fif/é’w Slitlll KILL 01110 A Serious State of Affairs in the Russian Army. The Tlmes‘ correspondent at St. Petersburg cables as follows :â€"â€"Schepkin has returned from Bialystok with evi- deuce that minor police officials insti- gated and organized the massacres, higher officials observing a benevolent neutrality. Disaffection in the army steadily inâ€" creases. Two garrison artillery batta- lions at Sebastopol mulinied, but were disarmcd. Soldiers at Krasnoyarsk wounded a colonel and killed a captain. Both had sabrcd men while in a state cf intoxication. At Riazan the mutineers killed nobody, because they aimed high. The mutiny is reported over, all the men’s demands having been granted. A strike of the dockers at Rybcnsk serious- ly interferes with the grain trade. DETAILS OF MUTINY. The Associated Press cables from St. Petersburgzâ€"A serious mutiny, which for a time threatened toiplace the forâ€" tress of Sebastopol in possession of the mutineers was suppressed yesterday, according to a special despatch to The Novoe Vremya. The mutiny was started by a battalion of fortress artillery which declined to obey orders, whereupon the men were promptly disarmed. The two battalions then mutinied and took posâ€" session of the guns in the north shore batteries, but on the appearance of several loyal regiments of infantry the mutineers abandoned the idea of fight- ing and returned to their barracks. General Nepleuff, commander of the fortress of Sebastopol, is represented to be greatly concerned about the temper of the sailors as well as the soldiers of the fortress. MORALE OF THE ENTIRE ARMY SHAKEN. That the morale of the whole army is being shaken by the revolutionary ' propaganda is proved by the continual extension of the rebellious outbreaks among the troops. It appears to be con- firmed that the Boltschoff regiment at Ryazan has driven out its officers and burned the armory. Another report says the soldiers deliberately attacked the officers’ club at Ryazan, killing one offi- cer and wounding two others. A panic prevails in the town. Four companies of the Viborg regi- presented demands which were acceded to, and they have now returned to duty. The soldiers of the notorious Semenâ€" ovsky regiment, whose name became synonymous with repression owmg to the deeds committed by these troops at Moscow, are reporth to have held a meeting and to have decided that they cannot any longer endure the public opprobrium, and must wipe out the. stain on the regiment. The tenderness with which the military authoritiesare treating these and recurring exhibitions of the mutinous spirit among the troops is sufficient evidence that they fear the. entire army is infected. _.__.â€". “DOWN \VITI-I THE JEVVS." A despatch from Berlin says: An in: habitant of Bialystok, Russm, who was present during the entire . massacres there and who has arrived in yBerhn. has given the German-Hebrews Aid Society an account of the recent events there in part as follower; ’ ‘ “June 14 was the fortieth anniversary of the compulsory adhesion of many Catholics to the Orthodox Church and a celebration of the event was elaborately planned. The police and military were fully armed, apparently prepared for a conflict. Though there were no vi51ble enemies, the Jews became alarmed and sought hiding places. On Thursday processions of Ogiodox Russians and Catholics to the nurth began and were apparently passing without IliCl- dent. Later an uproar began at one ipart of the processions, and the rumor 'spread that. the Jews had thrown a bomb into the crowd and were tearing a Russian priest to pieces. The crowd shouted ‘Down with the Jews!‘ and thereupon roughs armed with clubs en- tered the nearest Jewish houses and brought the inmates out, destroying whatever they found within. “The military in the meanwhile began firing upon the houses of prominent Jewish townsmen, and Jews were hauled from their houses, beaten to death and their bodies mutilated beyond recogni- tion. “The Jewish shops in the vicinity in the meanwhile were plundered, rumans taking away all the portable valuables. Furniture, mirrors and pianos were deâ€" molished and the remains thrown into the street.” The account goes on to tell vividly of ment stationed in St. Petersburg have [the revolting scenes that followed.

