LATEST FROM RUSSIA. REVOLUTIONARY PLOT DISCOVERED. JUST A Movement Unearthed Extending Over the Entire Empire for a Kepreaenta tlve Aasemltly Many Nobtcs Implicated and Sixty Arrested. An explanation of tho real reason the Russian government has been so active tn connection with tho Internal disturbances in tho empire has now come out. It was thought at first that the government action was duo to troubles arising from the scarc ity of food in many districts of Russia, as for some days past dispatches have been received depicting the terrible sufferings of tho Marrlne neasants. Many acts of lawlessness have been committed by men rendered desperate by the pangs of hunger, and the statement made that the marshals of nobility would be held to a strict ac countability for any political disturbances In their districts, Was taken to mean that starving neasants and small farmers were assuming a threatening attitude. Late dispatches, however, put all pccilatiou to flight. A short time ago It came to tho knowledge of the police that a conspiracy was under way. While secretly pursuing Investigations In St. Petersburg, the police found that tho conspirators In that city were only a part of a very numerous band, the headquarters of which was located in Moscow. They learned also that the con spirators had been very active in securing Adherents to their plan, and the conspiracy had ramifications which spread to all of the principal cities of the empire. Tho object of the conspiracy, unlike the majority of the plots discovered in Russia, Was not to kill the Czar, but was the organization of a movement having for its end the creation of a representative assembly an object which has liecn the dream of many years. Sixty members of tho nobility and of the upper and middle classes charged with complicity have been arrested. The stu dents of all the universities are under strict surveillance. The discovery of the plot and the arrest of many prominent sub jects has caused a decided sensation in Russia. Iloosler Tramps Are Hold. Tramps are overrunning Southern Indi ana. As the Big Four west bound pas senger train stopped at a small station near Danville five ugly looking tramps came out of the woods, entered the train and for a sliort time took possession of tho ladies' coach. They demanded money and were quickly given the amount asked for, and had the passengers tliouroghly frightened. After a stubborn fight the trainmen ejected the mob. Gold Under the Missouri. An assayer to whom was submitted a sample of gold ore found in lwreing under the Missouri River near Kansas City, certi fies that It would weigh out S12S of gold to tho ton, which is good ore. The gold Is In a peculiar place In the ground under tho river bed, and it would hardly be practic able to mine lu Geologists think it is the washings in from some gold liearlng region. A Four Mile I'acer. Joe Jefferson, by Thomas Jefferson, was driven by hi owner, A. L. Sardy, at Knox vllle, Iowa, against the worlTs four mile pacing record, 10:31J, which was lowered to 10:10. The former record was made by Longfellow at San Francisco In 1S01. Joe Jefferson's last mile was 2:-:J34. He now holds both tho world's three and four mile records. Troops Along tho Canadian florder. It is claimol that Information has been given by a high official in the War Depart ment that within the next few mouths the iwllcy of tho Secretary of War will lie to take troops from tho interior coast and strengthen tho posts along the Canadian border.

Knssia will construct a line of forts along the Chinese frontier and add to its officers In Central Asia. Agreed oa Arbitration. During the hearing of tho Behrlng Sea sealeries case In tho Supreme Court it came out for the first time that It had been agreed to submit tho controversy between the United States and England as to the seal fisheries to arbitration, and that the official announcement of the fact would soon bo mado. Jiew Yerk'a legislature in Doubt. The uncertainty as to the New York Legislature continues. Both parties assert their claims as loudly as ever, but nothing definite has been brought out by tho can vass yet. Tho llcrall's figures make tho Assembly a tie. but tho Republicans claim a majority, as do the Democrats. Radial and tho 1'apacy. Premier Rudlni of Italy has mado a long speech In which ho declares tho Pope is limited to the exercise of spiritual powers. The Pope is said to resent tho remarks and will prepare a sharp note in reply. Tho Italian newspapers, except the clerical or gans, arc upon Rudini's side The Sherman Statue. The Gen.

AUsastrous wreck occurred on tbe Illi nois Central near Medina, Tens. No. 3 passenger, southbound, collided with the northbound freight.

