THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TRIDAY, PEBKUARY 17, 1905. FUR! OF TftRTA Breaks Out Among Rus sian Police. UNARMED MEN BEATEN Strikers Brutally Mutilated at Mohileff. . BONES BROKEN, EYES GOUGED When Police Grow Weary of Maim ing Helpless Jews, Soldiers Take a Hand Girls .Assaulted and Flogged. special. cabe. ST. PETERSBURG, via Eidtkuhnen, I'cb. 17. Another ''slaughter of the in nocents" has been perpetrated by. the Itusslan police. This time the outrage occurred in Mohileff, in the government f Min.sk, and among the victims, most 4V Jews, were sevoral young -women, who were brutally assaulted, while the men were kicked, stabbed and beaten. The massacre took place on "Wednes day, but until Thursday the efforts of the authorities to keep it secret were successful, for the bjood was spilled in the building where the local police makes its headquarters. It appears that a large number of arrests were made in connection with some minor strikes which have recently occurred in Mohileff. "Wednesday orders were given to arrest the leaders and as many of tho strikers as could be gath ered in without attracting too much attention. To this end the Jewish set tlements, where most of the workers live, were invaded and a number of men and women dragged to the police station. There was no evidence that these persons were instrumental in calling the strike. Blows Rained Upon Them. The prisoners were taJcen before the lieutenant of Police who, looking over the list of names and noting that most of these were Jews, turned the strikers over to the policemen. Immediately the officers pounocd upon the unarmed ' strikers and thrashed them until they grovelled on the floor. Then they kicked them down the stairs, where a second party of policemen took up the task whore their comrades had left it and rained blows upon tho 'backs of their victims with the fiat of their swords. By this time most of .the workmen were almost unconscious, "but the tor ture had Jiot yet been completed. They were taifen into the courtyard", where a party of soldiers, which was guard ing the prison annex, fell upon them, gouged their eyes out, -broke their limbs with, blows from their rifle-barrels and then kicked the injured all over the yard. Girls Shamefully Assaulted. Several girls who had up to that moment escaped with minor injuries, were shamefully assaulted by the sol diers and then flogged. Several of these girls, it is stated, cannot llvfc, while others will be cripples for life. Several of tho men. died in the yard. Others were kept there, maimed and bleeding, until the superior officers realized that their removal had become an urgent necessity. They were trans ferred to the prison hospital. According to rollable reports, there wre over ,100 men and women in tho party of prisoners. How many lost their lives is not known. MANY CHANGES ARE RUMORED Sakharoff May Succeed Kuropatkin, Trepoff May Supplant Bouligan. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb, 16. Many ru mors are current of Ministerial and mil itary changes, including a report that War Minister Sakharoff may be sent to relieve General Kuropatkin. and also one to the effect that M. Bouligan. Minister of the Interior, is "not In sympathy with tho situation, and may retire In favor of General Trepoff, Governor-General of St. Petersburg. The successor of M. Mura vieff, former Minister of Justice, ap pointed Ambassador at Rome, has not yet been, appointed. Almost anything is like ly to happen, but nothing definite can be ascertained. M. Annensky, editor of Rus sian "Wealth, who was Arrested simul taneously with Maxim Gorky, the author and reform leader, was released yester day. Upon his appearance before a scien tific society last night he was received with great enthusiasm. ALL MAY AGAIN QUIT WORK St. Petersburg Workmen Weary of Waiting for Concessions. SPECIAL CABLE. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 17. The report is circulated here with great persistence that a renewal of the general strike will be declared in St. Peteresburg In the course of Friday. The only evidence so far which could bo cited in favor of such action on the part of, the strike leaders Is that the unwillingness of the employers to make concessions pending the govern mental arbitration discussion has created great dissatisfaction among the radical element of workers. STEP TO GOOD GOVERNMENT Czar Considers Organization of Cab inet of Responsible Ministers. SPECIAL. CABLE. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 16. The Czar on Thursday presided over a meeting of the Imperial Council of Ministers which discussed at length the plan for the for mation of a Cabinet, the members of which are to be Invested with rights and privileges similar to those possessed by the Ministers of other governments. The discussion of this plan if generaly taken to foreshadow the organization of a rep resentative government. STRIKE IS RENEWED AT LODZ Coercion Has Only Strengthened the Ranks of Workmen. SPECIAL CA."BLE. LODZ, Russian Poland. Feb. 17. The strike in LoVlz has recommenced, ' and, while, It is Jiot yet general. everyMndl catloif4olnls to, "a. resumption of It ou'a largo scale. Coercive measures used against the workmen who were willing to return to work seem to have made them amenable to the demands of tbe strikers. CHARGES AGAINST ANNENSKY He and Gorky Accused of Sedition Rumors of Witte's Resignation. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 17 (2 A. M.) Membership In a secret organization formed in 1903 to incite strikes and pro mote revolution is one of the charges brought against M. Annensky, editor of Russian Wealth, and also probably in volving Maxim Gorky and others. M. Annensky. whose five terms under arrest have made the interior of the. for tress of St. Peter and St. Paul thorough ly familiar to him. told the Associated Press yesterday that he had also been required to plead to the charge of form ulating anti-governmental proclamations, the penalty for which offense Is banish ment for lifo to Siberia, but that no proof was- offered of either charge. M. Annensky said tho prosecutor showed him the draft of an address to the people, alleged to be In the handwriting of Maxim Gorky, and alterations in another hand, alleged to be Anncnsky's. Annensky de clared that he could not Identify the 'doc ument or the handwriting. Only four of the original delegation re main in custody. One of these is tho workman Kuzin, who for a long time es caped arrest because his identity could not -be ascertained by the police. In the scculslon of Tsarskoc-Sclo tho struggle over the question of creating the Zemsky Sobor is being fought out. Intima tions find their way to the public that one of the main factors In tho present sit uation tending to Influence the govern ment to convene the Zemsky Sobor Is tho increasing difficulty of mobilizing reserves to replace troops bound for the front, the belief being that. If tho Zemsky Sobor were aseembled, it would arouse a wavo of patriotism in the country. The report of M. "Witte's resignation from the presidency of tho Council of tho Ministers Is still in circulation, but can not be confirmed. M. "Witt was busy last evening with the director of the tax department as if no change were certain. It is well known, however, that a cam paign is being waged against him by men of influence who fear that his will may becomo dominant in the prcaent crisis. It is also asserted that M.vwitte has incurred enmity on account of "his inter vention In favor of somo of tho Liberals who have been arrested. M. "Wltte Is stcoring a cautious course in order to avoid entanglements. Undoubtedly he will be tho man of the hour, if sweeping re forms must be granted. ALL FACTORIES CLOSE AT LODZ Manufacturers Pay Off Employes and Appeal to Government. LODZ, Feb. 16. The manufacturers, at a meeting this afternoon, resolved to tele graph full details of the situation to the Minister of Finance Twenty-five factor ies, among them some of the largest in Lodz, paid off their men today and closed indefinitely. The mea dismissed number 40.000. Some other mills which previously had closed refused to pay the strikers, who demanded money claimed J.o be due them. At one mill wiilch thus refused yester day the strikers spent the entire night around the office. The city Is quiet this evening. ST. PETERSBURG STRIKERS OUT Many Factories Idle Because Rioters Are Kept in Jail. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 16. The em ployes of the Putiloff Works, appeared at the works today, but instead of resum ing their tasks demanded as a condition of going to work the release of their com rades who are under arrest. Similar ac tion was taken by the men of the Neva Works. Upon other grounds the work men again went out at the Franco-Russian Works, the Russo-Americad Rubber Works, the SL Petersburg Car Works and the Nicholas Railroad shops. Considerable mystery surrounds the re crudescence of the strike movement, it being rumored that Father Gopon is again directing operations through his lieuten ants. ASQ. TEETH'S MOTION EEJECTED House of Commons Refuses to Hasten Election on Fiscal Issue. LONDON'. Feb. 16. H. H. Asqulth's amendment to the reply to the speech from the throne was defeated in the House of Commons tonight by a vote of 311 to 248. This amendment, which de clared "that the various aspects of the fiscal Question have been fully discussed in the country for nearly two years, and that the time has come for submitting the question to tho peopte without further delay," was debated throughout todays session. No particular Interest was aroused un til within an hour of the time for the division, when Sir Henry Campbcll-Ban-nerman spoke at some length, attacking Premier Balfour and charging that he was afraid to face tho country with a definite statement of hist position with regard to Mr. Chamberlain's programme. Mr. Balfour replied, but did not afford the opposition the satisfaction of any lengthy explanation of his opinion of Mr. Chamberlain's policy. He said that dis cussion, if prolonged, might possibly dis pel some fallacies concerning his views, and certainly discussion of the govern ment's right to negotiate is already hav ing an effect on the. attitude of other na tions. Joseph Chamberlain, the former Colo nial Secretary, had a full house when he arose to speak. A dissolution of Parlia ment had no terrors for him, he said. He was quite content to trust his political fortunes to the workingmen. In his opin ion, the sooner a dissolution came the better. Mr. Chamberlain declared" the op position's contentions In regard to a dis solution wore a pretense. He concluded by expressing his belief that a colonial conference would be held, and that the colonies would have a great deal to offer. He did not pretend that Great Britain should make concessions without reciprocal treatment, and he did not believe that tbe British people would reject the offers of their kinsmen nor lose a great opportunity, which. If not seized, might never recur. During the last hours of the debate the galleries were crowded, and as divis ion time approached the Interest in creased, as this was regarded as a su preme test of the government's strength and a standard by which could be meas ured the probable duration t the present Parliament. WITTE DIFFERS WITH LIBERALS Rumors of His Resignation Are Rife in St. Petersburg. ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 16 (7:45 P. M.) M. Witte, according to the latest report, has resigned his position as president of the committee of Ministers on account of differences with Minis ter of Agriculture Termoloff over the conduct of the proceedings of that body. M. Yermoloff is probably the most liberal of Emperor Nicholas Ministers, enjoying now, according to the story, the complete favor of the Emperor. He openly advocates summoning a Zemsky Sobor. The report Is not, confirmable at this hour, but receives credence In some usually well-informed quarters. Chess-Players Are Tied. PARIS, Feb. 16. The tenth game of the international chess match between D. Jariowskl. of this city, and F. J. Marshall, of Brooklyn, was won today by tho local player, after S9 moves. .

Profits If entire holdings ivere sold at $1.21&. J12.S00.00O. CHICAGO. Feb. 16. (Special.) Crowds of curious spectators invaded the visitors' galleries of tho Board of Trade today to see John TV. Gates, of financial fame, in his great feat of skinning the Vears in the wheat market. Mr. G-des was not personally present, having left Chicago Tuesday for a balmier. clime, but tho vis itors on 'change did not lost the expect ed show, Mr. Gates having delegated to an army of trusty brokers the skinning process referred to. "Wheat for delivery next May has been bought by the millionaire speculator to the extent of 20,000.000 bushels, or, accord ing to some accounts, 30,000,00) bushels; and as nothing but the best goes on such contracts on the Board of Trade, and as last year's crop was of very poor quality, those who sold the wheat aro at their wits end whero to get the grain, and were today becoming alarmed at the prospect of having to buy it back from the person to whom they had sold it, and asking him to name his own price for what he wanted. He gave them a chance early In the session to got 3.000,000 bushels or so at about tt.20'ya. He even tempted some oth ers by the liberality of his offerings to sell some more of the stuff they did not have, and the prico got down to $1.134. Later In the day, just ns the crowd in the wheat pit commenced to think Mr. Gates was going to let the price down another cent or two a bushel, his brokers went In and bought a million or two, and up went the price to $1.21. Last August wheat for May delivery was hard to soil at between 0 cents and S3 cents a bushel; the same wheat today brought $1.21. If Mr. Gates had bought only 1,000,000 bushels at the lowest and sold It at the highest price today he would have cleared $410,000. He probably did not buy any at the bottom; but even supposing he did not begin below $1. his Immense winnings on the quantity he owns surpass the wildest dreams of wealth of the ordinary Individual. In the last few minutes of the session the previous highest price of the day for May wheat was exceeded. Those who had sold it short became alarmed at the firmness being displayed by the market, and in trying to buy back their previous ly sold grain ran tho price up to $L21Vt. and the market closed within one-eighth of a cent of those figures, and at a net gain of 1 cents a bushel since yester day. CANAL COMMISSION OR NOT? House and Senate Disagree as to Its Abolition. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1C. A differ ence qf opinion ha3 developed between the Senate and House on tho abolition of the iBthmlan Canal Commission. The House today passed the Mann bill, which abolishes the . commission, unless the President desires to retain It or any of Its members in a consultative capacity. Senator KIttredge reported from the Senate committee on Inter oceanlc canals a new bill which con tinues the commission and differs In other respects from the Mann bill. The Mann bill gives all the right of government of the Canal Zone to the President until the end of the next Congress, but provides that toe gov ernment shall be so exercised as to pro tect the Inhabitants In the free en joyment of their liberty, prosperity and religion. It abolishes the Isthmian Cana Commission and places the work of the construction of the canal In the hands of the President and suon per sons as he may appoint and employ. It does not undertake to determine whether the canal shall be constructed as a sea-level or lock-level waterway. Annual Appropriations to Be Made. It Is also provided that the persons- appointed by the President, both In the government of the Canal Zone and In charge of the work of construction, shall make estimates In detail as far as possible of the Items needed for the ensuing fiscal year, and says that after June. 190G, no money shall be ex pended on the canal or Canal Zone government except In accordance with appropriations hereafter made, thus doing away with the lump sum appro priation carried by existing law. Fre quent reports to the President and to Congress of the progress of the con struction as well as of the expendi tures of monev are required. While the bill abolisnes the Canal Commission so far as the law Is con cerned, it authorizes the President to retain th commission as a commission or its individual members as consult ing engineers. If he shall so desire.

