PETERSBURG, May 26.-The Igna- tlelt commission for the revision of excep tional laws designed for safeguarding pub lic order has pronounced against a continu ance of the minor state of siege which is annually declared In many Kussian cities. The commission finds that it led to tho great abuses and arbitrariness and fur nished a pretext for domiciliary visits and summary arrests. The commission recom mends the entire abolition of the so-called minor state of siege and the substitution at tlmea of great public stress of martial law, so as to leave the cities either In a normal condition, with the civil authority In full sway, or entirely under the control of the military. The council of the empire has Increased the appropriation for public education by $625,000. Private reports from Zhltmlr, province of Volhynla, say the tension between the Jews and Christians la Increasing and that both sides are arming. (From a Staff Corespondent.) RED OAK, la.. May 26. (Special Telw gram.) The prosecution In the Dennlsou case today made rapid progress on Its long list of witnesses, and by those examined It attempted to show the responsibility of the financial statement sent by Dennison to Bhercliffe, and incidentally to establish Dennlson'a residence In Omaha. By one of the witnesses of the prosecution the de fense proved that Dennison, since the Pol lock robbery, had run his policy wheel In Iowa openly, and Attorney Oonnell an nounced that the court would later have to pass on the question whether Dennison had not been a resident of Iowa for three years since the Pollock robbery, the supreme court of Iowa having held that a person may have residence in more than one state at the same time. Two of the witnesses for the prosecution, Frank Broadwell and Harry Deuel, testified to the good reputa tion of Dennison for truth and integrity, having been kept on the atand by the de fense as its witnesses. It developed during the day that one of the mlnnlng links in the evidence which the prosecution wants very badly is a transcript of the proceedings of the trlaf of Bhercliffe. Former State Senator Hlpwell testified that he had taken the original notes in the case to the office of John N. Baldwin for the purpose the last he knew about the notes. R. E. O'Hanley, clerk for John N, Baldwin, said vhe had made an abstract of the proceed ings, but could not locate the original nates. Neither could a number of wit nesses called by the prosecution. O'Hanley swore that at the trial Dennison testified that he had never seen Bhercliffe until the trial. Thin Is shown in his abstract, which was filed, but as he said he had put his own Interpretation on the testimony given, It will be vigorously attacked by the de fense. The defense got some satisfaction out of jripwell, who swore that John Martin, a v saloonkeeper of Logan, had paid him $500 to get him to assist In securing a parole for Bhercliffe. He was asked if Dennison had paid htm any money. "Dennison never paid me a cent," he answered, Identification of Letters, Homer Morris, brother of Bhercliffe, iden tified the letters Dennison is alleged to have written him, but when it came to the Items affecting him in the financial state ment he "supposed" Instead of being posi tive regarding the presents Dennison had made him and his wife. He swore he had received the watch in question and he said: "I supposed Dennison sent it to me." The dress and shoes his wife had received he said he "supposed came from Dennison." The $26 which the financial statement showed was sent him to visit the Omaha exposition he said he received from Bhercliffe. At the time of the presents he said he did not know Dennison. He met him at the exposition, he said, and boarded at his house without cost to himself. The strongest testimony probably of the prosecution today was that of Warden Jones of the Iowa penitentiary. Jones Identified Dennison as the man who, under the name of E. C. Blunt, visited Bhercliffe . In prison and left him money. A llftlA lrrtl. was np.at I Kl. when It was learned that A. N. Lund, who claims to be a deputy sheriff of Blackwell, Okl., came to town and announced that he was after Bhercliffe on a charge of burglary. He requested Sheriff Thomas to make tho arrest. The sheriff refused, and said he would not arrest Bhercliffe without a warrant from the governor of Iowa and until the trial la over. The Oklahoma pfllcer said the warrant and requisition papers were on tne road. But before any tiling Is done Governor Cummins will give the Interested