BUTT KILLED AND HUNDREDS WOUNDED
St. Petebsbuko, Aue. L Private let
ters received here from Tashtend, a town
of Asiatic Russia, in Syr-Darya, report that
the news in regard to the serious riots
which occurred in that place on July 6 in
connection with the cholera epidemic has
been suppressed by the Government, the
strictest censorship being exercised in the
matter. From these letters it is learned
thet the native Sarts, believing that the
doctors were poisoning patients who were
Buffering from cholera, became greatly ex
cited and determined to put an end to the
murderous practices which they imagined
were being employed in the cases of the un
fortunates stricken with the terrible dis
ease. The wildest rumors were current of the
cruelties inflicted by the medical men in
causing the immediate death of the patients,
and these stories had the effect of aronsing
the fury of the people to the highest pitch.
Five thousand of the Sarts suddenly in
vaded the Bussian quarter of the town and
attacked and wrecked the residence of
Deputy Governor Poutinstoff, who fled on
the approach of the howling mob. IJis
flight was discovered, however, and he was
pursued and overtaken in the street by a
large and.infuriated crowd of the attackers
who mercilessly vented their fury on the
helpless official.
Enrronnded and Stoned to Death.
He was surrounded on all sides by ene
mies hungering for his blood and was mal-
treated in a terrible manner. He pleaded
with his assailants for mercy, but his ap
peals were in vain and at length he was
flung to the ground and after being trampled
npon by the desperate rioters was assailed
with a shower of stones until the life had
been beaten out of him and his features had
been mutilated beyond recognition.
The authorities having become aware of
the state of affairs in town took immediate
steps to suppress the disorders and proteet
the ether endangered officials. A body of
troops was hurried to the scene of the at
tack on theDeputy Governor and they were
given orders to adopt the most rigorous
measures in dealing with the rioters. Ar
riving at the place where the defiant Sarts
were assembled, the troops opened fire on
their ranks, killing several of them.
The Sarts were armed with pistols and
daggers, and nothing daunted by the deadly
fire poured into them, held their ground
and made a desperate resistance to the
soldiers. The two forces closed in on eacn
other and a furious hand-to-hand fight re
sulted, the maddened Sarts, when their
pistols had been emptied, slashing furiously
abont with their daggers and doing much
execution with these weapons. The drilled
and better armed soldiers were unable to
overcome their fanatical opponents and ad
ditional troops bad to be sent to their as
sistance. Rioters Capture the Mosques.
They were reinforced by a body of Cos
sacks, and with the valuable aid of these
soldiers they finally succeeded in quelling
the riot and dispersing the Sarts in all
directions. The Sarts were not disheart
ened by this repulse, and soon took steps to
resume their attack. They collected around
the mosques, and taking possession of these
edifices, at once set about the work of con
verting them into temporary forts, and de
fied the authorities to do battle with them.
A large number of soldiers were dispatched
to the scene of the new manifestations on
the part of the rioters and attempted to dis
lodge them from their strongholds.
This was no easy task, however, as the
Sarts were strongly ensconced behind the
protecting walls of the mosques and could
shoot down the soldiers, while they them
selves were in a practically safe position.
The Sarts made a sturdy resistance to every
effort of the soldiers to drive them from the
buildings, and fired from loopholes with
telling effect upon the invaders. The
troops at last concentrated their forces, and,
making a grand assault, they triumphantly
carried the mosques, and a scene of carnage
ensued.
Desperate and Sanguinary Fish tine.
The fighting inside the structures was of
the most desperate and sanguinary char
acter. Although the Sarts found they
could not cope with their military oppo
nents, quarter was asked for, nor was any
given, and they fell by scores before the
weapons of the soldiers, their desperate
courage being unwavering and their defiance
unceasing to the very end. The character
of the struggle may be imagined when it is
known that 60 ot the Sarts were killed and
that hundreds of them were wounded, many
of them most grievously.
The soldiers, too, suffered heavily, the
Bussian loss being 15 killed and many
wounded. Tremendous excitement was
caused in the town by the terrible affair,
and the authorities fou nd it necessary to
strongly patrol the place both day and
night Many arrests have been made of
persons concerned in the disorders, and there
is no doubt that an example will be made
of all those convicted of complicity in the
riots.
It is feared that there mar be -a renewal
of the troubles, and precautions are being
taken accordingly by the officials. The troops
are being largely reinforced, and everything
is being done to put a summary and effectual
end to any further uprising on the part of
the Sarts.

