ST. PETERSBURG. July 25.--Though It
to difficult to obtain trus picture of the
condition In the Interior. owing to the
embargo that hn ben put upon pre dis
patches, all Indication point niore ami
more o the postponement of the threatened
general strike until the government shall
be less nnd the country more prepared for
ai.ch an event; until the harvest 1 finished I
and the revolutionary moyenient develop
spontaneously (imonc the Idle peasantry.
What news ha been received from the
province today Indicate that condition
are scarcely ripe, except In the famine
districts, for an upheaval. The strategists
of the revolutionary council are laboring
with the hot head to Induce them to defer
the call for a general strike until It can
coma a a supplement to the movement al
ready under way. A definite decision will
be reached within a day or two In the re

Scorch for ew MlnUter.
Th remnant of the constitutional demo

age due them, have started homeward, are
caucusing Industriously, but their Import

t!'e revolutionists paying much attention
to the former dominant party In the lower
Louse of Parliament. The government. In
deed, has not abandoned It efforts to enlist
moderates In the cabinet. Prof. Mouromts

for whom rremler Stolpyln was vainly
arching with an Invitation to go to Feter

tre outlaw Parliament at Vlborg, was again
approached today, but there I not the
(lightest prospect that he ran be swayed,
even by imperial command, to take office.
No further changea In the cabinet hare
been decided upon, but M. Qurko, who was
assistant to M. Btolypln In the ministry of
the interior, who is mentioned as M. SMuii

and whose character may be Judged by
live fact that he was higher in favor under
both Plehve and Prince Sylatopolk-Mirsky.

Distress In . Interior.
The most urgent problem before the gov
ernment, in case an immediate outbreak Is
postponed la the. relief of the distress In
the Interior. The cabinet meeting Tuesday
evening was devoted to consideration of thia
subject and it was voted to extend relief
works In the famine districts. A commis
sion was appointed to decide where the
budget could best be cut to find the 17,500,-
000 voted by Parliament for famine relief. It
111 be necessary also to provide more cash
for the settlement of claims for damages to
estates during the peasant excesses, the
commission for Yekaterinoslav province
alone demanding t'on.OOO In addition to the

of befng deferred.
Premier Btolypln announced to the council
of the empire today that he had obtained
from Emperor Nicholas special powers for
Admiral Skrydloff In restoring and main
taining order and discipline in the Fllack
sea fleet. The admiral, who departed today
for 8ebatcpol. told the Associated Press
that his first tack would be to investigate
the arrests of sailors of the fleet and liber
ate those who were unjustly sent to prison,
lie Intimated that he considered the offloers
largely to blame for the mutinous spirit of
the various crews. The admiral took with
h'm a new naval procurator to see that
justice is done in future court martlals.
Admiral Skrydloff said he had learned that
Admiral Rojeatvensky and Captain Clado
probably will be restored to the roster of
. the navy.

Premier Btolypln tonight authorized the
official St. Petersburg news agency to Issue
th following statement to the foreign
press:
From the very first days of Its existence
the lower house of Parliament overstepped
all the limits of law. in It reply to the
speech from the throne, modifies! km of tue
fundamental law was demanded in tne
shape of the suppression of the council of
the empire and the creation of a responsible
cabinet. By Its agrarian program, based
on the expropriation of land, the house
raised hopes that could not be realised and
weakened the respect for property of oth

its members the house consistently dis

WEST1NGH0USE UNDER FIRE
Stockholders Accuse President with
Lssseklsg Private Venture
with Company I'ssdi.
PITTSBURG, July 26 At a sensational'
meeting of the stockholder of the West
lnghouse Electric Manufacturing company
today George Westinghouse, president of
the company, w charged openly by stock
holder with launching private ventures
with the company's funds. The directors
were charged with aiding him In this, but
after a bitter squabble the slated board
of directors was elected and the official
coterie won out.
Jamea Carrothers, one of the minority
stockholder led th 'Opponent Of Me.
Westinghouse. The Incident grew out of
the report of the company. Mr. Csrrothers
called attention to the asset in which was
stock and bonds of the Urkawanna &
Wyoming Valley Rapid Transit company,
t6,SO0,000. Mr. Carrothers wanted to know
how much was stock and how much was
bonds. '
There was a hot discussion and it devel
oped that the capital stock of the Lacka
wanna A Wyoming Valley Rapid Transit
company Is $3,000.(100 and the road cost
about $6,000,000. No one was sure that
these figures were correct, and there was
more or less confusion.
Finally Mr. Carrothers said:
"We have $6,000,000 worth of bonds and
$300,0i0 worth of stock. Who has the re
mainder of the stock? Thl company fur
nlshel all the money that Is spent on the
road and gets only $300,000 worth of stock.
Why should not this company have all the
stock if It pays for the road?"
No one present was enabled to explain
the report in detail. The adoption of the
report waa moved by John Gregg, one of
the director, who aald:
"Before we close I want to know from
whom the stock of thl rapid transit com
pany was purchased. I understand that
these stocks were purchased from Mr.
Westinghouse, that this is a private corpo
ration and that Mr. Westinghouse unloaded
the stock on thl company."
A vole waa heard. "At twice it value."
After several calls for a vote the report
was adopted, the old board of directors was
re-elected, with the exception of Jamea
Hasen Hyde, who I succeeded by T. W.
Siemon, and Frank H. Taylor, whose place
Is taken by W. D. Uptegraff.
The meeting held today was the first
held since July 23, HOT, nine years ago,
when the stockholder met at the plant in

