MURDERS OF HOURLY OCCUR
RENEE IN WEST SIBERIA
Ignorant Peasantry Easily Amen
able to Influence are Led In Ter
rible Path of Crime.

Krassnoyarsk, Western Siberia,
Sept. ll.-Conditions here are be-
coming unbearable. There is a terri
amount of corruption and depravity
among these in authority which
wakes the people an easy prey for
agitators. The peasantry are an igno-
rant lot, easily amenable to good or
bad influence, but all advice which
they get now is in the direction of
lawlessness and crime. Murders and
robberies IN country and cities are
daily, almost hourly, occurrences.
The streets in krassnoyarsk are un-
safe after dark. Meetings are held
daily in the woods surrounding the
city The principal agitators are
Jews, but they are two clever to be
caught Railroad employees are revo-
lutionary to man, but, remembering
the awful repressions of General
Meller-Zakomelsky, who. cleared up
the Siberian strike last fall with
ruthlessness that is almost incredit-
able, they are afraid to take the III
itiative. In Siberia the Agrarian
question is not as pressing as there
is no such land hunger as exists
in Russia proper. The plague of ST.
IBERIA is the official highwaymen, who
in every, station from the lowest to
the highest, is to be corrupt and dis
honest, petty tyrant to his subordi-
mates and the people generally. The
Siberian peasants are not against
te emperor. They make a distinc-
ton between the emperor and the
government. The former they con-
slider their saviour, the latter their
curse. Dissolution Of the Donna
through reports dinned in to the
peasantry by the clergy and police,
which made it appear that the assem-
bly, refused to cooperate with the
emperor, created little sorrow among
the Muzjiks.

State Convention of Independence

New York, Sept. 1l.-Final prep
arations for the first state conven-
tion of the Independence League, of
which William Randolph Hearst Of
New York is president, will convene
in Carnegie hall in this city at noon
tomorrow were subject to a pro-
tracted meeting of the state com
mittee Of the league tonight, the ses-
sion being still in progress at late

opinion developed tonight over the
question whether full state ticket

convention in interest of Cancellation

content itself with naming only a
candidate for governor, Mr.. Hearst
himeself being apparently taken for
granted by all concerned as a candi-
date of the league for head Of the

A CRISIS APPROACHING
CRUISER DES MONIES SAILED

State Department Admits Ship Is
Headed for Havana-No Favors

Washington, Sept, ll.--lt was Of
ficially admitted today that the
American cruiser DeS Molnes which
sailed from Norfolk yesterday
had gone southwark to Key West
with the ultimate purpose Of proceed
ing to Havana, if developments with
IN the next two days warrant such
cation with the navy department
will be about eight hours run from
Havana, and while waiting, Comman-
der Halsey will be in close commune
cation iwth the navy department
prepared to carry out Immediately
any request from the department OF
state. There is no intention in this
movement of the Des Moines to show
any partiality toward one side of the
other in the present conflict in Cuba.
The ship will be at Havana to serve
as an asylum in case of need and
will be at the disposition of the
American charge. In case the Unit
ed States government finds it neces-
sary to intervene in Cuban affairs
under the provisions of the Platt
amendment the forces which would
have to be used for that purpose
would be found in a much better
state of preparation than when the
hostilities began between the United
States and Spain,
The long occupation of Cuba by
the United States troops afforded an
opportunity to the army officers tc
become familiar with the island and
probably no portion of the earth is
better known to the military author
tiles of the United States that the
island of Cuba. In addition to that
familiarity of the army officers with
the geography and general condi-
tions of Cuba, all of the supply de-
partments are better equipped. The
critical situation in Cuba is absorb
ING the attention of the administra-
ton to the exclusion of all other for
eign topics. as indicated by the ac-
tivity of the officials in the state,
navy and war departments. The
president is keeping in close touch
with every development of the revo-
lutionary movement in Cuba and is
in constant communication by wire
with the officials here, who indeed
are even in receipt of detailed in
structions from him as to what they
shall do.

garding the Rate bill He had to 90

most important part of the Elkins
bill is the penitentiary sentence for
its violation.
Railroads have been the most

railroads have packed conventions.

CHEMISTS ARE PORTER S AIDS
Analysis Puts Many Malt Drinks in
IntoXicant Glass.

Special to the World.
Muskogee, Okla, Sept. ll-Uuited
States Marshal G. A. Porter, of the
southern district, cousin of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who has ben mention
ed as a candidate for United States
marshal for the eastern district of
the new state, recently decided that
the brewerles were trying to pull the
wool over his eyes in selling malt
beverages, which are said to contain
too small an amount of alcohol to be
Intoxicating. A test case had been
tried in the western district, and Por-
ter did not take chances on arrest
ing the alleged offenders. Instead Of
doing so, he secured bottle each of
the various brew beers. and had
them analyzed.
Instead of arresting the dealers
who had them for sale he merely is
sued an order stating that the vari-
ous eight" beers had ben analyz-
ed, naming those which showed that
they contained enough malt and al
cohol to be intoxicating, and gave
the dealers forty-eight hours to
ship their stocks of those drinks out
of town.
The order was sent to every dep
uty marshal in the district and was
posted in 250 towns in the district,
with the desired effect. A few Of the
liquors, which do not contain the 2
per cent, which puts them in the in
toxicating class, will be sold, Marshal
Porter emphatically declares that he
that he will enforce the law to the
letter, ad that frequent ANALYSIS
will be made Porter says that In
dian Territory will be his home from
now on, whether he draws the mar
shalship of the new state or not He
simply insists that it is too good a
place to leave.
