Woods Bliss, second secreiary of the
Awerichu embassy, who has just re
turned here after three mouths’ vaca-
tion In Paris, was the victim of an
outrage by rowdies in one of the most
fashionable streets of the capital aud
escaped being beaten to death owing
to the timely arrival of the police.
Mr. Bliss was returning to the em-
bassy en foot from the yacht club
where Le had beet dining. On the
Horse Guard boulevard, opposite the
barracks of the Chevalier guard, the
secrelary was suddenly set upon by
two men who sprang out of the dark-
ness of the trees. Mr. Bliss kuvocked
down one of his assailants, but was
seized by sympathizers with the row-
dies, who had been attracted to the
spot by the disturbance, and he was
getting the worst of it when three po-
Hicemen and a house porter came to
his rescue and fought off aud seized his
assailants,
The rapidly gathering crowd, how-
ever, which sided against the police,
rushed at the officers and rescued the
prisoners. The police managed to stand
off the crowd and cover the retreat of
Mr. Bliss, who was badly cut about the
face, but not seriously injured. A po

The latest news from Sevastopol is
to the effect that many of the vessels
and crews of the Black sea fleet have
joined the mutineers
Governor General Kaulbars, at Odes-
sa, bas received the following dispatch
from Vice Admiral Choukniu, com-
manding the Black sea fleet:
“The mutineers left the Kniaz Po-
temkine, and the vessel is now in my
hands. The sailors, together with the
soldiers of the Brest regiment, who
mutinied, have shut themselves in the
Lazareff barracks with some guns
When fresh troops arrive I shall at-
tack, though I fear the artillerymen
may joiu the mutineers.
“A very serious state of affairs pre
valls. Several officers have been kill
od”
Many telegrams sent to Sevastopol
remain unanswered, and the iundica-
tions are that the mutineers are still
resisting.
The council of the St. Petersburg
Workmen's union has sent the follow-
ing to the mutineers:
“Heartiest greeting to the sailors and
soldiers who bave decided to follow the
glorious example of the crew of the
Knlaz Potemkine In declaring them-
selves fighters for liberty In fraternal
union with the workmen of St. Peters-
burg.”
A telegram from Odessa says there
is a rumor there that the mutineers of
the Black sea fleet Intend to take pos-
session of Odessa.
The military authorities at Sevastopol
ave notified the government that iso-
lation and exhaustion of the mutineers
is the ouly means they have of coping
with the revolt. They say It would be
unsafe to employ troops hitherto loyal
against the mutineers.
The president and all the principal
members of the congress of peasants
at Moscow were arrested there under
the authority of martial law. Among
those arrested was M Tchirlkoff, au-
thor of thé play, “The Chosen People,”
which was presented in London and
New York early this year by the Bt
Petersburg Dramatic company.

ensued, which lasted for some hours.
The authotities seized Afty four boxes

Are still masters of the situation at
Admiralty point and though armed par-
ties have apparently free access to the
town, notwithstanding the announce-
ment by the authorities that the roads
loading to it were blockaded, dis
patches received from Vice Admiral
Chouknin, commanding the Black sea
fleet, pressut the situation (n a bad
light.
Beyond proclaiming martial law no
decisive méasures bave been taken by
the admiralty conntil, but it is reported
that the council is agreed as to the jus-

NEW YORK, Nov. 28-0Oue of the
most interesting features of the life
insurance investigation developed at
the sessiou of the Armstrong comunit-
tee when Theodore F. Banta, cashier
of the New York Life 'nsurance com
pany, testified that about the begin
ping of 11 Edmund D. Randolph,
treasurer of the company, opened the
vaults of the company, removed New
York city stock valued at $700,000 and
put a check of the Central National
bank for $700,000 ln its place. Mr
Banta sald he helped to open the vaults
at the order of Mr. Randolph and that
he supposed Mr. Randolph acted for
the fluauce committee. Tle stock was
kept out for a few days and was then
returned and the check withdrawn
The transaction was not recorded on
the books of the company so far as
Mr. Banta knew, The effect of the
operation would be that any one hav-
ing that stock would have $700,000
worth of untaxable property at the end
of the year. Mr, Banta did not know
who received the stock. Mr. Randolph
is expected to be called to the stand
shortly. .
George W. Perkins, vice president of
the New York Life Insurance company
aud member of the firm of J. PP. Morgnn
& Co, bankers, described to the com-
mittee the transaction which resulted
in his receipt of $40,193 from Kidder,
Peabody & Co. of Boston as half the
profits of the sale of $2.000,000 worth
of bonds of the Mexican Central Rall
road company. Milton M. Mattison,
a bookkeeper of the New York Life
Insurance company, had previously
testified that $030,000 of the life jusur-
ALCe company’s money was used in the
transaction and that Mr Perkias got
the profit. Mr Perkins said that he
went into the transaction for the Nylic
fund, which [3s owned by the agents of
the New York Life Insurance com-
pany, and that Le invested the profits
for that fund The life Insurance com
pany, he sald, profited to the extent of
5 per cent interest on the loan of $430,
000. He stated that the company had
no right to the $40,163 profits
Mr. Perkins sald also that J, P. Mor.
gan & Co. had taken up uotes of Ap
drew Hamilton and E. E. McCall, for
merly justice of the New York state
supreme court, amounting to $36.310
at the request of President John A
McCall of the New York Life Insur
ance compaoy, aud that the amount
with Interest was paid to Andrew
Hamilton by the New York Life In-
surance company from the proceeds of
a syndicate ino United Btates Steel cor
poration stock.
President John A. McCall told the
committee that he had told the Central
National bank and E. E. McCall that
Hamilton was good for $50.000 and
that they bad theu taken Hamil on's
notes. President McCall sald the New
York Life Insurance company owed
Hamilton the $50,310 aud took the syu-
dicate profits to pay him The result
was that the payment did not appear
on the books of the company. The rea-
son was that he wanted to keep Ham-
iltou's expenses down.
Much evidence was given both by
Mr. Perkins and President McCall
about the New York Security and
Trust company's participation in the
United States Steel corporation syndl
cate to the extent of $3,250,000, having
the deposits of the New York Life In-
surance company for about that
amount. The New York [Life Insur
ance company got T8 per cent of the
profits, and Mr. Perkins contended
that it was a safe and profitable ven-
ture. President McCall sald the life
Insurance company should have par
ticipated directly instead of ludirectly
