burg, hao met with only slight" t.'V'
in other sections of Russia, probably
be derided today by an adverse express, y,
of public opinion. 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.

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

NEW QUESTION IN BANKRUPTCY
Sooth Dakota Merchant Falls to net
Damages from Creditors Who
Plied Petition Against Him.
8IOUX FALLS, 8. D.. Aug. 6.-(8peclsl )
Judge Carland of the United States court
in this city, has sustained the demurrer in
the case of Ole Haagenaen, a merchant of
Clark, who sought, to recover damages
because some of Ms creditors recently a t
tempted to have him declared an Involun
tary bankrupt.
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

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.

ALL IS QUIEJ IN MEXICO
Vnlted States Consols I nsMe to Find
Any Gronnd for Alarmist
Aatl-Forelsrn Repc-i.
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. The leaders In the railway men's
union have again called on the American
ambassador. They say there Is no anti
America n movement contemplated by rail
way workers.
The Imparclale charges that recently cir
culated bills warning Americans to leave
the country before September 18 were cir
culated by an unknown American, who
went from station to station distributing
and posting the pretended proclamation.
The Imparclale also asserts that certain
railway companies In Texas and California
have taken part In promoting the circula
tion of false and sensational reports.
The circulars were apparently signed by
the Mexican league of Railway Employes,
but this group of worklngmen declare posi
tively that they had nothing to do with
tha matter.

JCHN HAM1IN UNDER ARREST
Maa Who Shot Miss Kuael at Grand
Island is Canaht at
Dnnnehroc.
GRAND IBLAND. Nefv, Aug. (Special.)
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.

Comparison of this tabulsr exhibit with
thst of a week ago will show that sixteen
republican county conventions held In the
Interval have added 130 delegates to the
number chosen, making a total elected to
date of 638 out of S87 that are to sit In the
state convention. 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.

From this It will be seen that twenty
counties will name 161 more delegates by the
end of the present week. 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. Young, and Dixon
will this week declere for McCerthy, put
ting all ths avowed candidates In the flell.

A number of fishermen who mad
tempts at rescue were drowned. ,

being without food or clothing. "'
Vessel Strikes Reef. ,

Cape Palos.
The Blrlo was owned by the Navtgaa
Itallana of Genoa. .
Before he committed suicide, th captain
declared the steamer had 46 passengers
on board and tha the crew num
bered 127 men. The Blrls had 870 passen
gers when leaving Genoa, but addi
tional Spanish passengers wer taken , on
board at Barcelona, wher the vessel
touched a few hours before the disaster.
The dlssster occurred at 8 o'clock rer
day afternoon. The steamer was thread
ing a difficult passage through th Hormi

Is a continual menace to navigation. The f
vessel began to settle rapidly Immediately I

Condition of Survivor Deplorable.
. The survivors have gon into camp on
ine main square oi urn town v -ym-Palos.
Here, harrowing scenes ara en
acted aa the stricken families anxiously
seek beloved members among the rescued.
A mother who lost her three children
went insane. The doctor of the Blrlo gav
up hla wife and child as lost, but they
were finally brought In by one of th res
cuing boats, and the scene aa this family
was reunited was most affecting. One
of the boats sent out by the fishermen
brought In twenty-four passengers.
The condition of the survivors is' most
deplorable. They have lost everything
and are without money, food or clothing.
The maritime authorities of Cartagena

circus and the poor house are being used
as temporary quarters for the survivors.
The latest reports from the cape say
that three boats have Just brought In a
number of rescued.

cuing operations were drowned in conse
quence of the overturning of a boat.
Th captain of the Slrto. Just before he
killed himself, attributed the wreck to bis
own Imprudence.
