lata today inaugurated a carnival of
murderous attacks with lomba and re
volver! on the police and troops in va
rloua title In Poland, echoes of which
are heard from Hamara, Ufa, Yalta,
Kiev and even far away Chita, where
the acting chief of police wan slain al
most on his own doorstep.
The revolutionist campaign flamed
out with special virulence at Warsaw,
w here over a score were killed in the
stieets, and many more wete wounded.
Among the killed, according to the lat
ent official advices, were two sergeants
of police, elK'lit patrolmen, throe gen
darmes, five soldiers, a Hebrew merch
ant and a woman. Te returns are not
all in.
Policemen and soldiers were shot
down like rabbits in the streets. Their
assailants, who traveled in small hands,
almost all escaped anions the terrorized
hut sympathetic populace. The only
considerable capture was a tHnd of
three men who hnd Invaded a Krrg
shop and killed a soldier. These were
taken by a parsing patrol.
Homhs were employed in an attack
on the police station at Warsaw, where
a sergeant, two patrolmen and a sol
dier were wounded.
Other Polish cities singled out by the
terrorists were Lodz, where six sol
diers, three patrolmen ami the wife of
a police captain were wounded by the
explosion of bombs in the police station

especially several attacks on post trains,
the railway between Hamara and Zla

Kuardi on all its trains, was today
placed under martial law. Two of
these attacks occurred today near Ufa,
revolutionist! in each case flanging the
train, bunting open the doors of the

MOO IS SUPREME.
Huian Terrorist! Wrenk Vengeance
on Hated Police.
Kt. Petersburg, Aug. 15. Advices
received from l.ilmu slate that the riot
ous demonstrations that began there
Saturday night still continue and that
the Hooligan element absolutely holds
sway in the city, the police being pow
erless to check it. f.nw abiding citizens
are unable to traverse the streets ami a
reign of robbery and rapine in in pro
Kress that will not he checked until
troops are sent to aid the police
Ho far all appeals to the government
at Ht. Petersburg have fallen apnar
ently upon deaf ears and this fact has
emboldened the disturbing element to
dd murder to ita other crimen. Five
storekeepers have been murdered dur
ing the past 12 hours and hundreds of
shop! Itave been looted. The rioters
raided the alcohol depot, and after
filling themselves up on the fiery fluid,
paraded the streets, shouting threats
against the Jewa and factory owneri
and storekeepers.
Three police officer! have been inui
dered since Tuesday morning, the Ter
rorlsts apparently having seized upon
the confusion as offering a magnificent
opportunity to eliminate the hated
members of the police who have been
activo in working against them
There is one ngiment of infantry in
the local barracks at Libau, but it is
mutinous and the oflicern some days
ago took from the men all their am
munition, as it was feared that they in
tended to mutiny.
FIRST INSURANCE TRIAL.

the insurance cases involving the earth
quake clause was set for trial today by
Superior Judge Hebbard. The case !b

surance company. The attorney for
the insurance people asked that the
case be not set for trial until opportu
nity could Tie given the judges mutual
ly to arrange with the insurance com
panies for a test case. He said that
the insurance companies would demand
a jury trial in each cane, and unless
proper arrangements were made for a
test case the courts would be occupied
for years in hearing insurance litiga
tion.
The attorney for the plaintiff dtclar
ed that there were points of fact in this
connection that could not be settled by
a tent cae. The court then asked the
insurant e attorney if he waived a jury
trial, and was answered, "No." The
judge then asked, "Do you demand a
jury trial.'" but could not get a direct
answer.
The attorney for the shoe company
then announced that to save time be
would formally demand a jury trial.
The cast was set for August 27.

been subscribed to construct the Young
Men's Christian association building,
and $100,000 more ia assured.

