ST. PETERSBURG, September 26.-Grave
agrarian disorders have broken out in the
provinces of Viatka, the center of disturb
ances being the important district of NAL
muish, with population of over 100000,
where, according to the reports received,
the inhabitants of seventy villages have
joined in the uprising, have disarmed and
expelled the police and are pillaging and
destroying the residences of the landowners
and devastating the country. 1t is rumored
at Viatka that the administrative police
chiefs in the Malmuish district and eight of
their subordinates have been killed.
The excuses began September 20 with a
riot over the enrolment of army reserve
men for their autumn service. At the viii
lage of Multani a mob of peasants attacked
the enrolment station, killed a sergeant
and six rural policemen, mortally wounded
the assistant police chief Of the district and
destroyed the lists of reservemen.
The Viborg manifesto is thought to be
more directly responsible for the disorders
than anything else. 1t had a wide circula-
to the peasants to refuse to do military
service was spread by the members of the
outlawed parliament from Viatka.
Second Bomb Thrown.
HELSINGFORS, Finland, September 26.-
A second bomb was thrown during the

brecht, commander of the police following
the unsuccessful attempt made early yes
terday morning to blow up the police re-
serve barracks. The captains house was
wrecked. but there was no loss of life. 1t
is thought that the perpetrators of the out
RACES were actuated by spirit of revenge
for the recent arrests of Finnish refugees

SECRETARY TAFT's PLANS.
Not Known Here When He Will Re

1t is not known when Secretary Taft will
return to Washington and the State De-
partment officials are without advices as to
what Assistant Secretary Bacon's personal
plans are. Secretary Taft was scheduled to
start from Washington on October for a
tour of army posts in the far west, but it
seems improbable that he will be able to
make this trip for many weeks If at all. He
and Brig. Gen. j. Franklin Bell expected
to visit Fort Smelling, Mimi. Fort D. A.
Russell, Wyo.; Fort Leavenworth and Fort
Riley Kan, and Fort Sam Houston in
Texas Secretary Taft is also scheduled to
start with President Roosevelt on Novem-
Der for Panama. This trip has not been
officially called off as yet.

HANSON NAMED FOR CONGRESS.
Lively Time at Congressional Conven-
ton at Manchester, Va.

r George A. Hanson was nominated by the
| third district republican convention in Man
chester, Va, yesterday for Congress. The
negroes resented the drawing of the color
| line, and few were in the hall. John G..
Luce, district chairman, nominated c..
Ridgeway Moore, but he declined. Mr..
Hanson, who had been previously named
| by United States Marshal Morgan Treat,
accepted the honor, and eulogized In
| a number of seconding speeches. The only
note of discord came from a colored dele
gate Peter B. Shorts opposed nomina-
| ton of any kind at this time. giving as a
rea son that the whites. had raised the color
line, and he, therefore, opposed any action.
The chairman ruled the speaker out of
order and forced him to sit down.
Mr.. Hanson stepped quickly to the front
of the stage, his eye flashing and his face
showing evident excitement 1.-The devel-
opments of the last few minutes demand
some expression from me. If the negro is
here to exalt himself he is not wanted: II
they are here republicans they are want
ed The time has come for the negroes,
as a party or as leaders. to take back
seat They have only 10000 votes In the
state: can they hope to do anything? As
leaders they could do nothing I do not
want any mans vote by reason of his
color I shall not ask you to vote for me
with the idea that 1 think can win, for
1 do not"
Mr. Hanson's speech evoked frequent ap-
plause from the whites, but the negroes
shook their heads. He declared the white
people would continue to rule the state,
but that for fifty years no statesman had
come from Virginia simply because she
had been on the wrong side. Emmett Kinney
a negro delegate, loudly proclaimed that he
was from Hanover, the home of Henry
Clay, and for forty years had fought the
democratic party. but now he had been
kicked out, and hereafter when conventions
meet and polls are opened he will be
found hunting and fishing.
S. c. Scott, colored bailiff in the United
States courts at Richmond made a concilia-
tory speech, saying that the white man had
always led the party and would continue
to lead, and the colored man should follow
In his footsteps, he always had done.
Resolutions were adopted indorsing Roose-
Welt and Representative Slemp, and ex-
pressing confidence in the ability of the
republicans to maintain a republican Con-
gress.

CONSTABLE AS A FISH.
! Pony and Trap Landed by Angler
With Rod and Line.

From the Cork County Eagle
Two remarkable angling stories come from
Durrus, in Cork county, the one relating
to the attempt made to land a police con-
stable by means of a salmon fishing rod
and the other to the strange experience
which befell DIR. Orr, a Huddersfield
surgeon, in the same place.
DIR. Lewis. the medical officer of Durrus,
undertook to land any swimmer in the
river in fifteen minutes, and Constable Ken
nedy, a noted swimming champion, con-
scented to act the fish A belt was fasten-
ed across the constable's shoulders and to
this was attached a strong salmon hook
Lakewood rod and the ordinary salmon
fishing line were used. The human fish took
the water at high tide and with bold
stroke swan out ten yards At this dis
lance DR.. Lewis checked the constable's
progress. and then the fish dived and turned
on his back. but without avail.
For two minutes it was an even contest
between angler and fish, then the con-
stable swan away for twenty yards when
| he was again brought up. He dived and
wriggled like an eel but not another inch
could he add to his advantage. After eleven
| minutes struggle the angler was gaining
ground; but Constable Kennedy gathered
strength, and diving. made away with a
powerful stroke. At the fourteenth minute
! when only one minute remained the salmon
! line snapped and the fish was declared the
victor.
| More remarkable still was the incident
which followed. DIR. Orr of Huddersfield
! was fyfishing in the river when the pony
which brought him from Dunbeacon broke
| loose from where 1t was tied and fell into
| deep water with the trap attached. The
pony make frantic efforts to swim ashore
| but was hampered by the weight of the
| trap.
DR.. Orr, the narrative goes on, was fish
ing at the opposite side of the stream and
he threw his line toward the pony. By a
fortunate chance the fishing hook caught
the pony i'm the ear and held fast. The
angler pulled his line and the pony re-
spOnded, with the result that both pony and
trap were safely landed on the store.

remained seated, the worthy reverend
walked down the aisle and stopped
beside him, at the same time gently
inquiring, My dear little boy you
