STARTS FOR ODESSA
(Continued from First rage.)
clal agency the torpedo boat destroyer
Smotllvy with a volunteer crew has sailed
from Odessa with the Intention of sinking
the Kniai Potemklns.
With Kustenjl and other unprotected
ports of Roumanla, Bulgaria and Turkey
at the mercy of the battleship's guns and
with the Inability of Vice Admiral Kruger's
squadron to interfere with Its career, ta
citly admitted by retiring them from com
mission, this desperate expedient was
seised upon to prevent International com
plications and to rid the BV.it ea of
mutineers.
The Admiralty, however, It should bo
stated, does not admit that the Smctllvy
has gone on such an errand, though the
officials say frankly that the Kniai Fotem
klne must in law be regarded as a pirate.
As much as Russia as a matter of prin
ciple would like to see the provisions of
the treaty of Paris closing the Dardanelles,
abrogated, the Foreign office would oppose
the passage of foreign warships as a tem
porary expedient, declaring tha occasion
did not warrant such a measure.
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff told several
ambassadors who called upon him to in
quire as to the safety of foreigners that
the situation was far less grave than pic
tured In some dispatches.
Orders have been sent to the officers of
the George Pobledonosetz,, who resumed
charge after the mutineers were put
ashore, to take the- vessel to Bebastopol.
General Karakoioff has been appointed to
restore order at Odessa and his first act
was to offer to employ 20,000 Idlers In clear
ing the ruined part. He also took precau
tions to prevent a Jewish massacre.. ,
The government propose to give out a
statement of killed and wounded today.
', ' -
Disorder at Other Point.
At Kieff the first mobilisation trouble
occurred. The reservists attacked and
wounded several policemen and plundered
liquor shops. The Jews are avoiding serv
ice by flight.
More serious In Its way, however, was
the refusal of the disciplinary battalion at
Kherson to obey orders. They attacked
their captain and killed their colonel. The
latter, when mortally wounded by bayonets,
marched his soldiers to barracks and then
sank dying.
The effervescense In Poland has again
commenced. Police have been attacked
with bombs and In several places there
have been collisions between the troops
and the populace. At Kalti five were
killed.
Other revolutionaries In other parts of
the country are making the most of the
opportunity to preach strikes and disorder
and the lntelllgencla propose a general
stoppage of activity by all professional
classes.
Moscow is comparatively quiet, but there
Is much nervousness over the ugly attitude
of the workmen. About half of all the
trades have again struck and It is believed
that the strike will spread. Cossacks had
to use knouts near Putlloff yesterday after
noon and grave trouble Is not unlikely.
While commerce at both St. Petersburg
and CronBtadt is at a standstill, the report
that Cronstadt has been closed to foreign
shipping Is untrue. The strike of 'long
shoremen continues and the sailors, though
not mutlnlous, are openly declaring their
sympathy with their comrades tn the Eux
Ine sea.
At the embassies the seriousness of the
situation la fully realized, but the diplomats
advise their callers to keep their heads
and not become alarmist.
Strike In Nevsky Ship Yards.
The strike of the Nevsky shipyards which
began yesterday became general this morn
lug. Between 5,000 and 8,000 strikers held
a meeting In the courtyard of the works.
Subsequently the men attempted to form
a procession. Thereupon the authorities
requistloned BOO Cossacks, who dispersed
the men with the free use of their whips.
There Is marked excitement In labor circle.
During the afternoon there were several
collision between the police and striker
on the Schlusselburg causeway and the
Cossacks, who were summoned, chargod
and dispersed the workmen with their
whips.
The executive committee of the League of
Professional Leagues is proposing a procla
mation calling on all professional men In
Russia to refuse to perform their pro
fesslonal duties until the promised reforms
are realised and a true parliament Is
granted.

was built over with masonry, burst
through, augmenting the flood, and the
scene became one of terror and consterna
tion. The people made hnsto to gather
their valuables and flee, and many did so
at the risk of their lives, for the streets In
the lower part of the city were filled with
rushing waters and the roar of wind and
rain added to the general panic. With
one rush the mighty flood burst Its bonds,
foundations of solid masonry were under
mined and many buildings fell with a
crash. Their Inmates In many cases were
crushed beneath the falling masonry.
Many Drowned on Plasn.
From the center of the city the flood
rolled to both sides of the town and the
people madly rushed ou' to flee to the
mountains, many being ciught and swept
oway. At the time when the storm seemed
likely to abate and before Its great In
tensity was felt there was a crowd of
merrymakers In the jSasa. Gaming opera
tors had scarcely timj to set up their tables
and place their Tioney thereon when the
flood rushed down from the hills, sweeping
away booths, money and tables. Many
people were then and there drowned. Each
man fought his way out of the flood.