parties a hearing. Incident ally, while a number of gamblers are com ing in to testify, there are also a number of sheriffs on. hand, among them being Bob Marshall of Atlantic, Sheriff Morgan of Olenwood, Kentworthy of Greenfield and Thomas of Montgomery. Hooker, the much talked of banker for Sheroliffe, and the famous Byrne are also here. However, no overt acts have been committed. Visits Missouri Valley. Attorney Council this morning resumed his cross-examination of Bhercliffe. The Witness testified that he had gone with Attorney Thomas and the sheriff last spring to Missouri Valley to look over the ground again and see the staypost and Its surroundings. -The post and fence were all gone. Witness said he had previously testified that Tom Dennison told him that John Dennison accompanied Tom to Mis so art Valley when the diamonds were dug up, but that John did not go to the spot where tho diamonds were. When asked if he did not say to a Des Moines News .reporter about the last of the year, that he was ready to fight Tom Dennison with any weapons, or in any way he might name, either on the straight. In the brush, day or night, cut, slash or hoot, the witness replied that he did make such a statement immediately fol lowing the dynamiting of Attorney Thomas' home. Witness denied that he turned over $1,250 on October 10. mi. to M. P. Hooker, with additional amounts of StiOO on November 11. $1,800 a little later, $1,000 in December, 1300 in January and tl.'XO in February 1K8. He was asked If he had not told Byrne in King's saloon In Des Moines that he made up his affidavit to help El mer Thomaa convict Dennison in Iowa, be cause he could not be convicted In Ne braska. He denied It, and averred that he could never have gotten out of that saloon alive. Witness denied he ever had any agree gvnt with Attorneys Thomas and Brome gtagardlng getting pay whatever for. his testimony. Relations with Thomas, hat finished the cross-examination. Attorney Thomaa took the witness on re Artec Bhercliffe said he first mads his JAPANESE COMMERCE IS GROWIXQ Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Finance Talk of Trade and War. TOKIO, May 20. Baron Komura, minis ter of foreign affairs; Baron Bone, minis ter of finance, and Baron Shlbusawa ad' dressed the Clearing House association to day. Baron Komura said that the financial capability ot Japan had completely sur prised the world. He was glad that Japan was showing a financial and productive ability, as well as strength on the battle field. The war, he said, would last long, and he trusted much In the commercial ability of the nation after the war was ended, when a greater proBpect would be opened for the country. He expected, he said further, that the commercial interest would do their utmost to develop and ex tend commerce. He also expected the in troduction cf foreign capital, and he coun seled his hearers to facilitate this intro duction by inspiring foreign capitalists with confidence in the country. Baron Bone thanked the financial and commercial Interests for their great as sistance in financing the war. Baron Shlbusawa said that the commerce and productive capacity of the nation was growing despite the war. The bank clear ings, he said, for 1904 exceeded by $2,000,000,- 000, which amount was unprecedented. He expected that the bank clearings for 1906 would exceed $2,600,000,000. HAY READY TO RETURN HOME Secretary Will Spend Sunday in Hla Summer Homo In New England. BAD NAUHEIM, May 26. Secretary Hay haa finished the course of baths here and will start tomorrow for Paris, where Mrs. Hay awaits him. Prof. Qroedel is qulle satisfied with the effects the taking of the baths have had on Mr. Hay, but he has advised him to abstain from all of ficial business for several months, such a course being usually necessary after this course of treatment. Secretary Hay ex pects, therefore, to spend the summer at his country home and to remain there until autumn. Emperor William Invited Mr. Hay to come to Wiesbaden to visit him, but the secretary declined on the ad vice of his physician. King Edward also Invited Mr. Hay to an audience, but this invitation also was declined. During his visits to London and Paris Secretary Hay will remain very quiet and will make no formal official calls. The call of King Leopold of Belgium on him Thursday took the secretary completely by surprise, as the visit was not announced beforehand. ioaUnued on Second PM-i RUMOR OF NAVAL BATTLE Beport from Tokio that Conflict is Baging in Coreaa.

