ORGANIZED MUNICIPAL MILITARY
LEAGUE AT WORK IN THE
RUSSIAN ARMY.

sHlPOFF LIKELY TO SUc-
cEED GOREMYklN.

st. Petersburg, July ALL doubt o1
the existence of an organized munich
pal military league, which is inspiring
mutinies and uprisings in the army
has been set at rest by the discovery
OF the seal and documents of the
league during the search of soldiers at
tached to staff headquarters at wilma
and detailed to various regiments OF
the Third corps. War Minister Rudi
ger has ordered strict investigation tC
be made of all detachments of troops
In order to determine the extent of the
revolutionary propaganda and the best
methods Of counteracting 1t.
Martial law has been proclaimed at
Odessa on account of the foment
among the troops there.
The administrative and the parlia-
mentary views of the Bialystok ex.
cesses have just been published, the
first in the report of Baron Frisch,
president of the council of the empire,
to Minister of the Interior Stolypin,
published in the Official Messenger,
and the latter in the report of the par
liamentary committee. Although they
differ in many respects they unite in
holding certain officials, or at least
inferior police officers, guilty of incit-
ing and participating in the excesses.
1t is significant that Shiremetieff, pre-
feet of police at Bialystolk, has heen
summoned to st. Petersburg.
Discrepancy in Statements.
There is a slight discrepancy in the
statement of casualties. According to
the report of Baron Frisch, 80 were
killed, of whom Is were Jews, and IS
wounded, of whom 60 were Jews,
while the property loss is placed at
100000; whereas the parliamentary
committee reports 50 Jews and 6
Christians killed and approximately
the same number wounded.
The commissions report will be
discussed this week 1t gives the de-
tails in practically every case of kill
ing and in eight instances it cites the
names Of soldiers or policemen, who
murdered one or more Jews as abso-
Lutte proof of participation of the mill
tary and police. 1t declares the
"pogrom" and preliminary events
show every evidence of a general, de-
liberate plan.
The ministry Of war had received
kilograms to the effect that serious
mutiny has broken out in the Second
and Third battalions of the Tiralleurs
and the First railway battalion at
Askabad. 1t originated In the now ia
miliar way of the arrest of soldiers
and their comrades demanding their
release and the formulation OF a list
OF grievances. including a demand for
the removal Of officers and their re-
placement by men from the ranks.
The mutineers set the governor gen.
eral at defiance. achievements Of
infantry, Cossacks and artillery have
been dispatched to Askabad from
Merv.

FROM SYCAMORE HILL.
President Roosevelt Takes Up Work
Of Government Affairs.


of Government Affairs.
Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 4.-President
Roosevelt has taken up the work of
administering governmental affairs
from Sycamore Hill Secretary Loeb
laid before the president a large as.
sortment of correspondence in the
morning. It's disposal took several
hours. The business which will
naturally come to the president as the
result of the operation Of new laws
and the beginning of the fiscal year, has
not as yet reached him from Washing
ton and the work Of the day was said
to be unimportant from the stand
point of public interest.
Upon inquiry at the executive office
1t was ascertained that the salary of
Secretary Bishop of the Isthmian
canal commission will be $4,000 a
year. This leaves Mr.. Bishops com
pensation exactly as it has been here
tofore, when he drew $500 as a mem
ber of the commission and $2,50O as
its secretary.
The president addressed an open air
gathering at the Fourth of July cele-
bration at Locust Grove, in the out
skirts Of the village
The town council appropriated $3.50
to supply additional police protection
and many deputies were sworn in for
service. Preceding and following the
presidents address there were pa.
triotic songs by the children of the
village, augmented by the choirs of the
village churches.

RUNAWAY MINE CAR ExACTS ITS
TOLL OF DEATH EVERY FEW
HUNDRED FEET.
ELEVEN PEOPLE ARE KILLED
MANGLED REMAINS OF VICTIMS
STREWN ALONG THE TRACK
FOR THREE MILES.

