Toklo, July 6. — Additional detail« received hare of rioting in Vladivostok indicate that so far the loyal troop« hava been unable to gain control of the situation. Fighting la going on on all ■idea, both In the city and the out» ■kirta. Especially severe fighting has taken place in the neighborhood of the ontlying harbor defanaee, where the rioters succeeded in capturing a battery of artillery. The gunners mads but a scant show of resistance, it being plain that they ware in sympathy with the rioters. A detachment of Coewcka attempted to recapture the battery, but the rebels fired heavy volleys of grspesbot and shrapnel into the attacking column and forced it to retreat, with heavy loss. At last accounts, the rebels were still in command. W ild moba have burned the govern ment stores in the heart of the city, and have secured possession of snpplies valued at a large sum. One mob stormed the city prison in an attempt to reacue s number of persons who had been arrested, after looting the m ili tary supply station of a quanity of dy namite. Severe fighting, which lasted several hours, followed, but the prison guard was finally successful in driving awav the attacking forces. Information haa been received here that all the Kussian troops on the Manchurian border are in a state of mutiny, and it is all their officers can do to keep them in reasonable subjec tion. Revolutionary propaganda ia making headway among the Kussian soldiers in Siberia, sod it would not be surprising if news of a general revolt there were soon to be received. BAY C IT Y S A LO O N S O PEN . Police Will Strictly Enforce the Law Against Drunkenness. Han Franciaco, July 6.— For the first time since April 18t the saloons were permitted to reopen yesterday. Licenses had been granted to about 600 drinking places and all did a rush ing business. To a large number of persons tbe resumption of business at the saloons appeared to be quite a nov elty, and many were on band when tbe barroom doors swung open. Nearly all tbe resorts were crowded, but up to noon no serious trouble bad been re ported. Extra policemen were detailed for doty in all the blocks containing sa loons. It iv planned to place all men arrested for intoxication at work clean ing away debris from sidewalks. " A l l persons who show the effect« of intoxication are to be quickly gathered in ," said Chief of Police Dioan today. "Patrolm en have been instructed to maintain order. Up to noon today but few arreata have been reported from the sub elation*, and but one or two have been booked for drunkenness at the main station. I do not expect that we shall have much trouble in hand ling the situation." » B A T T L IN G W IT H C H O L E R A . Manila Bureau o f Health is Holding Disease in Check. Manila, Jnlv 6.— Tbe cholera situs tion has improved. The report at 6 o'clock last night showed 19 new caeee since midnight of July 4 and 10 deaths. The report for July 4 shows 28 esses and 19 deaths. Two Americans, Robert Lnmbertz a n d ----- Hart, are dead, but to date only five Americans have been seised with the disorder. Thus far cholera has not appeared in the Amer ican section of the city. The Ameri cans who have been stricken live in the native sections of Manila. The bureau of health has refused to permit the sale of foodstuffs that may have t>een liable to infection. The «(Torts of the doctors engaged in com batting the disease show results in the decrease in the number of new cases re ported. W hile the disease started in stronger than the great epidemic of 1902, the authorities believe they have the situation now under control. For the week ending July 4 there were 116 casee and 99 deaths. For the 24 hours ending at 8 o’ clock on the morning of Jnly 5 there were 12 cases and five deaths in the provinces. Ticket in Kansas. Topeka, Kan,, July 8.— After an ex tended wrangle of speechniaking, in which more or lees bitter feeling was displayed, the Populist state party del egates yesterday voted to place a party ticket in the field. The vote stood 94 to 68. After naming a portion of the Congressional committee, the Populist Htate convention proceeded to the nom ination of a state ticket. Horace Keef er, ot Leavenworth, was named for gov ernor by acclamation. J. A . Wright, of Hmith county, waa named for liea- tenant governor. WRECK IN ENGLAND fast Express Train Jamps Track With Fatal Results. RECOVER TWENTY-SEVEN BODIES Nearly All W are Amarlcans W ho Had Just Arrived on Staamar F ro m New Y o rk . Halisbnry, England, July 3.— Driving at a mad pace over tbe London South western railway, tbe American Line Expreea, carrying 43 of tba steamer New York’ s passengers from Plymouth to London, plunged from tbe track juat after passing tba station bere at 1:57 o'clock thia morning and mangied to death in it« wreckage 23 passenger«, and four of tbe trainmen. Beside those to whom death came speedily, a dozen persona were injured, some of them aerioualy. Tbe late hour of the New York’ s ar rival at Plymouth saved many lives. She carried more than 60 travelers for London, but many of them elected to travel on comfortably to Southampton in preference to the late landing at P ly mouth and tbe long n'ght ride scrota the country. If tbe New York had made a faster passage tbe somber roster of the dead and injured would have been larger. The surviving passengers and train men deacribe the sound of tbe wreck aa like t te discharge of a series of heavy gun* of varied caliber, and when the crashing of the wreck waa past there name calls of tbe injured, some shriek ing with pain and fear and others- moaning aa if bewildered by tbe »bock. Relief came quickly, although it was an hour before tbe laat I ody was dragged from the wreck. The police, attracted by tbe noise, called ambu lance« and surgeons and warned tbe hospitals to prepare to receive tbe in jured. Tbe railway yard quickly filled with police, doctors, nurses, trainmen and volunteers. Tbe darknese and incredible destruc tion made tne work of rescue exceed ingly difficult. Lamps and torches were brought to light the desolate scene. Tbe station was converted into a surgery and tbe platform was made a mortuary. L O O K IN G F O R G O O D M A N . -v C za r Finds Difficulty in Selecting New Prime Minister. 