J. Keating. Pittsburg, June 19.—Charles A. Fagan, leader of the Allegheny county insurgents against Colonel Guffey, had a conference with Guffey and afterward announced that George Heard, an adherent of Kagan, had been chosen to be Democratic county chairman. The election will ho held at a meeting of the county committee on Saturday next. Two Italians, CSoloclo Conzocoro and Asta Ginccomo, both of Browntown, were arrested by the city police last evening shortly before 8 o'clock In the act of receiving extorted money from a fellow countryman, Gulseppl Dlgiory, at the home of the latter, over Fitzpatrlck's livery, on South Main street. The arrest was the result of a clever trap set by Chief Loftus, and the two men captured are believed to be two of the leading members.of the local "Black Hand" society, the scourge of decent Italians in this country. Evidence of a most convincing nature has been secured against the men and the police nave already started to hunt up their records in order to tighten the grip on them. Kean's trial was of the recordbreaking order. At 10 o'clock this morning he was arraigned before a magistrate. Five minutes later the case was before the grand Jury. The only witnesses heard by the grand Jurors were Policeman Cleary and the kidnapped boy. They had scarcely finished their testimony before a trhe bill was returned by a unanimous vote. The finding was at once presented to Judge Sulsberger, who was sitting in quarter sessions court. Kean was taken into court and placed on trial. Within an hour from the time that the first legal step was taken In the case, Kean had been convicted and sentenced by Judge Sulsberger to undergo Imprisonment in the eastern penitentiary for a period of 20 years. The prisoner appeared to be a physical St. Petersburg, June 10.—'The leaders of the douma have decided in view of the importance of their work and the gravity of the national crisis not to entertain any message from the throne for the prorogation of the doumu. This decision will be presented to the douma in the form of a resolution and unquestionably will be accepted with virtual unanimity. The decision of the leaders was taken In anticipation of the possibility of an Imperial message fixing a time for closure. At the caucus many speakers lauded tiie coming Of a dictatorship and cried, "Death to the czar!" The Ave points of difference between the president and the house were: John F. Neary reported, on behalf of the board of auditors, that the report was not yet finished, as the auditors had been unable to secure from the Taxpayers' Association the orders which the association's representative, John O'Donnell, bad paid out of the 190ti license moneys. The auditors were requested to make further efforts to secure these orders and to present their statement at the next regular meeting, July 2. ' Cossacks are riding through the streets of Bialystok milking great allow of foree for law and order, lDut ill reality being murderers of the blackest dye. Tiie whole garrison gave itself to slaughter and pillage, and the most awful bestiality was practiced. Not conteut with mere killing, the murderers beat the bodies of their victims uutil there was not a bone left unbrokeu.First.—Whether or not the labels on cans, etc., should bear the date of inspection. The president yielded here, and the date will not be required. Second.—The cost of Inspection. This provision remains as fixed by the committee—the cost to be paid by the government, the appropriation therefor being increased to $.'{,000,000. The president wanted a system of fees provided to be levied by the secretary of agriculture in the event of congress failing to make an adequate appropriation. All that Guffey would say was that the selection of Heard had been conceded by him in the interest of party harmony. The fact that Heard is to be made chairman is looked upon as a surrender by Guffey to the Insurgents. The Pittsburg Post, which has always been looked upon as  newspaper mouthpiece, will indorse editorially the nomination of Lewis Emery, Jr., - by the Democratic State convention. This Is regarded by Democrats here as evidence that Colonel Guffey has Hacked down In his opposition to Emery. A week ago the Post declared in favor of Vance McCormick. The Post gives as a reason for switching to Emery that McCormick has taken himself out of the light .and saj*J that the sentiment In the party 1? in favor of the indorsement of the ■ Mc- Kean county man. Despite the fact that the plans to capture the men red-handed were formed and executed within two hours, a chain of strong evidence has been secured against them. The police have been on the lookout for the men for the past several weeks, but up to yesterday found no chance to capture them. The news from the interior is extremely grave. New strikes have taken place in Yekaterinoslav, Saratov and in the Rakmuth collieries. All the strikers demand increased pay, shorter hours and are a unit for the overthrow of the government. There is great uurest In Moscow, and a second rebellion is feared there. Another mutiny is imminent in the Cronstadt fortress, and two infantry regiments have been sent from Krasno.ve-Selo, with two batteries of artillery, to face the sailors. Tax Collector Keating was requested to make a settlement with the board on the basis of the adjustment of his accounts made by last year's school board at thiir tinal meeting held May 24th last. There is now only a semblance of order, and the massacres may be renewed at any time. The streets are practically deserted save of the patrols of both cavalry and infantry. Jaws Try to Defend Themselves. Third,—The committee agreed to strike out the sectlou waiving the civil service law In the appointment of inspectors. This was originally put in at the request of the department of agriculture.wreck The collector's accounts, as accepted by the board at that meeting, showed a net duplicate of $5,661.77, after deducting from t,he gross duplicate, $8,069', all exonerations, abatements, land returns, rebate* and commissions that the collector claimed. Against this the collector presented $425, In orders that he hart cashed, leaving a net balance of $H16 due. This, the board demanded, should be paid to school treasurer Henry Brown. Kcait Also a Robber. New York, June 19.