RAILROADS TO HELP
Immunity lor Testifying Against
Standard Oil Company.
EVIDENCE INSURES INDICTMENT
Railroad Men Have ,No Hesitancy in
Uncovering All Transaction!
With Oil Octopui.
Chicago, Aug. 14. Immunity to dif
ferent railroad officials from prosecu
tion for violating interstate commerce
laws in giving rebates to the Standard
Oil company is the price which the
Federal authorities are paying for tes
timony upon which they will try to se
cure the conviction of the Standard Oil
company and some of its official!. Jt
waa announced today by local railroad
men that they will have no hesitancy
in uncovering all the transactions be
tween the roads and the oil combine to
the local Federal grand jury, because
they are sure that by so doing they will
be themselves exempt from prosecution.
When the oil combine prosecution
was first launched, it was found by the
Federal authorities that railroad offi
cials familiar with the facts declined to
come forward. An inquiry addressed
to such officials brought forth an an
nouncement of the railroad men's posi
tion by the different general counsel of
the roads. Open notice was served
that the officials of the roads would not
give information because in so doing
they would be placing theme.-lvta and
their own railroads in danger of indict
ment and prosecution. After consulta
tion between counsel for the railroads
and the government the silence of the
railroad men was broken and proof ia
now forthcoming upon which indict
ments will be voted oy the grand jury.
It was explained by one of the lead
ing local railroad attorneys today that
the definite understanding has been
reached between their clients and the
department of Justice that, in return
for proof npon which to indict and con
vict the oil combine and its officials,
the railroads will not be molested with
any prosecution, so Jar as the giving of
rebates to the Standard Oil company is
concerned.
EVEN STOLE COLLATERAL.
Limit to Stensland's Crimes Not Yet
Found by Inspectors.
Chicago Aug. 14. The belief that
large amounts of collateral given as ee
curity for notes in the Milwaukee Ave
nue Lank have been stolen practically
became a certainty last night, when a
note for $9,000, known to be genuine,
waa found in Stensland a house at By
ron street and Lawndale avenue
Search waa made for the collateral se
curity, but it could not be found.
The discovery opened up a field for
almost unlimited speculation aa to how
far the looting proceeded before Stens
land disappeared. If the real estate
and other securities in the bank have
been stolen or are found to be worth
less, the amount of money left to pay
the depositors probably will be reduced
aa low aa 25 per cent.
Assistant State a Attorney Olson was
informed yesterday afternoon that Pres
ident Stensland haa large land holdings
in Mexico, and that he may be in the
Southern republic now. The informa
tion came in the shape of a letter from
an acquaintance of Stensland. Mr. Ol
son said that it will take only 24 hours
to run down the clew.
Government May Complete Work.
Washington, Aug. 14. As soon as
inventories have been taken of the con
tractors' outfits seized by the Geological
survey at Corbett tunnel and Shoshone
dam, on irrigation projects of Northern
Wyoming, consideration will be given
1 1 plans for completing those great con
tracts. The failure of the contractors
s being investigated. It ia likely the
Geological survey will continue the
works with the equipment and supplies
seized, rather than let a new contract.
More than 11,000,000 ia involved in
t ie projects.
Railroads Offer Bribe.
St. Paul, Aug. 14. A meeting of the
State Warehouse and Railroad commis
sioners waa held today for the purpose,
it ia stated, of acting on a proposition
from the Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific and Boo, Line railroads, which
agree to reduce the freight rate on
wheat 1 cent a hundred pounds provid
ed the commission will call off the
present investigation and agitation of
freight rates on commodities. The
proposition waa rejected.
More Damage by Texas Flood.
Houston, Tex., Aug. 14. The work
of repairing the Southern Pacific tracka
at Sanderson ia proceeding rapidly,
and unless there are further rains traf
fic will be resumed Thursday evening.
The cloudburst of yesterday washed
away 6,000 feet of track and 1,000 feet
of bridgea in Meyera and Willow
Springa canyons, near Langtry, in ad
dition to the six miles already gone.
One Mexican fell into a swollen stream
and waa drowned yesterday.
Custom Houses for Manchuria.
Pekin, Aug. 14. The Japanese min
ister has informed China that Japan ia
ready to establish a customs service at
Port Dalny and urgea China to make
similar arrangements at the frontier
stations in Northern Manchuria, so &i
to place the traffic on the Japanese and
Russian railways on au equality.
INSURANCE MONEY HELPS.
Rebuilding Operations In San Fran
tico Begin With Vigor.
Han Francisco, Aug. 14. The re
building of Han Francisco has begnn in
earnest. There is little talk, there is
little boasting, bnt there is a vast
amount of work. It may be observed
on every hand. It has suddenly grown
to large proportions, due to increased
payments by the insurance companies.
These payments now total $50,000,000
enough to wariant a decided step in
advance in reconstruction. But still
the $50,000,000 represents only 20
centa on the dollar of the amount due
the policy holders of the city. The
thirty days' grace allowed by law, after
the three months allotted for the filing
of proofs of loss, have elapsed and the
insurance corporations must now pay
or flatly refuse.
The $50,000,000 has not been paid
with the same cheerfulness with which
the premiums were collected, in fact,
it ia not an exaggeration to say that a
very large part of the amount haa been
"wrung" from the companies. It ia
still a question aa to the sum which
the policy holders will collect in the
end. It ia organisation that has car
ried them to the point already attained,
and it will be organisation that will
carry them further. There is very lit
tle single handed fighting against the
companies. Most of the individual
suits filed are test cases to determine
the validity of certain doubtful clauses
and to decide how far the "earthquake
clause" will prevail. The policy hold
ers have been merged into a gigantic
organization, whicn has employed a
corps of lawyers and will either foice
the companies to do the "square thing"
or else announce their p r3dity to the
world.
DOES NOT COVET TASK.
Nicholas Declines Post of Command
er of Russian Army.
Ht. Petersburg, Aug. 14. Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, the
Associated Press is informed by a mem
ber of bis entourage, has declined to
accept the poBt of commander in chief
of all the troops of the empire, "where
martial law exists, which was ten
dered to him Augugt 4.
hether this was decided before or
after tin attempt on the life of the
grand d ike fct Krasnoye-Selo on August
10 is not known, but the ostensible
reason is ttat Grand Duke Nicholas be
lievts that tu h a post should not be
given to a grand duke, but merely a
military man. He advocates the ap
pointment of General Linievitch, form
erly commadner in chief of the Man
rhurian army, but the emperor has not
finally decided the matter.
The activity oi the Terrorists in the
provinces included, beside the usual
harvest of assassinations in Warsaw,
an attempt on the life of General Ka
rateheff, chief of the gendarmerie of
Samara province, and the wounding of
Captain of Police Ivanoff, of Libau, by
a youth who fired thrice at him on the
street.
WILL TALK IRRIGATION.
Expert Engineers Meet in Conference
at Boise September 3.
Washington, Aug. 14. The fourth
annual conference of the engineers of
the United States Reclamation service
will be held at Boise, Idaho, Septem
ber 3 to 8, the fourteenth irrigation
congress also being in session at Boise
at that time.
Thia conference ia in continuation of
the general policy of holding annually
a meeting of the principal engineer of
the Reclamation service for the purpose
of discussing matters of administration
and economics of work. The bringing
together of these engineers and prom
inent citizena of the West makes possi
ble an interchange of views and a dis
cussion of data leading to results of
very great vaiue in the furtherance of
the purposes of the reclamation act.
Each of the engineers, experts and
specialists in the various lines will sub
mit a brief paper embracing some point
of general interest, such aa detailed
methods of cost, keeping, of designing,
construction, maintenance, or opera
tion. Owing to tne advanced condition
of many of the irrigation projects now
under construction it is expected that
thia conference will be of more than
usual interest and importance.
SevenJMutineers Condemned.
Helaingfors, Finland, Aug. 14. The
trial by court martial of the Sveaborg
mutineers commenced Saturday, and
Lieutenants Kochanovsky and Emilian
off, aged respectively 20 and 21 years,
and five soldiers were at the first sit
ting found guilty and condemned to

