of the strike, martini tew 1ms boon pro
claimed here. Altogether, 100 arrests have
been made. In some of the trades it is

A Revolutionary Outbreak.
VIEKXA. Feb. JC The riots at Trieste
are thf graves that have happened i!i
Austria in many yearaThe original strike
is supposed to he an outcome of socialist
or nn renin t agitation. During Friday's
riots, 12 esons were killed and K wound
ed, while Saturday four jwrson met
death. including the Police Commissioner
who - killed by a levolver shot. Some
of the reports of the occurrences say that
over ! persons were Mounded. There is
little doubt that the troops were over
hasty. Dr. von Koerber. the Imperial Premier,
explained to the Reichsrath Saturday that
the otlicer commanding the troops was
struek by a" stone and fell unconscious
and that the officer next in rank ordered
his men to Are and that the latter were
so excited they llred recklessly, with the
result that a girl, fitting In a second story
window, and a postal clerk, sitting in hK
office, were both shot dead. The Reichs
rath unanimously voted a practical cen
sure on the government for putting the
troops there to lire on the mob. The Mu
nicipal Council of Trieste has adopted a
similar resolution and has decided to pro
vide for the families of the victims of the
encounters at public cost. It is not un
likely that the Municipal Council of
Trieste will be dissolved for defiance of
the government. All of the accounts de
scribe the riots as "a revolutionary out
break." A Cabinet council, hurriedly called Sat
urday night, obtained the sanction of Em
peror Francis Joseph to smipcnd civil law
at Trieste and at many villages in the
vicinity, while two battalions of troops
ivere drafted into Trieste. "What, how
ever, had a greater effect in quieting the
city, was the announcement Saturday of
the arbitration tribunal in favor .of the
strike. Xot until an official, standing on
the balcony of the Town Hall, had read
the decision and groups of strikers had
paraded the streets with white Hags to
spread tln decision, was quiet restored.
It is said that Friday, after the troops
had fired on the rioters, the mob, com
posed mostly of Italians, became Infu
riated and dragged the bleeding corpses
of their comrades before the soldiers
whom they assailed, wjth terrible Impre
cations, as murderers and assassins.
The proclamation of martial law pro

AT MINISTER'S DISCRETION
Effort Ilelnjc Made to Have Russian
Tariff Reduced.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 16. While the
Russian retaliatory tariff upon certain
American goods is still in force, an effort
is being made to have the Russian Min
ister of Finance exercise his discretion
under a section of the new regulations
as to port dues in the empire, which con
fers on that official the right to decrease
charges on goods of llttle'value. or to re
move them entirely, by which American
machinery in parts might enter Russia at
the reduced or free rate. This informa
tion comes to the State Department in a
report from Commercial Agent Greener,
at Vladivostok, dated January 20. which
was made public today, together with one
from Consul-General Holloway. at St. Pe
tersburg, upon the same subject, dated
January" IS. The Consul-General says that
new regulations formins lort dues In Rus
sia went into effect the first of the year,
and will greatly facilitate the present sys
tem of levying such due&, as henceforth
there will be but t.wo kinds of port dues
namely, that paid by all ships entering
Russian harbors, and the "pood due" lev
ied only in the Russian harbors named In
the Russian act on the subject. The ship
dues amount to 3 cents per ton for each
ship of a nation with which Russia has
concluded commercial and navigation
treaties, and 51 03 per ton for other ships.
Consul-General Holloway calls" attention
to the fact that the Russian Minister of
Finance is empowered to raise this rate
lor ships of certain states, and doubtless.
he says, such an enhancement will be,
forced against nations which have tariff
dlfliculties with Russia.
STRENGTH OF THE BOURSE
Favorable Effect of the Xows of the
AiiKrlo-JpmiCNc Treaty.
BERLIN. Feb. 16. The llnanciai report
of the Bourse for the week is character
ized by great strength in mo?t of the de
nartments. Th announcement of lh
Anglo-Japanese treaty had a favorable ef
fect, particularly on Chinese loans, which
were heavily bought on rising prices
German and Prussian 3 per cents weak

era of these securities- found It more prof
itable to sell them and invest in foreign
rentes. Later, however, the 3 per cent
rentes advanced under heavy transac

American market's support, and the con
tinued Improvement In the German situ
ation, some iron share rfc'lng S to 10
points. All the German rolling mills
agreed Friday .-gain to advance the price
of bars 5 marks per ton. Herr Krupp
and others have received an order for
10,000 tons of steel rails for Mexico. Amer
ican railroad shares were neglected, with
the exception of Canadians, which were
considerably bought, while domestic rail
roads scored good advances-.
The money market. In spite of the pay

Impossible to place money at even l'

