RUSSIAN STRIKE
DOOMED TO Ft
Fatal Lack of Union Among
Leaders of Proletariat
Organizations.
RAILROAD MEN AT WORK
Success of Entire Movement De
pends on Their Joining It, but
the Leaders Dare Not
Call Them Out.
ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 6. The
fate of the general strike, which, al
though It has affected close to 50,000
men In St. Petersburg,' has met with
only slight response In other sections
of Russia, probably will be decided to
day, with an adverse expression of
public opinion. The lack of union
among the leaders of the proletariat
organizations is playing against the
success of the movement.
The railroad men, upon whom the
success of the entire movement de
pends, are still working full time. The
leaders of the railroad organizations
are hesitating about issuing a call for
a tleup. They fear being deserted and
discredited by their materialistic fol
lowers, who are no more responsive to
the avowed pretext of this strike,
namely, sympathy with the mutineers
of Sveaborg, Cronstadt and Revul, than
they were to the similar reasons given
for the abortive strike of test Novem
ber. Railroad Men Intimidated.
The railroad men have been intimi
dated by the recent law making of
strikes affecting communications a
penal offense. The law providing se
vere punishment was enacted with di
rect reference to general strikes.
The Council of Workmen's deputies,
which met secretly at Teriokl, Finland,
continued its sessions until a late hour
yesterday morning. The deputies were
so incensed at the timidity displayed
by the railroad men that they decided
to resort, if necessary, to the blowing
up of bridges and the destruction of
the roadbeds, etc., to bring the trans
portation service to a standstill.
The telegraphers thus far have been
appealed to in vain. The final meeting
of the council is being held at
1:30 this morning.
The first break in the ranks of the
St. Petersburg strikers occurred yes
terday, when the printers decided to
return to work. The employes of sev
eral street-car lines and river ferries
have resumed work.
A steady downpour of rain all day
long prevented the open-air gatherings
scheduled for the day in St. Peters
burg, and the consequent possibility of
collisions and disorders. The day was
without Incident. There was a large
number of drunken men among the
soldiers.
Telegrams from the interior throw
little light on the manner in which
the country may be expected to re
spond to the day's call for a strike.
There has been no cessation In the
number of robberies and murders in
the interior.
Government's Great Hope.
The government attaches much Im
portance to the declaration of the
Poles in the Minsk Congress against
the principle of expropriation and in
favor of acquiescing in the dissolution
of the lower house and preparing for
new elections. This action is regard
ed In administrative circles as, almost
equivalent to the withdrawal of the
propertied class of Poland from the
revolutionist movement.
Novoe Vremya's Wild Dream.
The Novoe Vremya, which is the only
newspaper appearing except In dodger
form, devoted a large portion of its
space this morning to an article proph
esying war between Japan and the
United States, and predicting a sure
and speedy victory for the Japanese,
the seizure of the Philippines and Ha
waii, and the occupation by the Japa
nese of California.
APPREHENSION AT ODESSA.
Cossack Again in Streets No News
From Sevastopol.
ODESSA, Aug. 5. Telegraphic com
munication between here and Sevastopol
has been Interrupted for the last 8 hours.
Governor-General Kaulbars has not yet
returned from Sevastopol.
Flashlight signals were exchanged at
midnight last night between the roof of
the commandant's residence here and a
torpedo-boat a few miles at sea.
There Is a certain apprehension of im
pending events. For the first time in two
weeks Cossacks appeared in town last
night, forming double guards at the resi
dences of the Governor, the prefects and
the commandants and at public buildings.
Persistent reports are in circulation
concerning conditions at the garrison.
The French Consul here has been in
structed by his government in ease of ne
cessity, to give refuge to all fugitives Ir
respective of nationality.
WHIP MINERS TO DEATH.
Cossacks Fail to Prevent Spread of
Strike at Uzovka.
UZOVKA, Aug 5. In spite of the proc
lamation of the Governor-General to take
"extraordinary measures" in case the
workmen still laboring in the mines
should cease work, the summons from St.
Petersburg for a general strike has met
with the approbation of workmen here.
The postal, telegraph and telephone em
ployes today expressed to the Associated
Press their willingness to strike, and even
an officer of the Cossacks said he viewed
the strike with satisfaction.
Workmen in the Mongovia pits to the
number of 2500 went on strike today after
Cossacks had broken up their meeting and
whipped three of the resisting miners to
death. Soldiers have been detailed to
pump out the flooded mines.
NOW FAVOR EXPROPRIATION
Baltic Nobles Change Front on the
Land Question.
RIGA, Aug. 6. At a congress of Baltic
landowners, held here today, a resolution
was passed In favor of the sale of crown
and church lands and the gradual ex
propriation of estate in excess of the
established maximum. No peasant family
owning more than 60 acres may obtain
land under this system.
The Baltic nobility up to the present
time have been opposed to the expropria
tion of land.
Revolutionists Avow the Crime:
SAMARA, Aug. 5. The fighting organiz
ation of the revolutionists has issued a
proclamation avowing responsibility for
the assassination August 3 of Governor
Block, of this city. Many arrests have
been made. The Governor's body was