The Russian war ships that were off the Saddle islands left last night. The Chinese authorities ordered the ves sels of the Russian volunteer fleet which were anchored off Woosung to leave within twenty-four hours. The Russians thus far have entirely Ignored the order. LONDON, May 27. The Shanghai cor respondent of the Dally Express says: All the Chinese cruisers in these waters cleared for action today and the taotal went to the Russian consulate and demanded that the Russian ships leave within twenty-four hours. Cabling from Shanghai, the correspondent of the Dally Mail says he believes the ves sels of the Russian Baltic squadron off Saddle Islands have proceeded on their voyage, and gives a rumor that the main Russian fleet is in the neighborhood of Fu chan (province of Shantung). The cor respondent says that President Roosevelt has wired the viceroy and taotal commend ing their steps to preserve Chinese neutral ity. The correspondent of the Standard at Shanghai says that the Russian transports now at Woosung were convoyed by the cruisers Rlon and Smolensk. Entire Russian Fleet Kear Wooionc. TS1NGTAU, May 26. The whole Russian fleet Is assembled near Woosung, and the German squadron at Tslngtau is preparing for eventualities. CHE FOO, May 26. (3 p. m.) All Japa nese steamers arriving at this port today have been ordered held here pending fur ther Instructions. Think Russians Plan Diversion. TOKIO, May 26. (U a. m.) It is believed here that the action of the Russians In sending some vessels to Shanghai Is part of a diversion plan to draw off a portion of the Japanese fleet. It is thought that possibly the Russians intended to intern the slower craft, but the visit and with drawal of the faster vessels is regarded to be without purpose, unless a diversion Is made. The whereabouts of Admiral Rojest vensky'a fleet is not reported, and opinion is divided as to whether it has entered the Pacific or returned to the lower Chinese coast. The location of Admiral Togo'a fleet con tinues to be secret. Popular feeling Is un disturbed and the Japanese public is con fident that Admiral Togo is prepared to meet any situation. Report May Be Maanlfled. NEW YORK, Mty 26. The report from Tslngtau, the port of the German conces sion at Klaochou, Bhantung peninsula, Is In all probability a magnified version of the dispatch of tho Associated Press from Shanghai yesterday, saying that It was creditably reported there that certain Rus sian vessels had arrived at the mouth of the Yangtse river yesterday afternoon. Both Woosung and Shanghai are situated on branches of the Yangtse river. Five steamers of the Russian volunteer fleet. three colliers and one Russian cruiser were the vessels reported to have arrived off the Yangtso river. Later the cruiser put to sea and three of the volunteer fleet vessels went to Woosung. It Is quite probable that the Chinese ashore exaggerated this report, making a statement that the wholo Russian fleet was assembling off Woosuns. No news has been received from any other point tending to alter the facts cabled to the Associated Press yesterday from Shanghai, and there is no doubt that if the Russian fleet really had assembled off been flashed from Shanghai, which is only Woosung such Important news would have eleven miles south of that place. Lloyds Hear of Ships. LONDON, May 26 A dispatch to Lloyds from Shanghai under today's date says it is reported there and generally believed that several Russian warships have ap peared off the Saddle Islands, a group of twenty-five small islands situated about sixty miles southeast of Shanghai. The dispatch adds that three vessels of the Russian volunteer fleet, the Vladimir, VoroneJ and Yaroslav and three colliers, the Livonia, Meteor and Curonia, have an chored off Shanghai. The Great Northern Telegraph company reports that the Che Foo-Shanghal cable Is Interrupted. The Interruption of the Che Foo-Shanghal cable does not necessarily mean that the line has been tampered with by either of the belligerents, nor would the cutting of it interrupt communication between Che Foo and Shanghai, since a German cable runs from Che Foo to Tslngtau, and from Tslngtau direct to Shanghai. Opinion at St. Petersburg:. 8T. PETERSBURG, May 27.