Conditions in Rnssia.

St. Petersburg, Aug. THE torpe-
do boat which was sent in pursuit of the
battleship Kniaz Potemkin, while she
was in the hands of mutinee GERS, has re-
turned to Sevastopol. The torpedo boat
is manned exclusively by officers who
were supposed to be loyal to the govern
ment. The delay in the warship in
getting back to port was caused by the
fact that the engines we're damaged.
This is regarded as significant and in the
general opinion shows that the spirit OF
revolution prevails among the officers Of
the navy to as great an extent as it does
among the sailors.
The attorney general at Nishni Nov
gorod has obtained definite proofs that
the police participated in the massacres
that occurred there. The trouble has
not yet been settled as roughs continue to
harrass the people. The mayor of the
town has been summoned to st. Peters
burg to make a report in regard to the
riots to the Minister of the Interior.
Peasants in the government are pill
laying the estates OF land owners. 1t is
estimated that they have carried away or
destroyed 100, 900 pounds of stores in
the last few days. Peasants in the viii
lagos near Bialystok have likewise been
engaging in attacks upon the land own
ers. They have threatened the proprie-
tors of the large estate with death il
their demands for money are not complied
with.
Moscow, Aug. THE strike move
meut is spreading and many additional
workmen are now participating in the
attempt to make the strike genuine. So
far quiet has prevailed.
St. Petersburg, Aug. IA special
inquiry has been ordered to establish the
status of the members of the various
Zemstvo congresses which have been
held. The purpose of the inquiry is ia
determine whether those who participate
in these meetings can be held for pOliti-
cal crime. Prince Dolgorukof, who or
ganized the last Zemstvo congress, has
been summoned to confer with tie Min
lister of the Interior on this subject.
Warsaw, Poland, Aug. Over
thirty police officers have been assasinat-
ed here during the month of July. Some
of the policemen were shot while Others
were stabbed to death. The assasina-
tions followed the passing Of the death
sentence upon some Of the officers by the
revolutionary committee. The latest
victim of the revolutiOnists is Lieut..
Michaelowsky, who was shot at Sedlez,
in Russian Poland because he was ac-
tive in having Polish 'revolutiouists pun
ished.

Paterson's Missing MayOr.

Paterson, n. j., Aug. THE police
today sent out 1000 circulars showing a
picture of VIM. *. Belcher, Mayor of
Paterson, who is wanted here to answer
for his alleged rObheries and forgeries,
to the principal cities of this country
and Europe. A full description of the
much wanted man accompanied the pic
lures. People here generally are COM
ing to the opinion that the absent Mayor
has gone to Europe. If all the stories
which can be heard now in regard to
Belcher are true he must have secured
an enormous sum of money. Nearly
every man on the street makes the claim
that he was one of Belcher's victims.
and had made a loan to the missing
Mayor. The number of men who say
they were victimized would reach into
The thousands. Action will probably
be taken tonight at the meeting of the
Board of Alderman to depose the May
or, and to offer reward for his ap-
nrehension

Mother in a PltfuI Plight.

Chicago, Ill.,, August Poverty and
misfortune forced Mrs. PhIomons Moscha
to surrender to a charitable institution
one of her baby twins. She could not
support both but felt she might care for
one. When it came to deciding which
she should relinquish the condition of
the woman was pitiful. First she would
kiss Que goodbye, only to snatch it back
and surrender the other. Finally she
gave the care of the boy into the hands
of the county aud departed with the
three-weeks-old baby girl. Later she
returned and desired to exchange the
babies, but was ordered away.

new role at Oyster Bay yesterday when
he delivered a sermon before the Chris
tian Brotherhood. About two hundred
people were present The President read
from the Sermon on the Mount, scenes

epistle to the Corinthians, concerning
charity Cove), and from the epistle of
james: "Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this, to
visit the fatheIless and widows in their
affliction, and to keep himself unspotted
from the world" The speaker made
practical remarks on each of his selec-
tons and he was listened to with close
attention. His last excerpt appeals to
the common sense of all Bible readers.
There are some who, in an transformations
manner, endeavor to carry it out to the

Peace ENJOYS.