EIMNYTO MEET AT BOISE
WASHINGTON HOPES TO CAP
TURE NEXT CONVENTION.
Interest High in Districts ' Where
Arid Lands Have Been Trans
formed Into Garden Spots.
NORTH. YAKIMA, Wash., Aug. 6.
(Special.) During the first week of Sep
tember the National Irrigation Congress
will be In session, at Boise, Idaho, with
an attendance of several thousand dele
gates. Exhibits of fruit and honey are
being prepared by different localities and
states. The premiums are liberal. It Is
expected that the Governor of Washing
ton will appoint 25 delegates, that each
commercial club will appoint ten, and
that each Board of County Commissioners
will appoint five. It Is believed that if a
full delegation attends the convention it
will be able to secure the next National
congress at some point In this state. It
is hoped that the various fruitgrowers'
associations and the State Beekeepers'
Association will have on exhibition prod
ucts of the orchard and apiary which
will take silver cups and other premiums.
The Yakima County Horticultural Union
Is arranging to send elegant exhibits of
fruits and honey. "The delegation from
that county will ask the convention to
pass a resolution memorializing Congress
to appropriate J300,000,000 for reclamation
of arid lands in the West.
The State Beekeepers' Association has
secured a , Bigelow observatory hive,
stocked with pure bred Italian bees, for
the purpose of giving object lessons in
the apiary. It will be used at the month
ly meetings of the association to teach
farmers and the high-school classes. It
will be one of the interesting features of
the display at the Washington State Fair.
The secretary of the fair has agreed to set
apart one of the prominent corners in
the main pavilion jor the apiary exhibit,
and $200 has been appropriated for pre
miums in that division.
The three days' midwinter convention
of the State Beekeepers' Association will
be held at the Agricultural College at
Pullman next January, and the observa
tory hive will be In full operation to In
struct the students of that college. The
students of the Idaho Agricultural Col
lege, which Is only nine miles from Pull
man, are also invited to be present at
that meeting.
The business of beekeeping is an ad
junct of the orchard, bees being the best
friend of the fruitgrower, for the reason
that these insects cross pollenize the
blossoms and increase the yield. These
two industries go hand in hand, and are
rapidly becoming valuable sources of In
come. As an example of what organization
does, a few years ago the Yakima County
Horticultural Union Incorporated and sold
its shares of stock at 110; the past year
the dividends were 70 per cent, a ware
house 60x180 feet has Just been completed,
th material being stone and the structure
two stories and full basement, one front
being on the Northern Pacific Railroad
and the other on the North Coast road.
The shares are now selling at J20, and it
Is anticipated that the capital stock will
have to be increased in order to accom
modate the demand.
Fruit Inspector Brown, of Takima Coun
ty, says that In five years from now. he
calculates that 12.000 cars per year will
be shipped from the warehouse at North
Takima.

Chicago Federation Bows to Order
Issued by Hostile Firm.
CHICAGO, Aug. E. (Special.) For
the first time In the history of organ
ized labor, the Chicago Federation of
Labor today authorized members of
that body to obey an injunction issued
against labor unions. The Injunction
was issued some time ago against the
Bakers' Union No. 2 in favor of the
Heusner Baking Company, and denied
union men the right of interfering in
any way with the Heusner Baking
Company's employes and denying union
men the right of loitering around the
building occupied by the baking com
pany, talking to any employe of the
concern, or entering any place where
bread made by the complainant was
sold. The federation interpreted the
order today as meaning that any union
roan who entered any bakery, grocery
store "or any other place where Heus
ner bread was sold was liable to arrest
and Instructed 'the delegates present
to keep out of every store that han

