LATE RUSSIAN NEWS.

ST, Petersburg, August l6-Today' s
dispatches from Poland are hardly
less grave than those Of last night. AT
Lodz, after the police station had been
blown up and burned, the Cossacks
and other troops fired volleys into
the crowds, and more or less street
fighting followed, The number Of cas-
ualties are not given, At Warsaw
also street fighting occurred today, es-
pecially in the Jewish quarters, the
revolutionists using bombs against the
police and troops. One hundred and
fifty persons are reported to have been
wounded by rifle fire, and thirty by

HOW FERGUSON WON OUT.
Geissler, Machine Candidate Elimin-
ated from Contest.

Alva, Okla, August 16.-Returns
from the various precincts in the coun-
ty indicate that Thompson B. Fergu-
son has carried the republican con-
gressional primaries by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Arthur H. Geissler, his
chief opponent, lives in this county,
and is thus probably eliminated from
the contest. Geissler carried his own
township by close vote after the
hardest kind of fight. The remain
der of the county was so strongly for
Ferguson that this township can do
Geissler no good.
Geissler was the candidate upon
whom the Mcclure forces in the Sec
ond district had centered to beat Fer
guson. His decisive defeat in his
own county indicates that Ferguson
will have a walk-over in the district.
Political interest in the territory
has been entirely centered upon this
district for several weeks, owing to
the strenuous efforts of the Mcclure
organization to prevent the nomina-
ton of Ferguson. They had adopted
the well known device of springing
a local candidate in each of the coun-
ties. The other candidates for the
place are Ledru Guthrie of Oklahoma
City, Jim Thompson of Caddo coan-
ty, VIM. Maurer, C. R. Alexander, A.
R. Musseller and George Heasley.

DISCUSS THE ENCYcL1cAL.
French Minister of Public Worship
Gives Opinion.

Paris, August 16.-M. BRAND, the
minister Of public worship, today dis
cussed with several of his political
supporters the pope's encyclical let
ter, with reference to the law for the
separation of church and state. M.
BRAND denied that the government
is disposed TO negotiate with the pope
for modification of the law, which
he declared must be applied as ii now
stands. NJ BRAND added that the
government believes the law will be
accepted in the end and he sincerely
desires that il should be so on account
Of the strife which the refusal of the
clergy to accept the law would en-
tail. He declared also that he has
foreseen the possibility of resistance
and has taken all necessary steps.

DEBATE ON wIRs MONUMENT
Tanner Opposes the Erection, but Of
fetal Notice Will Be Taken.

Minneapolis, Mimi, August 16.-lt
is expected that debate on the Wirs
monument proposition will come up
tomorrow at the veterans reunion.
Despite the fact that Commander
in-Chief Tanner strongly urged that
protest be made against the erection
of monument, there is a pronounced
feeling that the matter is not one of
which the Grand Army should take
official notice.
The new commander-in-chief Of the
Grand Army of the Republic, R. B.
Brown, was born in 1845, and has
always lived in Ohio. TIE enlisted in
the Fifteenth Ohio infantry at the
age of sixteen, and served in the Fonr-
teenth army corps of the army Of the
Cumberland until he was mustered
out in 1864. He then re-enlisted and
served until the end of the war. He
was a private for three years, and
then became non-commissioned Of
ficer. He has long been active in
the work of the Grand Army. Brown
is now editor of the GAINESVILLE Cour-
Ter.

A TEXAS RACE
!. WAR IS FEARED
CITIZENS OF BROWNSVILLE BUY
400 RIFLES.
People LEAVING HOMES
Additional Appeal Is Made to Giver
nor Lanham to Send National
Guard to Scene.

Brownsville, Texas, August 16.-
Further trouble is feared here with
negro troops. A citizens guard OF
$50 men is stationed along the road
between this city and Fort Brown,
and if the negroes attempt to leave
the garrison it is the avowed purpose
of the people to shoot them down
Four hundred rifles were sold to citi-
zens of the city yesterday. A report
that the officers of the garrison are
themselves afraid of negro troops has
determined the citizens to take no
chances. Many people are leaving
their homes on the side Of the city
near Fort Brown. An additional APP
peal is being made to Governor Ian
ham to send state troops. Business is
nearly suspended in the city. 1t is
reported that Texas National Guard
troops now attending the maneuvers
at Camp Mabry are clamoring to be
sent to Brownsville. Sensational ru-
more have inflamed the militiamen,
and il is now believed that negro raid
ers committed the recent acts in
Brownsville in retaliation for the re-
ported intention of Texas militiamen
to use ball cartridges in event the
United States permitted negro troops
to participate in Camp Mabry maneu-
vers. Adjtitant General Hulin consid-
ers il unwise to send the state troops
to Brownsville.

