Armenians and Tartars Fight,

London, Sept. 5.-The Exchange
Telegraph Company has received dis
patch from st. Petersburg, which says
that the whole Caucasus has become in
volved in desperate struggle between
Armenians and Tartars. The latter are
openly supported by the police. Sc
we're fighting has occurred at several
points. At Bsku, where the fighting
has been in progress internationally since
September 2, the casualties are said to
reach into the hundreds. The troops
there have frequently been made the
victims of attack by Armenian employees
of the street railroads, according to other
reports which have reached here. The
authorities throughout the districts
where the trouble has occurred, are
inactive.

with the attempted removal by The pub
lie printer of Ricketts, and Foreman
Hay 10 the special commission, which
recently investigated the award of con-
tract for the purchase OF Lanston mono
type machines for the printery. While
Mr., Palmer declines to see a single rep
resentative of the press, it is believed
that he will take no action looking TO-
ward the removal of the two foremen
who refused to resign when requested.
Ricketts, was at the office attending to
his duties early this morning and dur
ing the afternoon an assistant was act
ing for him. Ris friends say that he
will return to his desk during the
afternoon, despite the fact that
Palmer had set today noon as the time
10 remove him. Hay hes been in New
York since Saturday night, but is ex-
pected back this afternoon. His duties
are being performed By a substitute and
apparently the Public Printer has made
no effort to fill either his place, or that
OF Ricketts, Everything was apparent
ly ready this morning to remove the two
men. The word from Oyster Bay stop

ed to the foremen detailed specifications

he had requested their designations.

ImnendInR Famine.

London, Sept. 5.-The correspondent
of the Exchange Telegraph Company,
at Lahore, India, telegraphs that as a
consequence of the terrible drought
which has prevailed throughout India,
the Indian government recognizes the
fact that a famine is sure TO follow, and
is already making preparations to meet
conditions which will arise when the
supply of food begins to shrink. These
preparations are being made on an elab-
crate scale, and are being pushed rapid
ly. Everything possible is being done
to afford relief to the people when the
famine comes.

Attempt to lynch Murderer.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 5.-More than
one hundred men early this morning
made a determined but unsuccessful at
tempt to lynch James F. Barnes, who
Sunday night shot and killed Patrick
Hanley, as the result of slight argu-
ment. The Jail was taken by storm, the
woud-be lynchers commanding the broad
stairway leading to the door of the court
house. With drawn pistols they fired
over the heads of the crowd and the police
who attempted to enter. Inside a mob
battered at the big steel doors, but with
out effect. In the upper corridors were
stationed a number Of deputy sheriffs
with revolvers, and this tended to hold
the angry crowd back. The mob finally
sent for dynamite, but those dispatched
on the errand failed to return promptly,
and the ring leaders abandoned the at
tempt and were persuaded by the police
to disperse.

TUESDAY EVENING. SEP. 5, 1905.

WHILE the ENJOYS at Portsmouth
have virtually declared peace between
Russia and japan, the world at large
seems TO be restless. The japanese
army, it seems, is not anxious for peace
and is 10 bellicOse condition YET. This
is a sad phase in the relations between
the two countries, and the officials are
naturally apprehensive at the outcome.
Should the Mikado's troops strike a
serious blow at this time the effects
would be preaching. Aside from this
serious menace to peace, dispatches from
portions of Russia show conditions in
that empire 10 be far from pacific Riot
ing bloodshed and incendiarism are
still in evidence, and many believe num-
hers of such acts are never heard OF out
side of the Cars realms. Chronic
troubles exist in the balkans and Turk
i.h rebels are active. Affairs in Spain
are attracting attention. Thousands
are said to be on the verge of starvation
and bomb-tbrowing and rioting is COM
mon occurrence. Another uprising IN
China is reported, while the newspapers
of our own country TEEN with accounts
of brutal murders and the doings Of
modern bluebeards. We are aisotold
that strikes on large scale are contem-
Mated in the near future. 1t is said
that $50, 900 miners are preparing 10
Quit work. There is no telling what a
few months may bring forth.

The Police Force.

