BELL THAT HAS A HISTORY
Called the People to Arms in 81 and
Tolled Requiem for Lincoln.
Grant and Garfield.

Greenfield, Ind. JdIy 6. Mont
gomery Marsh, of this city, has present
ed the bell that hung in the old court
house steeple to the Presbyterian
church The bell was bought by the
county commissioners in 1858, and it
hung in the court house until the
building was torn down in 1896 It
was then offered for sale as junk.
Marsh opposed this disposition of a
bell that had tolled the death of Lin
coin, Grant, Garfield and other noted
men. and which called the county to
arms when Fort Sumter was fired upon.
The bell was then presented to Marsh
who loaned it to the city as a curfew
bell The older people of the city are
wonderfully attached to the old relic.

BIALYsToK REPORT READ
Stchepkin Finds That the Authorities
! Were CriminaIly Wrong.

Another feature of the session was
the presentation by Stchepkin Of his
report on the Balystok riot. He made
preliminary speech in which he said
that Stolypin's measures were inefii-
cient in the early stages of the riot
and that Police Lieutenant Sherome-
tieff and 'other organizers of the riot
ing at Bialystok' acted under secret in
spiration and influences more powerful
than the minister, plainly indicating
General Trepoff, although his name
was not mentioned.
Stchepkin declared that the evidence
obtained proved the following facts:
First, that no religious race prejudice
existed to warrant the riot; second,
that the rioting was deliberately pre-
pared by accusing the Jews Of being
revolutionists; third, that the day of
the riot was announced in advance by
the authorities; fourth, that the adj
ministration and the troops acted law
lessly in permitting the systematic
killing of peaceful Jews, including wo-
men and children, under the guise of
suppressing a revolution, and that six
of the military and civil authorities not
only assisted, but participated, in muir
ders, tortures and robbery.
In conclusion Stchepkin presented
the recommendation of the commission
that Interior Minister Stolypin an6
War Minister Rudiger be interpeIlated
asking if steps have been taken Il
prosecute the guilty civil and military
officials.
Dispatches received here from Sa
mara state that two regiments garri
soning that important provincial cap
ital have mutinied and presented
series of political and service demands
The officers promised to satisfy tn
service demands if the mutineers woul'
return to duty, but the men replies
that they would be satisfied only wit
compliance with all of their demand:
The situation is complicated by tn
fact that in Samara the revolutionist
are pushing a movement to proclaim
republic in case a general strike is d.
ciared and may seize the present OF
portunity to further their aims.

Minister stolypin Explains.

He explained, ansd constant inter
ruptions from the left, that the chief
of police had telephoned him Wednes-
day night regarding the incident, but
his account differed so widely from
that given by NJ. Sidelnikoff that he
must have further time for investiga-
ton The minister, however, gave the
house his personal assurance that am
pie measures would be taken to assure
the inviolability of members, and IL
the police were guilty in this case they
would be punished. The statement OF
NJ. Stolypin was greeted with cries
from the left of Resign and take the
chief Of police with you," which finally
compelled the minister to cease speak
ing In spite of this M. Stolypin's
frank manner for the first time pro-
voked counter demonstration in favor
of the government. The Interpolation
was adopted.

GONE To VENEZUELA
That Country Probable Destination Of Alleged Cuban Alb
sConderCastrO May Use His Influence to
Prevent Arrest Of SiIVeifa

New York, Oct. 13.-No definite clue
the Cuban who absconded in his own
steamer with s1,0OO,OO0 belonging to
]. M. Ceballos & Co. of this city,
which precipitated the assignment OF
the firm, has been gained. Specula-
ton has been rife, however, as to his
destination and the guess which gains
the most belief is that he has gone to
Venezuela. 1t is stated that Silveira
is a close friend of President, Castro
Of Venezuela and from this it is ar
gued that he will put into Venezue-
Ian port and use the friendship of
Castro as a protection against arrest.
Inquiry among the most, important
houses connected with Cuban affairs
failed to discover any disposition to
regard the failure as indicative Of any
general commercial or financial weak
ness In the island. The most general
idea expressed was that the firm had
itself become over-extended as a re-
suit of a participation in new enter
prises beyond the capacity of It's own
capital. These investments had been
quite large in Cuba and the recent
revolutionary developmnts there had
been too great a strain. So far as the
defalcation of Manuel Silviera was
concerned it seems to be agreed that
the Intervention by the United States
government had upset some very am
bilious plans in that direction. What
these plans were is not known, but
they were supposed to be connected
with the success of the revolutionists.