When Colonel Munson was asked the

son believes it is too early for candi-
dates for public favor to enter upon
active campaigning, his course is de-
termined and he has no delicacy or oh,
lection to an unequiYocal statement oil
the fact. For the past year he has
been pressed for a declaration OF his
intentions, but deferred his answer
until he had asceTtained the trend OF
sentiment Of administration men ana
the real wishes of the people. He
now feels that, in justice to hlmselr
and friends, and in response to public
sentiment, he is fully warranted in be-
coming a candidate. Before entering
upon a campaign to succeed himself,
Governor Davidson preferred 10 &C
quaint himself with the duties of his

demonstrate to the people that he is
animated by desire TO give them a

Having decided to become a candidate,
his platform will be plain and in har-
Imony with his public record from the
time he entered the legislature in
1898 to the present moment.
He takes pride in the fact that, as

Under the Hepburn bill it is proyid-
ed that an order of the commission

plated that a law shall be passed
which shall take away the right of
common carriers to apply for an in

an agreement that would correct what
they term an injustice. but insist that
they are not holding out for any partic-
ular phraseology.
Having ascertained that an amend.
ment for that purpose, no matter how
worded, will not be accepted by the
supporters Of the Hepburn bill, it was
agreed yesterday that conferences be-
tween the two factions are waste of

they are ready for yote on the bill

SALOONS CONTROL
CHICAGO COUNCIL
SUBMIT TO SLIGHT INCREASE OF
LICENSE FEE.
FIGHT NOT YET DECIDED
Measure for $1,000 License to Come
Up Again and Campaign Against
Crime Will Have Another Chance
Cheap Gas Ordinance Passed Over
Veto.

Chicago, H., Feb. 15.--The city
council, al a special meeting yester-
day, took action on three important
propositions affecting the city The
ordinance fixing the price of gas at IS
cents, instead of 80 cents and ST. as
heretofore, passed over the mayors
veto by vote of 81 to 10; an ordi-
nance placing the saloon license at
5000, instead of $500, the present
figure, and instead of $1,000, as desired
by high license advocates. was adopt
ed by a vote of 80 to 50. but Mayor
Dunno ruled that the measure failed
of passage because it did not receive
SO votes, a constitutional majority.
The 81 600 license ordinance was then
reintroduced but it was referred to
the committee to be presented again
at the next meeting OF the council, on
February 26.
In addition 10 the gas and license
questions the council 2iso considered
the municipal ownership matter, and
ordered that the question of voting
100000 600 for the purchase or the
Eu set railways be submitted at the
next city election. Nothing VIII be
determined by the vote except the
opinion Of the majority Of the voters
of the city regarding municipal owner
ship. The Importance of the pending
measures and the excitement which
has attended their agitation drew an
enormous crowd to the city hall late
in the day. Special guards Of police
men were stationed around the build,
ing and all the doors were guarded in
order TO prevent a dangerous jam in
side the building, but despite these
precautions The council chamber and
the hallway outside were packed to
suffocation. The excitement was such
at times that the police were com
PEELED to remove disorderly people
from the Railways, and one man who
persisted in being noisy was locked
up.
The greatest excitement vas over
the saloon license matter. The numer-
ous crimes that have been perLe,rated
against women in this city o. late
have aroused much feeling, and 1t
was believed by many people that The
raising Of the saloon license fee from
$500 to 81, zoo would wipe out many
saloons in disreputable sections Of the
city which have been harboring places
for criminals The saloon men have
been ranged solidly against the $Lo0s
and although the fight
has been In progress but a few weeks
it was intensely bitter. When the
matter came up yesterday both sides
were represented by hundreds Of PEG
pie who packed the council chamber
aud corridors. The council commit
tee presented the majority report IA
voring a license fee Of $1,000, and q
minority report placing 1t at $500.
Il was this latter that passed, and
the announcement Of the vote was re-
ceived with cheers by the saloon peo
pie. The mayor, however, ruled against
its adoption for the reasons stated,
