Black Hundreds Revenge.

st. Petersburg, Russia.-The liberals
are planning imposing demonstrations
here and at Moscow for the funeral
of the murdered ex-deputy Herzen-
stein. Given the present temper or the
people these demonstrations may re-
suit in collision and bloCdshed such
as marked the interment of Prince
Troubetsld. The liberals have applied
for permission to transport Herzen-
STEMS body in state through st. Pc
tersburg from the Finnish to the Mos
COW railroad station. This has not
yet been granted.
The constitutional democrats as
cribe the murder of Herzenstein to
the "counter-terrorist league other
with the alleged intention OF exacuIig
from the liberal ranks, life for a life
for the victims of the terorists. Her.
zenstein is said to have been selected
in vengeance for the death of Gen.
Koslov of the headquarters staff, who
was murdered in the park at Peter
hof July IA.
Premier StClypin proceeded by yacht
on Aug. l to Peterhof where he laid
before the emperor for his signature
the formal ukases appointing Count
Hayden, Prince Nicholas Lyoff and
Alexander GuchkOff to portfolios in
the reorganized cabinet.
The announcement of the emperor's
decision is not expected before Fri
day, and fears are entertained that the
revolt at Sveaborg may influence him
unfavorably in the matter.

Manila.-Gov Gen. ide has received
reports stating that in the fiscal year
ending on June 30 the importations
OF rice to the Philippines decreased
61,O72, All pounds, valued at $3,0S4,-
1873 in gold.
Commenting on the reports, Gov.
Ide says: From these reports it ap-
pears that the number of pounds of
rice imported into the Philippines
during the fiscal year of 1906 was
something less than three-sevenths OF
the importations in 1901, and the cash
sent out from the islands for rice was
less than four-elevenths of the sum
sent in 1894.
IF the same ratio of decrease con-
tinues for a year, or even a semester,
no more rice will be imported in two
years, and the islands, beside supply
ing the home demand, ought to be eX.
porting rice"
The publication of the report has
caused a controversy. The local ship.
pers contend that the decrease of i'm.
portations is a result of the poverty Of
the people, who it is alleged, are not
buying rice, but are living on yams
and other food. The shippers declare
that the Philippines will never export
rice.

. Block Island r, THE schooner
yacht Amazon ran on to the sunken
dredger Columbia recently at the en-
trance to New Harbor, tore her port
davits and a naptha launch from the
decks, ripped the mainsail in several
places, and but for the timely arrival
of the tug Gallison would have pound
ed on the breakwater.
The Amazon was entering the har'
hor under full sail when she suddenly
dashed on the sunken dredger A
projecting pole ripped off the davits
and a naphtha launch and tore the
mainsail.
During the accident the man at the
wheel got off his course and the craft
was about to pound on the breakwater
when the Gallison, under command Of
Capt. Cole, came to the rescue and
towed the damaged craft safely into
the harbor
The launch belonging to the Anna
zon was picked up later by Capt. Sands
of the North life-saving station, and
towed to the beach. The launch was
so badly damaged that Capt. Sands
believed there had been an explosion
of her engine and it was feared that
the accident had been accompanied
by loss of life
Investigation later, however, show
ed that the launch found by the life
saver at the entrance to the harbor
was the one torn from the deck of
the Amazon by the collision with the
sunken dredge.

Lowell Mass.-Three children, aged
II, : and 4, ~Va-a- ..,ra,.~I r.
ing in Hale's brook Tuesday night by
MRS. rJaImOs,- -GI,,-shan, of PAT Thorndike
street, their mother. Mrs. Sheehan
is under the care of physician, and
although not able to leave her room,
will recover from the effects of her
eXertion.
The home of the Sheehan family is
near the brook. The four-year-old
child fell into the brook and her cries
made her seven-year-old sister go to
her assistance. Mrs. Sheehan injured
her foot while aiding her two younger
children to the shore.
In trying to aid her mother, the old
est daughter lost her balance, but
grabbed her mothers arm. 1t was a
hard struggle for short time for Mrs
Sheehan, but neighbors came to her
assistance and she and the children
were soon safe.

Deputies Taken Off Cars.

