MITCHELL EXCORIATES COLORADO EXECUTIVE Declares PcaI)oly Is Xeithcr a Republican Xor a Friend of the People in Any Sense. SHOULD BE REPUDIATED
DKNVKIt. Col.. April lQ.-John Mitchell, president .of the Unit-! Mino Workers of America, uddrced the session of the executive council of the American Federation of Lalor to-lay, devoting his entire speech to an arraignment of Governor I'eabody, of Colorado, for hi3 acts in relation to the existing strike In the southern Colorado coal fields. Ho repudiated the Governor as a Republic-art and challenged the oft-re-I fated ar-?rtion of the Governor that he had exhausted every. effort to bring about a settlement of the .strike by bringing the opposing forces together in Conference. He fa Id: I want to repudiate ns far .as I can the acts of the Governor of this State. If I have a fri-nd in Colorado, if there is trade unionists in this State, if there is a good citizen in Colorado who believes my judgment to be roh1, I say he should repudiate the acts of Governor Pe.ibody. Governor I'eabody has said in regard to our coal i-trike that he had advised the companies to treat with the men, and the. companies aid ihey would treat with their own employes and not with a committee dictated by John Mitchell. I say publicly that I offered last December to allow Governor I'eabody to appoint a committee of coal miners to tnv.t with the operators, lie has had the chance to nominate a committee cf miners and has not done so. "As an admirer and friend of President Kooevelt. and as a member of the Republican party. I say that the Republican party of Colorado should repudiate Governor I'eabody. I urth'r say that every Republican workman should work against him. I am usually- called a conservative labor loader in fact in this Western, country I am Faid to be too conservative. Yet to the most radical of you I announce myself ns Against any man who is against the people. I stand for the man who i.s a friend of the people. be ho Republican, Democrat or Sotialist. In conclusion 1 want to repeat, with emphasis, what I have said about Governor I'ealody. He is no friend of yours, no friend of government and no friend of law and order. I am against him." CASE OF ROBSKI IS GIVEN TO THE JURY Kb Agreement Reached After Several Hours' Deliberation, and the Court Is Adjourned. CHICAGO, April ID. The trial of Emil Roeski, associate of the car-barn bandits, Niedermeier, Van Dyne and Marx, for the murder of Otto Bauder last July, came to a close to-night and was given to the jury. The defense maintained that Roeski was innocent and attempted to show that a plot had been formed between Van Dyne and Marx to kill Roeski because he "knew too much' about their crimes. Marx went on the stand and swore that it was he that killed Bauder and that he and Van Dyne had Pent Roeski Into the saloon intending to follow and shoot him during the excitement In the raid on the place. In his address to the jury Assistant State's Attorney Olsen ridiculed the evidence of Marx ami asked for the death penalty for Roeski. At 11 o'clock to-night the jury had not reached an agreement and Judge Kersten iidjourne! court until to-morrow. Ohl to Have Cnmamptlon Ilospltnl. COLUMBUS. O.. April 1!.

When you next take tea, think of this. Tea contains 173 grains of Uric Acid in every pound. Meat contains only five to seven grains. Rheumatism Is Uric Acid in the blood. Uric Acid accumulates from food when the tligestive apparatus cannot create enough Alkaline elements (like soda) to neutralize it. This Acid collects urea, or worn-out waste matter, from the system. That Urea enters the blood when Alkaline . action has not previously dissolved it. By and by the waste matter reaches tho joints and muscles, through circulation of the blood. There it gradually deposits In solid particles, like granulated sugar. These solid particles grind between the Joints and muscles at every movement. This grinding causes irritation and pain. These in' turn may develop inflammation and swelling. That inflammation bestirs Nature to help herself. She proceeds to coat the hard Uric particles over with cushions of pulpy mucous, like the first healing strata of an outer eore. This pulpy covering grows to the bones, as well as to the particles deposited. There It hardens like plaster or sealing wax. Then we have "bony joint?." almost inflexible, and usually fixed in a bended position, from the rain and inflammation. That is Rheumatism at its worst. It is bad enough before it get3 that far. There is but one sure way of curing Hheumatisra. The first step is to neutralize the Uric Acid already in the system. Next, to dissolve and carry away the hard deposits that grind between the Joints. Then get the digestive apparatus into such healthy condition that it will, unaided, produce less Uric Acid, and more Alkallnes. This Is what doctors generally have failed to do. It is what 1 studied a lifetime to accomplish, and achieved only after many failures and thousands of experiments. At last I found, in Germany, a solvent which was not only effective, but absolutely fafe to use. Few agents powerful enough to be effective in Rheumatism are safe. My discovery, now called "Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure." acts directly, but Internally, upon Uric Acid in the joints and muscles. It dissolves end carries off the painful deposits, producing an immediate Alkaline condition of the blood, and neutralizing the Acid In it which would have fed the Rheumatism and extended the disease. It won't restore bony joints to flexibility, and it can t undo, in a week, the damige caused by years of rheumatic condition. But it will benefit every case, and it will entirely cure most cases of Rheuraat.'sm. So sure am I of this, that I will supply Dr. Snoop s Rheumatic Cure to any sick one who writes me for it, on a month's tr'a.1 at my risk. f. il succeed- the cost to him Is only l.5ü for the six-bottle treatment. If it fail, I bear the whole cost myself. And he alone shall be the Judge shall decide who shall pay. Surely you will not continue to suffer when you can thus get well, at my risk. I have written an important treatise on Bheumatlüin, telling of its relief and cure. It is free to Rheumatic people. Write me a post card for it to-day. AJdress-Dr. SIioop. Box 37 Racine, Wis. P. S.

