Newspaper Page TextTHE MOKNiyO OREGpyiAS, FRIDAY. AUGUST 7, 1903. LftSHWITHW HIPS Russian Troops Brutal to Strikers. HERDED WITH BAYONETS Men Fall From Blows to Be Trampled by Horses. ATTACK MADE TO EHD MEETING Labor Troubles in Southern Part of Europe Xovr Affect 250,000 Men Epidemic ot Incendiarism. Is Fait Spreading. LONDON.' Aug. 7. The Bally Mall s Nlkaeloff' correspondent, under date of August 2, .fully confirms the Times' cor respondent's accounts of strikes in South Russia. The correspondent ays that 250,000 men are affected, and that simul taneously strikes occurred over a vast In dustrial area. He says the amount of studied organization and well-concealed preparation was unprecedented in the troubled arinals of Russian labor. Prices of the necessaries of life are rising by leaps and bounds. The strikers, on the whole, have pre served exemplary order, but this has not saved them from savage attacks, directed by General Arzenieff, Governor of Odessa. Groups of men who assembled last Satur day with the intention of holding a meet ing were driven into a solid mass by 500 Cossacks, backed by two lines of Infan try with fixed bayonets. About 2009 strik ers toeing thus inclosed by a double cordon, the Cossacks rode through them, striking right and left with heavy whips, the fallen men being trampled under the horses feet. Typical Piece of Savagery. "When the living mass had been thor oughly kneaded to the Governor's will," continues the correspondent, "numerous men were arrested as suspected agitators. The infantry then marched off, the strik ers scattered in a dozen directions, with Cossacks at their heels. It Is rumored that -400 strikers were more or less seri ously injured, and that six to a dozen succumbed. The whole affair is a typical piece of administrative savagery. The extraordinary feature of the move ment at Odessa is that the police and gendarmes belonging to one depot threat ened to throw off their uniforms and risk all the terrors of Insubordination, unless the miserable pittance of 11 to 14 pence, which they are allowed dally, was In creased and the hours of labor reduced. Siberia Is losing Its terrors even for Rus sian policemen. Incendlnriiim Is Spreading. The epidemic ot incendiarism Is spread ing through Russia. Scarcely a day. passes without news of conflagrations. At Baku alone, the destruction has been colossal. Tens of millions of gallons of naphtha have been burned. In 24 of the largest towns, the damage due to Are the past month Is estimated at 135.000.000. The ob ject of the bulk of the fires Is to get in surance money. Many of the Incendiaries are Jews, and the insurance companies in some cases have raised premiums 50 per cent. Public opinion in Odessa Is entire ly on the side of the striking sailors and stokers. A wealthy company, which has been employing men for years, has paid sailors at the rate of only 25 shillings a month. Odessa Strike In Ended. The Standard's Odessa correspondent, under date of August 2. says that all the trades have now resumed work, and the strike Is practically endsd. but the city will remain under martial law for at least another ten days. The strikers did not get all they demanded, but in most cases were met with fnlr-splrlted compro mises on the part of the employers. According to the correspondent, the local Odessa papers on the day the dis patch was sent announced that the Gov ernor had Issued a statement to the effect that he had summarily convicted 71 per sons and had sentenced them to three months' imprisonment for disturbing the public order. The names given Include many Jews and few foreigners. The strike ended just in time to avert serious food riots, as the high price of provisions led to ominous popular threats to storm the bakeries and flour mills. " There have been a few fatalities, but no serious disorders. It is stated that while the strikers were trying to prevent a train starting Saturday night, four of the strike leaders were run over and killed. Kleff Railroad Strike Continues. KIEFF, Russia.

WOULD GIVE ITALY NO QUARTER Plus Expresses Desire to Bless the People From the Balcony on His Coronation Sunday Prepara tions for the Function. ROME. Aug. 6. The attention of Rome is now centered upon the solemn corona tion ceremony, which Is to occur on Sun day, and for which great preparations are being made. The throne of St. Peter, which Plus X will occupy, will be sur mounted by a canopy 40 feet high. The function will consume five hours. The pope has Informed the Vatican officials that he wishes to be received on the threshold of the Basilica by Cardinal Ram poll a. who, as arch priest of the church, will address the formal greeting to him. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the pope will confer his blessing upon the I people, but It has not yet been decided whether he will do so Inside the church or from the balcony looking out upon the . piazza, where many hoped he would be ' stow his benediction on the day of his I election. I Pope Is Favorable to Plan. J It Is said that Plus Is favorable to the I latter plan, but the Influence of the Vat j lean officials Is against It, on the ground . that It might bo interpreted as a recog I nitioh of the present state of affairs in Italy.