I made by Prince Bismarck in Jena yester
day is being'excitedly criticized in this city.
The Tagtblatt, commenting on the remarks
of the ex-Chancellor, sayB:
"It is in every way the most notable ut
terance he has given voice to since he quit
ted office. His reference to the strengthen
ing of the influence of the Reichstag re"
vealed a new programme. In demanding
that the convictions of the peo
ple be considered more important than
the will of a monarch, which an absolution
ist caprice rendered impossible. Prince
Bismarck must have meant the introduc
tion of a parliamentary regime, although he
did not use these exact words. Against the
new Bismarck the Liberals will have less to
say than against tLe former Bismarck."

Washington, Aug. 1. The War De

four vacancies on the limited retired list of
the army against the time when it will be

Once or twice since the law permitting
the transfer of officers of 63 years of age to

HIGH TIME TO CALL A DEAD HALT
On Such Awful, Inflammatory Utterances
as Are Allowed From
TIIE WORKINGMAVS WORST EXEJHES
rsPECIAL TELEOBAM TO Till DISPATCH.
New Yobk, Aug. 1. Joseph Peukert
and his group of Anarchists were in their
glory to-night For several days they
have been distributing circulars announcing
that a meeting ot "worklngmen" would be
held to-night, in Military Hall, to discuss
the Homestead troubles. Although the cir
cular did not say so, the meeting was merely
to glorify Berkman and anarchy.
Nearly all of the BOO persons who had
crowded into the long narrow room by 8
o'clook were heartily in sympathy with
Berkman and eager to applaud the inflam
matory speeches prepared for them. A
half-dozen policeman from the Eldridge
street station stood at the back of the hall,
trying to get a breath of fresh air now and
then. Betore the first speaker had ap
peared on the platform the room was
crowded. The speeches were in English
and German and Hebrew-German jargon.
There was long table for the reporters be
low the platform, and every speaker made a
point of calling the reporters names.
Berkman's Awful Deed Applauded.
The first speaker vrsft Dyer D. Lum, who
succeeded Parsons, the Chicago Anarchist,
as the editor ot the Alarm. He looked
seedy. He spoke in English, approving of
Berkman s act When an Anarchist like
Berkman decided to leave this world, Lum
said, he considered it his duty to take a
good Christian like Prick along as his companion.
Joseph Peukert, the leader of the Auton
omists, was greeted with applause as he
walked up to thejlatform. He is a tall
man with a very black beard. He ad
dressed his fellow Anarchists in German.
"This meeting," he said, "is an expression
of appioval on the part ot the work-.
ing class of the deed of Berk
man. When the workingmen nt Home
stead were ground down by the capitalists
one man elected himself the champion of
the oppressed classes and tried to liberate
them from slavery, not by shooting Prick,
but by showing them ihere the source of
their misery lay.
A Hearty Approval of Murder.
"We approve of the act most heartilv.
Ton paid vassals of the press caunot stop
the wheels of history. The people are
awakening, and t'uey will crush you with
those who pay you, these murderers, these
robbers, the capitalists. So long as there
are people who are starving there will
be a Berkman, and these Berkmans
will shoot, without any conspiracy. "We
are proud, of Berkman's act We were
associates with him, and we don't deny it
The workingmen must fight, and that soon.
Hundreds of Berkmans will rise to do their
duty. These reporters before' me are the
people who declare that we are
unwashed and unkempt. We do not
wash ourselves because we have to work.
When we are through work we are tired,
and we cannot afford to change our shirts
twice a day. Now the question is, whether
we are dirty or yon. You have been trained
like parrots, and are the parasites of capi
tal." Dr. Merlino, the Italian Anarchist, fol
lowed Peukert, and worked himself into a
terrible frenzy in the course of his speech,
waving his arms, skaking his head, and
swaying his body at a great raje.
The Daser Passions Appraled To.
"Comrades and friends." he said, in very
broken English, "we stand tor anarchy.
Has this man Berkman committed a crime?
Yes, legally a crime, but in the
present society it is necessary to
commit crime to prevent greater crimes.
Frick has shown himself a criminal and we
demand the right to fight crimes in any way
we can. Our crimes are necessary, while
theirs are actuated by greed.
"This is the first attempt made to hit at
the real enemy of the workingmen, and it
has awakened workingmen to realize
that a revolution is inevitable. Frick
was robbing the poor working
men of Homestead. They sought pro
tection from the courts in vain they
tried political alliance to save them in
vain labor organization was defeated, and
they lay struggling in the fear of death at
tne Hands ot the tyrant robber. There was
only one course left for the workingmen to
rid himself of the monster, and that was to
use the weapons which common sense
directed." .
Berkman's Sweetheart Bants and Itavft.
There was a momeniary disturbance as a
drunken listener called for three cheers for
the speakers, but quiet was restored, and
Emma Goldmanu, Berkman's sweetheart,
who had been sitting near the report
ers' table got up to speak.
The trowd applauded her boister
ously. She gesticulated all through
her speech, which was delivered rapidly in"
German. Carnegie, she said, paid the press
