Delivery Demanded at Russian Bastile.
At Schusselburg fortress, located on
an island in the Neva river, twenty
miles from st. Petersburg, the garrison
is in mutiny. The soldiers demand the
release of all political prisoners incar-
cerated in the fortress, and threaten
to take the place by storm unless their
demands are granted. "
Schusselburg fortress for the last
nineteen years has been Russia g tor
ture house for political prisoners, and it
is frequently compared to the French
Bastile. Many Of the dungeons are
| below the highwater mark of the Neva,
and the cells are flooded at hightide and
the prisoners half drowned. Many per-
sons have been driven insane thru their
sufferings in this prison. f..
A few persons were released from the
fortress under the cars amnesty proc.
lamation, but they were men who had
been incarcerated for fifteen years, and
who are SO broken in health and spirits
that they could not now become dan
gerous conspirators. Then men feared
by the government are still held in the
fortress. The soldiers are now demand,
ing that they be freed or, they declare
they will set the prisoners at liberty
themselves. One Of these prisoners is

Fresh trouble is threatened in the
provinces as the result of the stand
taken by General Maximovitch, forme,
governor general Of Warsaw, who has
been named as the successor Of Gen
eral Sakharoff to quell the peasants
uprisings. The first act was to issue ar
order to the Cossacks under his com
mand, in which he said:
!sDo not use your knouts upon the
malcontents, but shoot whenever yor
meet with the slightest opposition. Show
. the rebel dogs that you are moi
economical of cartridges. The more
political malcontents you kill, the higher
will be the czar's estimate Of your serv
ices. Take. care that your actions ere
ate a good impression on the govern
ment. -
: There are $4,000 armed peasants i,
the district to which General Maxine
witch has been assigned, and they ar,
greatly aroused over his order to tn,
troops. Unless the car countermand
!, the instructions given to the Cossacks
$ there is certain to be much bloodshed

SENATORS PLEAD FOR
THE FIGHTING M|DD|y:
Meriwether Believed to = Have

Washington Dec. 9.-Senators Nc
Enerny and Foster and the members Of
the Louisiana congressional delegation
called on President Roosevelt today and
made plea for Midshipman Meriweth-
er, who was court-martialed on charge
of manslaughter growing out Of the
death Of Midshipman Branch after a
prize fight at the naval academy.
The delegation urged the president
to deal leniently with Meriwether and
not permit him to be expelled from the
academy. They took the ground that
there was no other course open to Mer-
iwether than to fight Branch; that con-
tests in the ring have been conducted in
the academy for years, and it would be
unjust to Meriwether to expel him
from the academy and make him vic
tim. Of the system prevailing there.
President Roosevelt told the members
of the delegation that he had not yet
been advised of the findings of the
court-martial, but that when the case
reached him for review he would give
it careful consideration.
It is generally believed Meriwethe1
was acquitted of the charge of man.

ATTORNEY JAMES CHARGES
LIBEL
Editor Accused Of Injuring the Goos
Name Of Plaintiff to Prevent
His Appointment as
Commissioner

fifty thousand dollar suit for libel
was filed yesterday in the superior
court by Attorney Frank James
against the Evening Express and Sam
uel T. Clover.
In his complaint James sets forth
the fact that for more than eighteen
years past he has been engaged in the
practice of law, and that as an attor-
ney he Is man of good name and
credit.
The suit grows out of an article pub
lished in the Evening Express on De-
cember 20 wherein the attorneys name
is connected with an alleged bribery
in which a number of officials are
charged with having participated.
The complaint asserts that since De-
cember last, Owen McAleer has been
the mayor-elect of Los Angeles, and
that among his powers as mayor is
that Of appointing a police commission,
consisting of five persons.
James asserts that prior to the COM
mission by defendants of the griev-
ances mentioned in the complaint, the
mayor-elect had requested him to ac-
cept an appointment as one of the po-
lice commissioners, and that on jan
uary 2, intended to appoint him as a
member of the commission.
James says that his livelihood has
always depended upon his good repu-
tation and integrity, and in the per-
SOnal trust repoSed in him by his
clients.
Says Good Name Is Injured
The complaint says that for the pur-
pose Of injuring the good name of the
plaintif, his reputation and business
and for the purpose of causing Owen
McAleer to believe that he was cor
rupt and dishonest person, bribe CIV
e. and extortionist, and wholly unfit
for the office of police commissioner,
and also for the purpose of securing
in place of the defendant the ap-
pointment of some other person who
was the personal friend of the defend
ants, the defendant Samuel T. Glover
wilfully, falsely and maliciously COM
posed for publication in the columns
of the Evening Express, an article
derogatory to his character.
James says that >the article COM
planned of charges him with eXtortion
and corruption, whereby his good name
and reputation as an attorney has
been injured, to his damage in the
sum Of $4,000.