ROME, Aus. 6. (Special Cable.) Pope Plup ottered the secretaryship of state to Cardinal SatolII, who declined and recommended Cardinal C&vagrts, who accepted the office. This Is the most Important appointment to ba made by the pope. is expected that 60,000 tickets will be is sued for the event, the demand for them is already very great. In the consistories to be held Monday and Thursday next, the pope will confer the red hat upon Cardinals AJutl. Tallanl, Katchthaler and Herrero y Esplnoza. who were raised from the purple June 25, but whohave notVecelved these symbols of rank because of the Illness and death of Leo. It is believed that- the Spanish Cardinal Herrero will not be able to be present at the coronation ceremonies. Ceremony of Coronation. m The ceremonies will be performed at St. Peter's, according to a rite dating from the latter part of the 14th century. As the pope enters the church a clerk of the papal chapel holds up before him a reed surmounted by a handful of flax. This Is lighted; It flashes up for a mo ment and then goes out at once, as the chaplain chants: "Pater sanctc, sic tran sit gloria mundi" (Holy father, thus pasa eth away the world's glory). This Is done three times. The mass Is then begun as usual, but before the In cense of the altar, the blessing of the pontiff-elect is announced by three cardinal-bishops, each of whom recites a prayer over him. After the collect come the so-called laudes, that is. the three fold supplication to God for the welfare of the new pope. The coronation Itself takes place after the mass in the balcony over the portico of St, Peter's, overlooking the great piazza. The second cardinal-deacon takes off the mitre, wfilch, until now, the pope has worn, and then the senior cardinal-deacon (Macchl) places the tiara on his head, and all the people cry out "Kyrie elelson" (God pity us). The pope reckons his pontificate from his coronation day, although, of course, he Is pope from the day of his election, CHURCn BELLS RING FOR POPE. Peals From Five Hundred Towers Fill the Air for an Hour. ROME, Aug. 6. During one full hour this morning there seemed to be nothing but vibrating sounds, so penetrating were the strokes of the bells of about 560 churches, which, all ringing together; ab sorbed all other noises. The ringing was in honor of the election ot Plus X a welcome unique of Its kind and ordered by Cardinal Resphigl. vicar of Rome, who Issued special Instructions therefor. All the churches contemporaneously cele brated masses for the event, the Intoning of the "Oremus" combining with the har mony. The bells Involuntarily served another purpose, that of ringing in the gret cere mony of the reception of the diplomatic body accredited by the Holy See. Rome has lately been surfeited with Vatlcan. functlons, but that of this morning was so striking that it held Its own with the others. The members of the Sacred College gathered before the hour set for the cere mony and held a kind ot informal recep tion, the conclave, short as it was, hav ing brought them cordially together. A procession was then formed. First came the Swiss Guards, which gives a peculiar medieval splendor to all papal gatherings; then the Palatine Guard, followed In ir regular ranks by the whole pontifical court, in Its multiform and multi-colored costumes. Cardinals In all the gorgeous ness of their scarlet robes, and the bish ops, scarcely less striking in their pur ple. The Pope, la spotless white, his gray hair in harmony with his whole at tire, and surrounded by the Noble Guard, who always remain near his person, went on foot just as the others. The procession having gained the hall of the throne, where the members of the diplomatic body was gathered, Senor D'Antas, the Portuguese Ambassador, the dean of the corps, read in a clear voice the collective greeting of his colleagues, presenting their homage to the new Pope and assuring him of their fidelity. Pius X answered with great cordiality, thank ing them heartily for their good wishes. All then kissed his hand, and the pontiff took this opportunity of speaking person ally to each, showing a knowledge of the politics of the diverse countries which surprised the diplomats, the new pontiff being credited with taking small interest In affairs outside Italy. It was another surprise to them to hear him speak French, If not fluently at least with a certain readiness. Altogether the whole audience gave promise of a new era of International cordiality at the Vatican. Plus X has appointed his conclavist. Mgr. Bressan, as his private chaplain, whloh means that he will also be the pontiff's chief private secretary- HOME TOWN TO DO HIM HONOR. Municipality of Ricse Approves Fes tivities for the Pope.
