Mutilated by Soldiers.
"WARSAW, Russian Poland, Aug
(Special.) Another massacre of Jewa,
marked by atrocities worthy of savages,
has occurred in Blallstok, about 50 miles
southwest of Grodno. Little Is known
outside of Russia of this slaughter, while
even In Russia Itself few people know of
Its horrors. The official report minimizes
it as usual, merely stating that a party
of Jews at Blallstok threw a bomb which
killed aome soldiers, whereupon the troops
fired In self-defense, and that "during the
pcuffie" 40 Jewa were killed and 180
wounded.
But reports from a correspondent say
trustworthy eye-witnesses draw a san
guinary picture. Blallstok lies near the
Junction of the St. Petersburg-Warsaw
and Koenlgsberg-Odessa railroads, and
many troops are quartered there- The
town has 65,000 Inhabitants, three-quarters
of them Jews. Some Jewish work
ingmen were arrested there three weeks
ago and treated with exceptional bru
tality by the soldiers and policemen,
whose offlcers threatened openly that they
would crush the Jewish population and
"teach the Jews a lesson." m
A small gathering of Jews, possibly So
cialists, but not authorized by the Social
ist party to act, ordered that the brutal
iroatmpnt of their arrested coreligionists
be avenged. The persons picked to do
this work threw a bomb on AUgUBt u.
among some soldiers, of whom three were
killed, while a dozen worklngmen were
irniindd. snmp fatallv. This was the sig
nal for a violent outbreak by the troops
against all the Jews, Innocent ana guilty
alike. Soldiers marched up and down
Riniistnk streets, fihootlnir Indiscriminate
ly whoever was in sight. They entered
the houses, killing and robbing tne occu
nants.
Most of the killed or wounded were shot
In the back, proving that the troops fired
on fleeing crowds, women, ennaren ana
old men were shot down ruthlessly, and
their corpses were horribly mutilated.

ama government Indorses that proposition
of the merchants' committee, concerning
commissariats in the Canal Zone. The
government also cabled to Scnor Mendoza,
Minister of Panama at Washington, in

the American Government to the proposi
tion. The suggestion of the merchants' com
mittee is considered hero to be a Just

factory to all Interests and also helpful
to the building of the canal. The expec
tation Is that the Canal Commission will

MRS. TAGGART WORN OUT
Absent From Court When Husband's
Cousin Is on Grill.
WOOSTER. O.. Aug. 26, (Special.) Al
most worn out by the long ordeal, Mrs.
Taggart has been absent from the court
room for the past two days, leaving every
thing to her lawyers. Captain Taggart
Is at his post every session and seems to
show no signs of fatigue, although his
face shows some sign of the constant care
and watchfulness he has given to the pro
ceedings, scrutinizing every question and
answer and pointing out to his attorney
the principal points in testimony for the
defense which they have overlooked. It
was the Intention to have Mrs. Taggart
follow Billy Taggart on the stand today.
but as only an hour remained before the
time to adjourn, her attorneys decided to
take up the time with other witnesses
and leave Mrs. Taggart to take the stand
Monday morning.
The cross-examination of Billy Taggart
occupied most of the morning session.
He was asked many questions by At
torney Sterling. His replies were gen
erally indefinite or evasive. The ob
Ject of the attorney was evidently to
show that the witness had received money
from Mrs. Taggart.
Asked if it was not a fact that he
had received on May 31, 1900, a New
York draft from Mrs. Taggart, he said
"No sir." He Insisted that he had
not received another draft on the same
day from Mrs. Taggart. but finally ex
plained that he did get two drafts
amounting to 3100 about this time.
that the drafts came from Mr. Hurl
burt of Chicago, Mrs. Taggart's fin an
clal agent, and that he had received
the money to pay bills Mrs. Taggart
owed In Oroville.
He was asked if Mrs. Taggart was
not fond of him at this time, and If
he did not think a great deal of her.
"I think not," was his answer.

Wisconsin 3fan Finds Vital Organ

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 2C. (Spe
clal.) Recovering from an attack of
pOcurlsy and returning to Milwaukee
after a trip In the South for his health
to find his heart on the right side and
his condition much Improved is tho
experience of Andrew Robertson, 2
years old. "Yes. like that of the gar
dener In California, of whom recent
dispatches have told, my heart la on
tne right side," said Mr. Robertson to
day. "I fell no III effects from It and
it is difficult to realize that the vital
portion of my anatomy has f-wltchcd
Itself. I expect my friends to Jolly me
about It when they find it out, but as
long as the organ conscientiously per
forms Its functions I do not ace that
have any cause for complaint."

