ST. 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.

(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.

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.

Russian Warships at Shanghai.
SHANOHAL May 27. 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.

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."

BARBERTON, O., May 26. 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

Much of this paper was against the

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.

Refuse to Aid Teamsters with Sym
pathy Strike and Withdraw 91,000
Per Week Benefit They Have
Been Paying;.
CHICAGO, May 26. 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.
Lumber Mill Shuta Down.
Tho first lumber mill to shut down be
cause of the shortage In supplies was that
ot the J. W. Landla Mill company. .Fires
were drawn today and the workmen laid
off.
"It is no use trying to do business under
present conditions," said Mr. Landls. "The
police cannot give us adequate protection.
We tried to send out five wagons with ten
policemen, but failed. Fifty policemen
would not have been enough. I believe the
