THE CITY COUNCIL
HAS STORMY
SESSION
Proceedings Interrupted by
Fire Whistle in the Early
Morning Hours.

The city council held a session last
night which lasted like the love-mak-
ing of a young man in June-until the
early morning hours, the adjournment
being taken ON the motion OF the fore
whistle.
When the council was called to orr
der, Attorney Finlays0n stated that
he had a report to make and asked
to have the regular order of business
suspended. This was accordingly
done, and then the fun began. City
Attorney Collins walked on tacks for
about ten minutes. The trouble was
on the condition Of the Duck case. The
story is that the law 'frm of Bronson
& Collins were attorneys for Luck,
who was sued by the city to recover
an electric light bill, the point being
to test whether or not the owner of
property was liable for electricity
furnished tenant. The case was ap-
pealed to the supreme court, and as
Collins, the city attorney, was dis
qualified from acting for the city In
the case, the council employed Maslse
e Finlayson to prepare and present,
the brief in the supreme court. This
they did, winning the point OF con-
tention for the city. The decision
was rendered on March l, and judg-
ment for costs should have been en-
tered In the supreme court and formal
action taken to have the matter re-
turned to the district court. Accord
ing to the written report filed by
Massee & Finlayson last night and ac-S
cepted by the council. Collins. before
the costs were taxed in the supreme
court, told Finlayson that he-Fin-
layson--would not be allowed to
proceed further In the case, and
when Finlayson insisted on doing so
Collins threatened disbarment pro-
/ ceedings. This Collins states was
eaid as Jest, however. Collins made
no report Of the, matter to- the coun-
Gil. but proceeded to give notice for
the trial Of the case at the June term
OF the district court Finlayson hap
pened to be In court Monday when
the matter came up and stated the
facts to Judge Watts, who instructed
him to report the matter to the coun-
Gil. Collins at hrst stated last night
that the matter would be held open
until Saturday OF this week, and when
the council expressed surprise that
they had been given no report Of the
matter until this late day. he wriggled

tect its interests and rights the case

 Ht. Petersburg, Aug. 5.--The accounts receivsd here of the mutiny on the arnored cruiser Pamyat Azova, on Au- gust I, show that the sailors expected to obtain the support of the garrison of the fortress at RevaI.
 student agitator. probably one of the emissaries sent from St.>Petorsburg, was slowed away on board. When the crew mutinied after midnight Wednes- day the cruiser was anchored twenty miles down the coast Evidently her commander, Captain Sosinsky. had been warned, for he arrested and set ashore q sai1or named Taroscff, who was re- garded as the ring leader.
 Two hours afterwards the sailors rose and killed Captain Saborovsky, the of- fcer on watch. When he saw the nu- tinears approaching he made rush for fhe carbine rack, but the sailors had damned the breach locks of the car pines and Captain Sabrovsky was shot.
 The firing aroused the officers below who ran up on deck and taking in the situation crowded into launch noored alongside the Pamyat Azova and start ed for the shore. The mutinesrs manned a cutter and put of in pursuit of the launch. Lieutenant Unknosvky and two other officers were killed by shell from the cruiser and others were wounded
 The mutineers in the cutter were rapidly Jverhauling the launch when on reaching shallow water the suryiv- ing officers jumped into the bay and made for the shore. An attempt was made by the fugitive officers to drag along with them one of their wounded comrades, but he was eventually aban- ioned and drowned. Eight officers es- eaped into the woods.
 Later the mutineers hove up the an- ehor and heaaed the cruiser for Reval. Her consort a torpedo boat, followed under fire from the Pamyat Azova, but was not hit as she succeeded in keeping out of range.
 On arriving at Reval. some of the mutineers put of In boat for the fortress, in order to request the artil- Ierymen to join them, but the author ittes had in the meantime been ap- prlsed of what had happened and the mutineers were arrested as they land ed.
 This being seen from the cruiser, the main portion of the crew, who in the meantime seemed to have remained neu- trai suddenly turned on the mutineers, owerpowered them. replaced the red flag at the most head with white flag and sent word ashore that the mutineers were confined below deck, whereupon the Governor General sent off soldiers in boats and the mutineers were taken ashore. About 150 soldiers were ar rested but a number of students found among the crew were also made pris- oners.
 Ths Pomyat Azova was the cruiser on which Emperor Nicholas, the heir to the throne. made voyage to the far east in 1893.
