THE PENNSYS
 LOWER RATES
The Maximum LeSSeRed a
 Gent a Mile
Connecting Lines From the South are Expected to Adopt the Reduction.

Philadelphia, July 31.-Important conditions in passengers rates were announced today by Fourth Vice-Pres ident John B. Fhayer of the PennsyI- vania railroad. following a meeting Of the board of directors of that corpora ton The company has decided to re- duce the maximum one-haIf rate from 34a cents to 21a cents a mile. This ac- ton will involve a readjustment of all through fares from the south, and ow- ing to the vast amount of work en- tailed by reason of the change the new rate of fare will not become operative for some time, probabIy November 1.
 It is assumed that the connecting lines which reach New York by way of Cincinnati and Louisville will meet the Pennsylvania cOmpanys reduction by readjustment of fares. so that all southern passenger traffic, whether by way of Washington. Cincinnati or Louisville. will be on an equal basis.
 The company will also. on September 1, place On sale 1000-mile tickets, valid only on it's lines east of Pittsburg and Erie. at the flat price of S2O. These mileage tickets will be transferable No change is to be made in the price of Interchangeable mileage tickets now sold by the company which are not
 
 of $1O above the regular price is re quired. It is estimated that 50.O00 in terchangeable mileage books are pre- sented daily on the various roads. and of this number 65 per cent are used on the lines of the Pennsylvania road.
 Concerning the reduction in one-way fares, the company's announcement, made through Vice-President Thayer. says: "This reduction of fares has been the subject of serious considera- tiOn for year past. The company has expended large sums to build relief lines upon which freight trains should be moved. that this class of traffic might be diverted from the present main lines and thus secure less liabil- ity of delay to the company's largely increased passenger service. The com pany has believed that the time would come whe-i a much larger traffic could be handled proftably with reduction of the present rates of fare"

OLD SUMMERTIME
 IN INY0 COUNTY
Terrible Heat Conditions in the
 Gold Fields There.

Los Angeles, July 31.-According to reports which have reached this city, terrible heat conditions are prevailing in the Inyo county gold fields and the adjacent desert. the mining prospectors are dying daily from the heat. W. H. Adams, a mining engineer who left Los Angeles July for the PanamInt range and who has just returned to this city. states that eight prospectors were brought in dead from heat while he was in the region.
 During his stay at Panamint, six bodies were brought there, all victims of sunstroke. The heat, he says, is ter rible and unabated day and night. At BallaTat, he relates, the thermometer registered 135 at noon and at midnight the following night had dropped to but He degrees which was the average for three days. In the desert section, lying south of Redlands, he says, the mer- cury went up to 16O and could record no higher.

BRlEF REMARKS OF
 VISITING ENGINEERS
What They Saw at ROoseveIt--WiII
 Leave Tonight for Yuma.

Engineer Morris Bien, the legal ad-
 wiser of the reclamation service. when asked yesterday for a word concerning
 his trip to Roosevelt. said he was real
 ly amazed at what has been accom- piished on this project in the three years that have elapsed since his last visit to the basin. He says the work accomplished is certainly creditable to
 the men who have had charge, and he can say so with modesty. for construc- ton is not in his department af ac- l tivity.
 MT. Bien, as the legal adviser, is more directly concerned with titles than any thing else in connection with the work
 at Roosevelt. It has been his effort to amicably adjust and acquire title for the government to such acreage as was held in private ownership that will be eventually submerged by the reservoir l water, Or that, for other reasons, is needed in the carrying on of the gov ernment's work He said he was glad
 10 announce that in most instances he had made a satisfactory adjustment with the land owners. He was sorry though, to say that in some cases it looked as though it would be necessary to at once institute condemnation pro- | ceedings. He has been dealing with these people for a couple of years and
 has made them what seem to be fair and reasonable offers, which have not
 been accepted. The government does not propose to be held up, and can pro- ceed at any time under the law if it
 chooses to do so. It has been his hope,
 however, that all differences could be adjusted without resort to the courts
 for he does not like to bring condemna- ton proceedings against any settler just because he has power to do so. It has been found necessary to proceed this way, though, on one project and 1t may be found necessary. and at a very early day, to adopt a similar pol icy in respect of one or two others. And some of these cases, he intimated
 would concern one or more of the own CTS of property in the Roosevelt basin.
 Engineer Sanders, who was also at Roosevelt when he leaves here tonight will go directly to Los Angeles, where he will take up the matter of designs in connection with the proposed diver sion dam at Granite reef. He will not visit the Laguna project, for he was there but a very short time ago
 Assistant Chief Engineer A. P. Davis, when asked to say something concern ing his impressions on first beholding in real life his Roosevelt baby" said the youngster was doing well. but was not growing quite so fast as he wished it was. There have been numerous more or less trivial disappointments that have delayed construction longer

