St. Petersbrg. Aug. 3.-(l1:15 a. m.)-- Although the mutinies at sveabors have been ended and the one at cron- stadt 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 ot calling a general strike on Saturday or Monday.
 One of the leaders of the revolutions ists with whom the Associated Press correspondent 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 Pamytazova, of the Esthonian coast. Is fraught with enormous pos sihiIities. The crew of this vessel rose and killed the commander and four of- flcers
 Au assador Meyer has received a dis nat4 from the American Consul at ReI al saving that the warshlp entered that nort this afternoon with the red flag at her masthead. Should this cruiser under the flag of mutineers sail tC the northward and appear In the nresence of the main squadron in the cuIf of Finland the loyalty of the crayvs of these vessels would perhaps be nut to a stronger test than they could stand.
 Although the Admiralty asserts that tha squadron of Sveaborg did not wa yer in its allegiance, there is some thi,o nvsterious about the reports of inc actions of the ships which warrants the suspicion that all is not right aboard. Onl,. two ships fired on the mutineers, the others remaining on the horlzon as if the Admiral were not sure thSt they could be depended upon
 The mutlny on the Famayatazova may possibly raise international com plicatiors as in the eye of the law this cruiser like the Kniaz Potemkine in the Black Sea in the summer CT 1905 is a pirate.
 There is reason to believe that the German fleet has orders covering just such a contingency asl this, and that 1t would not hesitate to put an end to the renegade cruiser as a danger to com merce.
 When the firing began at Cronstadt Wednesday night, there ensued wild panic in the imperial palace at Peter hof, as the palace lies under the guns of the fortress. All preparations had been made in advance to flee to Tsar- skoe- Selo: but the report yesterday af- ternoon that the Emperor and his family actually had fled in the middle of the night was denied later at the chancellory of the imperial household. It was explained, however, that an ap- pearanee of "dampness' at Peterhof, ar- arrangements had been made for the re-

buildings, but 1t was decided to be pref erabie to starve them out than to com pei the men of one arm of the service to fire upon their comrades of an other arm.
 About 300 sailors who became sepa- rated from the main body on the re- turn march to the barracks were cut of and captured. As far as can be ascer- tained, everything was practically over at o'clock In the morning.
 After midnight there was glow In the heavens in the direction of Cron- stadt. but later 1t was found that 1t came from a fire on the mainland. Three other fires were raging at the same time, on Safili 0strov and two in the direction of the Narva gate. near the Baltic railroad station.

 Subdued.
 St Petersburg. Aug. 2.-The Gov ernment this evening issued the fol- lowing account of the Cronstadt af- fair:
 yesterday evening disorders broke out at Cronstadt. Sailors of the fourth eouipage of the fleet left their bar racks after II o'clock and joined a crowd awaiting them on the street
 They proceeded toward the residence of the commandant of the port A de- tachment of infantry was immediately summoned and fired on and dispersed the crowd. Simultaneously the agita- tion displayed itself in other equipages of the fleet Sailors began to assemble outside of their barracks, but were persuaded to return to their quarters
 Meanwhile the members of the fourth equipaRe and the populace had reassembled and precipitated themselves towards the arsenal in an endeavor 10 force the gates. but they were again dispersed by the infantry and the quick firinS guns.
 Evidently the movement waN plann- ed, as the moment of the appearance of the rioters a red flag was hoisted on the fort which the rioters occupied. This fort was bombarded and towards 5 53O in the morning the rioters surrendered
 In the course of the conflict with the crowd the following were killed:
 Naval Captains Rodioneff. Dobro- welsizy, Schoumoff and Stayanowsky.
 Wounded: Admiral Beclemscheff Captains Krinttzki and Patan and En- sign Maltzaff."

