ferent points they were soon at work
taking care Of the wounded. Those
most seriously hurt were taken to the
St. Paul hospitals and in few hours
all the passengers were cared for and
taken to their different destinations.
A special train was put into service to
bring them into the twin cities.
In the wreck was found the mangled
body of an unknown man, who it was
impossible to identify. he was sup
posed to be hobo who had been
stealing a ride on the blind baggage
or had been riding on the brake
beams. In his pockets was found s65.
1t was stated by one of the passengers
that he had got on at Benson, but be-
yopd this nothing could be learned re-
garding the dead man. BE was
thought to be about IS years old and
is described as having light COM
plexion. he has very light hair and
whiskers. Both legs were reported as
being severed below the knee and the
head severed from the trunk.
All kinds of conflicting reports re-
garding the list of dead and injured
were afloat and the first report which
reached this city shortly after the &C.
cident was to the effect that two had
been killed and from eight to twelve
seriously injured. When mores de-
finite news arrived it was learned that
only one life was lost and that only
three received injuries that might re-
suit fatally. The most severely in
jured were as follows:
Arthur E. Hennessy, of St. Louis,
who suffered dislocation of the hip
and internal injuries.
N. N. Horn, q merchant of South
English, Iowa, broken collar bone,
hip bruise and q scalp wound.
August Widen, of West Superior,
internally injured.
Many other passengers received cuts
and bruises, but not of . serious
character. There we're some over 200

as We can find out the list of those
more or less injured WAS about forty.

Education. Up till noon yesterday
the attendance had reached thirty-six,
which considering the weather and the
fact that 80 many of our teachers at.

Wanted for ForRorv.

A warrant asking for the arrest of
Harry Eek, formerly working for the
J. n. Wiggins Co., was sworn out in
Judge Otterness' court on Monday, S.
E. Gustafson being the complaining
witness and the state of Minnesota the
plaintiff. The preliminaries to this
action date back to August l, when
Mr.. Gustafson received q check from
Harry Eek, in payment of board.
The check bore the signature of J. n.
Virgins and was for the amount of
nine dollars. Not suspecting. any
fraud, Gustafson took the check to the
Kandiyohi County Bank where it was
paid in full on August 3. Immediate-
ly afterward Harry Eek disappeared,
taking with him as souvenir q fine
kodak belonging to his employers.
When MIR. Virgins saw the check he
denied having ever signed it and the
only suppositton left was that Eek had
signed it himself. At the time he left,
he had two weeks pay amounting to
sl8 coming, and it is said that being
unable to secure money from Wig
gins on that particular day, he wrote
out q check and signed his employers
name to it. Some people seem to
think that this was done with no in.
tentions to defraud. Having some
money coming, they maintain that he
simply did it without considering
whether it was wrong or not. This Is
hardly justifiable, however, as no
worker is supposed to be his own pay
master.
Harry Eek came here about three
months ago and had at the time he
departed for unknown parts been
working for the j. n. Virgins Co.
for about two months. BE is said to
have had the bicycle and camera
craze, buying up old wheels and
cameras on time for small am oun
of money and keeping them for future
reference.
Sheriff Lundquist is at present busy
looking for Eek and notices of his
departure have been sent to different
places by the authorities.

MASSACRE WAS ORDERED.


BERLIN May 2l-The singular state Of
mind of the townspeople of Kishineff, Bes-
sarabia while they were killing the Jews
there about a month ago, Is described in
a letter from a non-Jewish German of Odes-
sa. received by the relief committee here.
He said: 1.-The leaders of the bands. en-
tering the Jewish residences, often adj
dressed the occupants good-naturedly. say
ing: Poor brethren, we must kill you. 1t
is so ordered Monstrous things were not
done until robbers began to participate, and
when they and the Christian zealots became
intoxicated. The state of terror of the Jews
at Kishineff." the letter adds, continues
A fresh massacre is expected there, and the
Jews of Odessa and of Bessarabia are living
in hourly dread. The whole province seems
to be In a state of fanatical fury against
the Jews.
The writer of the letter then says: 1.-The
excitement is intensified through proclama-
tons distributed in the streets and the tone
Of the bitterly anti-Semitic newspapers The
Russians say to their educated and tolerant
countrymen who urge keeping the peace:

SCHEME OF EMPLOYERS
NATIONAL LABOR BUREAU PROPOSED
AT CINCINNATI.
Now Under Discussion by Members OF
the District Metal Trades
Association.

CINCINNATI, May IA conference of
great Importance to all employees and en-
ployers of labor throughout the United
States is being held in this city by the dis
trict officials of the National Metal Trades
Association. The purpose Of the meeting Is
to discuss the meeting by the various locals
of the National Metal Trades Association
of a labor bureau, similar to the one now
in operation in this city and the building
up of a national institution from these
organizations.
The workings of the bureau were ex-
planned in an elaborate paper read by a
prominent local manufacturer. He said
that the employment bureau, now in oper-
alton In this city will give any member the
names of workmen to fill vacancies. The
employer will know by the workings Of the
bureau that such men as are sent to him
are of good character and first rate work
ing men. This bureau in turn looks after
the interests of the men in the shops of its
members. Any grievances which man
may have he can refer to the bureau. If
working men desire to change places of
employment they can do so by notifying the
bureau, and such places. If available, will
be placed at their disposal. At the same
time the employer will be protected and
men ready TO take the places of those who
leave will be on hand The scheme met with
great favor among those present and they
will begin the organization of similar
bureaus in their respective cities. After
local bureaus are got into shape then
work will be commenced to organize a ma
tional labor bureau, which will have as
correspondents these various locals and act
as a clearing house for them. Members of
the National Metal Trades Association
from all parts of the country are in attend
ance. The session will be continued to-

