An Odessa dispatch to the Standard this morning, reports that a conference of Siberian merchants and traders was recently held at Tomsk, Si beria, with the object of developing Russian commerce with China. The meeting ar rived at unsatisfactory conclusions, the hulk of the evidence adduced proving that In the existing circumstances it is prac tically impossible for Russian products and manufacturers to compete successfully in China against those of western Europe and the United States. The administration of the Siberian rail road has declared It Impossible without a rulnoua loss of revenue, to greatly reduce the freight rates. It la reported from Askhabud, capital of Russian Trans-Caspian territory, that 2.000, 000 acres of cotton, wheat, barley and vege tables In that district have been destroyed by locusts.

The transfer of the property of the Armenian church at Shusha to the Russian authorities acco'rding to the Imperial decree issued June 25, has been attended by con flict between Armenians and Cossacks. Excited Armenians made a demonstration In front of the residence of the governor and stoned a detachment of Cossacks who attempted to disperse them. Shots from the crowd and from persons on the balconies and roofs of houses In the neighborhood were answered by volleys from the Cossacks. According to the omcial accounts, two Cossacks and one rioter were killed, but the Armenians, In the darkness, carried off a number of wounded persons. Similar rioting on the part of the Armenians occurred recently near Elizabeth Pol and at Baku and Kara.

Plus X, on receiving the abbott of the celebrated monastery of Monte Casstni, la Campania, said: "We Khali soon meet, most reverend father, at Mont Caaalnl." Then, noting the effect that hla words pro ducedthe Impression that his holiness would some day leave the Vatican p e el nets he added: "Pray, for all things are obtained by prayer." The pope is also said to have told the abbott of the Benedictine monastery at Cava Dei Tirenne, that he himself would Inaugurate the Jubilee of the Immaculate Conception. Vatican at the Fair. ROME. Sept. 28. The negotiation for the participation of the Vatican lit the St. Louis exposition are proceeding satisfac torily. It is considered preferable that the Holy See shall send as Its representative an Important cardinal of the curia. The chief difficulty Is that the traditions and etiquette of the Vatican are against send ing cardinals, except as de'egates, to foreign countries and they are never sent to ex positions or fairs. The difficulty will prob ably be overcome by sending a cardinal to America in connection with church affairs and he will afterward proceed to St. Louis, thus paying to the United States the papacy's highest tribute.