 Helsingfors, Finland, Aug. 2-There was no firing at sveaborg or the other islands in the vicinity during the night or this morning and no definite news has been received today from the scene of the mutiny. The officials decline to make any statements but 1t is stated from a reliable source that the mutt neers. with the exception of a few on the smaller islands whO have a few guns, have surrendered.
 The prisoners are being landed in patches guarded by loyal troops. They are sullen and seem to have little thought of punishment which awaits them.
 Six civilians with their hands and feet tied were sent ashore last night in the midst of a hail of bullets. Their identity is not known, but 1t Is re- ported that they will be shot imme- diately
 No official report of the casualties is obtainable. but the best authorities say that only fifty soldiers and five of dcers were killed and that 150 men were wounded.
 The town today has resumed It's nor mai aspect. The red guards are keep ing out of sight.

 St. Petersburg. August 2..--The wtid~ est rumors are in circulation. one Of which to the effect that a mrtiny has broken out at cronstadt, has caused tho utmost alarm, which has been increaB- ed by the fact that telephone colnmuni~ cation with Cronstadt Is again Inter- rupted
 It is asserted that four mutinous warships have arrived at Cronstadt and that the guns of that fortress have been trained on them. but that fire has not yet been opened.
 IL Is stated that the garrison of Fort Constantine and Alexander,- at Cron- stadt. received previous to the mutiny. the following telegram in cipher. from sveaborg:
 Prepare yourselves to receive free fleet. We hope to find you friends and not enemies.'
 A reply was sent in the desired sessea and chiefs were chosen from amongst the sailors after the latter had expelled their officers.

Sailors Fought With Riflea Against
 Machine Guns.

Machine Guns.
 St. Petersburg. August, '--According to the afternoon papers six officers were killed during the suppresnlon of the munfty at Cfonstadt. including Colonel Alexandroff and nine were wounded. but 1t Is added that the cas- ualities among the rank and file on both sides were much lighter than re- ported.
 Before seizing the Fort Constantine boat train, the rioters broke into the house of the officers killing some of them and arresting the others. The sappers and miners and the pioneers handled the officers very roughly, tearing off their epaulets and mall treating them.
 The majority of the artillerymen' of Fort Constantine refused to join the mutineers thus prevented the latter from getting control of the fort with the exception of one gun.
 When the storming party under the command of Colonel Sheloff arrived the mutineers were compelled to rely on their rifles with which they replied to the volleys of the loyal troops until the two field guns and three machine guns had been placed in position and opened fire when the mutineers threw up their hands,
 The number of mutineers is given st 2,900 of whom 2,200 were sailors.

 Martial law was proclaimed at Cron- stadt during the day, and all along re- inforcements have been landing there from the mainland. Ne Is per mftted on the island without pass, and although the correspondent of the Associated Press was thus equipped, he was heId-up and searched upon disem- barking from a row boat.
 The correspondent found that ct o'clock yesterday evening there were about 2,00O mutinous sailors barricaded in their barracks, which was surround ed by troops.
 In the Sveaborg mutIny seven com panies of artillery were concerned and of the fortress steamers. the Vietreli, Puskar, Rabotschi, Imgemier and Mars were in the hands of the mutt neers while the Bomba, opit and Svea- borg remained loyal. The opit was furiously bombarded by the mutineers the Bomba at the first opportunity even # she hoisted the red flag. Du- ring the Skatudden Island mutiny, only one, the Finn, of six vessels sta toned in the north harbor. fired on the marine barracks occupied by the mutineers. The others remained pas sive.
 The correspondent made a tour of the city and penetrated toa the bridge connecting with Fort Constantine. He saw sailors laughing from the win dows of the barracks at the beSieging soldiers across the way. Everywhere there was heavy patrols on the streets, but otherwise the thoroughfares were almost empty The people are afraid to ventrue out.
 While passing the arsenal at o'clock in the afternoon the correspondent heard a ragged volley which he sub seouentIy learned had cut short the lives of six prisoners who had been sentenced to death by the drumhead court martial which began sitting at II o'clock in the morning. It was declared that the 300 sailors who had surrend- cred during the night had been shot earlier in the day but 1t was impos- sibIe to obtain absolute confirmation of this statement.
 From eve witnesses on both sides the correspondent learned that in addition to the officers previously mentioned, the losses on the side of the loyal men were six soldiers and two sailors killed and about twenty of both are wounded
 The utmost ferocity was displayed on both sides One of the workmen cried. to the patrol. Don't nre on the turned coldly away and gave the order to shoot the man down.

