MUTINEERS DEFEATED.
Russian Soldiers Fight Mutinous Sail
ors at Sebastopol.

Sebastopol, according to a st. Pc
tersburg dispatch, was on Wednesday
the scene of desperate battle between
mutinouS sailors in the WarShipS, and
he troops in the forts on shore.
During the battle the town and the
forts were bombarded by the guns of
the cruiser Otchakoff which now lies
a burning wreck off Admiralty point,
its hull riddled with shells and its
fiaun;ing red ensign of revolution
hauled down.
Many of the crew of the Otchakoff
were killed or wounded. According to
one report the barracks of the mutt
neers vas carried by storm after the
mutinous fleet, which is said to have
Numbered 10 vessels, had surrendered,
and the whole position is now il the
hands of the troops under the COM
mand of Gen. Neplueff. The Associ-
ated Press, however, is unable 10
guarantee. the correctness of this re-
port.
Owing TO the interruption of the tele-
graph details of the battle are difficult
to obtain but as the Associated Press
is authorita;ive!y informed by the
naval general staff tonight, the battle
was begun by the troops on shore, who
opened fire on the Otchakoff, which
was defiantly displaying the red flag.
The commander of the Otchakon.
Lieut.. Schmidt, Immediately accepted
tn challenge. replying with both bat
teries, one trained on the town and
the other on the Fort Alexander bat
t ries. on the north shore.
Capt. Zi,otti aide-d camp TO Admi-
raj Wirenius. chief of the naval gen.
eral staff. informed the Associated
Press that the latest dispatches re-
ceived from SebastOpOl showed that
the Otchakoff was on fire and badly
riddled. with it's revolutionary colors
hauled down, but he was unable to
give more definite information.
According to a more detailed report
from another source and purporting to
come from the admiralty the battle
began at o'clock this afternoon, when
Lieut.. Schmidt, not receiving a reply 20
the demands of the mutineers, opened
fire from fleet of 10 ships, to which
the northern batteries at Fort AleXan-
der. artillery posted on the shore and
several vessels which remained loyal
replied.
During the naval battle the sailors

Says a Duluth. Minn.. dispatch OF
Nov %: In one Of the most terrifie
gales in the history Of Wisconsin or
he Great Lakes, even surprising In
fury the terrible storm Of last Sep
tember in which so many men lost
their lives in the vicinity Of the Apos-
tie islands, three big lake steamers
were today driven ashore within sight
of the lighthouse Of the Duluth en-
trance to the local harbor, and seve-
raj members of the crew Of one Of the
boats, the Mataafa, are believed to
have perished. The wrecks are the
Crescent City and the Mataafa of the
Pittsburg Steamship company and the
r. w. England. owned by the Eng
land Transportation company OF
Cleveland. AS soon as the interrupted
telegraphic communication with other
lake ports is resumed 1t is expected
that further reports Of wrecks Will
be received, for the storm is thought
to have been a record breaking one.
For Is consecutive houiS, ue'"eoh -
o'clock Monday night and IL o'clock
today, the velocity Of the wind aver
aged so miles an hour and at times
blew at the rate OF 70 miles an hour.
The Mataafa is being slowly pounded
to pieces. The crew OF the Crescent
City escaped. but the boat is a total
wreck. Capt. r. w. England is the
only man who left the England. The
vessel is lying on the sand and Is in
no danger of going to pieces. The
captain was taken off by the life-sav-
ing crew with the help Of a breeches
buoy. The sailors will remain on the
boat until tomorrow. Unless the wind
abates before morning the Mataafa
will be a total loss.

on the shore entrenched In the bar
racks defended their position with ma
chine guns and rifles against the at
lacking infantry. After an engage
ment lasting two and half hours
with tn: Otchakoff riddled and on fire
and the cruiser Dnieper and another
vessel sunk, Lieut.. Schmidt, who had
be en- badly wounded surrendered the
entire squadron. The mutinous sail
ors on shore surrendered to the Brest
and Bielostok regiments.
According to this report the Pante-
lemon, formerly the Kniaz Potemkine,
was injured below the water line and
a torpedo boat Is ashore on the rocks
No details of the casualties or OF the
damage suffered by the town are OBJ
tainable by the admiralty. but owing
to the confined space In which the
action was fought 1t is improbable that
the town escaped without heavy dam
age.
The demands Of the mutineers are
said to have included, besides the 10
proposals dealing with service condi-
tions, the convocation Of constlt- L
ue-t assembly and the complete reaii-
cation of the liberties promised by the
imperial manifesto.

can be said for him.

