IjUSSIAN SAILORS SLAY OF-FICERS-AND SEIZE VESSEL. lalss the Red Flag of Revolution in the Unprotected Harbor of OdessaTown Fired Upon and Ships and Buildings Burned. The red flag of revolution was hoist ed at the masthead of the Knicz Potemkin, . Russia's most powerful battleship in the Black Sea, when the vessel steamed into Odessa harbor Wednesday in the hands of mutineers. The captain and most of the officers were murdered and thrown overboard in the open sea, and the ship was completely in the possession of the crew and a few minor officers who had thrown In their lot with the mutineers. The guns of Knlaz Potemkin were trained on the city, and in the streets masses of striking workmen who on the preceding day fled before the volleys of the troops, now inflamed by the spectacle of open revolt on board an imperial warship made a bold front against the military. A dispatch from Odessa on Thurs day said that all the shipping in the harbor was ablaze. The battleship Knlaz Potemkin, whose crew muti nied and killed the officers, was reported to have fired on the city. It was rumored that the men of four oth er battleships mutinied at Sevastopol. The mutiny was precipitated by the brutally inconsiderate treatment of the crow by the commander of the Potem kin. On all Russian vessels of war the captain buys rations for the crew. The government allows an adequate fund to mess the crew properly, but the mess being the captain's perquisite he usually serves bad food t the crew, pocketing the difference between Its cost and the generous sum the government allows him. The crew of the Potemkin had been victims of the captain's greed. Finally, driven to desperation, the crew held a meeting forward and ap pointed a delegation to lay their griev ances before the captain. The latter was furious and shot the spokesman from the forecastle delegation dead. Then, adding insult to injury, the captaln ordered the body tossed over board. The crew demanded his burial with full military honors. The captain scornfully refused the demand, whereupon the wrath of the sailors and marines burst out and the entire ship's complement of nearly 700 men mutinied and ran amuck. The sailors and marines rushed to the quarterdeck, where they shot and sabered the captain and all the commissioned officers. It is reported that out of all the officers enly one midshipman escaped. He was "pared in order that he might navigate the ship. The bodies of the officers were tossed overboard, then the imperial standard and the national flag were hauled down and the red flag of revolution run up. Following the example of the crew of the Fotemkin, the crew of the torpedo boat also mutinied, killed their officers and threw the bodies into the sea. The midshipman who was spared navigated the Potemkin to Odessa, finishing the sanguinary voyage from Se bastopol. The insurgent torpedo boat, with its decks cleared for action, ran into the harbor and seized the Russian collier Esperanza, with a cargo of 2,000 tons of coal, and took It alongside the bat tleship. At the same time an armed pinnace which had been launched by the battleship steamed to the quay, where it landed an open coffin con taining the body of a seaman to whose uniform a written paper had been attached. This paper stated that the man's name was Omiltchuk, and that he had been shot dead by the chief officer of the battleship for complaining about the bad quality of the soup served to the crew. It added that Omiltchuk had been murdered for telling the truth, and that the whole crew had avenged his death by killing the battleship's ofScers. The police, supported by the Cossacks, tried to disperse the crowd and remove the body, but the crowd surrounded the coffin and defied them to touch it. Some scuffling followed, but before there was a definite result the Kniaz Potemkin Tvritchesky hoisted signals that the body was to be left on the quay, and that it would be retaken on board later for burial at sundown with full naval honors. If the authorities interfered the insurgents on the battleship declared they would Immediately bombard the city. Meanwhile the battleship was rapidly coaling from the Esperanze. The Governor of Odessa telegraphed to St Petersburg and Sevastopol asking the authorities of the latter place to send the fleet The revolution in South Russia, it Is believed, vll force the Czar, to make a truce with Japan at once and bring the bulk of Line itch's army home to defend the empire. The revolution is now sweeping over a territory as large as that from New York to Chicago, to New Orleans, to Savannah and back to New York. Mrs. F.

BIRDSEYE VIEW OF ODESSA.

i A trap was set for the blackmailer, but la cladsd tha c?""

RUSSIAN THRONE SHAKING. Red Revolution Threatens the Empire of the Czar. Revolution is shaking the throne of Russia. All the Baltic ports are In revolt. Immense arsenals and naval depots arc almost within the grasp of the rebels. A gigantic conspiracy has been discovered in the navy to capture the naval depots at Libau and Reval and the arsenals at Kronstadt, the door to St. Petersburg. The bureaucrats are panic-stricken. Emperor Nicholas himself is alarmed. He has recognized the desperation in the situation by issuing a ukase declaring that civil war exists at Odessa and ordering that the people be crushed. Sebastopol displays signs of disaffection. If the garrison of that mighty Black Sea fortress espouses the cause of the revolution the government will be doomed, at least so far as southern Russia is concerned. The fortress is filled with vast stores of guns, ammunition and clothing, sufficient to fit out a rebel army. With Sebastopol as a base the revolutionists could soon secure control of every city in the Black Sea region, for it has long been known that none of those cities was firm in its loyalty to the Emperor and the ruling bureaucrats. On the contrary, all have been rife with sedition. Perhaps, however, the most alarming feature of the situation for the government lies in the naval plot in the Baltic. Hundreds of officers are said to be Involved in the conspiracy. Nobody can tell yet how extensive It is. At Kronstadt are the arsenals with stores of rifles, the arms and ammunition factories, and the cannon foundry. These factories and stores in the hands of skilled workmen would solve the problem of supplying a revolution with arms and munitions of war. Eight thousand imperial sailors, together with the workmen at the yards and docks of the naval port of Kronstadt, suddenly refused to work and practically a state of mutiny exists there. The revolt at Libau already is serious. The sailors revolted Wednesday night, on the pretext that the food served is not fit to eat They secured rifles and ammunition, wrecked their barracks, and attacked and looted houses. Then they attacked the ofü-

