TERRIBLE CONDITIONS,
Reign of Tyrany On in Full Blast in
 Russia.

Russia.
 St. Petersburg. July 23.-The new regulations concerning a mode of pro- ceedure for the military district courts. introduced July 20. have now begun to bear fruit and the results constitute a close approach to the notorious reign of the drum head courts martial which were abolished by the late douma.
 The innovations shorten the entire course of the inquest and trial, allow ing only seventy-two hours between indictment and execution, including the appeal of the prisoner to the military court of cessation and the decision of this court. The former regulations allowed a fortnight for this procedure. liged to hand down sentences without waiting to hear the testimony of wit nesses who may be absent. They also enjoy Jurisdiction over wider area than the former drum head courts which only operated in the provinces that had been placed under a state of extraordinary defense. The number of executions under the new rulings show a sudden increase.
 At Kiev yesterday five sappers were executed and today another Sapper was sentenced to death. Three peasants have been executed at Moscow. anoth- CT at Warsaw and at Yekaterinoslav three workmen have been put to death under decisions handed down by these new courts.
 At Riga a young man named Berland went into a clothing store. selected an overcoat and then started for tho door without having paid for 1t. When asked to settle his bill. he drew a re- volver. covered the clerk and succeed ed in getting away. He was later captured and sentenced to death. An other young man named Danbe was sentenced to death at Riga for the theft of $5 and two girl accomplices. aged 12 and 20 years respectively. were sentenced to exile and hard labor for life

PENCHANT FOR SPECTACULAR
PinkertOn Detective Agency Is Charged With Inspiring story Of Plot To
 Take Life Of SteuneEberE.

Boise, Idaho. July 23-Forsaking the theory of vengeance as Orchards motive for e murder of former governor Steunenberg. E. F. Richard son argued that Orchard was in the employ of the Pinkerton detective agency when he killed Steunenberg and that the murder was part of a con- spiracy to hang Haywood.
 Tins sudden departure was followed by tremendous denunciation of Captain James Mcfarland and the Pipkertons and passionate vituperation of Orchard, Governor Gooding of Idaho. Senator Borah, Governor Peabody of Colorado and in fact all who have acted on the side of the prosecution of Haywood came in for a share of the avalanche of Richardsons percration.
 MT Richardson denounced and charged the Pinkerton detective agency with a systematic plot to secure the conviction of Haywood. Mover and Pettibone as a means to the desired extermination of the Western Fedora ton of1Miners Clarence Darrow will commence his argument in Haywood's behalf when court meets tomorrow morning. It Is expected that he will require two days to close for the de- fense.
 Orchard was painted as a man who fanc1ed there was glory III spectdC uidA crime Day after day opportunity was presented to him to kill Steunenberg in comparative safety to himself. but rather than to shoot & man whose giant stature, the attorney said. of- fered a target "as big as the side of a barn door," Orchard planted bomb and planned the deed so that 1t might attract the greatest amount of atten- ton.
 Richardson asserted that Orchard had a motive against Steunenberg for the real or fancied loss of his interest in the Hercules mine through which he was driven out of the Occur dAlenes
 Of Orchards history of many of his attempts upon the lives of men said to have been marked for death by the Federation. Mir. Richardson said 1t was the most absurd thing on the face of the earth. He declared that 1t wouitr bepar- long time! before the law would sanction a conviction on such testimony as has been adduced against Haywood and he pleaded with the jury not to put a halter about the neck of his client "at the behest of the Mine Owners Association and its represen- tatives."
 pr. l.. l.. McGee, the witness for the defense who was arrested in on the charge of perjury was discharged from custody by the magistrate before whom the preliminary hearing was made. Orchard was on the stand again today as a witness in the McGee case.

 Seoul, July 23.-The cabinet report to Marquis Ito of the former Emper- ors new pledge of abdication. in form positive and final, was published today and reversed the widespread impress sion that the first instance was not one of abdication but of Imperial con tortion." Ito's subservlent cabinet in an all night engagement with the 1or- mer Emperor wrung from him the yer bal admission of the validity or his casual abdication and secured his sig nature to a proclamation 10 the peo- ple, also an acknowledgment of the Mikado's congratulations to him as Emperor defacto, which acknowledg- ment had been resisted by the deposed ruler during the day
 The working members of the cabinet who enjoy Ito's protection and patron age, are passing in and out or the pal ace with a guard exclusively Japanese. The work of the cabinet will not be finished until the Emperor IS exiied from Seoul This, the next step. If &C., complished, without the poisoning of the deposed ruler or the consummation of some similar tragedy will be land- mark in Korean history
 Viscount Hayashi. Foreign Minister of Japan whose presence in Korea at this time supports Ito. In an interview yesterday in the administration paper, Is understood to suggest council of state with power to act for the eiimi- nation of interference by the throne.
 The censorship proclaimed over Jap anese press correspondence is described as precautionary on account of the bit terness displayed toward Itos con- servative course in reshaping the des- tinies of Korea Theaters. amusement places and the markets are now open for the first time In four days. The situation in the capital is promising. especially in consideration of the fact that the stores of ammunition policed by disaffected Korean troops are ex- tremely small.
 Marquis Ito expects valuable rein forcements of blue jackets from Jap anese warships for emergency use.

SUBSTITUTE FOR THE
 CHILD LABOR BILL IS PASSED BY THE HOUSE,,

committee, he said. had been insulted. threatened and bullied in a way that he never saw a committee treated pe- fore.
 Just before the recess there was an amendment agreed upon, and the bill sent to the Governor who amended it. and the House concurred in the amend ment.
 Governor Had Agreed to It.
 It then became the work of ,he committee. he said. to consolidate these bills. The committee on mines and manufactures spent hours on the bill. The committee knew, he said. there would be some opposition to the bill. and. therefore, they decided to have a law which would suit everybody
 Yesterday, he said, he went to Sena- tor Lusk and others and arranged for the substitute. and the substitute as offered in the House had been submit ted to the Governor and he had agreed to 1t.
 The bill, he said, ought to pass the House without opposition. He, himself. was in favor of the fourteen-year age limit for girls. but he thought he ought to give way to the opinion of others in this matter. He was of an opinion that this was the attitude the House ought to take toward the bill.
 IL ndQ been uuEtCu dI thC he said, that 1t was holding back the bill. This was not true, he declared. but it was rather that the committee had been most careful in the considera- tion of the bill and all its require ments, and that after such careful consideration the committee came to the House and asked 1t to pass tne substitute.
 The fundamental principle or the bill, he said, was that the State or Alabama would protect children and prevent those of a tender age from working in the mills It provided TOT proper protection of the mills, a thor ough system of sanitation and adequate penalties for breaking the law.
 For Fourteen Year Age Limit.
 MT. Goodwin, of Montgomery, offer ed an amendment to make the age linn it for girls fourteen years, and that no girl under that age be allowed Tn the mills in any case.
 He admitted that the committee had worked well, but he did not see why the committee should offer the sub- stitute at this time. There had been lobbying going on for the last three weeks. he said.
 In answer to a question from MT. John, he said he did not charge that there had been any corruption, but the lobby had been here and 1t was be- cause of their opposition that the sub stitute had been offered. He for one
