RUSSIAN SAILORS MUTIAY
Fierce Battle Fought in the City
of Cronstadt.
RIOTING CONTINUED ALL NIGHT.
Mutinous Sailors Say Their Chief
Grievances Are Poor Food and
Clothing and Lack of Liberty.
The sailors of the Russian squa-
dron at Cronstadt mutined, overpow-
ered their officers, landed and at-
tacked the shops, public buildings
and spirits stores. The troops were
called out and fighting ensued, dur-
ing which machine guns were used
and many persons were killed or
wounded. In addition a number of
houses were set on fire. The fighting
lasted all night long.
The outbreak started when the
sailors of the “Seventh Fort Equip-
age” revolted, and, it is rumored,
killed some of their officers. They
marched out of the barracks and im-
mediately plundered four spirits
shops. Crazed with liquor they re-
turned and seized their arms and
then went on a rampage, firing pro-
miscuously upon the troops and the
loyal sailors. Later they were joined |
by many of their comrades. |
The number of mutineers totaled
3,000. It is difficult to ascertain the
number of the casualties, but officers
place the figures at 200. Many
wounded persons are in hospitals.
The sailors say their chief griev-
aaces are poor food and clothing and
an insufficient amount of liberty
from’ barracks. Roughs joined in the
pillage, but the wor kmen did not par:
ticipate. «!
The governer
of: Grongtods tele-
graphed the general staff that the
mutiny had been crushed; that there
was no likelihopd .of anyj .renewal
of the revolt; that reports to the ef-
fect that members of the guard had
Jjoimed the mutinéers were false and
that there was no truth in the re-
ports that . the muineers had seized
he ‘arsenal and the forts. The gov-
ernor in his telegram said that many
of the *mutinous sailors tried to es-
cape in boats to the mainland, but
that. they were captured and. were
Heing brought back to.Cronstadt.
GEN. TRZPOFF REMOVED.
The: Czar ‘Also Removes Obstacles to
Count Witte’s Projects.
Gen. Trepoff has “been removed
« ¥rom the powerfiil position of gover-
nor general of St. Petersburg and
assistant minister of the interior, and
Russia’s premier has agreed to im-
mediate universal suffrage. The re-
tirement of Gen. Trepoff is hailed
with delight. It strongly enhances
the chances of the populace giving
‘Count Witte time to carry out his
projects, which were in danger, ow-
ing to the impatiezce of the revolu-
« Lionists.
The orthodox - lary have issued a
stirring appeal to the provincial
priests to aid in the restoration = of
weace in the country.

FATAL HEAD-ON COLLISION
Sixteen Hurt, Ten Seriously by
Passenger Train Hitting Freight.
Five persons were killed, 10 ser-
iously injured and a score slightly
turt in a head-on collision between a
passenger train and a coal train on
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Waest-
ern railrcad, near Huniock's creek, a
short distance from Vilkes Barre,

The dead: Frank Ringsdorf, Scran-
ton, fireman on freight train; M. J.
Graham, Scranton, express messen-
ger; Frank Poole, Scranton, engineer
passenger train; H. E. Stickney,
Kingston, fireman on passenger train;
George Snyder, Scranton, engineer on
freight train.
Of the injured Christopher Beav-
er, Scranton, conductor on passenger
train, is expected to die.
The injuries to the passengers
were caused by the terrific force of
the trains coming together, the en-
gine vn the passenger train being
forced almost through the baggage
car.
The wreck occurred on the Blooms-
burg division. The passenger train,
which was running from Northumber-
land, Pa. to Wilkes Barre, dashed in-
to the freight on a sharp curve at the
base of the mountain. The passen-
ger train was running about 35 miles
an hour. It is said that the freight
crew misread the orders, and instead
of waiting on a siding for the pass-
enger train came out on the main
track. Z
POLAR EXPLORERS ARE SAFE.
Canadian Cruiser Brings Report of
.Amundsen’s Expedition.
The auxiliary Canadian cruiser
Neptune arrived at St. John’s N. F.,
after ‘a perilous voyage into Hudson
:Bay, which the cruiser entered Oct.
3, later in the’season than any other
vessel is known to have done. On
board the cruiser was Major Moodie,
governor of Hudson Bay. Twice the
Neptune struck rocks during the
voyage, "and was leaking badly on ar:
riving at St. John’ Ss.
Major .Moqdie reports hore, had a
communication from Capt. Ronold
Amundsen’s Norwegian expedi tion in
search of the nor{h magnetic pole,’as
rencently as May 22 of the present
year. The ship Gjoads, with: the
expedition on board, spent last win-
ter in Sympson's strait, King William
Land, 400 miles north of Fullerton,
Governor Moodie's headquarters, on
the northwest side of Hudson Bay.
Two’ letters were received, the sec-
ond of which reported that the mag-
netic - and other scientific observa-
tions of the party had been conduct-
ed undisturbed since the establish-
ment of the magnetic station in Oc-
tober, 1903.
Half of the party began an explora-
tion of Victoria Land in April last,
hoping to achieve the northwest pas-
sage this summer and come out

