years Of railway history in respect to in
solvencies and receiverships. Since Jan
uary 1 only one operating railway. the New
York & Pennsylvania, ffty-two miles long,
has been placed in the hands OF a receiver
and that one broke all previous records for
brevity OF stay, the appointment having
been made in February and the road hav-
ing been sold under foreclosure and started
for reorganization in May. The receiver
ship thus covered the short season Of four
months The Railway Age therefore, for
the first time in its history, cannot report
a railway for which receiver has been ap-
pointed and continued in the current six
months. During the twenty-six and one
half years the record has been kept it has
shown the appointment Of receivers for $50
railroads, covering 114.400 miles Of lines
and representing stocks and bonds aggre-
eating the vast sum Of S6,291, ,397, 900. In a
single year, 1898, no less than seventy -four
roads went into bankruptcy, with 29,34O
miles and S1,7S1, ,000, 900 Of stock and bonds.
But since that year of greatest financial
calamity failures have greatly decreased
and reorganizations have gone on at equal
speed, SO that today the erasof railway re-
ceiverships may be said 81 pe ended.

Outbreak Somewhat Resembles Peasant

LEADERS ARE APPARENTLY STRANGERS
Dressed in Fantastic Uniforms and Adorned
with Decorations,
PROCLAIM THEMSELVES AGENTS OF czAU
Preach utter Destruction of All
Machinery which Reduces the
Number of Laborers and
Causes starvation.

LONDON, July "A dispatch to the
Reuter- Telegram company from st. Peters
burg says there have been labor riots for
the past few days at Rostov- on Don, in the
province OF Ekratinslov, southern Russia.
There have been numerous collisions be-
tween the troops and the rioters. The
troops fred and many Of the rioters were
killed or wounded.
The outbreak at Rostov-on- Don, con-
tinues the Reuter- correspondent, somewhat
resembled the peasant riots In the central
provinces Of Russia In the early spring.
The leaders Of the last riots were strang-
ers in the district. They were dressed in
fantastic uniforms and adorned with deco
rations. They proclaimed themselves agents
Of the car and preached the destruction OF
all machinery which reduced the number Of
laborers and brought the masses to starva-
tion.
A fanatical mob, innamed with this idea,
declared war on the factories In the name
of the czar and had already wrecked many
manufacturing establishments by the time
the troops were called out.
The st. Petersburg correspondent Of the
Daily Express asserts that in defiance of
the advice Of his ministers the czar has
decided to give private audience to over 200
representative Russians OF all ranks. in
cluding university professors, publicists,
editors, political prisoners and even con-
victs, with view Of thoroughly probing
social problems and discovering the mo-
tives for the assassinations Of ministers
and oflcials. They will be invited to tell
the c2ar frankly how the threatened rev.
olution may be averted and by what peace
full means the distress and dissatisfaction
of the lower classes may be met.

stratiOn.

day traversed the lines of the soldiers Of
the Indian empire.

king, standing by the side of his mothers
carriage, took the salute. and the proceed
ings ended like those OF yesterday with
cheers for the king, led by the duke Of
Connaught, the Indians drawing their
swords and waving them wildly as they
Joined in the cheering.

peared at an upper window and took several
snap shots of the Indian troops as they
marched past on their return to camp. The
Indians recognized the queen empress and
each detachment cheered as 1t passed.
The British feet which assembled off
spithead for the proposed coronation re-
