The lack of union amon. the leader of the proletariat organisations is playir.g against the success of the move ment. The railroad men. upon whom the success of the entire mo ement depend, are still working full time. The leaders of the rill-rsd organizations ars hesitating about Issuing a call for a tla up. They fear be ing deserted a nddlseredlted by their ma terialistic followers, who are no more re sponsive to tha avowed pretext of this strike, namely, sympathy with the muti neers of Sveaborg, Cronstad and Reval, than they were 'to the similar reasons given for the abortive strike of last November. Tha railroad men have been Intimidated yy the recent making of strikea affectlnv communications penal offenses. The law providing severe punishment waa enscted with direct reference to general strike. Will Blow Tp Bridges. The council of workmens' deputies, which met secretly at Teriokl. Finland, continued Its session until a lste hour yesterday morn ing. The deputies were so Incensed at tha timidity displayed by the railroad men that they decided to resort. If necessary, to tha blowing up of bridges and the de struction of the roadbeds, etc., to bring the, transportation service to a standstill. Representatives of all the revolutionary parties and emissaries from Moscow, Kleff, Riga, Odes and other cities were present at the meeting. The telegraphers thus far have been appealed to In vain. The flnnl meeting of the council still Is being held at 1:30 this morning. The (list break In tha ranks of the St. Petersburg strikers occurred yesterday, when the printers decided to return to work. - The employes of severe', streef car lines end river ferrlea have resumed work. A steady downpous of rain all day long rreveited the open air gatherings scheduled fr the day In Bt , Petersburg, and. the . qnnr.gjje.nt possibility of collisions and dis orders. Theday wis' without Incident except 'for the departure for Cronstadt of the eighteenth naval equlppage. There was a large number of drunken men among these sailors. - ' Conditions In Interior. Telegrams from the Interior throw little light on the manner In which the country may be expected to respond to today's call for a strike. There has been no cessation In the number of robberies and murders in the Interior. The government attaches much Import ance to the decletlon of the Poles in the Minsk j-onsress against the principle of expropriation and In favor of acquiescing In the dissolution of the lower house and preparing for new elections. This action Is regarded in administrative circles aa al most equivalent to the withdrawal of the property classes of Poland from the revo lutionary movement. The Novoe Vremya, which Is the only newspaper appearing, except In dodger form, devoted a large portion of its space this morning to an article prophecylng war between Japan and the United States, and predicting a sure and speedy Jspanese vic tory, the seizure of the Philippines and Hawaii and the occupation by tha Japa nese of California. ehnstopol Is Issolated. ODESSA, - Aug. 8. Telegraphic communi cation between here and Bebastopol has been interrupted for the last forty-eight liours. Governor General Kaulbara has not yet 'returned from Bebastopol. Flashlight signals were exchanged at midnight last night between the roof of the . commandant's residence here and a torpedo boat In the harbor a few miles at sea. Thereupon the destroyer started at full speed towards tha Crimea. .. There is a certain apprehension of Im pending events. For the first time in two weeks Cossacks appeared in town lsst night, forming double , guards . at the residences of tha governor, the perfects and the com mandants and at public buildings.

Peters burg to a general strike hss met with the approbation of the workmen here. The pos tal, telegraph and telephone employes to day expressed to the Associated Press their willingness to strike and even an officer of Cossacks said he viewed the strike with satisfaction.

The defendants In the action were Ware as Griffin of Clark; Wyman. Partridge A Co. of Bt. Paul; tha Manchester Biscuit compsny of Bloux Falls, and Jewett Bros. A Jewetl of Bloux Falls. Last May, upon application of the defendants In the action, Haagensen was declared an Involuntary bankrupt and a receiver waa appointed to take charge of his property. On June 1 a hearing In the case was held, snd ss a result of tha hearing Judge Carland revoked his order sppolnting the receiver and ordered the receiver to turn over to Haagensen such property as bad come into his possession through the receivership. Hasgensen was awarded a Judgment for the customary costs, but believing he had been damaged, he filed an application asking that the decision revoking the order pointing a receiver be amended to the V nt of awarding him damages ror me his business had been In charge of 'ver. application the defendants filed snd Judge Csrland now has decision sustaining the ds The receiver appointed In Msy renv murre. wss not required to furnish a tsahd. The decision of Judge Carland concludes aa follows: "There having been no bond taken In this case, either pursuant to statute or the In herent power of the court, Haagensen ha no remedy In this present suit for dam ages suffered, except the allowance of costs, which waa made In the decree en tered." It is thought in some quarters that Haag ensen will now Institute an action In the state circuit court for the, recovery of damages sgalnst those of his creditors who sought to have the appointment of the receiver msde permanent.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 5 American Am bassador Thompson haa- received replied from American consuls and consular agents throughout the republic on the consensus of which Is thao there Is no ground for alarm on the part of Americans or foreign ers. The consuls report tranquillity at all points save some labor agitation at rail way centers. The railway strike on the Mexican Central has been conducted in a peaceable manner, the men participating simply walking out and Indulging In no violence.