—A newspaper clipping of May 19, 1904, was found about J. J. Kenn, the kidnaper of the Muth boy, by Inspector McLaughlin, who looked up Kean's record. The heading on the story was, "Harlem Bank Bookkeeper Skipped," and alleged that J. J. Kean, bookkeeper of the defunct Harlem River National bank, had skipped with or $30,000. The clipping stated that Inspector Titus, then a detective sergeant, traced Kean to a house on West Eleventh street, and from there to a house on East Tenth street, but the man had skipped out and could not be found. In the three days of bloodshed there was at times a three cornered light between divisions of the military, the mob and armed members of the Jewish bund. Several hundred of the Jews were well armed, but they inflicted only slight loss on their assailants. Most of the dead and seriously injured Jews hnve been carried to the city hospital, where the accommodations are so taxed that more than half of the patients are stretched side by side oil the lawns. The dead are laid in the Digiory, who is a young man employed as a miner, lived in Browntown when he was first picked out as a victim of the "Black Hand's" extortion methods. He received several letters demanding that he give up $500 or take chances on his life. He took the letters to Chief L,oftun and was advised by the latter to move within the city limits. This he did at the first opportunity, renting some rooms only a tew days ago over Fitipatrick's lively. The letters continued and they were vuried by veiled threats made by Conzocoro, Glnecomo and another Italian. Last evening, these three approached Digiory, on Main street, saying they were tired waiting and that unless they go't the money before the next morning maybe Digiory wouldn't go to work. Their Intended victim told them lie would pay the sum, provided they called at his home In the evening about 8 o'clock. This they agreed, to ilO; lDiglory at once communicated with Chief Loftus, who gave him his Instructions. First a roll of counterfeit bills, "stage Fourth.—The president wanted more express terms used In providing for the withdrawal of inspectors from establishments refusing to comply with the orders of the secretary of agriculture In the destruction of diseased meat. The committee held that sections 2, 3. 4, 10 and 11 of the committee bill confer a much wider power on the secretary than would IhD conveyed in the president's wishes. This is an equal "give and take." Horry's Position The long debate on the agrarian question in parliament ended with the appointment of a commission to inquire further into the problem and to negotiate with the government Harrlsburg. June 19.—State Treasurer Berry will issue a statement within a few days relating to the gubernatorial situation. He refuses to indicate the position he will assume, and is apparently awaiting further developments. Mr. Herry said that he probably would reach a conclusion before the end of the Mr. Keating denied owing any such balance, claiming that since the settlement he had paid the teachers their salaries for the final month of the school term «nd had cashed, also, janitors' orders, to an amount thai practically exhausted the cash that the settlement showed In his hands. A rather warm debate ensued between the members of tlie board and their attorney, J. L. Morris, on the one MM.-, .hkI Mr. Keating, on the other, In whU'h Mr. Keating claimed that the board and the attorney were trying to bring him out In debt to the district, when, in fact, he ttMd disbursed the money in his bauds to pay just claims against the district. . The Russian nobles are arrayed on the side of the government. At the nobles' congress, recently held here, it has become known that, action was taken favorable to the czar. yard, To say that the bodies were mutilated conveys only a slight impression of the brutjility that was done. The faces were battered beyond all human semblance. whole bodies being crushed until they simply were masses of flesh and bone. The body of a professor named Apsteln was found with the hands tied behind the back. Three li»cb nails had been driven into the eyes. Nails also were driven through his cheek bones, and the man died fr9in a nail driven through his forehead into his brain. Rioters burst into Apsteln's home and after bestial outrages murdered his wife and seven children before his eyes and then killed him. When the man had died soldiers amused themselves by jabbing bayouets through Ills chest and abdomen/ Christian Slain For Protesting. Court Review Provision Out. The clipping also had a statement from David D. Sickles, receiver of the bank, who said thai Kean had been married about a month, and had been employed by the batik for three yearn, being a model banking employe. It was also declared that he could not have secured the money without accomplices. Th*D charge was never pressed, apjmrnntly beingdropped, though the reason for such action wax never made public, and the police records do not give any reason. Fifth.—The appeal and court review provision in the committee bill is eliminated at the request of the president, who in turn does not insist on the Insertion of the words "in the judgment of the secretary of agriculture." This, too, is an equal "give and take." With these major changes and a few miugr ones which do not materially change the bill the president said he could give it his approval. It was through Speaker Cannon and Representative Adams of Wisconsin that negotiations between the committee on agriculture and the president were carried on. Chairman Wadswortli refused to conduct them. It Is reported here that the State treasurer has about decided to decline the Prohibition nomination for governor, and thus rem*Dve himself from the Hold of available candidates for the Democratic nomination. It Is also rumored that he will declare for the nomination of Emery, but Ultimate friends believe that he will refrain from indicating a choice at the present time. week Not a word has been spoken In parliament on the Rialystok massacre.

Judicial authority on the secretary. It was determined to strike out the provision waiving the civil service law in the appointment of Inspectors and to Increase the appropriation to #3,000,000.

Chief L.oftus witnessed the transaction through the hole in the plaster and, at a signal, the officers rushed into the room with their revolvers drawn.
