SCENES SETTLED
WOMAN HOLDS UP CASHIER OF
ST. PETERSBURG BANK BY PoK-
ING A PISTOL THROUGH A WIN
DOW AND DEMANDING CASH.

st. Petersburg, August 13.-Indieations
at the meeting of the central committee
of the old octoberist party. which closed
today, point to the amalgamation of the
octoberists with the new peaceful party
of regenerationists and the acceptance of
the programme drawn up by Count Hey
den. M. Guchkoff and others All the
speakers at the meeting of the COMMITTEES
expressed themselves as In favor of this
plan, and resolutions were adopted to
transmit an appeal to the regnerationists
of all the provincial local committees
to request a vote on the question OF
union of the two parties.
1t had been hoped that the conservative
wing of the constitutional democrats were
disposed to insist upon formal abjuration
of the constitutional democratic party on
the ground that it had prostituted itself
to revolutionary ideals, and shipwrecked
the parliament.
The police of st. Petersburg today cap
tured a wooden model OF a field gun which
had been used for the training of a COM
pany of revolutionary artilleryists. The
police also seized a factory which was
engaged in making shells and bombs, of
which fifty and a quantity of dynamite
and pyroxiline were captured.
A daring robbery on railway cashier
occurred here today. A well dressed wom-
an approached the cashiers window.
showed a revolver under the nose of the
official and took $1,000 in money with which
she escaped.

RAPID TRANSIT MEN
WILL DEFY COURTS
BUT NEW YORK POLICE HAVE OR
DERs TO ENFORCE THE LfW
AND NOT ALLOW COLLIE IN
OF EXTRA FARE.

New York, August 1S.-As a resu, the

almost to a riot on Coney Island of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit CONF yes
terday. when sew, thonsend rsons
were elected fr,r WI N . .efused
to pay 10 cent lages, Acting Police Com
missioner Waldo today revoked permits
granting the company power to employ
sixty special policemen who assisted in
putting off the cars passengers who re-
fused to pay the double fare.
These special policemen wore uniforms
almost Identical with those OF the regular
policemen. They were stationed at points
along the line where the second fare was
collected. Those who refused to pay and
insisted on continuing their Journey were
seized and forcibly elected. Justice Gay
nor of the supreme court ruled Saturday
that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit had no
right to demand double fare. Mr.. Waldo
said today that the cent fare ruling
would be enforced.
The police department" he said, will
arrest every employe or agent of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company who as
saults a citizen. The police will deal with
them just as any other violators of the
law would be dealt with And as many
of the companys employees will be ar
rested as seems necessary"
]. F. Calderwood. vice president and
general manager of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company, said today that the
company will do business the same as
before the court ruling was made The
company will collect the second fare, he
declared.

Labor Question is Paramount.

Oyster Bay, August 13.-Chairman
Shonts of the isthmian canal copmission
said after visit to the President at Sag
amore Hill today that he had given the
President report up to date of the pro-
gress of the canal work in Panama. The
question of most Importance now con-
fronting the commission he said was that
of obtaining labor.
I'VE shall advertise at once for 25e0
Chinese laborers in China, he said, "and
give laborers of that nationality a thor
ough trial at the work. 1t has been re-
ported to us that they will be more salts
factory than any class of laborers we
have yet tried. The Jamaican negroes
whom we have given an extensive trial,
have not proved satisfactory. The Span
ish laborers whom We are working now
TO a great extent are very much better
than the Jamaica negroes. We shall en-
deavor to have laborers of as many ma
tionalties as we can get to work on the
canal as 1t is better than having large
force of one nationality"
Chairman Shonts said that the new
steam shovels ordered some time ago
were arriving on the isthmus and were
Immediately being installed. The dirt is
coming out of Culebra cut so rapidly that
great difficulty was being found in dis
posing of it.

BULGARIA FIGHTS
GREEKS At CHURCH
BOTH SIDES LOSE HEAVILY AND
SITUATION GROWS so SERIOUS
THAT DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
MAY BE BROKEN OFF.

London, August ia dispatch from
Vienna to London news agency states
that the disturbances at Ahiolu on August
70 were the result Of an anti-Grecian
demonstration which the Greeks sought
to break up by rife shooting. Prolonged
fighting ensued, both sides losing heavily
in killed and wounded. The Bulgarians
then set fire to the town In four places.
The Grecan cloisters OF st. George was
stormed during the singing of a te deum.
The situation finally became so serious
that troops had to be summoned from
Burgas.
The Greeks held a meeting at which
1t was decided to arm themselves with
rifles and revolvers for the defense of
their churches and cloisters, and TO blow
up the churches rather than allow them
to fall into the hands of the Bulgarians.
The dispatch adds that a. Rustichuck, 90
600 Bulgarians tried to storm the Greek
consulate. but were driven off by the
troops
A dispatch from Vienna to the same
agency says that the news of the excesses
against the Greeks in Eastern Roumania
causes much excitement and Indignation.
adding that 1t Is expected that Greece
will be compelled to break on diplomatic
relations with Bulgaria.

Ready to Begin the Fight.

Paris August 13.-Wiliam Jennings
Bryan today gave out a statement con-
cerning controversy respecting the Illi-
nois democratic national committeeman
The controversy has grown out of Mr..
Bryan's letter demanding the resignation
of national committeeman Roger sulli-
van, to which demand Mr.. Sullivan re-
turned a prompt refusal stating that Mr..
Bryan had been misinformed respecting
the situation of Mr.. Dunlap.
Mr.. Bryan's rejoinder says that no one
but himself is responsible for the intor-
nation contained in his letter and that
he had intended to ask Mr.. Sullivan to
resign before he should see Mr.. Dunlap.
Mr.. Bryan added:
sI entered into this contest because
believed that Roger Sullivan and John
Hopkins had deliberately robbed the DEM
ocrats of Illinois of their political right,
and / still believe SO. To secure the
present political power by force or fraud
ought to be as disgraceful IN the eyes
of the public as to secure money by force
or fraud. [ cannot conceive of any plaus-
jble defense which Mr.. Sullivan can make
for remaining on the national committee.
II the body Is unable to rid itself OF the
leadership of men like Sullivan, who seek
to control the party organization IN order
to advance their corporate interests, 1t
might as well dissolve. While l was an
xious to give Sullivan chance TO retire
without a fight. 1t is probably Just as
well that he refused for II we must hgnt
to purify the party organization the
sooner 1t begins the better
The statement adds an expression OF
confidence and approval on the work OF
the majority rule league and of Messrs-
Dunlap. Raney, Thompson and Nelson.
The controversy between Mr.. Bryan ana
Mr.. Sullivan grows out of a contest for
seats In the national democratic conven-
tion In St Louis in 1901 when against tho
protests of Mr.. Bryan, the Illinois dele
CATION led by Messrs. Hopkins and sulli-
van was seated.
