RENEWAL OF DISORDER IS FEARED
rlutere Vote to Suspend Work for
.Three Dare Because of Political
(lrlrv.no and City Will
Be Without Paper.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. l.-For the first
time since the advent of M. Trepoff as head
of the government of BL Petersburg, dun
onatnitlona on a large scale took place here
today, the occasion bolng the occasion of
the removal of the body of Prince Troubet
ky to Moscow. - Students, workmen and
spectators gathered by thousands In the
streets, and demonstrators with red flags
paraded boldly through the Nevsky pros
pect, the cl'y's main avenue. The crowds
and the processions were several times
charged and dispersed by mounted police,
but fortunately with no grave consequences.
The most grave Injuries are those sustained
by two men who were slashed with sabrs.
Firearm were not employed by the gend
armes or military and though the first
collision was provoked by a shot from the
crowd and a few cases of stoning occurred,
the crowds manifested no inclination to
resist the police and troops.
Students Are Exasperated.
The students are'exasperated over the
attacks by the police and the arrest of
several members tf a coalition commit Ue
chosen by a student meeting September X
and a renewal of the disorders Is hot im
probable. ' '
The serious feature of the situation is
that a Strike of printers was declared lo
on political grounds,, which Is to last
period of three days, but it may be
ontinUed tonger in case of repressive meas-
or arrests. A few of the leading dally
newspapers hope to be able to Issue a single
sheet giving telegraphic news, but the
others will suspend publication entirely.
The employes of several factories are ready
to follow the lead of the printers and :he
authorities are fully alive to the danger
that the strike nmy become general.
Industrial Cluurter Mulct.
There were no disturbances in the In
dustrial quarters of trie city. Large forces
of trooya weio i.eld In readiness In the
court yards of the burrac-as and in the
quanta in various parts of the city to
deal with any disuraer.r From the Nevsky
prospect, a-band of students and workmen
.l. carrying red Mags and cliantjng revolu-
,uunar.v-rTOii-iTnnrcTeuf .'ueroes tne rtver
and began uh Open 'air meeting in the
; square in front of the university. While
the speeches were In progress the police
' again charged and dispersed the crowds.
In the melee a workman and a student
received sabre cuts. The crowd took refuge
' in the university buildings, and the meet
ing was continued thare without being dis
turbed by the police.
During the annual fall festival of the
Fifth Uymnaslum today, members of the
audience begun to hiss the national hymn.
A panic enued and 'the excitoment was
augmented by the explosion of giant fire-
crackers.
Many persons were bruised in the rush.

Pear Treaty Aaaonaced.
Tne ratification of the treaty of peace
is formally announced this morning In the
Official Messenger, which says that its
operation began yesterday. The text of
the treaty is not given.
As a graceful mark of appreciation of
the part he took in bringing about the
conference at Portsmouth and the re
sultant peace. President Roosevelt was
the first person to be notified by the Rus
sian government that Emperor Nicholas
had' ratified the treaty. As soon as the
emperor's signature bad been affixed to
the instrument and before the treaty had
been brought back from Peterhof for the
counter, signature of Foreign Minister Lams
dorf, the r.ews was sent directly to the
president. Official notification by the French
government, according to the Foreign office.
followed several hours later, when Count
Lamsdorf had completed the ratification by
his signature-
The government took no steps to make
known to the people of Russia the fact
that the emperor had signed the treaty,
before the receipt of the official notifica
tion that the Instrument had been ratified
by the signature of the emperor of Japan
and the first news therefore was communi
cated through the Associated Press dis
patch from Washington. As soon as the
treaty had been fully ratified the Foreign
office communicated the fart to the war,
navy gnd Other ministries and thence or
ders were lrsued to bring home some of
the shire Interned In neutral hnrbors. The
date for the exchange of prisoners of war

LONDON, Oct. 15 (Special Cablegram to
The Ree.)-The arrival at the age of a of
Lord Strathmore, the heir to filamle castle,
and the theory that he -was Informed re
garding the skeleton In the family closet,
the tradition handed down from father to
son regarding " secret of Giamls castle,
has started s ! t deal of discussion rt-
gardlng what
elusion ha ;
cent Burnt t
vlous reason
used in an I
"I do not

