Reports of the mutiny, which occurred while the battleship was at sea, are difficult to obtalu. as the mutineers refuse to allow communication with the shore, but it is ascertained that it arose from the shooting of a sailor who was presenting on behalf of the crew a complaint against bad food. According to one version, this sailor, whose name was Omiltchuk, objected to the quality of the "borchich," cr soup, and was immediately shot down by a mess officer. The crew then rose and seized the ship and the officers, eight of whom were spared on condition that they joined the mutineers. The others were killed and their bodies were thrown overboard. After a period of vacillation the Kniaz Poterakine headed for Odessa arrived here, accompanied by the two torpedo boats, the crews cf which had joined the mutiny.

It w:is visited by thousands of persons, many of whom placed coins in a basket at the head of the body as contributions toward a fund to defray the cost of the funeral. An inscription on the breast of the dead sailor states on behalf of 'the crew that Omiltchuk died for tho truth because he presented a just complaint of the crew. The authorities have made no attempt to remove the body, the sailors bavins served notice that the ship would open fire oil a^y one seeking to interfere with it. A police agent vieitlug the spot was killed by strikers. In the course of the day a red Cag was hoisted on the Kniaz PotDmkinc. and members of the crew rowed from ship to ship in the harbor, forcing tho stoppage of all work 011 them. Food was supplied to the mutineers by sympathizers on shore, who pillaged the maritime storehouses. In the evening a bomb was thrown in Cathedral Place, killing its thrower and a policeman.

"It is thougkt that it may become necessary to summon foreign warships for the protection of the foreign colonies. Collisions between the mobs and the police and military resulted in the loss of seventeen lives, including three policemen." Another agency dispatch from Odessa says that all the shiping in the harbor was in flames and that the crew on the Ivniaz Potemkine fired a shell, killing four Cossacks and wounding seventeen. According to the correspondent of The .Standard, the quarantine station, harbor warehouses, stores, offices and some ships had been tired by revolutionary bands. Alt the foreign ships, the dispatch said, were preparing to slip I heir moorings in case of need, and the Kniaz Potemkine was playing a searchlight on every portion of the harbor. St. Petersburg.?More serious, in its possible effects than all the defeats in Manchuria or the destruction of Rojestvensky's fleet was the news which reached St. Petersburg that the standard of open rebellion was floating on board one of the Emperor's battleships in the harbor of Odessa and that with shotted guns the mutinous crew, headed by eight officers, were holding the ship agaiust all comers. Consternation in Capital. The authorities were in almost a state of panic, and at the Admiralty consternation reigned. Admiral Wirenius. Chief of the General Staff of the Navy, said that the Admiralty had re ueiveu auvices icgmuuitj tut; uiuuu,), but that he was unable to give details. He frankly confessed that the situation was very grave and that he did not know what to expect. Many Sailors Disaffected. Should the sailors of Kruger's ships join the mutineers , the Government would have to face open revolution, which would spread like wildfire to other towns in the Black Sea littoral. The workmen of all these towns, from which the sailors of the warships are largely recruited, are imbued with the Socialistic and revolutionary propaganda. At Sevastopol less than a month ago disorders were suppressed with difficulty. Every since the war started ugly reports about the crews of the Black Sea fleet liave ueen currenr. Men nave been shot and even officers court-martialed for disobedience, and recently at Sevastopol twelve sailors were condemned to three years' imprisonmenl for mutiny. No better evidence of the spirit ot the crews is needed than an official announcement made by the Admiralty that Admiral Nebogatoff and the other officers who surrendered in the battle of the Sea of Japan would have to stand trial by court-martial upon their return. Practically all the crews of the vessels which surrendered came from the Black Sea. The fact that Odessa is not a fortified port explains why the Kniaz Potemkine is able to lie in the harbor unmolested. The news of the mutiny, coming just at this time, when Poland is in a state of ferment, when agrarian disorders are coming to a head, and when the Government is attempting a mobiliza tion involving aoout i:ou,wu men, may easily precipitate a crisis, and the authorities are endeavoring to keep it from the public. Newspaper Dispatches Stopped. All newspaper dispatches have been stopped, and the newspapers have been forbidden to mention the mutiny. Nevertheless, the Liberals and agitators have many ways of spreading the tidings through underground channels, and in St. Petersburg the news was known in all the cafes at midnight. The Radicals hail the event as the dawn of an actual armed revolution. "The moment for which we have waited has come," said one in front of a restaurant when he heard the news. "Omiltcliuk's name will go down in history as that of a martyr who precipitated a Russian revolution." News has been received of disorders resulting from the mobilization in the Government o2 Poltava, some reservists refusing to appear, and others starting riots. The authovities of Poland are unwilling to dispatch troops, as the entire force available is needed in that Government. The mobilization in St. Petersburg and Moscow becan at midnight. Many of the reserve men who did not respond were seized in the course of the night at their homes. All day long men were being marched to barracks under escort. The workmen were grumbling and trouble was expected. Sixty thousand men have been called to the colors. Of this number about half will be incorporated into regiments. An imperial edict orders the mobilization for active service of reservists in 124 districts of St. Petersburg, Moscow. Kiefif. Warsaw and Vilna. These districts include the City of St. Petersburg and Moscow. Bczabrazoff Threatened. News comes from Tambov Province that M. Bezobrazoif, President of the Yalu Timber Company, who has beeir living on his magnificent estate in that province, has been obliged to invoke the aid of (he military, not only to protect his property, but to save liis life.