8t. Peteebug, July 3. — No definite statement with reference to tbe retire ment of the Goremykin cabinet was forthcoming today. Emperor Nicholas ’is apparently encountering trouble in finding a man to whom to intrust tbe reins of power and effecting an under standing with the Liberal groups of parliament. Tbe Constitutional Democratic par liament committee met tble afternoon behind closed doors to discuss tactics under tbe situation. Tbe Associated Press was informed after the meeting that the committee adhered to ita for mer decision that nothing lees than a fully responsible cabinet w ill be accept able, and that Constitutional Demo crats w ill refuse to take portfolios in anv mixed cabinet. The leaders scarcely expect that these terms w ill be accepted at preeent. In deed they have slight desire to sbonider the responsibility of government, when (he country apparently is on the verge of a serie« of outbreaks and disorders. Their preeent plan is to adopt toward any n«w ministry the same tactics they have followed in the past, the accept ance of what is good in the policy o' the government and unsparing criti cism where that policy does not square with their ideas. The immediate pass age of a vote of lack of confidence is probable. It is stated that Minister of Interior Htolypin and Minister ot Finance Ko- koveoff w ill submit to the lower house of parliament, probably tomorrow, a request for an appropriation of $50,- 000,000 for famine relief. Sedition Spread Among Mexicans. Mexico City, July 3. — 8ince Gover nor Ysahel, of Sonora, made his report on the Cananea outbreak, showing con clusively that seditious papers were be ing circulated among the Mexican min ers in that mining camp, there has been renewed attention given tbe prop aganda, semi-socialistic in character, carried on among workingmen in the indnatrial centers by political intrigu ers seeking to take advantage of organ isation in various parts of the conntry of labor unions. These unions are qmte legal in their construction. Contest on Sm oot's Seat. * Washington, Jnly 3. — Tbe qneetion of the right of Reed Smoot to retain hia seat in the United States senate ill be preeentod to that body the first day of the session in December. Chair man Burrows, of the committee on privilege# and elections, so announced in the cloeing hours of the session just May T ie U p Black Saa Ports. 8t. Petersburg, Jnly 6.— According to information received here, tbe sm- pi iyea of the Siberia, Honthweatern and Cancaaaian railroads are ready to join in a general strike, and the longshore men of the Black sea porta era prepared closed. to taka pert in tba movements. H IL L W IN S F I G H T . Road Down N orth Bank of Columbia Given Right of Way. Vancouver. July 3.— H ill won over Harriman yesterday when Judge W. W. Mi-Credie, of the Hupei lor court of Waebington, decided that tba Portland A Beattie railway bad the right to con demn across tba property of tbe Colom bia Valiey railroad along tha north bank of the Columbia rivar. Tba de cision ia a sweeping one, and carries with it tbe settlement of an important question in tbe struggle between tbe two roads. Both have fought for tbe narrow atrip along the river’s edge wbaraon a railway can be built. Both have been at work building grades pre paratory to laying rails. Botb claimed certain points of conflict, tbe Colombia Valley by deed from the former owners, and tba Portland A Haattieby virtue of condemnation suits across tbe property of tbe rival corporation. By a decis ion allowing this right, if sustained by tire higher courts of Washington, ap parently no barrier can be raised in the path of H ill that w ill prevent him from following his surveys down tbe Wash ington shore of the river. The decision announces that in case the Colombia Valley dsairea to bnild a railroad down tbe north bank, tbe court w ill extend tbe road full protec tion by allowing it to build a roadbed and track over tbe right of way parallel with tbe Portland A Seattle track aa surveyed, without compelling tbe Har riman roaul to recondemn, providing tbe Columbia Valley determine# to build and does boild within a reasona ble time. I f tbe oppoeing road to tbe H ill line fails to build, then tbe Port land A Beattie is to have the full right of way for ita own purpoeee. C A N A L BO N D SALE.

They w ill be re deemable at tbe pleasure of tbe govern ment at tbe end of 10 years and w ill be payable 30 years from date. In tbe statement made public Secretary Shaw says: " I n considering bids, tbe bidders offering tbe highest prices receive tbe first allotment. I f two or more bid ders offer tbe same price, those asking for tbe small amounts w ill receive pri ority in allotment. Tbe department reserves the right to permit bidders offering tbe highest price to increase tbe amount of their purchases.

Kansas City, Mo., July 4.— The Sun day closing law, enforcement of which has brought Governor Folk more prom inently before the public than any act since he became the state’s chief exec utive, was declared inoperative, so far aa cities of the second class are con cerned, by the Kansas City court of Appeals yesterday. Tbe decision was made in the case of the state against W illiam T. Kessels, a saloonkeeper of 8t. Joseph. Tbe decision applies only to St. Joseph and cities of the second class.
