SPIRIT OF REBELLION
RAMPANT In FINLAND

Copenhagen, Aug. 1O.-Legalized
slaughter of Finnish women is prom
ised if the troops on guard in Finland
carry out the orders given to them by
the Russian governor general. He is
sued proclamation addressed to the
commanding officers of the troops in
structing them that all persons en-
gagged in advocating and spreading
revolutionary propaganda must be
shot, without regard to age or sex.
Inasmuch as for the past week the
loyal Finnish women have dressed
themselves in garments of flaming red
and paraded the streets, stopping pass
ers-by and forcing their way into fac
tories and shops, it is evident that the
order of the governor general is di-
rected against them.
The order followed the stabbing of
the captain of Cessack troop who at
tempted to arrest three women who
were addressing a crowd Of working
men in the market square of Finnish
town. As the trooper placed his hand
on the arm of one of them she turned
and stabbed him fatally. With her
companions she escaped and has not
since been apprehended.
Reports of similar occurrences have
been received during the last three
days, and, acting under orders re-
ceived from st. Petersburg, the COVER
nor general has determined upon the
strictest repressive measures.
All Finland is seething with revolt,
and practically the entire poFdlace is
ready to sacrifice lives and property to
deal blows to its military oppressors.
The Russian authorities realize this
and are strengthening the garrisons of
all Finnish towns.

NEW VOLCANIC ISLAND
Alaska Hunter and Trapper Says 1t Has
Risen Since Last Spring.

Alaska Hunter and Trapper Says 1t Has
Risen Since Last Spring.
Seattle, Aug. 13.-The report that q
volcanic island had been formed in
Boring sea, received last March, Is
confirmed by L. L. Bales, an Alaskan
hunter and trapper, and by officers of
the steamer Orizaba. Tbs men we're
told of the island by officers of the
United States revenue cutter Perry,
who are reported to have visited it.
The island is said to still be discharg-
ing streams of lava.
Mr.. Bales states that he went close
to the island in sealing schooner.
He estimated it's height at 900 feet
and length at about three miles.
1.-THE island has come from the
depths of the sea since last spring, !"
said Mr.. Bales. II hardly credited
the report when first heard of it, but
went close to it shortly afterward in a
sealing schooner. There we're streams
of lava still running down into the sea
from the crater, or one of the craters.
The sea is almost covered by thou
sands of dead fish. They have been
killed by the heat from the lava.
Close to the island the sea almost
boils It is rugged and about 900 feet
high, or possibly a little more. The
island is almost enveloped in clouds of
steam and some smoke It lies about
fifty miles west of Dutch Harbor, al
most directly between the Bogoslof
islands,"
Capt. Truebridge, master of the Or
izaba, was told by the captain of the
cutter Perry of the existence Of the
island. The Perry approached the
island, but on account of the steam
and running lava could not make q
thorough examination. She was to
have left for the spot when the Oriza-
ba sailed from Dutch Hafbor.

SCOTT CALLS Attention
TO BAD NAVAL BLLNDFR

Seattle, Aug. IA That q new fo,.
will have to be built at the entrance ~
Puget sound because of the allaosa
mistakes of United States engineers !.
locating Fort Casey. is the conclns;o,
reached by United States Senator No
than B. Scott, of West Virginia. wh.
is in Seattle after weeks inspection
Of the Sound forts.
Senator Scott last night EXPRESSED
himself in no uncertain terms on tho
results of maneuvers at Forts Worden
Flagler and Casey last Saturday night
which, to his mind, proved that an.
other fort must be built on the West
sido of WILDLY island or an attacking
navy will be able to gain entrance past
the useless guns of the Notifications.
Senator Scott, second on the senate
committee on military affairs, talked
freely on the subject. There's a bad
mistake" he said, and then went On
to tell what he had seen.
"Your Puget Sound people think
these forts could keep out a navy,
don't they?" he said. "Let me tell
you something.
Tender Runs Gauntlet
"Night before last they were having
maneuvers at the forts. They have q
station tender, the Thomas, and she
was put in charge of a lieutenant, who
was directed to run the gauntlet Of
the forts if he could. He told the
captain, evidently, what to do. They
ran that boat close to Fort Casey,
and when she was in front of that fort
she could pass right down the sound
for neither Worden nor Flagler could
use their guns without Smelling Casey
and Fort Casey could not get her guns
depressed enough to train them on the
boat.
As you know, am member Of
the committee on military affairs, and
when I saw this was amazed to think
of the big mistake that our engineers
have made in locating Fort Casey.
The thing to do now is to build an
other fort on the west side Of the
island higher up. In fact, they are
locating an emplacement there now.
If something is not done this city and
the sound are not safe from an enc
my's fleet. The water where the
Thomas steamed was deep enough for
any cruiser or battleship."

GA. R, ENCAMPMEN
.GAMERING At MINNEAPOLIS 4
VERY LARGE one.
Railroads Estimate that q Humid
red thousand People Had Ar
rived Monday = Contest for
National Commander Promises
to Be Heated.

Minneapolis, Aug. 14.-The rush Of
visitors to this city for the annual en-
campment of the Grand Armv Of the
Republic continues undated and the
present prospect is that the meeting
will be one of the most successful ever
held by tho Grand Army. According
to the estimate Of railroad men fully
100, 900 people had arrived up to last
night and dozens of trains running In
two or three sections are still on the
way.
The contest for national commander
is growing warmer, although no great
amount of electioneering has so far
been done. The friends of Capt. p.
II. Coney, of Kansas, are making what
is outwardly the most aggressive CAM
paign and claim to he fairly confident
Of the election of their man. Other
candidates whose names are being
strongly urged are r. B. Brown, of
gainesville, Ohio, and Charles @. Bur-
ton, of Missouri. There is no contest
worth mentioning for any of the minor
offices.
The Canteen Question
It is expected that considerable de-
bate will result over the recent law
passed by congress driving the canteen
out of soldiers homes. Commander
in Chief Tanner is in favor of passing
a resolution deprecating the purpose
of this law, but strong element in
the organization is against such action.
Another feature that may crop up
is the old fight over the proposed erec-
ton by the women of the South of a
statue of Henry Wirz, notorious for
his atrocities while in command at An
Jacksonville prison. This matter came
up in 1901 and has been more or less
alive ever since. Members of the
Grand Army are vehemently opposed
to the erection of statue of Wirz,
who was hanged for his crimes, but
many of them declare that in their
opinion the intention to erect the
statue is not serious, and, as the mat
ter now stands, not worth the consid
Grafton which some are disposed to
give it.
Social Features
The social features of the encamp-
ment commenced Monday with regi-
mental reunions and reception given
by Geo. johnson and the national pat
riotic concert in the eening.
