WATER POWER FOR ALASKA. THE KING AS CABINET MAKER PEOPLE'S STORE BATTLE with train robbers RUSSIA'S GREAT HARVEST. TROOPS AIDED , The Railroads Are Unable to Haul All Plans For Hydraulic Mining on an Ex- tensive Scale. The Klsbineff, Russia, Sept. 24—The anti-Jew agitation Is temporarily forgotten in the excitement attending the greatest bonanza of harvest in • the history of Bessarabia. The railroads are unable to take the amount of grain ottered for transportation. Forty locomotives are being employed where 200 are needed. The accumulation of grain is now sufficient to fill 20,000 cars. Most of the grain is piled at the station platforms, which are uncovered. Bad weather before the accumulation is cleared would mean vast losses to the farmers. the Grain Offered, THE RIOTERS Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 24. — Several prominent operators at Cape Nome are developing a project to supply all of Seward peninsula with electric and water power for hydraulic mining on a mammoth scale.

The electric current will then be utilized In lifting \t-nter from various rivers and creeks for hydraulic mining purposes. At present steam plants are being used, but the cost of machinery and fuel is so great that they can be employed only where the ground is very rich. , Two engineering parties are In the field surveying the fnlls and risers of the Saw Tooth mountains. London, Sept. 24.—Premier Balfour's continued presence at Balmoral has given rise to much surmise and comment, but It may be stated definitely that It is due to the king's determination not to assent to the formation of a new cabinet until thoroughly satisfied that its personnel and combination Is such as to insure the efficient carrying on of the affairs of the empire pending the resumption of parliament. Portland, Oregon, Sept. 24—One bandit was killed, another wounded and captured, and engineer Oliver Barrett shot in an attempt to hold up the Atlantic express on the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Co.'s line, at Corbett, 20 miles east of this city, shortly before 10 o'clock last night. The wounded robber wasl caught by a posso at daylight and gave him name as "Jim" Connors. The dead bandit is unidentified. It is feared that engineer Barrett will lose his arm. There were four men in the gang, all masked, two making their appearance- about a mile out of Troutdale. They climbed over the tender to the engine, covering the engineer and firemen with revolvers and or dering them to run the train to No. 21 mile post. This was uone and when the train stopped two other men came out of the brush and joined the first two. The newicomers. ordered the fireman and engineer off the engine, handing them two long poles, on the ends of which were sticks of dynamite. Under pain of death, the robbers compelled them to march to the express car and order the messenger to open the door. He was told that if he didn't they would use dynamite to blow open the door. The messenger made no reply to the request to open the door. The bandits then took the ftticks of dynamite from the engineer and fireman, placed them against the door and lighted ths fuses. The entire party then returned to the engine, remaining until the dynamite exploded. Vhe return to the express car was then begun, two robbers leading the engineer and fireman and the other two following. The messenger's silence led to the belief that the explosion had killed him, but when the party was within 20 feet of the car gave ample evidence that he was alive by opening fire. His' first shot went through the foremost bandit's heart, then struck engineer Barrett In the left shoulder. Several more shots were fired, one striking another bandit, who was afterward captured. The uninjured bandits determined, after the second man had been hit, to make no further effort to rob the express car. The engineer and fireman were allowed to proceed to the engine unmolested. Men, Outfits and Perhaps Vessels Lost in a Gale Off Grand Banks. St. John's, N. F., Sept. 24—A number of fishing vessels have returned here damaged and report the loss of men, trawls and fishing outfits in last Friday's gale on the Grand Banks. It is feared that some vessels sank. Six American, four French and eight New Foundland fishermen, found adrift in dories and picked up by other vessels, landed here yesterday. Gomel, Government of Mohileff, Russia, Sept. 24.—The rioting here which broke out Sept. 11 continued unchecked from Monday till early Tuesday morning, the troops only interfering to prevent the Jews from doing anything In self defense. On Tuesday other orders were evidently received, for the police suddenly became energetic nnd the rioting Immediately ceased. With ample volumes of water, which enn be found nowhere else on Seward peninsula, and with a fall of 700 to 1,800 feet, an enormous power can be obtained. The Saw Tooth Power and Mining company is being organized to develop it. It Is Intended to get a portion of the machinery Installed next summer. D Lot 7—Children's Fleece Lined Ribbed Sleeping Garments, all sizes, for 25 cents. For years previous cabinets were formed or ministerial vacancies filled with the mere formal presentation to the sovereign of the names of the new ministers. King Edward has done away with this tradition. He has spent the last few days in constant discussion with Mr. Balfour as to the advisability from the pout of view of the national welfare of the letter's suggested appointments.Three hundred and forty-five Jewish houses were plundered and wrecked and. so far as Is yet known, ten Jews were killed and over fifty were wounded.NEW DRESS GOODS—This week we offer some unusual values in New Black Dress Goods. KNIGHTS OF LABOR ON MILLER CASE. PEOPLE S STORE. A correspondent who made an Investigation on the spot of the "pogrom," as the Russians describe the anti-Semite riots, reports that the riotB were smaller, but perhaps more remarkable than those which took place at Klchlneff, because the police and military openly sided with the plunderers and murderers, the "pogromshlks." as the Russians call them.

