TROUBLE IN WAKE
OF TABOR BANK

Des Moines, Nov. 10.-Auditor OF
State Carroll was called to Tabor
yesterday by Bank Examiner H. M.
Germany because of the new compli.
cation which had arisen in the affairs
of the State bank of Tabor, whose
doors closed Friday.
The bank was expected to open it's
doors on Wednesday and resume bus
mess as usual. President G. A.
Barnes had arranged to secure plen-
ty Of ready money with which to
meet any run that might be started
on account of the reported shortage
of the vice president, c. II. Dye.
While on the mission of securing
this ready cash, Mr.. Barnes was very
seriously injured in a runaway. He
suffered the fracture of several ribs
and otherwise was badly hurt. On
account of his injuries it was impos.
sible to carry out the plan he had for.
mulated for resumption of business
by the bank.
Bank Examiner Germany, who has
charge of the bank all of this time
and was familiar with the plan for
reopening it, considered the compiled.

anime the condition of the institution

MISSIONARIES
SpEARED TO DEATH

Hong Kong, Nov. 10.-Dr. Machle
the American missionary who escaped
the massacre at Lienchow, confirming
the previous accounts of the outbreak,
adds horrifying details of the atroci-
ties committed on the American wo-
man. When the disturbances COM
menced the mob seized Miss Chest
nut and Mrs. Machle and exposed
them to public view in the Chinese
temple. Amy Machle, the doctors
10-year-old child, was carried off and
flung alive into the river. The rioters
stripped Miss Chestnut naked and
flung her into the river. While the
two were struggling in the water
three Cinnamon speared them with
tridents. Miss Chestnut's body and
Amy Machle's HEAD were pierced.
Mrs. Machle appealed to the rioters,
but the mob stoned her brains out,
stripped the body and flung in into
the river. The mob then captured
Mr.. and Mrs. Paale, stripped thea
naked. exposed them for fifteen rai1-
utes, dubbed Mr.. Peale to death ia
his wife's presence and subsequently
killed Mrs. Peale in the same brutal
fashion.

RUSSIA is IN QUANpARY.
The Situation in Poland Causes Great
Perplexity.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 12-The dec
laration of martial law throughout
Poland is evidence of the determine.
ton of the government to try to nip
in the bud the attempt to secure the
measure of autonomy which the king.
dom of Poland possessed under the
constitution which was suppressed af
ter the revolution of 1863. The ease
with which the Firms, stalking at the
opportune moment, compelled the
government to make q complete sur
render, encourage the Poles to at
tempt a similar stroke and the gov
eminent has received adviceS which
leave no doubt that broad cOnspir
acy was organized to attain this end
The leaders of the movement propose
to adopt the tactics followed in Fin
land. The government will resist
to the utmost. Count White himself
believes that if the government is
forced at this juncture to grant au.
tonomy to Poland it might mark the
beginning of the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
the empire.
The hope of the government Is that
the Poles are striking too late, as the
railroads throughout Russia have re
sumed operations and the transporta-
ton of troops is possible. Never
theless, the government will be in
uuandary should the passive resis-
lance of Poland change to an armed
uprising, as it is question whether
the government is strong enough to
suppress it by force. To carry on
civil war in Poland now would expose
the government to attacks in the rear
from the revolutionary elements or
the people
The demand for the levelling of all
ranks and the abolishing of the priv
ileges of caste which was the chief
choice of the early days of the French
revolution has seized upon the Rus
sian people and even the town coun-
Gil of st. Petersburg in response to
numerous petitions has requested the
government to abrogate the rule by
which the center of the Nevski pros.
pect and other fashionable through
fares is kept free for the private car
riages of the aristocracy, thus crowd
ing the public carriages to the curbs.

INSURANCE INQUIRY
IN Now UNDER WAY

Des Moines, Nov. 11.-An inquiry
as to the conduct and conditions of
life and fire insurance companies is
now being conducted under the or
ders of the auditor of state.
Iowa insurance companies of all
kinds will be the subject of legisla-
tive investigation this winter.
These two facts became definitely
known in Des Moines yesterday. The
former is the result of a desire on the
part of the auditor and insurance de-
partment to be thoroughly familiar
with insurance conditions and able
to recommend legislation if called up
on by the legislature.
The latter will be the result of the
efforts of number of prominent
members of the house, who have
spent large amount of time col
Iecting evidence and data since the
revelations in New York state. A
resolution calling for an investigation
Of insurance conditions in Iowa will
be introduced in the session In each
house. Iowa companies welcome in

Flame of Revolt Breaks Out
in St Petersburg
Seaport.
CITY is REPORTED IN FLAMES
Gar Can See Them From Window
of His Palace-Sailors Go Out in
Mutiny and Clash with Soldiers in
Streets.