River â€" Improvements, (‘ry For Help \Viii be Great, Says Immi- gration Official. A Winnipeg despalch says: “Not for many years has there been such a short.- age of labor as this season,” said J. J. Golden, Provincial Commissioner of Im- migration, on Thursday. “There has been so much railway construction in progress and the roads are so hard up for men that they are snatching up every available hand. However, even witli the railways eliminated, it would be impossible this summer to supply lht demands throughout Manitoba and the West for farm help to gather the harvests. liven now we cannot meet the demand, and as the Slimmer advances the cry for help is going to be enorm- ous. My estimate now is that there will be needed at least from 20,000 to 25,000 men to harvest the crops.” Among the immigrants who will ar- rive in Winnipeg on Saturday will be thirty-two fishermen from Stornoway, of the Island of Lewis, which belongs to the Hebrides group. The immigration authorities are puzzled where to place the fishermen from the faraway islands as they know nothing of farming. -«-â€"+â€"â€"â€"- CHURCH GUTTED BY FIRE. Hamilton’s Central Presbyterian Badly Damaged. A Hamilton despatch says: Central Church, the leading Presbyterian church here, situated at Jackson and McNab streets, was gutted by fire early on Wednesday morning. The fire, which was supposed to have been caused by electric wires, broke out shortly before 1 o‘clock. There was some delay in giving the alarm. and when the fire- men arrived they had work cut out for them. The smoke was so dense that it was hard to locate the fire, but after water was poured into the building for some time flames burst out of the front and side windows, which were all blown out. The firemen prevented the flames from spreading to the Sunday school, but the inside was gutted. The loss will be heavy. The church was built many years ago, and was one of the hand- somest in the city, having been improved several years ago. A short time since a fine new organ was installed. Rev. Dr. Lyle is the pastor. â€"â€"â€"-K u-d-l +â€"â€"‘u-Iâ€"3 CATHEDRAL DESTROYED. Magnificent Structure at Nicolet, Que., a Prey to Flames. A despatch from Nicolet, Que, says: Fire broke out in the cathedral on Thursday night, utterly destroying the magnificent structure, together with the old parish church, Convent of the Sis- ters of Assumption and the residence of Monsicgneur Suzor, late Bishop of Nicolet. The loss is estimated at about $400,000, on which there was partial in- surance. Three, hundred Sisters were in the convent when the fire broke out, but they had time to escape. not, however, before many had fainted and some. of the older ones had bi‘come hysterical. Fortunately, the children who go there to study had returned to their homes for holidays. If is not known how the fire originated. The local fire brigade was quite overpowered, but assistance came from St. liyacinthe. 4 WILL ENFORCE LOCAL OPTION. The Government Appoints a Special In- spector. A Toronto despatch says: In .‘p ap_ pointmcnt of J. Ayearst, of Thmm. ville, to be l’rovinCial Inspector, undo]. the Liquor License Act, the omino 'Govornmcnt has again exemplified jig- desire to enforce fully the law as 1:, is at present. This new OfliCiai will be emu played for the spec-ml purpose of seeing, .that there are no Violations or evnsmnsi ‘oi the statutes in local option districts. Such a position was provided for by 1m.I liquor License Act, as it stood, mm. z-xeu to the amendments of last session, *lul no steps were taken to fill it. The dulv of seeing that liquor was not sold‘ .in local option municipalities was left to the inspectors of licenses within whose jurisdiction such places existed. These officers are not olisolwd {mm that duty now. but they will have the aid of a new authority. who will travel inbout the province, visiting local 0p_ tion districts. CAR RAN AMUCK IN STREET. _‘ Vehicles Crowded Excursionists. Dashed Into Willi A (lespulch from London, England. says: One of the. worst. disasters in the history of electric tramway traction in this country occurred on Saturday in the vicinity of thcfamous llighgale Arch- voy. One. of the Middlescx County Council's splendidly equij‘ipcd trams got out of control and dashed at fearful speed down the incline. 