RIOTS IN RUSSIA.
The Peasantry Manifest Their - Opposi
tion to the Export of Bye. -. !
St. Petersbrrg, Aug..' 28. Details of
the rioting at Vitebruk,-- capitol - of the
government of that -name, occassioned
by the people protesting-against the ex
portation of rye, show a disturbance of
a serious nature. The. governor reports
there is evidence that a general revolt of
the peasantry was planned Peasants
attacked the railroad officials, claiming
that no more rye should leave Vitebrak,
and severely beat a Jewish grain dealer
who was blamed for the whole trouble.
The peasantry also plundered the resi
dences of the grain dealers and finally
combined in an attack upon the railroad
station. The railrod officials sent for
the assistance of the militia, and the
latter tried to dislodge the rioters from
their position in and about the station.
The rioters resisted stubbornly and their
supporters outside the station made a
fierce attack upon the soldiers.
finally the officer in command ot the
troops, after repeatedly threatening the
crowds, gave the order to fire upon the
rioters. The soldiers then fired a volley,
killing three peasants and wounding a
number of others. Tne rioters soon dis
persed.-
Other and somewhat similar disturD-
ances are reported from uunaibery,
Vint, and other places, but no details
have yet been made public.
NO FREE PRESS.
American Journalists Summarily Sup
pressed in Mexico.
New Yobk, Aug. 28. M. T. Magee &
Co., of 70 "Wall street, were informed
yesterday that President Dial, of Mexico,
had ordered a young American writer on
the Two Republics to leave the country
because he bad criticised some act of the
president. Efforts were also in progress
to learn the identity of another Ameri
can journalist who recently sent from the
Mexican capital an article exposing the
methods of the administration. Accord
ing to Mrgee & Co.'s advices, a number
of Mexican newspaper men are in jail
for daring to point out mistakes made by
President Diaz. The administration
newspapers are advocating the expulsion
of several American correspondents who
do not praise President Uiaz's manage
ment of Mexico's affairs. .
LIVE CATTLE .FOR CANADA.
Permission to Be Granted for Import
. With Certain Stipulations.
Ottawa, Ontario, Aug..: 28. On the
final passage of the livestock bill through
the senate, Abbott, the premier, referred
to the proposed permission to capitalists
to import United States live cattle in
bond for slaughter in Canada, and as
sured the senate that the utmost precau
tions would need to be adopted. If it
was found that the admission of United
States cattle into Canada endangered the
Canadian cattle trade with ureat .Britain
the Canadian government would cancel
the privilege at once.

BIG RAILROAD DEAL
The Vanderbilts Gain Control of the
Union Pacific System Now They
Can Dictate to Other Lines.
Three Young Girls Betrayed and Left
Destitute Balmaceda Overthrown
Big Fire in Dakota
Caicago, Aug. 29. The morning pa
pers says: It, is generally understood
that Jay Gould has virtually relinquished
his control of the Union Pacific railway
and that the stocks and bonds of the
company have been placed in the hands
of the banking firm of Drexel, Morgan
Co. The general opinion is that
Drexel, Morgan & Co., have acquired
control of the Union Pacific in the inter
est of the Vanderbilts. They are finan
cial agents for Vandebilts and are also
in control of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul. This indicates a close alliance
between the Union Pacific and North
western and St. Paul roads is completed.
The Vanderbilts have long been
anxious to secure a foothold west of the
Missouri river and gain an independent
outlet for their system of roads to the
Pacific coast. It is not likely they will
be content with the Union Pacific alone,
but they mean to acquire other impor
tant railway systems west of the Rocky
mountains.
If the Vanderbilts succeed in getting
the Rio Grande, it is believed their next
move will be to secure control of the
Southern Pacific, and there are no ser
ious obstacles in the way of their getting
it. With this road in their control the
Vanderbilts will be able- to dictate
terms to all other lines "so far as through
tariff between the Atlantic and Pacific
is concerned. Gould probably is inter
ested in this scheme and has an under
standing with Vanderbilts, and Drexel,
Morgan & Co., whereby his railroad in
terests in the west will receive ample
protection.
AN AWFUL SIGHT.
Three Women and Six Children
Found
in a Destitute Condition.
Montreal, Aug. 29. A terrible case
was brought to light at a late hour last
night. Dr. O'Conor was called . into a
house kept Mrs Galloway to attend a dy
ing baby. - He found three women in a
destitute condition and on the bed were
six infants, one of them dead while four
others were dying. The unfortunate
women told a harrowing tale of how they
all were employed as servants who. had
been betrayed and went to the house
where they were found for refuge. . The
woman of the house, who was supposed
to look after them, skipped out and the
inmates were left in a destitute condi
tion., All were at starvation point.
The infants except one, will die.
BAIMACEDA'B DEFEAT.
Unexpected Turn of Affairs at the Seat
of War.
Washington, Aug, 29. The unex
pected turn of affairs in Chili is a sub
ject of paramount interest at the state
and naval departments today. No de
tails of the capture of Valparaiso are yet
received. It is not believed that Bal
maceda has been completely , defeated.
As long as Balmaceda remains in poss
ession of Santiago, the capital of Chili,
and until the congressional party shall
have set upadefacto government, the
department of state must continue to
recognize Jsalmaceda as president and
Senor Loz (Jano as minister of Chili.
Did not Damage the Crops.
Minneapolis, Aug. 29.r--Reports from
fifty-eight points in Dakota and Mmne
sota indicate in some places no damage,
while in other places the damage done
will not run over 10 per cent, from the
recent frost. All reports speak most
enthusiastically about the yield, no
estimate being below eighteen and some
run as high as thirty-nve bushels to the
acre, the average about twenty-live.
Nothing Definite Known. .
Washington, Aug. 29. Up to noon
today, nothing regarding yesterday's
battle at Valparaiso was received at
headquarters of the' congressional party
in this city. Envoys hardly expect any
details of the fight by telegram .today.
The insurgent leaders, it is thought, will
immediately remove their head quarters
from Iquique to Valparaiso.
. An Official Announcement.
Paris, Aug. -29. An official estimate
of the damage by the recent cyclone on