I.OXDOX STOCIv EXCHANGE.
South. African Mines the Center of
Intercut.
LONDON. Feb. 16. Rands were still the
center of interest, as well as the center
of activity, during the lam week for
those who were Inclined to take a j-si-ml.-tlc
view of the outlook on the stock
exchange. The settlement was an ardu
ous task, especially In the mining sec
tion, whe'ro the accounts of several over
rash speculators were suspended. Thl
checked, but it did not stop, the gam
bling now going on in South Africas.
The magnitude of recent dealings is In
dicated by the fact that of eight leading
mining rtock- alone, .3,000,000 shares
passed through the clearing-house.
One effect of the difficult settlement was
to prevent the development of much new
busliu-Hs; still the general tone was good
and the outlook Is cheerful, at least for
the professionals. The rates of discount
have been steady, and the accumulation of
big balances by the Government Is mak
ing money scarce on the open market.
However, the low discount rate at Berlin
and Vienna promise to send considerable
Continental money here, so London can
look with equanimity at the prospect of
gold being shipped to Now York.
The Anglo-Japanese treaty has been
warmly received In financial circles, and
foreign securities generally were higher
In consequence. Americans- Improved
somewhat, principally the transcontinental
railroad lines. Considerable Interest is
manifested in the New York City Traction
situation, and many persons are waiting
to see that situation elucidated before
making investments.
Tho long-promised Imperial Tobacco
Company has been floated. The financial
critics generally approve the make-up of
Its prospectus, which seems to Indicate
the confidence of the promoters of the
company in their ability successfully to
fight the American tobacco corporation.
It is said that, on the basis of the rev
enue of the constituent companies for
some years pas-t, the present combine
could lone 700,000 profit annually before
touching tho dividends of the preference
stock.
Home rails are enjoying a mild boon

tain Toole and two of the crew started
; in a small boat for Manga Reva, 300 miles
, away, for assistance. There was no help
( at Manga Reva and Cnptaln Toole de-
termined to start for Papeete, 13 miles
away, but the French Commandant re
fused to let him go to sea in the small
boat. January 10 a trading schooner put
in at Manga Reva and offered to take
the crew of the Savernoke to Papeete
for 1200 French dollars. While they were
negotiating over terms, the gunboat
Zelee came Into the harbor with the
crew of the Savernoke.

land for Papeete. They were picked up
by the schooner Maurice 200 miles from
Papeete and taken to their destination,

LETTERS LEAD TO MURDER
MONTANA MIXING MAN SHOOTS HIS
WIFE AND KILLS HIMSELF.
The Discovery of Her Correspond
ence Is Followed by the Fatal
Quarrel Other Crime News.
HELENA. Mont., Feb. 16. Harold M.
Cole, assistant superintendent at the East
Helena Smelter, lies dead in an under
taker's establishment, and Olivia Mayne
Cole, his wife. Is at her home, mortally
wounded, as the result of shots fired by
the husband. The tragedy occurred this
evening shortly after S o'clock at the resi
dence of the couple. There were no wit
nesses to the tragedy, and the wife Is so
seriously injured that she Is not able to
make any statement. The only etory of
the affair Is given by the mother of Mrs.
Cole.
Mr. Cole came In from East Helena
about 7 o'clock. Shortly after his ar
rival Mrs. Mayne went out ami returned
In a little while. As she went up the
steps she heard a shot, quickly followed by
another. She was accompanied by her
husband, and on entering they saw Cole
falllnc to the floor, while his wife was
lying on the lounge with the blood stream
ing from two wounds, one in the head
back of the ear and the other In the left
breast. Lying at the feet of the woman
were a number of letters. An exam
ination showed that Cole was mortally
wounded. and he died before a physician
could be summoned. He had ehot him
clf through the head.
Mr?. Cole is a young and handsome
woman, and has been the recipient of
much nttention. Her husband's duties

Paine s Celery Compound.
, MM,
w&nk& eJel
On December 14, last, the proprie
tors of Paine's Celery Compound found
the following letter among their mail :
They had no correspondence on the
subject; they did not know Mr. Mus
ham, except b' reputation. Like every
testimonial of this great medicine that
was ever printed, it came to them tin
solicited and unsought. The proprie
tors of Paine's Celery Compound have
never found it necessary to manufac
ture or edit any testimonial. They have
never found k necessary by any trick
of advertising to promote mythical
men in far off places to positions
in legislatures or offices that never
heard of them. It is the one of all
remedies the popularity of which has
increased on account of what it docs,
instead of what it says.
It appears that Fire Chief Musham,
the head of the Chicago Fire Depart
ment, which is the model of the world,
has been for forty years in the service ;
as brave as a lion, industrious, cool
headed, with a record for righting fires,
and quite as distinguished for nerve
and generalship as other heroes
upon whom nation? have bestowed
public honors for service in no less
hazardous undertakings. Chief Mus
ham, in the spring of 1901, obtained
land, where negroes work for white far
mers, the following notice, signed "Fire
bugs," was found today, posted conspic
uously: "Notice ls hereby given that any man
who employs negro labor after the first
day of March, or harbors, leases or rents
to any negro lands, their houses will be
burned after the first day of April."

More than 20 Indians and negroes who
mixed In the fight were more or less In

disturbance, but had to call citizens to
his aid.

DETROIT, Feb. 16. Frank C. Andrews,

the medical profession. "Whatever the morbid change may be. however, the