" LOFF IS THE N E W HERO OHME RUSSIANS Vice Admiral Is Given an Ovation and Presented with Wonderworking Talismans. EMBRACES LITTLE GIRL ST. PETERSBURG, April 13.-Viee Admiral Skrydloff arrived here to-day on his way to the far East, w!here he will take command of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur. He received a popular demonstration, the scenes rivaling those witnessed at the time of General Kuropatkin's departure for the far East. The Xevsky Prospect was crowded from end to end and the depot was almost taken by assault. The admiral was accompanied by Lieutenant Shislo, whose brother was lost on board the Petropavlovsk and who begged for the privilege of taking his brother's place. Admiral Skrydloff married a Jewess and the number of prominent Hebrews among the crowd at tho station was especially noticeable. The vast Senamaenskl square, opposite the St. Nicholas Railroad station, was black with people and the police guarding the platform were quite unable to cope with the crowds which broke through the cordon and rushed towards the train. There were repeated outbreaks of enthusiastic cheers as the admiral left the car'and from the bareheaded throng a peasant stepped out and presented Skrydloff with a copy of a picture entitled "The holy virgin of joy to the afllicted." which is reputed to have a miraculous power. The peasant also presented the admiral with consecrated bread, telling Skrydloff that he saluted him In the name of the masses of the Russian people, all of whose hopes depended on him as the hero of the Russo-Turkish war. "The people are convinced, added the spokesman, that Admiral Skrydloff will justify the hopes of the Emperor and the fatherland and like the virgin whose picture has just been given him, will bring joy, and that soon, to a people now afflicted." The admiral, who was visibly affected. took the picture, declaring that he accepted it as a happy presage and adding that he would not part with the picture throughout the campaign and that he would put all his faith in God. A representative of the middle classes presented the admiral with a picture of St. Theodosius, the miracle worker of Czerniakoff. The admiral then entered a carriage and drove off, followed by deafening shouts of "Long live Skrydloff:" On arriving at his hotel a little girl presented the admiral with a bouquet, hailing Skrydloff as the "Supreme commander of my brothers, who are serving in the navy in the far East." "God help you," said the child, "in all your paths, and may heaven grant that good fortune attend you always during the war, for the glory of our dear country." The admiral embraced the girl and the action brought out salvos of cheers. Admiral Skrydloff:, addressing a deputation which called at his hotel, said: "It is well understood what Russia expects at this difiicult hour. The Emperor has confided to me a trying post. I am going to summon ail my strength and knowledge to servo the Emperor and my country. The enemy is redoubtable, but Russia is irresistible. I trust in God and Russia's might." To his friends Skrydloff has declared that his aim will be to conserve the fleet at Port Arthur as a menace to the enemy until it is reinforced. The Admiralty say3 the damage to the battleship Probieda are slight and soon will he repaired. It is now asserted that tho Probieda did not strike a mine, but was accidentally rammed during the confusion following the Petropavlovsk disaster. REORGANIZERS SEEM TO BE IN CONTROL Old-Line Democrats- Will Complete the Discomfiture of Hearst in West Virginia To-Day. CHARLESTON, W. Va., April 13.-The chaotic condition of affairs to-night would battle the most skillful politician to prophesy what action the Democratic state convention will take to-morrow. It appears, however, that the old-line Democrats ride in the saddle and that conservative action will dominate to-morrow's actions all along the line. . Mn' hl-time leaders who left the party in the Lryan campaign are here. Among these are ex-Senator Johnson X. Camden ex-Senator Henry G. Davis and a score of equal prominence. If the anti-IIeart forces win to-morrow both Camden and Davis will be on the "Big Four." and their colleagues very likely will be ex-Governor Mactorkle and Judge John II. Holt, of Huntington. The defeat of Hearst would not mean larker victory, for the conservative Dem ocrats are more inclined to Gorman and Olney than they are to the New York State man. It is evident Hearst strongly desires to capture West Virginia. His private" car "Dixie" arrived to-day from the Fast bearing Congressman Livernash, of CaliforniaSenator Newlands, of Nevada, and John Temnle Graves, of C. ,r ti.,.. . dressed a largely-attended mass meeting tonight in the interest of Hearst's candidacy.