Militia Stood Ty Wi By While ig
and Children Were Burne
KNIVES AND AXES WERE USED
Procession of School Children Sur-
rounded and Some Were Torn
to Pieces.
As details of what happened
throughout European Russia during
the upheaval arrive tie story grows
more revolting. In the Baltic provia-
ces murder, riot and incendiarism
prevailed. In Poland even the cler-
gy, Catholic and Protestant, participat-
ed in the manifestations in favor of
autonomy of the ancient kingdom.
In Southwestern Russia nardly a
city or town escaped Jewish massa-
cres. At Tomsk, Siberia, according
to the latest reports received here,
the whole population of 40,000 and
the military stood by while 600 wo-
men and children were durned in a
theater.
The court house at Tomsk and the
mayor's residence, where the stu-
dents and revolutionists took refuge
from the mob, were burned and those
who tried to fly were killed in the
streets. In Moscow the social revo-
lutionists and the “Black Hundred”
and the Cossacks and police fought
bloody battles.
The descent of the butchers of
Moscew with their knives and axes
upon the students was one of the
most shorrible chapters, but net as
pitifull, however, as the attack of the
Black Hundred on, a procession of
scheol children carrying red flags.
‘When the children sought to escape a
cordon of police barred the way and
the youthful martyrs were beaten in-
to insensibility and in some cases
were actually torn to pieces. In the
Alexander garden at Moscow ' Cos-
sacks lay in ambush in the shrubbery
and set upon their victims with whips.
Many were beaten ‘to: death rand
others were hardly able to crawl
away.
The reports from the Caucasus
show there is no immediate prospect
of suppressing the present state of
anarchy. - Battles between Tartars
and ‘Armenians continue and the .de-
struction of the railroads and lack of
troops make it impossible for the au-
thorities to cope with the situation.
THREE KILLED
Tragedy Caused by Man Hurrahing
for Jeff. Davis.
A cheer for Jeff Davis uttered by a
drunken man on Beaver creek on the
Kentucky side of the river near
Naugatuck,’ W. Va, resulted in a
battle in which three men were kill-
ed and three others wounded.
There had been much drinking af-
ter the election on Tuesday. Con
Estep, an old Confederate soldier,
was among the crowd. When he yell-
ed “Hurray for Jeff’ Davis!?: C.
Prater, a young man, told Estep to
‘Shut ‘up or he would kill him.”
Enoch Bentley told Estep to “hurr#®h
for anyone he pleased.” Prater turn-
ed upon Bentley and emptied his pis-
tol, five shots taking effect.
After he fell Bentley shot and killed
Prater, Rube Morgan, a friend of
Prater’s, who had shot Bentley after
the latter fell fired at’ Tom and John
Bowling, friends of Estep, and thea
fled, but he was shot and mortally
wounded by the Bowlings. Bentley
died soon after the shooting and
| Morgan died two hours later. During
{the fight John Sadler belonging to
the Prater gang, was dangerously
wounded. The Bowlings were both
hit, but not fatally hurt.

