tions, ceased work in obedience.to the call for a general strike. This call al- ready has been obeyed by 10000 fac tory hands in the capital It is i'm possible, however, yet to predict the result of this universal political strike.
 It is stated definitely that the first step toward dictatorship will be the nomination immediately of Grand Duke Nicholas to the chief command of all the troops in Russia. This would virtually place him in control of all the disturbed districts of the empire where martial law has been proclaimed.
 A special court is going to Helsing- fors to try mutineers. A thousand men are confined in Helsingfors and Ska tudden.
 The total of the casualties is not yet known, but $50 men are missing. It is impossible to say how many were wounded. Five officers were killed.
 A special dispatch from Samara says that the governor of that city was instantly killed by a bomb thrown by an assassin, who was subsequently arrested. The governors head and feet were torn off by the explosion.
 There is overt dissatisfaction among the Moscow regiment of the guards quartered in St. Petersburg. The de mands formulated by the men are both economic and political.
 Several soldiers. in uniform and car rying arms. declared that unless the country should get constitutional gov ernment the regiment would offer it's services to the revolutionary leaders. The spirit of revolt is catching hold of the army over all the nation.
 Cossacks were sent to the barracks of the regiment to prevent an out break.
 All the stations of the Finnish rail- way between St. Petersburg and vi- borg, as we'll as the entire length of the coast which the line skirts, have been occupied by troops.
 A Warsaw report says that DOT ton of the troops In the summer camp at Remberetoff. near here, mutinied and are in open revolt.
 The artillerymen have driven their officers out of thslr quarters. A de- tachment of Cossacks sent to over power the mutineers were received with grapeshot. <
 At Helsingfors an incipient mutiny broke out on board the Russian cruiser Bogatyr. It was immediately put down with the arrest of 200 of the sailors on board.
 The men of the Russian cruiser Asia. which was sent to Abo. Finland. mu- tinied. hoisted the red flag and sailed in the direction of Sveaborg. Admiral Bireleff started on this ship to take command of the Baltic feet at Hel- singfors. He is believed to be pris- oner on his own flagship.

IN HEART OF YONKERS.
Police Have a Fine Buck Locked Up
 for Disorderly Conduct.

New York. Aug 4.-Yonkers po- licemen have a fine red buck locked up on a charge of disorderly conduct
 The deer when first seen sprang from a copse Wednesday night in front of Michael Redmond's home. three miles from Yonkers. fin front of a Yonkers trolley car. Motorman Michael Devine put on full speed af- ter the buck, cheered on by the pas sengers. Mounted Policemen Finne- gan and Hildebrand of the Kings bridge station, joined the chase.
 Up and down hill, around curves and over crossings jolted the car. but never gained an inch. The mounted policemen were left behind At Me Lean avenue. Yonkers. the deer left the trolley tracks and fled toward Mclean Heights. The Yonkers police were notified by the motorman, and Captain Woodruff with his reserves took up the hunt.
 After securing the streets and al- leys on Mclean Heights they came upon the deer. which led them live ly chase down to the city, where the bright lights blinded him. The buck was meek as a lamb when captured.
 It is believed the deer escaped from the Bronx Geological park

An Outrage, says Coudert.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Aug. 4.-The action of the town officials in tearing down the pier belonging to Frederic R. Coudert at Oyster Bay in assertion of the towns rights to the beach as a highway was declared by Mir. Coudert to be a high handed outrage. Mir. Cou- dert said he has brought suit against the men who did the work and intends to hold them personally liable. Mir. Coudert said, There can be no high way on land which is covered with water twelve hours out of the twenty four, and the highway theory is the merest fiction" A court order has been issued forbidding the rebuilding of the pier.

COMSTOCK'SARTRAlD
Sir Oaspar Purdon Clarke < Asks Who He Is.
NO ISDECESCY IN NUDE MODELS
English Museum Expert Had Never Heard of Keeper of New York's Morals-sliss Robinson 10
 Released.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-Sir Caspar Pur don Clarke. director of the Metropoli tan Museum of Art, was asked to give an opinion in regard to the raid made by Anthony Comstock on the Art Stu dents league, which resulted in the seizure of ton of magazines and the arrest on a Jane Doe warrant of g young woman bookkeeper. He replied Really, I can't understand 1t. Ie the man serious, or Is it just joke Who is this Comstock? I never heard 1 of him before. And what society does he represent?'
 The director being teld that Mir. Com. stock was paid to look after the morals of New York said:
 T trust 1t does not mean that the lib. erty of the art schools shall be taken away. Surely, there Is no indecency In art. All art schools employ models in the nude, and that is all there is to it. A nude figure is not indecent un. less it was made nude for the purpose of offending the morals.' NOW tuol tuc AIt SuSuo nus UccN raided," Sir Purdon was asked. Ifs moi the Metropolitan museum in danger of being raided also?"
 Really, have nothing to say about that" he replied. "I can't understand the matter. I have never heard of such thing. To be sure, we have re. ceived one or two complaints by letter since have been at the head of the museum regarding some of the nude figures in oils exhibited here, but the letters were simply ridiculous" Did you ever hear of any other in. stances in England or France or else. where where such action was taken p Never in my life." said the director He then perused the published story of the raid.
 Really can't understand it." he re. iterated. "T wonder if the man is SC. rious or if he Is jokingT'
 Miss Anna Robinson, the young wo, man who innocently complied with MT. Comstock's request for copy of the last number of The American Stu. dent In Art, the society's magazine, and who was immediately hustled of to the Fifty-third street bastile, has been released in the custody of her counsel.
 All the wrath of the art world of New York is being poured out upon the head of Comstock for invading the Art Students league and confiscating an edition of the league publication which, he alleges, contains pictures which are obscene and libidinous." 1" Mir. Comstock is severely criticised and denounced.

