RlOTING IN RUSSIA.
Murder and incendiarism Reported
Princes Killed by Peasants.

London. July 29.-Details of serious
rioting in Russia industrial centres, IN
formation concerning which the ST.
Petersburg Government is trying to sup
press. are given in a mailed despatch TO
the Times which says that one of the
largest petroleum works in Baku has
heen set on fire and part of the railway
track destroyed. The press is only per-
United to announce that naptha factories
in Transcaucasia have stopped operations.
While serious strikes increase in nearly
all the Russian industrial centres. there
is a continuation of agrarian riots and
outrages among the peasantry.
The Times mentions that Prince Gagar-
inc who, was marshal Of the nobility
of Riazan, was brutally murdered by
peasants on his estate in the Michaelosk
district Princess Gagarine, his wife,
does not attempt to describe the horrible
manner in which the Prince was killed,
as the system of official suppression often
leads to exaggeration. According to
Russian reports, another nobleman in the
same district, Prince Urusoff, has also
been killed A large force of troops has
been hurried to the Michaelosk district
by train.
There is a third category of crimes
more directly allied with politics than
those above mentioned. The Times
mentions the capture of the chief organ
izer of the assassination of Gen. Bog
danovitch, late Governor of Ala, and of
an attempt on the life of Gen. Won Wahl,
Ex-Governor of wilma, and of other
criminal acts. The prisoner is a Russian
Jew holding a foreign medical degree.
He was arrested at Kieif.

AN INGENIOUS SWlNDLE.
Hundreds of Women Have Been Beaten
Out of SIS Each.

New York. July 29.-Hundreds of cred
ulous women in this city and throughout
the country have been taken in by the in
genious swindle launched on gigantic
scale and just run to cover in Detroit.
Each victim was mulcted to the extent of
from SIS to $25. the sums aggregating
many thousands of dollars. The fraud
was perpetrated under the name of q
league of women. the alleged object of
which are woman suffrage. national
temperance. etc. Owing to the similarity
of the name with that of a well known
organization the work of securing vic
tins was easy.
Advertisements were published here
early in June for local secretaries" to
whom a salary of $500 yearly was offered.
Those who ed were the recipients
of glowing letters and finally received
checks for $25 to pay the expense of
trip to Detroit The intending secretary
was warned that reduced rates of fare
could be secured by sending $15 to an
alleged passenger agent in Cleveland
within three days. The checks We're
hurricdlv cashed in almost every instance
and came back protested The seeker of
employment therefore was minus SIS in
good money which presumably fell into
the hands OF the swindlers in Cleveland.
