ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 7.-Premier
Stolypin has taken to the emperor the
resignation Of General w. A Won Boeck-
fnsn, governor general of Finland, and NJ.
Knichotch. director OF General Won Roeek-
mans chancellery. There is little doubt

troll.
II is announced that General Marloff

the Russian general staff. will be APP
pointed vice president of the Finnish senate,
The cabinet has decided that the Russian
minister of railways shall hereafter have

ways.

Of the agrarian holdings bill and has begun

tir. which is based on the American system
Of suspended sentences.
On November 12 general discussion will
be opened on the reform Of local courts
and Immediately thereafter the bill on in
volatility of person will be taken under
consideration.
This legislation is the first instalment
of the reforms promised in the October
manifesto and excites considerable interest
here. The Duma is making efforts to ex-
tend conditional sentences to political
crimes, not of a violent nature.
The courts bill virtually re-establishes
the judicial reform of Alexander II, which
was suppressed in the reigns of subsequent
monarchs. The bill abolishes the peasant

Speculation
and Blackmail,
n Says w arriner
Four Official Short in Accounts
Gives Bond-Implicstes Other
Employe of Road.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 7.-Charles L. War
riner. the deposed local treasurer Of the
Big Four Railroad company. who is
charged with the Misrepresentation of S54,-
500, was released from custody late today
on a bond Of $4,000. He was arraigned
this morning and his bond fixed but It
was not until this evening that four
friends came forward and by signing
bonds for $1,000 apiece, secured his tenn
porary liberty.
During the day Warmer made a re-
markable change of front In the fore
noon he gave out a statement admitting
his responsibilities for the shortage, but
declaring there were others involved.
Later he changed tactics and declared
that he admitted nothing. This latter dec
laration is taken to mean that he intends
to force his alleged partners in guilt into
the open.
The s5s,5OO named in the warrant for
WARMERS arrest represents the present
amount owing to the railroad company
and not the entire amount CT the shortage
which is stated to be about 100000. The
balance has been, according to the state
ment of General Counsel Hackney, COW
cred by property which Warriner has
turned over to the company. Mr. Hack
ney also stated:
"Mr. Warmer has with considerable
frankness admitted the irregularities in
his accounts. He has undertaken to ac-
count for the disappearance of the moneys
taken
First, through speculation.
Second, through efforts to recover
losses sustained in such speculations.
Third, through blackmail levied upon
him by a former employe, who claimed
to know of some such Irregularities.
Fourth, through blackmail levied upon
him by a woman friend of that employe"
The announcement from Chicago that
Eddie Cook. former clerk in the Big Four
financial department in this city, was the
person named by Warmer as the man
to whom he paid money for years in the
form Of tribute to hush up a former de-
falcation created a sensation here.
"r am glad l have been found out" said
Warmer.
well, I'll say one thing to you," added
Warmer, Il am not alone in this, and 1
want to say another thing never
played a game Of poker in my life. There
is no woman in the case, that is, as far
as I am concerned. The perfect under
standing between me and my wife pre-
cludes my being mixed up with any
woman. The other man has to do with
her, not me-"
An official Of the Big Four railroad
stated tonight the the defalcations for
which former Treasurer Warmer has been
arrested will be far in excess of 100000.
According TO this official the sum Will
reach In the neighborhood of $5ooOOO. and
that total Of $4,000 is said to have been
paid in blackmail.
Two women and a man are mentioned as
the blackmailers.
Detectives are shadowing one woman,
who lives in Cincinnati, but II is stated
that the railroad company does not intend
to have her arrested, but will endeavor to
use her as a witness for the state.

Election Officers.

A meeting OF the Omaha city council
Will be held at 10 o'clock this morning for
the purpose of canvassing the returns on
the bond issues voted on at the election on
November q ta.ta ea,
The meeting is an adjourned one. and
the plan is to again postpone the official
canvass until the city attorney can secure
an order from the district court to have
certain machines opened and their figures
verified. In some precincts of the Fifth
ward and two precincts of the Third the
figures are so strongly against the bonds
as to have aroused the suspicion OF the
councilmen that they may have been set
down in reverse order on the tally sheets.
1t is understood that the county attorney
is also being urged to call for the opening
Of three or four machines for the purpose
of having their count verified.

Gilbert Suit
Creates Interest
Council Bluffs Banker Defendant in
Suit to Recover Where Usury
is Alleged.

Omaha bankers are watching with a
good deal of interest a lawsuit across the
river in which John o. Yeiser is prosecut-
ing a suit for $4,000 against Ernest Hart
and the First National bank of Council
Bluffs, of which Mr.. Hart is president.
A. G. Gilbert is the plaintiff, and he as
serts that he was compelled to sign a
note for s., 900 to Mr. Hart and to pay the
bank $500 on a note owned by his
brother before it would lend him the $500
which he sought to borrow. The defend
ant has testified that Gilbert voluntarily
assumed the brothers note and that the
note for $1,000 was freely and voluntarily
given as a bonus.
Under the law, the plaintiff, If he proves
his case, can recover double the sum ex-
acted, together with interest.

A TRADE VERSUS CRIME.
Training a S~plendidly Effective
Means Of Reformation.

There Is no sovereign remedy or
prevention for crime, but modern en-
perience proves that industrial train
ing is a splendidly effective means Of
reformation. At the Elmira Reform,
atory the prisoners r informed that
that it is "up to them" to get out.
Their freedom can only be gained by
good behavior and diligent applica-
ton to the learning of a trade. A
sufficiently varied list to suit all
tastes is offered. A writer in the
Outlook describes how the system
works.

men working by hand at once; will
cut them straight and will cut them
without any difficulty. The machine
consists Of a large number Of teeth
set in a row and all operated by the
same shaft, which is turned by a
handle. Their effect is that of so
many pairs of shears working in the
same line side by side. The device IS
fastened to the operators body by a
harness so that it sets firmly, and
while he guides the knives with his
left hand he turns the crank that
opens and closes them. Naturally,
this machine has much more power
than there is in a mans hands, and 1t
crunches through branches of all
sizes. At the same time cutting a

ed so that the work is done. in much
better style than is possible when a
single pair of shears is used.

HOW CHINESE LIKE THEIR EGGS.
Prepared With Aromatic Herbs in
Slaked Lime.

DR.. Malegnon, who has dwelt long
in China, gives some curious details
of the food of the Chinese. This is
what he says of the Sons Of Heaven"
and the way they eat eggs:
1.-THE Chinese are great eaters OF
Eggs, which they take hard boiled.
One finds them in all the roadside
places for r~efreshment. The Celes.
tials have an expression: Eggs OF a
hundred years. The eggs are not al
ways a century old, but you are able
to get them of many years standing.
1.-THE Celestials have a preference
for the egg of the duck or goose. They
are placed with aromatic herbs in
slaked lime for a period more or less
long, the minimum time Of treatment
being five or six weeks. Under the in
Auence of time the yolk l~iquefes and
takes a dark green color. The white
coagulates and becomes green.
"The product of the eggs which
has a strong odor, from which a
Granger betakes himself quickly, the
Chinese eat as hors d'oeuvre, and 1t
Is said to have the taste Of lobster"