COTTON SHORTS ARE PINCHED Foreed to Pay IHsk Pricea la Order to Cover Their Coatrarta. NEW YORK, Bept. 28-There waa a wild rush of September shorts to rover In the cotton market this morning and the price for that delivery roee and fell in a manner that recalled the earlier days of the bull campaign. Closing on Saturday at 11.13 cents, it opened this morning at ll.U cents. Then it was forced up Ave and tea points until 12:06 cents waa readied, a net gain of about a rent a pound, or nearly 50) on a trading contract f 100 bales. At this level the demand, subsided somewhat and reacted to 11-05 cants, the decline being almost aa rapid and sensational aa the up ward movement. It waa notice day for September, and. while notices of considerable cotton were Issued, they were reported to be promptly stopped by a broker representing the New Orleans bull crowd, and they evidently felt aura of covering the entire outstanding IftuuX lalareaU FEVER OF SELLING EXISTS Diffiou.lt to Trace to the Source the Cause of Liquidation. ssBBBBBae AS A RESULT DEALERS ARE DISQUIET Supply of Money Raid 1 Be Ade quate, but Holders Are 'Waiting to Bee What Will Happen. NEW YORK, Sept. 28 Wall street spent another gloomy day which was devoted mostly to trying to pusxle out where the unending stream of liquidation came from and what caused It. Information on the subject waa extremely hard to get. It Is pointed out that the great banks and cap italists were not heard of In warning last year during the high range of prices, while they were seeking a prolltable market for their holdings at that level. From this It Is Inferred that-the buyers of a class which decides market movements would not be heard inciting others to buy it they were themselves selling securities on such terms In the present market. There 1m, In fact, rather a notable lack of public quotations of authorities pointing to tho cheapness of stocks which has been heard from time to time during the course of the long decline, and at the price levels considerably above the present. But It is equally true that men peeking a market to realize ready money at forced sale of securities are not likely to miss any means of concealing their transactions. Source of Selling; Orders Inknorvn. The source ot selling order in the pres ent market is a baffling mystery and Infer ences usually drawn from the personality of the brokers employed are almost In variably at fault. Tho conditions which prompt the liquidation and the probable limits of Its extent are consequently the subject of grave disquiet and apprehen sion.. It waa the failure of stock Jobbing oper ations that brought the early selling, and losses reported were almost wholly on paper, as the previous gains had been. But later episodes represent the failure of enterprises In which extensive capital has been embarked at demonstrably unproduc tive employment. Capital thus sunk is capital lost. Comptroller Ridgley's opinion expressed before the 1 Maryland and Washington bankers that a "large percentage of the loaning power has gone Into unproductive Interests" formulates the dread of Wail street over the present situation. I The present condition in the Iron and steel Industries, the high Interest rates, especially on mercantile paper and the curtailment of production In other lines, caused the fear that overextension has spread to Industrial and commercial lines, representing additional "unproductive In terests," to be followed by liquidation and contraction.1 The present course of the banks Is di rected toward conserving commercial credits and to thU end they are Inex orable to all promotions and financing pro jects. The miscarriage of the projects is still the cause of moot of tho liquidation. While the great majority of Wall street's prominent men showed a decided disin clination to talk for publication, inquiry among the very highest financial Interests elicited statements that nothing of a se rious or untoward character is appre hended. Opinion of Jacob H. Sell Iff. Jacob H. Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., commenting upon the stock market and financial conditions, said: It is simply a fever which must run Its course. Just as we had a buying fever two years ago and even last year. So the selling fever has now taken hold of thu people and reason counts for nothing. No mutter what may be said a to the causes which have brought about the pres ent situation, prevailing conditions through out tne country uo not justiry the ex isting great decline in substantial securi ties. The time will come when people will wonder how conditions such us we see now could have existed. . it does not rpptar likely that the much feared money stringency will materialize. In fact, money la abundant now. only those who control the supply are afraid In tha vncertaln state of affairs to part with It. The consequence is that we huve a super abundant supply of money on dally call, while time money cannot be had in large amounts. But this will change, especially as it Is almost certain that with the Inability of corporations to finance their requirements, general business throughout the country, must, after a time, fall off, and when that moment arrives we shall have a "laige amount of funds seeking employment. These surplus funds will to some extent determine tho value of our. for ordinary purposes, superabundant volu.ne of cur rency and we shall again witness an In creased demand for securities. So that it is not at all unlikely, though this may seem paradoxical, that when railroad earn ings begin to decrease because of reduced general business the value of railroad se curities will begin to again increase. Carnegie on Easy Street. LONDON, Bept. 28 The renewed heavy realization chiefly in the best Investment securities caused a demoralization on the stock market today, almost amounting to a panic.

Drtggs of Brooklyn and Georg? F. Miller. New York agent of the Brandt Dent Automatic Cashier company, charg ing them with participation in the postal frauds, was upheld in a decision handed down today by Judge Thomas In the United States district court in Brooklyn. Driggs was chaiged with receiving money, while a congressman, for furthering the Interests of the Automatic Cashier com pany and Miller was accused of paying money to corrupt a congressman. De murrer was Interposed In behalf of Mr. Driggs on the ground that the facts set forth In the Indictment were Insufficient to constitute a crime, that the case as alleged was barred by the statute of limi tations and that the sections under which the Indictment was found was unconsti tutional. Judge Thotmis holds that the al leged crime was committed while IriRgs was a congressman and that bo far as the statute of limitations was concerned the alleged payments were all made within thrt-e years before the Indictment was found. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept 28. At the con tinuation of the examination of James W. Krwin, the poutul examiner, today, he was again put on the stand by United States Attorney Wondworth. In an attempt to show that the Postal Device and In dicator company has a monopoly. He said that the field of sale of the device was small, though the New Zealand officials had asked for estimates for a supply. Several othr witnesses testified regard ing the value of tho ptsent controlled by the company. Arguments were then begun, Erwln's attorney claiming that lie was not charged wtih committing an offense as an officer of the government, Machen being the only one thus charged. The attorney argued that Erwin and Beavers had bees removed from office by an indictment under which they could not be tried. When the fact that Krwlu did not handle the stock of the Postal Device and In dicator company was brought up by hie attorney. Commissioner Heacuck said that according to evidence shown, it was Su perintendent Richardson, who gave the stock to government Officials to secure their services. At the conclusion of the argument Com missioner lit acock took the case under advisement. DENVER REPUBLICANS SPLIT Conteatlna; Delegation, Fighting OTer Former Senator Wolcott, Will Co to State Convention. DENVER. Sept. 28. The republican state convention to select a member of the su preme court to succeed Presiding Justice John Campbell, whoso term expires, will meet here tomorrow. Today two conven tions of tho city and countyof Denver were held and contesting delegations will ask for recognition by the state convention tomorrow. There ta said to be; a strong likelihood that nelt'ief will bo seated, and that Denver will "be tf. . presented. The split In Denver" Is not due to ad herence to opposing candidates, as there now seems little doubt that Judge Campbell will be chosen to succeed himself, but the question of whether or not party leader ship shall rest with former Senator Edward O. Wolcott. There were many charges of fraud In the- primary elections Batunlay, not less than seventy-nine of the 204 pre cincts sending contesting delegation! to their county convention where Wolcott delegates were declared elected. As a consequence the antl-Woleott delegates de clined to attend the convention called at the Tabor opera house, but organized an other convention at Coliseum hall.

