Rioting i'm Finland.

LONDON. April PA dispatch to the
Times from Helsingfors, Finland, says that
in a levy of recruits from the Helsingfors
district out of S57 summoned only ffty-six
complied. The remainder absented them
selves as a demonstration against the new
army edict.
The same day, April IS. a disturbance
broke out. 1t began in a trivial manner. A
youngster was jeering the police and the
senator's. One of the latter, General Kaige-
rolf, thereupon ordered out the Cossacks
and a scene ensued quite ~equaling the St.
Petersburg riots. The Cossacks charged
the public in the Senate square and the ad-
joining streets. They used their knouts in
discriminatory, and the chief sufferers were
cripples, aged persons and children. Some
men resisted the Cossacks and many per-
sons on both sides were wounded. The
crowd refused to dispense until the military
ordered them away. The burgomaster of
H~elsingfors finally persuaded General
Kaigeroff to withdraw the Cossacks and
peace was restored.

Firm Undertone i'm Berlin.

BERLIN, April 20-The active security
on the bourse during the past week was
Canadian Pacific. which developed an ex-
traordinary movement and was bought
heavily on London and New York account.
The FrankfuTther Zeitung says there has
been much short selling of Canadian Pa
cihc stock here. This security scored a rise
of eight points during the week. Otherwise
the bourse was quiet and lifeless and there
were few transactions. The undertone was
rather firm, however, and this improved
somewhat towards the end OF the week un-
der the influence of the British loan and
the securing of control of Louisville &
Nashville by ]. PierpOnt Morgan. which the
Vossische Zeitung regards az of eminent
significance for the American internationa
situation, since IL shows anew how Amer.
leans are buying back foreign holdings i'm
American railways. Far more significant,
however. is the fact that the leading CAPT
talists are now frightened by the action OF
the government against the Northern Sc
curitieS Company.'

BRUSSELS, April 20.-At a general coun-
Gil of the Labo party held here to-day 1t
was resolved that work by the strikers in
all sections should be resumed. The coun-
Gil issued a manifesto to the workingmen
to this effect this evening.
The anticipated announcement by the
crown of the dissolution of Parliament has
not yet been made.
The papers here contain vivid descrip-
tions of the riots which occurred at Lou
vain, near here, last Friday. The mob
which was returning from the station after
meeting the Socialist deputies from Brus-
sells divided into two bands. one making for
the residence of the president of the cham
Der. NJ. Schollaert, and the other for that
of the minister of the interior, NJ. ID. Trooz.
The first mentioned mob was led by a man
of gigantic stature, fourishing a butcher
knife. After breaking through the ranks Of
one squad of the civic guard the mob found
its way blocked in a narrow lane by am
other squadron of the same organization.
An officer of the guard ran forward and
called upon the mob to halt, shouting that
otherwise he would order his men TO fire a
volley upon them. The rioters disregarded
this order. The officer was about TO give
the to fire when the gigantic
leader of the rioters leaped forward and
seized the officers throat with his big
hands. He pinned him against a wall and
leveled a pistol at his head. Another officer
yelled the order to fire and plunged a bay
Onet into the giants breast. The foremost
of the rioters grasped the bayonets of the
guards leVeled rifles in their bare hands.
The volley rang out in the narrow lane and
the mob was riddled with bullets. Several
were killed. The rest of the rioters broke
and fled.
In the meantime the other band of riot
ers had a similar but less tragic experience.
In a collision between the rioters and the
guards a m of the latter broke from
the ranks and jointed the mob, shouting 10
them to have no fear, as the guards were
only supplied with blank cartridges. Yell
ing, the mob rushed on. 1t was met by a
volley from the guards. Two of the rioters
were killed and many were wounded.
To-day the dead are lying in the Maison
des PrOletaries, which has been converted
into a mortuary chapel by drapings, can
dies and CrucifiXes. Crowds of workmen
filed through the building during the day.

THE WAR IN SAMAR.
Gen. Smith Outlines the Difficulties of
Serving in the STAND.

MANILA. April 2o.-The United States
army transport Buford left here to-day for
San Francisco, after having been detained
in quarantine for five days. Gen. Jacob II.
Smith, who was in command of the Amer
lean forces in the Island of Samar at the
time Maj. L. ". T.. Waller, Of the marine
corps, is said TO have executed natives Of
that island without trial, was to have gone
home on the Buford, but was disembarked
here. Orders have been received here from
Washington to hold a court Of inquiry into
the general conduct of affairs in Samar.
General Smith claims that, to the best of
his belief. the officers and men of his COM
mand in Samar had to face -insurmountable
difficulties; that the hardships they encoun-
tered were almost unbearable and that the
treachery of the natives of the island is un-
euualed i'm the history of warfare. He SAYS
that the American soldiers acted in the cir
cumstances with the greatest forbearance
shown in the war in the Philippines. Cam
paigning in Samar Is not a pleasure trip,
but a stern reality. said General Smith. He
also expressed his doubt if the troops Of
any nation in the world would or could
nave acted in the circumstance in Samar
as we'll as did the Americans.

Mark Twain's Waterloo.
Literary Bulletin

Mark Twain once said to a friend that,
as TO wit. he had met his Waterloo; that
there was one woman whom he could
never get ahead of in repartee-his mother.
She was a very clever woman-another
of the long list of able mothers OF great
sons. IL was from her. also, that Mark
Twain inherited the inimitable drawl which
has always characterized his speech, and
is not an affectation, as many people have
supposed. The drawl so enhances the
humor of Twain's remarks that it cannot
but be regarded as a lucky gift of nature.
Mr.. Clemens was once described in an inter
view as "a symphony in gray"-gray hair.
gray eyes and a suit of gray clothes. This
term can no longer be applied, as Mr.. Glenn
ens's hair is now a great leonine name of
white.

CHANGE IN HOUSE CONTROL.
Mr.. Crumpacker Has "a Plan to EIimi-
nate the Speakers Power.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. April 2.-Much serious
consideration is being given by members
of the House to the proposal which Rep
resentative C~rumpacker may make for the
control of the House organization. His
change, of which he has said but little. is
discussed because it is known that he has
devoted much time to preparing il. 1t con-
templates a House rule something after
the fashion of that of the Senate. This
is usually done on caucus recommendation
in the lower body. This committee. which
really has charge of the proceedings. is
appointed by the speaker. and he makes
himself a member of it. This gives him the
control.
Mr.. C~rumpacker thinks that the House
could govern itself very well if the speaker
were left out and permitted to occupy prac-
tically the same position as that OF the
president of the Senate.

Hope of Peace in Africa RepresSes
Speculative Activity in London.

Speculative Activity i'm London.
LONDON, April 2O.-The barometer of the
Stock Exchange fuctuated throughout the
past week in response 10 every fresh rumor
of peace negotiations, but actual business
was comparatively limited, the interest in
the new loan overshadowing all other deal
ings. The immense oversubscription TO the
new issue of consols fairly indicates the
strong conviction among the public of the
actual proximity of peace. but the situation
is too complicated TO encourage extensive
speculation. The most optimistic of the
operators during the first part of the week
proved also to be the most timOrous. The
whole list fell p%erceptibly on Mr.. Balfour's
announcement that a definite settlement in
South Africa had been proposed in order
to allow the Boer delegates time to inter-
view the commanders.
American securities attracted considera-
BILE attention during the week. There was
not much trading, however, and this was
partly owing to the fear Of a corner i'm
Louisville & Nashville. The announcement
of Mr.. Morgan's participation in this deal
removed some of the apprehensions of the
arbitrage houses.
