Grand Forks, N. D., Aug 1.-Grand
Forks jobbers are to be given an OPP
poftunity to reach points on the 500,
the announcement being made yes
terday that the Great Northern and
the 500 will unite in the construction
ofa transfer track at Ardoch, through
which all shipments for 500 points
will be made. AS soon as this track
is finished a joint distributing rate
from Grand Forks to all points on the
500, east and west, will be put into
effect While it is not known def
nitely what this rate will be it was
announced with considerable show of
authority that it would be about the
same as the distance tariff on the
Great Northern.
Cars will be loaded at the Great
Northern yards here for 500 points the
same as they are loaded for Great
Northern points, and there viii be no
transfer at Ardoch. This is a conces-
sion that the Grand Forks jobbew
have been urging for some time, and
1t Is understood that several of them
will in the future pay considerable
more attention to 500 territory as a
result Work on the transfer track is
to be started at once and the new ar
rangement will be effective within a
short time.

Helsingfors, Finland, Aug. 1.-The
fight between the mutineers and the
loyal troops was waged during the
most of the past night The cannon
ade was heavy and the firing of the
guns furnished an awe inspiring spec
tacle to the thousands lining the points
of vantage on Observatory hill.
The loyal minority seemed to com
mand the forts on NichoIai island
which was engaged in duel with
Sandham's formidable masked batter>
les. At ! O'Clock this morning they
were still exchanging broadsides at
ten minutes intervals.
The victims transported to HeIslna-
fors numbered less than fifty of whom
fifteen are dead. but thus far the NUM-
Der of killed or wounded in Sveaborg
hospitals has not been ascertainable.
Order has been restored at Skadud-
den island, where 10 sailors and
eleven civilians have been disarmed.
From a civilian point of view the
local situation is easier.
No cruisers are visible.
The troops are expected here, but
destruction of bridge near the Rihi-
maeld railroad station and the tear
ing up of the permanent way at sew

Inducements. The town is quiet and
business is proceeding, but the work

The naval squadron, including the
battleship Slava, is reported to have

Cummins Is Sure to Be
RenOminated.
CONCEDED BY OPPONENTS
PERKINS FOLLOWERS, WHILE
ADMITTING HIS DEFEAT, STILL
HOPE TO CONTROL coNvEN.
TON AND DICTATE OTHER
NOMINATIONS.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. There is
little doubt apparently that Gov A.
b. Cummins will be renominated AT
the republican state convention here
today, but beyond this the friends of
Geo, B. Perkins or the stand patters,"
viii concede nothing. According to
them some delegates who are instruct
ed to vote for Cummins will do So. but
will be free to act as they please re-
gardng the organization of the con-
ventiOn.
Never before in the history of the
state has a republican state conyen-
ton attracted SO much general inter-
est in the party and attracted such a
host of politicians as the present con-
vention. This is due to the bitter fac
tional fight between the stand par
ters' and the "progressives," which is
being Waged in this state and which
will reach it's elimination i'm todav's
convention.
The convention has been called to
nominate one candidate each for the
positions of governor, lieutenant gov
ernor secretary Of state, auditor of
state, treasurer Of state, attorney gem
eral, clerk Of the supreme court, SUI
perintendent of public instruction and
reporter OF the supreme court and two
candidates each for judge of the su-
preme court and railroad commission
er. The principal contest is, of course,
over the nomination for governor.
There are two candidates in the field,
Governor Cummins and George ID.
Perkins. For weeks the two factions
have been carrying on an extremely
bitter campaign throughout the state
and seldom has a campaign in this
state been of such a personal character
as this.
When the convention was called to
order this forenoon, 1910 delegates
were i'm attendance.
Chairman Spence of the state CEN
tral committee called the delegates to
order and named H. NJ. Towner for
chairman.
ToWner made a speech I'm which he
advocated party harmony in order that
a united front might be presented to
the enemy.
The Cummins men had majority
Of ten delegates in the second district,

EXCITED AT ST. PErERseuRe.
Movement Thought to Be Signal for
General Revolt.

St Petersburg, Aug. 1.-The great
est excitement prevails here as the
result of the startling news from Svea-
borg and there is the deepest appre-
hension regarding the situation at
Cronstadt as there is little doubt that
the rising Of the garrison Of the "Gi-
braltar of Baltic" was a premature at
tempt to execute widespread military
conspiracy which involves the seizing
of the fortresses of Sveaborg, Cron-
stadt and Sevastopol
The squadron is understood to be
under the personal command of Grand
Duke Alexander Michaeloviteh, broth
er-in-law of Emperor Nicholas. A
telegram claiming to be from the COM
mander of the fortress has been re-
ceived here but its meaning Is not
clear The dispatch saysA
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:
For time with a portion Of the
crews locked below the decks the 10y
al members of the crews fired upon
the mutineers.p
If the Revai squadron joined the
mutineers there is little hope of re-
gaining possession of the Sveaborg
fortress, where il is claimed six conn
panies Of loyal troops are holding out
on Commander Island against the mu-
tineers.

Condemnation proceedings were

are handling the matter are likely TO
be accepted. The military men want
a side track 500 feet in length built
at the reservation, and have offered to
grant the desired right-of- at SIS
