RUSSIANS LAUNCH
 NEW OREADNAUGH7
Third Stage of Russia's Ambitious Naval Program for Black
 Sea Squadron.

ODESSA, June 15-The third stage in Russia's ambitious naval program for the Black Sea was concluded to- day with the successful launching of the dreadnaught Ekastorina II at the Nikolaioff navy yard.
 The two dreadnaughts already launched, and soon to go into com mission, are the Empress Maria and the Alexander H. The fourth, the Ivan, the Terrible, is to be laid down on the ways vacated by the Ekas- torina II. The six destroyers and the six submarines, included in the new program, have already been com pleted, and two armored cruisers are building. There is also being con- structed one of the largest floating docks in the world, capable of carry ing a vessel of 10000 tons. It will cost s2,oOO,OOO.
 Notwithstanding this formidable fleet, naval experts say that Turkey would have decided advantage on the Black Sea in the event of a war between the two countries, as the Russian dreadnaughths are to be arm ed with only 12-inch guns, as against guns of ,13-inch and 15-inches re spectively on the two cruisers recently a acnl,irod hv tho Turkish government one from Brazil and the other now completing in England. The longer range of the Turkish guns would, it is believed, more than counterbal- ance the greater aggregate tonnage and armament of the new Russian craft.

BOYS LOCATE
 LOST BALLOON Berry 10 Seriously lnjured-ea'loon Dropped $500 Feet Into GuIch
 Near Oregon City.

PORTLAND, June 15.-The bal loon Million Population, which was lost somewhere in the Cascades while on the endurance race from this city, was located Saturday night at Beav- CT creek, 15 miles east of Oregon City, by several small boys who were out hunting. George Berry, the op- orator in charge of the balloon, was found to be seriously but not neces- sarily fatally injured and aid has been sent to him, while George Morrison. who was a passenger with Berry, had made the injured man comfortable.
 The Million Population, when at an elevation of $500 feet, was struck by lightning and sank to the ground, landing in deep gulch. The para chuting of the big sack is all that saved the men and the basket struck the. ground so hard as to injure Berry in the back and legs. Two of the pigeons were dead and the one re leased carried the message of distress but as Morrison knew not where he was could not direct rescuers as to his location.
 Hundreds of men are hunting to locate the balloon Springfield, which has not been heard from, and it is feared that Captain Donaldson and Wilbur Henderson, who were in the basket, have either been killed or in jured: It is believed that the balloon was caught in the same storm.

 SAMUEL'S DEATH
Damaging Testimony Given Against Blanche Smith-Had Threatened
 to Take Samueis' Life.

SEATTLE, June 15-Witnesses be- fore the coroner's jury here today told of the threats uttered by Blanche Smith, the paramour of Michael D. Samuels, the Nome business man who was found shot to death in his room in the Seattle hotel a few days ago.
 It was stated that Mrs. Smith had constantly quarreled with Samuels while at the hotel, because she was jealous of his atten ions to other women. On the Friday previous to the tragedy it developed that Mrs. Smith had waited for hours for the return of Samuels and that when requested to go to her room by the clerk she refused.
 The clerk then threatened to eject her and she said: "If I leave this hotel I'll kill Samuels, that's what I'll do."
 Since leaving the hospital the wo- man has been under arrest. Mrs. Samuels is still persistent in her as sertfbns that her husband did not die by his own hand. The evidence dis closed today was very damaging against Mrs. Smith.

Governor Stewart Arrived in MininQ Town to Take Command of
 Situation.

BUTTE. Mont, June Ex-Governor Stewart arrived here today to take personal charge of the situation which has grown out of the fight among the labor organizations of the city. The governor denied that troops had been ordered to this city and says he is confident that the men will stop all rioting and will aid the po- lice to maintain order.
 The streets are crowded today, as few men have returned to work and the men are standing about the street corners. The saloons have all been ordered closed SO that no liquor-soak- ed orator can start the crowds upon a war of destruction of property.
 Two men arrested by the police for disorderly conduct were released when the crowds of miners surround ed the station and insisted that un- less the men were freed by the po- lice they would take the station by storm and start the fireworks.

POLICEMAN DEAD
 SUSPECT TRAMPS
Niahtwatchman Was Hunting Through Abandoned Shaeks When Shot to
 Death-Murderers Escape.

VANCOUVER. B. C., June l5.- Word has reached here from Ram loops that Constable John Allen was brutally murdered there last night while making his nightly rounds of the town. From the position of the body when found it is supposed that the constable had occasion to visit some shacks in the suburbs of the town that had been unoccupied for some time. It is supposed that tramps were in the place spending the night and either the constable and they had some altercation, during which Allen was shot, or that the constable was murdered in cold blood as he was approaching the place.
 The body was discovered on the threshold and every indication points to the theory advanced of murder by tramps. No clue has been found leading to the identity of the man, or men, who committed the crime. A coroner's jury will be called imme- diately.
 Some tramps who have been found in the vicinity are under suspicion, and they will be held until more light is thrown on the mystery.
