There is a great in the]
agrarian agitation in various parts of |
Russia, notably in the Caucasus, |
where there have been serious dis-|
|
turbances. In the Gori district the |
peasants forcing the nobles, under the |
menace of death, to announce to the |
newspapers that they are “handing |
|
over their holdings to the peasants |
freely, or are accepting one-tenth in-|
stead of one-quarter of the crop |
yield. |
The refusal of the peasants in the |
village of Inchadedshan to pay Prince |
Inukhransky the proportion of the erop |
to which he was entitied led to a
serious conflict between the peasants |
and Cossacks. The Cossacks fired |
on the peasants, killing and wounding |

and according to an unofficial ac-

Cossack was killed. Prince Inukhran- |
sky himszalf had a narrow escape from
shots fired at him. |
RUSSIA REFUSES INDEMNITY |
Czar Informs President That He Will
Not Pay One Perny Tribute to
Janan. {
Ambassador Meyer communicated!
to President Roosevelt Emperor |
Nicholas’ last word and his ultimatum
Sy
that Russia will not pay one penny |
of indemnity fo Japan in any. guise |
whatsoever.
Russia is ready to agree to a ai- |
vision of Sakhalin, Japan retaining
that portion previously belonging to
her and Russia retaining the north-
ern portion.
Russia will pay for the maintenance
of her prisoner but will make no
other concession in addition to those
already made.
If Japan does not accep these
terms, peace is impossible and the
war will continue.
Saturday’s session at Pecrismouth
was fruitless and as the Japanese
envoys had received not answer at 10 |
o'clock Sunday night the meeting
was postponed by mutual agreement.
Hanged.
John Moore, a negro, 20 years old, |
was taken from Craven county jail |
in Newbern, N. C., and lynched by
a mob of 100 masked men, armed with
rifles and revolvers. |
With his hands tied behind him. the |
negro was led out about a third of |
a mile from the jail to the draw of |
Neuse river bridge, hanged to one of |
its braces and his body riddled with |
bullets. |
Moore entered the country store of
Georg: Eubanks at Clarks, seven |
miles from Newbern, last Friday when |
the proprietor’s wife was the only]
one in. The negro attempted robbery
and struck Mrs. Eubank on the hand
with a meat ax, fracturing bones and
inflicting injuries which, "if they do
not prove fatal, will at least caus2

suffering.
Warsaw Under Martial Law.
The whole government of Warsaw
has been placed under martial law. |
A bridge on the Vistula railway near
Radom has been blown up and com- |

to begin at Lodz. Since martial law
was declared, hundreds of arrests have |
been made, mostly of Socialists at
Lodz and that vicinity, where dis-
orders still continue.
20 MEXICANS KILLED
Carelessness in Use of Dynamite Said |
to Have Been Cause.
Twenty Mexican laborers were kill-

namite at the port works at Manzanil- |
lo. The bodies of the Killed were |
horribly mangled. The remains were |
buried in a common grave at Man-
zanillo cemetery.
It is said that the explosion was
the result of carelessness on the part
of some of the laborers. The families
of those killed have been indemnified |

Lightning Causes Loss of Half Million
Dollars in Brooklyn.
A loss of more than $500,000 was
caused by a fire started by lightning
at the extemsive plant of the Bush
Terminal Warehouse company at the
foot of Forty-fourth street, Brooklyn.
Filled with thousands of bales of cot-
ton, the warehouse burned fiercely and
stubbornly. The fire department was
handicapped by a lack of water in that
available. Fireboats from the
the most effective work. .
When lightning struck the stores
the shock was felt for several blocks.
Almost immediately. flames leaped
from the low-lying structures. A larg:
number of trans-Atlantic freight
steamers, lying at the Bush company’s
docks, were in peril, but their captains
immediately cut loose and floated out
into the stream, being subsequently
picked up by tugs or®gotten under
way with their own steam.

