Jlelaingfors, Finland, July 3I.
The most s-rious outbreak, in the
.Russian empire since the dissolu
tion of the douma occurred-todny
I when tte garrison at Sveaborg,. the
fortress which guards the - entrance
to the rberbor of this city, mutinied
and seiztd the foit. , The soldiers
ashore and the sailors in the fltet
are affected. r O'der troops were
called out to quell the mutineers
and a fight ensued between the two
factions in which the loyalists were
defeated with a loss of 5OO ! m n.
Fighting continues; one of the war
ships bombarding' the fortress. !- '
The mutineers - were joined by
the artillery and the sailorson most
of the ships m the fleet in the bar
bor. The infantry remained loy
al, but the sailors refused to fire on
the soldiers, who now control the
ships.
When the f arrieon mutinied this
morning the artillery men ashore
were prevailed upon to join the mu
tineers. The older troops were called
out to quell the- mutiny, but volleys
from the artillery: killed or wound
ed .sUUi -'Utfter8 and famines -are
fleeing from tbe fortrees to this city
and the soldiers are deserting to
the revolutionists.
Daring , the battle between : the
mutineers and the loyalists the of
ficers of the fleet attempted to bom
bard the- fortress. r This-attempt
was futile on most of the warships,
for the sailors, promptly mutinied,
placing the fi et at the disposals of
the insurrectionists.

cal military met the train and the
prisoner was marched to the court
house.'. Several attempts were made
to get the negro and twice ' be was
in the possession of the mob, but
the soldiers finally succeeded, in
forcing their way with their prison
er, into the courthouse, where the
negro's trial was at once begun-. .

another negro in jail from' Hick
man county, charged with a simi
lar offense, was to be lynched, but
it is understood that he was spirit
ed away. ' - , K
On Thursday last Matthias bru
tally outraged a telephone girl While
the latter wa9 on' her ' wayr htfaie.
The inhuman brute made .'good a
temporary escape, but was captured
near raducab, tak n to that place
and later taken to Louis vi le. '
Matthias, when arramged, was
asked if he had anything to say.
He replied:; :
M want some one to pray for
mB." . ;
W. S. Fox, a local attorney, was
appointed to defend the negro. To
tbe question, "Guilty or not guil
ty?" Matthias replied "Guilty."
The jury was ordered to its room
and, after being out 20 minutes, re
turned a verdict of guilty and fixed
the punishment at death. Matthi
as was removed to the jail and in a
few minutes placed on the scaffold
and executed.
It was the most dramatic legal
execution that ever, occurred in
Kentucky, and while supposed to
be private, was witnessed by nearly
10,000.

Guilty, 2 to 1.
Death penalty, 10 to 1.
Life imprisonment, 5 to 1.

risk en the problem of a man's life
and death. Tbe long odds are not
inviting and many if tbe wagers
were on short quotations, indicat
ing that a mViority are of the opin
ion that be will be acquitted or that
the jury will disagree. .

Oiher News.
Seattle, July 21. Smiling ; at

brothers, Fred and . Perry Mitchell,

ther Mitchell stood before Superior
Judge Griffin this morning and en
tered a plea of not guilty to the in-
tormation which charges , ber with

ing her brother, : George Mitchell.
A few minutes before she was ord
ered by Prosecuting Attorney Mac
intosh to enter berplea, her counsel
A. J. Clark, of Portland, told her
that her brothers would aid her to
the best .of their ability.
ine tired and haggard look on
the girl's face was at once replaced
by a look of pleasure and still smil
ing she entered her, plea, uttering
the words ''not guilty" in a sharp,
clear voice.
Long beiore 9:30 o'clock, the time
set for her arraignment, the court
room of department No. 5 was
crowed, with . morbid-minded . men
and women. ' A laree number of
women were present to see the girl
who had killed her brother who bad
taken another's life to protect her
virtue. The majority of women
spectators were young and t few
well-known young women gaily
dressed were present to gratify their
morbid desires by gaz'ng at tbe un
fortunate murderess.
Wnen Eether Mitchell entered
the - courtroom a whisper spread
through the room. Women craned
forward in their seats to catch a
g'impse of her form, and men and
women cot so fortunate as to have
obtained a seat pushed and strug
gled to gain a better view of her.
If the girl was aware of the curious
eyes focused upen her she did not
ebow it. With a quick step and
ber eves fixed vacantly she took
her seat. Not once ia the hour she
S8t there did she change her posi
tion or show any attention to tbe
crowd that was staring at her.
As eodo as Esther Mitchell had
entered her plea her lawyer, A. E
Clark, demanded a separate trial
for her. The court ordered it grant
ed and it rests with Prosecuting At
torney Macintosh to determine
whether Mrs. Crefficld or Esther
Mitchell shall first face the jury.
A. E. Clarke,' who represented
the girl in court, declares that he
was retained .to defend ber by Port-i
land friends of the girl. He refused,
however to divulge the name of the .
persons, saying that he would do it
at a later day. Lawyer Clarke de
clares that Perry and Fred Mitchell j
Will come to Seattle to attend thai
trial of their sister and will do all,
they can to save herefrom suffering,
the penalty of the law.
Mr. ' Clarke said: "Perry nd-'
Fred Mitchell tell me ther have
nothing but kindly feelings for their 3
untortunate eister."