CH INESE ATROCITIES.
iviigsionary Who Escaped Tells a
Horrifying Story.
Dr. Machie, the American mission-
ary who escaped the massacre at
Lienchow, confirming the previous
accounts of the outbreak, adds horri-
fying details of the atrocities com-
mitted on the American women.
When the disturbances commence:
the mob seized Miss Chestnut and
Mrs. DMachle and exposed them to
public view in the Chinese temple.
Amy Machle, the doctors 10-year-
old child, was carried off and throwa
alive into the river. The rioters
stripped Miss Chestnut and threw
her into, the river also. While the
two were struggling in the water
three Chinamen speared them with
tridents.
Miss Chestnut’s body and Amy
Machle’s head were pierced. Mrs.
Machle appealed to the rioters, but
the mob stened her braias out, strip-
ped the body and dropped it into the
river. The mob then captured Mr.
and Mrs. Peale, stripped them naked
exposed them for 15 minutes, club-
bing Mr. Peale to death in his wife's
presence and subsequently killed
Mrs. Peale in the same brutal fash-
ion.
BRIDE'S DOUBLE CRIME.
Kilis Husband and Herself Shortly
After Marriage.
After being a bride for less than a
day, Mrs. Helen Johnston, aged 17,
killed her husband, Randolph C.
Johnston, then killed herself in Per
guimans County, N.
Mrs. Johnston was found cn the
floor in front of a dresser. She had
fired a bullet in her mouth. Before
destroying herself she shot her hus
band three times.
The’ couple were married in the
evening. When festivities were fin-
ished they droye to the bridegroom’s
home and retired shortly after
night. ~ Both were found dead. in
their nightclothes., The girl left no
word of explanation.
PREACHER SENT TO PRISON.
Callery Junction.
John Martin, alias John
of Adrain, Mich., a traveling preach:
er, charged with horse stealing, was
sentenced to one year in the peniten-
tiary by Judge B. G. Young at Mar:
ion O. During the time Martin has
been confined in jail he conducted
religious services, converting a num-
ber of prisoners, among them being
tity by writing a letter to his wife
and child in Chicago.
The preacher, when sentenced, told
the judge he stole the horse and
buggy in order to take his wife to
the home of her people in Callery
Junction, Pa. The judge shed tears
in passing sentence.
Ballot Box Stolen.
Theft of the ballot box in the
thirty-third division of the Twenty:
sixth ward, of Philadelphia, within a
few minutes after the polls closed,
and substituting another one fixed for
the machine, was the amazing fraud
disclosed before the Judges sitting in
the election court and resulted in two
of the election officers being held in
$300 bail for court by Magistrate
Kochersperger. John Schweckler, a
clerk in the office of City Solicitor
Kinsey, for whom a warrant had also
been issued, was declared to be a fugi-

BERRY DEFEATS PLUMMER
Unexpected Results in Country Dis-

Counties Roll Up Tremendous
Vote.
Complete returns from 61 of the 67
counties in Pennsylvania give W. H.
Berry, Democrat, for State Treasurer,
a plurality over J. Lee Plummer, Re-
publican of 81,026 votes. The coun-
ties yet to be heard from are
Armstrong, Chester, Crawford, North-
ampton, Susquehanna and Perry. Of
the missing counties Armstrong and
Susquehanna give estimated plurali-
ties for Plummer of 1,300, while the
estimated pluralities for Berry in
Chester, Crawford, Northampton and
Perry are 5,525. Basing the com-
putation on these estimates, Berry's
apparent plurality in the State is
35,251.
The vote for Superior court has
not yet been computed in many coun-
ties, but in nearly every couaty the
three Republican judges ran far
ahead of Plummer.
The vote for State Treasurer in
Philadelphia was. Plummer, 98,760;
Berry, 134,797, giving the latter a
plurality of 36,037. On the county
ticket, Brown, City party and Demo-
‘crat, has a majority of 43,333.