If Mrs. Fit;

iecret really Is. No con
en arrived at, but a re
mis castle, who for ob-
lot care to-trave his name
:w, said:
there is much more in
t, supposed to be handed
son, than there would be
rfs celebrated box of let
d at Coutfs bank. The
generation often become
next. The wise precaution
of a century or so soon degenerates into a
traditional survival that Is Invested try out
siders only with far more Importance than
It really deserves.
Still uhere Is certainly more at Giamls
castle than can be explained by the ordi
nary channels of our dally knowledge. Tou
might, for Instance, tie a handkerchief to
the window of every room from the inside
and count the apartments , thus adorned.
When you checked the total from the out
side you would invariably find that one
window escaped your attention. Again,
there has been some mention of playing
cards. Let me give a Concrete instance of
what happened to a friend of mine at din
ner there. I could make public his name,
but, of course, I do not like to do It. He
told us all about it when we met at a
shooting party, to which he came down
from Scotland. The guests had gathered
Just before dinner at the end of the great
dining hall at Glands. Just before they all
moved In a playing card fluttered down
from the ceiling. Before his host put his
foot upon it my friend hsd time to see that
It was the nine of diamonds. "The Curse
of Scotland,'.' 1 think he called It. It was
apparently accepted by those present as an
occurrence usual to the place, but on which
It was good form to make no remark. How
ever, there was naturally some talk over
the matter In the smoking room that night
after Lord Strathmore had gone to bed and
no explanation was forthcoming. Nobody
dreamed of laughing at it, however."
BRITISH COMPLAIN OF BOOTS
Pay Leather from America Is Not as
Good na the British
. Product.
LONDON, Oct. 15. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The British public intent on
buying boots and shoes is confronted with
two alternatives. Purchasers must either
pay a bigger price for their boots and
shoes or they must be content with Inferior
articles in, which glucose and other materi
als predominate over the real leather. This
Is said to be due to tbe fact that for many
yfears past the Americans have been buying
up .English hides, adulterating them, and
"dumping" them back Into this country
artificially tanned and weighted.
The "dumping" went so far as to reduce
tho English tanners to the ranks of -mere
Importers, and Brmondsey,,'tnstead of be
ing the center ot the English tanning In
dustry is now a "district of Importers.
Interviewed on the subject Mr. Alfred
Randall, the editor of the Boot and Shoe
Journal, said: . .
"The English tanning industry has been
so reduced by foreign competition that we
are largely dependent upon America (or
leather. So great Is this dependence- that
our market is always influenced by the
operations of American tanners.
"Boots and shoes are costing from 15
per cent to 2Q per cent more to produce than
they did two years ago. The demand is
for material 'at a price' and even today
there are few people who have real'v
learned that In boots and shoes the best is
the cheapest. Many tan yards have been
closed in England during the past twenty
years for capitalists find that they can
make more money and make it more easily
by buying and selling than by manufactur-
Ing."

The-engineers lived several hours after
the wreck occurred, but the other three
men were killed instantly.
Cow Lying- on the Track.
A cow was lying on the ties between
the rails. She was hidden from view by
the other cattle standing about It. At
the sound of the whistle of the approach
ing train, the standing cattle scampered
away, but the forward locomotive struck
the lying cow.
The animal was crushed under the wheels
of the pilot truck and rolled along the ties
for 100 feet. The animal's blood made the
rails slippery and pieces of bone threw
the front locomotive from the track. The
derailed locomotive pitched down an em
bankment, -drawing the second locomotive
Into the ditch, where the two machines
piled up, crushing the engineers and fire
men, v

Car after car crushed Itself onto the hot

fire from the live coals of the locomotive
fire boxes. The conductor and rear brake
men, with persons who lived near the
wreck, hastily took the mangled bodies
of the trainmen from the burning debris
and saved the rest of the train from the
flames.
The body of Brakeman Morgan was
driven Into the earth beneath the end of
a box car.' Fireman Brllley was found
dead, but apparently unwounded, beside the
tangled -steel of the locomotives. Engineer
Summers was caught in the cab of his lo
comotive and cooked by steam and water
from the boiler. He lived several hours,
although large pieces of cooked flesh fell