Justice Anderson of the supreme court of he District of Columbia today rendered a decision In the injunction proceeding of the Delaware Indians against Secretary Hitchcock and the Dawes Indian commission, dissolving the temporary injunction granted. The case Involved the right of the secretary to pass on the 170,000 acres of land in the Chrokeen Nation segregated for the use of the Delaware Indians. The Indiana claimed that the secretary ia without au thority to fcpprovo. or disapprove of the segregation, as it had been approved by the Indians Interested, and asked that he tie enjoined against taking such action, landing the adjudication ot the question by the court of claims. Soon after the rase was filed the court granted a temporary Injunction, but Judge Anderson today dis solved it. In this petition they make some sensa tional statements.. One of these accusa tions is to the effect that members of the Dawes commission are Interested In oil leases nnd companies holding leases made upon their lands by Cherokeea claiming title, mentioning the members of the com mission by name. The petition alleges that: , Notwithstanding the lands have been properly segregated the Dawes commis sion uiregaraing their omcial duties aa agents of the United States toward your petitioners have conspired and confeder atcd, and are conspiring and confederating logemer wnn me shio companies to cneat and defraud your petitioners, to gain pos session of their lands, or for tnelr said companies, under pretense of allotlng said lands, in their official capacity as said Dawes commission, to divert persona who are willing to enter Into contract or lease or sale, and have thus wrongfully allowed segregation as hereinbefore referred to. and continue to allow filings to be made upon parts of the lands or your petitioners, so segregated as aforesaid, and over which said commission has ceased legally to have any further Jurisdiction v or control, but has wrongfully assuming the same and said commission and the members thereof have wrongfully, after said segregation was made, allowed more than 100 per sons to so me. The secretary of the interior ia charged with unlawful acts to defraud the Indians such as that of encouraging white men who have married squaws to make claim to Delaware lands.

The matter, after being discussed, was referred to the cam paign committee with power to act It is probable that the club will arrange for holding meetings in connection with the different ward clubs, and also for one monster masa meeting after the republican county convention, at which the leaders of the factions heretofore existing In the re publican party will bo called on to make speeches. The editorial paragraph in Tha Bea reading: "The machine has been thrown Into the scrap pile and tho antl-machlno has been sent to the machine shop for re pairs," was referred to and endorsed as expressing In brief the sentiments of the club and the obituary ot the party fac tions. This resolution waa unanimously adopted: Whereas.

President Foster urged that as many new members as possible be secured and that every member from this time until tho polls close, be an active worker for re publican harmony and success. J. E. Van Glider and John W. llattin spoke along "harmony" lines. Frank Crawford declared that what would do more than anything eUte to promote per manent harmony would be the election of the entire republican ticket by an even majority, showing that the republicans had stopped bolting Individual candidates. HASCALL AND TWO MORE GO Former Members and Pair from Pres ent Coanell Will Attend Balti more Meeting. Former Councilman Isaac S. Huscall will go to Baltimore with hla expenses paid as a delegate to the League of American Muni cipalities, in order that he may execute the duties of a member of the executive com mittee, and read a paper on "The Vital Points in Municipal Government." This the council decided upon yesterday afternoon: also to send two members of the present council along with the former official, each to have the authority to spend not to ex ceed $100 of the city's money in seeing the sights and imbibing experience. It haa not boen nettled which councllmen are to go, aa they ell express a coy reluctance to get so far away from dear old Omaha, Neb. The council also directed Building In spector Wlthnell to erect a reviewing stand In front of the city hall, for the Ak-Sar-Ben parades, and had its attention called to the fact that the IS.fflO emergency appropriation for repairs to unpaved streets would be ex hausted last night. The sum of J 1.000 more was requested by the engineering depart ment on the strength of the fact that many washouts remain to be filled. Then the council went into executive coinmittea session to wrestle with the prob lem of how it shall continue to guy Con tractor John Grant for mending hole in the asphalt paving downtown. The protest of the claims by the Barber Asphalt com pany has Injected a disturbing element Into the affair. Moveaieata of Oeean Vessels Sept.

