fill ll} GE if if fifloscow Populace lll’l iii infuriated at Cruelties of the Troops. A despatch from Moscow says: The number of strikers here was increased by the bakers joining the ranks. llrcad is procurable on Sunday at double price, but there will be none. on Monday. No newspapers are printed here, and even St. Petersâ€" burg papers are scarce, the striking printers; haVing waylaid the supplies and torn them to pieces. Sunday the. crowds on the Iverskoi Street; boulevard assumed threaten- ing proportions. The police and mil- itia, horse and foot. with the ('o::â€" sacks, were fully prepared. 'A pitched battle took place. Troops, who fired three volleys point blank at. the peo- pleywere met by the crowd with stones and revolvers. It is impossi- ble to estimate the casualties. as, acâ€" cording to custom, immediately the mob was dispersed the streets were 'cordoncdv and the dead and wounded removed into yards, the. gates of which‘ were closed. It is feared that the workmen to the number of 80,- 000 employed in the great factories may join the demonstration. The populace is exasperated to the last degree, less by the open street fight- ing than by the action of the police against all after the disturbance had been quelled. This action, barbarous to a. degree, was a repetition of what happened earlier in the year. The prefect has issued a proclamation which places the police and troops in absolute possession of more rights than a. civilized army would employ against an enemy in time of war. In, virtue of the proclamation, the police Isl-1'70 any person they please. An} ipretvxt is sufficient for an arrest. After the fighting was owl", boys and youths, men and women, were lthe gates of which were then closed. 'l‘hereupon begun what is known as giving a lesson to the tunis." Scores were taken to a long .stuble, along the side of whhh were ‘ drawn up two lines of pic'netl troops, mostly Cossacks. The vii-.‘inis were made to run the gauntlet. 'lhere. “‘t'l'c 50 men on each side. who brutally struck then. with whips and the butt ends of rifles. The. victims of this ferocious ln'ulality are forced to run the gauntlet until they drop fainting or dead. They are then picked up and removed to prison. the infirmary, or n'iortnary. 'l‘he unfortunate creaâ€" tures are taken street to this peculiar llussian form of execution without thepvssibility of offering any defence or hearing the accusations made against them. It is stated that a bomb that was thrown at the (lame Market. on Sunâ€" day killed 12 COSsaek patrols. It is impossible to confirm the report, but it is certain a number of rirlerlcss Cossack horsns returned to barracks after the collision with the mob. BOMBS TllllOWN AT rFIFLIS. A despatcli from rl‘iflis says:â€"â€"ch- eral bombs were thrown at Cossacks on Sunday evening. The troops fired and a general panic ensued. Many persons were killed or wounded. ____â€"_____._..____â€"-â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"-â€"~â€"_-â€"-â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"‘â€"_ SMALLER OUTPUT OF GOLD. Dry Summer Has Interfered With Mining Operations. A despatch from Ottawa says: Mr. Joseph chlc, of the Geographi- cal Survey, returned to the city on Thursday from the Yukon. Mr. Keele Worked in a. practically unknown dis- trict about 400 miles up the Stavâ€" art River. The country in that secâ€" tibn was rough and mountainous, and was peopled by only a few trapâ€" pers and traders, with whom the Iiiâ€" dians of the Mackenzie trade. There were indications of good deposits of iron, galena, coal, copper, and gold, specimens of which Mr. Keele brought home. Mr. Keele said that the yield of gold in the Yukon this year would be less than last season. The reason for this was the unusual dryness of the Summer. Another thing inter- fering with the yield was the passâ€" ing of many mines into the hands of larger companies with bigger outfits. When, however, these comâ€" panies get down to business the out- put would be much larger, as their equipment would enable them to work low-grade mines. Mr. Kcele saw no signs of exhaustion in the Yukon, and . thought it would be« come a permanent mining camp. â€"â€"â€"+ WEST IS BOOMING. So Says Hon. Frank Oliver on Re- turn From His Tour. A despatch Hon. Frank Oliver returned to the city on Friday evening. During his trip West he visited the Yukon and on his way back tool; in the Port- land Fair. The Minister says that Seattle still does considerable busi- ness in the Yukon, although Canaâ€" dian merchants are steadily obtain- ing a larger share of the business. Mr. Oliver referred to the possibiliâ€" ties, the great development, and prosâ€" perity of the. West. The season had been singularly prosperous, the yield of wheat phenomenal, all financial iiiâ€" Vestments in the West had been most successful, and it was natural that, under wise guidance, the future hapâ€" piness and prosperity of the citizens of Alberta and Saskatchewan would be assured. As for the City of Edmonton, it was rapidly growing in population and importance as a great railway centre. .