Alexieff Applies to Czar to Be Relieved of Position, o f Viceroy
(COXCU'DKO FROM FIRST PAGK.) his division of the fleet, which segregated four armored cruisers at Vladivostok and stationed the Varia 5 and Korietz at Chemulpo. li is said that Vice Admiral Skrydloff in his Interview to-day let his Majesty understund that he does not care to assume command of the licet until Alexieff has withdrawn. Therefore, the two men will not meet at -Port Arthur. Viceroy Alexieff is expected to come directly to St. Petersburg and his friends hope that be will be elevated to the council of the empire. By his withdrawn! from the far Rast he will not only lose the dignified position of direct representative of the Lmperor. but the salary of $50,0 and an allowance of Sij.ooo per annum. When Alexieff severs his connection with i the far Eastern question none of the men responsible fxr the policy pursued berore the war will be in power, M. Bezobrazoff having already lost the confidence of his Majesty, and the advisory committee duties at present beins; purely perf uirciory. It is not expected that a successor to Viceroy Alexieff will be appointed, as the importance of the post of viceroy has disappeared owing to the result of the war. RUSSIAN VIEWS OP FAR EAST SITUATION ST. PETERSBURG, April I9.-No confirmation has been received here up to this hour of the reported arrival of a big fleet of Japanese transports in the gulf of ChiLi. Reports differ widely as to the destination of the fleet, Kiu-Chou, situated on the narrowest part of the Liao-Tung peninsula, above Tort Arthur, Kai-Chou, south of Nieu-Chwang, and Nieu-Chwang itself being mentioned by the various reports. An attempted landing at the head of the LiaoTung gulf has been anticipated for some time, but latterly the Russians have been inclined to believe that they have- so strengthened their position there that the Japanese have abandoned the idea of lauding more than a raiding party to cut the railroad to Port Arthur. It is considered possible that the Japanese may have decided that the time is opportune to land at Kin-Chou, with the object of cutting off and investing Port Arthur. The chances of effecting a landing in neutral Chinese territory on the coasts west of the Liao-Tung peninsula are now regarded as remote, as the Russians do not believe the Japanese will dare to risk arousing the Chinese, and thus bring down upon them the condemnation of the powers, whose good opinion they are striving to obtain. The fact is that the Russians seem greatly at sea as to the Japanese plans. In the best informed military quarters the correspondent of the Associated Press finds considerable skepticism in regard to the reported Japanese landing in Liao-Tung gulf and an inclination to think it has been too widely advertised to prove more than a ruse. If a heavy landing occurs now, except in Korea, the Russian authorities are more disposed to believe that it would be near Taku-Shan. Japanese transports are expected daily at the mouth of the Yalu river. The reports that there are 5,000 Cossacks in the neighborhood of Gensan are de nied. The Russian cavalry is scouting aiong tne east coast or Korea, but not so far down as Gensan. While there is almost constant skirmishing along the Yalu. the Russians do not anticipat? important land lighting for some time, not believing the Japaneso will seriously attempt crossing the river until their advance can be supported by two corps, which, their advices indicate, about represent the strength of the Mikado's soidieis in Korea. The general staff is of opinion that the Japanese rear must be protected and that a third corps must be landed and intrenched in a line across the peninsula before the real forward movement can begin. Lack of transportation facilities, according to the Russian advices, are delaying the Japanese. Both in Japan and Korea the roads are in a dreadful state. The Japanese horses are dying by the hundreds, it will be impossible to bring up regular field artillery and they will have to rely on mountain guns. General Kuropatkin's dispositions, the g-eneral staff says, are progressing rapidly and satisfactorty. The troops concentrating below Mukden are being sent to their allotted positions. About 