A very curious claim has been filed with the Assistant Attorney General for the adjudication of Indian depredation claims. It came from Alabama and is for a slave carried away by Indians in ifcC. The law 1 at that time recofulred slaves as property, andthelndlaa depredattott 1itbt that claimants may frccoVer tot property talced or destroyed. It will be a curious thing If the United States government. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, pays (or the loss of a slave. The case has not been ad judicated, and it will bo interesting to know what view ths Attorney General will t take of the matter. THEY B.ltSKD THE VIACh Chicago Follce Bring Aaarehlsto to Time with a Sharp Tara. An exciting scene occurred n Chicago when the police compelled a meeting of anarchists to raiso the American flag. Over 1,000 anarchists and sympathizers had gathered at tho West Twelfth street Turner Hall to commemorate the anniversary of the execution of Spies, Parsons ct hi. The speeches wero extremely strong and red emblems covered everything; The climax came during the Incendiary utterances of Hcnfy Wclsseman, the editor of a New York German trades paper. Inspector of Police Hubbard, accompanied by Lieut. Gibbons and a squad of officers In citizen's clothes, approached the stage. Hubbard ordered the American flag placed among the fiamlnz red banners which were" con spicuous everywhere. There was a pro found sensation in the motley audience and the police were hissed from all parts of tho hall. Mrs. Lucy Parsons shrieked out: "Hang tho murderers of my husband!" In a second pandemonium reigned, hundreds of excited men pushing forward, cursing the officers, and seemingly only wanting A nod front the leaders to precipitate a. bloody fight. Nevertheless, Inspector Hubbard unflinchingly ordered the suspension of tho meeting until his commands were obeyed. Through the din the half hundred polico could bo seen with their hands on their cluls and revolvers preparing for tho fight which seemed inevitable. It was fully ten minutes before order was restored. The American flag mcanwhllo had been reluct antly hoisted to Its place over the" stage, but the proceeding was only accomplished when the officers were found ready for ac tion and the cooler heads among the audi ence had time to exercise some Influence. The meeting had been taken completely by surprise, else a moro tragic result might have followed. This Incident took the life out of the meeting and tho remaining speeches were very brief. TItAiK KOmtlNG EASY. A Neat Job Done Between Chicago and Milwaukee. The midnight tralu from Chicago on tho Milwaukee & St. Paul road was rubbed by masked men near the Western Union junc tion, three miles south of Milwaukee. The fireman, Edward Averill, who was put ting some coal into the furnace, was star tled by a noise behind him. He turned around and discovered two masked men climbing over the engine tender. Both leveled their doublebarrellcd guns at the fireman and engineer McKay, with tho In junction: "Don't move an Inch until we tell you to or we will blow your heads off." Engineer IcKay was directed to run tho train to within a point of about one mile from the Western Union Junction. Here he was commanded to stop. Both men were ordered to step down and out of tho cab. They were marched to the express car under guard, and then the work of blowing open tho express car began. Sevc'ral bombs, tho fireman thinks they were, were thrown into the car, and the explosion was terrific and must have awakened every passenger on the train, but no one appeared on the scene. Several thousand dollars wero ob tained. Enormons Grain Snlpments. Tho grain shipments from Baltimore tlds winter will exceed those of any previous season in the history of the port. Seventy vessels have already been chartered for January and February to carry 350,000 bushels of grain, and it Is probable that as many more charters will be made during the next mouth covering shipments to all the leading ports in Europe. The big grain elevators of the Baltimore & Oldo Railroad will Ihj taxed to their utmost capacity to meet tho rush of grain from the west, and the railroad company has contracted for the construction of a largo number of new cars In addition to having all the old ones put Into condition for the grain traffic Knights or Labor Convention.

