Explosion of a Bomb Among Crowds of Worshipers. Move to Dissolve Standard Oil Trust. Mayor Schmitz Indicted President on Hit Way Home Sugar Company Tried For Rebating Cockran-lde Wedding. A bomb was exploded In St. Pe ter's at Rome on Sunday. The edi fice was crowded and an Induscrib ub!o scene of confusion followed. There were no fatalities. As soon as tho echoes of the tremendous roar had ceased a canon sought by reas suring words to quiet the people, but In vain. They fled In all directions und a number of women fainted. It was discovered that the bomb had been placed under a scaffolding which had been erected to facilitate repairs to the roof exactly over the celebrated tomb of Clement XIII, by Canova, which consists of a figure of the pope and two lions, and which Is the most remarkable piece of sculpture in the basilica. This tomb ranks among the finest efforts of modern sculpture and by its execution Canova established a reputation. When the first gendarmes reached the spot the scaffolding was found to bo smoldering, but this fire was easily extinguished. The tomb was found to be absolutely uninjured, and even the pavement shows scarcely any signs of tho explosion. An examina tion of tho remains of the bomb leads to the supposition, unless it was crude ly pepared on purpose to mislead, ths.t it was manufactured In the country nnd brought Into Rome. It la believed that the bomb had a very long fuse In order to enable the crim inal to gi'ln the piazza before the ex plosion. It has been Impossible to trace him and no one has any recollec t!o:i of seeing a man who by his move ment? might have aroused suspicion. This bomb explosion makes the third an?rch!rt outrage In Italy In four days, the other two being the murder cf Professor Rossi In Naples Saturday nnd the explosion of a bomb in front of t!io Cafe Arngno !n Rome on Nov. 14tli.

The lines of these roads rover prac tically the whelo country. Mayor Schmitz Indlc'.ed. The gand jury t San Francisco re turned five lndiotnnt against Mayor Eugene Schmita and Abraham Ruef on charges of extortion. For nearly two 2 ears the alleged relations between the French restau rants and the municipal administra tion have been the subject of public discussion. These restaurants were a combina tion of eating and lodging and drinking houses. Two yean ago orders were issued that they be deprived of li censes. Tho doors remnlned locked for a short time, and then the restau rants wero permitted to reopen with "some restrictions." Soon the houses wero again in full sway along the old lines. Some newspapers charged that a fund had been collected amounting to thousands of dollars and that the money hud been paid Into official hands to lift the embargo. The accus ations further alleged that a monthly tax of about $5,000 was paid by the lestaurants for protection. It never has directly been charged that Mayor Schtnitz was concerned with tho so-called corruption fund. Ruef admitted that he hud received fees from the proprietors of the res taurants but declared that he merely acted as attorney In promoting the In terests of his clients, whose property ris'ita had been trespassed on. Will Never Again Be a Candidate. V.'llliam R. Hearst, recent Democrat ic candidate for governor of New Yolk, passed through Sun Antonis on '.-.U way to Monterey, Mex., where io ;,!: mining property. In reference to politics in New York he said: "I V.ll never again be it candidate. 1 slmll continue to live In New York ij advocate and support the princi ples of reform which I always have stood for, but these principles are now sufficiently understood by the general public, so it Is no longei necessary for me to be a candidate and on that account to be attacked with so much bitterness." Move to Dissolve Standard Trust The United States government al St. Louis last Thursday made the initial move to dissolve the Standard Oil company's alleged monopoly by filing in the United States circuit court a petition In equity against the Standard Oil company of New Jersey and Its 70 constituent corporations and partnerships, and seven defendants including John D. Rockefeller and William Rockefeller, asking that the combination be declared unlawful and in the future enjoined from entering into any contract or combination In re straint of trade. Tho defendants are entitled to one month In which to enter their appear ance and GO days in which to file an swer to the allegations in the petition They also have the option of filing a demurrer to the bill.

The case turned on the construction of the law prohibiting "setting up a gaming table" in the District of Columbia. The defense admitted the parapherna lia of a bookmaker consisted of stools and a cash box and that a definite lo cation was assigned to each book maker In the betting ring. The Jury deliberated one hour and 20 minutes when the verdict of "guilty as charged" was rendered. An appeal was at once taken to the court of ap peals. Pending the appeal sentence will not be executed on Davis. President on His Way Home. President Roosevelt is now on his way back to the United States from Panama.