THE REVOLT PROGRESSES.
Difficulty of Obtaining News From the
 Front.

St. Petersburg. July 31.-No report of the suspension of the great revolt of the garrison of Sveaborg fortress. "the Gibraltar of the north" has been received in St. Petersburg up to this hour. The secondary uprising among the marines and troops stationed at Skatudden barracks on the peninsula communicating with the mainland. was crushed out at a late hour yes terday afternoon by loyal troops after heavy fighting. in which nine cruisers. destroyers and torpedo boats partici- pated.
 The sound of firing on the islands and from the fortress has ceased, and in spite of the fact that the occupation of the entire front by Cossacks pre- vents the obtaining of positive news, 1t is announced at Helsingfors that the mutinous artillerymen and sappers still are holding their positions. The outlying islands and the fortress ap- pear to be in their possession and they have practically all the machine guns quick frers and movable artillery of the fortress.

fortress, is holding on to the main fort on Commander island with a force of loyal infantry. A general strike was declared in Helsingfors by the social ist workmen today. All factories have been closed.
 The last direct dispatch from the correspondent of the Associated Press. which has just arrived here, was eleven hours en route from Helsingfors. The guard" the armed socialist legion, was contemplating an armed uprising to attempt the release of the prisoners in the Skatudden barracks.
 Owing to the cutting of the tele- graph by the flying expedition of the fred guard" which destroyed the rail- road at Ryhioaki, the Associated Press is receiving the freshest news of the mutiny by the roundabout means of telephoning to Viborg and telegraphing from there to St. Petersburg. This en- tails delay of several hours. The military received a telegram this morn ing from Major General Laiming, an nouncing that the fortresses and artil- lery had opened fire on Commander island. The insurgents seized all the machine guns and too kpossessioH of one of the islands. Some of the tele- graph wires have been cut.
 Major General Laiming, announced that he was on Commander island with several companies of the garrison and two companies of sharpshooters sent from Helsingfors. He does not give the number of casualties. Premier Stolypin also has received frequent messages concerning the mutiny. He told a caller that the situation was critical to an extreme degree.
 Almost the entire fortress is in the hands of the insurgents. and there are comparatively few loyal troops in Hell singfors. The entire socialist popula- tion is led by the fred guard"