0n the way down it crashed into and overturned a funeral coach and finally dashed into a motor omnibus and another electric tramcarat. the foot of liighgale Hill. The two latter vehicles were, crowded with Saturday afternoon excui‘sionists. On flit way down the car, which had at- tainid a speed of sixty miles an IiOtli‘.‘ wrecked a number of small vehicles. The motor bus was smashed to pieces and hurled through a neighboring shop fiont. There were extraoxvlinary scenes of panic. The dead and injured were lying about like soldiers on a battle- field. Threc persons were killed on the spot. and some forty injured. Some of the latter are not expected to recover. __._.+____. DEAD UNDER CAR. A Prominent Citizen of Montreal Run Over. A despatch from Montreal says: John Morrison, one of the best. known citizens of Montreal, was knocked down and killed by a street. car on St. Lawrence Main Street on Sunday morning. Mr. Morrison, who was in his 74-01 year, had been out. for a walk and was returning home. While crossing Pine Avenue, on the main street, a car on its way down town came along, and before Mr. Morâ€" rison, who was not Very active, could get out of the way. he was caught. by the car and dragged under the wheels. both of his legs being severed. He was dead when removed from under the car. Deceased was a noted character in h 3' way. and had been a familiar figure in financial circles for many years. \‘.’lieii in his Gflth year. Mr. Morrison. \\ ho had been a bachelor up to this age. married a young woman. and as he ‘ml nr other relatives his large estate v.i!l revert to her. .______+____,__.. TOLD FRIEND TO FIRE. “’as \Viliiam Ryder Shot Dead by Miisey Kincade. A Sussex, N.B., despatch says: .W’rl- liam Ryder, eighteen yeais old, lies dead at his home at Jordan Mountain, about twelve miles from Sussex, as the result of a shooting accident which occurred on Saturday morning. Ryder and Mil- sey Kincade, a fourteen-year-old lad. were at the Ryder home, and Ryder passed Kincade his rifle, telling him it was not loaded, and if he doubted it to point it at him and fire. The boy did so, but unfortunately the rifle was loaded, and Ryder fell to the floor un- conscious. He died six hours later. The charge entered Rydcr‘s forehead, crushing it in and putting out both eyes. Some shot also lodged in the el- bow, which goes to show that he must have had his hand to his forehead when the gun exploded. ___... KING IIAAKON CRO W’NED. An Imposing Ceremony in the Old Norse Cathedral. A Trondhjem dcspcrtch says: King llaakon, son of the present King of Dcnmark, and Queen Maud, daughter of King Edward, were on Friday crown- ed King and Queen of Norway, in the cathedral here. The coronation cere- monies, which were very elaborate, were conducted by the Bishop of Trondhjem, assisted by the leading Cabinet Ministers and Chief Justice cf the Supreme Court. After the anoint- ment of His Majesty by the bishop, the latter and Prime Minister Michelson cojointly placed the crown on his head, after which Foreign Minister Loveland and the bishop conjointly handed him the sceptre. After a prayer offered by the bishop, the latter and Interior Min- ister Arctander conjointly handed the King the orb, and later War Minister Olsson and the bishop handed the sword of State to his Majesty. These cere monies were followed by the benedicâ€" tion. ._..___+__.__ KILLED BY EXPLOSION. Bad Accident in the Dominion Carriage Works. A Montreal despatch says: George Fisher, foreman in the priming room of the Dominion Cartridge Company's works at Brownsburg, Que, (lied on, Saturday morning of injuries sustained in an explosion at the works on Friday. At the time of the explosion he was alone. and it is supposed he was en- gaged. as usual, pouring primers from one box to another, when in some un- accountable manner there was sufficient Ilit'liOn to produce an explosion. Fisher’s body when found afterwards was filled with primers. his face and hands being i-adly Iat'EI'tlth. Almost all his clothing was torn away. He was still alive, but unconscious. and re- mained in that Condition until next morning, when he expired. The prim- ing room was budly wreckcd. ._.__.+___.
