for the revolving Black Sea and Baltic
fleets. Altho all communications with
Cronstadt were severed during the
night, it is learned that the summons
to revolt was issued there. The chief
point now in doubt is whether the
main part of the Baltic fleet, consist
ing of battleship and three cruisers,
which We're hurriedly sent, have joined
in rebellion. The squadron is said to
be under personal command of Grand
Duke Alexander Michaelovitch broth

received here but it's meaning is not
clear. The dispatch says: THE entire
crews of four warships have mutinied."
Other dispatches mention the crews of
the torpedo boat destroyers and other
ships on the spot, as revolving, while
another dispatch says:

RUMoR is CONFIRMED
M. Horzenstein, Former Member Of
Outlawed Russian Parliament, Was
Assassinated by Members Of the
Black Hundred Organization -
Daughter Slightly Wounded.

sSt. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-The report
Of the murder of NJ. Horzenstein, a
member of the outlawed parliament, in
which he was a prominent leader of
the constitutional democrats, is con-
firmed. 1t turns out that he was as
sassinated at his country house near
Terioki, Finland, by men in the pay
of the Black Hundred organization.
Horzenstein was walking along the
seashore with his wife and daughter,
when several shots were fired at him
from an unoccupied building. Horzen-
stein was hit twice and fell dead. His
daughter was wounded in the hand.
The murderers escaped. A remarkable
fact is that three hours prior to the
murder telephone message was re-
ceived at a newspaper office from
Moscow, asking for news of Horzen-
stein, saying it was reported in Mos
COW that he had been assa ssinated.
Horzenstein was of Jewish descent
srnd very wealthy. His attacks on the
minister of finance in the lower house
of parliament attracted widespread at
tention.

Helsingfors, Augj 1.-The fight be-
was waged during most of the night
The cannonade was heavy, the firing
of guns furnishing an awe-inspiring
spectacle 10 the thousands lining the
points of vantage on Observatory hill
Tha loyal minority seemed in COM
mand of the forts on Nicholai Island

the Sandhamms formidable masked
batteries at 10 o'clock this morning,
and they are still exchanging broad
sides at ten-minute intervals. The vic
tins transported to Helsingfors num-
bered less than fifty. of whom fifteen
are dead. but the number of killed or
wounded In the Sveaborg hospitals has
not been ascertainable.
Order has been restored at Skaud-
den Island. where ITO sailors and elev-
en- civilians have been disarmed. From
the civilian point of view the local sit
uation is easier. No cruisers are Wis
ible. and destruction of the bridge near
the railroad station. and the tearing UP
of the permanent way at several points
delays the arrival of reinforcements.
The town is quiet, and business is pro-
ceeding, but workmen are on strike.
The diet at sitting late last night
issued an earnest warming to the pop
ulation to abstain from participation
in acts which might gravely affect the
whole country. The revolt, it is point
ed out, occurred on the anniversary of
the mining disaster. which was caused
by recklessness Of some officers and
resulted in the loss of a dozen lives.
Copies of the Viborg manifesto of the
outlawed parliament are being dis
tributed among the Cossacks, who qui-
etly put them in their pockets. The
naval squadron, including the battle
ship Slava, is reported to have sailed
from Reval today for SveaIborg.
The telegraph building here has been
ruined, and barracks and the cathedral
badly damaged by the fire of 11-inch
guns The numbers of wounded and
killed probably have been over esti-
mated. The socialists are on the alert,
and town people are in fear Of a can-
nonade If the naval squadron arrives
here. There was panic all day long
yesterday among the summer residents
on the islands of the archipelago, ow
ing to the fall of stray bullets and
shells, which caused number of cas-
ualties, both on the islands and vicin-
ity. For more than week the Rus
sian revolurionists have been working
among the troops, distributing the VII
borg and 9. group Of toll manifestos.

fication is still in progress 1t is i'm
possible from the shore to ascertain
the exact situation.
The only reinforcements which have
arrived here are two companies of a
Finnish regiment. which reached here
yesterday.

NO DECISION ANNOUNCED.
Railroad Officials Adjourn Conferences
With Commerce Commission.

Washington, Aug AFTER further
conference today, the railroad officials
who have been discussing with the in
terstate commerce commission the in
depreciation and enforcement Of the
new railroad rate law, adjourned their
meeting. Little Of a definite nature
was accomplished at the conference.
Railroad officials were informed today
that at this time, and in the absence
of some members of the commission,
no decision could be announced as to
the requests made of the commission as
body They were directed to make
every reasonable effort to comply with
the provisions of the law at the time
it goes into effect on the 9th instant.
There are indications that if it should
be found impracticable for the railroads
to comply absolutely with the act at
the time specified in the law, they will
be given a reasonable grace by the
commission.

