CZAR'S TROUBLES INCREASE Revolt at Osowiec Comes on Top of f- That in Autocrat's Own Regiment?Nicholas so Worried He Lost Two Nights' Sleep. St. Petersburg. Russia.?A revolt in ' Osowiec. one ot' the great fortresses ; ' defending the Polish frontier agaiust . .Germany, is rei>orted. ? An arniy officer intimated that the < mutiny is far more dangerous thaD any I previous oue. ; There are few civilians in Osowiec, Ifrhich ranks as a fortress of thi first , class, and is thirty-five miles north- i west of Bialystok. The Czar is quoted as saying that be J (was so affected by t'ue disloyalty of tbe j Pi^obrajensky regiment. which lie had j often honored by weariug its uniform. s that he could not sleep for two nights. [ , The Czar and court are so alarmed c by the spread of disloyalty in tbe t army that the Goreymyken Cabiuet <] probably will be dismissed soon. r It became known that three battal- ^ Ions of tbe Preobrejensky Regiment of f the Guards. "His Majesty's Own," de- ? dared very recently that they would r support the Duma against tbe Govern- t ment This is a startling change of senti- j taent among soldiers who were savage r in putting dowu tbe uprising in Mos- j cow last winter. Besides, the regiment is near the Czar, less than twelve miles ( from Peterhof, iu the big camp of the j .Guards of Kvasnoc-Selo. s As soon as the three battalions de- g clared for the Duma, a large force of v grenadiers, lancers, sharpshooters auu j e.rtillery was thrown around them. a Two battalions recanted. The otlier ij .was disarmed and witli six officers t was sent uuder escort to Medvid to be t tried by court-martial. Other results accomplished by the ? revolutionists are a mutiny of troops c at Samara, where order has been re- \ stored; the shooting by revolutionary y sympathizers of an officer of the uiu- ^ tinous artillerists in the streets of i Batum, and the transfer uuder strong guards of the whole of the Eighteenth t Battery of the Vladikavkaz garrison t p> the Military Fortress at Kars. t B Finding even the Guards disloyal, i the Government grows merciful. It lias hurriedly granted a new trial to b seven men condemned to death at Riga. v acquitted sis others there and com- f muted the death sentences of three y men who killed a foreman of the Put- c lloff iron works here. a Although the Peasants' League was t; forbidden to meet here, representatives of thirty-six provinces met in Finland b and declared their support of the ultra- h radical Group of Toil in the Duma. ii In Altarak and Tauride Provinces r the peasants are abandoning the fields and in Tula Province bands of peasants c are marching through the country, V iragging the workers from the fields tl and the domestic servants of the gen- b xy. The Governor-General of the Bal- w ic Provinces has again given landown- s' 5rs permission to organize armed pa- J! trols. i, The news from the provinces show e that a state of general anarchy is b {rowing. The efforts of the agitators g ? iriduce the peasants working for landlords to strike are meeting with T success. p t!

