LARGEST CLOTHING AN DlPURSIHING
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION RAGES
I
The reign of terror is at hand and the torch is being
applied to the nobles estates tnroughout the great
province of Voronozs.
(Special Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan)
Robrov, Russia, July IS ? Throughout the great pro'
vince of Voronozs the peasautry have risen to a man and
have applied the torch to the castles, palaces and all the
better tenant dwelling on twenty estates in various parts of
the province and the air is suffocating with the. smoke aris
ing from an area measuring many miles of country, includ
ing towns and villiages. Seveial ol the larger land owners
have been murdered and all who have so far escaped from
the mad hords that is now spreading destruction through
out this vast and rich province are Heeing to this city for
protection, All of the nobility are terror stricken and do
not even feel secure even in this garissoned city- The
governor of Voronoze has arrived with several regiments of
Cossacks but is unable to stem the rising tide of disorder.
The revolutionists seem to spring from the very earth and
hordes of thousands have gathered as one of the refugee
nobles expressed it to the press representative here, "from
God knows where." The country is gaunt and barren from
distinction in large expanses while all around the horizon
may be seen clouds of smoke by day and lurid Hames by
night.
Metropolitan Police Strike
St. Petersburg, July 1H ? The salaries of the metropoli
tan police of St. Petersburg have not been paid for a num
bei of months past and as a result the police have become
more and more restive and are now openly striking. This
morning they refused to obey their captains or to take their
beats. The imperial gendarmes have been called out and
have surrounded the mutineers whom they are tlireating
with arrest. They are having no elfect 011 the threats of the
gensdarmes striking police, however, who refuse to sur.
render and an encounter in which many lives 011 both sidee
must be sacrified is threatened.
HARRY THAW MAY NEVER
BE TRIED
Alleged Refined Society Would Be Too
Nuch Shocked at the High Liie Expose
Resulting From Court Investigation
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.]
New York, July IS? It now appears
that Harry Thaw will never be tried
for the murder of Stanford White, as
District Attorney Jerome asserts that
if the commission delegated to inquire
into his sanity declare him to be insane
the court will be moved to commit him
to a state insane asylum and that a
Drosecution for murder will be aban
denied.
Such a result would be quite gratify
ing White's familyjwho are shrinking:
from the exposure of many circum
stances in White's double life, which
must be made if Thaw is forced to
make a legal fight in court for his life.
That a prosecution of this case be
abandoned if possible is urged by all of
White's friends.

ALASKA'S BIO EXPOSITION
HAS A LOCAL BOOM
Reception to Messrs Chilberg and Nadeau
Attended by Large Crowd and Much
Interest Was Manifested
The reception to Messrs. Chilberg
and Nadeau at A. 3. ball was largely
attended last evening. Judge Wilcoxen
presided and introduced Mr. Chilberg
who first started the purpose of their
visit and their proposed tour of the dis
trict of Alaska? to inform the people of
the character and scope of the Alaska
Yukon-Pacitic exposition and to enlist
their interest and support, for this he
bespoke the people of Skagway as he
had been assured of that of Ketchikan
and Juneau where they had stopped.
To a former citizen of Skagway, Mr.
Chealander, Mr. Chilberg gave the
credit of having first suggested to Seat
tle the idei of holding an exposition,
Mr. Chilberg said a company had been
incorporated and capitalized at half a
million dollars which would all be sub
scribed in Seattle. The federal gov
ernment would be expected to contri
; bute as much more and to this end the
delegate to be elected from Alaska
would be expected to lend his aid. The
state of Washington assurances of this
had been given ? would give as much
more. Altogether two or three million
would be spent upon the exposition.
Which he declared, would be protected
on a scale of magnificense that would
attract an imtiiense attendance. Mr.
Chilberg gave place to Mr. Nadeau.the
director general to go further into de
tails.
Mr. Nadeau in a long and entertain
ing outline of the project, dwelt upon
the benefits to accrue to Alaska from
the great exposition. The whole north
western country, he said, was some
what shy in the matter of population
for the holding- of a successful expo
position, dependent upon that popula
tion. Great and constant advertising
must be undertaken to attract the peo.