Convention Convenes.
Never did Il convention convene In
more peaceable mood. Chairman
Spence called it to order There was
prayer by DR.. Frisbe, and Charles
Junkin read the formal call. Then
Chairman Spence started Judge
Towner off on his speech without ask
ing the convention as to
what it desired. Nobody
made objection and Towner was greet
ed with great applause. The state
committee has determined upon pro-
gram of exclusion from the convention
of the Cummins delegates from Wap-
clio. Jasper. Jefferson, Dallas and Au-
include the Perkins delegates from
those counties. In view Of this fact the
Cummins men decided they would
make no objection to he temporary
organization, but would submit all
matters to the credentials committee.
Shaw Hit.
The convention became almost SEN
sational when Chairman Towner after
naming all the standpat members Of
congressman and the senators and
giving them great credit declined to
name the progressive members of cor
gress. Am uproar ems led. When he
mentioned the two members of the
cabinet there was applause. but Shaw's
name was later rouud1y Kissed by the
convention.
Towner Applauded.
During the speech of Towner there
was much applause, especially from
the standpatters. At the mention Of
the names of the Iowa senators and
congressman there was much enthu-
siasm displayed When he mentioned
Shaw and Wilson the applause was
loud, but when he went on to single
Shaw for special mention, there were
misses mingled with the cheers. When
he declared his belief that the factional
quarrel in the party has come to an
end he was greeted With a storm Of
applause.
Clarke for Chairman.
Speaker George W. Clarke, head Of
the Dallas county delega ton, which the
titled to seats, has been chosen as per-
manent chairman by the committee.
On calling the convention to order
at p. m, it was announced the cre-
dentials committee would not be ready
for an hour and half and a recess
was taken until 80 o'clock

Marshall County Delegation to State
Convention Refuse to Vote for His
Reelection as Committeeman and
His Alleged Election is Open to
Question.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. 1.-The Reputation
Of State Central Committeeman Esta-
brook and a sensational division of the
Rathbun delegates in Linn county, was
the result of the Fifth district caucus.
Seventeen of the Rathbun delegates
refused to be bound by their county
caucus and voted with the solid Cum
Minis counties of Tama. Grundy and
Marshall in protest against the rail-
road slate.
b. Murphy, of Vinton, was the rail-
road candidate for member of the
committee on credentials. The Rath-
bun chairman of Linn county's delega-
ton tried to vote AZ votes for Muir
ply. A row ensued and fifteen of the
Linn men voted for Mr.. Will Nee. o.
Tama. With the solid vote of Mar
shall, Tama and Grundy, Nee got 90
and Murphy ~. The other nomina-
tions were passed without protest until
b. Murphy nominated Estabrook of
Marshalltown, to succeed himself as
a member OF the state central commit
tee. The Linn insurgents nominated
Haskell. of their county. Marshall re-
pudiated Estabrook by seconding
Linn's nomination.
On the vote Tama, Grundy and Mar
shall and seventeen in Linn voted for
Haskell, failing by just two votes at
CT and SO. Before Chairman Esta-
brook had himself announced the re-
suit, a Marshall delegate called for
second poll of Linn, claiming an error
in the count, as the newspaper mems
tally showed a tie. B. Murphy moved
to adjourn and in order to save him.
self Estabrook declared the meeting
adjourned without permitting a vote
to be taken The Cummins men Of
Marshall county and the district had
repudiated the man who had secured
the office under the guise of Cum
minis man, but who had voted the rail-
road slate ever since holding office and
who had voted for two days for the
notorious Ed Hunters plan to throw
out five Cummins counties and steal
the convention.

COMMITTEES DECISION.
MIST Of the Fake Contests Are Thrown
Out,

Special to Times-Re publican.
Des Moines, Aug. THE state CEN
trail committee shortly after midnight
last night announced it's decision as to
the contests, voting to place on the
temporary roll of the state convention
the Perkins delegates from Dallas,
Audubon, Jasper, Jefferson and Wa
pello counties, and the Cummins dele
gates from Polk, Boone, Scott, Car
roll, Delaware, Allamakee and Lyon
counties. The vote on Dallas and
Audubon counties was close.
This decision of the committee seats
So Perkins delegates out of the 266
that were put in contest and protest,
and $50 Cummins delegates. The de-
cision also gives Governor Cummins
857 delegates on the temporary roll Of
the convention or 36 more than a ma
jority.
An attempt was made to reconsider
the vote by which the Perkins dele
gates were seated in Dallas county,
county the committee adjourned until
o'clock this evening. If Dallas had
been included in the progressive COL
ulllH uHle CufilllllS' men would nave
been disposed to accept the result, but
they recognized the placing of Dallas
in the Perkins column was an attempt
to give the progressives such a slight
majority that the nomination of Garst
for lieutenant governor was endan-'
gered. There was in reality no grounds
for contest in Dallas, the governor
having carried the county against the
most shameful manipulation Of the
standpatters.
The proceedings of Tuesday before
the state committee with reference to
the contests would have been much
more interesting If they had not closely
paralleled the record made on Monday.
But the people ha6 grown weary of the
succession of presentation of fakes,
and with the novelty worn off there
was little left Besides the conviction
had settled upon most of the republic
cans present that the contest PROPOSE
ton had degenerated into nothing else
than a scheme for killing time until
deals of various sorts could be made or
it was decided that the fight was hope
less.