-1:87 a, m. While a flying raid of one or two commerce destroyers In the eastern sea Is admitted as a possibility by the naval authorities here, theso authorities are loath to believe that any division of Rojestvensky's squad ron, in an Important sense, has taken place, as reported from Shanghai. They prefer to assume that the unspecified Rus sian ships reported to be outside Shanghai, like the six which entered the port of Woosung were units of the transport fleet, without special fighting value, and perhaps they have been sent thither to confuse the scent for Togo. A prominent naval strategist said to the Associated Press: "I don't know where Admiral Rojestvensky is at present, but wherever he is you may be sure that he has his entire fighting force well bunched and Is not weakening his main squadron In the face of the enemy. While It Is possi ble, of course, that he may have chosen to double sharply to the westward north of Formosa and to seek Togo in tho eastern sea, with the purpose of forcing him to accept battle, I am inclined to believe that he is pursuing a course northward, out side Joaa. "I should not be surprised, however, If Rojestvensky detached several speedy liners now converted! cruisers for a raid to the northward Inside the Luchu islands in order to paralyse Japanese commerce and em barrass Togo, while the Russian fighting squadron la pursuing its main objective." Russian Cavalry Raid. Newa of a successful cavalry raid by Lieutenant General Mlstchenko comes In the following dispatch from lieutenant General Llnevlteh to the emperor, dated May 26: A cavalry detachment commanded by NEWS FROM RACING YACHTS Steamer Carpathla Reports Serin Vessel Displaying; Lights ot Authorised by Committee.

The First National bank of Barberton was closed on the recommendation of National Bank Ex aminer Albertson, who found between 140,000 and $50,000 doubtful paper, consist ing mostly of long time notes, which, it Is claimed, was carried contrary to the na tional banking laws. Much of this paper was against the Barberton Pottery company, which went Into bankruptcy this week. A plan was on foot to merge the bank with the Barber ton Savings Bank company, and O. C. Barber, the match mugnate, had made an offer to take over the bank's affairs, but this, it la said, was rejected. The former deal Is still on, however, and may go through yet, the bank being absorbed by the Barberton Savings Bank company. The bank had deposits and accounts amounting to $220,000.

CHANGES IN IOWA P0ST0FFICE SALARIES Board Appointed to Meet at Fort Crook to Examine Army Officers Who Are Candidates for Promotion. (From a Btaff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May 26. (Special Tele gram.) A determined effort is being made to have renewed the proceedings instituted a year or more ago against John J. Kyan of St. Louis, whose turf investments con cern, with headquarters In that city, swindled the people of the surrounding states out of millions of dollars. The penitentiary seemed staring Kyan In the face, when an order was received by the United States district attorney, who was prosecuting the case, to take no further action. The order of the department created the greatest excitement and Indig nation, especially In Iowa, where the con cern had duped many people out of sums ranging from a few hundred to several thousand dollars In Individual cases. A representative of some of tho people duped came on to Washington today, and is at the Department of Justice for the purpose of Inducing tho attorney general to have proceedings against Ryan renewed. Ryan gave evidence In a case against two employes of the Postofflce department on trial In Cincinnati some months ago and it is alleged that It was on his evidence they were convicted of accepting bribes to prevent a fraud order being issued against some concern. The lawyer representing the Iowa peo ple swindled says he cannot believe the department promised Ryan Immunity in return for hla evidence, as the cases against the department attaches were compara tively trifling, while Ryan got away with over $1,000,000, it Is said. It la said that when he went to Cincinnati, where he Is at present, he carried $400,000 In a satchel with him. He Is alleged to have swindled the people of Iowa alone out of over $200,000. Political Influence may have been em ployed to have the department quash the Indictments against Ryan, though It la not believed the attorney general knew of anything Improper being done In connec tion with tho case. The result of the efforts being made to have Ryan tried will not be known for a day or two. Army Examining: Board.

