Rebuilding of Fleet and Other Expen. ditures Can Not be Met by Present Revenues, St. Petersburg.—It is learned from official sources that Russia probably will market a foreign loan the latter part of 1908, if international conditions are then favorable. The pres ent revenues are adequate to cover {.e ordinary expenses on the eco aomic scale which M. Kokovsoff has institued since the war, with perhaps some assistance from a small inter nal loan, but for the introduction Οἱ general education, tion of railroads, the the construc: re-building of the fleet and similar projects, the necessity of financial help from abroad is frankly admitted.

The taking of evidence began at the afternoon session, and before court adjourned for the day the state had established the corpus delecti clearing the way for Harry Orchard, who will, for the second time, tell to a jury his story of blood. Orchard was brought from the penitentiary to the city Tuesday afternoon. The evidence will be similar to that of the Haywood case. The statement was made by Attorney Hawley that “Pettibone was the most important factor of the conspiracy, He was the mediator between the federation leaders and the desperate men who made murder a trade and assassination a means of livelihood. It was Pettibone who manufactured a peculiar kind of explosive, known as ‘Pettibone dope,’ which, when thrown upon anything causes fire which cannot be put out; that it was he who sawed off the shotguns which became common weapons for the use of the assassins; that he helped to make the bombs which caused a score of deaths.” Powers Directly Connected With the Murder of Governor Goebel. Georgetown, Ky.—Henry EB. Youtsey, Frankfort. Youtsey told of placing guns in Powers’ office. raising the win dow and drawing the curtain to the window, of pointing out Goebel as he approached the capitol, and seeing Howard aim at his victim, He then left the room and heard the srack of the rifle as he was descendIng the stairs. The witness connected Powers directly by stating that he fixed the door for the entrance of the assassin and approved of the plan Youtsey also said, former Governor Taylor dictated a letter to him asking Howard to come to Frankfort to “do the job.” Monongah, W, Va.—When darkness came Monday night a total of sixtysix bodies has been brought from the Bloomsburg, Pa.—High water caused the collapse of a new bridge in course of construction over the west branch of the Susquehanna river at Mifflinville, eight miles north of here, Tuesday night, and resulted in the death of seven men and the injury of nearly a score of others, two perhaps fatally. Forty men were at work on the traveler on the middle span of the strueture when it collapsed. They wereall! thrown into the swollen river. Theaccident occurred just at nightfall vhen the men were preparing to abandon their work. As a result, the work of rescuing those who were thrown into The fourth day was a repetition ‘ts three predecessors in the matte of pathetic scenes. Hundreds of women remained near the mines all day, creaming and crying until they almost collapsed. As on former days, hot coffee was served at intervals by the company to keep the unfortunate women from falling to the ground vom exhaustion. Probably a dozen funerals were held Monday, and at all most distressing scenes were wit nessed. Prominent Officials of Railroad Charged With Manslaughter. New York.—Alfred H. Smith, vice president and general manager of the New York Central railroad, was placed on trial on Monday before Justice Kellogg, in the supreme court on a charge of manslaughter in the second degree, growing out: of the wrecks of the Brewster express at Woodlawn last February, in which twenty-four persons lost their lives and sixty-seven were injured.

Ida——For on hours four Wednesday, in the trial of George A. for the murder of former OrHarry Governor Steunenberg, shard was on the witness stand. Unier the guidance of James H. Haw‘ey, chief counsel for the prosecution, Orehard told of the blowing up of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine in of killing the Coeur d’Alenes, the Charles McCormick and Mel Beck in the Vindicator mine, in the Cripple ‘reek district of Colorado; the murder of Lyte Gregory in Denver; the blowing up of the Independence depot and the attempts made on the life of Governor Peabody of Colorado, In the main the testimony was the same as given at the Haywood trial, but the questions emphasized Pettibone's alleged conspiracy. An entirePettibone ly new feature of the evidence was the statement by Orehard that Pettibone had told him in 1904 that he pur- chased After the Death of His Father. Stockholm.—Oscar II, king of Swe den, died at 9:10 o'clock Sunday morning. The death of the venerable monarch occurred in the royal apart ment of the palace, where, surrounded by the members of his family, includ ing the aged Queen Sophia and the Crown Prince Oscar Gustave, the high ministers of state, the inevitable end had been awaited, while outside the palace great crowds stood with bowed heads and tearful eyes long after the announcement came of the death of their well-loved sovereign. The whole country is bowed with grief, for King Oscar was something more than a ruler of his people and had endeared himself to them as an intimate and ORCHARD ON THE STAND. Boise. Hopkinsville Ky.—Five hundred “night riders,” masked and heavily armed, marched into Hopkinsville 100 rifles from a hardware personal friend. When the flag on the palace was dipped to half-mast there was a moan of anguish from the assembled multitude, and many of them cried, “Our dear old king is dead!” The succession ta the throne of Sweden now passes to Oscar Gustave Adolphe, Duke of Verland, the eldest son of the late king. At a meeting of the council of state Sunday afternoon the new king tock the oath of allegiance under the tifle of Gustave V, and adopted the motto, “With the people of the fatherland.” The princess then took the oath of allegiance and the new monarch accepted and deswoyed property valued at more than $200,000, while the citizens, in terror of their lives, feared to open their windows. The police, fire department, telephone and telephone offices, and even the railroad stations, were in possession of a wild mob, shooting right and left. The flames from burning buildings meanwhile lighted up the city and the surrounding country until it seemed the whole town was ablaze. One or two men were injured, one of them being Lindsay Mitchell, a tobacco buyer, who was severeiy beaten with switches and clubs, and the other a brakeman, who was shot in the back while trying to move his train from the path of the flames. The raid of the “night riders” caught the city unawares, as for some time the depredations resulting from the tobacco war had been of a minor nature, and it was generally thought that in the “dark district” at least the worst was over. As soon as the “night riders” left town, a posse of about fifteen, headed by Major Bassett of the local militia and Deputy Sheriff Cravens, entered buggies and followed thetrail. As soon as the posse could get near enough they opened fire on ibe fleeing mob, and the pursued returned the shots. It is believed none of the “night riders” was hit. Members of the posse escaped injury. They were soon outdistanced by the mounted men, and, after chasing the men past Gracey, the officers returned home. INCREASED CIRCULATION.
