SCENES AKD PEOPIE IN

WORK Or THE TERRORISTS. niot and AssasNlnntlon Continue In Unhappy Iluftnla. General Vouliarski, noting military governor-general of Warsaw, was shot and killed at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon while driving in a cab. The assassin escaped. General Yonliarski was the commander of the Fifth Army Corps, stationed at Warsaw. General Min, commander of the Seminovsky Guard Regiment and a personal adjutant In the suite of the Czar, was assassinated Sunday night at Peterhof by a young woman, who fired five shots into his body and then submitted to arrest. The capture of the girl was effected by General Mln's wife, who held her until the arrival of an officer. Any of the five wounds inflicted by the girl's bullets would have resulted fatally. This act of terrorism, following closely Saturday's unsuccessful attempt on the life of Tremier Stolypin, with Its sickening slaughter of thirty-two persons, together . with other developments of the day in the reign of violence, has caused the utmost alarm In official circles. . One of these developments was an attempt on the life of General Kaulbars, governor of Odessa. A girl dropped a bomb In the Nicholas boulevard fifty paces from the palace of the governor. There was a deafening detonation and a wild stampede of the promenaders. No one was injured except the girl, whose hand was shattered. It Is supposed that the bomb accidentally fell from her hand as she was making her way to the door of the palace. She and another girl and a university student who was accompanying them were arrested. ' The Increased activity of the "reds" has caused renewed talk of a military dictatorship. According to a report current a meeting of tfce camarilla discussed the question at Teterhof and a majority was In favor of such a step. Two other attempts had been made recently on the life of General Min, who was condemned to death by the terrorists immediately after the Moscow revolt last December on account of the stern repression practiced by a battalion under his command and especially for the wholesale execution of persons condemned by drumhead courtmartial for being caught with arms In their hands. President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor has begun his stumping tour in Maine against the re-election of Littlefield. Mr. Gompers charges Littlefield with being an enemy of organized labor. The resolution indorsing W. R. Hearst was rejected by the convention of union printers at Colorado Springs, but in its p'ace a resolution was adopted commending all legislators and editors who have exerted themselves An behalf of union labdr. The attitude of President Roosevelt toward State factional fights in the Republican party was raade plain again during the week by his approval of the course of federal officers at New York in not taking sides in the contest for the chairmanship cf the New York Republican committee. Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court, in a St. Louis interview, said that the next presidential election would be fought with Taft representing the Republicans and Bryan the Democrats. He paid high compliments tq the virtues of both men. lie thought that Bryan and Roosevelt had many qualities in common, both being earnest and fearless, and having the interests of the country at heart. Taft, he said, -sräs not so impulsive or decisive as the President, and would have less friction. President Dettrey of District 7, United Mine Workers', was nominated by the Socialist party of Luzerne County, Pa., after which he declined a nomination for the same office by the labor party. He anrounced that the salvation of thj wage earners was to be found in the Socialist party. The unusual spectacle of a Democratic convention frankly indorsing both Roosevelt and Bryan, the former for his Cghts on trusts and the latter as the next presidential candidate, was presented by the convention of the Twelfth Ohio Congress:onal District. The Nebraska Republican convention at Lincoln named Morris Brown, the State's 'Attorney General, for United States Senator, and State Senator George L. Sheldon for Governor. These, men stand for limitation of corporate powers. The platform demands direct primaries and tariff reform by Republicans only. Chairman Griggs of the congressional committee is following the lead of the Republicans by beginning a dollar subscription plan for the raising of a campaign fund. It Is to be advertised through the country Democratic press, and each paper will be asked to raise $20. The Republicans have added the endless chain feature to their plan. By an overwhelming majority the Democrats of Georgia have nominated Hoke Smith, who was Secretary of the Interior under Cleveland, for Governor. It appearer certain that he would carry over 100 of the 145 counties. His principal opponent was Clark Howell, editor of iho Atlanta Constitution,' who one year ago challenged him to the contest. During the campaign both candidates Indulged in bitter personalities. Smith charged Howell with representing the railroad ring, and Howell accused Smith of shady dealings, including the acceptances of favors from J. P. Morgan. Smith had never before been a candidate for office.