30,0") are employed in guarding the railroad, but the number is considered sufficient. Thev are mainly on duty above the massive bridges and heavy cuts, etc., where serious damage couid be done by explosions. There is no necessity for a heavy guard along the ordinary roadbed, where damage could be repaired in a few hours. The Russians know the Japanese are making desperate efforts to cripple the road by blowing up bridges. A number of Japanese oiiicers have already been caught red-handed, but the Russians believe that the measures taken will prevent the possibility of such a catastrophe. STAKELBERG GIVEN COMMAND OF CORPS ST. PETERSBURG, April 19. It was claimed by the general staff to-day that General Kuropatkin now has SO0.000 men at the theater of war, sufficient for present requirements. A prominent officer of the staff informed tho correspondent of tho Associated Press that tho dispatch of troops to the far Enst has been suspended for the present. General Baron Stakelberg has been given command of the First East Siberian Corps, to which belong the advance forces, General Kashtalinsky being in command of the third division at the Y'alu river. General Stakelberg Is fifty-three years old. He fought during the Turkestan campaign and Russo-Turkish war and was a corps commander during the suppression of th Boxer uprising. He has never been wounded. Stakelberg succeeds General Vladimir Sakharoff, brother of the war minister. Sakharoff becomes General Kuropatkin's chief of staff. He is the only Russian general without a ribbon, although he has numerous honor decorations. It is positively asserted that the circumBaikal Railroad was connected a few days ago. Construction trains can now pass around the lake, but the line will not be opened to troop trains or passenger traffic for two months. Captain Reitzenstein, who commanded the Vladivostok naval squadron, has arrived at Port Arthur and has hoisted his pennant on board the cruiser Askold as commander of the cruiser division. lie is succeeded at Vladivostok by Captain Yen?in. The correspondent of the Associated Press Is unable to secure confirmation in regard to the rumored purchase by Russia of Vour American ships, although he was Informed that the sale nad been arranged through the agent of a well-known Philadelphia shipbuilding concern. There are mysterious rumors about the Vladivostok squadron, concerning which no information has been received for over ten days. SKIRMISHES ALONG THE YALU RIVER LI AO-YANG, April ID. A number of unimportant skirmishes are reported along the Y'alu river. Six Japanese soldiers were killed by Russian scouts on April 16. Firing was heard on April IS, but the result of the engagement is unknown. The outposts on the island of Y'alu, between Anju and Wiju, have been engaged in continual skirmishes for several days. Some Japanese are reported to have been killed. At night, when the Japanese retire, they disguise themselves in the straw cloaks of Koreans They are making bags with bark matting which they fill with earth and use in building their defensive works. JAPANESE IN FULL ' CONTROL OF KOREA SHANGHAI, April 19. Authentic advices from Seoul, dated the 12th inst., declare that the Japanese are in complete control of Korea, and that the Russian scouting parties have retired across the Yalu before the Japanese, who occupied Wiju practically without resistance. The Japanese army is divided Into two forces, one for expeditionary purposes and the other for occupation. The former, numbering 40000 s advancing toward the Yalu. and the latter, consisting of 15.000 reservists, are making far-sighted communication arrangements with the headauarters at Seoul
where there is a garrison of 6.C. The headquarters of the transpoit service is at Chemulpo. Railroad building and road-trading is rroresFing rapidly. The fortification of Kojedo inland at the mouth of JIasampo harbor, which protects the southern terminus of overland communication, also guards the passe to Vladivostok and Port Arthur through Broughtou strait. Forty transports off Haiju are supposed to have landed p.irt of their forces at Takushan. and it is the evident intention to disembark a second army at Yongampho, preparatory to forcing the Yalu.
