THREATENING JEWS Black Hundred Causes Panic In Russian Cities. MISS STRONG HAND Oh THtPOFF Partial Law Thieatena Poland, Whera Condition ia Serious — Witte Completes Cabinet. 8t. Petersburg, Nov. 11.— Except in the kingdom of Poland, where the rapidly growing Nationalist movement and the state of tension among the pro letariat w ill soon bring about the de claration of a state of war, Russia seems, for the time being, at least, to be generally tranquil. Telegrams from interior points report the restoration of order in nearly all cities and towns, but in many cities, notably St. Peters burg and Moscow, the better classes of the population are greatly disturbed owing to the rumors of approaching at tacks by the “ Black Hundred,’ ’ com posed of the most ignorant types of the populace which, according to these ru mors, are scheduled to take place in St. Petersburg tonight and in Moscow to morrow. The apprehension in St. Petersburg has become so great that the prefect of police, who succeeded General Trepoff in command of the city police, has in structed his subordinates to take the fullest measures to crush any disorder in its incipiency, so as to disabuse the mindB of the “ loyalists” of the idea that the police would remain inactive. In such an emergency the strong band of General Trepoff is being missed, even by the factions which most execrated him. Count W itte’ s new cabinet may now be regarded as completed. Count Lamsdorff, minister of foreign affairs, and M. Manukhin, minister of justice, w ill retain their positions, leaving only the posts of ministers of the interior and education to be filled. Dmitri Shipoff, of Moscow, who was president of the first Zemstvo congress, h aB defi nitely declined to accept any position in the cabinet. M ASSAC R E S IN BESSARABIA. Mob Incited to Kill Jews by Lies of Government Officials. Odessa, Nov. 11. — Authentic ac- - counts received here from various points in Bessarabia show that the anti- Hebrew outbreaks there followed the same lines as at Odeasa, varying only in the number of victims. A t Kishineff the disturbances were preceded by inflammatory speeches by gendarmes and city officials near the governor’ s house, asserting that the Hebrews had attempted to take the life of the local bishop, and intended to loot the treasury. The mob thus in cited started the bloody work. Carry ing icons and portraits of the emperor, the mob proceeded to Alexaudrovskai, Pushkanskaia and Gostinkaia streets, devastating and pillaging unhindered. A mob at Ismail, Bessarabia, burned alive 11 Hebrews who had hidden in a hayrick. British Fleet is Preparing. London, Nov. 11.— It is stated in official circles here that an agreement has oeen arrived at among the powers concerning tbe naval demonstration against Turkey. A dispatch to a news agency from Gibraltar says that the At lantic fleet has been ordered to remain there pending further instructions. The vessels, the dispatches say, have kbeen expected to take on a full supply of coal, ammuniton and provisions, but that the objective of the fleet is unknown. Money Market Almost Bare New York, Nov. 11.— Money on call went to 15 per cent today, the highest rate for several years. Last Saturday’ s bank statement showed the surplus re- ' serve to be almost exhausted, and since then large sums have been sent from New York to the interior, leaving prac tically nothing to be lent in this mar ket. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was in New York today, and it was re ported he intended to deposit several m illion dollars of government funds with tbe banks to relieve the situation, but this report could not be confirmed. Irish Opposed to Alliance. New York, Nov. 11.— Sentiments in opposition to efforts to bring about an alliance between the United States and Great Britain were given expression to night at a meeting in Cooper Union under tbe auspices of the Irish assoria- , tion. Speakeis declared that the ar- 1 rival of the British squadron under command of Prince Louis of Battenberg was not for social courtesies, but was planned in the interest of an alliance between the two nations. Middy Di smitsed fo r Marrying. Annapolis, Md., Nov. 11. — Rolio Carlyle Palmer, of Charlotte, V t., has been dismissed from tbe Naval Acad emy for marrying while on leave this summer. He was 22 years old, and a member of the second class. V BLOW A T IRRIG ATIO N. Hitchcock Refuses to Approve Pro jects in the Northwest. Washington, Nov. IS.— Following close upon Secretary Taft’s refusal to recommend an appropriation for con tinuing the improvement of the mouth of the Columbia river comes Secretary Hitchcock’ s refusal to approve the Umatilla irrigation project in Oregon, and the Okanogan and Tietan projects, in Washington, all of which have been pronounced feasible by tbe reclamation engineers, and all of which were re cently submitted to Mr. Hitchcock for his approval. Lack of funds is given as his reason for turning down all three projects. Mr. Hitchcock finds that be has al lotted all the money in the reclamation fund and about $3,000,000 in excess. He concludes that it is time to check these allotments, and is determined to accumulate a surplus before more work is undertaken. He therefore intends to hold back on new projects until July 1, at which time, it is estimated, there will be a surplus on hand of about $3,- 000,000. Mr. Hitchcock finds nothing wrong with the engineering features of these projects, but he is entering upon a new policy of distributing money out of the reclamation fund, and his reform is put in force just at tbe time when Oregon and Washington were in line for recognition. Another thing that develops in con nection with the refusal to approve the Umatilla, Okanogan and Tietan projects is the determination of the secretary to hereafter confine allotments of reclama tion funds to 61 per cent of tne amount contributed by the various states and territories. It is unfortunate for Ore gon and Washington that this rule is adopted at this late day, but, if it be lived up to strictly, tbe secretary should at once expend $2,500,000 in Oregon and more than $1,500,000 in Washington. As a matter of fact, not a dollar of the reclamation fund has been expended on any irrigation work in Washington, and the only benefit Oregon seems likely to receive for some time is her share of the $1,000,000 which has been set aside for Klamath. OHIO IS DEMOCRATIC Working Majority of Legislature and Governor of State. HEARST CONTESTS IN NEW YORK Louisville Fusionists Will Fight Elec tion o f Democratic City O fficers and Members o f Legislature. Washington, Nov. 9.— The election of John M.