cers' quarters, firing shots through the windows. A detachment of troops, Including artillery, was ordered out, and it is reported that only after severe fighting were they able to repulse the mutineers, who, however, escaped with their arms. The mutineers, of whom there were 4,000 or more,- fled to a big forest, where they defied the soldirs. Cossacks and a regiment of infantry were sent against them Thursday. Not since the unsuccessful Insurrection In December, 1825, when a portion of the guard regiments joined in an attempt to set up a republic in Russia, ha3 the situation of the autocracy and the Romanoff dynasty been so serious as at present. Short Personals. Former Archduke Leopold has become a private in the Swiss army. Sir Alma-Tadema is to be paid 14,000 for his picture, "The Finding of Moses." The lord chief justice, of England was well known in his younger days as a boxer of note. King of the Cocos islands, near Sumatra, rules over the smallest province in the world. M. Sebillot has succeeded M. Deniker as president of the Anthropological Society of Paris. Ibsen, the Norwegian dramatist and poet, will write no more, it is said, although his mental and physical condition is practically perfect. Alfonso XIII. is said to have inherited his father's, remarkably steady eye and sure hand, and is now accounted one of the best shots in Spain. M. Jean Richepin, author of "Du Barry," was born in Medeah, Algeria, in 1849, and has, in his time, been a circus clown, sailor and a miner. George Leyron, a well-educated Parisian, earns a comfortable livelihood by figuring as the fourteenth guest at dinner parties, to help superstitious thirteen people out. Count von Eulenberg, marshal of the imperial German court, enjoys the distinction of having more orders and decorations on him than any other man in the world. He has seventy-five to his credit. J. N. Nowak, an Austrian meteorologist, claims to be able to forecast the weather by the means of a plant called "Abrus precatorius," discovered by him in Mexico years ago. lie declares that he will erect his first tveather stations in London and Vienna. Lord Grimthorpe's eccentricities are gossiped about by the London M. A. P., which says: "He hates new clothes and dislikes collars and ties, nis favorite hat is a Panama, which he cheerfully places under the pump and souses, then clapping it on his head. Emperor William has conferred th order of the Black Eagle on Prince Ar suwaga, who represented Japan at, the wedding of Prince Frederick and Duchess Cecilia. King Edward's father used to be refered to as "Albert the Good." A certain French writer declares that the present sovereign should be referred to as "Edward the Shrewd." Edward Hughes portrait of Queen Alexandra is considered the best ever painted. On completion her majesty carefully scrutinized it, and with the feminine viewpoint said: "I fear it flatters me, but that is how I would like to be recitiabered."

Business generally made an Increasingly satisfactory exhibit. Less Chicaga hindrance was felt in local deliveries, the distribution of leading commodities remained of large volume and new demands upon producers were well maintained. Iron and steel output exceeds all former tonnage records, finished woodwork and building material are in strong request, testifying to further activity in construction, and the shipments of staple merchandise reached an Increased aggregate. Weather Influences Induced wider dealings in the principal retail branches and the buying of wearing apparel, footwear, household and vacation needs surpassed that of a year ago. This improvement is also found in the interior stores. The result has been a rapid depletion of stocks and urgent demands upon jobbers for reassortments. Manufacturing moves steadily, firmness in prices and new commitments obtained furnishing a solid basis in the metal, wood and leather departments. Western railroad traffic again exceeds the tonnage carried a year ago and the local movement of grain ran close upon 8,000,000 bushels. Tho markets for grain were active in the futures and quotations were manipulated upward, but little change for the better appeared in the cash division. Receipts were 4,142,412 bushels, against 3,SS3,334 bushels for the corresponding week last year, and the shipments, 4.0S1.007 bushels, compared with 3,018,443 bushels. Provisions were in liberal supply and had an easier tendency on larger "packing. Receipts of live stock aggregated 2SS,822 head, against 271,727 a year ago. Shippers bought carefully and quotations declined. Compared with the closingi a week ago," prices advanced in wheat 6 cents per bushel, corn 1 cents and oats 1 cent, but receded in sheep 15 cents a hundredweight, hogs 72 cents, cattlo 5 cents, pork 12 cents per barrel and lard IVi cents. Failures reported In Chicago district number seventeen, against thirty last week and sixteen a year ago. Dun's Trade Review. Improvement, mirrored forth some weeks ago in the phrase "better feel Rev York. ing," has broadened and assumed more tangible form this week, stimulated by seasonable weather, resulting crop Improvement, better retail trade, improved reorder business and larger sales for fall account. AdVices are best from the great surplus producing regions of the West. Irregular weather conditions, largely due to heavy rains, color reports from Northwestern and lake sections. Crude Iron still sags, though finished products, particularly rails and structural materials, are in active demand. Bank clearings are, comparatively speaking, heavy, railway earnings are large, deposits In banks show large increases, commodities are apparently going Into consumption more readily, and building, as heretofore, is active, with resulting strength of prices. Money is easy and the tone of the securities markets is more cheerful. Failures are few and unimportant Indications, in fact, are that a corner has been turned, and that the future is viewed more optimistically than for three months past. Business failures for the week ending June 22 number 157, against 175 last week, 215 in the like week in 1904, 171 in 1903, 153 in 1902 and IDG In 1901. In Canada failures for the week number twenty-three; against twenty-four last week and twentythree in this week a year ago. Bradstreet's Commercial Report.