Tho delegates from the dif ferent parts' or the country complained bitterly of tbe unfair action by the Ameri can Federation of Labor towards the Knights. Want to Stir t'p Strife. Much Indignation is expressed at the State and Navy Departments at Washing ton at the conduct of certain English news paper in ascribing foolish sentiments and remarks to Minister Egan and Capt. Scldcy in connection with tho pending question be tween the Chilian and United States gov ernments. No one at Washington believes what the papers assert, and the opinion is held In the departments that tho English papers In question arc engaged in an effort to foment the growth of the feeling of ani inositj by tho Chilians against the people of the United States. A Navy for the Gulf. Meetings are being held in the cities of the United States along the Gulf for ttie purpose of organizing a branch of tbe Du pont Naval Veterans Association. A. L. Lowe.

He estimates that tho losses to pork-ralscra during tho past ten years, owing to tho pro hibition by foreign countries, aggregated over 526,000,000. Tho Inspcctaon of Im ported animals has been t Igldly maintained and the result has been to materially re duce the losses resulting from lack of ven tilating, overcrowding and weak fittings on vessels.

The Sale or Lands for Delinquent Taxes " Bevelops Syndicates. The 6alo of lands in tho various counties of South Dakota for delinquent taxes has been in progress for the past Week. Ill tho tort itofial days the pciv ally and interest bn delinquent taxes amounted to 30 per cent, per year. For the past two years or siuce tho Stato came into the Union, to aid the farmers who had experienced poor crops the Legisiatuie passed a law reducing the penalty and interest to 12 per cent., and at the last session of the Legislature the maximum rate was fixed at 15 per cent. This new law also changed tho manner Of bidding on lands for delinquent taxes. Instead Of having the bidders bid upon tho least portibn of a piece bf land they would accept for the delin quent tax, all tho farm lands in ono county are put up and the party who will bid the lowest rate of interest takes all the lands, provided tho maximum rate to be bid Is 15 per cent. If thero are no bids upon tho lands altogether then they are separated and put up in smaller quantities. . The town lots arc also disnnscd of in the same way. This new law does not seem to give general satisfaction, for the reason that it shuts out all small bidders. In most of tho counties where reports have been re ceived from It appears that some big syndicate, controlling Eastern money, has gono into the various counties and Did in all the farm lands at the maxi mum rate of 15 per cent. The South Dakota Alliance. The Bouth Dakota State Farmers' Alliance, in annual session at Huron, re-elected President Loucks.

Branded Stock as Strays. , The validity of the law relating to tnkfnir nn branded stock was tested in Justice Crawford's court at Spearfish the other day. Somo time in October a 2-ycar-old heifer belonging to David Marsh and bearing a recorded brand, was taVeu up and advertised as a stray by Joseph Irwin. Marsh sued out a writ of replevin to recover possession of his property, and sued for damage. Ir win defended by a claim of S20 or more for posting notices and feeding the heifer. The court held that under the law no person has the right to arrest an animal bearing a brand and advertise the same as a stray, and accordingly gave judgment against tho defendant for tbe sum of S10 and costs of suit. raid for His Talking. Jons IIolbokx, of Hecla, S. D., was rocently sued for slander by Mr. and Mrs. Perkins, of tho same place, dam ages being alleged in tho sum of 530,000.