THE CUBAN REVOLUTION.

(KERBS? The Crops of 1006. In the aggregate cereal yield 100G will break all records. This is indicated by figures of condition and acreage just mad public by the Department of Agriculture. The corn crop will air.ount to 2,093,000,000 bushels, if present prospects hold out a few weeks longer. This will lack only 14,000,000 bushels of reaching the biggest figures of the past, the yield for 1905. But there is hope tV.at even the 1005 crop will be left behind. In no year except 1905 were the corn prospects so bright as they are at this moment. The wheat crop has passed all former records. It amounts to 759,000,000 bushels. The winter wheat crop is 492,000,000 bushels and the spring varitty is 207,000,000. The largest previous aggregate wheat yield was in 1901, when it was 748,000.000 bushels, or 11,000,000 below the 1900 total. As the preliminary figures of the Department of Agriculture, J like those just given out, are usually be low the aggregate which is found in the final round-up, there is an excellent chance that the indicated , 750,000,000 bushels for 1906 will turn out to be greater, than this when the returns are all in. Oats, rye, barley, buckwheat and potatoes' are also up to high figures in the estimate made by the Department of Agriculture. Hay shows 'a slight falling off in acreage, and probably in yield. But the grand aggregate of the country's great crops will be larger than in any former j-ear. This will be needed because the country is growing with great rapidity. Not far from 2,000,000 are being added to our population each year nowadays, with the immigration considerably above the 1,000,000 mark. Prices remain high, which means that the producers will get big returns for their crops. The farmer is the favored maa these days. The country is accumulating wealth at a rate beyond anything ever seen in the past. f St. Louis Globe-Democrat. DEATH RATE OF CITIES. St. Joseph, Mo., ttntl Chicago Make Excellent ShowJnjra. Chicago's claims as the most heahhiul of all the great cities of the country once more ' are confirmed through the official census reports. The complete report on mortality for the years 1900 to 1904 inclusive was issued the other day. Chicago's annual death rate average per thousand of population for the five-year period is much less than that of any oher city coming within the first class, while among cities of the second class only St. Paul, Minneapolis and Milwaukee present a lower average. Following are the averages for the five years for the principal

cities : Chicago 14.G Sr. Louis 1S.1 New York 10.6 Denver 10.2 Philadelphia ...1S.8 Washington ....20.9 Helton 1S.0 Milwaukee ia.3 IlufTalo 15.0 Detroit 15. Pittsburg 20.7 Minneapolis ....11.4 Cleveland l.l St. Taul .....'..10.5 Cincinnati 19.1 San Francisco. . .21.0

The smallest average death rate is shown by St. Joseph, Mo., it being only 7.G pe? 1,000 of population. ' Charleston, S. C.had the highest, 31.13. The other cities of the South show a particularly high death rate, as follows : Richmond, Ya. .25.7! Atlanta 22.3 New Orleans ... 23.1 j Jacksonville 2S.1 Memphis 10.:! Nashville .22.1 Nothing is said concerning the reason for the high mortality in the South. A Water Kite for Sounding. A Berlin scientific paper tells of a new device arranged by a Swedish scientist to reduce the danger of shallow water in navigation. It consists of a simple water kite, which Is fastened to a wire cable and cast over the side of the 6hip. By reason of the oblique pressure, the kite sinks rapidly as far as its cable permits. On the side of the winch a scale and register tells the .depths to; which the kite has descended. As soon as the kite comes in contact with any solid obstruction or shallow bottom, a coupling is released, which instantly slackens the tension of the cable by chang'Tig the position of the kite ; this sets in motion an alarm bell on deck, which attracts the attention of the watch. Brief News Items. S. E. McClintock, connected with the Standard Oil Company in Oakland, CaL, died of heart disease in a New York hotel. In the six months of this year ended June 30 the three naval training stations of the navy received 5,337 apprentice seamen. A statement of growth published by the University of Virginia shows that the teaching force has be?n more than doubled daring the past two years in the departments of medicine and engineering. The gunboat Nashville has been put out of commission at the Charlestown navy yard and placed in reserve under the newly adopted plans of the Navy Department. Archie Roosevelt, son of the President, has had his first experience in seafaring and likes it very much. With Captain Joshua Slocum he sailed in the sloop Spray from Oyster Bay to Newport, meeting some bad weather. Caught by a belt which he was trying to place on a pulley, Mathew Mack was seriously injured in a St. Louis manufacturing plant, being whirled around twice. Iiis lody struck an automatic sprinkler, putting it in action and calling out the firs department. Charles NickeH, newspaper publisher and former United States commissioner at Medford, Ore., was sentenced to thirteen months' imprisonment for public land frauds. Acting under an agreement reached betwten Superintendent Wheeler of the Boston and Montana smelter at Great Falls, Mont., and the Mill and Smelter Men's Union work has been resumed at the company's big reduction plant.

