Thousands of Russians are Rising All Over the Empire. , Chicago, III., June 80. Cabling from St. Petersburg, the Chicago Daily News' correspondent saya: Nicholas has been decided in favor of peace in the Far Kast on account of the revolution in Poland. It haa been arranged with the kaiser that in case of i e volt in Poland, German troops will occupy Warsaw, and that thus the cut might continue to dispatch the Russian garrieiona in Poland to the front. The Poles, learning of this arrange ment, made preparations to declare their independence, with the support of the Prussian Polish provinces of Poeen and Silesia. This haa paralysed to a certain extent the kaiser's Moroc co scheme and compelled the csar promptly to consent to President Roose velt's proposals for peace.

For more than three and a halt hours Judge Bennett held the closest atten tion of all within hearing. When he closed at 3 :35 a blur of tears dimmed the eyes of the senator and many of his closest friends were much affected. The attorney's theme throughout was that Senator Mitchell was not guilty of any wrongdoing, and that the de fendant was the victim of a plot en gineered by some unnamed persons be hind the prosecution. It was a plot brought to a culmination by United States District Attorney Heney, whose chief aim in the prosecution, according to Mr. Bennett, was the glory of having convicted a United States senator. Skilfully counsel for the defense turned the construction that the prosecution had placed upon the letters between Senator Mitchell and his former law partner, Judge Tanner He pictured Tanner as a rat in a trap, who, when once caught, was a willing tool in the hands of Mr. Heney in order to save his own son from prosecution.

Hay at Bedside of Statesman Death Was Due to Pulmon ary Embolism. Newbury, New Hampshire, July 1. Secretary of State John Hay died at 12:25 this morning.

The Rassian government, although it haa been al most paralyzed by the terrible events at Odessa and the news that the sailors at Libsu have also mutinied, is making desperate and even frantic efforts to stamp out the flames of revolution be fore they can spread to the army, which ia now the last bulwark of the autoc racy. With Poland red with the spirit of revolt, the Caucasus already almost in a state of civil war, agrarian disorders spreading rapidly, the whole country profoundly stirred and the intelligent classes arrayed against the government, all conditions seem ripe for the long predicted revolution. The first act of the government after dispatching Admiral Kruger's squadron from Sebastopol was to summon the Kniaz Potemkine, whose mutineers have now been joined by the crews of the torpedo boats which accompanied it to Odessa, to surrender, under the threat of firing upon and sinking the vessel. This was followed by the dec laration of martial law at Odensa and Libau and the clothing of the military commanders with plenary powers. The newly formed council for imper ial defense met last night under the presidency of Grand Duke Nicholas, and was in session long after midnight. Beyond the fact that the temper ot the army was considered at length, nothing is known as to what occurred in the council or regarding the decis ions at which it arrived. Great fear is expressed that many regiments are honeycombed with sedi tion, and there ia grave doubt of their loyalty should they be called upon to fire on the revolutionists. Indeed the most startling stories involving the un reliability of the troops are being re peated in St. Petersburg, but the truth of many of them is more than questionable. Fast Train Goes Into Ditch. Cleveland, July 1. A faBt esatbound passenger train on the Cleveland-Pittsburg branch of the Pennsylvania road was derailed and wrecked near Atwa ter, O., today.