to speak in his favor. Berkman did a
great and manly act when he shot Frick.
His pistol was pointed at the source
of the workingman's misery, in the
hope that others might do' likewise.
"The press says that Prick is recovering,"
she said, "the capitalistic press, but I don't
believe it. Pricks will arise in the future,
but Berkmans will arise to shoot everyone
of them. We have unnatural causes before
us, and we must confront them with un
natural means. All is not yet over with
Frick. There are 1,000 bullets waiting for
him yet" She spoke of Berkman as "that
hero at Pittsburg," and dared anyone to ar
rest her.
Comrade Timmerman, who lives in tfifth
stfeet with the Goldmann and the others of
her group, said that all the Anarchists hated
the law. He praised Bavachol and Berkman
in the same breath.
Not Considered a Stain on His Race.
The last speaker spoke in Hebrew.Polish
and German mixed. He said that man v
Hebrews thonght it was a stain on their
race that one of them had tried to as
sassinate Prick. It was as an Anarohiat,
and not as a Hebrew, that he committed
the deed, and he should be honored for it
As the speaker olosed a man jumped to
the platform and said: "The meeting's ad
journed." The orowd got out of the hall in
a hurry, and Emma Goldmann and her
'group'' made for "Tough Mike's," in
Fifth street
District Attorney Nicoll said yesterday
that he should not ask the grand jury to In
diet Herr Most, the editor ot Die FreUuit,
and Carl Manser, the editor of Der Anarch
ill. If they had made their anarchistic
utterances at a mass meeting in
stead of in print, said Mr. Nicoll,
they might have' teen - Indicted
for taking part in an unlawful assemblage.
I don't believe, however, that the Legisla
ture Intended in that statnte to cover edi
torial utterances.
LYNCHERS DISAPPOINTED.
The Sheriff Gets Onto Their Finn and
Ships the VTonte 1 Frlsoner Off to the
Penitentiary BGB of the Mob Vents
Itself TVildlr.
Columbia, & C, Aug. 1. Special
George Kinard, a negro who assaulted a
white lady at Irmo, about ten days ago,
narrowly escaped being lynched last night,
and a bloody battle between a well-organized
mob armed with rifles and dynamite
and the Sheriff's posse guarding the Lex
ington jail was averted by the coolness of
Sheriff Drafts.
Ever since the arrest of Einard the
people of Irmo have openly boasted of
their determination to storm the jail and
wreak summary vengance npon the pris
oner. Sunday night was chosen for the
bloody deed. The lynchers were well
organized and numbered over 150 men.
Ther were determined to have Einard, if it
became necessary to kill the guards and
blow the jail up to get him, and they
carried the dynamite with which to carry
out their purpose. They proposed if they
found the jail guarded to pour hot shot
into it from both ends and front with
Winchester rifles, and to use the dynamite
in the rear, which they could approach
with more safety.
Some of the would-be lynchers, however,
could not control their tongues, and at a
church near Lexington, yesterday, they In
advertently let drop a hint of their purpose.
A friend 'of the Sheriff" heard it. He
straightway hastened to the village and no
tified the Sheriff, who determined to assume
the responsibility ot Bringing Einard to
Columbia. He accordingly got him ready
and sent him by two trusted deputies on the
midnight train and lodged him in the State
penitentiary for safe keeping.
About 2 o'clock Sheriff Drafts was
awakened from his slumbers and the keys
demanded of him. Knowing what was
wanted he told the committee that waited
on him that the prisoner had been removed,
'lhey doubted, and he told them that if
they would select six good men to act for
them he would show them through the jail
and let them convince themselves of the
truth of what he said. This was done, and
after going through every cell and the cage
they expressed themselves satisfied and
left, giving wild vent to their wrath and
chagrin by loud oaths and firing their guns
in the air.
ROMANCE OF A FIGHTER.
MANY BURNED BY NAPHTHA.
A Spark From a Flpe Starts av Disastrous
Fire An Keplosion of a Tank Follows
Four of 111" Injured May Die.
Springfield, O., Aug. L Special
The Big Four Kail road wreck at Cold
Springs of the first section of freight
train No. CS which occurred at 12 P. M.,
took fire at 7 o'clock thii evening
through an unknown person's carelessness.
This person was smoking a pipe, a cinder
from which fell on some debris saturated
with naphtha. Instantly there was a flash
and the debris for CO feet was in flames.
At the time there were 200 men working
and looking on in the vicinity of the
wreck. The flames spread with great
rapidity and about 7:30 had licked their
way to a naphtha tank from which
a small stream of oil as thick as'a straw was
spurting. Suddenly there was a terrific ex
plosion. The whole heavens were for a
minute illuminated and the naphtha tank
was in piecps.
One end was carried up a distance of 100
feet and deposited on a cliff 200 feet from
the scene of the explosion. Another piece
wns sent flying eastward up the railway
track.
The men had been cautioned to keep away
from the taak by some of the wiser ones,
fearing an explosion, but they worked
away, indifferent to the danger that men
aced them.
The four believed" to be fatally burned
are: John Hanies, Ernest Wilson, Tom
Harris, quarrymen working at Cold Springs,
and William Crane, section man. Each
of these is burned so badly that
they have lost most of their
cuticle. The others badly burned