TESTIMONIAL F0R AN' EXILE
O'Dono-ron Roesn Will Be Given Cash
by Admirers on Return
Horn.
DUBLIN, Oct. 15. (Feclal Cablegram to
The Bee.) At a meetirt of the Old Guard
Union testimonial furu Just held In this
city the subject of the future of O'Donovan
Rossa came up for dhsnisslrrn. Communica
tions from Borrts-ln-Vssory, Sklbbereen,
etc., were read. The honorable secretaries
of the Sklbbereen O'Donovan Rossa testi
monial wrote that In deference to the
wishes of some of Rossa'i friends their
committee had decided upon keeping tho
fund open for soma time longer. The ex
pected return of Mr. O'Donovan and his
wife at an early date to Ireland had ma
terially strengthened the decision come to.
The Sklbbereen committee, like the Old
Guard Union committee, had to complain
of the tardiness of certain gentlemen and '
sssocialions In remitting the money col
lected by them for tha testimonial. The
chairman said he waa very proud of Cork
for having unanimous.1 alerted Rossa to
the position on the staff of the county
council. The salary would not be very
much, but supplemented by a little an
nuity purchased from the proceeds of the
testimonial fund It would be sufficient to
render the old patriot a comfortable sub
sistence for the rest of his days.
With the view of augmenting the funds
already in the hands of the Old Guard
union, Mr. O'Brien suggested that a concert
of Irish music should be held in the ro
tunda or some other suitable building. Mr.
O'Brien said that he hid already received
numerous offers of aserritance from gifted
artistes. At the next sheeting of the Old
Guard union committer a program would
be submitted and the members would then
set to work to make the concert a thorough
success. The suggestions made were unani
mously agreed to and when Mr. Rossa re
turns to Ireland he will be given a rousing
reception.
PICKPOCKET IS PATRIOTIC
French Womnn fnys She Conflned
Her Operations Entirely to Na

' !. '
PARIS, Oct. 15. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) In Paris the police have dis
covered a woman whose peculiar sort of
patriotism has been compared to' Boule de
Sulf in Guy de Maupassant's story. " She
was arrested recently for having robbed a
German merchant of J350. To the magis
trate she made a strange declaration. 8 ho
said that her main object In life was to
decoy Germans and rob them. She went
about with them to cafes and music halls
and while affecting to be very Interested
in them she picked their pockets. . In this
way she had annexed for several years
past over (3,500. She had. picked the pockets
of exactly sixty-seven - Germans and she
was proud of It. As her reasdn for thus
acting tho woman said that in 1870 her
family in Normandy had been completely
ruined by the German invaders, who stole
her father's cattle, pigs, fowls and even
plate. She was then obliged to go out as
a dairymaid, but not belntt accustomed- to
servitude she came to f arls and began
waylaying and robbings Germans. . The
magistrate listened to thid tale oalmly. It
evidently made no Inutrelrion on him for
he sent the new Boule K Suif to the depot,
there to await trial.

CONDOLENCE FOR HISTRIONIC FAMILY
Klnar Edward Sends General Hoblyn
with a Personal Message from
Illssself and Queen Alexandra.
LONDON, Oct. 1G. That the body of Sir
Henry Irving should And a resting place In
Westminster Abbey appears to be a very
general desire. An editorial In this morn
ing's Daily Telegraph says:
The nation will, we are persuaded, ask
this honor for him with no uncertain voice,
and we know we interpret the wish and
feeling of the countrv when we plead for a
public interment in the Abbey.
The flood of tribute ot admiration and af
fection is increasing. From King Edward
downward men of all classes. Including the
great church men, are giving publlo ex
pression to their feelings on the sad oc
casion, nearly all dwelling as much on Sir
Henry Irvlng's personal character as on bis
histrionic talents.
Death Dne to Hard Work,
It seems to be beyond doubt that Irving
sacrificed himself by hard work. He had
been advised a long time ago to give up
arduous roles like that of Matthias In "The
Bells," owing to the strain thrown on his
weak heart, and only last week he had been
persuaded to omit "The Bells" In future.
It appears for several years past the
weakness of the lungs had thrown an undue
strain on the heart. Sir Charles Wyndham
says that In- February last he begged Sir
Henry to take warning and not to burn the
candle at both ends with receptions In the
morning and exacting performances In the
evening.
Trlbate from All Classes.
Many Interesting touches are revealed In
the tributes of Sir Henry's friends. For In
stance, Forbes Robertson say that Sir
Henry told him it was his financial suc
cesses' in the United States that enabled
him to create his success at the Lyceum
theater In London. General Booth of the
Salvation Army, Toole, the actor, and Sir
Theodore Martin were among the veterans
who hastened to express the sense of loss
the world has sustained In the death of the
distinguished actor.
Nothing has yet been 'decided as to the
funeral arrangements, pending the meeting
of theatrical managers which Sir Charles
Wyndham has called for toduy, and which
probably will decide to ask the dean of
Westminster Abbey to permit Interment in
the Abbey.
Condolence from King Edward,
King" Edward and Queen Alexandra,
through General Dlghton McNuugliton
Probyn, keeper of the privy purse and extra
equerry to the king, today sent a message
of sympathy to the family of Sir Henry Irv
ing, in which their majesties say:
"He will, Indee'd, be a great loss to the
profession 'of which he was such a dis
tinguished member."
Messages of sympathy have also been re
ceived from President Roosevelt and Dr.
Jules Caretle, on behalf of tbe Comedie
Francalse.