Republicans and Citizen Unionists Ministers now holding office and those nominated for olHce linve been summoned to Balmoral to join in these conferences, ond all hove been subjected to n degree of Interrogation such as has surprised even those who knew King Edward Intimately ns Prince of Wales. To such an extent is King Edward holding his power of veto In reserve that now he is almost regarded by the Inner circles as more the cabinet maker than Mr. Balfour himself. WILKESBARRE, PA. New York, Sept. 24.—Yesterday was an eventful day In New York city. Two city conventions, those of the Citizens' Union and Republican, renominated the fusion ticket—Mayor Low, Comptroller Grout nnd Charles V. Forties, president of the board of aldermen—amid great enthusiasm. Hold Conventions In New York. Roosevelt. Pittsburg, Sept. 24.—Simon Burns, general master workman of the Knights of Labor, returned from Washington today. He states that the general executive board of the Knights of Labor, in session, adopted a resolution referring the Miller case to Senator HannS. The resolution recites that the enemies of President Roosevelt are trying to get organized labor to fight him; declares that such action would disrupt the unions and Injure the members, and warns Knights of Labor not to add to the numbers of such enemies by opposing one of the best friends organized labor ever had in the White House.

The commerce and Industry of Gomel, which ore considerable, are largely In the hands of the-Jewish population, numbering 20,000. Few of the residents are wealthy, but none are paupers. The Jewish artisans Incline to socialism. The trouble began on Sept. 11, a holiday (the day of the behendlng of John the Baptist), in a wrangle in the fruit and fish markets between mou- Jlks (peasants) and Jews. The wrangle ended in a free fight, in which many were wounded, one moujlk succumbing to his Injuries. The moujlks demanded vengeance and employed the following days, Saturday and Sunday, in inflaming the anti-Semite agitation, the leaders being an officer named Pensky nnd a rich merchant named Petrachenko. How the Trouble Began. The Republican convention at Grand Central palace was without ■ especial secretaryship of the Citizens' Union, ventlon at Cooper Union was enlivened by an effort to stampede the delegates for Henry George for president of the board of aldermen.

The Turkish casualties are reported at 325, including ftve officers, while the insurgents' loss Is placed at 20 killed and injured. District Attorney Jerome In an Interview last night declared his Intention to give his full support to the fusion ticket on the ground that the issue wns one of "decency against Indecency."

BEET SUGAR MISSIONARIES BRF.NNAN and ROBERTS Everybody knew that a pogrom would occur on Monday, and the Jews appealed (or protection to Chief of Police Rnvsky, who summoned an Infantry regiment from its sfammer encampment. Thug there were 1,(100 soldiers in the town. At luncheon hour on Monday the anti-Semitic railway workmen to the number of some hundreds began an organized attack on the Jewish houses in Zamovkaya street, sacking them and demolishing or spoiling the bulky articles by soaking them with kerosene. Police Chief Ravsky had they were intended to protect the pomovkaya, but they acted as though they were intended to protect the gogromshiks from interference. Jews who tried to cross their lines to rescue their coreligionists were brutally clubbed with the soldiers' guns, bayoneted or arrested. Meanwhile recruits for the pogromshiks poured steadily over the bridge leading from the railway workshops. A bystander begged the commandrt- of the gendarmery to send troops to guard the exit from the bridge. The officer replied threatening the man with arrest and saying, "We know what we haVe to do."
