ed explanation of how the Nadine let

ants in many provincial districts have
decided to send delegates to St. Peters
burg to investigate present conditions
aud learn what are the governments in
tentions. They will then advise the
peasants at home what attitude to as
sumo, and let them know what they
may expect.
The newspapers which have escaped
suppression at the hands of the govern
ment continue to criticise the govern
ment, but Premier Stolypin is not at
tempting to bride them.
There is practically no change today
in the situation throughout Russia. Dis
orders are reported from several quarters
but nothing approaching general up
rising has been attempted, and the gov
eminent still has the situation well in
hand.
In the meantime, fresh mutinies
among the troops at various stations,
uprisings on the part of the peasants in
hitherto unaffected districts, and out
breaks among the workmen in various
labor centres have occurred to make the
task OF governing the country more diff
cult and to arouse the people to oppose
the government by force when the prop
er time for resorting to force arrives.

MONDAY EVENING. JULY 30, 1906.

THAT genial trust magnate' T. d.
Gary. chairman of the board OF d.
rectors of the United States Steel Cor
poratiou, before sailing for Europe gave
a glimpse of trust prosperity. He stated
that the steel trust had received IN
the month of June new business oil
nearly 100 per cent more than 10 the
corresponding month of last year. de
further said that the net earnings OF
the trust for the year will be between
$40, 900, 900 and $3.50, 0OO, 900 as COM
pared with the previous high record
of $lSS, 900, 900. Thus this pulling in
FAINT industry, which the republican
tariff protects from competition by duties
of 20 to SO per cent, is allowed to extort
from the people about $3.50, OOO, 900 pro-
fits after paying all expenses, including
the payment of $1S, 24O, 900 for interest
and sinking fund on outstanding oonds
at per cen: interest. This will leave
over 10 per cent that can be paid as
a dividend on the outstanding common
and preferred stock which amounts to
s1,OI8, 500, 200, more than half OF which
is VIGOROUSLY wstered stock, so that the
interest earned on the actual money
invested is rs per cent. The tsrlt
profits of the steel trust are estimated
t. exceed $75, 900, 900, so if the whole
tariff schedule on iron and steel was
cut down 80 per cent, thereby reducing
the tariff profits to $37, 500, 600, the
steel trust would still be making nearly
500, 900, 900 profit. The steel trust
of course would declare they you'd be
ruined if such a proposition was before
Congress, and the republicans would
vote against such a bill for tariff re-
duction, but if the democrats elect
majority of the members of Congress
this fall, that will be one OF the
tariff reform measures that the trust and
its republican friends will have to meet.
Can any disinterested person say 1t Is
not a fair proposition and square deal
all around?

elf JUpGED by bis charities, Russell
Sage will be doomed to eternal unhap-

of st. Luke's Lutheran Church, IN
York, Pa, in an address Saturday night.
Rev. Bell characterized the dead fnan-
cer as poor miserable, mean-minded
man. and if his future heavenly JOY will
be in proportion to his charities, despised
while on this earth, Russell Sage will be
doomed to eternal unhsppiness. The
pastor also said: 81 am OF the opinion
that the members of this church and all
other churches should ont only pray for
Mrs. Sage. who has inherited the i'm
mense wealth, but that they should in
diyidually write to her and point out the
wonderful opportunities she DOW has tor
giving charities for deserving purposes. "
Most people, church members as well as
nor. commandments, see no just reason for
such a judgment upon the part OF a
minister of the gospel Russell Sage may
have given much in an unostentatious
way to worthy causes, and in doing 50
carried ont the injunction proclaimed on
the monnt The pastor called upon the
members of his flock to write TO Mrs.
Sage and direct her how to dispose al
her money. This would be impertinent

her through the head. Next he caught
the little three-year-Old boy Robert and
shot him through che body. Even the
baby in the cradle did not escape, and
he put bullet through the head OF

was cool and cunning enough to seek to
hide the evidence of the crime, telling