WOMAN FRENz|EO
BY Loss OF BABE
RAVES WHEN SHE LEARNS HER
CHILD Is GONE
Mother Seeks Aid of the Police in
Finding Her Little One and the
Man Whom She
duplicates

Crazed with grief and sobbing as
woman, neatly dressed, appeared at the
police station yesterday morning and
told Desk Sergeant Dixon that her hus-
band had taken her baby girl from her.
She was Immediately sent to Captain
Auble and a few moments later left
his office and started west on First
street AS she neared her home on
Olive street her grief became greater,
and at times she fairly staggered as
she called aloud upon heaven to help
her in her misery.
A number of business men and early
shoppers followed the hysterical wom-
an to her home at 121 North Olive
street, and she dashed up the steps
and entered the house. A small crowd
collected, and the cries of "Rose, Rose,
oh, want my baby!" startled the
neighborhood.
The woman was said to be Mrs. May
Cameron, an employe in the pastry
room at the Natick hotel. Yesterday
morning, according to the story Of the
neighbors, tall man, wearing heavy
rain coat, went to the woman's room,
and after entering the house returned
in few minutes with the child in his
arms. The little girl Rose is pretty
child of or years of age, and she
went with the man without any ap-
parent objection.
A short time afterward Mrs. Cam
eron was called up at her work and
told that her husband had taken the
child with him. She Immediately
dropped her work and went to her
home in a frenzy of despair, and, learn
ing that the little girl had been taken
away, hurried to the police station for
aid.
After leaving her home the woman
started east on First street, crying and
sobbing as she went. finally reaching
the Sterling lodging house, where an
other outburst of weeping attracted
a large number of persons to the house.
Tt is said that the couple have been
separated for some time and that a
suit for divorce is being prepared.

STRANGER THAN FICTION
A Remedy Which Has RevoIutionizsd
the Treatment Of Stomach
Troubles

The remedy Is not heraIded a. a
wonderful discovery nor yet sacred
patent medicine, neither is It claimed
to cure anything except dyspepsia, in-
digestion and stomach troubles with
which nine out Of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form Of pleas
ant tasting tablets or lozenges, con-
tanning vegetable and fruit essences,
pure aseptic pepsin Government tesD,
golden seal and diastase. The tablets
are sold by druggists under the name
Of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. Many
interesting experiments to test the d.
gestlve power of Stuart's tablets show
that one grain Of the active principle
contained in them is sufficient to thor
oughly digest 5000 grains of raw meat,
eggs and other wholesome food.
Stuarts Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after-dinner pills and
cheap cathartics, which simply irri-
tate and inhame the intestines with
out having any effect whatever In di-
gesting food or curing indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion It will
very soon recover its normal vigor, as
no organ is so much abused and over
worked as the stomach.
This is the secret, IL there Is any Sc
cret, of the remarkable success Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy
practically unknown a few years ago
and now the most widely known OF
any treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured en-
tirely upon its merits as a digestive
pure and simple because there can be
no stomach trouble IL the food is
promptly digested.
Sturart's Dyspepsia Tablets sct en-
tirely on the food eaten digesting it
completely, so that 1t can be assimil-
ated into blood, nerve and tissue. They
cure dyspepsia, water brash, sour
stomach, gas and bloating after meals,
because they furnish the digestive
power which weak stomachs lack and
unless that lack is supplied 1t is USE
less to attempt to cure by the use of
"topics," pills and cathartics which
have absolutely no digestive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores and the reg
ular use of one or two of them after
meals will demonstrate their merit
better than any other argument.
