? AY PENALTY
RUSSIA FURNISHES HUNDREDS
FOR SLAUGHTER OF THE
JEWS.

Washington, D. c.. July 11.-Infor-
nation OF an entirely reliable charac-
ter concerning the kishenev massacre
reached here today. 1t appears that
the protests which arose in the United
States and many other civilized coun-
tries against the murderous attacks
upon the Jews in kishenev last spring
has not been without practical effect.
This information states that the Rus
sian government has been moved to
vigorous action in the matter OF in
vestigating and Furnishing those who
are responsible for the kishenev mas
sacre.
Many Arrests.
Eight hundred arrests have been
made and $50 persons remanded for
trial in the lower courts. Four hun
dred and fifty cases have been sent to
the court of appeals of which fifty
three are on indictments for man
slaughter The trials of those accus.
ed of numbering and maltreating the
Jews at kishenev will occur in Sep
TENDER at Tiraspoi. The services of
| four distinguished lawyers have been
secured to assist in the prosecution OF
the cases.

didacy on such platform would have
aroused widespread protest, but in
stead of that they placed the party
standard in the hands of j. B. Sullivan,
one of the ablest and stanchest of sill

gressional district made gallant fight
for reafiirmation. Judge Caldwell and
other nominees were also faithful to
the party in 1896.
Advises Voters to Fight Again.
''The democrats of Iowa have there
fore to choose between gold ticket
on cowardly platform partly good
and a republican ticket running on as
bad a platform as could be well con.
ceived. What should they do? Vote
for Sullivan and his associates on the
ticket, but continue to fight for Kan.
sas City platform principles. The real
contest will come next year when ma
tional delegates are selected.
] Let loyal democrats by considering
the unfairness shown by the reorga
/ mixers this year learn what to expect
in case the party goes back into the
i control of the Cleveland crowd and let
the defeat suffered by the friends OF
| the Kansas City platform in the late
convention arouse them to a battle
royal for the preservation of the integ

IF those who are earnestly against
| plutorcacy will attend the primaries
and conventions and then instruct al
delegates they will be spared the
humiliation which they have just suf
fered in Iowa. The fight for the reaf