UNITED IN DEATH.
Lived Happily, and in Death They Were
Not Divided.
Gkayling" Mich., Aug. 28. James
Burns has been living on a farm near
Red Oak for' four years. He was 45
years -old, apparently of considerable
means and culture, and lived quietly
with a handsOme girl 28 years old, whom
he said was his daughter Alice. Burns
had not been seen for several days, but
the neighbors paid no attention to the
matter, as he was reserved and seemed
to care only for his daughter, Yester-..
day Herman Grosty went to the house,
but could not get in. He found a fam
ishing horse in the barn and then broke
in the rear door of the house. A horrible
stench nearly drove him back, but on
going into a back room, he discovered
Burns' body on a bed .with the girl's
body lying across it. A tight cord
around the girl's neck showed that she
had died of strangulation. There were
no signs of a struggle, and everything in
the house was in order. The supposition
is that Burns died a natural death or
committed suicide- by poison, and that
the girl, on discovering his death,
strangled herself. Papers in the house
showed that the girl was not Burus'
daughter.
CRUISE OF THE MEKMAID. -
Captain Andrews Found it Much Rougher
Than Was Agreeable.
Antwerp, Aug. 28. Captain Andrews,
of the dory Mermaid, says he had good
weather until thirty-five days out from
Boston, when a terrible storm came np.
August 16 a "huge wave filled the Mer
maid with seven inches of water. Next
a tremendous wave capsized the boat
and Andrews thought he was lost. He
was in the cabin, but managed to open
the batch and, climbing upon the keel
tightened boat prayed to God, for the
sake of his familv, "to give him another
chance ; he would stop this business.
He then closed . himself in the cabin
again and passed two davs and nights in

on the bottom of the boat for four days
until picked up by the steamer Exbruz.
Andrews declares that he will never at
tempt such a voyage again. .
THE . LABORING, CAUSE.
The Striking Stevedores at San Fran
cisco Meet With but Slight Success.'
San Francisco, Aug. 27. The arbitra
tion committee of the waterfront federa
tion called upon Good-ill, Perkins & Co.r
this morning to arrange for a settlement
of the difficulty with the' striking steve-dors.-
According to the members of the
committee, the firm refused to concede
the advance in wages asked, but agreed
to take the strikers back at the old rates
of 30 cents per hour and 40 cents over
time. This is said to have been acceded
to by Mr. Center, of the Pacific Mail
company also. The Stevedores' union
will meet to consider the proposition.
The employers, however, assert that
they have not agreed to discharge the
non-union men whom thejr have em
ployed on the dock, and will give the
strikers employment only as there may
be opening for thora. ,i .
. A FRATRICIDE.
A Delaware Man , Kills fits. Brother
With a Shovel.
Georgetown, Del., Aug. 28. George
and William Walker, two brothers re
siding at Reynold's mill, a few miles
from here, became involved in a quarrel
over some horse feed, when George
Walker picked up a shovel which was
near by, and struck his brother a terrible
blow over the head, which felled him to
the ground. His skull was fractured
and he died this morning. The assailant
is still at large, and the Milton anthori-.
ties say they will not touch the case un
til the family bring a charge against the
assilant, which they are slow to do.
An Authority.
' The' Encyclopedia Brittanica says ;
The manipulation of poor teas, to give
them a finer appearance, is not only
carried on where the teas are grown, but
also in England and America. Glazing
poor tea with Prussian blue, plumbago,
or black lead, to give it a smooth, glossy
appearance, is so very common that
little genuine uncolored tea is offered
for sale." Beech.s Tea is guaranteed
"pure as childhood." For sale bv Leslie

, Switchmen are Victorious.
Lima, P., Aug. 27,--The Lake Erie &
Western trainmen this morning resuned
work. At Tuesday night's conference
the company conceded the demand of
the strikers, but asked till September 1
to put the new arrangements in force.
Should the overtime demanded by the
men then not be forthcoming, there will
be another strike. '
Senator Peffer's- latest demand for
money is that it "ought to be issued just
like- nostacre stamps to anv one who
might call for- it."- Bless his wh'skers,
he can get all the money he wants in
just that way now, but he must pay for
it just as he pays Tor his pottage stamps.
He can't get postage stamps or money
fOr nothing. Money" isn't air or water.
It represents something has" intrinsic