Rioting Troke out afresh today In the teamsters' strike and although nobody was seriously hurt there were a number of vicious fights In tho lumber district, during which the police were compelled to use their clubs, and in one Instance revolvers In order to dlspcrso the mob. A serious fight took place at the corner of Canal and Madison streets, adjoining the passenger depot of the Pennsylvania railroad. The wagon of an express com pany, although protected by a policeman and a deputy sheriff, was attacked by a large crowd, despite the fact that It bore on each side a large placard declaring that all people had been enjoined from Inter fering with the wagon by the federal court. The policeman displayed his re volver, but tho crowd, paying no attention to him, rushed at the wagon and, selling the wheels, attempted to overturn It. A riot call brought from the Desplatnea street police station, four squares distant, a largo force of officers, who dispersed the crowd and arrested about forty of tho most active in the disturbance. The worst fight In the lumber district oc curred at Twenty-second street and Ash land avenue, where a crowd of men and boys had all through tho morning hurled stones and clubs at the passing lumber wagons. Finally a wagon on which Police Officer Bugenskl was a passenger came along and the mob greeted it with tho usual volley oi stones. They also threat ened to attack the driver and the situa tion was so serious that the officer, draw- ing his revolver, fired six shots at tho crowd, which broke and fled In wild con fusion. None of the bullots hit anybody. Policeman Shot In Hand. This evening general rioting was preval ent throughout the lumber district and par ticularly In the territory near the Inter section of Thirty-fifth street and Center avenue. The lumber wagons returning from making deliveries were attacked by crowd at every available opportunity. Large numbers oetynien armed with clubs, slung shots and bricks, accompanied by Jeering ' women and exulted children, filled the ride walks along Center avenue, Thirty-fifth atreet, Loomls street and Archer avenu awaiting the passage of wagons which were believed by the crowd to be unguarded. At Archer avenue and Loomls street two trucks appeared with one policeman on each. They were Immediately bombarded with bricks and stonea and scores of air rifles were brought Into play. A bullot from one of these weapons seriously wounded Policeman James Fltzpatrlck In the right hand. The two policemen drew their revolvers and fired over the heads of the rioters, holding them at bay until the drivers managed to reach their destina tion at the yards of the Rittenhouse & Embree Lumber company. Butldlnw Tradea to Keep Out. At a meeting of the Associated Building Trades council tonight, at which twenty- nine trades affiliated with the building In dustries were represented, it was decided that no action will be taken which will tend to drag the building trades into the teamsters' strike. This action on the part of the building trades, will go far toward restricting the strike to Its present limits, as It means that the members of the build ing trades unions will work with materials Irrespective of the fact that they are hauled In wagons driven by nonunion teamsters. It was decided at the meeting to with. draw all the financial and moral support that the building trades unions have been giving to the teamsters thus far in the strike. This means a loss to the teamBters of $1,000 a week, which they have received from the building trades unions. A committee was appointed to convey to President Shea of the teamsters the action voted -by the building tradeB. The newa visibly affected him and he replied: I can't believe that this Is true. The building trades workmen are too loyal to unionism to take this position." Albert Young, the chief lieutenant of President Shea, assumed a defiant attitude. He said: 'The building trades will find that the teamsters can take care of their strike without the aid of the plumbers, plasterer and the rest of them." strike Spreads in Small Degree. The Strike today spread In a small degree throughout the building trades. There were a number of Instances whore woodworkers refused to receive the material delivered by nonunion teamsters and walked out. Thjs move in every Instance was made by the men as Individuals only. There was no official action taken by any of tho building trades unions looking to active sympathetic support ot the teamsters' strike. Several of the labor leaders In the -ranks of the material trades have declared within the last twelve hours that there is no prospect In their opinion of any com plete tleup ot the building trades by a strike of the men. There la no movement on foot at present looking towards a settlement of the strike. Mayor Dunne many times since the com mencement of the teamstera' atrlke declared that he knew of no contemplated plana of peace. The mayor talked as though ha had abandoned hope of settlement. Alder man Dever, chairman ot the city council peace committee, appointed a week ago, said tonight that he had practically ceased work, as the committee could see no avenue in the controversy looking toward an ad justment of the differences between the teamsters and the employer.
