A trav eler who left Helslngfors at midnight gave the Associated Press a history of the Sveaborg mutiny, which was pre cipitated by trouble over money due to 200 of the sappers and miners. Social Democrat and Social Revolutionary agi tators who were spreading their propa ganda among the troops promptly seized on the occasion to organise a big con spiracy. They told the soldiers that the time had come to put an end to the old regime: that a general strike in Russia had been declared, and that risings of the garrisons at Cronstadt, Sveaborg and Sevastopol would be Immediately followed by mutinies of the Baltic and Black Sea fleets, and that from the bases thus ob tained the government could be given its denth blow. The soldiers listened to the preachings of the agitators and men belonging to the Socialistic Red Guard were introduced into the fortress from the mainland. On Monday night the soldiers mutinied and made a prisoner of General Aggrlef, their commander, seized the machine guns and the guns in the batteries on three of the islands, and elected directing committee headed by Zyon. an ex-reserve officer. The mu tineers then shot three Junior officers and nfterward fired from the Emperor's bat tery upon the residence of the command nt of the fortress. The latter had with him the entire Sveaborg Regiment, which not only replied with the field guns at its disposal, but proved its loyalty by making an attempt to capture the posi tion of the mutineers at the point of the bayonet. This attempt, however, was re. pulsed with the Are of rapid-fire guns. Skatudden Revolt Falls. The next morning the sailors at the barracks at Skatudden, at the Instigation of the Red Guard, Joined the mutiny and hoisted the red flag. The garrison of the city had been reduced to two regiments of Infantry and two squadrons of Cos sacks when the mutiny occurred, and owing to the activity of the revolution ists and the panic In the city It was de cided to await reinforcements of troops ' and machine guns from Vlllmanstrand. j In the meantime, during the day, the fire of the torpedo cruiser Finn made a breach In the walls of the barracks at Skatudden, and at nightfall the majority of the mutineers surrendered. The re mainder escaped in boats. The mutineers at the fortress at ln tervnls during the day fired shrapnel shells from the nine-Inch guns at the loyal troops on Commander Island, nearer the shore. The troops manning the island battery were regarded as untrustworthy and were sent to the mainland. The breech blocks of the guns were removed and Cossack pick ets were left In charge of the fort. Base Hopes on Fleet's Mutiny. ' This was the most serious moment for both sides. While anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Baltic sriuadron, the mu tineers firmly believed that the fight was on their side, and they were also informed that the crews of the warships at Hango had thrown their officflrs overboard and were on their way to Join In the mutiny. Commander Koch, of the Red Guard, had already ordered a general strike and had torn up the railroad. Nevertheless. Gen eral Von Saltza, with some of the First Finnish Regiment, engaged to get Into Helslngfors from Vlllamstrand. The loy al troops did little firing that day or yesterday. After the blowing up of the magazines, the mutineers used mortars. The mutiny practically ended when the warships Slava and Bogatyr appeared in the offing at 6 o'clock last night, and after an exchange of signals with General GOVERNMENT Lalming. the commander of loyal troops 1 on Commander Island, fired upon the mu- tineers. Although the shots went wild, they weakened the spirit of the mutineers, who evidently accepted this display of loyalty on the part of the crews of the ships as sealing their, fate. Two hours later a white flag was run up at one end of the Emperor's battery, but from the other end a red flag appeared, immediately followed by the sound of a fusillade of rifles behind the parapet, showing that the mutineers were divided into two camps and were fighting among themselves. Soon after a motor boat, believed to contain the civilian leaders of the mu tiny, tried to escape to the mainland. The warships opened Are on the boat, but failed to reach the target. A battery of rapid-fire guns on Nicolat Island had better luck, however, riddling the boat and killing two of its occupants. The others Jumped overboard and swam ashore. Of three rowboats which followed the motor boat, one was captured, one was sunk and one escaped. Occasional shots were heard from the Emperor's battery until the traveler who furnished the above Information left Helslngfors at midnight, indicating that the boldest of the mutineers were deter mined to die rather than surrender, and that they were selling their lives dearly.

Tilly Drug Company of Indianapolis, In the Federal Court today, answered the action of the United States against the alleged "drug trust," suit against which was filed several weeks ago by represen tatives of the Attorney-General of the United States.

FAIRBANKS ON BLACKLIST (Continued from First Page.) islation, like the repeal of the Army can teen, was forced through by the W. C. T. U. Members who believed the can teen, either at Army posts or soldiers' homes, an absolutely harmless Institu tion, walked up and voted to abolish both canteens, because they feared the opposition of the temperance crowd. The Grand Army was not interested in the abolition of the canteen at Army posts and few of the enlisted men of the Army have an opportunity to vote, but the G. A. R. is vitally Interested In the canteen at soldiers' homes, and, according to the commander-in-chief of the G. A.

