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. Aug. 6. The strike In
the railway and private workshops con
tinues. An attempt by the strikers to
interfere with railroad traffic led to a
6erious riot The strikers refusing to dis
perse, they were tired upon by Cossacks,
who subsequently charged, killing and
wounding many.
At Batourn all the strikers have resumed
work and the town is tranquil.

LONDON. Aug. 6. A news agency dis
patch from Vienna says the Macedonian
central revolutionary committee has fixed
August 31 as the date for a general up
rising, and that Boris Sarafoff, one of the
leading Macedonian agitators, has been
appointed commander of the revolutionary
forces, with Alexleff as his principal lieu
tenant. The Lontan papers print mall letters
descriptive of the Macedonian situation
and dated the latter part of July, which
indicate that the committee was vigorous
ly preparing for an uprising .at the close
of the harvest The members of the
committee, according to these advices,
have been vainly hoping for an outbreak
of war between Turkey and Bulgaria or
some other sensational occurrence, such
as a massacre of Christians, then give
them an opening, but nothing has hap
pened, and altogether the situation Is crit
ical, It is Just possible that the committee
may still further put off the date of the
outbreak.
Meanwhile, the Turks are more ready
than ever to strangle any rising at Its
birth. The imperial troops, poorly paid
and poorly fed, exasperated by the pro
longation of the crisis and the necessity
of Incessant duty night and day, are prey
ing upon the peasantry and would Indulge
in barbarities upon the slightest pretext.

IRISH LAND BILL UNDER FIRE
Government Is Defeated on Tvro
Amendments More Trouble.
LONDON. Aug. 6. The committe state
of" the Irish land bill was reached In the
House of Lords this afternoon. There was
an unusually largo attendance of Irish
peers. The divisions of the amendments
Indicated a determined fight, and on the
division of the first amendment the gov
ernment narrowly escaped defeat by one
vote. In the following division the gov
ernment was defeatd by three votes.
Neither amendment was vital to the bill,
but as notice has been given of 34 pages
of amendments, this early opposition to
the government aroused in Nationalist
circles, apprehension of trouble before the
committee stage of the bill Is concluded.
Another amendment, moved by Lord
Abercorn (Conservative),, was carried
against the government by a majority of
three. After that the progress was easier
to clause 42. upon reaching which the

LONDON, Aug. 7. A letter from Yedda,
dated July 11. reports that the notorious
Kurdish Chief. Mussa Bey, who was re
sponsible for many of the Armenian out
rages, has escaped from Medina with sev
eral other Kurdish Chiefs, where they
have been living In exile, and all attempts
to Intercept them have failed. The Sultan
was so Incensed that he ordered the Im
mediate dismissal of the Governor of Me
dina, this being the third time Mussa has
escaped. It Is feared he will reach Kurde
stan and lead a new insurrection against
the atrocities In Armenia.
(Mussa Bey figured prominently during
the Armenian troubles In 1SS4-5. He
wounded Rev. Mr Knapp, an American
missionary. In 1S23. but. despite the evi
dence against him. was acquitted. The
United States Minister and the American

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

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

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.

Buoyant.

sacrifices, as would inevitably have oc
curred, had their holding been thrown
upon the market.
