Resignation of Minister.

Paris, Nov. 10.-M. Berteaux, Min
lister OF War in President Loubet's Cabi-
net, has resigned.
Serious scenes were enacted in the
Chamber of Deputies today. Premier
Rouvier had asked that the discussion
of the general policy of the Cabinet be
postponed. This created protest from
numerous members. NJ. Berteaux, Min
lister of War, and NJ Etienne, Minister
of the Interior, were Kissed as they arose
in the center of the chamber.
Tney were considered by the other
members as responsible for the postpone.
ment. Both members following the
Kissing took their portfolios and retired
pursued by more Kisses. A crisis in
the ministerial affairs of France are
considered imminent and as con-
sequence of today's proceedings il Is
said that only NJ. Rouvier will remain in
the Cabinet. NJ. Berteaux announced
that he had consent TO retain his port
folio despite the scene, owing to assur'
ances from NJ Rouvier that the chambers
intentions were of fulfilling entirely the
republican programme Of the Cabinets
policy, notably concerning the separst-
ion of the State and church. After
making this statement, to friends, Ber-
teaux, in fit of anger, jumped from
his seat and announced his resignation.
The chamber voted confidence in the
government. The vote stood 80 to l47.

FRIDAY EVENING. NOV. 10. 1906.
The DEATH of Midshipman Branch

THE DEATH of Midshipman Branch
was clearly the result OF the "cOde Of
honor" which is employed at the Naval
Academy. The code, it is admitted,
conflicts with the regulations of The
academy. but the officers of the insiitu-
ton passit by, and whenever there is
fight on between two Of the cadets 1t is
seldom seen by any of the authorities.
When man is "called out' he must
promptly accept likewise it is required
that a man must stay in the ring until
he collspses or until twenty-eight rounds
have been fought, which is more than
the regular prize ring rules require. 1t
has been shown that Branch was small
Ter and a lighter man than his opponent
and that in making his report, which
brought about the fight, he was acting
exactly under the rules of the academy
not those of the cadets. The whole af-
fair was a most brutal one and all con-
cerned should be required to pay the
full penalty, especially the officers whose
sworn duty it is to see that the rules and
regulations Of the academy as provided
by the government are observed and
oheved.

Helsingfors, Finland, Nov. 1O.-The

Gently.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg says
that The Grand Duke Vladimir on last
Monday ordered brigade of the guards,
two batteries and several regiments OF
infantry sent to Helsingfors to overawe
the Finlanders who we're then making
their demands for freedom, to manage
their own affairs. The revolutionists
who held Governor General Obelinsky a
practical prisoner by inducing the Gov
nor to send note to St. Petersburg,
were able to prevent the troops from be-
ING sent here.

Terrible Scenes at Cronstadt.

Cronstadt WAS the scene of terrible
conflict Wednesday night and yesterday
aud the news has caused intense excite.
ment in the capital. Hundreds of sol
diers and sailors mutinied and sided
with the strikers and revolutionists. A
battle occurred between loyal troops and
the rebels. Machine guns were used
and hundreds Of people were killed and
wounded Houses we're sacked and
fred and part of the city has been
burned.
The glare of the flames could be seen
from the windows of the Emperor's pal
ace, at Peterhof.
The mutiny was complete, according
to the latest reports, not only the sailors,
but the garrison of some of the forts
joining in the Instruction. The few
soldiers and sailors who remained loyal
fought all night against the mutlneers
and the workmen who enlisted under
the banner of revolt Barricadts were
thrown up.
The inhabitants If Cronstadt are in a
panic. The boats to St. Petersburg have
stopped running and telephone and tele-
graph communications have been sever
ed. The panic stricken refugees who
escaped by boat say the Maxim guns
we're fired all night, and that this
morning the stre9ts were literally flowing
with blood
Yesterday two regiments Of COssacks
AMI the Imperial Horse Guards we've
dispatched to Cronstadt from St. Peters
burg, and regiment of Uhlans was sent
there from Oranienbaum, a few miles
west of Peterhof Altogether about
10, 900 troops are engaged in quelllng
the Instruction.
The Uhlans deserted to the mutineer;
and fought against the imperial troops.
Tie latter lost eight officers, killed OF
wounded. The artillerymen from the fort
ress have Joined the revoluiiOnists.
The American charge d'affaires, Spen'
Ger Eddy, has telegraphed 10 The governor
of Cronstadt requesting protection fol
American interests there. The Navy
Club, at Cronstadt, has been wrecked
and many shops burned. A great crowC
of rioters, including sailors, marched
through the town, shooting and other
wise terrorizing the population. Th'
clergy of CrCnstsdt have organized a pro
cession, hoping to prevent the spread o
incendiarsm and pilsge.

