ST. PETERSBURG, June 19.-Detall of
the mutiny of appers at Kiev how that
It wa suppressed only oftrr a bloody en
gegement at midnight on June 17 between
the mutineer and loyal troops, In which
about seventy men were killed or wounded.
Kiev Is one of the cities where revolu
tionary Ideas have made the greatest In
roads upon the army, and the revolution
ary military organisation Is very power
ful, counting amors; Its members dozens
Of officers.- The mutiny was planned to
coincide with a general political strike as
a reply to the dissolution of Parliament,
Involving the railroads, telegraphs and
malls.
In several of the southern provinces ar
rangements for the strike had been mak
ing for months under the leadership of an
experienced organiser, M. LoskotJ, who
was a member of the first Parliament.
The decision of the revolutionary staff at
Bt. Petersburg to refrain from demonstra
tions was disobeyed by the hot-headed
anppers. At midnight of June 17 600 men
at a given .signal left their berths, dis
armed th sentries, hurriedly dressed, ob
tained possession of their rifles, broke
Into the armory, secured some loaded
cartridge and then marched to the camp
square and fired a volley In the air. The
officer on duty, Captain Akuloff, ran out
and addressed the mutineers, advising
them to disperse. He tlten called out an
other battalion, drew the men up and led
a charge on the mutineers,' ordering them
to surrender. Upon their refusal to do so
Captain Akuloff ordered the troops to fire
and fell dead himself at the first vol'ey.
The fighting continued for several min
utes. Half a dozen, others were killed and
bout sixty were wounded. Finally the
mutineers, with no officers, no leaders and
no plana, wavered and fled. Two hundred
and fifty ' were captured, but 193 eluded
pursuit.
Leniency Csan of Troabio.
The Novoe Vremya, In an article this
iomlng on the mutiny at Kiev, attributes
r
the sedition In the armv first to the cor
ruption of the .-soldier in th Japanese
prison; second to the presence of the Jews
In the army and third, to the leniency hith
erto shown by the military authorities.
The paper claims, however, that the propo
ganda has made but slight progress.
Trouble also has broken out among the
troops of the 'Bird Infantry division, sta
tioned at Kaluga. General Orloff, who
suppressed the Insurrection In the Baltic
provlpees, left 8t. Petersburg hurriedly
last night to take charge of the garrison at
Kaluga. No Information Is available as to
the nature of the trobule, a atrlct censor
ship on all Incoming prss dispatches hav
ing been Instituted slnoe the dissolution of
Parliament. The dispatches of the Associ
ated Press from Kiev, detailing the mutiny
there, were turned over to the censor and
held up for from twelve to fourteen hours
before they were delivered.
The workmen of Moscow are becoming
restless and the commandant of that city
has brought twenty-two companies of In
fantry Into the place to overawe the men.
Several big meetings of workmen In the
Moscow suburbs have been broken up.
Wholesale aVreata .continue In Bt. Peters
burg. The preparation for the registration for
the election of the new Parliament have
already begun.

TELEGRAPHERS WILL STRIKE
General Kaeratlve Board Has As
Approved Movement Aa-atnst
Twe RIa- Comnaalru.
NEW TOHK, Jane 1. The general exec
utive board of the Commercial Telegra
phers' union haa approved a strike against
either or both the Western Union and
t'ostai leiegrapn companies. This an
nouncement waa made today by Deputy
President 8. J. Konenkamp of the union.
The date for the beginning of the strike
Is left to President Small, but ' the first
move Is expected to take place m the next
week or ten days. Mr. Konenkamp said,
when questioned, that a tax of one day's
P Pr week has been levied against all
the members of th union.
Notwithstanding the strike announcement
Commissioner of Labor Nell Is continuing
his Investigations with a view to an ad
justment of the controversy and has today
been In consultation with the officers of
the Civic federation as well as with those
of the telegraph companies and the union.
Local officers of the Commercial Tel
egraphers' Union of America have nnr
. -
been notified officially of the calling of a
strike of the operators employed by the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies In New York City. As the
differences between the telegraph com
panies and their employes exist mainly
those who were In business a quarte
of a century ago have forgotten Its ef
fects at the time.