Altoona, Pa, July "A runaway
mine car, flying like the wind down a
mine branch track that runs from
Puritan to Portage, just before mid
night, reaped frightful harvest OF
eleven men killed and several injured
The car had been left standing at
Puritan when the mines closed and
some malicious person 1oosened the
brakes and permitted the car to speed
down the sharp incline.
The disaster happened on what is
known as Martins branch, a stretch
OF track four miles long that acts as
a feeder for several mines that are
located between Portage and Puritan
The car was stopped one mile west
OF Portage but in the short space of
three miles eleven men were instantly
killed.
The car crashed into a number of
cars standing on the track and was
wrecked. An investigation disclosed
blood and particles of clothing on the
wheels, and several men were sent
back over the track to see what had
started the car on it's wild trip. They
had gone but short distance when
they were Mortified by seeing the
mangled remains of a man lying be.
side the track. Going further another
body was found.
Eleven Bodies Discovered.
Several hundred feet up the decline
two bodies, horribly mangled, were ly
Ing on the track. On and still on, the
searchers went and by the time they
had arrived at Puritan eleven bodies
had been discovered.
The accident is one of the most pc
culiar that ever occurred in the his
tory of railroading in this section.
More lives have been snuffed out at
one time upon the railroad, but never
have the deaths been so evenly dis
tributed. Like a juggernaut, the
wildly moving car eXacted it's toll of
death every few hundred feet.
The unfortunate dead had been to
Portage laying in supplies for the
Fourth. Beside the bodies were
found foodstuffs, fireworks and kegs
Of beer. The branch track is the only
avenue by which Puritan can be
reached and is regarded as perfectly
safe at night, because no cars are run
over it after the mines cease opera
tions for the evening.
With one exception the men killed
were foreigners.
Officials of the Puritan mine declare
that it is their belief that the car was
started down the line by strikers, the
mines having been started on a non
union basis several weeks ago.

gard the laws Of the land whenever

church.
This is going to make lots Of trouble
for Mr.. Smoot, and, coupled with the
campaign conducted by the National
League of Women's Organizations, is
pretty sure to create a vacancy in the
Utah delegation. The National League
is sending out circulars to the newspa
pers asking them to suggest to their
women readers that they write letters
to their senators asking them to favor
the expulsion of Senator Smoot. This
may be necessary in some cases, but we
do not believe that it will be necessary
for anyone to urge the Minnesota SEN
ators to purge the senate Of the pres
ence there Of a representative of the
Endowment house and all the secret and
disloyal obligations and institutions of
the Mormon hierarchy. It is a question
merely of evidence. No woman writing
from Minnesota can furnish evidence,
and if the evidence is ample, the SEN
ators Of Minnesota can be relied upon
to entertain the same views with regard
to the eligibility Of Mr.. Smooth to his
seat that, all other decent and loyal
| Americans must hold.

The Mormon Senator.

The question whether Reed Smoot
shall continue to occupy his seat in the
senate has come to be a broader issue
than simply the possession Of one wife
bv the Mormon senator. It seems to
have been pretty we'll established that
Smoot is satisfied with one wife, never
had any more and manifests no symp-
toms of disposition to take any more.
He has not violated the law against
polygamy himself, but some Of the Nor
mons who came from Utah to testify in
his behalf have furnished evidence Of a
condition Of things in Utah which is
quite as damaging to Mr., Smoot IS
chances as even another Mrs. Smoot
would be. s
It has been quite clearly established
that the Mormon church still stands fol
polygamy, that it's president practices
! it. as do some Of the other dignitaries
probably a good many Of them; and
furthermore, no one can reach the dig,
nifty which Mr.. lSmoot has attained in
the church without subscribing to oaths
Of allegiance, which are altogether in.
consistent with his exercise Of the office
of senator. Indeed, these oaths re,
quire that Mormon leader shall place
the church above the state in every
| particular and pledge himself to disre.