Senate Bill Retains Commission. Senator Klttredge's bill, which was prepared by Instructions of the Inter oceanlc canal omittee, was reported today to the Sena'e. The committee has been sitting for several weeks; having before It the Mann bill as originally ns- : ported In the House and the amend ments reported February L Tne Mann bill provided specifically for the repeal of that part of the canal act authoriz ing the appointment of the commis sion ar.d fixing itr duties and powers. Thi3 section Is eliminated In the Sen ate bill, and the entire question Is cov ered In the first section, which extends the present canal act. The KIttredge bill follows out prac tically all the remaining provisions of the Mann bill, but provides also a num ber of new features. One Important change Is In the section which extends the authority now enjoyed by the Pres ident for the control of the Canal Zone. The Senate bill extends this authority until the end of tho next regular ses sion of Congress, while the Mann bill provIJes for an extension until the. end of the next Congress."" Another new feature of the Senate bill Is ob follows: All income at any time received by the United States from rentals, dividends or other wise In respect of any property now possessed or hereafter acquired In connection with the canal or railroad works shall be turned Into and credited to the fund for the construction of eald canal and works. Two new sections are added as fol lows: That all laws affecting imports of goods, wares and merchandise and entry of persons Into tho United States from foreign countries shall apply to article.', good, wares and merchandise and persona coming from the Canal Zone. Isthmus of Panama, and seeking entry Into any state or territory of the United States or the District of Columbia. The other provides for the deposit of not to exceed $1,500,000 with a bank having a fiscal ngent on the Isthmus of Panama in order that there may be a sufficient supply of money to meet the necessities of the government. The House today passed a bill mak ing appllcablo to tbe Panama Canal Zone all laws affecting Imports and the entry of persons Iritoi the United States. HORROR IN SUBMARINE BOAT Explosion of Gasoline Slays or Maims Crew and Rescuers. QUBEXSTOWX. Feb. 16. Four men were killed and 1 injured, of whom three are in a critical condition, as the result of two explosions on board the British submarine boat A-3 In the har bor today. The killed include Engineer Artificer Chaffee, a leading stoker, and Lieutenant H. G. Good, commander ofi the vessel, was blinded. His condition. Is critical. Lieutenant Skinner, an officer of the submarine boat, subsequently died of his Injuries. Only one man of the entire crew escaped uninjured. The first explosion is believed to have occurred while the crew was engaged In tilling the gasoline tank preoaratory to" proceeding outside the harbor. The A-5 caught fire after the first explosion. When this explosion occurred a number of the crew of the torpedo gunboat Hazard vol unteered to go to the re3cue of the sub marine boat's crow, but hardly had they got on board the A-5 when a second ex plosion took place and all the rescuers were more or less Injured. The. submarine boat was afterward docked, and an official statement made this evening saying the vessel has not suffered much damage. An Inquiry Into the cause of the" explosions will be lield, tomorrow. Tho A-5 was a new boat and only left her builders on Saturday. After exten sive and satisfactory trials, she was or dered to Queenstown for the- purpose of familiarizing military officers with tha appearance of p. submarine boat. Sixty army officers were present to witness the diving experiment which led to such a tragic result. Tho crew, was entirely vol unteers. The explosion, which was of the violenco of a big gun and was heard 10 miles away, shook the submarine's con voy, the Hazard, from stem to stern. Dense volumes of smoke were seen imme diately pouring from the only outlet or the helpless submarine. The rescuers report that it was only by superhuman efforts that they were able to force their way throueh the stifling fumes. They were repeatedly driven back, and when they finally reached the lower part of the boat they encountered a ter rible spectacle. Of the wounded and dy ing crew only one was able to speak co herently, and he was begging to be saved. The rescuers were forcing up the second manhole forward when the second ex plosion occurred, blowing one of them 20 feet upwards. He fell in the water and was rescued. others were slightly wounded. The Hazard sent a fresh party to the rescue, and one by one the dead and in jured were brought up. the rescuers In each case returning prostrated and faint from the fumes of the gasoline. Lieuten ant Skinner was delirious and tried to tear himself away from his rescuers.
