BUBBLES OF MARK PAN|C ON A LINER
Six People Found to be
Missing Afterwards.
A List Of La Champagne Raises the
Cry Of "She's Sinking" and
for a Time Madness
Reigns.
Reigns.
CBv the Associated Press

Havana, Dec. "a wild panic on
board the French line steamer La
Champagne this afternoon resulted
in the injury of six, and the possible
drowning of from three to six per-
sons. The La Champagne arrived
from French and Spanish ports with
$50 cabin and 1,400 steerage passen-
gers, LOO of whom were bound for
Havana and 800 for Mexico.
The steamship had a small cargo
and but little coal, and after anchor
ing and discharging the cabin pas
sengers she began coaling. At the
time she was slightly listed, and the
crowd of Spanish immigrants swarm
ing to her side to watch the lighters,
caused her to list more and take on a
quantity Of water i'm her open ports
Some Of the lighter men cried out
that the ship was sinking, and the
frightened immigrants struggled and
fought for a chance to escape. Some
four hundred men and women jump
ed to the lighters and a score of men
into the water. A few of these swan
ashore and some of them chung to
small boats
The officers of the ship and the
ports police finally Gained the ex-
cited Immigrants. Meanwhile the
coal ports had been closed and the
ship righted herself after she had
taken on a few tons of water.
A check Of the passenger list this
evening revealed the fact that six
persons are missing. II is not defin-
itely known that these were drowned,
as it is possible that they may have
reached the shore.

AN IMPORTANT BULLETIN.
On tie Inspection and Analyses Of
Concentrated Stock Feeds.

The November bulletin of the De-
partment of Agriculture is ON the
inspection and analyses of concen>
trated stock feeds. and it's author is
Mr. Ceburn D. Harris. of this city
assistant State chemist. This State
has passed several laws protecting the
people from frauds, and the protection
Of farmers has been considered of par
amount importance The law which
stands out pre-eminentlly of benefit to
the agricultural interests is the ferti-
lizer law. and the next in Importance
perhaps is the cotton seed meal law
There is also q pure food law and g
concentrated feeding-stuff lawy.
The law passed in 1903 prohibited
the adulteration of feeds and required
manufacturers 70 guarantee and keep
their products up to certain standards.
but did not prohibit the mixing of the
various by-Droducts of mills SO long
as these mixtures bore an ANALYSIS and
tax tag and were not injurious TO the
health OF domestic animals. This fact
was taken advantage Of anr rice chaff
peanut hullS oat hul!s and ground
corn-cobs were frequently found in
feed mixtures. The Legislature of
1906 changed the law Of 1908 so that
the above worthless feed substitutes
could not he used in any feed mixture.
This bulletin IS one of the most i'm
portant issued by the Department.

lBy the Associated Press

New York. Dec. 5.-Mark Twain
was the guest of honor tonight at a
dinner at Delmonico's given by Col.
George Harvey in honor of the humor-
lists SEVENTEEN birthday The guests
were confined closely to writer's of
Imaginative literature and about 40
authors were present, nearly half of
them women.
Mark responded to a toast in his
own quaint and inimitable style,
showing that his humor is as fresh
and spontaneous as ever. He said
among other things:

Begun in Russia.
REDS IN THE SADDLE

of Strikes.
(By the Associated Press. }

ST. Petersburg, Dec. 4.-Monday
evening via Eydkhunen. East Prussia.
Dec. although there appears to
fears that an outbreak is imminent,
the population continues in a state of
anxious suspense.
The garrison has now been rein
forced by forty-two battallions of in
fantry, fifty squadrons of cavalry and
twelve machine gun batteries The city
is divided into four districts under
Generals Osaro-., Dudenski, Sterma
and Trodski, respectively.
The government, il IS reported, mar
rowly frustrated a plot whereby a
thousand armed men had arranged
to raid the State treasury. One of the
conspirators, it is said. betrayed his
fellows, whereupon the leaders know
ing that their attack could be re-
pulsed by the troops with great
slaughter abandoned it. The eXis-
tence of this conspiracy led to a re-
port that martial law would be pro-
claimed tomorrow (Tuesday) but this
is authoritatiyely denied.
The extension of the strike of the
telegraphers to the postal system is
complete and the paralysis of business
is increasing the danger of a financial
crisis.
The strike of the Moscow telephone
operators who cut the wires and tore
up the poles, has severed the last
means of communication with the an
cient capital.
The present conditions are unbear-
able. sympathy with the poorly paid
post and telegraph employees is now
turning into Indignation against the
strikers. and the public is supporting
q formidable movement which has
been started by all classes to throw
off the yoke of the revolutionaries.
The government is undoubtedly en-
couraging the organization of these
forces. The 'law and order party
took the lead which is now being fol-
lowed by the society of strike break
ers" but the most important move
ment has been started under the
leadership of Father Gapon, the for
mer idol of the workmen. who since
his residence abroad has become con-
WINGED that Russia is not prepared for
a republic and is appealing to his old
comrades to cut loose from the revo-
lutionary agitators. The latter charge
that Father Gapon has been bought
and that he is a traitor to tho cause
of the people. Father Gapon, however,
is sincere, and his influence undoubt-
edly is great
If this movement should grow and
an effective split among the workmen
be thereby created it will prove of
immeasurable service to the govern
ment in tiding things over until the
meeting of the Douma.