not less SO Of fundamental questions
the whole Of Japanese life
and it's possible future. His book,
therefore, makes an appeal to all in.
terested in any way in Japan as well
as to those interested alone in her arts.
Among other things, Mr.. Cram predicts
that racial instinct and moral con-
viction will result in a sudden and
amazing return to all that was good in
the old Japan, including, Of course, its
art The veneer of westernism will
be thrown off, tho the good in west
ern civilization will be assimilated, but,
believes MI. Cram, the dominant char
acteristics Of the old civilization will
come to the fore to stay. The thesis
is interesting enough, and only time
will prove or disprove it's correctness.
However, there is shown tendency to
9 fusion of orientalism and occidental
ism in the Japanese which may not
leave the Japanese characteristics SO
pure as Mr.. Cram predicts, even should
the mikado issue an edict for the
preservation Of the Japanese civiliza
tion of the old order.
Mr.. Grams book is one to stimulate
thought. as may be seen from the
above; it is also one to stimulate q
love for Japanese art. Many fine half
tones add to the value of the book.

LIFE OF JAMES c. BLAINE.-The
first Of the new series of the American
Statesmen books is a life of James G..
Blaine, by Edward Stanwood LTD.
The story is well told-modestly told,
even too modestly. Tho DR.. Stanwood
is a relative of the Blaine family he
seems to have erred in seeking to avoid
making a hero of Mr. Blaine. That Mr..
Blaine was faultless is not asserted, but
many will feel that his biographer has
scarcely done him full justice. It is diff
fcult to see why for example, DR.. STAN
wood should say cit is well not to repro
duce the reply of Mr.. Blaine to Mr..
Conkling's insulting remarks in connec-
ton with the case of General Fry. Again
in relation to the correspondence with
Lord Salisbury, touching the seal fish
cries, DR.. Stanwood seems to object tc
Mr.. Blaine's treatment of the case be-
cause he built his claim on the ground OF
right instead Of policy. 1t would seem tt
be matter of pride that Mr.. Blaine tool
the former ground The author, in short
seems to have lacked in enthusiasm
/ Nevertheless restraint is a better quality
| than unqualified laudation, tho a strictly
| happy medium is better than either.

| men, is to deal with men who have beer

BIjou-'tA Son OF Rest

"a Son of Rest as it appears this year
is pretty nearly good thing. It Is rath
err amusing, and at times rolls along at
the merry pace that chara cterized it in
the days Of Nat Wills, the original son.
Few changes have been made in the
piece ITSELF one or two good stunts have
been added and one or two Of the orig
inal characters retained. It is evident
tho. that. the original son is sadly missed.
The scenery and costumes appear
tritie worn and weary, but in that blend
tremendously with the marked indif-
ference of the chorus members. A little
regalvaniZing and the addition Of a few
recruits that might be picked up any
pleasant afternoon or evening on Nicol-
let avenue, would perhaps put some vim
and dash into the chorus work and the
show itself.
William Swor, as Hunting Grub, the
son, has no easy task. It cannot be said
that he fails entirely, for at times he is
fully adequate. He is a worker, but Just
misses the indefinable something, -proba-
bly, personal magnetism and natural COM
edy ability, that the part demands. The
other principals, with the possible ex-
| ception of Mr.. Walling, are very good.
That gentleman would make but an in
different lover anywhere without bHac-
! ing. The three female principals are ex-

Sara Gone Bryant's Lecture Recital
Deals With Gaelic Revival.

The lecture recital to be given by
Sara Cone Bryant tomorrow evening at
the Unitarian church is attractive in
title and timely in subject. To many
persons such a subject would appeal
strongly at any time; just now, to the
literary interest aroused is added g.
widespread eagerness to understand the
meaning of the marked intellectual
awakening in Ireland, out of which is
growing a great industrial and CONNER
cial revival.
Miss Bryant has made special study
of the stories, history and poetry Of
Ireland, and has given readings of such
programs with great success. She gives
many Illustrations from the early litera-
ture and the new poetry. including
legends, fairy stories, lyrics and fairy
songs, humorous poems and translations,
the whole forming a program of strong
| interest and wide appeal.