Fall River, Mass.-At special
meeting of the local street railway
mems union 5000 was appropriated to
aid the New Bedford strikers. 1t was
voted to request all people to refrain
from riding on the cars of the New
Bedford company while the strike Is
on.
A strong protest was made against
having deputy sheriff run on the cars
of the Dartmouth & Westport line in
this city. There has been no trouble
here and no sign of any, and the fact
that deputies are put on the cars to
run into this city is looked upon as
an insult.
Mayor John T. Coughlin, who is
president OF the union, was delegated
to see Sheriff Evans about this matter
and get those deputies withdrawn, at
least while the cars are on lines in
this city. Mayor Coughlin did this, and
deputy sheriffs have been dismissed.

MYSTERY TOO DEEP.
Maine Coroner's Jury Unable to De-
termlne Cause Of Drowning.

Belfast, Me.-Confessing themselves
utterly at sea in the matter and de-
claring the case even more mystery
than ever before, the coroners jury
impanelled to investigate the death OF
the ill-fated Clara Braley, who met
her death in the waters of the Passa-
gassawaukeag river July % has rem
dered a verdict, drowning by some
means unknown" after lengthy ses-
sion conducted by Coroner Charles
Coombs here.
In verbal statement rendered after
the verdict, Coroner Coombs, In the
most emphatic manner, declared that
the jury had unanimously agreed that
George Trumbull, the young Belfast
man who has been prominently men
toned, should be entirely eliminated
from the case.
This decision was reached only af-
ter young TTumbull, in the face of
raking fire of questions that monopo-
lized a half hour, came through the
ordeal cool and serene, telling in
quiet way a story that won the SYM
pathy and confidence of his hearers.
Aside from the above findings the
more remarkable features of the hear
ing were the testimony of Patrolman
James NickersCn of the Belfast police,
to the effect that Mrs. Clement the
aunt of the dead girl had told him the
Braley girl had talked despondently
to her; the testimony Of Gladys Bat
chelder, the Braley girls closest
friend, who insisted that she believed
her chum had been murdered and that
she couldn't have talked to Mrs. Glenn
ent as above, and the unlocked for
declarations from Trumbull, that he
not only did not know the Braley
girl, but did not even know her name
until after she was reported miss
ing.
Each of these statements created
a surprised sensation and, with others
of almost equal import, all tended to
make the case one of the most baf-
fling that the officials Of Waldo coun-
ty have ever been called upon to
solve.

Committee Finds No Dishonesty.

Vergennes, Vt.-The state investi-
eating committee appointed by the
last legislature to look into the con-
ditions in Vermont public institutions
has completed the examination Of the
affairs Of the state industrial school
here.
The hearing in the library Of the
school was devoid of any develop
ments Of sensational character. F.
S. Pratt Of Brattleboro, an expert ac-
Countant, said he had found nothing
to criticise in the financial manage
ment Of the institution and that there
was mo possible chance for dishones-
ty, graft, rake-offs. or any other crook
ed work" Other conditions at the
school were apparently satisfactory to
the commission.
Gov C. J. Bell and the trustees of the
school were present at the examina-
tion in addition to the commission
Attorney General c. G. Fits of Brat
tlebOro conducted the investigation.

81 "a Fine for Long skirt.

The municipal authorities Of Nord-
hansen, near Magdeburg, Germany,
have forbidden the wearing Of dress
trains inside the city limits. Last
year, "to prevent danger of health and
annoyance by raising Of dust" the po-
lice board forbade the ladies to allow
aheir dress trains to drag on certain
pTomenades.
This order has now been extended
to cover the entire city, and disobe-
dience will be punished more severely.
The penalty for violations of this or
dinance is by fine not exceeding $714,
or Imprisonment for corresponding
number of days.

Governor Wants to Reslnn.

Warsaw, Poland.-It is stated here
that in view Cf the recent outrages
in and around Warsaw, the increased
energy of the revolutionists, and the
inadequacy of the repressive measures
now in force, the governor general
has informed the government at st.
Petersburg in emphatic terms that he
will resign unless he is permitted to
establish a strict state of siege.
1t is probable that the government
will accept his resignation as a con.
tinuation of the present state of af-
fairs is impossible.

brighter in color than the other, but
