The captains commanding are in sym pathy with tho revolutionary move ment and will declare at the appointed time for reforms. "The army officers drawn from the noble class are on sympathetic terms with tho men from the peasant and ar tisan clisaes. The common people and tbe nobles in Russia are not separated by the gulf tfeat stood between thsee cissies under' tbe ancient regime ia France. Tbe nobles throughout Rus sia, and the gentry, too, are tbe peas ants' closest friends, on the moat cor dial and friendly footing. The noblee are tbe backbone of the revolution in Rusila. The bureaucracy is drawn fiom neither data, and is hated by both classes. "It is the system which causes riots like that at Bialystok. The rea son why the bureaucracy stirs up tills resentment against tho Jews is that they are seen to be an element strong for revolution radicals." TEST CASE ON INSURANCE.

Another outbreak at Bialystok Wednesday after noon was only quelled whon troops charged the mob and dispersed it. Dur ing the trouble one Jewish woman was killed and another wounded, while sev eral persons were struck with stones and more or less hurt. A further dem onstration ia feared, and the govern ment has been asked to send additional Cossacks there to cope with the situa tion. The nntl-Jewish rioting at Bialyrtok is now ended." Tho troops aro in full control, and, in view oi the outcry raised, It ia certain that tho authorities will not permit a renewal of the hor rors recently witnessed at Bialystok.

Bchifl has received cable messages from abroad asking aid from this country to prevent a geaeral Jewish outbreak In Russia. Dr. Paul Nathan cabled on June 17 from Berlin that Bialystok is but the beginning of systematic massa cres similar to those of October, and urging Mr. Schlff to exorcise pressure through tbe United States government and financial circles. Another cablegram reads: "The occurrence at Bialystok is evi dently the beginning of a terrible scheme Energetic intervention alono can prevont its being carried out." On June 18 the Alliance Univorselle cabled Mr. Schlff from Paris as follows: "We havo received tho following from Finland signed by a member of tho douma, St. Petersburg: "The aw ful occurrences at Bialystok signify a new rcherne leading to most difficult complications. Intervention on your part alone would prevent disaster." On Juno 18 Sir Samuel Montague cabled Mr. Schlff from London: "Wo aro seeking intervention of our govern ment, Try yours." STATE WILL SUPPORT CLAIMS. Attorney General to Defend Rights of Losers by Disaster. San Francisco, June 21. Deputy At torney General George A. Sturtevant came to San Francisco today to com mence tho state's light against tho fire Insurance concerns that have not lived up to the law. For some hours lie was in consultation with Insurance Com missioner Myron Wolf. - "From now on it will be made the especial business of the attorney gen eral's office," said Mr. Sturtevant. "to prosecute every action by which the state can conserve the rights of tho In sured who lost property In tho great fire. We want the smaller losers, the mechanics and retailers who have be come confused in their efforts to receive Just treatment from the insurance com panies, to feel that they have an office which is fighting their side of the case." - Will Not Be Pinned Down. San Francisco, June 21. Of the 120 insurance companies to which tele grams were sent by Mayor Schmitz and Governor Pardee calling upon them for a tine outline of their policies relative to the payment of insurance losses in this city, 40 have given answer. The majority of the companies operating here content themselves with the gen eral statement that they will deal fairly with policy holders; that tbe claims 4galnst them will be settled equitably and that the insured can be confident of honorable and just treatment.

DISHONEST MORTAR THE CAUSE dapancba Tells How to Make Earthquake-Proof Buildings. San Francisco, June 20. "Dishonest mortar a corrupt conglomeration of sea sand and lime was responsible for nearly nil of the oarthquako damage In San Francisco," said Dr. T. Nakamura, professor of atchltecturo of the Imper ial university of Tokio and a member of the committee dispatched to this city by the Japanese government to in vestigate tbe effects of the trombloro and fire. Dr. Nakamura will sail oh the Korea today, to report to his gov ernment. "I find," said Dr. Nakamura yester day, "that much of the damaso to San Francisco from the earthquake was due to poor mortar and faulty construction, and the greater portion of the damage to the class 'A' bnildings by fire was the result of misguided use of hollow tiling and so-called fire blocks Instead of concrete. "There has developed as a result of tho earthquake in San Francisco, great prejudice against brick buildings. How ever, they are largely employed in Japan, whore earthquakes of greater severity than the one experienced in this city aro not uncommon. The se cret of their success, however, lies in tho fact that good mortar is used. Tho mortar should either bo composed of one part cement' to two parts of sand, or of one part cement, threo of lima and five of sand. The bricks should be thoroughly wet before boing laid, and whon tho mortar has sot under theso conditions, a wall becomes practically ono stono." COMPANIES WOLF MAY SUE. Names Those Which Dtsoboy Law and May Forfeit Licenses. Ban Francisco, June 20. Tho follow ing Instiianre companies, by reason of their falling to comply with Insurance Commissioner Wolf's demand that they either sign stipulations extending the time for filing proofs of loss to August 18 or furnish tho commissioner with their lists of policy holders, have ren dered themselves liable to forfeiture of their right to do business in the state of California: Agricultural, American of Boston American of Philadelphia, Dutches, Eagle, German of Peoria, Germanla, Globe and Rutgers, Glrard, New York of New York, Northwestern Fire 4 Ma rine, National Union, North Germai of New York, Spring Garden, Security of BaltlsBoce, Trader, Unlea of Palla delphla, Weetcbeeter, Westers Under writer. Commissioner Wolf Intends to pro coed against these companies without delay unless advised to the contrary by tho attorney general of the state. He mado this statemont yesterday and added : "Furthermore it will be my business to see that these companies are com pelled to meet their just obligations. If any retire without paying, I shall ask that action be taken against them by tho insurance commissioners of tho state under whoso laws thoy are Incor porated." SHAW WILL MAKE BIG DEP08IT. San Francisco Assured of $12,000,- 000 of Government Funds. Washington, June 20, A tacit agree ment was reached today by tho presi dent. Secretary Shaw and the defolia tion of representative citizens of San Francisco by which substantial aid will ho given San Francisco by tho govern ment. It is proposed that the United Slates treasury deposit with tho San Francisco hanks 112,000,000 of govern ment money, with bonds of tho city as security, tho monoy to remain in the banks until the government shall call for It. Under the law the secretary of tho treasury has authority to deposit gov ernment funds in this way, but cannot bind bin successor. It is linked in Cal ifornia to organize a corporation with a capital ol several millions of dollars, to Isbuo bonds to guarantee tho govern ment against loss through the banks. Other plans have been suggested for the raising of money to enable the peo ple of California to rebuild their homes and business houses, hut thus far noth Ing has been proposed that will meet the ideas of congress. Troops In Mutiny. Odessa, June 20. -General Kaulbara has received word from 11 of the beat garrisons in Russia to the effsct that the troops there are mutinous and havo refused to act as police in quelling street dls'urhancea. The identity of these Rarrisona is being concealed, but all the facts have been telegraphed to the minister of war. It can be stated on the authority of a general officer of the staff that the reason why tho gov ernment has not carried out Its plan to moholize 700,000 Cossacks is tho fear of civil war.