1 WELCOME TO BRYAN.

DEMOCRATIC LEADER RECEIVED ENTHUSIASTICALLY. Greeted vlh Noise ami Cordiality On Iletnrn from llitf 'Hon nd-t heWorld Tour 'v Vorli Hay Kefcnunri with I' p roar as Ship Lauds Xew York correspondence : William J. Bryan is home again. Bronzed by travel by laud and sea, cheerful, and apparently physically fit for a campaign two years long, he literally fell into the nrms of huzzahing hundreds of his fellow country men when the steamship Prinzess Irene entered the harbor of New York Wednesday afternoon. A band on one of the welcoming tugs played "Hands Across the Sea," whistles and sirens screeched and humans shouted. All this was preparatory to the big demonstration to take place at Madison Square Garden Thursday night, when thousands of Democrats from all over the country gathered to pay their homage to the great commoner. Clashes between rival welcoming committees, composed respectively of the New York "plan and scow' organization and the Nebraska "home folks," each of which was determined to take possession of the returning leader, were happily averted by the action of Mr. Bryan himself when the Prinzess Irene reached quarantine. Instead of choosing . between the yacht of his friend, Mr. Goltra of St Louis, with the local committee on board, and the government tug bearing .the people of his own State. Mr. Bryan elected to spend the night on land. The scene down the bay as the Prinzess Irene came to anchor in quarantine established a precedent as a celebration of the home-coming of a plain American citizen. The news lhat the steamer bearing Mr. Bryan had been sighted off Fire v Island just before noon, and that xhe would be at anchor for the formal medical inspection by 3 o'clock, was the signal for a wild rush of specially chartered boats and pleasure craft down the harbor. The lowering skies and frequent rain squalls served to keep many away, but those who were not deterred by 'the adverse weather conditions gave an enthusiastic spirit to the reception. The "Iiome folks'' were the most enthusiastic of all. On two big tugboats which journeyed down the bay side by side they went to welcome their distinguished neighbor. There was a broad smile on Mr. Bryan's face as be spied the foremost of the .Nebraska tugs, and a broader one wh?a he saw his old friend. Mayor "Jim" Dahliuau of Omaha, standing on the "niggorhead" of the tug, rope in hand, ready to hurl it about the head of Mr. 'Bryan If he refused to come peacefully aboard the craft. Mayor Dahlman. who was for years a, sheriff In Dawes County, Nebraska, when sheriff.' wore two revolvers and carried a cutlass and a "billy," but who had himself elected mayor cf Omaha on an "open town" platform, headed the delegation, but with him were many prominent men in Nebraska business and professional circles and othprs known throughout the State for their oratory and iolltieal record?. On spying Mayor Dahlman Mr. Bryan laughed heartily, shook his head at the coll of rope which the "cowboy" mayor held in his hand, and said : J I guess you're going to get me, Jim." "You're right we are. Will. We've come a long way and we won't leave without you." "You won't have to," replied Mr. Bryan. With tumultuous cheers the Nebraskans pulled up alongside the after gangway of the big steamer and called their greetings to Mr. Bryan, who stood on the deck just above them and smiled and waved his hat. Big boxes of flowers were tossed oil board for Mrs. Bryan. Then the Nebraska State flag was flnng to the breeze nnd the cheering was renewed.