"For years the operators have remained
passive and submitted to rules and regu
lations inimical to their interests.
"The present threatened trouble was
brought about by the failure of the tel
egraph companies to live up to their
promise to , Increase the wages of their
employes, which was announced ' two
months ago. The men claim It was not
a general Increase and that It only ben
efited a few of the operators.
"Our officers and member In New Tork
also have proof of discrimination and In
timidation toward the union and the In
troduction of a 'sliding scale,' which, they
claim, haa made conditions actually worse
than before the announcement of the ad
vance In wages.
"I do not believe that the telegraph
companies are aware of the numerical
strength of the commercial operators.
In view of the alleged: discrimination and
discharge of operator because .of their
affiliation with the union, a 'secret list'
In every city In the country haa been
maintained and a great many operators
have come Into the afganlxatton under
thl protection. ) ..
"W expect to receive, notice of aa as
sessment within the ,nexf Jay r two and
they will be rtet by aver?' Union operator
In the city.
"Of course we are fioplng there will be
no strike, but should we be called, upon,
the men affiliated with us In Omaha will

SPEND TIME IN ARGUMENT
Attorneys Discuss Value of Miners'
Magazine aa Evidence.
SEEK TO' BIND HAYWOOD BY IT
Richardson Admits Some of Articles
Were Intemperate Called
Them Merely Newspaper
Abase.
BOISE, June 19. The entire morning ses
sion of the Steunenberg murder trial was
consumed In hearing arguments on the ad
missibility as evidence of the editorial ut
terances of the Miners' Magaxlne, official
organ of tho Western Federation of Miners,
as to Frsnk Steunenberg and others con
nected with the labor troulles of the miners.
On both sides the argument was based on
the Chicago anarchist cases, the defense
contending that by no construction could
the authority In that case be made a guide
here and the state that It covered the very
propositions Involved here.
Judje Wood took the artlclea for examina
tion and adjourned the trial at 11 o'clock
and promised to rule at 2 o'clock In the
afternoon. 1
Senator Borah commenced the day' pro
ceedings by offering and speclllcally nam
ing the artlclea In tha various numbers of
tho miners' magazine which he offered as
evidence. To the Introduction of each ex
hibit the defense made general objection
and stated that they would present speclflo
objection to each. The general objection
was that the evidence failed to connect the
defendant with the murder of Steunenberg.
Th naming and describing of the articles
In the magaxlne took nearly half an hour.
The article themselves will be read to
tha Jury later If the court admits them
a evidence.
Ordinary Newspaper Abase.
1 F. Richardson presented the argument
for the defense against the admission of
the magaxlne articles aa evidence. He
maintained that the articles offered by the
state failed to show that the defendant
had, through these articles, contributed
anything that might lead to the murder
of Governor Steunenberg. He admitted
that some of the articles were lntemperato
In tone, but were nothing more than ordi
nary newspaper abuse.
Mr. Richardson quoted from the record of
the case of Spies agatnst the people and
the ruling as to th admission of news
paper article. In the case of the Miners'
Magaslne, he said, the articles did not
compare In tone with the violence of the
artlclea In the Spies case. Richardson read
at length from the evidence In the Spies
case, the letter from Herr Moat to Spies
and other violent matter published at the
time.
Use of Force Counseled.
Throughout these letter and other mat
ter force, dynamite, murder and wholesale
revolution was counseled. Mr. Richardson
pointed out that these letters were printed
In anarchist newspaper published by the
defendants In the famous anarchist trials
resulting In conviction and execution,
Roada Anarchists' Writings. r
' Mr. Richardson' reading of the anarch
ists' revoluntlonary writing fn the eight
eases, created a sensation. He gave de
clamatory emphasis to the -fearful, advice
looking to the wholesale destruction of all
who stood on the side of law and order. It
was a page from the criminal history of
this country unread by a majority of those
present In the court room and the extrem
ity of the language used by Johann Most In
writing to Spies and th defendants
themselves In their editorial was com
pared. The avowed purpose of Richard
son's exhaustive quotation from the news
paper publications In the anarchist case
was to show the tamely abusive character
of evidence offered by the state In the
Miners' Magaxlne.