RIGHTS OF AMERICAN FISHERS
Gloncester Vesselovrnera Will Ask
Secretnry Root for Interpretation
ot Treaty of 1818.
GLOUCESTER, Mass., Oct. 16. -As a re
suit of the policy recently adopted by
the Newfoundland government to restrict
American Ashing rights on the coast of
Newfoundland, Congressamn Augustus P.
Oardnor and Benjamin A. Smith, one of
the largest vessel owners of this city, left
for Washington to discuss the situation
with Secretary Root.
Originally It was decided that the col
lector of port, William H. Jordan, and a
committee from the Board of Trade should
accompany Congressman Gardner and Mr.
Smith, but this plan was abandoned. Inas
much as it was felt that Messrs. Gardner
and Smith weer fully qualified to deal with
the situation. The object of the trip to
Washington Is to obtain from the head
of the State department an Interpretation
of the treaty of 1W8, by which American
fishermen mere guaranteed fishing rights
on the Newfoundland coast. A similar trip
to Washington was made last spring, but
thus far no Interpretation of the treaty
has been made by the Department of
Slate.
At the conference which will be hold
tomorrow Congressman Gardner and Mr.
Smith will ask Secretary Root for an Im
mediate Interpretation.
The vessel owners of this port say they
are prepared to make a test case of the
matter if any Gloucesterf vessels are In
terfered with by the cruiser Fiona. The
Newfoundland government claims New
foundland fishermen are shipped at Glou
cester, and In order that this cause of
complaint may be eliminated the schooner
Dauntless, Captain Charles T. Young, will
sail from this port tomorrow with a crew
of twenty-four men, all of whom were
shipped 'here and none of whom belong
to Newfoundland. Captain Young believes
that he cannot' be Interfered with by the
Newfoundland authorities and he is plan
ning to sell his catch of herring to other
Gloucester fishermen, who will bring It to
this port.

SEW HOME BOARD

V istieci Bod ii Decided On.
INTERESTS OF CHURCH DEMAND IT
Differencei in Kanepa.nt of Affaire Sug
gest Wisdom of Realignment.
JOHN WILLIS BAER WILL LEAVE IT
Former Christian Endeavor Secretary Be
comes President of Oooidental College.
SUCCEEDS DR. GUY W. WADSWORTH
Latter to Be Inaugurated Today a
President of Bellevue, Which Is
Just Tweuty-Flvo Years
of Ago.
The Bee has been reliably advlsea
that a general realignment in the Board
of Home Missions of the Presbyterian
church is pending. Certain differences In
the management and work have convinced
the authorities ot the church that lis in
terests and those of the work under the
board demand a general change.
In connection with this Information The
Bee lenrns that John Willis Baer will, If
he has not already, resign his position with
the home board to accept the presidency
of Occidental college at Los Angeles, be
coming thereby, the successor of Dr. Guy
W. Wadsworth, who left Occidental and
came to the presidency of Bellevue, as
suming the latter position the first ot the
present scholastic year.
The differences which have lead to the
determination to reorganise tho home
board, are understood to Involve Mr. Baer,
though not In any way discreditably. The
home board is one of the most vital de
partments of the Presbyterian church. It
is under the direction and Influence of this
board that all the great mission work In
the United States, Involving that among
the Mormons ot the west, so distinctively
strengthened in recent years, is conducted.
The highest state of usefulness possible
ot attainment Is the goal set by the church
for this board, and because of obstacles In
the way of this purpose the governing
powers of the church have decided the
sooner a general realignment ot the board
is effected tho better for all Interests con
cerned. John Willis Baer Famous.
The name of John Willis Baer is known
wherever that of the Young People's Soci
ety of Christian Endeavor has been her
alded and that is In every Christian laud
of the earth. With the organisation of
this now vast army ot Christian workers
by Francis E. Clark. Mr. Baer became
general secretary, and he held that position
until two or three years ago, when he re
signed to accept the place with the home
board of the Presbyterian church. It had .
not been generally known that his early
training had especially fitted him for the
work of an educator and when lila Im
mediate friends K'Rinod Vt -his call to Oc
cidental they were surprised. o The Bee
is informed. But the same elementsa
burning zeal in his work and his mugnctlo
personality, coupled with unusual execu
tive ability which made him a world-widu
factor In the Christian Endeavor work are
being relied on to give him distinction as
a college president.