that Thaw hd been the principal caller
upon Miss Nesblt.
"The day I got there," said Miss Crane,
"a terrible row had taken place, and Mrs.
Nesblt had been put out of the apartment
by Thaw, who acted like a maniac. Mr.
Thaw was nearly destitute and but for the
arrival of a woman newspaper writer, who
had gone abroad with the NesMts and been
left behind in London, she would never
have got bnck to the Vnlted State. The
newspaper woman aided Mr. Nesblt with

cause why he should not be punished for
contempt for violating a temporary In

company, restraining the city from pro
ceeding further with the tearing up of
the street car rails in Fulton street, which
was begun by a force of several hundred
men, under the personal direction of Mayor

away the tracks was well under way when
the restraining order wa served on the
mayor and no attention was paid to It.
The mayor put the papers In his pocket
and ordered the work continued.
The matter is the only outgrowth so far

Telegram.) Royal was the welcome ac
corded the trade excursionists todsy. All
along the line from Valentine to Rapid
City the whol population greeted the vis
itors, and if the latter ate one they ate
half a doxen times, such was hospitality
shown them. At Merrlman, a town of lf)
people, the boosters were escorted to a
little grove by the depot and served with
a lunch consisting entirely of articles
bought In Omaha. At Gordon the women
served Ice cream, lemonade, rake and
cigars and would take nothing but sou
venir in return. Frank Currle of Chad
ron was among the hosts.
Chadron' depot platform was so
crowded with cltlxens It was with diffi
culty the boosters alighted. They were met
by Mayor Donahue, members of the city

assured its people they could sell their
stock In South Omaha at better prices
than any city on earth and could buy
goods in Omaha cheaper than in any city.
Short addresses were made by Mr. lager
and J. F. Houghton.
Arthur Smith replied, thanking Chadron
for loyalty to Omaha, which loyalty, with
the prosperity of the surrounding country,
had helped make Omnha what It Is. He
took occasion to refer to Omaha politics
and pleased his hearers when he said Mr.
Dahlman would make a good mayor and
would get many republican votes if he
ever ran for governor. Chadron people
were Invited to the Ak-Sar-Ren festivities

Big Dny for Dahlman.
Other towns stopped at were Rushville and

black bass caught from the Niobrara the
day before. Women and children were
decked from head to foot with souvenir.
Mayor Dahlman was the center of attrac
tion, for everybody In Valentine bs
known him for years. After patting ba
bies on the head for awhile, Mr. Dahlman
was persuaded to sit for his picture on a
pony. Dave O'Brien came by and the
mayor started after him, swinging a
lakso. Mr. O'Brien ran and dodged well,
but was stopped in his mad flight by a
dexterous throw, which showed Mayor
Dahlman had not forgotten his cowboy
training. Attention soon shifted to Clarke
Colt, who was forcibly kissed by a Sioux
squaw, whose fancy he had caught. He

unharmed.
Short stops were made at Crookston,

The Omaha water board, at an adjourned
meeting held at t o'clock yesterday after
noon, appointed Mortimer E. Cooley of
Ann Arbor, Mich., to be the city's repre
sentative on a new appraisement board in
the event that the appraisement of the
ater works, made by the lust bosrd,
should not hn held good, as the water
board's lawyers contend.
The appointment of a new appraiser on
behalf of the city Is said to be simply
the next Btc;i In the procedure outlined
by the lawyers to head off the $,00fl.od0
appraisement, which the water board un
dertook to reject, alleglnft that only two
of the three appraisers had agreed to II,
that It was excessive ami that It was not
fairly made. The appointment will prob
ably be followed up by official notifica
tion of the water company and demand
that It name a new appraiser on Its side,
which demand Is sure to be Ignored It
Is said, however, that the lawyers want
all of these motions made In order to
bring that Into the rase, which Is Impend
ing In the federal courts. In which the
water company haa applied for a writ of
specific performance in the sale contract.
The new appraiser, on the part of the
city, Is the brother of Engineer Cooley of
Chicago, who Iras employed by the water
board as an expert In presenting testimony

