sembIance of Order Restored.

Odessa. June 29-(Evening IA sem- blance of order was restored this evening but the situation Is still most cricical.
 The central railway station was de- storyed by fire this evening. many persons being injured and taken to the hospitals. The populace Is still in a venGeful mood and unless the situation is handled with the utmost care, anything yet may hap pen.
 Thus far the only incident reported besides the burning of the central rail- way station Is the explosion of bomb in a private house. by which several per- sons were injured; but it is impossible to get precise information or permission 10 visit the actual scenes of conflict. Sensational accounts, which cannot be definitely confirmed are current regarding Wednesday nights rioting. In these ac- counts 1t is stated that no fewer than a thousand persons were killed. The troops faced a position of complete an- archy thousand of desperate incendarles trying to set fire to every building. They were compelled to adopt the sternest measures and employed machine guns against the mob.
 It is alleged that at o'clock this morn ing a large body of rioters tried to enter the central part of the town by way of Polish hill and that a terrific fusilade was kept up by both sides with rifles and revolvers It Is also alleged that hum dreds were killed and that when great mob tried to ascend the steps near the church of St Nicholas to reach the boulevard St. Nicholas.

SfD'TION IN THE ARMY
Admiralty Fears krueer's Men Will Not Be Willing to Fire on Their Comrades on the kniaz
 Potemkine.

St Petersburg. June 20, 250 a. m.-The Russian government although 1t has been almost paralyzed by the terrible events at Odessa and tho news that the sailors at Libau also have mutnied, is making des- perate and even frantic efforts to meet the situation and to stamp the flames of revolution before they can spread to the army, which is now the last bulwark of the autocracy.
 With Poland red with the spirit of re- volt, the Caucasus already almost in a state of civil war; agrarian disorders spreading rapidly the whole country fro- foundly stirred and the intelligent classes solidly arrayed against th government. all conditions seem .ipe for the long pre- dicted revolution.
 The first act of the government after despatchng Admiral Kruger's squadron from Sebastopol, was to summon the Kniaz Potemkine, whose mutineers seem now to have been joined by the crews of the two torpedo boats which accompanied it to Odessa, to surrender under the threat of firing on and sinking the vessel. This was followed by the declaration of mar tial law at Odessa and Libau and the clothing of the military commanders with plonary powers.
 The newly formed council for Imperial defense met last night under the presi- dency of Grand Duke Nicholas and was in session long after midnight Beyond the fact that the temper of the army was considered at length, nothing Is known as to what occurred in the council nor regarding the decision at which 1t arrived.

Captured By Ruse.
 

At the time of mutlny court mar tial was actually in progress at Sebas- topoI and several of the crew of the battleship had been sentenced by it.
 The accepted version in St. Petersburg is that the vessel was captured by a ruse. When she arrived in the offing at odessa the Kniaz Potenkne signaled the captain to come on board When he appeared at the gangway he was seized and the boats crew being informed of inc situation returned and led their com rades against the other officers whom they placed in irons. Late dispatches from Llbau say that property losses there are considerable and that all the work men have gone out in sympathy with the atcion of the blue jackets.
 The mutiny at Libau, following on the heels of the events at Odessa gave rise to the impression that it might be the re- suit of general plot of the sailors but no connection between these happenings has yet been established. Up to mid night the blue jackets at Cronstadt had made no move which would indicate their connection with a plot.

Loss Will Be Millions.

Dispatches received here from Odessa do not make the situation very clear Mill lions of dollars worth of property nclud- ing ships has been burned or otherwise destroyed The city is terror-stricken. and many, probably hundreds, have been killed or wounded in the street fighting. The fact that the troops and police made no attempt to interfere with the burial of the martyred sailor is considered to be conclusive evidence that they either felt themselves powerless or feared 10 make the attempt on account of the attitude of the populace.
 Under the cover of darkness. produced by the dense pail of smoke hanging over the city, 1t Is reported the mob has be- gun to sack and plunder. Foreign prop erty has suffered heavily. In naval cir cles the cause of the mutiny on board the Kniaz Potemklne is attributed prin- cipally to the severity of Vice Admiral Chuktins regime. He Is martinet of n most severe type and several of his sailors have already been shot for dis obedience.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-06-30
Orders Not Unanimous.

At the admiralty where tine temper of the Black sea sailors is known, the or ders sent to Admiral Kruger's squadron were by no means unanimously approved. Among others, Vice Admiral Skrydloff openly expressed the opinion that the blue jackets of Kruger's ships would not fire on their comrades on board the Knlaz Po- temklne, but that on the contrary they might revolt should they De ordered to shoot.
 Admiral Skrydloff was of the opinion that the best course would be to allow the crew of the Kniaz Potemkne to re- main on board until 1t had been starved Into submission
 In this connection the story is current that the crew of the batteship captured two English ships loaded with provisions and Is holding them alongslce.
 As far as known here Admiral Kruger. although due at odessa early last even ing had not arrived up to midnight and this gave rise to the rumors that the crews actually seized the other ships of the squadron.

Honeycombed With seditlon.

It Is thought that many regiments are honeycombed with sedition. Indeed the most startling stories involving the un- reliability of the troops are being repeat ed in St. Petersburg, but the truth of many of them is more than questionable.
 What effect the news of the turbulence at Odessa will have can only be con jectured.
 When the news reaches the army in Manchuria it is bound 10 create a deep impression. The authorities, however real izing that 1t was certain to leak out. and that there would be exaggerated versions of it, and perhaps to prepare the way for a public announcement, are now send ing some dispatches to the newspapers. but they only contain information aot for publication.

O. r, e. N. COMPANY HAS DECIDED
UPON THE PRICE OF TRANS
PORTATION.
Will Arrange for Daylight Excursion
From WalIa WaIIa to Portland
During the Summer.

A. L. Craig, general passenger agent
of the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company, has issued a circular an
nouncing the rates from Walla Walla
to Portland during the Lewis and
Clark fair, the local office receiving the
same yesterday. The rates are very
liberal and will no doubt result in a
large number of Walla Walla people
taking advantage of them and visiting
the exposition during the coming sum-
mer.
According to the schedule arranged
individual tickets will be sold at the
local office and depot on May 20 to
October Is inclusive, good for 30 days,
at one and third of the regular
fare, or $3.50.
Party tickets, for 10 or more persons
on one ticket, going and returning, one
fare, or $3.50, with final list of ten
days. These tickets will be on sale on
the same dates as the individual
tickets.
For organized parties of 100 or
more, moving on one day from one
place, Individual tickets at one fare,
$3.50, for round trip with 10 days
limit. This means that the entire
party must leave Walla Walla the
in6i-
vidually any time within the ten day
limit.
In addition to the other rates it is
the intention of the company to run
occasional daylight coach excursions
from Walla Walla to Portland at less
than one fare for the round trip, with
a seven day limit. The exact rate mas
not yet been decided upon for these
excursions but it will be about Sc.
General Agent Burns and City
Ticket Agent Van De Water will make
an effort to arrange for a number of
the day excursions and with low rate
it is expected that they will be able to
secure hundreds of people to go to
Portland on the days such trains are
run from Walla Walla.
Already many people have decided
to get up small parties to attend the
fair and from the time the fair opens
and until it closes big crowds will
probably leave WaIla Walla daily.

which troop proves the most efficient