That Pursuit of Wife l>y Architect Drovo Rich Young Man to Murder. New Yctrk City.?TJpoa a bare recital of the facts attending the death i3? Stanford White 011 the Madison Square Garden roof Harry Kendall Thaw was held by a Coroner's Jury and afterward indicted by the Grand Jury for murder in the first degree These proceedings occurred in tin Criminal Courts Buildine while the body of Mr. White was being interred it St. James, L. I. Thaw's counsel entered a plea of aot guilty for him, and he was renanded to the Tombs to stay there intll the trial. That all the murky past of the >rincipal:i in the White-Thaw tragedy vi 11 be dragged into the public limeight and details of the doings of milionaires whose lives are spent in the .wirling Tenderloin rapids will be old in open court, became practi:ally certain when it was rsserted hat Harry K. Thaw, now in the rombs. will offer as a defense for tue nurder of Stanford White that he vas "emotionally insane' when he ired the shots. The decision to offer (motional insanity as the defeuse was eached by the prisoner's counsel af- 1 er Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton had xamined the murderer for an hour 1 n the Tombs and made a confidential eport to the lawyers of the condition < n which he found Thaw. There were several reasons why he lawyers decided to take chances 1 lefore the jury on the emotional inanity plea. In the first place, it will < ;ive an opportunity to show Thaw vas insane when he shot White, but 1 s perfectly rational now. If the jury < iccepts that view, it necessarily will i ring in a verdict of not guilty and hereby save Thaw from being sent o an asylum for the criminal insane. 1 During the trial, which the defense i lopes will be begun soon, it is prolosed to lay bare the entire life of i Yhite, especially hi? association with oung girls whom he entertained in 1 lis studio in the tower of the Mad- < son Square Garden. It will be proved, it is asserted, hat Thaw was goaded on to commit ; he murder by White himself?that he architect constantly annoyed Eve- ] yn Nesbit Thaw, the prisoner's wife. ( Mrs. Thaw will be a witness for ( ler husband. She has declared her < .'illinguess to tell all she knows. She ully realizes that in doing so sho | /ill subiest herself to a searching i ross-examination; that the District Lttoruey will demand to know in de- j ail of her relations with White. < She says she will "face the music." \ ecause in doing so she will prove ] erself a true and faithful wife, will- \ j ag to stand by her husband in sor- i . ow as well as in joy. j j It is stated that the former j j horns girl will tell how she met | . I'hite. and there is a report that j lere will be testimony that Miss Nes- j ( it when but a mere slip of a girl I , 'as drugged by White the first day tie called upon him in his den in the . ladison Square Garden. It will also be brought out that } ver since Thaw married Evelyn Nesit White had been running after the 1 irl. ' 1 It is said that White had seen Mrs. i ^ 'haw at least a dozen times in the j ; ast year and a half, and that when . hey met casually he had tried to j anew the friendship that had exist- i ( d between them before her mariage. i r * -" TXfli !f a rxrnc* o r?_ It IS UUCli gCU LUUL VV Ultc noa uu- j , ustomed to ogle the. girl-wife in , tieatres and other public places. It ^ 5 claimed that on the night of the lurder she saw White at the Cafe , lartin and that he stared at her and ( ried to catch her eye, until 3he be- | ame nervous. It will be asserted that. Mrs. Thaw J ad been trying her very best to keep way from White, that finally her usband could not help noticing that great change had come over her, hat he questioned her. and that finaly she told him the cause of her t'orry. Thaw was wljito with rage. Mrs. 'haw pleaded with her husband not o pay any attention to White, but "haw said that something must be [one.

The whole train was demolished. Out of forty-two passengers twenty-three were killed and nine injured. Four railway employes are among the dead. Mayor George 13. MeCIellan, of New York, who, with his wife, was a passenger, continued the voyage to Southampton and landing there arrived in London safely. Mrs. MeCIellan continued on from Cherbourg for Paris. The New York, with a full passenger list, had had a slow voyage. A majority of the passengers decided, when it became evident that the lateness of the steamer's arrival would necessitate a long night journey, to stick to the ship and make a mois comfortable daylight trip from Southampton. Each passenger in making this apparently unimportant choice literallv decided the question life or death. Mayor McClellan was one of the last to choose tneSouthamnton route.

The town Thompson Falls, in Misoula county, Montana, has a strange ystem of cold storage. in the hotsst days in summer it is possible to eep living rooms at a temperature f 55 degress; and butted, eggs and leat are kept cool and fresh without be least trouble. The best part of lie cold storage system is tnai ic osts absolutely nothing after the lant has been installed. Thompson Falls has a large numer of wells that furnish coltf, freSh ir, which rushes upward all summer Dng. The wells are dug for water, ut the supply of cold air is fnlty as nportant The wells of Thompson Falls are little more than sixty feet in depth, 'he water veins ars found in a ravel formation and are doubtless 3d by the mountain snow3 at some istant place. The gravel is porous nough to admit of a freely moving urrent of air, which during the sumler time rushes upward in currents trong enough to snuff out a match eld over the wells. Tfle Utility or tue com mr cuneum ras first observed in'1884, when the 'horapson Falls Mercantile Cornany used the cool air to keep butsr, eggs and meat in large quantises. The air can be piped in sumler to rooms of houses. The wells re covered over tightly at the top, nd large pipes tap the current a 3w feet below the surface of the round. These pipes conduct the air 3 different rooms in nearby buildlgs. For cold storage plants, a house is uilt above the well and the air uslies upward continuously, keeping lie temperature at an unvarying oint. < State pride takes strange forms. Wisconsin notes that more rats than ver before are being caught within er borders. She attributes this fact 3 the increased production of cheese.
