Paris (By Cable). A Russian war
ship, now off the island of Crete, and an
other at Piraeus, Greece, have been as
signed to participate with the French
ships selected, but which have not yet
started, in the naval demonstration
against Turkey as a result of the porte's
refusal to agree to lb financial reforms
determined upon by the powers for
Macedonia.
An Austrian r.diniral will probable as
sume command of the international
squadron, but this depends on the rank
of the officer Great Britain assigns to
the command of her warships. Ger
many, while not opposing the principle
of the demonstration, says she has no
warships available in the Mediterranean.
This is considered to be a diplomatic
move 10 retain Gcrtiian prestige in Tur
key. The deuiosi ration will not take the
form of closing the Strait of the Dar
danelles, as reported, since this would
interfere with neutral commerce. The ac
tual form will be determined npon by the
admiral, but it is considered likely that
the international squadron will occupy a
Turkish pur: or an island and withhold
the cut turns until the Sultan accedes to
the financial reform.

Croiistadt, (By Cable V During riot
ing among sailors and troops Wednesday
night machine gnus were employed
against 1 lie mutinous sailors who had
been joined by a battalion of artillery
men from the fortress and which raised
the total number of mutineers to rooo.
It is difficult to ascertain the number
of casualties, but officers place the figures
lit jno. Many wounded persons are in
ho-pitals. The sailors say their chief
grievances are poor food and clothing
and an insufficient amount of liberie
from barrack.
Roughs joined in the pillage and start

participate in these acts. Manv ( the
workmen and the civilian population have

and the docks are piled high with bag

The city is full of reinforcements from
St. Petersburg, and others still are arriv

was no renewal of the trouble during
the evening.
The tires are still glowing in the mar
ket and another group of buildings. The
stores and houses are boarded up and
Iroops are patrolling the streets.
Searchlights from warships and torpe
do boats ill the harbor are Hashing
across the waters in order to aid launches
in their search for individual mutineers
who are trying to escape to the main
land by boat. Though a majority ef the
mutineers have surrendered several hun

St. Petersburg (By Cable). This city
was 111 a turore ot cxciicnicnt all 01
'Thursday and late into the tiiht over
the news of the mutiny at Croiistadt.
Every one of the exaggerated reports of
the affair received credence in many
quarters, and half the inhabitants of the
capital believed that the mutiny was suc
cessful : ihat the troops sent from here
bad joined in Ihe revolt; thai the entire
garrison of St. Petersburg would follow
suit and that the town of Croiistadt had
been burned to the ground, together with
the surrounding iarms.
The place was represented as being in
the hands of 8,000 sailors, who had
murdered their officers, seized the arse
nal and bombarded the Imperial palace
at Peterbof, across the bay. Butchery
was said to have prevailed in the streets
all during tile? day and the rumors even
went to the extent of saying that Father
John of Croiistadt had left the bed on
which he was supposed lo be dying to
lead the mutineers.
Many of these sensational reports were,
of course, false, but sufficient details
have been received to prove that about
,1,000 sailors and a hutallion of artiller
ists from one of the ioiis engaged in a
mutiny, which was only put down by
about 7,000 Cossacks and troops of the
Imperial Guard hastily dispatched from
St. Petersburg and from the garrison
near Peterbof, and that machine guns
had to be employed. Before the arrival
of the troops the sailors many of whom
were drunk 011 liquor plundered from
the spirit shops, had set lire to the mar
ket and to several groups of houses.
The Governor of Cronstadt telegraphed
the General Staff at midnight that the
mutiny had been crushed; that there
was no likelihood of any renewal of the
revolt; that reports lo the effect that Ihe
members of the guard had joined the
mutineers were false, am! that there
was no truth in the report! that the mu
tineers bad seized the arsenal and the
forts. The Governor in his telegram
said that many of the mutinous sailors
tried to escape in boats to the mainland,
but that they. were captuicel and were
being brought back to CroivstaeL. lie

Atlantic Storm.
Washington, (Special). The armored
cruiser Wc-l Virginia, flagship of Ad-
I iniral Biownson's squadron, made the
run Irom Niutli l ass, at the moutli ot
ihe Mississippi River, to Cape Henry,
Virginia, when she brought President
Roosevelt home from his Southern trip,
at an average speed of 17.92 knots an
hour. But for the storm encountered
ol"; ihe Carolina coast ihc average would
have been better.
The big cruiser was hcing driven
through the Gulf Stream at a speed of
:8 lenots when the wind registered 52
utiles at Cape Hatleras, and it became
necessary to slow down. It was demon
strated to President Roosevelt that while
the West Virginia was plowing through
'.he grrat waves kicked up by the gale
it would have been possible to have
fought the broadside and stern guns.
An officer who was aboard said that by
slowing down to a knot speed Ihe bow

CONFESSES TO LAND FRAUDS.
Attorney Lambert Makea a
af It.
Omaha, Neb., (Special).-
Clean Breast
At last the
behind the
I government attorneys are
scenes in the great Western land grabs,
and have secured a confession from one
who was deep in the schemes whereby
millions of acres of public lands have
been stolen. The coming session of the
federal grand jury bids fair to return
hundreds of indictments against cattle
men and old soldiers who committed per
jury in carrying out the schemes of the
Attorr.cy Frank E. Lambert, who was
brought bade from Oregon last week c:n
a charge of subordination of perjury, in
connection with (he land frauds, has
made a clean breast of the scheme, ac
knowledging that he acted as go-between
for the cattlemen and old soldiers, and
has agreed lo go before the grand jury
and tell all he knows.
According to the story told by Lambert
he i'fted as agent for the cattle kings
for the purpose of securing soldiers'
homesteads and entries. He avers that
he did a wholeialc business and received
$-0 for each filing that he procured.
The soldiers took the lands with the
understanding that they were to be re
linquished to the caltlemen, thereby per
juring themselves. Many thousands of
acres were relinquished in this way.
The soldiers implicated are scattered
over Nebraska and Iowa, with a few in
Illinois. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri
and other central states and quite a few
are. in government homes for soldiers in
the different states. The federal grand
jury convenes next week and much of its
time will be devoted to Lambert's dis
closure. IN THE HELD OF LABOR.

Commercial Review
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
'.radc says: Cooler weather in most sec
tions of the country has stimulated retail
ileniand for seasonable merchandise,, im
proving the tone of business where there
had been more or less irregularity, but
cports are still somewhat mixed as tej
:olleclions. Supplementary orders are
mining to the primary markets for wear
ing apparel, and in many cases shipments
ould show still larger gains over the
lame time last year if transporting facil
ities were better. This car shortage is
111 increasingly disturbing clement.
There is rtill a very close comparison of
railway earnings, which were only 9 per
cent, larger lliau T11 October, 1jo4. In
dustrial conditions arc little disturbed
t)y labor controversies, although several
Important questions arc under discus
lion. Thus far work is scared inter
rupted and more cases of advances in
wages are reported.
At the South and West scarcity of
lalior retards orcrations, yet those sec
tions arc more prosperous than ever be
fore. Leading branches of manufactures
make good progress, most mills and fac
tories having orders for more remote
rlelivery than is customary, and especial
ly favorable statements are made re
specting lumber and flour mills. Failure
returns were very favorable in October,
liabilities falling 36 per cent, behind last
year's. For the first time in recent weeks
rxports from this port declined material
ly in comparison with the same week of
1904, the adverse balance amounting to
f.,K4,,io.3. Imports rose $1.94.1,025.
Forward business in hides during tlte