A reorganization Of the Police Force
will be of more service to the city than
lockers, desk phones, CHEERS room, bath
tubs, etc. Judging from the newspaper
reports of the conduct of some policemen
some one in authority should get busy
and act. Last Saturday slick darkey
prisoner juggled with a stationkeePer
long enough to induce the latter TO allow
him to walk out of the cell for an airing.
Watching his opportunity the darkey
made break for freedom; the officer pur-
sued him, but the darkey being light on
his feet soon left the officer long in the
rear. The writer suggests that gym
nasium be added to the improvements
so that officers who are carrying super
fluous flesh can have a chance 10 reduce
their weight and make them better

Riot at Baseball Game.

A riot, in which several people were
injured, occurred yesterday afternoon at
ball game in Cumberland, Md. be-
tween the Cumberland and Frostburg
teams. At least 500 people were mixed
up in the affair, which was quelled only
by the arrival of squad of police.
The trouble started when President
Dillon, of the Frosburg team, incensed
at a decision of Umpire Carl Hines,
which permitted Tate, of Cumberland, to
score, rushed on the diamond, and, it is
alleged, struck at Hines. He was fol-
lowed by his sons, Alden and Charles
Dillon, which was a signal for an army
of rioters to rush on the field.
Chris Himmler injured his hand so
badly ny blow that an operation re-
moving a section OF bone will have to be
performed. Himmler was struck over the
head with a baseball bat and bottles were
hurled at him, but he was not hurt much
except the injury to his hand. This
threatening demonstration toward Hmm
Ter caused him to fight right and left,
and three men we're knocked down in
side ten seconds. Himmler says he
went in as peacemaker until attacked
himself
A butcher from Frostburg named Engel
was laid out by stomach blow. There
were at least twenty knock-dowus. Sew
eral Cumberland men received cut faces
or black eyes, but the worst INJURY was
done to the Frostburg contingent. A
number ofarrests will be made. There
were about 5000 spectators, including
500 or 400 ladies. There has been bad
feeling between Cumberland and Frost
burg for wears.

DisOrderlY Negroes.

A negro who gave the name of w. NJ.
Minor, of Washington, D. c., and de-
scribed himself as an officer of Washing
ton Patriarchs, No. Is, was fined $50 in
the Richmond Police Court yesterday
morning for drunkenness, disorder, and
resisting an officer last Sunday. Minor
came down with negro excursion, which
passed through Richmond on its way
from Washington to Hampton. Before
reaching Richmond Conductor Trice
heard several negroes declare that they
would show the white VirginiaDs how
negroes should be treated. He tele-
graphed ahead that Richmond had better
send policemen to the station, as many
of the negroes we're. drunk and in an
ugly mood. A platoon of police was,
therefore, on hand, and captured ten
drunken negroes. Minor, who was COW
cred with regalis, is alleged to have adj
vised the negroes not to submit to arrest.
He showed fight himself, but was beat
en- into submission. The other negroes
were fined IS apiece, and Minor ten
times that sum. He telegraphed for
money to get him out of Jail.

President ROOSEVELT has announc-
cd thf appointrent of Robert Bacon, OF
New York. to succeed Francis B. LOOMS
as Assistant Secretary of State. This
announcement, coming as it does before
the official statement that Mr.. Loomis
has resigned, is naturally regarded as
rebuke to Mr.. LOOMS, whose name has
been mixed up in the Venezuela asphalt
trust scandal and whose personal con-
nection with commercial matters has
brought the diplomatic service of the
government into disrepute. Mr.. Loomls's
last wear in the State Department has
been one of much trouble. he was
charged by Herbert w. Bowen, former
Minister to Venezuela, with having been
in the pay of the asphalt trust while
himself Minister TO Caracas lie was
exonerated from this charge; but IN his
report TO the President, Secretary OF
War Taft declared that Mr.. LoOmis had
allowed his personal business and his
public duties to become so intertwined
that his discretion and judgment bad
been severely reflected upon. Since
then the publication of his connection
with the Oinoco Company, of Vene-
zuela. while he was Minister to that
country, has served 10 further discredit
his. He should Ego" and the talk OF
him being appointed Minister to Brazil
should stop at once.

Manand Wife Poisoned.

