News has reached England that the Russian auxiliary cruis er L'ruJ stopped and examined the Hrltlsh collier Peneanlck on August 12. The Pen calenlck. was bound from Cardiff for Malta coal tut the lirltish iiavy. An order wiui received at 9:.T0 last night from the Russian minister at Peking that the cruiser Askold and the torptdo boat de stroyer Groiovpl are to be disarmed. Yes terday wis a. day uf considerable anxiety In oflkial circles. First an order went forth thaf , the -vessels could remuln four days longer. Then negotiations were be gun for another four days. This request waa eagerly and persistently pressed by the Russian minister a,t Peking, but It was ab solutely refused by the Chinese govern ment. Thereupon-an order came to Shang hai to rush work on the vessels and go out to what seemed certain death next Sunday. The abjoct distress of the Askold's crew when this news was received was pitiable. From the first the officers and crew have urged disarmament, but the minister at Peking would not consider the suggestion. The dock managers yesterday putltled the Russian officials that the ..Askold's hull could not be repaired, by Sunday. More telegraphing to Peking followed and last night the, welcome order to dismantle was received by .the Russian admiral. Under the supervision" of the customs authorities representing China, the Askold and Grozo vol will go out of commission before Sun day and as soon as they are patched up they will take their places alongside the gunboat Mandjur, which was dismantled last March. Emperor Nicholas sent a mes sage to the crews of the. Askold and Grozo vol congratulating them for saving the ves sels and conveying words of hope. There Is .general satlsfa'tlon here over the out come of the matter. It Is' understood that tba Japanese fleet 'Will remain until the Russian vessels af completely disarmed. Kapect lllint 1n Blurm.

Feir'rsb'nrsr Is Not Bnrprlsed. r-T. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25.-2:10 p. m. The announcement that the Askold and Grpzovol had been disarmed at Shanghai came as no surprise here, since the responsi ble authorities decided a week ago, as stated In the Associated Press dispatches, to follow this course. Russia was only waiting for a definite agreement between China and Japan 'which would Insure the protection of the ships against a repeti tion of the Ryeshltelnt Incident at Che Foo. Afrtr the flags of the Askold and Grosovo! had been hauled down their guns were dismantled. Captain'. Reltsensteln officially reported the hauling down of the Russian flag lust night. , - The correspondent of the Associated Press learns that Captain Reltsensteln asked the admiralty to be allowed to take out his ship even In the face of the su perior Japanese ' force, but when the ad miralty ascertained the condition of the Askold and the time required for repairs, Its disarmament was erdered and the In cident considered closed: Russia has asked for the co-operation of Great Britain in getting orders to the S-rolenHk. This was g'adly agreed to and the British government . will try tor deliver the Instructions through ships from Cape Colony.