1 Continuing his argument, Mr. Richardson
said that in none of the artlclea In the
Miners' Magazine waa there direct or Im
plied connection with the murder of Gov
ernor Steunenberg." He admitted Hay
wood's prejudice against Steunenberg be
cause of his course In Idaho, but he pointed
out' that "tens of thousands and hundreds
of thousands .of people In this country"
condemned or approved the course adopted
by Steunenberg and that those who con
demned should not be held responsible for
the governor' murder.
Borah oa Part of Stat.
Senator Borah argued for the state that
the Miners' Magazine should be admitted
because It showed the enmity of an organ
uiinn nf which tha defendant. Havwood.
! and other .defendants were the officers. He
pointed out that the state did not offer
the articles aa evidence, relying on them
to prove their, charge of murder, hut in
order to help he , Jury In determining,
among the circumstances, what was the
animus of the Western Federation of Min
ers of which Haywood is the secretary
and treasurer and the Miners' Magaxlne aa
the official organ.
Senator Borah, with quoting from the
articles, said that these articles did advo
cate force and that they advised the mem
bers of the organisation to arm themselves
with rifle. He maintained that if the evi
dence of newspaper articles was admitted
In the Spies case, the evidence of article

CLAIM JUGGLING OF TICKETS
Dvlesates to Land Convention In
sist on Redtalrl hntton of
Same at Denver.
T1ENVBR, Colo., June 19 At the open
Ins; of the public lands convention today
Fred P. Johnson, secretary of the conven
tion and a member of the general com
mittee, announced thnt the work of the
committee on credentials had been handi
capped by Indiscriminate Itsulng of dele
gates' tickets, and declared tliut all of the
work would have to be done over, it being
Impossible to separate the accredited dele
gates from others holding dchgate tickets
who were not entitled to them. In order
to avoid the possibility of a charge that
the convention is Inimical to the admin
istration the general committee had en
trusted to Mark Woodruff of the Pike's
Peak forest reserve force the duty of re
ceiving credentials and Issuing tickets, and
by Innuendo he was accused of attempting
to defeat the purpose of the convention by
Issuing tickets to supporters of the admin
istration who were not accredited dele
gates. Kveiy delegate was required to
present his credentials again and get a new
ticket.
Ample opportunity was given the dele
gates to air their grievances regarding the
regulations and restrictions on the use of
tho public lands enforced by the federal
departments and set forth their views as
to the policy which the government should
adopt on these questions. All resolutions
Introduced were referred to a subcommittee
of tho committee on resolutions, consisting
of Frank 11. Porst of California, Clarence
B. Douglas of Indian Territory, E. W. Ross
of Washington, Patrick Sulllvsr. of Wyo
ming and S. Luna of New Mexico,
The first subject on the program today
was "The Public Land Policy, Past and
Present." Tho discussion was opened by
Congressman Robert W. Bonyngo of Colo
rado. The first report of the committee on cre
dentials precipitated a lively debate when
It was discovered that the committee had
given to Colorado one vote for every dele
gate present and one for every delegate
accredited, making a total of 4M. With
the other states only those present were
given votes.
Murdo McKenzle, president of the Ameri
can National Live Stock association, and an
adherent to President Roosevelt's leasing
policy, led the attack on the report. Sena
tor Warren seconded McKenzle. He de
manded to know whether the convention
was a meeting of Colorado people or a
meeting of the people of the entire west.
The report was referred bock to the com
mittee with orders to bring In a report In
accordance with the call.
To Congressman Frank W. Mondell of
Wyoming had been assigned on the pro
gram the subject, "The Government as a
Landlord." He traced the various steps
taken of late leading In the direction of
government landlordism and characterized
President Roosevelt' plan to provide for
the government control of government pas
ture lands of the west on the same gen
eral principle which now apply In the
government control of the forest reserves,
as. the "most tremendous and sweeping
grant of arbitrary power and authority ever
proposed to be granted In time of peace to
an executive officer of the government."