AGED JUDGE ASSAULTED.
w. G. Hawkins, an Eminent Jurist, Victim of Murderous Footpads.


 Victim of Murderous Footpads. PITTSBURG, Aug. fudge Will liam c. Hawkins, Jr., of the orphans' court, an eminent jurist of Allegheny county, was the victim of murder ous assault by footpads near his home in the fashionable east end.
 Judge Hawkins. it appears. was tax ing a customary walk near his home previous to retiring when he was set upon and beaten. His nose was broken, his face badly cut and bruises were sustained upon his body. He was left unconscious on the street. but later regained his senses and man. aged to make his way to his home. He has an .indistinct recollection of three men attacking him. but no clue to the identity of the assailants can be ob- tained. Robbery was undoubtedly the motive, as Judge Hawkins was re lieved of a gold watch of much value and a sum of money.
 He is in critical condition and causes great anxiety to his family be- cause of his advanced years, about seventy. N..

There is every sign abroad of the
prosperity of the City.hy -the'Sea. As
toria's banks are thriving and in robust
condition at all points of financial con-
siieration; the mills of the city are
running day and night and cannot over
take their orders: the fishermen are all
busy and expect to be buster as the days
20 bye and the steadily increasing run
of fish grows to the normal limit; the
canneries. likewise; the mercantile affairs
of the city are in prime shape and doing
all they can handle: real estate is active;
good prices prevailing all along the line,
and to clinch the proof of well'being
there is not an ide man in town who
wants to work and not enough to fill the
bill as it is. There is practically S2500o0
appropriated, publicly, and privately, for
new buildings and general Improvement
of plants and premises and the weather
is on its best behavior. What more can
be said for live town!

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

There is always the possibility of n
city like this being compelled. at certain
seasons of her development, to borrow
money, for some proven and profitable
purpose. and to utter bonds for the re-
payment of the money so used. As a
general thing. at such junctures, re-
course is had to the open, general money
market, and more frequently than not,
the Eastern market. with the unescapa-
BILE consequence that the interest and
principal goes thousands of miles away
from home and is lost to the community
as a fixed asset, forever. There is no
need of this; such money should be
raised at home, used at home, paid at
home, to serve again at home, and in
Difference to this admirable principle we
respectfully submit to the Charter Com
mission now on duty, the necessity of
providing for change is this needless
sacrifice of local revenues to centers and
sources that are without a spark of in
terest in us, beyond our ability to pay
our particular debt to them at the ap-
pointed time. Let the new charter con-
tain clause, to be employed at the op-
ton of the city of Astoria, permitting
her to issue home-loan, bonds, payable in
five, ten, or fifteen years, at or or 5
per cent per annum interest; the bonds
therefore to be issued in small denomi-
nations of $25, $50 and $780, and to be
issued in sequence with their subscrip-
tion, that is, that the first subsciber for
a $25 bond shall receive the first bond
uttered, No. l. and so on up the line by
gradation until the last and highest
bond in the output shall be delivered to
the last and highest bidder. The home
loan not only keeps the money at home
and upon the same identical basis Of
security attaching to it as if it went
thousands of miles away namely, the
entire taxable wealth of the community,
but it awakens deeper and more last
ing interest in the mind of the citizen
who loans his money to his city, in the
administration of her affairs and makes
him party of her financial credit, or dis
credit, as the case may develop; it gives
the local investor an outlet for his capi-
tai that he knows all about and need not
worry over; it keeps the interest money
at home and in constant circulation in
stead of despatching it to some great,
Indifferent city thousands of miles away;
it gives the poor man with a little to
invest a safe and compensating chance
for investment right at hand where he
can, at any time that pressure makes it
necessary, convert his bond back into
cash; it saves the volumne of the loan
to the money resources of the city and
does not drain her of that and the in
terest on it, for years afterward; in
fact every argument is wholly in favor
of the principle of executing the loan
right in our own market-place and keep
ing it there until the day of its dis
charge, or the day of its re-bonding
when the whole wise practice may be re-
enacted. Think it over gentlemen
There are proofs of its wisdom and
efficacy, in abundance!