Count TolstOi's Opinion.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 21.-The circu-
lar of Interior Minister Won Plehwe. issued
on May IL. ascribed the massacre of the
Jews at Kishineff largely to acts of self
defense on the part of the Jews. Answer
ing a private letter asking for his opinion
Of the Kishnieff massacre, Count Tolstoi
writes: my relations to the Jews and to
the terrible Kishineff affair must be clear
to everybody interested in my beliefs. My
relation to the Jews can only be as that
to brothers whom I love, not because they
are Jews, but because they and everybody
are the sons of one father-God. That love
does me no violence, because I have met
and known Jews who are very good people
My relation TO the Kishineff crime is also
defined in my religious beliefs Before
knowing all the frightful details under
stood the horror. and felt intense pity for
the innocent victims of mob savagery
mingled with perplexity at the bestiality
and disgust for the so-called educated peo-
pie who instigated the mob and sympa-
thzed with its deeds. Above all, / was
Mortified at the real culprit, namely the
government, with its foolish, fanatical
priesthood and gang of robber officials
preaching lies and violence, which the gov
eminent carries on with such stubborn
energy. The governments relation to the
affair is now proof of its rude egotism
hesitating at no atrocity when IL is ques-
ton of crushing movements regarded as
eQuanimity, which Is like that of the Turk
ish government towards the Armenian
massacres and most horrible atrocities, IL
only its interests remain untouched"

Big STRIKE AT ST. LOUIS
ABOUT 1000 FREIGHT HANDLERS
PORTERS AND PACKERS OUT.
All the Railways I'm the Mound City
and Across the Mississippi
River Affected.

ST. LOUIS, May H.-Approximately
1000 men are now out on strike in ST. Louis
and immediate vicinity. The threatened
strikes which have been brewing for sew
eral weeks past have arrived, and COM
merce in St. Louis is seriously interrupted.
The freight handlers of all the railroads
in ST. Louis and East St. Louis struck to-
day in sympathy with the porters and
packers who recently went out at Cupples
Station, where most of the wholesale firms
of St Louis are situated. Between 1S00
and 1000 men went out to-day, and as a
result there is possibility that the officials
of the roads will endeavor to secure an in
junction from the Federal Court to restrain
the men from interfering with their bust
ness if they proceed TO fill the vacancies
with nonunion men.
1t is asserted by representatives of both
branches of the freight handlers that the
tie-up in St. Louis is complete, and that
every railroad handling freight is affected.
AT present. according TO union representa-
tives. between $500 and 1900 men are d.
rectly involved, and the number will in all
proba bility be increased.
Commerce was practically at a standstill
to-day and committees from the employers
at Cupples Station and the striking pack
spent the day in arranging for meet
ing through which the difficulty might be
amcably adjusted.
Owing TO the strike OF freight handlers,
shipping business along the Mississippi
going packets are not taking on board as
large cargOeS as usual.

FURTHER DETAILS OF THE MASSA-
GRE AT kISHINEFF.
Fanatics Began the Slaughter Under
the Impression They Were Obey

PHILADELPHIA, May H.-Meyer Sulz-
berger. a member of the Pennsylvania jul
dietary, to-day in a statement replied to
the assertions of Count Cassini Russian
ambassador, that the troubles in kishi-
neff are due to an uprising of peasants
against the money lenders. Judge Sulz-
berger said:
Count Cassini is confronted with the
fact that there have been rapes and MUIR
ders of women, horrible cruelty to babies
and murder of unoffending men commit
ted. His first instinct is to excuse the
criminals and throw the blame on the vic
Tins. man with that attitude Of mind
Is not to be argued with. His real convic-
ton, OF course, Is that common people
have no rights, and that what happens to
them Is a matter Of supreme indifference,
since there are so many of them that he
can easily spare a few thousand. 1t was
the attitude Of the French mobiles before
the revolution, and that it must be shared
by great many of his fellow mobiles is
proved by the fact that while all this mas
sacre was occurring in Kishineff during
three days five Russian regiments were
quartered in the town. II is, therefore.
ments permitted the massacres and are
responsible for them. Their responsibility
Is now assumed and shared by all the peo-
pie who think with Count Cassini. AS re-
CARDS his remarks, it is enough to say:
First that the great bulk of Jews of Rus
STA are the poorest people In the world and
have no money to lend. Second, that babies
do not lend money. Third, that murderous
criminals are not usually borrowers. On
the other hand. there have been high off,
Gals living lives of luxury and debauchery,
who were in need of many thousand roubles
and to whose depleted pockets proceeds OF
loot and the price of protection might bring
a new lease on revelry.
mo doubt, in the usual relations Of life
the count is gentleman in his manners
and practices, but, after all, he is a Rus
sian nobleman. If he wants the opinion
of unprejudiced American commission
err let him read the report made to the
United States government by Colonel Weber
and DIR. Walter Kempster, printed at the
government printing office in 1892. There
are I'm IL such passages as even Russian
nobleman would blush to have submitted tc

the course of ten minutes or so July had
sold down TO 10.S0c. August 1o.62c and Sep
TENDER 9.75c. All classes of traders seemed
to be selling and the cotton apparently was
absorbed by certain bear interests who
found substantial profits in the decline of
over 81 bale from Wednesdays close.
Then speculation quieted. For a time the
market was comparatively inactive. but
after a rise prices again declined and at