Just Let Baby Cry.
Outing.
And now as to the cry of temper and
the cry of habit of indulgence. You don't
have to be told, little mother, what these
cries Indicate. You know perfectly well
they indicate you have made a false
start. You know that blessed baby is
crying for a light in his room, to be
rocked, to be carried about, for a bottle
to be sucked, or to be Indulged in some
other bad habit you have been the means
of his acquiring. Well, the thing has got
to be checked right here and now. What
are you going to do? There Is only one
thing for you to do If you are satisfied,
beyond a reasonable doubt, that it is the
cry of temper or indulgence don't go near
the little darling.
"What! let him cry?" Exactly, "But
he will go on crying!" Well, God bless
his little soul! Let him bawl it out, if it
takes one, two or even three hours.
"You don't really mean that?" Yes I do.
"But he may hurt himself!" No, he
won't. If he is a very young baby, you
will see that his abdominal band is prop
erly applied, and then there will be not
the least danger of rupture. And if he is
more than a year old, there will be no
danger of rupture under any circum
stances. "But what will happen If he
goes on crying for three hours?" That's
easy he will stop. And what's more, it
Is ten to one that the next time he cries
from temper or Indulgence he will keep
it up for 10 or 15 minutes, and then, seeing
it's no use, he will quit for good and alf

CASE HAS NOVEL FEATURES
A. W. Bishop Concocts Sad Story to
Extort Money From Relative.
Spouse Foils Scheme and
He Takes Revenge.
HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 6. A. W.
Bishop, a rancher living a few miles out
of town, is locked up in the city jail here
today as the result of a fine of 130 for
wifebeating. The motive which prompted
Bishop to beat his wife is said by Judge
Henderson, before whom he was taken
for a hearing, to be without a parallel In
his experience. In passing sentence, he
told the prisoner that he regretted very
much that it was not in his Jurisdiction
to send him to the whipping-post. '
Living with Bishop and his wife is his
aged father, who for some time has been
ill, but not dangerously so. In order to
raise funds to continue a spree which he
had been indulging in for some time.
Bishop conceived the idea of telegraphing
his sister, who is said to be a successful
artist in Chicago, that their aged parent
was at death's door and would be able
to survive but a few hours, and asking,
her for funds with which to bury him.
The sister, it is said, wired Bishop that
she would send the money, and made ar
rangements with a banking house here to
pay it. Mrs. Bishop, however, having
learned of this ruse of her husband to
extort money from his relative, sent her
son to the bank and had payment on the
check stopped. When Bishop returned to
the bank for the money he was informed
that he could not have it.
Discovering, that it was his wife and
son who had thwarted him in obtaining
the funds, he sought out the boy and gave
him such a terrible beating that he is
said to have run away from home. He
then went home and beat his wife so
cruelly that she, with the assistance of
neighbors, came Into town and swore out
a warrant for his arrest.
The Marshal, with a deputy, then went
in pursuit of Bishop and found him near
his home, fortified behind a large irri
gating can and armed with a shotgun.
After a few minutes' parley, he decided
to surrender, and was placed under ar
rest and brought to town. At the hearing
he at first pleaded not guilty, but later
changed the plea to guilty and was given
the maximum penalty allowable by a
Justice of the Peace of 50 line, in default
of which he will serve 25 days In the
County Jail at The Dalles.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 5. American Am

agents throughout the republic on the
consensus of which is based the fact
that there Is no ground for alarm on the
part of Americans or foreigners. The
Consuls report tranquillity at all points
save some labor, agitation at railway cen
ters; the railway strike on the Mexican

have again called on the American Am

BODY. HORRIBLY MANGLED
Conductor of Northern Pacific Train
Brutally Insists on Moving Cars
Before Remains Are Re
moved by Coroner.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 5. (Special.)
While trying to get his dog from under
a freight train standing on the Northern
Pacific Railway trestle over Madelia
street, Max Gady. 7 years old, was In
stantly killed this afternoon, when a
Bwitch engine' bumped Into the "dead"
train, moving it three feet, and mangling
the lad almost beyond recognition. The dog
escaped Injury, and when the train, had
come to a stop, the animal gazed at the
mangled remains of the little master,
growling whenever any one approached
the body.
While the boy's body was lying on the
ground, Conductor Early, of the freight
train crew, came running up and said he
wanted to move the train at once, as it
was due to pull out at 4 o'clock. Paul
Gady, the father of the boy, objected.
"It is right that the poor boy should
remain where he is until the Coroner ar
rives, and you cannot move the train
without further injuring his body," said
the father.
"Who are you?" asked the conductor.
"I am the father of that boy," he re
piled, pointing to the bulge under the
blanket.
"Well, it don't make any difference who
you are, wo are gomg to move the train."
The conductor afterward ordered Engi
neer Tobey to proceed with making up
the train. ,