THE FIGHT Of THE COTTON GRowEF

THE FIGHT Of THE COTTON GROWERS
-"Everything is moving along with
entire satisfaction and 1t looks as II
we were going to win in our effort tc
tie up the most of the balance OF the
crop" Thus writes President Harvie
Jordan Of the Southern Cotton Grow
ers' association to a leading spot man
of New Orleans, after some ten days
of active campaigning for the pur-
pose of tying up 100000 bales OF
cotton and inducing the growers 10
hold for Is cents. The upward ten
dency OF the staple since then, aug
mented by the ginners' report and
the fact that a powerful speculative
eleme [. acting independently, Is con-
ducive to the belief that the southern
Cotton association will accomplish lts
aim.
Mr.. Jordan has made 1t perfectly
and forcefully clear, however, that the
speculative side has nothing to do
with the movement, further than nat
ural coincidence and the president OF
the Southern Cotton Growers associ-
alton declares that neither he nor tha
association will have anything TO DO
with the spectators.
Mr.. Jordan states that the asso"l-
alton will Immediately send out
blank pledges to all who will write Tor
them to Atlanta headquarters.-NeW

GOVERNMENT MAY
 ASSUME CONTROL
CHIEF WEIR F IN FAVOR OF TURNING OVER TO FEDERAL AUTHORITIES THE BUREAU OF IDENTIFICATION.

A the recent meeting of the Chiefs of Police association held in Washington the matter of turning over to the United States government the identification plant owned and maintained by the association came up for discussion at length. Chief of Police W. E. Wier of Birmingham. who attended the convention, is in favor of the proposition, and will east his vote to this end when the matter come up for final settlement.
 Tn my opinion 1t would be q great thing for the government to maintain the bureau," said Chief Wier yesterday. At present the plant is Ike ot up by sub scrlptions from the different police de- partments of the United States, who be- long to the association. Birmingham has never subscribed towards the fund which would amount to about $25 annually.
 ''rhe association employs several men at the bureau which is In Washington, and full information can be secured al- most any time concerning criminals. There is some opposition to allowing the government to take the matter in hand. but in my opinion those in favor of the project will win out finally"

RAILROAD WORLD.

circular has been issued by M. ". Richards. land and industrial agent of the Southern railway, announcing the ap- pontment of H. D. Waernicke as assist ant land and industrial agent, with head quarters in Washington.
 The following circular has been issued from the office of the general manager of the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City railroad:
 w. l.. O'Dwyer is hereby appointed gen. eral freight and passenger agent, with headquarters at Leinkauf building, Mo- ble vice L. B. Sullivan, deceased, effec- tive June l. 1905.
 The Boston Transcript says that there is noticeable change in the attitude of the general public toward the question of government control of railway rates, particularly in the south. It says:
 "The feature that appeals most to southerners is the danger to their section from any approximation of rates to mileage basis, particularly in the move ment of cotton. They realize that the next few years may see bitter struggle
 
 petition with. the new sources of supply that the British colonies are developing and over which British opinion is now so optimistic. America is more dependent on it's exports of cotton than on those of any other crop, and if anything should break this supremacy abroad the south would be severely injured. One great ad- vantage which the south today has over possible cotton areas in East Africa and India Is in cheap transportation to the coast shipping points, The American railroads, controlling their own rates in such a struggle for the export market as seems possible, would haul cotton from the uplands at rates which would keep our cotton growing area intact in the face of severe competition Added to this con sideration is the fact that there is hardly a prominent southern city that has not been convinced that 1t owes its import ance in some industry to the cheap long hauls afforded by the railroads.
 Boston, and in fact, all New England is an excellent and standing proof of the way in which the southern roads take care of southern interests in the existing rates on cotton goods. which are much lower from the south to New England than from New England to the south"