SKRYDLOFF TELLS WHAT HE WILL DO PARIS. April ID. The Figaro to-day published an interview with Vice Admiral Skrydloff, v.-fio is now in St. Petersburg. The admiral is quoted ?s saying: "I believe in offensive tactics. It is necessary to pu.-h ahead and take the Initiative, instead of letting the eaemy keep us in a state of unrest. It is essential to keep him in a state of unrest. It is necessary to invite a combat and take chances. Any combatant who awaits his enemy is practically at his enemy's mercy. But aggressiveness does not mean imprudence, "wisdom must go with boldness, but it is evident that to be aggressive does not mean the same thing for the Russians as for the Japanese at Port Arthur, since the latter have more ships than the former." T the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Echo de Paris, who is an old acquaintance. Vice Admiral Skrydloff, said: "I shall make no sorties. I might add another glorious page to Japanese history by sending out my few ships to be sunk: but I shall not give them that pleasure. I intend to jealously preserve mv ships for a great occasion. I have put on mv visiting card both Port Arthur and Vladivostok, for you shall see the two squadrons united and going backward and forward between the two places." Vice Admiral Skrydloff intends to seek the blessing of Saint Sergius before starting for the far East. RUSSIANS HANG A ROYAL JAPANESE PARIS, April 2). The St Petersburg correspondent of the Pettit Parisien says that when it was asserted that one of the two Japanese caught in attempt to blow up the railroad near the Mongolian frontier was a member of the imperial familv instructions were asked from St. Petersburg. The reply, according to the correspondent, was "hang," and the order was promptly carried out. CHINESE JVANT TO ATTACK RUSSIANS SHANGHAI, April 19,-General Ma Yu Kun, commander of the Chinese army on the Manchurian border, reports that the Russian troops are moving west of the Liao river. He says it Is difficult to control his troops, as they are anxious to attack the Russians. Starvation nt Vladivostok. ST. PETERSBURG, April 19. The population of Vladivostok is in want of the most necessary kinds of provisions and in consequence of flooded rivers, which interrupt communication, it is impossible to furnish them supplies. There is also a scarcity of money. Many inhabitants, particularly the women and children, are leaving the city, abandoning their property, which they are unable to sell. Half of the houses in ladivostok are empty and the civilian population is already reduced to 5,000. o Ships Sold to It in. PHILADELPHIA, April 19.

GREAT BRITAIM IS III E HEED DE F Deficit for the Fiscal Year More than $27,000,000,- Estimate for Xext Year $ 1 9, 1 00,000. HIGHER DUTIES PROPOSED LONDON. April 19. The widespread interest in the presentation of the budget to-day was in evidence in the crowded state of the House of Commons. Long before the chancellor of the exchequer, Austen Chamberlain, rose to make his statement every part of the House, was filled. Joseph Chamberlain was present to hear his son, as was Mrs. Chamberlain. The former colonial secretary, whose first public appearance it was since his return from abroad, met with a great reception from the occupants of the ministerial benches, while the Nationalists invited him to sing "Rule Britannia," and greeted him with shouts of "pigtail." Austen Chamberlain opened his speech by expatiating on the difficulties of his position, the great wave of prosperity which Great Britain had enjoyed having apparently long spent its force and giving place to a less prosperous cycle. The industries of Great Britain, especially the cotton industry, were depressed and foreign competition was keener than ever. The markets in which Great Britain had heretofore been supreme were increasingly threatened. The commercial depresrion in the United Kingdom was aggravated by the conditions in South Africa. The revenue for TJ03-04 was 113.630,0-DO below the estimate, while the expenditure exceeded the estimate by $15,035,u). The repeal of the duty on wheat had been more costly than anticipated, without affording the consumer the relief expected. The net total deficit for the financial year was $27,075,000. Mr. Chamberlain estimated expenditures of 134-03 at $711,400,000 and the revenue, on the basis of the existing taxation, at $&)5,G00.O00, leaving a deficit of 1!),100,000 to be made up. He proposed, therefore, to increase the Income tax by 2 cents. He also proposed an additional tax of 4 cents a pound on tea. The chancellor further proposed a readjustment of the tobacco duties, imposing- a duty of 81 cents on tobacco stripped before Imported; also an additional duty of 12 cents on cigars and an additional 5 cents on foreign cigaiettes. Mr. Chamberlain proposed also to raise the moisture limit to 32 per cent., and to introduce three or four different rates in the drawbacks, which he hoped would Increase Great Britain's tobacco export trade, especially to the colonies. The net gain by these tobacc changes was estimated at 12.750,000. The increase in the tea duty will amount to $10,000,000, bringing the total estimated revenue up to $lOoO,000, or a surplus of $3,050,000. Mr. Chamberlain's announce ments of tne increase in tne income tax and in the tea duty were both receievd with loud protests. On the motion to increase the tea tax. the Liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, congratulated the chancllor of the exchequer on the lucidity of his speech. He said he had discharged a dif ficult task in a manner to command gen eral admiration, notwithstanding the fact that the chancellor' found himself in a somewhat incongruous position, between the position he held and his fiscal aspira Hons, which he did not conceal. In conclusion, the Liberal leader referred to the greatly increased expeditures of recent years and said it was the first duty of the House of Commons to check this ex travagance. The House, after considerable discussion. adopted the increased tea and tobacco du ties by majorities of seventy-two to nine ty-four, respectively.