of Cincinnati, has been elected Gover.
nor of Ohio for three vears by a plur

Myron T. Herrick, of Cleveland, Re-
publican, is “settled, as also is the
Democratic working majority in both
houses of the State Legislature, but
there is still some uncertainty as to
the rest of the State ticket.
Chairman Harvey Garber, of the
Democratic committee, figured plu-
ralities for Pattison that aggregated
close to 55,000. The Republicans
have given. out no later estimates
than that of Chairman Charles Dick,
conceding the election of Pattison by
25,000 plurality..
Republican estimates give the
Democrats:from two to five majority
in the net Senate and from 10 to 15

MARYLAND
Suffrage Amendment Voted Down
Baltimore Goes: Republican.
The election in Maryland was for
a State Comptroller, Legislature and
county officers, and in Baltimore for
a Judge of the Supreme Court, Sher-
iff, City Clerk and Surveyor. The is-
sue which engrossed popular atten-
:ion was a proposed constitutional
amendment, the avowed purpose of
which was to disfranchise negro vot-
ars, but which aroused widespread
opposition among many Democrats
and foreign voters in both parties.
Owing to the extreme length of the
pallot the count has been slow and
the votes in some of the city pre-
cincts and remote county districts
have not been counted. The returns
30 far received, however, make cer-
tain the defeat of the proposed con-
stitutional amendment by a majority
of 20,0000 or more and very prebably
the election of McCullough (kep.)
State Comptroller over Atkinson,
(Dem.) and the election of Republi-
cans in three out of four of the city
legislative districts. The Republican
candidate for Sheriff, City Court Clerk
and City Surveyor in Baltimore also
are elected. Chief Judge Harlan
(Dem.) is re-elected by 10,000 major-
ity. The Republicans did not nomi-
nate a candidate against Judge Har-
lan, though there. was an Independent
Republican candidate. The political
complexion of the: next Legislature is
ancertain and will not be known until
the official count has been completed.
NEW YORK CITY
Justice Gaynor Grants Order for
Recount of Votes.
With the granting of an order by
Supreme Court Justice William J.
Gaynor in Brooklyn compelling Police
Commissioner McAdoo to remove
every ballot box from all the precincts
in Greater New York to the bureau of
elections William R. Hearst, the de-
feated Municipal Ownership league
candidate, took his first legal step in
a fight to secure a recount of the
votes cast on election day. ;
The complete returns give MecClel-
lan a majority of 3,485 votes, the
smallest ever recorded for a success-
ful mayorality candidate, and a result
which might readily be reversed by
a recount of ‘the ballots.
The next Assembly will stand: Re-
publicans, 111; Democrats, 35; Muni-
cipal Ownership, 4. Last year it
stood: Republican,’ 104; Democrats,
46. . The Senate holds over this
year.
NEW JERSEY.
The election in New Jersey in-
creased the Republican hold on the
State Legislature and makes it im-
possible that a Democrat should suc-
ceed United States Senator John P.
Dryden in 1907. In the State Sen-
ate ithe Republicans made a gain of
three, electing Republicans irom
Gloucester, Salem and Somerset
counties, which for the last three
years have had Democratic Senators.
Only four of the 21 State Senators
will be Democrats.
VIRGINIA,
Claud A. Swaason. (Dem.), was
‘elected Governor of Virginia by
dbout 20,000 plurality over Judge L.
I.. Lewis, the Republican candidate.
The vote everywhere was exceeding-
ly light, but Democratic apathy was
offset by unfavorable conditions on
the other side. The negroes through-
out the State abstained from voting
almost entirely. The Republicans
gain a few members in the Legisla-
ture.
Anti-Mormon Ticket Wins.
At Salt Lake City, Ut., the Ameri-
can party, of which former United
4 States Senator Thomas Kearns is a
leader, elected Ezra Thompson mayor
after a bitter campaign, in which
oppositica to the Mormon Church
was the sole issue. Mayor Richard
P. Morris, Mormon and Democrat,
ran ahead of Chief of Police William
J. Lynch, Republican and Gentile, for
whom United States Senator Reed
Smoot made a personal campaign.
Except some aldermen, the whole
American ticket probably is elected.
CHICAGO
With One Exception the Republican
Ticket Won.
The Republicans made a clean