TTT1 iosierv Sixteenth and Dougtes Cfr RECORD IN TIME AND TRAVEL L. W. Wakeley Makes Six Thousand Mila with lew Breaks in Schedule. MORE THAN TEN MINUTES LATE ONLY ONCE General Passenger Agent of B. A M. Finds Pacific Coast States Pros perous and People En. thuslastlc. L. W. Wakeley, general passenger agent for the B. & M., has returned from a trip to the Pacific coast. Mr. Wakeley was gone three weeks and In that time traveled a distance of 0,000 miles. Only once in the entire tlma was he more than five or ten minutes late on any of the roads over which ho went. For some un avoidable resson on j train was half an hour late. This is regarded an excellent record for the trains of the rough lnter- mountaln country through which he trav eled. Mr. Wakeley found San Francisco decor ated for the Knights Templar and every where along the coast there seemed to be an atmosphere of expectancy In anticipa tion of the influx of visitors. . "While bUHlness on the coast Is not up to the standard there was no real lull ex cepting In the export trade," said Mr. Wakeley. "This is expected to revive as soon as the war In the far east Is over and steamship operations can be resumed with somo degree of safety. The fact that the coast Is In. close touch with the Orient, owing to the steamship traffic, creates par- ; tlcular interest In the situation In the far east and every move of the opposing forces Is closely watched for the natural feeling Is that the result must sooner or later have Its effect upon commercial relations j with the. .western hemisphere. Lents-Clark Exposition. "Portland Is wrapped up in the coming Lewis-Clark exposition and much headway has been made In the work. The plans are perhaps not so elaborate as those of the Omaha exposition, but the buildings are of elegant design and a number of them already are far advanced. The grounds, which are bordered by the Willamette river, already give an Idea of magnifi cence. The people- arc enthusiastic. The effect upon Oregon naturally will have permanent results, if all expectations are realized. Seattle was found extremely busy and progressive. There seem to be s perma nently established trade, between that city and the gold, fields of Alaska. Seattle peo ple seemed to be much Interested In the arrival of the Minnesota, the sister ship of the Dakota, which Is to form the nu cleus of the Asiatic steamship line which J. J. Hill has established. The Minneapo lis Is enroute from New York by way of the horn and as soon as It arrives will take its plnce In the steamship line be tween Seattle and the Orient.- It Is per haps the largest steamship of the kind afloat and President Hill's venture Is one of the chief topics of the hour, for natur ally the effect upon the commercial strength of the city by this enterprise does not lack appreciation. There Is a great deal of building and realty values are increasing. New streets are being opened In the heart of the city and other evidences of prosperity appear on every side. Extensive Forest Fires Hurt. "The northwest seems to be suffering from extensive forest fires In the Cascade mountains. The great fires have been rag ing for two weeks and thousands of dollars worth of damage has been done. A great black pall hangs over, western Washington and often It Is found necessary by the pas sengers of parsing trains to close the win dows owing to the smoke, which is carried for miles. At night tha scene Is magnifi cent and the spectator Is awed by the splendor of the flaming oceans of forest. Owing to the fact that the timber in that part of tiio country is largely spruce the trees are converted Into torches and burn rapidly. Only rain can save thla enormous waste of timber." Mr. Wakeley found the people on the coast In love with the country and enthu siastic over Its future. This patriotism he found dominant wherever he talked with coast people. Among the most progressive of the coast cities was Los Angeles. Never has the city seen more activity. Several business blocks are In course of construc tion In the heart of the town and rest dences are going up everywhere". Train service all through the west he found of the best and well adapted to the high class tourist trsvel that makes Its way to the coast every year.

PEOPLE SHOW SOME DISAPPOINTMENT Manifesto Is Rot as Broad as Was Eiperted, bnt wspapera Give Tralse to the Rnlr. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25.-The list of christening honors is very large, contain ing plentiful recognition of the army and all department of state, except the navy, which the honors are practically limited to the appointments of Admiral Jessen and Captain Dablch as Imperial aides-de-camp. The conferring of the high Order of St. Alexander Nevsky on Foreign Minister Lamsdorff and the Order of the Whlto Eagle on M. . Wltte, president of the coun cil of ministers, is regarded as significant and as Indicating the complete return to favor of the emperor's conservative coun selors. While there Is some popular disappoint ment with the emperor's manifesto because it was hardly as broad as expected, tho papers unite In praising It and In ex pressing good wishes for tho heir's health and happiness. They also publish special articles on the abolition of corporal punishment. The Novoe Vremya says that the peas ants were remitted arrearages of taxes to exceed i8,5O0,OO0, adding: Nobody Is forgotten. Provision Is made for soldiers' and sailors' orphans, the leg islating of unauthorized marriages, for amnesty, and even for the Finns, who are relieved of a quarter of their arrearages of taxation. The manifesto rewards the brave soldiers and sailors by abolishing corporal punishment In the service, and rewards the engineer officers of the navy by giving them substantlv rank.

PETERSBURG, Aug. 25.-Great UriiAin has formally called the attention of the Russian government to the renewed activity of the volunteer steamer smoiensa and has asked for expranatlons.