P h ila d elp h ia , Nov. 9. — Never in the history of Philadelphia elections have so many arrests been made as in the contest Tuesday which resulted in the defeat of tbe Republican organisa tion by the Reform City party. Scores of prisoners were arraigned yesterday before a magistrate, and nearly $00 1 who were arrested are under trail await ing hearings today. The majority are aensed of voting and attempting to vote illegally. ___________________ Copyright Treaty With Japan. Tokio, Nov. 9 — It is announced that a copyright convention between Japan and the United 8tatee has been satis factorily concluded, and is on the eve of being signed.

New York's Election Will Be Th or oughly Investigated, New York, Nov. 10. — The contest over the mayoralty election inaugur ated by W illiam Randolph Hearst, the Municipal Ownership candidate, devel oped interesting and spectacular feat ures today. Charges that several ballot boxes bad been stolen before the returns were re ported and that others were found un sealed were made during the day. The investigation of the election promisee to be tbe most thorough ever made in New York City. The police have not reported aay ballot boxes missing since the election, but there have been reports that un locked and unsealed ballot boxes have been found in out-of-the-way places. There was one report that ten men on the tugboat Robert W hite had picked up four ballot boxes floating in the North River early yesterday, and Mr. Mayer admitted having such informa tion. Evidence of gross carelessness in the care of election returns developed yes terday when the official envelope con taining the official returns and tally sheets for the 73d election district of the 35th assembly district was found in a baby carriage in the cellar of a house in The Bronx. How it got there no one in the bouse was able to ex plain. The tally sheet showed that 26 votes had been cast for Ivins, 99 for McClellan and 139 for Hearst. Both Mr. Jerome and Attorney General Mayer at once began an investigation Mr. Hearst announced today an ad ditional reward of $10,000 for evidence for the arrest, conviction and imprison ment of the first Tammany district leader to be convicted of frauds against the ballot in Tuesday’s election. This is in addition to the other rewards, ag gregating $17,000, for proof of crimes against the ballot and registration laws in the election. This makes the total of rewards he has offered $27,000. The first information came to Dis trict Attorney Jerome yesterday through a policeman, who walked into his office with a bunch of ballots, and said that he knew where more of the same kind were to be found, but that he had not dared to bring in all he had found until he had been assured of protection. He was sent back with a county detective, whom he escorted to a barber shop, where tbe ballot box was found. F LO A T IN G M INES A MENACE. Pleiades Barely Misses Destruction in China Sea. Victoria, B. C., Nov. 10. — The steamer Pleiades, which arrived today from Niu Chwang and Tientsin, had a narrow escape from destruction by a floating mine near Niu Chwang on Oc tober 8. Officers of the Pleiades re port that floating mines are now a great menace in the China sea, and several vessels have been lost to date as a re sult of them. The Hsieho was sunk a day before the Pleiades passed the mine. This steamer struck a mine when off the Shantung coast, near Wei Hai W ey. There were two foreign passengers, and both were among the survivors of 110 persons who were on board. Fifteen were drowned. The steamer Chinhua rescued 69 people Messrs. Manchau and Muir, engineers, who were residents of Shanghai, wera among the drowned. News was brought by the Pleiades that Admiral Nebogatoff, when inte. • viewed at Hong Kong, en route to Eu rope, stated he would not go tp Rnssia, but proposed instead to go to France, and subsequently to the United States. Wu Ting Fang, ex-Chinese minister to the United States, is reported to have lost his hearing permanently as a result of the bomb outrage at Pekin on the occasion of the departure of the Chinese commissioners to foreign countries. P ic k e t F e n c e D e v ic e . A simple effective plan for building a picket and wire fence without a ma chine Is suggested by G. C. Schneider, of A va. Mo. He says: A device which will answer tbe pur pose of a fence machine Is made as follows: Take pieces of 2x4 a foot or so long, bore two small holes near tbe end of each, put the wires through these boles and fasten to post where you wish to begin. Then stretch your wire and staple to post some distance ahead. leaving the staples loose enough so the wire will slip when It Is drawn tight. Let eight or ten feet of wire extend beyond the post and to those fasten heavy weights to keep the G ood O u tsid e P a in t . A substitute for white oil paint may be made as follows: Four quarts of skim milk, 1 pound o f fresh slacked lime, 12 ounces of linseed oil, 4 ounces of white Bergundy pitch, 6 pounds of Spanish white, to be mixed as follows: Tbe lime to be slacked lu an Iron ves sel In the open air by pouring water upon it a little at a time until It la dissolved Into a fine dry powder.

The cost o f the ensilage, Including the raising, which was estimated at $8 per acre, was a little high.