MTTE HOLDS OUT
CZAR'S ANSWER
(Continue from First Pare.)
attitude maintained by Mr. Wltte and
Baron Rosen. It should not be understood
that the Japanese have throughout been
entirely In accord with the President.
At times they. too. have sorely tried his
patience, by sticking out for certain de
mands which were unreasonable on their
face. But as one who Is able to speak
with authority says:
'The Russians have been ten times as
unreasonable as the Japanese and. If the
negotiations fall, ten times as much blame
should be attached to the Russians as to
the Japanese."
It may be said that the President is still
hopeful of bringing the envoys to an
agreement, but he Is not nearly so opti
mistic as he was a week ago. He Is
still hopeful that Japan will agree to
some further concessions, not because she
is not entitled to what she has demanded,
but because a continuance of the war,
even with continued victories and a large
Indemnity in the future, would not repay
her for the sacrifice of blood that a re
sumption of hostilities would entail.
KAISER DEFENDS HIMSELF.
Says Ho Always Advocated Peace
and Backs Roosevelt.
BERLIN, Aug-. 26. The Associated
Press today received the following
communication from the Foreign Of
fice:
"The Foreign Office empowers the
Associated Press to declare that all
reports of the opposition of the Em
peror to the mediation of President
Roosevelt are absurd. The Emperor
regards the endeavors of the President
with admiration, and takes the great
est Interest In the success of the labors
for peace, In whose beginning the Em
peror personally assisted."
BERLIN, Aug. 26. The Chancellor,
Prince von Buelow, telegraphed to the As
sociated Press from Norderney today a
statement In response to an Inquiry as to
Germany's attitude toward the efforts be
ing made to bring about peace between
Russia and Japan. The telegram reads as
follows:
"Since the beginning of President Roose
velt's action the German Emperor, as well
as his government, have never ceased to
advocate the cause of peace wherever an
opportunity offered Itself. Germany Is In
terested as well as America In putting an
end to the risks and uncertainties Insep
arable from cverr great war. The Em
peror and the German people cordially
wish that President Roosevelt's efforts
may be successful."
FRENCH BANKERS OPPOSE WAR
Officials in Paris Think Russians
Cannot Raise Money.
PARIS, Aug. 26. Premier Rquvler had
a long talk at the Foreign Office today
with M. Jusserand, Ambassador to the
United States. Its nature has not been
disclosed. It is probable that It related
to American affairs and to the general
status of the negotiations at Portsmouth.
Information from officials at St.
Petersburg shows that Ambassador
Meyer's meeting with the Emperor
lasted only ten minutes. The brevity
of the meeting Is looked upon as an
unfavorable sign. Nevertheless, gov
ernment circles believe that Russia's
Inability to raise more money for war
purposes will prove a decisive factor
In compelling the conclusion of peace
Since the French bankers recently
refused a new loan on account of the
uncertainties of war, their attitude has
become more uncompromising against
a prolongation of this struggle. This
is due to the dangers of depression in
the enormous French holdings of Rus
sian securities should the war go on
indefinitely.
The Bourse today became sensitive
over unfavorable reports from Ports
mouth, Russian fours declining 1 cen
time. The market closed weak, ow
ing to the depression In Russian se
curities.
DARE NOT FACE PUBLIC VIEWS
Publication of Roosevelt's Proposi
tion Would Force Envoys to Aree.
PORTSMOUTH. N. H.. Aug. 26. In
an authoritative quarter It Is learnea
tonight that the latest suggestions of
fered to the Emperors of the two war
ring powers as to an amicable adjust
ment of their differences also were
communicated simultaneously to the
envoys of Russia and Japan. This ac
tlon on the part of the President was
taken in order that no possible ground
for offense could be taken by the
plenipotentiaries because of his direct
appeal to the Emperors.
While the terms suggested by the
President are not disclosed, It Is
known that they were framed on broad
humanitarian lines. It Is permissible
to say, in the words of the authority
referred to:
"If the civilized world could know
at this time the precise nature of the
propositions made to Russia and Japan
by President Roosevelt, it would seem
that the force of the public opinion of
the world would induce the plenipo
tentiaries and their governments to
pause and consider seriously the re
sults before breaking off finally the
present conference without an agree
ment. Indeed, they might scarcely dare
face the world's opinion by refusing to
accept, in principle at least, the sug
gestions offered by the President."
SHAW PREDICTS AGREEMENT
Cabinet Official Very Optimistic of
Outcome of Conference.
CHICAGO, Aug. 26. Success of the
peace negotiations now In progress at
Portsmouth was predicted today by
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, who
discussed the negotiations unofficially
from the most optimistic point of view
and declared that he believed the
struggle between Japan and Russia
would be brought to an end before the
envoys left this country. The Secre
tary added:
"I do not want to be understood as
expressing an official opinion, for I am
not in the position to do so. My opin
ion Is based upon Information which
has reached roe and Is upon a knowl
edge of the high character of the en
voys and also upon the knowledge that
sentiment throughout the world Is
greatly In favor of peace."
QUESTION OF HONOR TO JAPAN
Possession of Sakhalin Would Wipe
Stain Off Scutcheon.
TOKIO, Aug. 26. (Special.) In com
menting on the demand by Japan that
Russia cede to It Sakhalin, the J1J1 Shim
po says:
"Nothing could be more repugnant than
the thought of our surrendering theisl
and. Its loss 90 years ago is a distinct
flaw In the golden vessel of the empire's
existence. The nation feela that, in case
It recovers the island, something will have
1mb tUlnd that may be laid with xrat-
ificatlon upon the ancestral tombs. This
Is. not a question that is either large or
small It Is a question of honor. The
possession of Sakhalin Island accom
plishes this It means that Vladivostok Is
deprived of half its value as a naval port,
and Russia's aggressive potentialities are
checked. If not completely destroyed."
HUNGRY NATION CAN'T FIGHT
Czar Realizes Russia's Distress and
Becomes More Tractable.
CHICAGO. Aug. 25. (Special.) The
correspondent of the Dally News at St.
Petersburg says:
The alarming situation In the Interior
of Russia tends to make the Czar tract
able. At any rate, he gives evidence of
willingness to consider once more Pres
ident Roosevelt's proposals of a com
promise at Portsmouth. The president
of the famine relief committee. Prince
Lyoff, after having been received In au
dience by tho Czar, said to your cor
respondent today:
"The latest Interior troubles have great
ly affected the Emperor. He realizes the
difficulty of continuing the war while the
country is filled with discontent. The
Douma ukase has proved unsatisfactory
and larger concessions are demanded,
while famine affects the people of 24
provinces and they require Immediate re
lief. I have received 1,000,000 roubles
(J510.000) for this- work and more Is
presslngly needed, for our treasury 13
empty.
"These weighty considerations are turn
ing the scale In the direction of peace.
The Czar la Inclined toward further con
cessions. He understands that a national
assembly without liberty of speech Is Im
possible."
Through the activity of the pacificists;
the Czar has received many petitions urg
ing him to make peace. Ambassador
Meyer Is In constant communication with
Peterhof.

