Gents an Ounce.

Washington, Aug. TO- Pursuant to
the announcement of the secretary OF
the treasurer that he desired to receive
tenders OF silver yesterday. four bids
were made to Director Roberts OF the
mint.
The bids were opened yesterday after
noon, and after being submitted to
Secretary Shaw, it was announced that
the government had purchased 80. 900
ounces of silver, 999 fine, at $500

silver a week for an indefinite time. 1t
is the purpose, therefore, of Secretary
Shaw and Director Roberts to receive
bids Wednesday of each week until

BUYS ST. PAUL SYSTEM.
Hartman Secures Railroad Coveted
by James j. Hill.

Hartman Secures Railroad Coveted
by James j. Hill.
New York, Aug. Ill can be au.
thoritatively stated that control of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail.
road has passed into the hands of E.
Ell Hartman, via the Southern Pacific
Railroad company, which is controlled
by the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany, the main Hartman concern. A
rumor to the effect that Hartman
sought to own the st. Paul property
has been heard on various occasions of
late, but not until today could it be
learned from a competent authority
that there wac good foundation for the
report.
AS a railroad deal this purchase of
the st. Paul by Hartman is more re.
markable than the coup by which he
secured the Illinois Central control
nearly year ago. Hartman had for
years been an important factor in the
Illinois Central management, but until
now he has never been mentioned in
connection with st. Paul.
The present deal is also interesting
from the fact that in 1900 James J Z.
Hill, Harriman's arch enemy in the
railroad arena, made strenuous efforts
to purchase the st. Paul, but was re-
fused control by the same Standard Oil
Interests which with willingness turfed
the property over to Hartman.

CASHIER BACKED BookIEs.
Herring Represented Himself Wealthy
Man Seeking Suckers"


Chicago, Aug. IL. - Absolute proof
that Henry Herring, cashier of the
wrecked Milwaukee Avenue State bank,
was financial hacker OF bookmaking
syndicate which laid odds on horse
races, vas brought to light late today,
when Inspector shippy found check
made payable to Harry NJ. Smith, who
for years ran the Buffet at 56 South
State street, and whose place was closed
this spring, because OF running baud
book, that handbook being none other
than that run by the syndicate headed
by Herring, but whose name never APP
peared as connected with it until to-
day. Other men in the syndicate were
Charles Francis, Thomas Rowe, Walter
Frantzen, Harry Thorpe and Henry
Troy.
All these men were interviewed by
the Inspector and all admitted that
they we're connected with the book, but
denied that they knew Herring was con-
nected with any bank, and said that he
represented that he was a wealthy
man, and that he wanted to increase
his wealth by separating "a few suck
ers from their loose change"

Simultaneous Assaults.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 16.-Acting
apparently with definite plan and al
a signal the terrorists and revolution
lists today inaugurated a carnival of
murderous attacks with bombs and re-
volvers on the police and troops in va.
rious cities in Poland, echoes of which
are heard from Samara, Ufa, Yalta,
Kiev and even far away Chita, where
the acting chief of police was slain al
most on his own doorstep.
The revolutionist campaign famed
out with special virulence at Warsaw,
where over score were killed in the

Among the killed, according to the lat
est official advices, we're two sergeants
OF police, eight patrolmen, three gen.
darmes, five soldiers, Hebrew merch-
ant and woman. The returns are not
all in.
Policemen and soldiers were shot
down like rabbits in the streets. Their
assailants, who travelled III small bands,
almost all escaped among the terrorized
but sympathetic populaee. The only
considerable capture was a band of
three men who had invaded greg
shop and killed a soldier. These were
taken by passing patrol.

On account of the agrarian disorders,
especially several attacks on post trains,
the railway between SamaTa and Fla.

placed under martial law. Two of
these attacks occurred today near Ufa,

train, bursting open the doors of the
cars with bombs and rifing the leg

amounted to SIS, 900; in the other case

FIRST INSURANCE TRIAL.
Test Case Upon Earthquake Clause
Set for Trial.

