SERIOUS RIOT in PERSIA

Many Butchered in the Streets and
the Head of One Blown from the
Mouth of a Cannon.

LONDON, July 30.-The Times this MORN
ing describes a serious riot in the city and
province Of Yezd, in central Persia, which
lasted more than a fortnight and culmi-
mated at the end of June. The outbreak
was directed against religious reformers
called Babis. In the city for two days ev-
cry Babi found was butchered by the rab-
BILE and the mutilated bodies were dragged
through the streets, followed by exultant
crowds. Houses were looted, women being
killed and finally the priestly leaders of the
riot enjoined the populace to bring all the
remaining Babis before them or the gov
ernor for judgment.
The Governor refused at first to yield to
the threats of the mob. but his palace was
surrounded by menacing men and he con-
sented. One Babi taken before him las
blown from the mouth of a cannon and
another was killed and dragged through the
town. Order. it is reported has been re-
stored, but the Babis who escaped are i'm
hiding. Yezd has a population of 10000. 1t
is a walled city surrounded by deep trench
and is famous for it's bazars. Among the
population are many parsees (fire wor-
shipers), this being nearly the only place in

to It's Second Reading.

LONDON, July 29.-The House OF Com
mons to-day passed the sugar convention
bill to it's second reading by vote of 224
to 144. In the course of the debate upon the
bill Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, in de-
Tending it, said: For twenty years We
have tried to secure the voluntary aban-
donment of bounties. 1t was only when we
changed our policy and suggested retalia-
ton that we secured the object for which
we had struggled SO long and so escaped
a condition of things under which Germany
and Austria would be able to regulate the
price of sugar in Great Britain
Mr.. Chamberlain said he believed the bill
would not increase the price Of sugar. but
by giving greater stability and certainty TO
the trade would benefit the West Indies
Referring to the possibility of losing the
American trade he said: IF we had only
treated the West Indies fairly there is no
reason why they should not be supplying
us with the greater part of our demand" :"
He believed prohibition the simplest plan
but should it become necessary he would
take the opinion of Parliament on the ques-
ton of countervailing duties. Mr.. Cham
berlain did not touch directly upon the fis-
cal but incidentally remarked I'VE are on
the eve of great economic fight and it be-
hooves every one to keep cool as long as

LOGUE FAvORs GOTTI.
Irish Cardinal Thinks the Carme1ite
Il. Not yarrov-Ninded

ROME, July 29.-Cardinal Logue, arch
bishop of Armagh, had an interview to-day
with Cardinal Gibbons. When asked to-day
what he thought of the objections frequent
ly mentioned against Cardinal Gotti being
elected Pope on the ground that his being
a member of a religious order would pre-
vent him from dealing in a broad spirit
with Catholic problems in America and
Great Britain, Cardinal Logue said:
ut is absurd Cardinal Gotti formerly
was an internuncio and has mixed with
the representatives of the various nations.
He knows the prevailing conditions as well
as any one. Just because he is a member
of the Carmelites no one thinks he is mar
rowminded. Moreover, il is unreasonable
to attribute too much weight TO the per-
sonality of the new Pope. Internal matters
and internal policy are now almost invaria-
bly, settled by commissions of cardinals
who, certainly under the late Pope Leo,
have directed their departments just
much as the heads of departments of
civil government direct their departments.
But, whoever may be Pope, it is not like
ly that he will attempt TO make any
changes in policy without being careful TO
take the advice of those who have hereto
fore directed the policy of the Vatican.

ton the forms to be used in voting at the

BATTERY A ON ANXIOUS SEAT
RUMOR THAT THE MEN WILL BE
TAKEN FAR FROM CAMP.
Soldiers Do Their Best to Idle Away

Camp Life.

The camp at the fair grounds was fur
nished sensation last evening in the arrest
of Capt Harry Gallon. of Battery A. In
dianapolis, on a charge of intoxication. and
his confinement under guard in his tent. At
a late hour Captain Gallon. through Capt.
Ray Van Camp. sent his resignation to Ma
jor Stevens, who transmitted it to Brigadier
General Mckee.
No action was taken or the resignaticn
last night. but it will probably be accepted
this morning, and il is understood that an
election will be held by Battery A at an
early hour to-day to I'LL the vacancy. 1t is
understood that senior First Lieut.. Walter
w. Heiskell will be made captain. while
his brother. Frank Heiskell present junior
first lieutenant. will be made senior first
Railsback will be made junior first iieuten-
ant, but it is not known who will be chosen
to succeed him as second lieutenant. A
movement was started last evening to make

evening as soon as Captain Gallons arrest
was announced. Captain Gallon was arrest
ed at the order of Major Stevens. and after
he was taken to his tent he was stripped OF
his sidearms.
SHOCK TO HIS FRIENDS.
The arrest OF Captain Gallon was a shock
to the members of the battery and to his
many friends In camp. After mess the af-
fair was the general topic of discussion, and
the men expressed sympathy for the officer
under arrest. The men of the battery and
their friends realized that the officer would
have to face a general court-martial and
that verdict Of guilty would mean his dis
missal in disgrace. To avert this the offi-
GERS friends began working last evening In
order that pressure for leniency might be
brought TO bear the officers who would
constitute the court. Captain Gallon fore
stalled the court-martial. however, by ten
dering his resignation.
Captain Gallon was one of the oldest mem-
bers of the battery in point of service. hav-
ing been identified with the organization for
nearly eighteen years. He was a lieutenant
at the time Captain Curtis resigned. and
was elected to succeed that popular officer.
Since his commission as captain he has
made himself well liked by all the members
of the battery. Gallon has participated fn
all the prize drills throughout the country
where Battery has appeared. He was also
a member Of the old organization known as
the Indianapolis Grays, and has personal
medal which he won in a contest at Phila-
delphia years ago.