DIRECTORS WANT INQUIRY
Will Assist State in Investigating
Equitable Affairs.
SOME BAD LOANS WERE MADE
Excessive Salaries Paid, Secret
Pensions and Inside Deals
for Private Profit.
The Equitable Life Assurance So-
ciety joined with the state of New
York in asking for a full investiga-
tion in court of its directors and of-
ficers and their alleged wrongdo-
ings in managing the money of the
society. The document which an-
nounced this determination was the
answer of the 49 Equitable directors
to charges made against them in
connection with ‘a suit brought
against the Eguitable Life Assurance
Society by the state. This answer
was filed with Attorney General
Julius. M. Mayer.
Admission. is made that some of-
ficials of the Equitable have been
guilty of improper and illegal acts.
In all 13 charges are answered by
the directors. Among these an-
swers , they admit the $250,000 loan
to the Depew Improvement Compa-
ny. They . admit the $685,000 loan
of the Mercantile Trust = Company,
but waive responsibility in this loan
so far as the board of directors is
concerned and indicate Messrs.
Alexander, Jordan and Deming as
the person having the most intimate
pass | knowledge of these transactions.
The charge that excessive salaries
were paid to officers of the Egquit-
able is not directly answered, but
admission is made that
to certain Equitable .officials who
were also directors in other compan-
ies. In defense the answer states
that these practices were not known
to the whole board of directors.
Outlining their belief as to the best
policy to pursue in fixing the blame
for the Equitable scandals the direc-
| tors say first that the blame for al-
leged cases of misconduct will be
found to rest on individual officers
and not upon the directors as a
body. Having made this explana-
tion the answer then admits in a
general way the wrongdoing charged.

PROHIBITION TICKET
Democratic Candidate for
Treasurer Indorsed.
At the Pennsylvania State Prohibi-
tion Convention in Williamsport by a
vote of 120 to 70, William H. Berry,
the Democratic candidate, was nomi-
nated for State Treasurer, his op-
ponent being Dr. Charles W. Hunting-
ton, of Williamsport. The choice was
made unanimous amid the protests of
the friends of the Williamsporter.
An effort to nominate John Stewart
State
for Supreme court justice failed and
was:
John D. Gill, of Greensburg,
placed on the ticket instead. It was
decided to name only one candidate
for the Superior court, and Homer
I. Castle, of Pittsburg, was selected
by acclamation.
At the mass meeting William H.
Berry and Homer L. Castle accepted
the nomination tendered by the con-
vention. The State Central commit-
tee held a meeting and elected David
B. McCalmont, of Venango county, as
State chairman.

party and charges that false registra-

municipal affairs are prompted by the
saloons. The present management of
the Republican party is held responsi-
ble for the fact that Pennsylvania is
recognized throughout the country as
the abode of political graft and plun-
der. Legislative distribution of ap-
propriations, regardless of institution-
al merit, as a reward of party fealty
or as personal perquisites of legis-
lators is declared to be in essence
bribery and embezzlement.
RAILROADS BUSY
Large Additions to Working Force
in Car Shops.
One of the most significant evi-
dences of the heavy freight traffic
that is being handled by the railroads
this season appears in the statement
that the Pennsylvania“ lines west of
Pittsburg have been compelled to in-
crease the repair forces working in
the car shops to keep the freight roll-
ing stock in good = condition. This
statement was made in the general
offices of the Pennsylvania lines, ex-
plaining the additional forces that
have been put on at the various large
car shops of the Pennsylvania lines.
The addition to the car repairing em-
ployes amounts to several hundred
men, distributed over the two sys-
tems. Northwest and Southwest,
where the disabled cars have accum-
ulated.
Ordinarily, from 1,000 to 1,500
freight cars are turned out of the re-
pair shops of the two system daily.
In spite of this large output the num-
ber of cars requiring attention from
the repairers, has been growing in
the past few weeks, until, lest there
should be felt a shortage in the sup-
ply, and also to forstall congestion
in the mechanical department, it was
decided to increase the number of
men employed at the repair shops.
Repairing is being concentrated at
Crestline, Toledo, Ft. Wayne, and
| other points.