P ortsmouth, n. H., Aug. IA sur
prise has been sprung by the State De
partment in ordering that the Russian
ENJOYS shall be given the precedence
over the japanese upon their arrival
here. 1t had been the intention of Coy
ernor McLane and Admiral Meade,
after the question Of precedence had
been decided by President Roosevelt, to
receive the japanese peace ENJOYS first,
and the "kicking over the traces" by
the State Department, as-it is termed,
came as a decided surprise. The depart
ment claims that a country having an
Ambassador in this county should be
ranked ahead of one represented only by
minister. Much disappointment is ex-
pressed over The failure Of the ENJOYS to
arrive today. All preparations for their
reception had been completed, but these
will 90 over ill tomorrow, when the pro-
gramme as mapped out for today will be
carried out. Word was received here
early this morning that the May hower and
Galveston had left Newpor! and would
arrive here some time tomorrow morn
ing. Just when NJ. White will arrive
is not known. He is not expected, hows
ever, before late afternoon or early
evening.

Mayhower aud dispatch boat Dolphin

tentiaries, conveyed by the cruiser Gal
weston, left Newport harbor at So'clock
this morning for Portsmouth expecting

Paris, Aug. THE correspondent OF
the Publishers Press is able to state
that France has not received the slightest
intimation from either Russia or Japan
as to the turn which the peace negoti-
alions are likely to take. According to
the information at hand here both gov
ernmeuts appear to be in the dark, and,
like France, to be anxiOusly awaiting
the outcome of the first official meeting
of the ENJOYS at Portsmouth.

Fight al Camp Meeting.

Two murders aud the wounding Of
more than twenty men resulted from
"Big Sunday" at Friendship camp
meeting, held by the negroes OF Della
ware and the Eastern shore of Maryland
in large grove on the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway, near Smyrna, Del, yes
terday. While frenzied and hyslerical
women and children shrieked, filling the
forest with high-pitched notes of terror,
fifty revolvers cracked out along the
railway, where the linen folks" had
quit shooting crap long enough to shoot
each other. In the dim light Of torches
knives and razors cleaned, and the tally
of injured in the riot emphasizes the me-
gro's propensity for and dexterity with
that form of weapon. Gambling of all
the types known to such gatherings was
in progress along the railway. Fights
were frequent, the ill-feeling being in
tensifed by frequent passing of bottles.

Secretary Shaw Visits President.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Aug. Secretary
of the Treasury Shaw arrived there uE-
expectedly upon a forenoon train from
New York and went out to Sycamore
Hill in a hired livery rig. 1t is under
stood that the secretary has come to talk
with the President, among other things,
about the yellow fever situation in New
Orleans. The marine hospital service,
which has taken hold of the work OF
sanitation, disinfection and quarantine
on behalf of the government, is under
the jurisdiction Of the Treasury Depart
ment. 1t is believed that the secretary
comes to discuss the problem Of provid-
ing funds for the work, as the con
gressional appropriation made for the
marine hospital service will be inadequate
to pay the sudden extraordinary ex-
peuses incurred.

Ground 10 Pieces.

A peculiar noise from a Stag mixing
at the Montello Brick Company's works,
Perki1men, Pa, Saturday, led to an in-
vestigatiOn, which revealed the fact that
the machine was grinding to powder
the bones of Howard Yocum, of Raj
ms Station, aged 80, the man who
a short time before was operating it.
How Yocum happened to fall into the
slag-mixing pit is a mystery, as he was
alone at the time, His body was liter
ally ground to pieces, kneaded and
mixed with the red clay of which the
bricks were being made. Nothing but
one of the unfortunate mans little
fingers could be found. Yocum was
married and had two children.
