COUNSEL for L. 5. Senator Burton,
OF Kansas, who was indicted by the fed
erl grand jury in St. Louis last Friday,
has filed a demurrer to the indictment.
If the demurrer be sustained Senator
Burton will be acquitted, as the statute
of limitations in his case causes the time
during which he may be tried to expire
on November Is, and no other indict-
ment may be returned after that date.
Mr.. Burton is hard-pressed and is grab
Ting at straws, but there was time in
the history of this country when a Sena-
tor would not have dared take advantage
of a "Auke" to save himself from trial
on a charge Of violating the law he swore
10 maintain.

ALLEGING that her husband, because
OF jealousy, kept bulldog chained to

coald not get out, and so that there
would not be any danger Of men seeing
her when he was away, woman OF
York, Pa, formerly of Emmettsburg,
Nd, where the affair took place, yester-
dav secured a divorce from her husband.
Such rude method OF finding out
"who's bee1 here since I've been gone"
was evidently considered by the court
too drastic in these a ,vanced times of
freedom of action and therefore good and
sufficient cause for a divorce; besides, tue
judge may have had some consideration

St. Petersburg, Nov. ia dispatch
which has been received from Vladivos-

port are now ablaze. The greater part
OF the place has already been consumed.
The situation today is desperate. The
mobs are in practical control of the
town, and the looting which has marked
the progress of the outbreak continues
undated. The rioters likewise con-
tinue to fire buildings and the flames
are spreading rapidly. To make the
situation worse, the food supply is grow
ing short and famine threatens the city.
The vessels in the harbOr are crowded
with refugees, who are afraid 10 remain
on shore.
During the first day of rioting. 300
rioters, mostly sailors and artillerymen,
we're killed or wounded AS yet, how
ever, individual citizens have not been
mOlested.
The riot was started by malcontent
reservists. They started the trouble by
looting a bazaar. The irresOluiiOn Of
the authorities, who failed to take vigor-
Gus measures to put an end to the out
break, was responsible for the spread of
the disorder. Seeing they were not in
terfered with in their first attack, the
rioters broke into other shops. All
business houses in the commercial sec
ton we're entered and plundered. The
rioters soon became drunk, aud then
resorted to all forms OF violence, ap-
psrently being inspired by one motive
to do all the damage that lay within
their power.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOV. 10. 1905.
A UNITED STATES SENATOR is au-

A UNITED STATES SENATOR is au-
thority for The statement that b. h.
Rogers, Of the Standard Oil Company,
will probably be summoned before the
bar of the Senate this winter in cOnse-
quence Of charges made by Thomas W.
Lawson. in his last installment Of
'Frenzied Finance " Lawson himself
and Senator William A. Clark, of Mon
tana, will, it is said, also be called on to
tell the Senate what they know regarding
the truth of the formers charges COLI
tanned in the article mentioned. These
charges affect more than half the mem
bership Of the Senate as it stood three
or four years ago. Briefly, the Lawson
allegations are that after Senator Clafk
had been reelected to the Senate by the
Montana Legislature, subsequent TO the
contest which led to Clark's resignation
of his senatorial seat to avoid expulsion,
H. II. Rogers went to him and insisted
that he should take steps to have stopped
the fight which Augustus Heinze was
making on the Standard Oil crowd in
Montana. Clark is alleged to have re-
fused to attempt what Rogers asked.
Then Rogers is said to have threatened
that if Clark did not comply with bis
request he would have him expelled from
the United States Senate, notwithstand'
his recent reelection by the Montana
Legislature without even a show OF OPP
position. Senator Clark is said 10 have
laughed at this threat of the Standard
Oil magnate. According to the Lawson
story, Rogers proceeded TO show CLARK
documents in which more than major
ity of the members of the Senate had
committed themselves to vote for the ex-
pulsion of Clark from his seat On this
showing, according to Lawson, Senator
Clark sgreed to stop the Heiuze fight on
the Standard Oil crowd in Montana and
his efforts were successful. The Senator
alluded to at the beginning of this para
graph says that Thomas Lawson's
charges were so circumstantial and grave
that Senator Clark would be compelled
by the Senate rules to take notice OF
them when the Senate met by rising in
his place and making an explanation as
a matter of the highest privilege What
ever his explanation might be, it is de-
clared that the Senate will be forced to
make an investigation and that Rogers
and Lawson will be summoned before
the committee on privileges and cleo
tons to give their version OF the affair.

mand for autonomy shouldspread to Prus-

proposed liberal policy toward Poland to
be perilous. The German ruler also
reiterated bis former promise to pour
German troops into Poland if their pre-
sence should be needed, and it is be-