George w. Arnold, well-known
Lynchburg merchant, and his wife are
lying dead at their home in that city,
probably poisoned. Mrs. Arrold died
Sunday night, and Mr.. Arnold breathed
his last few minutes after he was dis
covered yesterday morning. Arnold, it
is said, had been drinking for several
DAYS, and the general theory is that,
confused by his condition, he gave his
wife, who was ill, the wrong medicine,
and on seeing the mistake, took poison
himself. A bottle of bedbug poison was
found on the table in the room. Mrs.
Arnold was seen by doctor Sunday
afternoon, and no one else saw either of
them until they were found early yester-
day morning. The woman lay on the
bed in her underclothes, while the man
was on the floor by the side of the bed
fully dressed. Their boy, about three
years old, was wandering in the street,
when a neighbor. hearing groans issuing
from the house, started to make an in
yestigatiOn.

Dear Sir: But few Of the men who sell the

much about them. All Deyoe agents have a

about Deyoe but the rest; we see that they
do. We buy every paint, that has any sale,

When we know what paiut is made-of, We
know how il will act; we know how far it

Devoe is the standard; call it 100. The
best of the rest is about rs; the worst about
%; the rest are between.
But the men, who sell them, don't know
sny better. They know what the maker tells
them. That is; they know that he tells them.
They don't know whether he tells them the

of the blast furnaces. The relation be-

the first half of the year of seven fur
naces of an average capacity Of little
more than $4,000 tons year and the

RAILWAY STRIKE
 BEGINS IN ITALY
GENERAL WALKoUT IN RAILWAY cENTERS WILL BE INAUGURAT- ED THIS MoRNlNG-PREMIER FoRTEs PROMISES ORDER.

Rome, April 16.-A general strike Of railway employees is to be inaugurated to- morrow morning in accordance with the arrangements perfected through cipher telegrams directed to all railway centers by the agitation committee at Rome
 The Nepoitan railroad men were insis- tent upon going on strike Saturday night and as a concession to them the central authorities of the Operatives association consented that traffic on some of the Ma ples lines should be stopped immediately but that on others one train should be run today. The strike will prove great embarrassment to foreign tourists, of whom there are a great many in Italy just now.
 In reply to an interrogation in the chamber of deputies relative to the rail- road bill which is on the calendar for discussion on Monday Premier Fortis said:
 We still hope with persuasion to bring the railroad men to reason, but If these means are insufficient I declare that the government knows it's duty, and how to accomplish it with the appreciation of the cabinet, trusting to have the approval of public opinion which has wished to pre- vent arrogance by the railroad men. I can state that public order will be main tained everywhere. and also that the pub lie will be served within the limits of possibility. The government feels that it has the moral and material strength to accomplish what it considers to be its right and duty"
 The chief measures upon which the government relies consist in having the stations occupied by military and trains conducted by soldiers the navy supplying engine drivers and stokers. Trains will be escorted by soldiers and will carry work men ready to repair any damage that may be inflicted on the tracks. Express trains will be discontinued and the mini mum of one ordinary train daily will be maintained on each of the principal lines The tracks wll be patrolled by cavalry.

EXCITEMENT INCREASES.
Porcelain Strikers More Violent at
 Limoges, France.

Limoges France April 16.-The excite ment among the porcelain strikers is be- coming more violent, and manifesting it. self principally against the American firm of Haviland, which has taken a leading part in the lockout.
 The socialist mayors attitude of inac- tivity and his appeal to the ministry not to send troops appears to encourage the workmen to continue their demonstra- tions. They now refuse to listen to his advice to remain calm and consequently a representative of the Haviand concern went to Paris to interview the minister of the interior who ordered reinforce ments to be sent here In the meantime the strikers exploded a package of car tri6ges before the house of the manager of the Haviland works without causing much damage. I he barricades which were erected on Saturday are still in place.
 A procession of several thousand men, some of them armed, paraded the streets this morning, proceeding to the prison where they unsuceessfully attempted to force the doors. The mob then destroyed religions statue. A picket of troops endeavored to break up the demonstra- tion but the strikers resisted. stoning the soldiers and hooting the officers The crowd fully dispersed on the arrival of cavalry
