TAKE GATE TO HUNGARY.

London-That the Russians are
slowly but surely closing in on kolo-
mea, Galicia, is shown by both the
Russian and Austrian official reports.
Gen. Lechitsky, commander Of Brusi-
lofts centre, began a mighty onrush
against the Austro-Hungarian lines in
Galicia and the northwestern Buko-
wilma, between the Dniester and the
region around Kuty, in an effort to
push his opponents beyond the i'm
portant railway city Of Kolomea. strate-
gically the most valuable point In
southern Galicia.
Petrograd announced that Lechitsky
inflicted a crushing defeat upon the
Austro-H -Hungarians taking three lines
of trenches and 10,506 prisoners. This
success was achieved In the northern
part of the area Of attack, between
the Dniester and the Pruth. The fall
of Kolomea is expected If the new ad-
vance continues. It's capture will mean
the collapse Of the whole defense
scheme in southern Galicia and seal
the doom of the Austro-Hungarian ar
my now TetTehtlnS toward the TduSyi-
vanian passes, as the latter would then
be deprived of all hope Of rejoining
the northern Austrian wing. More
over, the Russian success, il followed
up by further advance, will straight
en- out Gen. Brusiloff's line so as to
consolidate his centre and right wing,
automatically forcing the Germans to
fall back In Volhynia and abandon
Kovel
Vienna admits that least of Kolo-
mea" the Russians made "massed at
tacks" on a front of twenty-five miles
and that "at numerous points" the at
tackers succeeded in advancing. In
he evening, however, II is asserted,
he Russians we're forced to evacuate
"a portion" OF the Austro-H Hungarian
front near Kolomea and southwark.
The significance OF this advance ia
said by the military experts TO rest in
the fact that the Muscovites are now
IN a position TO sweep into the plains
where the crops upon which the Ger
man and Austrian armies depend are
ripe for the harvest.

EASEMENT TO Die

Sir Roger Hears His Doom
Calmly After Making I'm
y passioned Statement
APPEAL IS TO BE TAKEN
Pleads for Right to Be Tried by Irish
men and for Irish Nationality, In
Haif-Hour Statement-Hope That
America viii Deory Verdict.

London.-Sir Roger Easement was
found guilty of high treason and sen
fenced to death. The jury brought
in the verdict, after having been out
less than an hour.
Sir Roger received the sentence
with the utmost composure. smiling
at friends in the courtroom. After
the rendering of the verdict he made
statement, which took a half-hour
in the reading. 1t was a plea for the
right to be tried by Irishmen and for
Irish nationality.
An appeal will be taken by Sir
Rogers counsel to the Criminal Court
of Appeals and then to the House OF
Lords.
Sir Roger read his final statement
with the explanation that he wished
it might reach a much larger audi
ence than the one before him, and
particularly the people of America,
from whom had come many messages
OF sympathy to him, and whose own
struggle for liberty. he said, always
had been an inspiration to Irishmen.
His auditors, among whom were Wis
count Bryce and many other promi-
nent men and women, listened in deep
silence, some showing much emotion.
The prisoner declared he did not re-
gard trial by Englishmen in an Eng
lish court as a trial by his peers, to
which he was entitled.
Throwing aside his manuscript, Sir
Roger said:
my lords, have done. Gentlemen
of the jury, wish to thank you for
your verdict. I meant no reflection
upon you when said this was not
trial by my peers"
Daniel j. Bailey, the private soldier
who had been held as his accomplice,
was placed in the dock afterwards.
The Chief Justice directed the jury
to return a verdict of not guilty, and
Bailey was discharged. 1t was an
nounced afterward that the Crown
had withdrawn the charge against
Bailey.

Southern Pacific Puts Embargo
on All Marine Shipments
Until the Striking LOngshOre-
men Capitulate.

New York. May 17.-An embargo on
marine freight from the Pacific coast
to this port, which will divert thou
continental railroads, with a conse-
quent increase in rates to the shipper
of from about to As per cent has been
declared by the Southern Pacific Rail-
road company.
The railroad officials announced to-
day that the embargo would be en-
forced until the last one of the 1850
coppers, checkers and longshoremen
who quit the piers of the Morgan line
here on Tuesday morning of last week,
had returned to his work or his place
had been satisfactorily filled.
According to these officials their
men had no desire to strike, but were
forced to quit work through fear of
Paul Kelly, the former gang leader,
and the strong arm men who are with
him in the longshoremen's union.
Kelly is president of the union, ac-
cording to the information of the rail-
road men. Whatever his post he is
said to control the union completely
and to direct its councils.
The embargo applies to all freight
hitherto shipped by rail from far
western points to the port of Calves

there loaded into the ships of the Nor
gan line. Is in number, for transport
to New York. Such an embargo was
declared last fall after heavy storms
had caused havoc at Galveston and
had interfered with shipping there.
The embargo was lifted after a few
months but has been clapped on again
now, and, despite all other conditions,
will be maintained, the company says
until the longshoremen capitulate.