' ' Tonight tha situation In the Canadian Boo, which has been the aoena of rioting by the discharged employes of the lAke Su perior company all day, la very grave No reinforcements of militia have arrived from outside and the only defense against the mob, which grows every hour, Is a more or less demoralised police force and a small company of militiamen. An as sault upon tho offline building by the mob early this afternoon before the arrival on the ground of troops was successful and a mass or frenzied rioters secured pos session ot the ground floor, destroying everything movable that came in their path. A crowd ot the office staff with drawn revolvers prevented their gaining access to the upper floors of tho building. Every window and door In the building Is smashed in. The arrival of troops on the ground, armed with ball cartridges, about 2 o'clock restored some eemblnnce of order. The rioters then contented them selves with throwing atones at the win dows nnd threatening the soldiers, who prevented any approach toward the build ings. The greater number of the mob are Ig norant Italians, Finns, Norwegians and Frenchmen, the latter, perhaps, the hard est of all to handle. All have been drink ing more or less, although the bars this evening obeyed the order to close up. Tho mob Is one that cannot bo reasoned with nnd the man they'seem most anxious to get at is Mr. Coyne, the assistant man ager, who in the absence of Mr, Shields, Is in charge of the works. Mr. Coyne has discreetly kept out of sight all day. Company Supplies m House. Late this aftomoon t.e leader of the mob held a conference and demanded that the company house the men In their hotel and hoarding house and feed them until the money for their wages la forthcoming. In order to appease tho men thia demand was granted and tho men have taken possession of the White house, a large boarding house operated by tha company. Provisions are being sent there and the men prtxseded' to hold a monster was meeting at thin place. As the leaders are making the most Inflammable" apeeohes grave fears are entertained for tha out come, after this meeting adjourns. An attempt Is being made to etart the -street car system In the Canadian 8oo, which suspended operations this morning, after an attack had been made on It. Inasmuch aa most of the rioters were not In the street at the time the trip was made no disorder was encountered. It Is estimated that there are 2.000 men In the Boo tonight and these are enforced by all the Idle rabble In town. A train carrying 400 more woodsmen Is expected to arrive tonight. The local police force Is being strengthened by thu addition of all the deputies who can be found, each man being given a badge and a revolver and orders to use tho latter when neces sary. Considerable feeling haa ben aroused over the shooting of two French- men by the pol'ce during the trouble this , morning. Rioters claim that the police used their revolvers when It was unneces sary. Neither of the men was sorlously hurt. 1 The mob threatens an attack on the police headquartera with a view of ef fecting the release of all men whd have been arrested. Both this building and that occupied by the Are department is guarded. The problem today developed ta beyond the officials of tho company. Apparently their only hope Is that the anger ot the men will spend Itself and tha men will get out ot town by degrees. Maaa Meeting Quiet. The mass meeting of the men held tonight In the "White house," the big boarding house of 'the company which haa been turned over to the men, was unexpectedly quiet and orderly. An attempt waa made to allay the passions of the men by Hi offer made by the Brotherhood of Woods men, an organization maintained among the lumbermen tu furnlali an attorney free of charge, to collect all pay checks left in his hands. The meeting broke tip without any particular confusion or disorder. About 10 :i0 an alarm of fire was turned In from the pulp inllla and the department re sponded, but no blaze could be discovered. The turning in of tho alarm was evidently the work of some of the rough element who has gathered In large proportions to help along the work of disorder. An effort wan made late today to get a body ot the rioters to cross the river to the American sldn and put the power house and street railway out of commission, but it Waa not successful. On account of thla rumor the local company of state troops will mo bilized at the armory and some extra po licemen were put on duty. A battalion of regulars from Toronto, tha Grenadiers, are expected to arrive at 7 o'clock tomor row morning and their coming Is awaited with feverish impatience. i Failure to Pay Angers. A meeting of the employes ot the com pany was held today and Its proceeding were said to be of the most heatud char acter. The particular grievances which seem to have inflamed the men to acta ot disorder was the promises to pay today, when the men who made the promises, the employes believe, knew they could hot b." fulflllei. After this meeting adjourned the men went In a body to the office of thu company determined to get their money or "get satisfaction," as they put It. On the doors of the offices which were guarded by police, the following notice was posted: Officers and employes of the Consolidate I Lako Superior company: Tho president ami d hectors in New York have been un able tu ruiso the money lo pay today the wages and salaries now due Die men ani officer of the company. Advice received from New York tills morning indicate that our president and directors have a plan t not only pay the men but to start up tlia Works that seems to promise sue res.
