State Oil Refinery Claims Against Mrs. ChadwickParcel3 Post Treaty. San Domingo Protocol Frances Willard Statue Explosion on Sub marine Death of Lew Wallace. Within tho walls of the far famed Kremlin palace at Moscow, almost underneath tho historic tower from which Ivan tho Terrible watched the heads of his enemies falling be ncath tho nxo on tho famous Red Square, and within a stone's throw of the gnat bell of Moscow, Grand Duke Serglus, uncle and brother-in-law of Emperor Nicholas, and the chief of the reactionaries, met a ter rlhlo death shortly before 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, the body being lit erally torn to fragments. The deed was committed by a sin gle terrorist, who threw beneath tho carriage of the grand duke a bomb charged with tho same high power ex plosive which wrought Minister Von Plehve's death. Tho assassin was ' thrown to the ground and. stunned by the force of explosion; but he quickly arose and ran toward the gate attempting to es cape. His hasto and the blood stream ing from his face where he had been wounded by fragments of the bomb nttracted the attention of a sergeant of police, who seized him before he could draw his revolver. The man did not deny his crime, but on the contrary gloried In its suc cess and avowed his membership In the social revolutionary organiza tion but refused to give his name and at the Jail his papers wero found to be forged. The grand duke's coachman who was badly Injured, was removed to a hospital. Until tho funeral, which has been fixed for Thursday, Feb. 23, the re mains of Grand Duke Serglus will rest in the ancient dining room of the Chaudoff monastery, to which, through out the day, the people of Moscow have been admitted to pay their last respects in parties of 100. This pre caution was taken because It was thought necessary to avoid the pos sibility of demonstrations. The assassin remnins persistently silent. His Identity has not yet been established and although the police have been Investigating diligently they have been unable to gather up the threads of the plot or find any clues to posslblo accomplices. Regard for the personal safety of the sovereign has led to the de cision that the emperor shall not go to Moscow to attend the funeral of his uncle. It Is possible that no mem bers of the imperial family -will be present on that occasion except those who are now within the walls of the Kremlin. State Oil Refinery. Governor Hoch of Kansas has signed the bill appropriating $200,000 for a state oil refinery with a capacity of 2,000 gallons. He also sent a lengthy message to the legislature, giving his reasons for signing the bill. Governor Hoch said that the pres ent legislation was not an attempt to drive the Standard Oil company from the state nor deprive it of Its rights. "It Is not an nttempt to establish a monopoly, but an attempt to compel a monopoly already existing to be de cent." He said that when normal condi tions wero again restored the state would be glad to withdraw from the business of refining oil and. leave It In the hands of private competitors where It legitimately belongs." - "It Is due to this state to say," he says, "that this movement has not been conceived, as many think and some charge, In the spirit of social ism." Mrs. Chadwlck Disputes Claims. Mrs. C. L. Chadwlck was present at tho bankruptcy hearing conected with her affairs. She was attired In the same handsome brown costume that she wore when she appeared In court on her arrival from New York to plead to the charges against her. She examined each claim critically and rejected several, among them the claim of Freda Swanstorm, her maid, who presented a sworn statement showing that her employer owed her for seven months' service at $15 per month. Mrs. Chadwlck declared that she did not owe Freda so much. When a small bill for a manicuring set was passed to Mrs. Chadwlck for 'examination she disdainfully tossed It back saying: "Why that Is absurd; I never owned such a thing in my life."

COMMUTERS' EXPRESS WRECKED One Young Woman Killed and Sixty Persons Injured. Paterson, N.- J., Feb. 21. One young woman "was instantly killed and about CO persons were Injured, half of this number seriously, in the- wreck of the commuters' express train known as the Middletown flyer on the Erie rail road near Falrlawn, four miles north of this city. The train composed of four cars, In cluding the special car of the Tuxedo club, was bound for Jersey City and was running at about CO miles at hour, over a straight section of new track, known asth6 Bergen County Short Cut, when all four cans were de railed, it Is believed by the falling of the rear crosj beam of the tender. The train ran for nearly half a mile,' tho cars bumping over the ties, when the- engine and tender broke loose and shot ahead and the front car top pled over and rolled down a high em bankment, dragging the rest after It. Miss Brace Matthews of Suffern, N. Y wh was killed, had raised a win dow at the first Bhock to see what had happened and as the train went down the embankment she was thrown out, the car rolling over on her. Two of the cars landed in a deep snow drift, probably lessening the shock and saving most of tho occu pants from serious injury. News of the disaster quickly reached Paterson and three special trains car rying physicians were rushed to the scene. Most of the Injured were able to go to their homes, the more seri ously hurt being taken to hospitals here and in Jersey City. STEAM PIPE BURST.

Paris, Feb. 21. Admirals Von Spaun and Davis held a session yesterday and met twice today. Their main work Is to fulfil the requirement of tne protocol that the commission re port all the circumstances of the in cident. While this detailed recital involves the main issues, namely whether tor pedo boats were present and whether Admiral Rojestvensky was Justified in firing, yet the full board of admirals reserves final determination of the main questions until after the pre sentation of Admirals Von Spaun and Davis' recital of the circumstances. Therefore no positive decision has yet been reached upon the main points, but their number and circumstances seem to Indicate a definite Inclination of the majority of the commission to ward partially justifying or excusing Admiral Rojestvensky's action. It is generally believed In well informed quarters that Vice Admiral Doubass olf (Russian), Admiral Fournler (France), president of the commis sion, and Admiral Von Spaun incline to the foregoing view, while Rear Ad miral Sir Lewis A. Beaumont (Great Britain), and Admiral Davis are con sidered favorable to the British view that no torpedo boats were present and that therefore there was no jus tification for firing. But It Is impos sible posltvely to verify this align ment of the admirals. Moreover the board apparently Is seeking to recon cile differences so that the decision may not be a pronounced victory for either side but measurably acceptable to both. NEW YORK'S WATER SUPPLY. Governor Recommends Appointment of City and State Commissions. Albany, Feb. 21. Governor Higglns sent to the legislature his expected message on legislation to protect the sources of water supply n this state and especially to provide New York city with an ample supply.