Tom Piatt, old and feeble. though not altogether in his dotage, has fooled himself into believing he has been restored to his old position. Ex-Governor Odell, a pupil of Piatt's, who was leader after overthrowing Piatt, has an idea that his word will be supreme this year. Governor Higglns, who was nominated two years ago in spite of the old leaders, has a faint suspicion that he might be come the leader. But the truth is that President Roosevelt is tne, actual head of the Republican organization In his own state, and whatever he says Is very apt to go. He will not be the figurative par ty leader, of course, but whoever Is lead er this year will work in harmony with Roosevelt. Dates for Fall Races. NEW YORK, Aug. 8. Matt Winn, La. A. Sella and G.

MUTINY IjASTS BUT ONE NIGHT Sailors Revolt to Aid Sveaborg, tut Are Subdued. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2. A cor respondent of the Associated Press, nhn nttcmntpH to reach Cronstadt this morning from Oranienbaum. on the , Gulf of Finland, opposite Cronstadt, found the place almost In a state of panic. All communication with the Island of Cronstadt was interdicted. People arriving from there were searched and arrested. From information obtained from refu gees, officers and others, a fairly clear idea of events at Cronstadt is had. The sailors of the twentieth and other equipages together with the sappers and miners, pioneers and other units, man aged to rise in spite of the surveillance of the guard and other regiments which were stationed at the barracks, plainly indicating treachery. This suspicion Is heightened by the fact that the Com mander disarmed the Syeosk Regiment during the evening. A plot had been carefully planned by which the mutineers obtained possession of the train steamer. Then without lights they ran a train to the bridge separating the Island from Fort Constantine, which, with the evident connivance of the sentinels, they had no difficulty in entering. Guns Turned on Iioyal Camp. The main body of the fortress artillery in the fort Joined the mutineers, and those who did not ao so were oounu mm gagged. The mutineers theij turned some of the guns of the fortress against the camp of the loyal troops in the city and opened fire on the latter, with the pre conceived intention OI covering uio . i . I mar whil-h AAilfVi HJOUnd OI Ilia ll am "-t" -' - " in a protected position under the guns of the fort. Until the guns opened fire the whole affair waa conducted so quietly that the commander of the iortress naa no sus picion of what had happened. Upon the .i . a aanAral fl.la.rm was sounded. and the entire garrison was called out. While a portion of the loyal troops took up positions in the streets, which were i eiioi with tprrnr-strlcken inhabi tants, a storming party consisting of three regiments of grenaaiers, tne xen csel, Sllonovsky and Vlnlandsky, was formed and led the assault. After four volleys had been fired, the mutineers hoisted the wane nag, ana mose wnu refused to surrender were hastily dls- . l. .-J Xa-anwhllA - WAftlnC Rtea.m- er sailed off in the direction of the Fin nish coast. No Mercy to Mutineers. Later machine guns were posted in the main streets. No mercy was shown to those suspected of being agitators, and a number of Innocent persons are reported to have been killed. This morning when the Grand Duke Nicholas Nlcholalevlch, Commander-in-Chief of alt the troops in the St Petersburg district, was Informed of what had transpired, he was furious, and according to information obtained at Aranienbaum, he immediately ordered the mutineers to be tried by court-martial and shot, and It is added that exe cutions are already in progress. Summons Came From Sveaborg. It Is stated that the garrisons of Forts Constantine and Alexander at Cronstadt received previous to the mu tiny, the following telegram in cipher from Sveaborg: "Prepare yourselves to receive a free fleet. We hope to find you friends and not enemies. A reply was sent In the desired sense and chiefs were chosen from among the sailors, after the latter had ex celled their officers. Before seizing the Fort Constantine boat train, the rioters broke Into the houses of t'ne officers, killing some of them and arresting the others. The sap pers and miners and the pioneers han died the officers roughly, tearing oft their epaulettes and maltreating them. Artillerymen Refuse to Join. The majority of the artillerymen of Fort Constantine refused to Join the mutineers, thus preventing the latter from getting control of the fort with the exception of one gun. When the storming party under com mand of Coloned Sheloff arrived, the mutineers were compelled to rely on their rifles, with which they replied to the volleys of the loyal troops until two field guns and three machine guns had been placed In position and opened SEMI-ANNUAL ce fire, when the mutineers threw up their hands. The number of mutineers is given at 290J, of whom 2200 were sailors. HARTJE CASE COMPLETED Pittsburg's Divorce Scandal Will Be Argued Next Week. PITTSBURG, Aug. 2.