FEOM PHILADELPHIA TO ITALY
A New Oosan Line Being; Conslderrd
Between the Two F.acrs.
Philadelphia, August 1. An im
portant matter now occupying the atten
tion of a number of prominent merchants at
this port is'the establishment of a direct
service of steamships between Philadelphia
and Mediterranean ports. While the ar
rangements are not yet perfected the pro
ject has met with such general favor that
success is assured.
Importers of goods from Mediterranean
ports, who have heretofore shipped through
New York, promise to support the line and
Philadelphia's largest importer of Italian
marble has guaranteed his business to the
new line and already has engaged certain
portions of every vessel that may be put on
the line, for that purpose.
The parties here who are engineering the
scheme are inclined to be verv reticent'and
say matters are not yet in shape, but it is
known that the ships that are to run on the
new line are to be supplied by James
Enott. of New Castle-on-Tvne. The estab
lishment of a direct line of steamships to
the Mediterranean has been Philadelphia's
marine dream for years.
A PECULIAB SUPERSTITION
Which Frevails Throughout the Southern
Fart of Washington.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 1. Special.
C W. Loo mis, who has just returned from
a horseback ride through the eastern part
of the State, tells of a peculiar superstition
which prevails among the Okanogan In
dians. Near the town of Concouully, in
Okanogan county, is a lake called Con
conully entirely surrounded by steep cliffs
with neither inlet nor outlet, the road, which
follows the shore for four miles, being cut
out of the banks. No Indian will camp on
its shores or taste of its waters. Many years
ago five or six members of the Okanogan
tribe who were camped by this lake myste
riously disappeared, none of their brethren
knew whither.
The rest of the tribe believed that they
had been swallowed by' some huge
antediluvian monster which inhabited
the lake and the tradition has been handed
down to the present generation, so that all
Indians hold the lake in superstitions
dread.

He Eloped With the Fretly Daughter ot a
Leading Mormon Bishop.
Salt Lake, Ang. 1. -The old-time prize
fighter heavy-weight, rival of John L. Sulli
van, has caused a tremendous sensation in
the Mormon Church. He stole a Bishop's
daughter because he loved her. His name
is Herbert Slade. It was not long ago that
Slade, who is known as the Maori and the
pet of Richard E. Fox, came to this coun
try. Fox imported him because he be
lieved he was the only man who could whip
John L. Sullivan.
Slade was a fine, bulky specimen of man
hood, with a fist like a hammer-head, and it
was fully believed by his admirers that be
could easily dispose of the man from Bos
ton. But he proved a dismal failure and
was relegated about three years ago to Salt
Lake. He is now hiding from one of the
maddest men in this vicinity. His name is
Bishop John Soeasley, and he ruled over a
small agricultural town known as Mova,
about one hundred milesfrom Salt Lake. He
is wealthy. His only child, a girl about 18
years old, was a recognized beauty. The girl
was locked up in her chamber, from which
Slade stole her in most approved and ro
mantio style. Trier hastened to a Justice
of the Peace, who lived 20 miles away over
a dreary stretch of desert, and were made
one for the usual consideration.
The Bishop and all bis olan pursued the
elopers, but they arrived at the house of the
Justice of the Peace half an hour too late.
The father tried to have the fighter arrested
for abduction, but when he admitted his
daughter was of age he found he could not

SOKE EELICS OP ST. JAKES.
A Flees of Garment and a Lock of Ills
Hair at San Francisco.
San Fbancisco, Ang. L The new
Church of St James, at the corner of Guer
rero and Twenty-third streets, claims to
have secured not only a portion of an
object which was inclose contact to the
Apostle St James, bat also a small lock of
his bair. Recently the relics were exposed
to view at the church, the occasion being
the Feast of St James. Especially elabor
ate services were held, attended by large
congregations, and the shrine was visited by
hundreds of people during the day.
A little altar especially arranged for this
purpose was stationed just within the rail
ing at the left side ot the sanctuary and
thereon the golden reliquary reposed. The
case was all that conld be seen from the
railing and the inscription in Latin could I
not be distinguished. Close inspection re
vealed two very small dark objects within
the glass of the reliquary. One of these
was said to be a bit of cloth from a garment
worn by St James and the other's minute