common grave without ceremony.
Kochanovaky'a father is a colonel of
the guarda at St. Petersburg. Emil

graph to the emperor for a reprieve,
but unsuccessfully.
Sultan Not in Danger.
Constantinople, Aug. 14. Officials
inform callers at the palace that the
sultan was suffering from the effects of
a chill during the past week, but that
he has now completely recovered. His
phjeiciana, however, advised hia majes
ty not to risk exposure to the open air,
and hence the abandonment of the eel
anilik Friday. The local press ia for
bidden to publish anything concerning
the state of the sultan's health or of the
abandonment of the selamlik.

One of the queerest of odd creatures
Is the mud skipper or jumping fish of
the large rivers of India and the neigh
boring sea oousts. At ebb tide these
little fishes leave the water to hunt for
tiny crabs, flies, etc., and their strong
itectornl and ventral fins, aided by their
tall, enable them to move about easily
ami to climb upon trees, grass and
leaves. With their huge eyes, seeming
to project far out of the sockets, they
can see as well on the land as In the
water. They progress In short, quick
leaps, effected by sharply bending the
rear third of the body to the left and
suddenly straightening It. In color they
are usually light brown with dark
bftnds, though they sometimes appear
light green. They are easily caught
and are much used In Burma for live

Asbestos porcelain, the new material
of Garros, a European chemist, Is
claimed to have the desirable properties
of true porcelain end certain advan
tages In addition. As asbestos fibers
are very thin, with diameters between
one one hundred thousandth and one
two hundred thousandth of sn Inch,
they can be crushed to an exceedingly
fine powder; this Is made Into a paste
with water, and after repented knend
lngs the mass Is poured into molds.
When the objects thus shaped are heat
ed In a crucible to 1700 C, a trans
parent product like ordinary porcelain
Is obtained. If the powder has been
washed with sulphuric acid, a porous
asbestos porcelain of pale yellowish or
white color results when the molded
articles are kept for eighteen hours at
1200 C.
' It occurred to Prof. R. W. Wood re
cently to try to represent by under
water photography the appearance of
the out-of-water world as Tlewed by
the eyes of fish. The results are very
curious, depending ou the refraction of
light by water. For Instance, with a
box Allied with water, having a photo
graphic plate at the back and a pin
hole covered with glass at the front
the situation of a fish looking out of the
side of an aquarium Is Imitated. With
such an arrangement Prof. Wood found
that all three sides and the complete
celling and floor of a room could be
photographed at one view. Placed at a
point where three streets meet at a
right angle, it gave a view looking down
all three street. Including the ground
up to the base of the tripod, and the
sky from the horizon to the senlth.
From a balloon such a camera would
photograph the whole visible surface of
the earth out to the horizon on all sides.

his lordship followed her to Washing
ton. The wedding took place In April,
189.", one of the guests being Mrs. Cleve
land, of whom the bride was a close
l-rsonal friend.
The beautiful American girl was wel
comed to the most exclusive Inner cir
cles of English society and at once aet
herself the task cf mastering British
politics In order to be an aid to her
able and ambitious husband. In 18as
Ixird Curzon was made viceroy of In

larity as viceroy was largely attributed
to the good Judgment graclousness and
womanly worth of bis American wife.
Her court at Bombay, Calcutta, and
Simla was among the most magnificent
in the world and the Indian potentates
accepted her social sway as they would
that of the Empress of the'emplre. It
is no exaggeration to say that no En
