RUSSIA HAD NO CHOICE.
Execution of Mutineers and Sinking
of Warship Necessary.

St Petersburg, July Enquiry at the
admiralty this morning failed to con-
firm the report current late last night
that the kniaz Potemkine had already
left Theodosia. Admiral Wirenius, chief
of the naval staff, informed the Asso-
ciated Press that according to the lat
est advices the battleship is still at
Theodosia.
What will be done?" asked the cor
respondent.
We cannot tell you" was the reply.
The whole affair is in the hands OF
Vice Admiral Chouknin, and he has not
communicated his plans TO us. Admiral
kruger's ships were due to leave Odes-
sa yesterday afternoon. They should
now be arriving at Sevastopol.

grave. The ship Is not in the hands
OF her crew, but in the hands or the

Admiral Wirenius said there was no
truth in the report from Vienna that
400 Russian sailors had destroyed a
cruiser and sought refuge on board a

No Russian cruiser, the admiral add
ed, has been destroyed so far as he
was aware.

ALARMING NEWS.

Whole Crimean Peninsula on Verge
of Revolt.
St Petersburg July 6.-Such news as
came from the Black sea and Caucasus
during the day was extremely alarming.
The whole Crimean peninsula is on the
verge of revolt, and anarchy regins in
the mountains of the Caucasus from
Batoum to Baku.
At TheodoSia the workTnen are back
ing the mutineers. The crews OF sew
eral ships I'm the harbor have joined the
mutineerS and the well-to-do class Of
the population has fed in panic. The
guns of the Kniaz Potemkine are
trained on the city and bombardment
is momentarily expected.
only six hours away, on the other
side of the peninsula, Admiral Chouk-
nin's fleet which includes six warshiPs,
not counting Rear Admiral kruger'S
squadron. lies at anchor under the
menace Of the guns of the fortress.
Chouknin evidently is afraid to test
the loyalty of his crews by setting
them to the task of capturing the mu-
tinccrs' ship.
Manned by Volunteers.
According to reports current in St
Petersburg. four torpedo boats. with
volunteers on board. have sailed for
Theodosia to sink the Kniaz POtemkine

cate cause for alarm so far as he per-
sonally is concerned, but is probably
due to the censorship. However. il
tends to confirm the extreme gravity
of the situation.

New Security.
DEVLIN is ON THE OLD ONE
RECENT FAILURE MAKES ACTION
IMPERATIVE.

Topeka. kan. July Ex-Governor Hoch
fixed the new bond TO be given by
State Treasurer Kelly at $3.50 600, and
also asked Kelly to give bond of $780,
coo to repair the old bond which Kelly
gave last winter.
This action was taken by the COVER
nor after "a consultation with the at
torney general which lasted the greater
part Of the afternoon. The law places
the matter entirely i'm the hands Of
the governor and he considered IL OF too
great Importance to put off until a
meeting Of the executive council could
be held.
Governor Hoch said that Kelly would
have until July 20 to give the new bond
OF $750.000. and that the bond of $780,
OOo 10 repair the old bond must be given
Immediately.
Security No Good.
Governor HOch said he thought it is
no more than just that Kelly should
repair &c old bond at once. because as
the mattet<stood the state did not have
ample security For its money. The
old bond is not good one and the de-
niaHd that Kelly give a new one, is rea-
SGiiabie.' said the governor.
Suppose that Kelly refuses TO give
II bond of $500. 600 to take the place Of
the old bond, what would be done?''

II cannot suppose such a case" an
SWcrcd the governor. Kelly knows the
bond is not good and that the state
must he protected. I believe that he
is required TO do this and / think the
requirement is just
KelIy's Position.
Treasurer Kelly w.cId not talk about
the matter after being notified that the
governor would require new bond of
$3.50 coo and also a bond to replace the
old bond. Before the action was taken
by the governor Kelly said;
y am perfectly willing to give
bond under the new law and will do so
when Governor Hoch decides Oh the
amount and notifies me. The law
leaves the matter with him as to the
amount. When he complies with the

bodies OF their enemies behind them.
1t is asserted that a Russian or O

the country without an escort as the
race feeling is breaking loose in pas

The overthrow of the Russian ad-
ministration is not alone the work of
the peasants The school teachers of
the Pernau district met and decided to
teach the Esthonian language in the
schools while heretofore only Russian
has been taught, to destroy all text
books in Russian and to reduce the
number of hours of religious instruc-
ton. They also resolved to teach Rus
sian as one of the branches of study.
The diet of the Livonian mobiles was
in session when the present disorders
began and the mobiles adjourned on ac-
count of the uprising. But before do
ing so they sent a memorial to the min
lister of the interior in which they de-
scribed the murders and devastation OF
the revolutionists, expressed fear OF a
terrific civil war and asked that the
government abolish martial law, as its
enforcement could not repair the dam
age done.
The mobiles also urged the government
to act energetcally against the revolu-
tionists, as otherwise a valuable part
of the empire would be ruined.
The Esthonians demand that the gov
ernment abolish martial law, withdraw
the troops from the province, abrogate
the privileges of the nobility, partition
the government lands among the
peasants, make land rents illegal and
rule the country through the elected
representative assemblies.

ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE
OF PRESIDENT REYES
PROM lNENT MEN IN BoGoTA
ARRESTED
Among the Suspects Are Former
Minister of Cabinet and Five
Leaders of the opposition--At-
tack Causes Surprise
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-The state
department has received information by
cable that an attempt was made in
Bogota yesterday to dispose of Presi-
dent Reyes, as an incident to a plot
for overturning the government. In
consequence there were many arrests
of prominent men who are to be tried
by court-martial today. Among them
were a former minister of the cabinet
and five leaders of the opposition. No
details are given of the reasons for
the attempt upon Gen. Reyes.
The officials at the Colombian lega-
tion tonight express surprise at the
news from Bogota, as they state it is
the first intimation they have had that
there is any feeling against Reyes.
Mr.. Triana, the secretary of the lega-
ton, who is in charge of the affairs in
the absence of Minister Mendoza, who
is in New York, said tonight:
II am at a loss to understand the
reasons for any plot against President
Reyes. He is extremely popular and
during his administration as president
has made every effort to appease the
members of all the political elements
in the country. There is practically
only one party in Colombia now, though
of course there will always develop ele-
ments of opposition in all governments.
The constitutional convention held some
time ago made provision whereby Gen.
Reyes was to hold the Office of presi-
dent for a period of ten years, after
which it was to be filled by the incum-
bent for period of four years as in
the United States.
Any revolutionary movement against
Gen. Reyes has no prospect of success.
OF this | am confident. The presi-
dent is very popular with the army
and although the soldiers are engaged
in work on the public roads they al
ways are within reach SO that they can
be called in an emergency.
II had letters today from both Presi-
dent Reyes and the minister of foreign
affairs and there was nothing in them
to indicate Evidences of dissatisfaction
with the government or the formation
of any plot to overthrow it,"

Gently captured by them. The trenches
were taken by storm, both sides losing
heavily.
The latest information from Kharkoff
says that 10000 revolutionaries are un-
der arms and troops are being concen-
trated for the purpose of recapturins
the city.
The strike started here at noon very
tamely. In the center Of the city the
shops were not closed, the proprietors
having received guarantees that II
they remained open they would be
given ample protection and that any
deputation of strikers seeking by
threats to force them TO close their
shops would be Immediately arrested.
There was, however, a demonstration
in the industrial section.
The main interest in the strike of the
railroad workmen centered in the War
saw section, where the government
was to make a test of its ability by
moving a train for Berlin. The sta
tion was packed with troops. Promptly
at noon there was a wild hurrah, ac-
companied by the roar of escaping
steam, and a few minutes later the
railroad men walked out of the yards
in a body. The authorities, however,

ten minutes a locomotive manned by
soldiers of a railroad battalion backed
into the station and was coupled to
the waiting train, which was crowded
with people seeking to depart from the
unhappy country Lines of soldiers
with fixed bayonets flanked the train,
and an official with four soldiers en-
tered the carriages and thoroughly
searched them in order to ascertain
If suspicious persons were on board.
AS the official and his escort left
the train a signal was given and twen-
ty soldiers entered the baggage cars,
while another detachment was scat
tered throughout the carriages. The
train then pulled out. An extra car,
loaded with wreclSng apparatus, was
attached to the train to be used in
case of accidents between stations. The
usual mail car was missing. At other
stations similar precautions will be
taken. In the manufacturing districts
beyond the Warsaw and Narva gates,
in the Schlusselberg district, and in the
directions on both sides of the NeVa,
the workmen generally obeyed the sum-
mons to strike, and promptly at IL
o'clock thousands of them emerged to
the street. Police Cossacks, soldiers
of the guard regiments and other pa
trolls were everywhere but so far as
reported, no collision marked the in
auguration of the strike. The work.
men seemed very quiet but determined.
The men of each factory selected in
advance a certain number to act as
pickets for the purpose of preventing
any attempt to introduce strike break
ers into the factories.

SUCCESSOR TO
MITCHELL SEATED
SENATE ADJoURNS UNTIL IAN
UARY q
Greater Part Of Days Session Is De-
voted to Consideration Of Gree
dentlaIs of Mr.. Gearn
Of Oregon
Bv Associafed Press.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-After a
session of little more than an hours
duration the senate today adjourned
until January 4. Only about half the
session was legislative in character,
and the greater part of that time was
devoted to a discussion of the regular
ity Of the credentials of Mr.. Gearin,
who succeeds Mr.. Mitchell as senator
from Oregon. The credentials were ac-
cepted and Mr.. Gearin was sworn in.
John M. Gearin, the newly appointed
senator from Oregon, was present in
the senate chamber today when the
senate convened. His credentials were
presented by his colleague, but before
he took the oath of office Mr. Bur-
lows, chairman of the committee on
elections, interposed an objection, say
ing that the certificate of election was
defective in that it was provided that
Mr.. Gearin shall serve until his sue
cessor Is elected"
Mr.. Burrows said that the governor
had no constitutional right to place
such a restriction upon the appoint
ment. He, however, withdrew the OBJ
lection after Mr.. Spooner and Mr.. Tel
Ter had suggested that the certificate
is not without precedent.
Mr. Spooner agreed that the words
objected to were surplusage, but point
ed out that they do not invaidate the
appointment, which, he said, was regu-
lar in other respects.
Mr.. Gearin was then escorted by Mr..
Fulton to the vice presidents desk,
where the oath of office was adminis-
tered.
Mr.. Gearin took seat on the Demo-
cratic side of the chamber.
He is the first Democrat to occupy a
seat in the senate from Oregon since
1887, when Mr.. Slater retired from that
body.
The bill extending for one year the
time allowed the Council City and
Solomon River company of Alaska for
the completion of it's line was passed.
AT 1880 p. m. the senate went into
executive session and at LILO D. m.
