Scripps-McRae TELEGRAM.
London, Jan. 30.-British Ambassa-

been instructed to- make an urgent
protest to the Russian government
against the indignity offered in the
attack on the British Consul General
hurry, and ~pro-consul Muchukain,b by
the Cossacks at Warsaw.
PIacards Also Cause Trouble.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 30.-The p
pearance OF ~placards, charging the
British government with melting
the revolution at Leibau and Reval,
have led to additional representations
by the British ambassadors, who to-
day demanded a full apology.
British Officials Attacked.
London, Jan. 30.-The correspondent
at Warsaw of the Daily Mail tele-
graphs as follows: "a group of Hus-
sars ran down British Vice Consul
Muoukain Saturday might in Marshal
Kovtki street. Two Hussars rushed
at him with their swords, inflicting
severe cuts across his face and lower
lip. Dripping with blood Muoukain
was conveyed to the hospital, where
he is now doing we'll. British Consul
General Murray had a narrow escape
from being similarly run down in
Wierzbova street. 1t appears that the
incidents were due to a of
Hussars getting drunk and running
amuck."
The Daily Mails st. Petersburg cor.
respondent reports that Sir Charles
Hardinge, the British ambassador, has
asked the Russian government to make
inquiry into the outrages on the Brit
ish consul general and, vice consul at
Warsaw.
Complete Anarchy.
The same correspondent describes
Warsaw as being in a state of complete
anarchy. MANY have been killed or
wounded in charges by troops, and the
recklessness of swashbuckling Hus-
sars," he says. 1.-THE only c~onveyances
moving in Warsaw have been military
supply carts, ambulance wagons and
tumbrils for the dead. The attempted
rising of workmen has failed, and the
great demonstrations timed for Sum
day has been postponed. After some
fighting the wrecked and distraught
city pauses to see what night will

Qolfax, Ia, Jan. 30.-The Colfax
Mercantile Company store in this city
was badly damaged by fire Sunday af-
ternoon. The loss will reach twenty
thousand dollars on stock and may
90 beyond that figure. The damage
to the building will be about fifteen
hundred to two thousand dollars.
The stock of goods is owned by w.
A. Sewers, of Oskaloosa, who is also
interested in the mines here. The
building is owned by Frank Hooper.
Both losses are covered by insurance
that will about cover the damage
done. -
The fire must have started some
time early Sunday morning and had
been burning some time, possibly a
number of hours, when discovered.

smoke indicated trouble on the in

No blaze was to be seen anywhere

dense cloud of smoke and fumes

count. AS the air got to the seat of
the trouble the flames came like an
explosion. The firemen had a hard
fight and not knowing or not being
able to get the fire located, the en-
tire stock of goods had to be flooded
with water. No system to the fight
against the flames could be adopted
and every part of the stock not other
wise injured was water soaked.
The stock was the largest in Col

and contained practically everything

ware, etc.

struck above the eye by a metal
nozzle and for a time it was thought
that he would lose the sight of the
eye. 1t was all but forced from the
socket. A number of other firemen
were badly cut by falling glass.
Mr.. Sewers was IN Oskaloosa at
the time of the fire, but he was in

ing the train caught him, killing the
man and both horses.
The jury was out about two hours,

verdict awarding the plaintiff $4,000
1t is understood that the company
originally offered $1,000 in settlement
of the claim. The case will be ap-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 15.-Del-
egates from all parts of tthe United
States and Canada were present this
morning at the opening of the second
biennial convention of the Switch
mems Union of North America There
were many important questions before
the convention, and it will probably be
two weeks before it's business is con-
Guided, Chief among the matters to
be discussed and acted upon is the
proposal to increase the death and dis
ability benefits. Concerted action is
also expected on the part of the del
egates for the strict enforcement of
the safety appliance laws, particularly
that part of them relating to the un-
coupling devices, and against the dis
elimination practiced against switch
men seeking work at their vocation be-
cause they are without one or two fin
gers, Or because they are prominent in
organized labor movement.
Protests will also be entered against
the age limit. The question of affiliat-
ing with the American Federation of
Labor will also come up. Last year
the proposition to affiliate was defeat
ed when it was brought before the con-
vention, but this year delegates be-
lieve that it will be adopted.

DEATH OF MRS. NELSON.
Prominent Pioneer Lady of Walla
WaIia Victim of Pneumonia.

Mrs. Julia Nelson, sister of the late
James McInroe and one of Walla
Walla's prominent pioneer women, died
at the family residence, 1913 Whitman
street Saturday afternoon after a
weeks illness of pneumonia. Mrs.
Nelson was 81 years of age and came
to Walla Walla when a young girl,
following her brother James Mc1nroe
from New York across the plains.
That she should succumb to the same
disease as her brother within such
short time is a singular coincidence.
Mrs. Nelson is survived by her nus
band, Cyrus Nelson, three sons, George,
Lawrence and Cyrus, jr., and three
daughters, the Misses Carrie, Laura
and Ruth, all residing in Walla Walla.
The funeral took place from the family
residence at o'clock this afternoon
and was largely attended. Services
were held by Rev. Andreas Bard, rector
of st. PauPs church.

Caleb Valkman, an easterner, was
taken from the west bound North
Coast Limited at Pasco Friday night
in a drunken delirium and placed in
the city Jail where he died Saturday
Valkman was crazy from the effects Of
a drunken spree and created so much
trouble on the train that the trainmen
put him off the train at Pasco. He
was taken in charge by the marshal and
placed in Jail, where he continued his
raving until Saturday evening when
he suddenly expired, presumably of
heart failure. 1t was learned from let
tiers on the man that he has several
brothers in the east and one of these
was communicated with. Instructions
were telegraphed to ship the remains
to Wisconsin and J. W. Cookery yes
terday went to Pasco and embalmed
the body. Valkman was on his way to
the Sound and was we'll supplied with
money.