â€"_â€"+ DOGS AS MUTTON CHOPS. Large Number of Poodles in Par‘s Sold as Food. A (lespatch from Paris sawsâ€"For the last month a large number of poodle dogs have been missing in Paris, and the police have been inunâ€" dated with complaints lodged by the aggrieved owners, in most cases women. Careful investigations made by the police have resulted in the discovery of several persons who make a fairly profitable business out of capturing the animals, slaughteiu ing them, and selling their lesh to the. proprietors of cher restaurants, who pass it oil as mutton. The dog stealers are being prosecuted. +___ ITALY AGAIN SHAKING. Earthquake Lasting Two Seconds Felt at Bologna. 'A desnatch from Bologna, Italy, safitfiâ€"An earthquake was felt here at 2.26 o'clock on Friday morning. The tremor lasted two seconds. MANY WERE DROWNED. Jap Fishermen in British Columâ€" bia Suffer Terribly. A despatch from Vancouver says:â€" In the worst equinoctial gale ever experienced here a number of Japan- ese fishermen. variously estimated at six to forty, were drowned on Friday morning in the iulf of Georgia. James Allen was killed by :a falling tree. at Howe Sound, and telegraph and telephone wires all [over the district were blown down and considerable other damage done. To cap it all, two earthquake shocks frightened the people of Nanaimo, and made their buildings tremble, shaking dishes off the shelves to the floor. About. one hundred of the Japanese craft were fishing the storm broke. on Thursday night. Through the dark hours they fought for life, but before morning broke the storm had redoublcd in fury. Several of the fishermen were drowned, and many others were only rescued by the bravery of the crew of the tug Lorne, who at the risk of their lives and while the waves were swirling in torâ€" rents over the deck of their own craft, saved the Orientals. tion twenty boats, with their fishing gear, were lost. â€"+__.__ JAPAN’S FUTURE. Invitation to Foreign Capital Be- gins to Bear Fruit. A despatch from Tokio says:â€" Baron Shibusawa, addressing the As- fl‘om Ottawa sal'Siâ€"ysociated Chambers of Commerce, said [the development of trade communicaâ€" ,tions and carrying power was of the, 1greatest importance to Japan. He ‘criticized the ultraâ€"pessimistic view taken of Japan’s financial future, ,and said he was confident of greater. development of Japan’s resources and ‘also thbse of Corca. g The Baron said he was highly de- lighted to find that his efl‘orts while traveling abroad to invite the investâ€" :ment of foreign capital in Japan were bearing fruit in the present coâ€" operation of foreign capitalists. He believed they would find an extensive field of activity in this part of the world, and especially in Corea. While admitting that. Japan was heavily in debt as a result of the war, the Baron said he believed that adequate efforts on the part of the business men of Japan would open a way to increasing the wealth of the empire. .__,_____,._.__ WIIEAT GRADING HIGH.

SNAKES lN THE WINE. iStartling Discovery in Montreal Custom House. A Montreal despatch says: The long suspected affinity betwetn the wine and the serpent was proved in ,a startling manner at the. customs {house here. on Friday morning. An ‘oflicer who had been testing several i’carbovs of port wine from China reâ€" ported he had discovered snakes in the,wine, and. as he had not been in the habit of "seeing things," his statement received credence. Reâ€" turning to the wine with other ofâ€" ficers, he showed how, in testing, in ithe contents of one, of the. carboys he. had seen a snake through the wine. and so the vessel was opened for inspectction. To the astonishâ€" ment of all, the remains of several snakes and a lizard were found in ,ndicate that they had been placed there for a purpose. The snaan Were taken to the City Hall and the Chief Food lnspector drew a sample of wine to test its proocrties. The consignment was addressed to a local Chinese merchant, and when an inqniry was made about the snakes all that could be learned from that source was “Muclice good; cure sole .heaclache; got Ieuinitism, eatee some snake.” _+_._.__ MANUFACTURERS GROWING The Value of Products $500,000,000.
