IN CAUCASUS
Armenians Are Said to
Have Set Up a Form of
Provisional Government

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 23.-Ac-
cording to mail reports received from
Batoum, racial disorders in the eau
casus have developed into actual revo-
luton in the cities of Batoum, Patti
and Kutais, at the eastern end of the
Black Sea, under the lead of the
Armenians, who have set up a form of
provisional government.
Telegraphic communication has been
cut for several days, and il is impos-
sible TO secure direct confirmation of
these reports, but according to one let
ter the Armenian faction a few days
ago succeeded in making prisoners of
most of the officials and shutting up
the officers and some of the troops in
the barracks and, aided to some extent
by reservists, in taking the reins of
government into its own hands.
The authorities here and others
familiar with conditions in Caucasus
do not attach great Importance to
these reports. however, as this region
is in continual state of turmoil, and
If it is true that Armenians have sue
ceeded in temporarily establishing
themselves in the towns named, it is no
indication of a general revolutionary
movement, but simply another mani
festation of racial feeling between
Armenians and Tartars.

SAVES HIS NECK
Montana Lawyer Digs Up
Body and Proves Client Did
Not Shoot From Behind
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LEWISTON, Mont. Feb. "a
Friends of Milton o. Howell, who was
sentenced in 1898 to be hanged for
the murder of Thomas Rolling, which
sentence was afterward commuted to
life Imprisonment, are circulating a
petition asking Governor Toole to
pardon him. and scores of signatures
are being obtained. This was
cause celebre'' in Montana.
The principals in the tragedy were
neighboring stockmen and the killing
was the result of quarrel, during
which blows were struck. After the
murder Howell fed to Canada, but
was captured and brought back.
The prosecution contended he
killed his man in cold blood by shoot
ing him from behind. This point was
bitterly contested by the defense and
an effort made to have the body of
Rozling exhumed in order to deter
mine it. but the court would not or
der it to be done. After the convic
ton and while Howell was under SEN
tence of death w. E. Court, his at
torney. himself dug up Rozling's body
without any authority, secured the
head and hurried off to Helena with
it. According to the statement of

exhibit was shown to Governor Toole
and the death sentence was com-
muted.

friends, and threats of having him in
dicted were made, but never carried
out. 1t is upon the evidence supplied
by the head that the petition for ex-
ecutive clemency is now based, and
general belief is that Howell will Sc

DIRT IS FLYING
ON The ISTHMUS
Substantial Progress Is Be-
ing Made in Work of Dig
ging the Panama Canal

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Reports of
substantial progress in the actual work
of digging the great isthmian canal
were brought to this city to-day by
Canal Commissioners William Barclay
Parsons and w. H. Burr, who arrived
on the steamer Allianca from Colon.
Professor Burr made the subjoined
statement:
The COMMITTEES on engineering of the
Isthmian Canal Commission report that they
found the work generally in much better and
more advanced condition than they anticipated.
In the great Culebra cut the detail of con-
struction that will take the most time and
most money, the chief engineer has installed
and has at work three large American steam
shovels and is erecting five Four thou
sand laborers are now at work on different
portions of the work and 1000 more have
already been engaged in the West Indies and
Central America Substantial progress is
therefore being made
While on the isthmus the commission was
in daily conference with the chief engineer
with the view of formulating certain plans,
contracts for which can be let at early
day. These plans and the accompanying data
will be submitted to the commission at Wash
ington -, e,,,.. a. ,o
and water pipes is progressing steadily, so
that in the future both of these cities
will for the first time be furnished with a
inee e''e of = wholesome water. The presence of
yellow fever Is to be regretted, but to
be expected, as this disease is always present
in tropical countries in America, unless con-
tinued sanitary precautions have been taken.
Prior to the sanitary work of the commits
sion no precaution1 or scientific measures have
been taken on the isthmus to guard against
this disease. The same medical officers who
succeeded in eliminating the fever from
Havana are now repeating the crusade in
Panama. Beyond any question equally sue
cessful results will be attained. At the pres
ent time there Is nothing approaching an
epidemic and the conditions are greatly i'm
proved over those of previous years. Some
of the newspaper accounts that have reached
the isthmus from the North were much ex
aggerated.
The commission returned more than satis-
fed with the general conditions OF the enter
prise and believes that completion can be
attained in less time than is popularity sup
voted by the engineering staff to the study
and investigation of certain details not fully
deterrllned by the French. This preliminary
work is now really ended and the actual work
of construction on a large scale can soon
begin.
Mr.. Parsons attention was called
to the investigation of the affairs Of
the Panama Railroad and in the mat
ter of fees said:
These fees are all right; we all got
them Corporations pass them. Ten
dollars is handed each director after
each meeting. They amount to $3.50 to
5000 year.
Judge G. F. Little, who will defend
a lottery company's right to sell lot
terry tickets in the canal zone, also
arrived on the Allianca. The case is
on appeal to the Supreme Court Of the
United States.

BABY THROW
INTO FURNACE
Rochester Engineer, at Point
of Pistol, Forced to Witness
Cremation of Small Child

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Feb. 22.-G.
w. McCaffery, engineer in charge of
an eighteen-horsepower boiler in a
building on Furnace street used to
heat several business places, has in
formed the police that about o'clock
last Tuesday morning two men and a
woman entered the boiler-room and
while one man covered him with a
brace of reyolvers the other threw a
package into the firepot on the redhot
Goals.
The woman uttered a shrek as he
did so, and one of the men threat
ened her life also. McCaffery says he
heard the scream of a baby as the
package struck the fire. The men
waited several minutes and then
opened the furnace door again and
raked the bundle about on the Goals.
Before leaving the men threatened
to kill McCaffery if he ever revealed
word of the matter. McCaffery kept
silent until it preyed on his conscience
to such an extent he could keep quiet
no longer. He says he has been un-
able to eat or sleep and he is appar-
emily in very nervous state. All
three of the party were so disguised
that he could not give a good descrip-
ton of them.
