Awful Tales or Anarchy and Suffering From Russian Provinces. Peasants in Volga Province Will Rise if Land is Not Given. St. Petersburg, Sept, 3.— Premier S'tolypin has sent a circular to the gov- ernors, instructing them not to be dis- mayed by the threats of acts of the ter• rorists, as he is sure the population gen- erally will eventually come to the sup- port of the authorities in the war against the revolutionists. The court which has been hearing the charges against newspapers has perman- ently suppressed the Nasha Shisn for violation of the press laws. M. Vodevo- zoff, its editor, has been sentenced to a year's imprisonment in a fortress. Love Braves Siberian Rigors. Sebastopol, Sept. 3.—Admiral Sk yd- loff, coommander of the Black Sea Leet. has received a number of applications from women who desire to marry sailors condemned to be exiled to Siberia, for mutiny, and accompany them to their places of exile. Several of such requests have been granted. Discussing M. Witte. Moscow, Sept. 3, The Viedomosti, the leader of the reactionary press of Russia, created a sensation to -day by printing correspondence exchanged be- tween M. Usefovich, who holds the rank of State Councillor, and who is Presi- dent of the Monarchical party of Kiev, and Dr. Von Miguel, the German Charge d,Affairs, at St. Petersburg. From the letters printed it appears that upon the publication of the recent report that Emperor William had invited Count Witte to Wilhehnshohe, M. Usefovich, in the name of "All the factions of the Russian Monarchical party," telegraphed to the German Emperor, expressing deep regret that 'such a splendid monarch and ]lead of the friendly German people" should receive " a man whom the whole Russian people regarded as being the guilty author of the miseries into which the country was plunged and the provok• er of the terrorism inspired by hostility to the Jews, to whom he is friendly." Several days later M. Usefovich, ae- eroding to the Videmosii, teaeivedc through Dr. Von Miguel, a letter saying he had been directed by the Foreign Sec- retary to say that the telegram of the Monarchists was based on me:appre- hension, as Emperor William had not re- ceived Count Witte and had no intention of receiving him. Reply Distorted. St. Petersburg, Sept. 3.—Dr. Von Mi- guel ,the German Charge d'Affaires said that by direction of the German Foreign Minister, Herr von Tschirsky, he had re- plied to M. Usefovich, but, in a sense, his reply had been distorted. He simply wrote that the telegram of the anar- chists was based on an erroneous im- pression, as Emperor William had not made known to any one his intentions regarding Count Witte. Awful Tales of Misery. St. Petersburg, Sept, 3.—News from the famine stricken provinces is of in- creasing gravity. By the end of Sep- tember, the famine will have spread to the governments of Kazan, Simbisk, Sa- mara, and Saratoff . The zeinstvo treas- uries are exhausted and the whole cost of feeding the population will devolve upon central administration. The quan- tity of grain needed in the above govern- ments for food sowing will be 800,000 tons. Incendiarism Rife. To -day's telegrams from the provinces give a fearful picture of murder, pil- lage and incendiarism from one end of the country to the other. The entire harvest in the Prujan districts, besides a large number of cattle and agricul- tural machines, has been destroyed by fire. In Mordovo, there has been enor- mous damage from fires. In the Roman district, fires are nightly destroying the houses, furniture, corn and hay. From Brestlitoffsk come telegrams similar to those from many other parts of Russia. Subscriptions are being opened for the famine stricken peasantry and appeals may be made to foreigners. Troops Required. In Samara Governmient troops have been called, out twelve times in the last few weeks to suppress agrarian disor- ders. The most serious one was at the township of Tcherka+ti, a place of 15,000 inhabitants., which is known as a revo- lutionary 'centre. A large store of bombs and arms was discovered there. The police commissary who went there to make an investigation, was received with rifle shots. IIe returned the follow- ing day with a detachment of infantry, and an engagement ensued, the peasants firing on the troops, from ambush. They repeatedly fired volleys and finally storned the village. The German colonists in the provinces of Samara and Seratoff, who for gen- erations have materially contributed towai'l raising Lae agricultural pros pests there, are .s+ellbtg their famme at normal prices and; emigrating from Russia. Peasants May Rise. Despatches from Saratoff say the peasants in the Volga province are talking of a general rising at an early date. Nothing will satisfy them now but the distribution of all land. They hew, lent ready ear to the agitators, :pro are swarming about these prov- inces. It is quite common to bear parties of peasants singing the Mar- seillaise on the piers 'while awaiting river steamers. A party of armed non forced an en- trance inrto the female ward of the zentastvoe hospital at El a+tesi.noslhv and rescued as poisoner. The price of re- volvers in Moscow has risen. 150 per cent. .Sixteen fresh battalions of troops have .reached. Warsaw in addition to 1,- 200 Cossacks. The introduction of new repressive measures is expected. , There were 135 arrests in .Moscow yes- tenclay, and 100 civilians were taken from St. LTetensburg to Ceonstadt to- day on a charge of complicity in the recent mutiny at Cronstadt, VIOLENT WiND STORM.

