weapons in subduing the sedition of
the Zulus as the British guns, judging
fromthe display given recently by Ma.

The navties were awe stricken and

the Almighty and said that God has
turned it upon them in his anger.
The flashing Of the light on the sur.

their faces, covered and fell on the

were 2751 manufacturing establish
1ents, capitalized at $96, 1852, 621, whose
aggregate output was valued at $685..
S21,6S7; five years previous there were
only 1925 establishments, capitalized
at Sal, 574,744, and their output reach.
ed only $7O.S31.345.
Seattle leads all three cities, both in
amount of capital invested and in
value of products, but its percentage
increase is far below Tacoma and Spo-
kane. Manufacturers in Tacoma have
increased 121 per cent in the past five
years. in Spokane 1876 per cent, and in
Seattle but 65 per cent.
The report shows that Seattle now

ming industry shows a decline in out
put and capitalization. the output last

nearly $5,000,000 in 1900. Railroad ex.
tion has given an impetus to foundrles
and machine shops, their capital more
than doubling in five years to $685.
553, and their product showing an in.
crease in value of 60 per cent, to 49,.
S66,379.

RUSSIAN ADMIRAL
Stabbed TO Death

the workmen, whose May day demon.

The admirla was killed at the new

Monday momrning they wanted immed
lately to march out and celebrate the
Russian May day, but finally .argeed to
work until 2 p. m.
The admiral, however. made a
speech to the men, ing that he could
not agree to their leaving work at Q
O'Clock and the matter was left open.
At about $3.50 a. NJ, according to an
officer who was at the gate Of the
works, the ADMIRAL was emerging from
small shop when workman who
had been concealed around THE corner
Of the building leaped upon Kuzmmich
from behind and drove long dagger
into his back.
Inc admiral fell forward on his face
which was badly cut by stones, and
died Immediately.
The assassin fled into large forge.

norance Of his identity. The police say
it is evident that the assassination of
the admiral had been planned in ad.
vance.
The dagger, which WAS found on the
pot, was concealed In round stick like
sword canae. Among the workmen are
many former sailors and revoultionists.
Kuzmich had bad reputation among
the workmen, being regarded as hard
and despotic.
Admiral Kuzmich participated in
the Russo-Turkish war, and in 1909
was second flag officer Of the Port Ar.
thur fleet. He returned to st. Peters.
burg in 1908 and was appointed com.
mander of the port. Politically, he