JAPAN MAKES CONGESSION
Attempts to Bargain with Russia
Over Sakhalin Island.
ROOSEVELT’S PLAN REJECTED
Russia Claims That All the Points
Involved in the War Have Been
Conceded.
When the peace envoys met on
August 23 Baron Komura in a few
words explained that Japan in her
great desire for peace was ready to
make certain “modifications” of the
original articles in the hope the Rus-
sia could find it possible to accept
them. He then presented in writing
to M. Witte the compromise propo-
sition which President Roosevelt had
suggested.
It offered to withdraw article 9,
providing for the payment by Russia
of Japan's bill for the cost of war, on
conditions that Russia would accept
article 5, which provides for the.ces-
sion of the island of Sakhalin, so
modified as to include an arrange-
ment for the purchase by Russia -of
the northern half of -the island for
1,200,000,000 yen. In addition it offer-
ed to withdraw entirely articles 11
and 12 (surrender of the interned
warships and limitation upon Rus-
sia’s sea power in the far east.) It
was the president’s compromise and
M. Witte knew its contents as well
as Baron Komura. The question of
whether he had been “buffing” was
put to the test.
Without a moment hesitation M.
Witte explained that the modifica-
tion proposed was merely a sham, a
diplomatic attempt to ask Russia to
pay war tribute under another name.
He could not accept it. He told
Baron Komura Russia wanted peace.
She had given the proofs in accept-
ing every article involving the fs-
sues upon which the war was fought,
but she could fight, and money for
tribute she would not pay, not a
kopeck. He asked a withdrawal of
all demands for tribute. And so the
plenipotentiaries separated to meet
again on Saturday, ostensibly to per-|
mit M. Witte to place in writing, as |
the rules of the conference require, |
his reply to the Japanese compromise |
proposition. In reality the adjourn-
ment over the two days was to give
each side an opportunity to consult
its government for the last time.
The suggestion of President
Roosevelt for breaking the existing
deadlock in the peace, negotiations
and rescuing the conference from
failure has become public. The Presi-
dent’s solution would ingeniously per-
mit the satisfaction of the Japanese
demands for reimbursement for the
cost of the war and at the same
time enable Russia to face the world
with the declaration that she had not
ceded a foot of territory or paid a
kopec of war tribute to the victor.
The solution, tersely stated, con-
sists in an agreement by Russia to
repurchase possession of either all
or half of the island of Sakhalin, now
in the military occupation of Japan,
for a sum the amount of which, if the
two countries cannot agr2e, shall be
decided by some method of arbitration
hereafter to be determined. The pur-
Japan would obtain from the cession
of the Chinese Eastern railroad and
the maintenance of the Russian pris-
oners in Japan, would, it is estimated,
about equal the amount claimed by
Japan as her bill for the cost of the
war.
Practically, therefore, the solution
offered by the President involves re-
cession by Japan upon article five,
the cession of Sakhalin and recession
by Russia upon article nine, indemni-
ty.

BIG GAS DEAL
Kansas Natural Gas Company Buys
y Out Rival.
The Kansas Natural Gas company
controlled by Pittsburgers, with T. N.
Barnsdall as president, concluded ne-
gotiations for the purchase of the
Peoples Natural Gas company of
Coffeyville, Kas. The price paid was
$900,000.
This purchase gives to the Kansas
company 43,000 acres of the best pro-
ducing gas and oil district in Mont-
gomery county, Kansas, the same field
in which the main properties of the
Kansas lies. The Peoples company
has a daily capacity of 550,000,000
feet of natural gas.
The purchase puts the Kansas com-
pany in a class by itself as a large
factor in the Kansas gas fields. 1

and strengthens the position of the
company greatly.

for $50,000,000 Royalties.
A motion was made in the Supreme

Company in the $50,000,000 suit
brought by Elizabeth F. Greenough

Greenough was to receive one-quart-
er of a cent on every gallon of oil
sold by the Standard Oil Company.