Steamship Said to Have Changed It* Course Without Warn Ins ? Schoonei Formerly Was Merchant Vessel. Copenhagen, Denmark. ? A serious disaster occurred at night near here, when the Danish cadet trading schooner, Georg-Stage, was sunk by the British steamship Ancona. The GeorgStage. sank in one and one-half minutes. Twenty-two cadets were drowned and fifty-seven rescued. The boys were all in their bunks at the time of the disaster. The night was overcast, but it was not so dark (hat objects could uot be seen at some distance. Tbe Ancona was considerably damaged along her water line. First Officer Myhre was in command of the Georg-Stage and saw the Ancona approaching. He is certain the steamer changed her course without warning, or there would have been no collision. The Ancona's bow struck the training ship's side and crashed into it seven feet, bringing down the GeorgSbioY-'s mnsts ntirl Hcirinc. The wreckage so choked the gangways that many of the cadets could not gain the decks and, trapped below, were drowned. . Those boys who were not imprisoned by wreckage jumped on board the Aucona and helped to get out her lifeboats. Mylire jumped overboard and helped to save many cadets. The Copenhagen port authorities have placed an embargo on the Ancona. which will remain here until Jie collision is inquired into. The Georg-Stage was a schooner, 20fl tons register, 103 feet long. She was a training vessel for the mercantile nurine and was owned by a private firm of Copenhagen. STOP BETTING AT DELMAR. Sheriff and Deputies Occupy Ring and Make One Arrest. St. Louis, Mo.?Owing to the action of county officers in arresting Charles flpiln n inpinhi>r nf the rtentr.il Turf Association, during the first race at Delniar, there were no official odds on the last five races, and the only bets made were between individuals. For the first time since the anti-betting law went into effect on June 17 the betting ring was deserted by the members of the Central Turf Association, who are behind the plan to make bets 011 the races in a manner not contrary to the law. Sheriff Harpel, of St. LOuis County, accompanied by several deputies, took possession of the betting ring just before the horses went to the post in the first race, but only the one arrest was, made. Cella was later held under; 51000 bond to answer a charge of violating the anti-betting law. Governor Folk, in an interview earlier in the day, had declared that either the Missouri National Guard or, the St. Louis Police Department would be directed Within the next twentyfour hours to raid the bookmakers at Delmar race track. The Governor has discovered that Section 14 of the St. Louis charter gives the city of St Louis the same powers in the county as in the city. TRAIN SMASHES LOADED CAR.

Altogether there ? ( are ten regiments encamped in Lodz. At Baluty, u suburb of Lodz, four a Cossacks were killed and sixteen f( wouuded by a bomb, which was tl thrown into their barracks. Twenty- h three of their horses were killed. a The soldiers are showing what ap- g pears to be wanton cruelty. Late in b the afternoon they shot and killed two w women?a mother and her daughter. p It is quite impossible to give the ex- p act number of killed and of wounded, b as renorts varv according to the quar- ? ter from which they are obtained. Cer- ti tainly the killed will be over a hun- b dred, possibly two hundred, and the w wounded five times as many. s; The present trouble began at Lodz after the funeral of the victims of the b conflict between troops and Socialists w the previous Sunday. The Christians o were permitted to bury their dead, but it the Jews were prohibited from doing l so and the police secretly interred the l; bodies of the Jews ai night, which ex- s: cited indignation, and Socialist riots b were initiated. The most serious phase o of it was when the crowd deliberately v pillaged liquor shop3 and numbers of b persons, inflamed by drink, led a crowd v of at least 50,000 to further and more fi serious attacks. Pblicc and military a were attacked wherever they appeared c iu small force and many individual ti members were killed. ti The fury of the mob found full vent, and even children, caught by the con* I( tagion, were seen kissing red Hags q and heard swearing that they were tl ready to die for liberty. A Jewish girl mounted a box in the market b square and addressed an immense . s crowd. o Suddenly* the police appeared and u fired a volley and the girl fell dead, s Market gardeners coming in were tl stopped and their carts were used in building barricades. Wires were p stretched in front of these barricades I and the cavalry was unable to charge, ii Meanwhile the mob had secured ?.rms ii and revolvers were freely used. Fi- a nally the military secured the upper tl band, but not without considerable b Posses to themselves and fearful slaughter to the rioters. The soldiers Ii exhibited the utmost carelessness as 1 to whether tlicy killed peaceful persona li or rioters, and as a consequence many d women and children were among the v dead. v The streets resembled a battlefield. -The houses were barricaded with 2 boards and mattresses .and for hours ii volleys and individual firing were tl lienrd in every quarter of the citj*. e Until late at night the Cossacks were h busy collecting bodies of the dead and o picking up persons seriously wounded. The bodies were carried off in carts to neighboring churchyards. Hence the impossibility of giving an accurate es- jtimate of the dead until order is completely restored, if, iudeed, the full story is ever told. 1< DOG CAUSES TWO DEATHS. ?