By the explosion of some dynamite caps and in the panic thut followed It three persons were Injured this afternoon at the Hawthorne race track. It Is supposed that the caps were thrown on the floor of the betting ring with the idi p. of creating a panic, during which tho casi boxes of the bookmakers might be robled. An attempt was made to rob one bookmaker, but it failed. The injured are: Franft Williams, left foot lacerated. Mitchell Bruno, right foot lacerated. A. M. JJcQIll, severe scalp wound and bruises. None of the injured is seriously hurt. The first explosion was caused by Wil liams, who, while walking through the east side of the ring, stepped on a cap. It exploded, tearing off his shoe and lacer ating his foot severely. He fell to the floor with a cry and instantly there was a shout that an Insane man was discharging lila revolver at random. -Immediately there was a wild panic and while the bookmakers, seizing their cash boxes, bent low in their booths the crowd rushed across to the south side of the ring in the effort to escape. Just as the thick of the throng reached this side of the ring somebody trod on another cap and the crowd tore back to the place where it had started on the first run. McGlll was knocked down during this rush and was trampled upon. A third explosion took place after the panic had been allayed. It occurred Just beneath a chair on which Bruno was sit ting, threw him to the floor and a portion of the cap striking his foot, tore it badly, While the excitement was at its highest a man made an effort to grab the cash box of a bookmuker doing business undor the name of the Chicago club. He was knocked , down by a clerk and ran away before he could be arrested. A search of the betting ling, made after the injured had been removed, revealed a number of cups lying about the floor. There is no clew to the Identity of the persons who placed them there. HYMENEAL Cortelyon-ltuaton. FAIRMONT, Neb.. Aug. 25.-(Spoclal.)

TEMPLAIVS AGAIN FLOOD BOIXD Trains Transferred to Southern Pu rine Tracks Delayed by Washout. AUU'Ol'EHUL'B, N. M., Aug. 28. After moving east 250 miles, to detour by wny of New Mexico, the westbound overland Santa Fe trains that were Htnlled In Ari zona for several days owing to washouts, have mot another obstruction at this end. During a heavy rain this afternoon a large washout occurred at Isleta, thirteen miles south of here on the El Paso branch of the Snnta Fe railroad. Five of the Arizona stormbound trains arrived at Albuquerque from Sellgman and Ash Fork this after noon. They were to go to California by way of Denilng on the Southern Pacific.

Cloudbursts and washouts in Tonapah and along the Ih.es of the Tonapah & Carson and Colorado railroads, are the most disastrous In the history of these districts. People at Tonapah and Goldflelds are on the verge of starvation. They ore being temporarily relieved by the rusl.lng in of supplies via Croon Springs, Silver and Can dolarla by wugon trains.

No lives have been lost. On the Tonapah road all of the tracks rebuilt after the last washout have been swept away and It will be a week at least before any traffic can be moved. At Wulker Lake, near Hawthorne, the track is under three feet of water for nearly four miles and the lake has risen above Its level from six to nine feet.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY The local Women's Christian 'lYinpcranoc union has undertaken a bit of missionary work among the clergymen, city and county officials and other prominent cltl lens by taking l.tW subscriptions to the New Voice, eleven copies of which are to be delivered to the nfnrementloned gentle men between this time and election. The proposition occasioned not a little discus sion In the union when It was proposed, some of the women objecting on the ground that the union had never allied Itself with any political party and so could not con sistently send out the organ of the pro hibition party. Others expressed them selves ns opposed to the methods of the prohibition party, but the majority were in favor of the plan and It carried. The Woman's club of San Antonio, Tex., has furnished a practical Illustration of what may be accomplished In the way of municipal housekeeping by the determina tion, energy and tact of a few women. Some of the conditions nt the city jail, the women decided, were not all that they might be, so they finally secured the ap pointment of an educated, cultured and tactful woman as police matron. The Jail, to quote from the women themselves, "had become a sort of resting place for llldoers. where they might take vacations at the expense of tho city nnd with very little dis comfort to themselves. Miss Hardy, the new matron, decided upon n plan whereby the city might nt least profit a little by Its enforced boarders nnd so set the stronger ones to work scrubbing and cleaning about tho city hall und hospital and the others to sewing, minding or doing odd Jobs In the hospital. All were required to keep themselves ami their quarters perfectly clean, nnd It was not long before the city Jail began to lose Its attraction for the delinquents anil the class that had for so long kept it full. All who were arrested paid their fines If possible, and tho others were careful to keep out of mischief that would return them to the care of the city. In the meantime the club women were doing their share to make Miss Hardy's means possible. As a supplementary work they have recently furnished a room at the Jail apart from' the cells, where friendless women, wayward girls or strangers stranded In the city may spend the night. The occupants of this room nre not ar rested nnd have to come before no one but the police matron. The plan has worked so admirably that the Dallas club women are contemplating adopting the Bume method. The local Women s Christian Temperance union has opened its work for the year. The first meeting was held Wednesday aft ernoon nt the Young Women's Christian as sociation rooms with the newly elected of ficers Installed, Mrs. George Tilden presid ing.