EMPRESS OF IRELAND ESTABLISHES A NORTH ATLANTIC RECORD. Montreal, Sept. 3,—Rintouski, Que., Aug. 30,—The importance to the world at large of the Canadian route between Europe and America, was demonstrated and emphasized by the arrivaf here this afternoon of the II. M. S. Empress of Ireland, bringing the Anglo -Canadian mails and the blue ribbon of the North Atlantic by 'both routes, either via tho north of or south of Newfoundland, now belongs to the Atlantic service of the Canadian Pacific Railway Co, The Empress of Ireland's time from Liver- pool to Rimouski, 5 days, 22 hours, or from Inishthrahall, Moville, Ireland, to Rimouski, was 5 days, 10 hours and 30 minutes, which is four hours faster than that made by any steamship of this or any other line between these points. She had on board 299 saloon, 322 second cabin and 832 third class passengers, a total of 1,443, and the mails for China, and Japan. The mails for those two latter countries were not discharged here, but were carried to Quebec on the steamer, where they will immediately put on the new overseas mail train of the C. P. R. ••e MR. DEWEY'S NARROW ESCAPE. Division Freight Agent of G. T. R. in an Elevator Accident. Buffalo, Sept. 3.—Mr. C. A. Dewey, the division freight agent of the Grand Trunk Railway at Toronto had a nar- row escape from death yesterday after- noon while riding on an elevator in the Birge building here. Mr. Dewey and other railway officials were in the ele- vator, when it suddenly was pinned be- tween the first and second floors of tho building. For an hour the men were imprison- ed in the elevator shaft, which is of the walled variety and when finally the en- gineer of the building made an attempt to extricate them by cutting away part of the wall of the elevator shaft. Mr. Dewey was the first one to try to step from the elevator to a stepladder. The air was not shut off, however, and as soon as part of Mr. Dewey's body left the elevator the car shot up, catching Mr. Dewey half way. IIis friends in the car immediately grabbed and yanked him in the car again, and it stopped once more, this time, however, near enough to the sec- ond floor to allow the imprisoned ones to get out, 1 i BRYAN'S VIEWS. TRUSTS THE PEOPLE TO THINK F' THEMSELVES. New York, Sept. 3. --Just before Mr. Bryan left he was prevailed upon to give expression to his views on certain sub- jects,. His remarks were brought out by a question in 'which he wale asked: if he would co-operate with Governor Folk, of Missouri, in a set propaganda of Democratic doctrines for the next two years. "I have not co-operated with anybody thus far." Mr. Bryan replied, "but I want to co-operate with everybody who holds the sante views I hold and who wishes to co-operate with me." After a moment Mr. Bryan continued: "The popular idea in the east is that mud" good results from two or three men getting together and arranging things for the masses. I believe now, as I have a,luays believed in the past, that the people are capable of thinking for themselves. 1 believe in the people thinking and acting for themselves. In that way they get best results.' GEN,'QUEN TIN BANDERA, Insurgent Leader in Havana Province, Cuba, Who Was Slain in Battle. "HOUSE OF LOVE" RAIDED. Marriage Syndicate Leader and Woman Decoy Now Behind Bars. New York, Sept. 3.—The "House of Love," headquarters of the Upper West Side Marriage syndicate at No. 323 West Eighty-secoue street, which still houses Mrs, Isabella Brown, associate of Mrs. Bina F. Vcrrault-Ilamilton, was broken into yesterday by detectives and a dep- uty sheriff, after a hand -to -]rand battle with Gregory Allen, who tried to keep the officers out. Allen barred Detective Sergeants Mc- Donough and Beery, armed with a war- rant for the arrest of ltirs. Brown, on a charge of grand larceny, from the outer front door, and when they had broken that in fought thein tooth and nail. The two detectives and Deputy Sheriff John Haslett, finely fought their way in after the sheriff had broken in the in- ner door and placed Mrs.Isabe]la Brown under arrest. The detectives also arrested Allen, charging him with resisting officers of the law. Crowds gathered about the en- trance to the "House of Love," after it became known that, the detectives bad arrived to arrest Mrs. Brown, and the fight between Allen and the detectives was watched by scores of men and wo- men. The