Baron Von Nolken, accom panied by a police official, took a car riage and started immediately for Praga. - '. ; When pussing the castle, where the governor general resides, a mun stand ing on the pavement threw a bomb at tho carriage. Baron Von Nolken, who was sitting on the 6ldo nearest the assailant, 're ceived' tho full charge of the bomb, while his companion escaped unhurt. The coachman was thrown from the box aud the carriage was smashed.

Limiting Russian Armament. It was stated recc-utly In diplo matic quarters at.

Coupled with the announcement of resumption of the loan negotiations came a strong Intimation from official and diplomatic quarters that steps looking .toward peace had been defi nitely taken by Russia. The foreign office declined to con firm a report that France was likely to bo tho intermediary, but-diplomats who ure actively Interested for the first ttmo goja credit to the statement that Russia had ' decided to seek peace. Russia's chief preoccupation is oaid to be avoidance of having peace plans arouse the animosity of the powerful war element at homo. The receipt of nn official dispatch at St. Petersburg on March 20 say ing that tho 'Japuncso were upproach lug Vladivostok is said to have induced the determination to seek a pacific solution. On the other hand, It Is Insisted that Japanese proximity to Vladivostok promises to be a chief obstacle in the way of peace, aa diplomats conversant vitU the situation say that Japan will seek to avert peace until she pos sesses Russia's only outlet to the Pa cific coast.

Convicted on Seven Counts and Sent enced Upon Six For Four of the Counts a Sentence of Two Years Each Was Imposed and Upon Two Counts One Year Each, Cleveland, March 28. Mrs.. Cassie L. Chadwick was sentenced to 10 years In the Ohio state penitentiary by Judge Robert W. Tayler In the United States district court. The sentence came at the close of a busy dayfor the court in hearing argu ments on a motion for a new trial. Vhe motion was overruled. M Mrs. Chadwick was not parUAlarly affected by the- action of the court. When ordered to stand up and re ceive the sentence Mrs. Chadwick did not hear and was assisted to her feet by a deputy United States marshal. The court asked her if she had any thing to say why sentence should not be pronounced. "I have something to say," she said, "but I would like to consult with my attorneys first." "You may do so, but it must be im mediately," the court enjoined her. "If you have anything to say you must say It now." Mrs. Chadwick said there was noth ing she cared to say herself. Her at torneys made no appeal to the court and the sentence was immediately Im posed. After the sentence was imposed court odjourned, but it was over a half hour later before Mrs. Chadwick was taken back to the county jail. She had been talking with her attorneys. Mrs, Chadwick was convicted on seven counts and sentenced upon six counts. For four of these counts a sentence of two years each was Im posed. Upon two counts a sentence of, one year each was imposed, making a total sentence of 10 years. Attorney J. P. Dawley of counsel for Mrs. Chadwick took exceptions to the sentence upon each count, except the first count. The defense will claim that the court cannot Impose a separate sentence for each count. Judge Francis J. Wing or Mr. Daw ley will go to Cincinnati to make ar rangements for a review of the case before the United States circuit court of appeals. There was an understand ing with United States Marshal Chand ler, United States Attorney Sullivan and the court to the effect that there would be no attempt to execute the sentence until the defense had an op portunity to carry the case to the higher court and there obtain a sus pension of the sentence. No action will be taken by United States Attorney Sullivan regarding the other six indictments against Mrs. Chadwick in the federal court until the present ense is finally disposed of. The action of the court finally closed the Chadwick case so far as the Cleveland court Is concerned, un less the higher court discharges the woman or orders a new trial. By good behavior Mrs. Chadwick can reduce her. term of imprisonment to eight years and four months. 'When seen Immediately after sent ence had been pronounced Mrs. Chad wick replied to a question: "Wnat more can tho world want to know nbout me now?" FRANK ROGERS' DISAPPEARANCE.