SeI TOT rtats
San Francisco, Aug. 15.-The first of
the insurance cases involving the earth
quake clause was set for trial today by
Superior Judge Hebbard. The case is
that of the Rosentbal Shoe company
against the Williamsburg City Fire In
surance company. The attorney for
the insurance people asked that the
case be not set for trial until opportu-
nifty could be given the judges mutual
ly to arrange with the insurance COM
panies for a test case. He said that
the insurance companies would demand
a jury trial in each case, and unless
proper arrangements were made for a
test case the courts would be occupied
for years in hearing insurance litiga-
ton.
The attorney for the plaintiff declar-
ed that there we're points of fact in this
connection that could not be settled by
a test case. The court then asked the
insurance attorney if he waived a jury
trial, and was answered, "No." The
Judge then asked, ''Do you demand a
jury trial?" but could not get direct
answer.
The attorney for the shoe company
then announced that TO save time he
would formally demand jury trial.
The case was set for August 27.

MOB is SUPREME.
Russian Terrorists Wreak Vengeance
on Hated Police.


st. Petersburg, Aug. Is. - Adviees
received from Libau state that the riot
GUS demonstrations that began there
Saturday night still continue and that
the Hooligan element absolutely holds
sway in the city, the police being pow
erless to check it. Law abiding citizens
are unable to traverse the streets and a
reign of robbery and rapine is in pro-
gress that will not be checked until
troops are sent to aid the police.
So far all appeals to the government
at St. Petersburg have fallen appar-
emily upon deaf ears and this fact has
emboldened the disturbing element to
add murder to it's other crimes. Five
storekeepers have been murdered dur
ing the past IL hours and hundreds of
shops have been looted. The rioters
raided the alcohol depot, and after
filling themselves up on the fiery fluid,
paraded the streets, shouting threats
againet the Jews and factory owners
and storekeepers.
Three police officers have been NUT
dered since Tuesday morning, the Ter
rorists apparently having seized upon
the confusion as offering a magnificent
opportunity to eliminate the hated
members of the police who have been
active in working against them.
There is one regiment of infantry in
the local barracks at Libau, but it is
mutinous and the officers some days
ago took from the men all their am
munition, as it was feared that they in
tended to mutiny.

Car Service Stopped.

New York, Aug. 49, Following the
arrest tonight of three division inspec-
tors OF the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company on charges of assault, the
company shut off entirely all of it's
surface lines leading to Coney Island,
taking the position that this was the
only way to stop the rioting which has
been in progress since Sunday morning
at the points where tecond fare was
demanded by the company's employees.
The elevated and express trains to the
seashore were augmented. The in
spectors were released on bail.

PEOPLE GROW CALLoUs.
Eye Witness Describes Warsaw After
Outbreak of Terrorists.

London, Aug. IL. The Tribune's
Warsaw correspondent telegraphs de-
scription of the scenes witnessed by
him after the disturbances Wednesday.
'The hospital surgeons, fatigued by
their labors," he Gays, "were unable
to attend to cases, and wounds regarded
as fatal were left to take their course.
"The scenes in the morgues were
horrible. In one counted 80 civilian
bodies, all dirty and dressed as they
fell.
"The people have grown callous
with too much death. 1 heard young
girl laugh heartily at the sight of a
woman whose brain-pan had been torn
off by bomb.
Gin one hospital l saw a youth who,
when bayoneted yesterday, feigned
death. The soldiers trod over him and
their heavy boots crushed his fingers
to pulp, but he successfully stood the
ordeal. He was carried to the morgue,
when it was discovered he was alive
He is now progressing favorably.
"Last night resulted in an orgie of
blood in the Jewish quarter. The num-
Der of persons dubbed or bayoneted ex-
ceeds three hundred.
'sThe morgues are crowded with
dead. The bodies were arrayed in
rows, the clothes dirty with the filth
of the streets where they fell. No
effort was made to do more than pile
the corpses in morgues, and very little
has been done towards indentifying
them. Relatives and friends of those
who lost their lives are fearful of
brutal treatment at the hands of the
authorities if they visit the morgues."