detectives secured their warrant from Assistant District Attorney Lock- wood ,on the complaint of Susan Rabel, a Syrian lace dealer, at 20 Reotor street. The detectives gave Mrs. Brown ten minutes to get ready, and told her if she was not prepared to go with them in that time they would take her as she was and put her in the patrol wagon. Then she hurried into her dressing room. Allen had followed the detectives up to the second floor. IIe showed some disposition to renew the attack on the detecti.es, and they also placed him under arrest, putting handcuffs on his wrists to stake sure that he would be more easily handled henceforth. Meanwhile the deputy sheriff and Ha- bceb went through the house from top to bottom. They searched every closet, clothes press and corner, and discovered a quantity of laces which Habeeb declar- ed belonged to ]aim. They were confis- cated under the writ of replevin by the deputy sheriff. CUBA'S REBELLION. GENERAL SITUATION DOES NOT SEEM TO IMPROVE. In Some of the Provinces the Insurgents Are Surrendering, But in Others They Appear to be Gaining Strength —The Railways Threatened. Havana, Sept. 3.—The surrender to- day of some of the more vigorous insur- gent leaders in the provinces of Matan- zas and Santa Clara, and the coating in of a scattering few insurgents in re- sponse to the Government's proffer of amnesty is vastly more than offset by the insur ent sentiment looming strong- er daily in the country districts of the provinces of Havana, Pinar del Rio and Santa Clara and which now is re- ported to be gaining headway in San- tiago, from which province, however there is as yet no report of the exist- ence of organizd bands. The insurrec- tion in the province of Pinar del Rio has spread to the north coast, and the town of Cabanas is now in the hands of the insurgents who are reported also to have gone in the direction of Bahia Honda. UNHAPPY SANTO DOMINGO. Another Revolution, in Which Fighting is Sharp. Cape Ilaytien, Hayti, Sept. 30. Ad- vices received here from the Republic of Santo Domingo say that after the insur- gents had occupied Dajabon, in the northern part of the country, the Clov- ernment forces made an attack upon it and compelled the enemy to abandon the town, leaving General Alejandro Mar- eado and five mon killed on the field.

Story That The Pope Will Dispense With Car- dinal's Services. MRS. eSTANF FORD WRITE, The Widow of the Man Whom Harry Thaw Billed. Mrs. White Has Sailed for Europe, and, it is Said, Will N of be Present at the Trial of Thaw. Paris, Sept. 3.—The Petite Repub- lique says that Cardinal Merry del Val, the Papal Secretary of State, will soon be supplanted by a prelate who will be more conciliatory in his attitude toward France. The decline of Merry del Val in the favor of the Pope is due, the Pet- ite Republique says, to his failure to submit to the Pope an authentic report of the meeting of the French ,bishops on Aug. 13, at which they are said to have approved unanimously of the Pope's en- cyclical upon the French. Church and State separation law. It was .on this incomplete report that the Pope based his subsequent unconr- pionhising pronouncement against the law, which be has sin ee modified on real- izing that a mistake had been made. Hence the contemplated removal of the Secretary of State. TWO SiSTERS, ONE HUSBAND. Man Evades first Wife and Escapes Wigging. New York, Sept. 3.—Mrs Adele Crom+weld, who is the widow of Lieut.

Bold Step Taken by the Actor -Manager of the Garrick—His Lettere to the Editors—Some Critics Ignored a New Play Last Night. London, Sept. 3.—Actor-Manager Ar- thur Bourebier, of the Garrick Theatre, has'notified London ,editors that he has decided not to aavite the dramatis critics to attend his firet nights, nor any other nights during the first 'Weeks of his productions. If any of them wish to come latter on they may secure paescs by asking for them. In a note to the editors Bourchier says: "Mr. Bourchier sincerely hopes be will have your co-operation in what he believes to be a most helpful method to assist dramatic criticism front sinking into the obscurity of mere reporting, wdrieh the present system of writing as inept time owing to the lateness of the hour now necessitates. Apart from this, a piece is naturally ,seen under ;fairer advan- tages to the play and the players after the first few performances.'
