Detroit, Mich, Aug. 3.-The en-
dorsement of William j, Bryan for
president in 1908 and the defeat of
the resolution calling upon the ma
tional Democratic committee to In
vestigate charges against National
Chairman Thomas r. Taggart and de-
manding his resignation, III they were
proven; and the nomination of
Charles H. Kimmerle of 5Cassopolis for
governor over Stanley b. Parkhill of
Owosso after spirited ballot were
features of the Democratic state con-
vention here yesterday. About $50
delegates attended the convention and
placed a complete ticket in nomina-
tion.
The resolutions say: "The evils un-
der the forms of combinations and
trusts, which have SO shocked the
moral sense of the country during
the past few years are. the direct out
come Of class legislation by the Re-
publican party, comforting privileges
upon corporations at the expense Of
the common people,
The platform cites the rejection Of
the propositions of Senator La Fol-
lette with regard to railroad legis-
laion as proof of these assertions.
The resolutions favor the nomination
of all candidates by a direct vote and
the nomination and election OF United
States senators by directsote.

Naval Captains Radioneff, Dobrowel-
sky, Schoumoff and Stayanowsky.
Wounded-Rear Almiral Beclemcheff
and Captains Krinitzki and Patton
and Ensign Maltzeff.
Order was restored yesterday morn
ing. The Finliansky regiment of i'm
perial guards has arrived at Cron-
stadt."
From eye witnesses on both sides,
the correspondent learned that In ad-
dition to the officers previously men,
toned, the losses on the side of the
loyal men were six soldiers and two
sailors killed and about twenty of
both arms wounded. The loss on the
side Of the mutineers could not be OBJ
tanned, but they were not heavy.
Three workmen were killed and six
were wounded. In addition Nine.
jacob, sister of Col. Alebandroff,
who threw herself between her
brother and some sailors, when the
latter swarmed into their houses at
the beginning of the outbreak, was
brutally stabbed to death. The ut
most ferocity was displayed by both
sides. Earlier accounts Of the Cron-
stadt trouble have been largely in
correct. The mutinous sailors never
went to Fort Constantine and the
plan of the uprising was conceived
by the revolutionary military COM
mittee. While it was executed to the
letter it failed because the informa-
tion of the situation on Fort Constan-
tien and the arsenal was faulty.

COMMISSION YESTERDAY
Order Means That If It Is Necessary
All the Railroads Doing Business in
Minnesota Will Have to Take Their
Complete Records to the State Capt.
tol- Order Granted on Application
of Attorney for Shippers.
SWEEPING ORDER MADE BY RATE

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 3.-The state
railroad and warehouse commission
yesterday entered an order compel
ling the railroads whose officials have
given testimony in the merchandise
rate hearing, which has been in pro-
gress during the present year and
which was lately resumed, to pro-
duce at the Office of the commission
on August 9Th all records on which
their statistics have been based. This
order is the most sweeping one of its
kind ever made by commission and
if it is inclined to enforce it, in de-
tail, it would mean the bringing of
records of all the railroads doing
business in Minnesota to the state
capitol. Commissioner Staples re-
marked yesterday that this would
not be the result if the railroads
would permit an examination of the
records in their own offices.
This order of the commission is the
result of a request made by Attorney
Manahan representing the shippers Of
Hastings, Mimi, made at Wednes-
days hearing, after the auditor Of
the Northern Pacific had given sta
tistics showing how earnings of the
railroads had decreased in Minnesota,
while they had increased in Iowa and
Illinois. Mr.. Manahan claimed the
statistics did not show acual facts.
The order of the commission is di7
rected at the Great Northern, but
may be made applicable to any road
on the request Of the shippers at
torney. The matter may be taken
into the courts. +

DRUNKEN HOBO ARRESTED
Man, Afflicted With the D. T.'s Caused
Excitement

A drunken hobo, afflicted with the
delirium tremens, was entertaining a
large crowd of people in front Of a
Main street saloon yesterday after
noon about 4 O'Clock, when Officer
Kirley nabbed him to take him to
the Jail uptil he could sober up.
The fellow showed great reluctance
about going and Dick Edwards was
deputized to assist. The two officers
had great difficulty as they had to
veritably drag their prisoner, and as
he was a large, heavy built man it
was hard work for them. The fellow
will be given an opportunity to tell
his name this morning to Justice
Jones.