FIRST STEAMBOAT FOR HIM
Inhabitant of Western Nebraska Has
Misunderstanding with Police
Authorities of Omnhn.
Edward Halght. from somewhere in the
fastnesses of western Nebraska, aroused
the Judicial dignity of the local police court
when he told Police Magistrate Rerka he
never, until Monday morning, saw a steam
boat. Halght was picked up at an early
hour Monday morning by detectives while
the stranger was walking around the
downtown streets in an abstracted sort of
way and carrying a small bundle under
his arm. Having some misgivings as to
the right of the plain clothes men to stop
him on a public thoroughfare, Halght be
came Indignant when questioned as to his
Identity and movements at that time of
the morning. The stranger told the court
he read In the newspapers of a steamboat
having anchored at this port, so he Just got
on the steam cars Sunday and left his
hotel at an early hour Monday morning
so as not to miss the boat when It left
the dock.
When Judge Berka discharged Halght the
magistrate took occasion, to remark, "I
have seen men who never saw a left
handed monkey wrench, but In all my ex
perience as a police Judge this Is the first
man 1 have seen who never before saw a
steamboat."
Haight showed the court the bundle he
carried contained nothing more destructive
than two ham sandwiches, four pickles,
six doughnuts and three paper napkins.

faithful members of the monument associa

Attorney C. J. Smyth had a hearing be

his effort to collect tin the Judgment ob

WHART0N SCORES THOMAS
Sn It Comes with Dud Grace for
Hint to Illock Proof
of Will.
Judge Sears nnd a Jury are still busy with
the case In which an attempt Is being made
by Attorneys Snunders. Caley. Wharton,
Clnpp and Holmes to prove the lost Winch
will. 1'roof of the Instrument Is being op
posed by Attorneys Nolan, Gaines and
Elmer Thomas, the latter of whom Is di
rectly responsible for tile loss of the will,
as appears from the evidence so far In
troduced. During an argument on the admissibility
of certain evidence this morning Attorney
Wharton took occasion to pay his respects
to Mr. Thomas quite forcibly.
"It comes with very bad grace," he said,
"from the parties responsible for the loss
of this will to . tand up and oppose every
effort we are making to prove It."
The opposing attorney was apparently not
pleased by Mr. Wharton's allusion to his
carelessness In handling the Instrument,
which he had In charge before It disap
peared. Mrs. Amanda J. Steen, formerly Mrs.
Winch, was on the stand. She told of the
making of the will and how It had been
witnessed by Attorneys Wttpplch and Shoe
maker, and afterward by Messrs. Luther
B. Drake and Ben B. Wood In the Mer
chants' National bank. She testified that
the paper now offered In court Is a true
copy of the lost Instrument.
PEACEMAKER GETS SLUGGED
Justice of Peace la Assaulted by Men
Whose Flghtlnar Ho Sought
to Stop.
"I command you to keep the peace In
the name of the state of Nebraska,"
shouted Justice of the Peace Keller at
Benson Sunday night.
He was addressing a crowd of fighting
men on the public street. As usually hap
pens, the peace maker. Instead of being
blessed, was promptly slugged by the fight
ers, who paused In their struggle long
enough to hand him a pair of black eyes
and divers bruises of more or less painful
chirncter.
As a result of the scrlmmnge a woman
named Maud Walker was arrested and Is
now held In the county Jail on a charge
of disturbing the peace. It was necessary
to bring the prisoner to the Jail In Omaha
because on Saturday evening tho Benson
bastile was raided and made useless as a
place of confinement. A man had been
arrested at King park for. disorderly Con
duct and taken to the villa ro lockup. His
friends gathered a little later and broke
Into the building and released him. They
practically wrecked the structure.
Justice Keller Is now on the war path
after the men who slugged him. One of
them Is supposed to be a man named
Stevens, who lives- In Council Bluffs, and
the others are also known by eye-witnesses
and will soon be arrested.
PRISONERS F0RST0NE YARD
Inmate of City Jail, Nicholson In
sists, Could He Profitably
Kniployed Thoa.
Councilman Nicholson again Is advocating
the establishment of a city stone yard in
which the labor of the city prisoners would
be used.
"A lot of broken stone snd concrete will
be needed In the operation of the municipal
asphalt plant," says Nicholson, "and I
think it would be economical for the city
to break Its own rock and let the prisoners
do it. At present city prisoners are a dead
loss to the taxpayers and do nothing, ex
cept to cut weeds occasionally. I believe
we could save money all nround by letting
them help out on the asphalt plant and I
think I shall try to get my proposition au
thorized and put In force."
Two yen re ago the councilman from the
Fourth lost out In trying to establish a city
stun yard. ,