PORTSMOUTH. Aug. 26,-One of the in
cldents of the day which was Interpreted
as a premonition that the conference was
going to pieces this afternoon came when

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 26. The
Russ says: "It Is self-evident that
Japan Is greatly In need of money.
and that she will not be able to con
tlnue the war without it. but Russia
has no reason to pay an indemnity di
rectly or indirectly, and will not do so,
It may be that President Roosevelt
will be able to find an outlet from the
impasse. Americans can work miracles
In matters of finance."
The Novoe Vremya says: "Cannot
the fortunes of war come our way
Wo have learned something In the last
18 months and have strengthened our
army and Improved Its equipment. If
we pav an Indemnity, Japan will "use
our money In preparing to deliver a
new blow. If the war Is a burden to
Japan, let her atop It. It would pay
her to do so and would insure a long
peace for both Japan and all her be
ncvolent creditors."

RIVAL MADE AN ALLY
Standard Oil Forms Alliance
With Union Oil Company.
STATE IN HANDS OF TRUST
Fierce Competition. That lias Hith
erto Existed Will Give Place to
Harmony In Making
People Pay.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 26. (Special.)
The Standard Oil Company has formed an
alliance in California with the Union Oil
Company, Its great rival In this state.
As a result, seven-eighths of the oil land
In the state Is In the hands of the trust.
As California producers already own more
oil land than any state In the Union, and
as her extensive petroleum fields have
been only scratched, the far-reaching Im
port of this move Is apparent.
The Associated Oil Company Is a branch
of the Standard, and It was through the
Associated that the deal was made. The
Union and the Associated will henceforth
co-operate. That means a world-wide
deal, so to speak, as both the Union and
Associated are reaching out for trade in
South America and the Orient.
According to reports, neither company
will lose Its Identity. Each will retain
Its own property and manage Its busi
ness, but there will be harmony Instead
of the fierce competition hitherto exist
ing. There Is every reason to believe that
the Union will never consent to the loss
of Its Identity or part with any part of
Its property. Its officers have again and
again so declared, both In official papers
and private conversations.
As the Union has between Lo.COO and
200,000 acres of oil lands, approximately
four-fifths of the entire territory In the
state, refineries at San Francisco and Ba-
kerafleld. pipe lines from the Santa Maria
fields to Port Harford, and from tne fui
lerton. OUnda and Whlttier districts to
San Pedro, large tankage at principal ports
on the Coast and ships to enable it to
reach many points Independent of the rail
roads. It Is clearly In a position to main
tain independence.