Crew Seizes >

st. Petersburg, Aug. 3.-(5:45 p.
M Startling news reached here
late yesterday to the effect that a
crew ofthe armored cruiser Pamyat
Azova mutinied off the Esthonian
coast and are now in full possession
ofthe ship which has sailed north
ward in the direction of the Finnish
Gulf. 1t is stated that the captain

STEEL LAYING BhaUN
Enthusiasm Displayed at Watertown

Work has at last started on laying
the steel on the Watertown-C Conde
branch Of the M. & st. L. road. The
first spike was driven Wednesday and
the event was celebrated in an ap-
propriate manner. Speeches were
made by prominent Watertown
citizens, among the speech makers
being General M. M. Sheaf on the
part Of the citizens and Attorney e..
w. Case representing the railroad.
The first spike driven was a silver
one. It was driven by L. S. Sheldon,
the Watertown banker, but afterward
it was removed and returned to him
as souvenir.

st. Petersburg, Russia, Aug. g.
(1:15 a. m.)-Although the mutinies
at Sveaborg have been ended and the
one at Cronstadt has been practically
put down, the outlook is still black.
The revolutionists, whose hands were
suddenly forced by the premature ris-
ing at Sveaborg, apparently are un-
daunted at these initial reverses and
intend to persist in their program of
calling a general strike on Saturday
or Monday. One of the leaders of the
revolutionists with whom the Asso-
ciated Press spoke last night, boasted
that the word had gone forth and
that the fire of revolt would spread
to the corners of the empire. His
closing words to the correspondent
were:
"Now watch Reval, Riga and
Libau.''
The news of the mutiny on board
the cruiser Pamyat Azova off the
Esthonian coast is fraught with enor-
nous possibilities. The crew Of this
vessel rose and killed the commander
and four officers.
Ambassador Meyer has received a
dispatch from the American consul at
Reval, saying that the Pamyat Azova
entered that port yesterday afternoon
with a red flag at her masthead.
Should this cruiser under the flag
of the mutineers, sail to the north
ward and appear in the presence of
the main squadron in the Gulf of
Finland, the loyalty of the crews of
these vessels would perhaps be put to
a stronger test than they could stand.
Although the admiralty assert that
the squadron off Sveabcrg did not
waver in it's allegiance, there is
something mysterious about the re-
ports of the actions of the ships
which warrants suspicion that all is
fired on the mutineers, the others re-
naming on the horizon as if the adj
miral was not sure that they could
be depended upon. The mutiny on
the Pamyat Azova may possibly raise
international complications, as in the
eye of the law this cruiser, like the
Kniaz Potemkine in the Black Sea in
the summer Of 1905, is a pirate.
There. is reason to believe that the
German fleet has orders covering just
such a contingency as this and that
it would not hesitate to put an end
to the renegade cruiser as q danger
to commerce.
When the firing began at Cron-
stadt Wednesday night there ensued
wild panic in the imperial palace
at Peterhof, as the palace lies under
the guns Of the fortress All prepar-
ations had been made in advance to
flee to Tsarskoe Selo, but the report
afloat Wednesday afternoon that the
emperor and his family actually had
fled in the middle Of the night was
denied later at the chancellery Of the
imperial household. Z was explained
however, that on account of the
dampness" at Peterhof, arrange
rnents had been made Tor the return
Of the imperial family to Tsarskoe
.Selo.
Martial law was proclaimed at
Cronstadt All day reinforcem ents
have been landing there from the
mainland. No one is permitted on the
island Without pass and although
the correspondent Of the Associated
Press was thus equipped. he was held
up and searched upon disembarking
from q rowboat. The correspondent
found that at o'clock Wednesday
evening there were about 1000

the following account Of the Cron-

Yesterday evening disorders broke
out at Cronstadt. Sailors Of the
Fourth equipage Of the feet left their
barracks at II o'clock and Joined the
crowd awaiting them in the street.
They proceeded toward the residence
of the commandant of the port. A de-
tachment of infantry was Immediate
ly summoned and it fred on and dis
persed the crowd. simultaneously
the agitation displayed itself to the
other equipages of the fleet. Sailors
began to assemble outside of their
barracks but were persuaded to re-
turn to their quarters. Meanwhile
the members OF the Fourth equipage
and the populace had re-assembled
and precipitated themselves towards
the arsenal in an endeavor to force
the gates, but they were again dis
persed BY the infantry and quick
firing guns. Evidently the movement
was planned as to the moment Of
the appearance OF the rioters red
flag was hoisted on the fort which
the rioters occupied. This fort was
bombarded and .owards s: 80 In the
morning. the rioters surrendered. n