Questioned.
WASHINGTON. July 3K.-An order was
made today by the Interstate Commerc
commission on petition of the Chicago
Great Western Railway company, the Chi
cago, Burlington & gulury Railway com
pany, and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railroad company for a rehearing In
the matter of allowances to elevators by
the I'nlon Pacific Railway company.
The petitioners allege that the I'nlon Pa
cific entered Into a contract with Teavey
ft Co., under which the latter company
erected grain elevators at Council Bluffs
and Kansas City for the transfer of gralu
for the public from the incoming cars of
the Union Pacific to outgoing cars of the
connecting lines at thesn terminal points
of the I'nlon Pacltic and for this service
the t'nlon raciflc agreed to pay Feavey &
Co. lt cents per hundred weight. The com
plaining railroads allege that the facts are
"the elevators of Peavey & Co. were not
i built for su.-h purposes and never have to
any considerable extent. If at all, thus
transferred grsln for the public, but were
built and have been used solely and exclu
sively for their own use In the grain trade."
I Local Opinion of Suit.
Nothing In railroad rate matter recently
has created the Interest among local trafflo
men that this news has. It Is generally
regarded as another victory for Stlckney.
"When the old man gels after you you
better run," was the sententious expres
sion of one railroad man when he read the
report In The Bee yesterday evening.

Peavey A Co. b? which the Vnloti Pacltlo
agrees to pay 14 cents per hundred for
grain elevated. The conditions now ar
slightly different from what they were at
the time of the other hearing, the Union
Paclllo having strengthened Jts position by
publishing a tariff granting elevation to
all elevators on the Missouri river which
will perform the service. When the con
tract was entered Into with Peavey & Co.
It was understood this company wa to
build elevators at Omaha and Kansas City
to receive all the grain coming In over the
I'nlon Pacific and to transfer It to other
lines to carry beyond. The complaint Is
that the general public was not Invited to
use these elevators, but they were used ex.
cluslvely to handle the grain coming from
the lines of elevators of the Peavey com-

Interstate Commerce Commission decided
the I'nlon Pacific company had a perfect
right to pay this elevation charge on ac
count of its situation. Omaha and Kan
sas City are the terminals of the Cnlon
Pacific and that company Is willing to pay
1 n cents per hundred to have its car
emptied and returned to it inside of forty
eight hours so they can be sent back for
another load. The contract with Peavey
& Co. has stood, and In addition a contract
was entered Into with the Trausmlssis
sippl Grain company similar to that of th
Peavey contract.
When Mr. Stlckney began his agitation
against the payment of elevation charges
at the Missouri river th t'nlon Pacific
thought to strengthen its position by
making the rate open and agreed to pay
1 '4 cent per hundred to all elevator
which would perform the service of un
loading these cars and getting them back
to the Union Pacific Inside of forty-eight
hours. This removed the exclusive nature
of the contract and gave all elevator an
even break. A cruaad was started and
all other roads have stopped the psyment
of elevation charges except the I'nlon Pa
cific at Omaha and Kansas City and th
Rock Island at Kansas City.
I'nlon Pnrlfle' Attitude.
Th I'nlon Pacific claim tht by the
nature of it position in terminating on
tho Missouri river it lias the right to pay
this service for the prompt delivery of it
car, it being worth that much to. get the
car back immediately. Time was, not far
back, when several elevations were paid.
The road tired of thl Snd rut out th
elevation allowance and cut th rata,
which they said was th same to them.
They claim It I better to hav a lower
rate than to be handing back rebates a
the shape of elevation allowances.
It wos the announcement of the Union
Pacific that it would pay the elevation
allowance to all elevators performing the
service which brought on thi recent rate
war with the. Burlington. The Burlington
reduced Its rsto and refused to pay eleva
tion. This war has been settled and all is
running quietly, waiting for something
new to turn up. The date of the hearing
has not been announced, but the Union
Pacific officials say they are ready. They
say they won the case before when their
position was not as strong as It Is now
and when the best legal talent the Bur
lington and the Sart Fe could procure
was engiig-d In prosecuting il,e case,
which was thnr ouni.ly basin d out.