PLAN TO CRUSH REBELS.

President Palm Say There Will Re No Paltering; frith Revolution. President Palma Monday gave out a statement at Havana in which he says that the insurrection h?s no ideals and no programe and that the eric which the insurgents raised do not constitute a program, ideals or justification for the movement. Fuithermore, ht de clared there would le no compromise with the rebels. TLs?y must be crushed onre for all, otherwise the trouble would break out anew. President Talma is not disposed to employ any other method than that of anus for the re-establishmcut of peace. He declared energetically that the Cu ban government wöuld absolutely never compromise with any form of disturbers of order. The government was leitimately constituted, was bound by its imperious duty and must demonstrate that it is stable and able to safeguard property, life and the happiness of the republic at present and in the, future. To compromise with the disturbers, now, he says, would result in further disturbance every few years. Suppress ing the insurgents now will forever guarantee the stability of the Cuban Institutions, while dickering with them would expose the country to another disturbance of the peace in the near future. According to the St Louis GlobeDemocrat's Washington correspondent, there Is a suspicious undercurrent of expressions relative to the situation in Cuba at both the state and war departments, that seems to Indicate the adminstration Is not blind to the possibilities of an Impending crisis In the republic. The attitude of the administration toward President Talma, is not unfriendly. He has been well disposed toward this country, and has tried personally to cultivate a close friendly relation with the United States, but cannot control his own party, which controls Cuban affairs, and which has done many things which have not tended to commend the Cuban rovernmeut to the present administrationThe sole warrant for Interfering with Cuban affairs is coitained in a provision of the Piatt amendment, which says we shall have the right to Interfere when It becomes apparent that Cuba is not maintaining a government which guarantees protection to life and property rights. There Is every sign that the United States Is new deliberately awaiting developments In Cuba. It will only Interfere whet a state closely approaching anarchy exists. When It does interfere, It Is believed in Washington, the correspondent asserts, it will mean the end of the Cuban republic. It has been pointed out that if, with the very excellent stait given the Cubans by this country, they prove themelves incapable of self-government, they have, indeed, demonstrated their unfitness to govern themselves at all. If the United States interferes to put down disorder and still anarchy, It Cannot decide upon the merits of the quarrel with the existing government It cau only substitute for the lack of order its own power and authority. It can do this with Its army and navy. When U does this under the authorization of the Flatt amendment it is believed it will constitute the first step In the direction of annexation, which can only come through an act of Congress. News from the somewhat uncertain shifting "front" Is meager, due in a measure to the government's determination that false reports from insurgent sources shall not be generally circulated. Failure of the government forces to take the offensive against the insurgent leader Guerra and that rebel's hesitancy In striking the promised blow encourage the hope that peace may be secured without great bloodshed. It is hinted In . some quarters that the Insurgents do not seriously contemplate the overthrow of the government and would be satisfied if by making a show of force tSiey could frighten or persuade President Palma to restore certain deposed Iilcrals to office and make concessions as to . the conduct of future elections. Claims and counter claims are frequent, but there is comparatively little actual fighting. At the palace In Havana little Is given out The enrollment of volunteers continues, horse are being requisitioned, and army nurs are being requisitioned, and army nurses are-being sent to the field. There Is talk of a thirty days' amnesty In which Insurgents who surrender their arms would be. pardoned, but If the government Intends such a move Its purpose Is not admitted. Ar matrons AttncUa Itadlnm Fad. Prof. Henry E. Armstrong, the distinguished London scientist, has joined Lord Kelvin in a protest aganist the proposition submitted to the British association that the production of helium from radium has established the fact of the evolution of one element Into others.
