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.

Great sufferlux Is prevalent, but aid Is being received from surrounding towns and a semblance of normal conditions, It is believed, will soon be reached. Burial of the dead Is progressing rapidly, although many bodies are thought to be among the ruins of houses and are difficult to locate.

BesrlnnlnsT of the Storm. Before 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon clouds banked up threatening and black In the northeast, and In less than twenty minutes rain came down In torrents, and the water surged down the streets with great violence. Part of the river, which 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. trampling down whoever came In his way. and thus many women and children perished. A large number of people had sought refuge In the church of San Diego, but were crushed to death under Its falling walls. The priest, who was add words of hope and consolation to the peo ple, was killed. Four hotels and some large shops were demolished or badly Injured and some of the noblest mansions were demolished or badly Injured and some of the mansions in the city were wrecked with their rich furnishings. The large building occupied by Dwight Furness as the American consulate was flooded to the second story windows. Street Car Line Wrecked.

The district to be taxed, at proposed by the plan, takes in only territory between Thirty-third and Thirty-eigl.th streets and from Cuming to Hamilton streets. Pro testants declare the dlsf-.-lct should be extended to Fortieth street on the west. Twenty-eighth street on the east and rea sonable distances In other directions. Another protest to the rlan comes from E. T. Gurske. owner of lot 6. block 4. Lowe's Second addition, who wants tho whole matter knocked out and the prop erty not bought. He says that being on the corner of two streets, each having street car lines, the expansion Is not suited to park purposes, but his complaint Is based upon the weight of the tax and he declares that property owners have all the burdens they can bear at the present time without adding new ones. The as sessment against his lot Is $126. The pet"onB who object to the small as sessment district ore the very ones who Induced the council to make the con demnation, stating that they were ready and willing to foot the bills. They are residents of Bemls Fark and did not like the kind of structures on the ground it is proposed to take in.

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.

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.

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.

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. , DEATH RECORD Charles grits. PLaAIR, Neb., July 3. (Special.)