ACTS VERSUS WORDS,

Mir. Conner says that he was for an elective railroad commission a long time. He fought for 1t. he insists. He appeared at least to be happy when the law was passed. He has now changed front He wants an appointive com mission. Else. why does he not resign now to be effective after the August primary. or after the November elec- tion, in case he should be elected Gov ernor. and let the executive committee provide for the election of his success sor? He wants an appointive commits sion, but wants himself to do the ap- pointing. After all 1t would seem that he was not altogether sincere sew eral years ago when he insisted that an elective commission was the proper thing. He Is really opposed to the appointing of any part of the commis- sion by any person other than himself. Probably this last would have been a better way to have stated his position at first.

CANAL SUPPLIES.

The efforts of the high tariff advo- cates, the stand-patters and trust nurs- es in Congress to prevent any legisla- ton that might initiate against the pockets of the trust benefciaries is almost pathetic. Anything that has the appearance of interfering with the tariff Is lodged or fought to a finish by certain Senators and Representa- tives who seem to know where the but ter comes from that is so thickly plas- tered on their bread.
 The question of purchasing canal supplies has been one of the bones Of contention of late. Looking at 1t from the standpoint of equal and exact jus tice 1t is not right for the government 10 purchase material from foreigners and bring them into the United States without paying import duty while pri- vate individuals are debarred from do- ing so This Is not justice, but from a business standpoint the enormous quantities of supplies of all kinds which must be used in the canal work should be bought In the cheapest market, quality being equal.
 It is this feature of the canal mat ter that Is causing so much contro- versy. Senator Aldrich's resolution directs the government to purchase all canal supplies at home except in cases where in the judgment of the Presi- dent, all bids are exorbitant." Sea
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-06-07


 tor Aldrich is the political foster broth- CT of Roosevelt. and we've no doubt that the resolution was introduced at the request of the latter. It is practi- cally equivalent to saying that all the supplies shall be purchaseds In this country. for we think there is httle prospect that the President would so seriously offend the trusts as to turn down one of their bids on the plea that 1t was exorbitant. If the matter of fixing prices Is left to him we pre- dict that all supplies will be purchased in this country at an additional cost of millions of dollars.
 The amendment proposed by Senator carmack. that "preference shall be given to home products only when they can be bought as cheaply as foreign products is the sensible position from a business point. Our manufacturers can supply materials at as low prices as foreigners can, and if they are not willing to do 1t they should be left out entirely. It Is absurd to leave the President to decide when prices are exorbitant and In our judgment the Aldrich plan will shut out all foreign competition. ff

LAWS DO NOT BOTHER THEM.

EANWS DU NUT BOIHEa THEM.
 The Butte Inter Mountain has this to say of matter which caused some stir in Congress:
 The action of the Secretary of Agri culture in exhausting a Congressional appropriation for new building for hts department and then ordering work involving more cost without ob- serving the formaiity of authority by Congress is indicative of the attitude Of the entire administration. The President set the example of overstep- ping his authority. The policy when he has ignored the constitution coupled with numerous instances in which he has both attempted to usurp and &C., tually has usurped the functions of one of the other coordinate branches of government, has been initiated rather frequently by his cabinet and inferior Federal officials.
 We don't think that it need be Q matter of surprise when a member of the cabinet ignores the Constitution and acts regardless of that instru- ment. for they have had ample preee- dents set for them by their chief It is true enough that a cabinet officer should be above following bad ex- ample, but the President has so often shown his contempt for the Constitu- tion and the laws that we need feel no surprise If those under him catch the same spirit and act on it.