Sheriff Dunkel. accompanied by Albert Smith, a fellow employ of Hamlin and who waa In the party when John Hamlin shot Mlsa Rachel Enl. Otis Neumann of the Independent and Beit Watts, a deputy, re turned at 8 o'rlock this morning from Dannebrog, bringing with them the would-be murderer of Miss Enrel. who Is ssfely lodged In Jail. There Is at present no un easiness ss to any attempt at mob law, though during the Inst two dsys of the carnival, with Its hlg crowds, considerable talk was heard along this line. Miss En gel Is this morning reported to be In prac tically the same condition. The paralysis Is still complete. It le possible that the X-ray will be used to locate the bullet. In which event the young woman msy be taken to Omaha if able to undergo the trip. Hamlin went from the Kent bsrn In a d'J' north direction, tsklng the Bt. Psul road. He was seen going through St. Llhory In the night. He ran Into a rainstorm and his progress was thereafter slow. He was compelled to walk a great part of the way and finally, yesterday, laid down to rest. He fell asleep snd does not know how long he slept. About six miles from Dannebrog hla wheel broke down, he ststes, and he abandoned It on the prairie. He was drenched to the skin. Story of the Arrest. Hamlin walked Into Dannebrog about 6 o'clock last night. Going to Woods' restau rant he called for supper. The description of the would-be murderer had been sent out thoroughly, not only In the Immediate vicinity, but to all points In the stste, and Sheriff Dunkel and Special Officer Bowers of the Union Pacific had a complete net work laid for the man, and with especial reference to the home of a sister. In Wayne county, whither, they believed from the first, he would work. Mr. Woods, there fore, suspected at once, when this stranger called In the little village, that he was the man wanted. He notified Irvln MrFarlan, a special detective In the village, who called In the marshal. Mr. Peterson, doubting his own authority to make the arrest. When these had returned to the restaurant Ham lin had gone to the telephone office to call up Charles Wicker, a neighbor of the step father of the girl. Hamlin gave the name of Emerson at the restaurant. At the tele phone office he gave the name of Thompson. He did not get to talk over the phone before Deputy Sheriff' Dunkel. snd O. E. Hart, who had been scouring the northern part of the county all day, drove Into Dannebrog. Hamlin knew the deputy and at once con fessed that he was the man they were looking for. but said, at this time', that he did not do the shooting. The sheriff did not know that his brother, the deputy, would be In Dannebrog and thus' was on the way before the news reached here that the deputy was on hand. When tha sheriff's party arrived Mr. Smith st once positively Identlfled Hamlin, and Hamlin, then In charge of the Dannebrog marshal, remarked that he was sorry It was not Smith that hsd been shot Instead of tho girl, though he evidenced no great Inter est In the condition of the young woman. Tho party- started at S rjUUock , lor Grand Island.' " ' Hamlin Fears Mob. . . Hamlin, when approaching Grand Island, remarked that he had Intended to get a rig and drive back" to give himself up. It was remarked by one of the party that it may have been well he did . not as there had been some talk of lynching, at which he wss surprised and somewhat slarmed. He talked little, but smoked Incessantly. Hamlin will be held without formal com plaint for a few days until the outcome, as to the girl, can be better determined. He has no family connections here. He has a sister In Wayne county, the only known relative, but the authorities have not, so far, her address.

The greater number of these counties failed to instruct for any candidate for United States senator, al though Brown secured Johnson county's ten votes and Oirrle and Evans as favorite sons were given Custer's seventeen votes and Platte's twelve votes respectively. The Brown prognosttcators at Lincoln had given out forecasts claiming for him not less .than half the delegates to be elected last week, but In this he failed to make good, resolutions of instruction In his favor being voted down In Franklin, Furnas and Harlan counties, which they were confidently counting upon. SI coun ties which did not instruct for any par ticular candidate for senator, nevertheless adopted resolutions endorsing convention nomination and Instructing delegate to sustain the call In that respect. On the governorship, Sheldon sdded Johnson county to his list, giving htm total Instructions aggregating thirty-eight, and Kearney county brought out Btate Senator Harsh, making now, seven entries In-the gubernatorial list with at least an eighth in- prospect.

Norrls Brown is counting on getting instructions from Otoe, Richardson, Frontlsr, Nuckolls, Clay, Pawnee, as well as several minor counties. Sheridan will promulgate the candldaoy of Charles Weston for governor and a number of booms for other state officers are on the boards. The primary preliminary to the Dodge county convention is on for August 9, with a hot fight assured to determine whether Ross Hammond can fulfill his contract to deliver the delegation to Brown and Sheldon. , in Congressional Contests. The outcome last week In Nemsha and Johnson, both of which Instructed their congressional delegates for the renomlna tlon of Congressmsn Pollard, Is supposed to have settled that question by giving him a large margin over the majority neces sary to nominate. Judge Jessen, however, has not publicly withdrswn from the recs and will probably ask for his own county, while It is known that a number of Lan caster delegstes would bresk away from their Pollard Instructions if they had half a chance. The First district contest haa developed considerable bitter feeling be tween the friends of opposing candidates. In the Third district Stanton county has pronounced for W. W.
