TIIE DAY IN WARSAW. A despatch from Warsaw says: There were ninny sanguinary conflicts here on Wednesday with revolutionists, who have organized wholesale massacres c'f pot, gendarmes and infantry patrols. These conspirators shot and killed seventeen policemen. four gen- darmes and seven infantry patrolmen, and wounded a snore more. Soldiers tired a volley into a crowd. killing fif- teen and wounding with bullets and bayonets 130 others. The massacre is supposed to have been planned by revolutionists in revenge for the arrest recently of 110 Socialist workmen in the iron working suburb of Braga. It was a (:ntholic holiday and no one sus- pected that a .massacre was in prepara- tion. The weather was beautiful, the city was calm and thousands of people were crowding outgoing excursion trains. Simultaneously the attacks on policemen began at 10 o'clock in the morning. About 1 o'clock in the after- noon news began to nrrive from all parts of the city revealing the con- certed nature of the attacks. In Ostrot•- akaia street four men attacked a ser- geant of police, but the latter was able to bag three of thea), who were armed with revolvers. in a light in 'forgot la street revolutionists shot down two patrolmen and a Jew ish merchant was killed by a stray bullet. provinces is no better. It is feared that the Autumnal recruiting will increase the disorders. Altogether nearly half a million recruits will bo called to the colors.

Trouble Arising out of Attack by Greeks on Bulgarians. A despatchu from Sofia says: The anti -Greek outbreak at Anchialos turns out to have been more serious than was at first believed. hive hundred houses were burned , including all the public buildings. 1t appears - at the primary cause of the trouble was the conduct c,f the Greeks, who tried to prevent a Bul- garian meeting. The promoters of the meeting invited the neighboring pea- santry to attend. When they began to arrive the Greeks received thein with rifle shots. The peasants forthwith re- turned to their village's to procure arms. They returned and attacked the Greeks, who barricaded themselves in a church, where there was fighting all day. The police were unable to disperse the pea- sants and the Greeks refused to cease their fire on account of the hostile atti- tude of their bishop, who commanded them. Then the troops were g,urn- moned. The nearest of thein were dis- tant 70 kilometres and they arrived too late. The peasants had already set fire to several houses. Eight charred bodies have been found thus far. DRINK PROVED FATAL. Fredericton Business Men Took Poison in Mistake for Water. A despatch from Fredericton, N.B., says : Albert E. Edgecornbe and L. A. Tibbits, of this city, were poisoned here on Wednesday night. They had en- tered a jewellery store and sat down to talk with the proprietor in the back shop, While the proprietor went out to see a customer Mr. Edgecombe picked up a jar which he thought contained water and took n big drink, followed by Mr. Tibbits. The jar really contained cyan- ide of potassium used for cleaning sil- ver. It took effect at once and both men diem a little later. They were two of the moat prominent business men in this city.

A Regina despatch says: With tt.is left. jaw shot away by the discharge cf a gun in the hands of Josiah Gilbert, as farrier living six miles south of Pilot Butte, Barrett Henderson, a wealthy cat- tle dealer from Charlottetown, P. E. 1., slid the rnan who took the first cattle in on the hoof to Dawson City, died on Wednesday afternoon in Regina hospital while undergoing un operation for his injuries received in the horning on the former's farm, and Gilbert is now lying in jail charged with killing. The dead man owned a section adjacent to that of Gilbert, and recently bought the lat- ter's farm. According to Gilbert's story, ilenderson went over to the farm on Wednesday morning after some sup- plies, and while Gilbert was. getting his gun out from the barn to shoot a gopher it was accidentally discharged, shatter- ing Ilenderson's face. The injured mart ran two hundred yards crying that lie had been murdered, and Gilbert ran after hien flourishing the weapon. The Royal Northwest Mounted Police were quickly on the scene, but the chances for the roan's life were slim from the first. Great local interest attaches to the case, as the Gilbert family is well known, the old men, Josiah, having the reputation of being something of a crank and it is alleged that he bitterly repent- ed the sale lie had made to Henderson of the family homestead.

A despatch from London, England, says : A wilnctss at the Guildhall Police Court, in giving evidence against a prisoner charged with stealing 50 Can- adian cheese, valued et £150, asserted that when Canadian cheese deteriorated in quality it would be impossible to identify them, but when they left the docks in perfect condition the witness would be able to identify them apart from the marks on the cases. He went by the smell and taste. It was a com- mon practice for merchants to put in- ferior cheese into boxes with sell - known brands. I'cople who expected to buy Canadian cheese were anxious to get it, but whether they got it was another question. -!-- SETTLERS FOR CANADA. Salvation Array to Send Out 25,000 Emigrants.

The chief parties ti' this agreement were "the revolution- ist George Dekanosi, one Grusier, and the well-known politician Konni Silia- cus." These omen "received money from Akashi to buy weapons, and it was agreed that th;' arms were to be used by the Russian Social -Democrats, the Grusierian revolutionists, and the Polish and Finland Socialists."

ANOTIiER CARGO. r Another ship, a steamer, caught fire near the Finland coast, and the subse- quent investigation showed That it was packed with an immense quantity of rifles, cartridges, and so forth. And on August 28 there were found on the island of Kolgmar ever 700 rifles. an immense nm(unt of revolutionary liter- ature, and quantities o1 anununiti.en. All of the arms found were of Swiss manufacture." The same journal avers that "the revolutionists of Moscow - during the rebellion of December, 1905 -were all armed with Swiss weapons," and thinks that these munitions probate ly entered by another ship which landed safely. This vessel was fitted out "by George Dekanosi, it sailed from Mar- seilles to Batutn, and reached port safe- ly. The captain of the ship was a Dutch Nihilist." NIHILIST PARADSE.

The character of the paper is well indie'ntcd by the following quo- tation: '\\'c call upon whoever has the material-nnrans, to help our work; we exhort all who have a wont 10 soy for the cause, to say it. And we call for help front all llussinns w he fur not con- tent tt ith the Russian Government, who can not tolerate the horrible condition of things in Russia to -day.