Prince Louis in New Yo<x.,

New York, Nov. l0.-Pfinoe Louis
of Battenburg. and his fellow officers of
the British heetin the Hudson riyer, had
scarcely recovered from the entertaining
that was accorded them last night,when
the time came to take up today,sspro-
pramme. Without exception the Eng
ishmen from Admiral to able seamen
expressed themselves as being delighted
with their first night in Manhattan. The
principal event today was q luncheon
given on Governors Island by General
Grant with the Prince as the guest OF
honor. Upon their return from Cover
nor's Island the Prince and his party
went to the Brooklyn navy yard, where
reception was held with Admiral
Cophlan as the host. There was much
friendly rivalry 10 advance between the
army and the navy to see which one
could make the best impression upon
his highness. Tonight the Prince and
his officers will attend the navy alumni
dinner, and tomorrow they will go on
an excursion to West Point and take
dinner there with Col. Robert NJ.
Thompson. The North river was
ablaze last night with lights from the
electrical decorations of the long line OF
British and American warships, and
both shores of the river we're lined with
thousands of people to witness the dis
play. So brilliant a spectacle has not
been witnessed in New York waters
since the occasion of the welcome OF
Admiral Dewey back from Manila.
Outlined in fire the seventeen ships at
impressive distances apart, and extend
ing from Fifly-fourth street, TO Grants
monument, lighted up the Hudson with
the aspect of carnival. A myriad OF
electric lights were used in the deco
ration of each one of the feet and search
lights were thrown in all directions.
Announcement was made today that
during the stay of she squadron here,
there would be a puglistic contest be-
tween able seaman Kirby, champion
weller weight of the English navy, and
able seaman Collins, weller weight OF
the United States navy. Kirby belongs
on the cruiser Bedford, and Collins is
aboard the Kearsarge. The bout will
be for purse of 800, and cup offered
By Prince Louis.

Mysterious Murder and Suicide.

With her brains blown out, a small
revolver still clasped tightly in her right
hand and her bridegroom lying dead be-
side her, the bride of less than day
was found at her home in Perqulmans
county, North Carolina, yesterday morn
ing. She was Mrs. Helen Johnston, the
wife OF Randolph G. Johnston.
The young woman, who was II years
old. was found when the bridal cham
Der doors were broken open lying on the
floor 10 front OF an oak-trimmed dresser.
On the only bed in the room was the
body OF Mr. Johnston, the newly made
bridegroom. One bullet had penetrated
the breast, another entering the right
cheek and third, whose results were
trivial, grszed the left temple, inhicting
a surface scratch
Miss Helen Hope, II years old, and
Randolph Johnston, aged % years,
were married Wednesday evening. A
crowd of friends attended the ceremony
aud participated in the succeeding
festivities, which lasted until al
most midnight. Then the bride and
bridegroom drove TO their supposed future
home, both carrying the best wishes Of
those who knew them. From the aspect o.
the bridal chamber, it is believed thai
some time between ] O'Clock aud
o'clock Yesterday morning Mrs. John
ston produced a pistol, which was O
only .22 caliber, and shot her husband
first either in the breast OF cheek. Either
wound would have killed him. The
bullet which grszed the forehead prob
ably was the second or third. Blood
from the bullet wound in his breas
flowed on the bedclothing and some
leaked through on the carpet.
After dealing the deadly shots Mrs
Johnston, il appears, walked toward the
bureau. She took only one shot at her
self, but that was enough. The revol'
yer muzzle was placed in her mouth.
The bullet plowed through her head anC
came out little behind and below hei
left ear. Death in each case was slmos
instantaneous.
The cause of the tragedy is a mystery.
Helen Hope had been loved by John
ston since she was a small girl. For q
year or so she returned bis affections,
and since the announcement of the we'd
ding every prediction was of happy life
for the couple.

rection of Attorney General Mayer OF
the State of New York aud with the as
sistance of District Attorney Jerome, the

election in this city. The grand jury
met at ] O'Clock and Attorney General
Mayer Immediately appeared before
them. The jury viii report 70 Recorder
Golf at one O'Clock this afternoon aud
whether they will return indictments
against election officials then is a matter
of conjecture. Superintendent Morgan
received number of ballots this morn
ing which had been found by policemen
aud others in alleyways and out-of-the-
way places. and it was apparent that
they had not been counted. These bal
lots, it is said, were found in the dis
tricts of two prominent political leaders,
and il is thought that the investigation
which the superintendent is making re-
garding them will lead to the indictment
of at least two persons "hgher up"

ed that subpoena had been issued for
President John X. Yoohis of the board
of elections to appear before the grand
Jury and to have with him the registry
books of the fifth election district Of the
18th assembly district. 1t is charged
that the face of the returns from this dis
trict was changed and that there was
much fraudulent voting there. Mr..
Voorhis accepted service and will appear
before the grand jury this afternoon.
The four election inspectors in this dis
trict, has, it is stated, been summoned
to appear before the grand jury to testify.
Former Sheriff Thomas Dunn is the Tam
many leader 10 the 26th assembly dis
trict.
The grand jury reported to Recorder
Golf shortly after one o'clock this after
noon, that they had not concluded the
business before them, and the recorder
ordered them to meet again on Monday.
After the grand jury had adjourned it
was learned that ten indictments were
ordered to be drawn up and that they
will be fled with Recorder Golf on Mon
day. 1t is not known how many persons
are involved in these ten indictments.
No arrests, it is understood, will be.
made today.
One OF the alleged fraud cases con-.
sidered by the grand jury today was the
fifth election district of The twenty-sixth.
assembly district. Former Sheriff Thos.
Dunn is the democratic leader in this
district and it was learned that Dunn, SO
far, has not been involved in any of the
cases considered.