Helsingfors. July S1--A gigantic military conspiracy, aiming at the simultaneous capture of Russia's three great sea fortresses Cronstadt, Sebas- topoI and Sveaborg, arranged by the revolutionary military league. was prematurely sprung here last night by an attempt to arrest members of company of sappers who had mutinied on account of the death of one of their comrades, alleged to have been due to i'll treatment.
 The entire garrison of the fortress of 5veaborg famed out instantly in re- volt. All the artillerymen and sappers garrisoning the place were involved. Only four companies of infantrymen remained loyal. The mutineers seized forty machine guns and practically all the quick firers and artillery in the fortress, but even with this aid they were unable to hold the main fort against the loyal infantry. The fight ing continued all night long. The heav- jest firing was heard from 10 o'clock in the evening until o'clock in the morn ing.
 This morning a detachment of civil ian revolutionaries seized the marine barracks on Skatudden island and hoisted the red flag. and were joined by all the marines. Nine cruisers, tor pedo boats and destroyers lying in the harbor opened fire on the barracks. This fire was answered from the third story windows of the barracks with machine guns and rifles. The torpedo boat and destroyers, which were lying clc- t. shoT 2. ere subjected to such hot fire from the barr-4cks r. at thei men were driven below decks. The finally steamed out and joined in the bOmbardment with the cruisers. This sea attack was in cooperation with at tacks from COssacks and infantry from the land side which began at o'clock in the morning and continued through out the whole day.

TRANSVAAL
 AUTONOMY
An Unrestricted Suffrage
 for Males
The Proposed Constitution
 for South Africa Fiercely
 Opposed by Conservatives

London, July 31.-In a speech Of great moderation, carefully designed to propitiate his opponents, Winston Spencer Churchill, parliamentary sec retary for the colonial office, in the house of commons this afternoon ex- plained the governments plan to con fer a constitution on the Transvaal.
 He declared that the government had decided for the principle of man hood suffrage without any property qualification. Therefore every adult male. twenty-One years old who had been a resident six months in South Africa, except members of the British garrisOns would be entitled to vote under the secret ballot system. Pro portionate representation was not pop ular and it was incomprehensible in the TransvaaI so it had been decided to go straight for single member seats.
 The TranvaaI assembly would con sist of sixty-nine salaried members elected for five years. Either the British or Dutch language could be used in the transaction of public bus mess.
 An animated debate followed the closing of MT. ChurchilPs remarks Mir. Balfour. winding up for the unionists, declared it to be a reckless and aud acious experiment. He argued that it was too near the war to expect the Dutch to forget what they had suffer- ed and it was more than human na- ture could grant to expect them to be loyal to Great Britain. He declared the explanation of this hurried procedure was the governments burning desire to get rid of all its economic ques- tions in South Africa which its rash pledges of general election had brought on if.
 Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman. the premier, answering MT. Balfour. said he had never listened to a more un- worthy. mischevious and unpatriotic speech.
 While MT. Churchill was praising the new constitution, his cousin. the Duke of Marlborough, who was colon. ial under-secretary in the late govern . ment was denouacing it in the upper house Lord Harris asked what flag would wave over Pretoria twenty years hence. Lord Milner declared he saw tragedy behind the precipitancy of the government and mourned that the fu- ture of the Transvaal was to be left to chance

than anticipated. Nevertheless. every thing seems to be going nicely now, and the contractor is pushing the work as fast as he can. The recent floods. while they did not flow over the cofrer dams, percolated through them, filling up the intervening basin. where .he dam foundation is to be laid. The cOf- fer dams now have been repaired and the work Of excavation has been re- sumed. The hydraulic giant works in termittently, but the two big hydraulic lifts are constantly at work and it was expected a couple Of large centrifugal pumps would be installed yesterday. Considerable heavy rock has been re- moved, but there Is yet to be done the greater part of the heavy excavation. The machinery all seems to be work ing nicely and. after the weather per mits the contractor to get the founda- ton in, things ought to move rapidly.
 MT. Davis MT. Bien and Mr. Hill will leave tonight for Yuma, and will be accompanied by MT. Sanders, who will go on through to Los Angeles.

Son of President of the Pacific Express
 Company.

Denver. July 31.-Dr. James D. Egg gleston. Jr.. son of the president of the Pacific Express company, who has been practicing as a dentist in this city. was arrested this afternoon on a charge of counterfeiting.
 A search of his office is said to have disclosed several photographs of bills. a bogus half dollar stamped on one side and a considerable amount of metal alloy which could be used in making bogus money. So far no evidence has developed that Egleston had made any effort to pass counterfeit money.