Cronstadt, Russia, Nov 10.-The
troops here have mutinied and are pill
Laying the city. Firing is going on in
streets. The inhabitants are panic
stricken and are fleeing from the
town.
st. Petersburg, Nov 10.--Intense
excitement prevails here owing to
the alarming news from Cronstadt.
According to the reports a mutiny OF
the sailors occurred during Wednes,
day night and was followed by reg
ular battle with the troops during
which machine guns were used. The
workme. sided with the sailors and
hundreds were killed or wounded.
Later the loren was used and the
town is now in flames. 1t is report.
ed that the glare of the fire can be
seen from the windows Of the emper.
ors palace at Peterhof
The inhabitants of Cronstadt are in
panic. The boats to ST. Petersburg
have stopped running and telephone
and telegraph communications have
been severed.
1t is impossible now to verify the re.
ports or secure details of the happen
ings.
The American charge d'affaires,
Spencer Eddy, has telegraphed to the
governor of Cronstadt, requesting
protection of American interests
there. The latest reports from Cron-
stadt say that the navy club has been
wrecked; that many shops have been
burned and that great crowd of
rioters, including sailors, is march
ing through the town shooting and
otherwise terrorizing the population.
People are fleeing from the city on
board steamers for st. Petersburg.
The clergy of Cronstadt have organ
lied a procession, hoping to prevent
the spreading of incendiarism and
pillage.
Later reports from Cronstadt only
magnify the horror of the situation.
The mutiny was complete. not only
the sailors, but the garrisons of some
of the forts joining in the insurrec-
ton. The few soldiers and sailors
who remained royal fought all night
against the mutineers and the work
men who enlisted under the banner
of revolt. Barbados were thrown
up. "
The panic stricken refugees who
escaped by boat say the Maxim guns
were fired all night and that in the
morning the streets were literally
flowing with blood. They place the
number of dead and wounded far in
to the hundreds.
Yesterday two regiments of Cos
sacks and the ImeDrial Horse guards
were dispatched to Cronstadt from
ST. Petersburg and a regiment of
Uhlans was sent from Oranienbaum,
few miles west of ST. Petersburg.
Altogether about 10000 troops are
engaged in quelling the instruction.
Reports in regard to the exact situa-
ton at Cronstadt are conflicting. Ac-
cording to some reports the sailors
and strikers were finally surrounded,
but have not yet surrendered. Both
sides have been losing heavily. The
troops lost eight officers, killed and
wounded.
Kronstadt, Nov. 1.-THE mutiny
here is entirely suppressed. The
mutineers who were holding out in
the eastern section of the town have
been arrested. The disorderly ele-
ments are under control.

PEKNSYLV WANNA
GOES DEMOCRATIC

Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 9.-Estimates
from possibly every county in the
state indicate the election of Berry,
democratic, for state treasurer by
from $4,000 to 100000 plurality. Of

the figures.

Berry, fusion candidate for state
treasurer. carried the city over Plum
mer (rep) by 36.O37 plurality.
The political revolution in this
city and in the state yesterday was
the greatest that has occurred in
Pennsylvania in Ecarly generation.
There have been previous upheavals,
but this is the first time in years
that every office for which there was
any semblance of contest had been
lost to the regular republicans. 1t is

have been waged against the republi-
cans for the Office, but without sue

yesterdays election was the first that
has been held for the place since the

The plurality of William H. Berry

may go above these figures.
J. Lee Plummer, republican candid

mainder of the republican ticket was
elected by the usual republican plu-

FRAUDS WILL

New York, Nov. 9.-That a bitter
fight will be waged in the courts to
decide whether George B. Mcclellan
Or William Rapdolph Hearst is TO be
mayor of New York for the next four
years, is now assured. The complete
returns give Mcclellan plurality of
3,485 votes, the smallest ever record.
ed for successful mayoralty candi-
date and a result which might readily
be reversed by recount of the bal.
lots.
Mr.. Hearst yesterday announced his
intention to take an immediate ap.
peal to the supreme court, his man.
ayers having declared that they had
secured evidence of illegal acts
against 1000 inspectors of election
and that 10000 Hearst men who went
to the polls to vote for Mr.. Hearst
had found that their names had al
ready been voted.
Most of the fraudulent voting is
said to have been done in East Side
assembly districts, especially in the
Eighteenth, Charles F. Murphy's

which Timothy d. Sullivan is the
