Gives Homely Name to What Mem
bers Styled Debate"

Washington: The House, after be-
ing in session for a little more than
an hour Tuesday. adjourned until Fri
day. The time was chiefly consumed
in a tariff debate. When Mr.. Payne
had offered the motion to adjourn,
Mr.. williams, the minority leader,
suggested that they would like about
thirty minutes on O side for debate,
whereupon Mr.. Payne asked the con-
sent Of the House. The Speaker, an
nouncing the request, said:
The gentleman from New York, at
the suggestion of the gentleman from
Mississippi, asks unanimous consent
that there be thirty minutes talk on
a side"
In terming It talk instead Of de-
bate, the Speaker evoked laughter
from both sides of the House.
Mr.. De Almond (Dem.) of Missouri,
in humorous vein, criticized the ma
jority, while Mr. williams of Missis-
sippi and Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee,
dwelt on the traiff policy Of the Re

under the impression that the gentle

sires for important chairmanships.
Touching minority committee ap-

Depot Tuesday morning by Chief Of
Police James Woods. Strube made a
complete confession of his crime to
Chief Woods and City Attorney N. NJ.
Lacy Tuesday afternoon.
For nearly an hour he refused to
say anything, but he finally broke
down and told the story from begin
ming to end without reservation.
He said he had been keeping com
pany with Miss Henninger and that It
was understood that neither was to
go with anybody else. For a while the
course Of their love ran smoothly.
Then Miss Henninger attended the
wedding OF her sister in Mason City,
la. There she met a man, John Deere.
whom she became interested in, and
1t soon became apparent to Strube
that she thought more of Deere than
she did of him.

Henninger and sister at a box so

sister out of the buggy and went on

her recent GOODNESS. She turned to him
and said:

With that he struck her twice on the
head with a monkey wrench. In the
scufne they fell out of the buggy and
he killed her on the ground. Then he

STRIKES NDlNCENDIARJSM.


The London Daily Mails Nikolaief
correspondent, under date Of August 2
fully confirms the Times correspondents
accounts Of strikes in South Russia.
The correspondent says that $50, 900
men are affected, and that simultaneous
" strikes occurred over a vast industrial
area. He says that the amount Of
studied organization and well-cOncealed
preparations was unprecedented in the
annals Of Russian labor. Prices Of the
necessalies Of life are rising by leaps and
bounds. The strikers, on the whole,
have preserved exemplary order, but
this, however, has not saved them from
savage attacks. directed by General
Arsenief, governor of Odessa. Groups
of men assembled last Saturday with the
intention of holding a meeting, were
driven into a solid mass by 500 Cossacks,
backed by two lines of infantry with
fixed bayonets. About 1000 strikers
being thus inclosed by double Gordon,
the Cossacks rode through them, striking
right and left with heavy whips, the
fallen men being trampled under the
horses feet. "When the living mass
had been thoroughly kneaded to the
governors WILL" continues the cores
pondent numerous men were arrested
as suspected agitators. The infantry
then marched off, and the strikers scat
tered in dozen directions with cossacks
at their heels. 1t is reported that 400
strikers were more or less seriously injured
and that from six to a dozen succumbed.
The extraordinary feature of the move
ment at Odessa is that the police and
gendarmes belonging 10 one depot
threatened to throw off their uniforms
and risk all the terrors Of insubordlna-
ton unless the miserable pittance OF ii
to IA pence which they are allowed
daily was increased and the hours OF
labor reduced. Siberia is losing Its
terrors even for Russian policemen. The
epidemic of incendiarism is spreading
through Russia. Scarcely a day passes
without news of confagrations. AT
Baku alone the destruction has been
colossal. Tens of millions of gallons OF
naptha have been burned. In "a of the
largest towns the damage by fire during
the past month is estimated at $50, 600,
600 to S35, 900, 600. The object of the
bulk of the fires is to get insurance
money. The insurance companies in
some cases have raised premiums 80 per
cent. Public opinion in Odessa is en-
tirely on the side of the striking sailors
and strokers. A wealthy company
which has been employing men for years
has only paid sailors at the rate of six
dollars a month.
The strike in the railway and private
workshops at Kieff continues. An at
tempt by the strikers to interfere with
railroad traffic led to a serious riot. The
strikers refusing to Gisperse, they were
fired upon by Cossacks, who subse-
quently charged, killing and wounding
many.

MACEDONIAN TROUBLES.

Intelligence from Salonica is to the
effect that the Bulgarian insurgents have
dynamited the Konak governor $
palace in the town of Krusheyox, %
miles north of Monastir. Fifty Turks
were killed. A detachment of Ottoman
troops has burned the village of Dihovo,
near Monastir. Eight Turkish battal-
ions have been dispatched to Monastir
and three battalions to Salonica from
KOssovo. Telegraphic communication
with Monastir is still interrupted.
Consular adviees which were received
at ConstantinOple Wednesday from
Monastir indicated that the situation in
Macedonia was constantly growing
worse. At meeting of the ministers it
has been decided, therefore, to adopt
measures of extreme severity in order to
suppress the revolution. 1t is reported
that Albanian troops will be employed,
i'm which event msssacres are almost
inevitable. The Bulgarian exarch was
summoned to the Yidiz palace Wednes-
dav, and urged to make final appeal
TO his flock to deliver up their arms and
thereby avoid bloodshed, The menacing
attitude of the Kurds in Armenia is
causing increasing alarm at Erzeroum,
Bitlis and Kharput. 1t is asserted in
some quarters that the authorities are
secretly arming the Kurds, while en-
deayoring to convict the Armenians Of
revolutionary intentions.
The Sofa newspapers announce that
Prince Ferdinand is returning. Re-
ports show that crops have been des-
troyed aud bridges blown up in the dis
tricts Of Monastir and Salonica, where
the Macedonian committee proclaimed
revolution. In authoritative Bulgarian
circles doubt is expressed as to the i'm
portance of the rising.
1t is said that the Macedonian central
revolutionary committee has fixed August
81 as the date for a general rising, and
chat Boris Sarafoff, one of the leading
Macedonian agitators, has been az
pointed commander of the revolutionary
forces. with Alexief as his principal
lieutenant.
4 letter from Yedda dated July q re-
ports that the notorious Kurdish chief,
Moussa Bey, who was responsible for
many Of the Armenian outrages, has es-
capped from Medina with several other
Kurdish chiefs, where they had been
living in exile, and that all attempts to
intercept them have failed. The Sulten
was so incensed that he ordered the
immediate dismissal Of the Governor
of Medina, this being the third time
Moussa has escaped, having been re-
captured twice. 1t is feared that he will
reach Kurdstan and lead a new insur-
rection against the Turks, with perhaps
a repetition of the atrocities in Armenia.
Moussa Bey figured prominently during
the Armenian troubles in lS94-5. lie
wounded Rev. Mr.. Knapp, an American
missionary, in 1895, but despite the
evidence against him was acquitted. The
United States minister and the American
missionaries resented the verdict, and to
appease them The Sultan exiled Moussa
Bey TO Mediua.