Success rul Sate Crachlnc ttBt 1b the Heart of the City. Thf. gang of successful burglars which is making Omaha headquarters just now made three professional calls right in the heart of tbe city. Little booty was secured. Two of tho jobs wero con nected with safes on Douglas street. At the office of the Nebraska Clothing Company, which is on the second Hoor of tho building on the corner of Four teenth and Douglas, holes were drilled in the door of the safe, but the burglars wore evidently frightened away before they gained entrance. The safo con tained a considerable sum of money. Next door at Heard Otis' wall paper store the safe was open and S3.G5 taken. These stores are on the busiest street in Omaha. After nighs-fall cabs stand In front and messenger boys from the A. 1). T. office pass continually. The po lice patrol the street at ten-minute in tervals and the watchmen at live. This shows how bold tho robbers arc. Mc Card & Brady's wholesale grocery houso was entered and several barrels of sugar stolen. The police aro very reticent concerning the affair. Nebraska Corn Tor the World's Fair. The Nebraska Stato Hoard of Agri culture will hold its annual winter corn exhibit in Grant Memorial Hall, Lin coln, commencing on tho third Tuesday in January, 1892. It is the aim of the board to make this tho grandest corn exhibit ever hold in the United States, or anywhere else, for that matter. Tho year 1S01 has been an exceptionally favored corn season. For this, if for no other reason, the best specimens known oucht and can be presented; but for a creator reason the board desires this ex hibit to be collected and retained intact for the World's Columbian Fair at Chi cago. This announcement is issued early that ample time may be given for careful '.and thorough selections of the very best. An Election Clerk's Uig Salary, l F. Sciiweizkh, a clerk in West Lin coln precinct at the recent election, has presented a bill for 2,049.50 for his services. He bases his claim on the eight-hour law, which provides that extra compensation over eight hours is paid for per hour at double the rato paid the preceding hour. It is claimed that if this claim is allowed, before the law can lie changed the state will be thrown into bankruptcy if all other clerks and judges of election bring ty, such claims. Applying the Eight-Hour Law. Ax application of the eight-hour law little dreamed of by its framers is being made by clerks and judges of election at VnrniniT Vnmn nf them nro nilttinff in tUeir bjlj"s comptcd by the doubling up method, and they amount to as much as S200 anicce. There seems to be no rea son why it cannot bo collected. Robbed a Missionary Meeting. As Omaha lady had her pocket picked at a missionary meeting. It is thought to be the work of a kleptomaniac. One lady has been singled out and tho church authorities will undertake to unravel the mystery. Butte City a County Seat. Butte CiTY.has been declared by the canvassing board to be the permanent county seat of Boyd County. The voto stood: Butte City, 531; Spencer, 372; Farmer City, 38. Prospects or a Kallroad. The citizens of Brewster and Dun ning, in Blaine County, are congratulat ing themselves over the prospect of se curing another railroad. Str-eU Coal at Hay Creek. A laege coal vein has been struck at Hay Creek, at the foot of the Bear Lodge Mountains, and It is probable that work will begin at once on that mine. Proposition to Annex Defeated.

Judge Conrad, of tho District Court at Des Moines, listened to arguments in the case of the application of J. A. Har vey, of the Iowa State Temperance Alliance, for a writ of mandamus to compel the Secretary of State to certify to him a certified copy of the constitu tion of Iowa, and particularly tho con stitutional amendment relating to the prohibitory law. At tho time of Mr. Harvey's application Secretary McFar land refused to certify to the constitu tional amendment on the ground that tho Supreme Court had decided that the amendment was unconstitutional. In his opinion Judgo Conrad sus tained tho Secretary of State, holding that in view of the Supreme Court's rul ing the Secretary could not be com pelled to certify to the constitutional amendment. A notice of appeal was given, and an effort will be made to carry the case into the Supreme Court. Whether or not the Supreme Court will reopen the case is a question that will be watched with great interest by tho temperance societies. Judge Conrad's ruling was what was expected and gives those interested in the case the neces sary opportunity to again get th ques tion before the highest tribunal of the State. Cumberland Pleads Guilty. Another chapter has been closed In the Cumberland-Robertson murder trial. When the court opened at Harlan, J.K. Cumberland, the murderer, was ar raigned, and to the surprise of many ho entered a plea of guilty. In the fall of 1893 Cumberland killed James and Jas per liobertson, father and son. two worthy citizens of I! rlan. He buried tho bodies in the : r bank and soon- after left the country. The Robertsons were missed and Cumberland wa3 sus pected of their murder. Sheriff Rain bow traced him to Springfield, Mo., where he was captured last April and brought to Harlan about six weeks go. The members of the Grand Jury searched his cell and found on his per son a written detail of the crime, and from the paper a day or two afterwards located the graves of the Robertsons. The crime was an unusually revolting one and Cumberland's plea of guilty ex cited no sympathy. It is generally ex pected that Cumberland will be sen tenced to expiate his crime on the gallows. i A Smaek'or tha irrentier.