Testimony of Defendant's Uncle ant Cousin and Aunt That They Hai Told Gillette That His Keepinr Company With Misi Brown Wa: Wrong Factory Girls Testified. Herkimer, Nov. 20. District Attor ley .Ward began the examination ol witnesses In the trial of Chester E Gillette on the charge of murdering Grace Brown in the Adlrondacks last July. Nineteen out of the 109 wit nesses subpoenaed took the stand. Albert D. Raymond, who conducts 8 summer resort 'near Cortland, do scribed an evening boat ride which Gillette and Miss Brown had near hit place about June 15, nearly a month before the occurrence on Big Moost lake which led to Gillette's arrest. Id answer to a question by the district attorney, Raymond Bald that he did nol know the name of the girl who ac companied Gillette on the night ir question and that he had never seen her before. "Was it this girl?" asked Mr. Ward pointing to a life size portrait of Grace Brown. "Yes, only she had a hat that night," was the reply. The witness then de scribed Gillette and said that he wish ed to rent a round bottom boat. Ray mond's round bottom boats had all been taken that night, however, and Gillette and the girl went out upon the lake In a flat boat. The witness had said that many persons were afraid to venture in round bottom boats, and In answer to the district attorney he said that boats of that description tipped over much easier than flat bottomed boats. The defense objected to this question and the court ordered it stricken out together with the answer. "Did you notice anything in particu lar about the girl when she came back from her boat ride?" was asked. "Yes, she was crying. She seemed to have been disappointed or some thing." The defense objected to the latter part of the reply and the court ruled that It should not stand. Gillette's senior counsel, A. Mills, cross-examined the witness about the boat ride and in answer .to questions was told jy the witness that the reason why per sons preferred round bottomed boats was because they could be rowed more easily. He could not tell whether Gil lette on his occasional visits to the re sorts asked for the round bottomed boats. . Mr. Mills then asked: "Do you usual ly remember faces of persons you see at your resort Just once, so that you could Identify a picture of them after wards?" "About 10 per cent of them," was the reply. Raymond said that Miss Benedict also had been out on the wa ter at his place with Gillette, but that they were In a launch. Another feature of the proceedings was the appearance In court of Gil lette's uncle, N. H. Gillette, and his cousin, Harold Gillette, both of Cort land. By placing the elder Gillette on the stand the district attorney sought to support the statement which he made in his address to the Jury on Saturday that Gillette's relatives found fault with him for keeping com pany with Miss Brown. Harold Gillette, who Is superintend ent of the factory In which Grace Brown and Gillette were employed, testified that he told Gillette it was "bad business" to call frequently upon a girl who he would not take out in society. Miss Ella Hoag, Gillette's aunt and paymistress at the factory, testified that she also spoke to Gillette about keeping company with Miss Brown and that Gillette denied that he was doing so. Several young women employed in the factory, including Miss Theresa Harnishfeger, Miss Teresa Dillon and Miss Ella Melvln, testified that Gil lette spent so much time about Grace Brown's table that neither of them did tho amount of work expected of them. Miss Harnishfeger said that she ad monished Gillette about calling on Miss Brown when he was keeping company with another girl and that Gillette replied: "Oh, I'm having my fun out of it." It was at this point in the trial that tho name of Miss Har riett Benedict was first mentioned. Miss Harnishfeger testified that she had seen Gillette and Miss Benedict out together at parties. Miss Benedict arrived in Hcrklmei yesterday. She was heavily veiled and did not come into tho crowded court room, but remained down stairs In a private office. She will probably take tho stand today. During the day letters from Gillette to Miss Brown and from Miss Brown to Gillette wore Identified by witness es. The former letters were found In the dead girl's trunk, and the latter letters In the defendant's room at Cortland after his arrest. These let ters will be offered In evidence.

THAW'S TRIAL y.OVP.O. Interest In Report of T'e A'lenlsU as to His Sai'ity. New York, Nov. 20. :!sir!ct Attor ney Jerome served notice upon counsel for Harry K. Thaw that tho prosecu tor would appear in court today and ask for a special jury before Recorder Goff on Dec. 3 to try Thaw for the murder of Stanford While. The panel of 150 names will be requested. Mr. Jerome adds that the case ,1s one that requires attention and dispatch. Thaw is charged with murder in the first de gree. D. L. Delmas aud John B. Gleason of counsel for Thaw called on their client in the Tombs late yesterday. The ob ject of the visit, it Is understood, was to confer with the prisoner on the mat ter of a story published to the effect that three alienists retained by the de fense to examine Thaw had reported to his counsel their conclusion that Thaw was Insane when he killed White. The experts credited with this find ing were Dr. Charles S. Wagner, super intendent of the state hospital at Blng hamton; Dr. Christopher C. Bellng, su perintendent of the stato hospital of New Jersey, nil Dr. Britton W. Evans, head physician of the latter Institu tion. Following the visit of counsel to the Tombs, It was reported that they had told Thaw to pay no attention to the story regarding the alienists, as it was without foundation. Last night, how ever, A. R. Peabody, also of Thaw's counsel, said emphatically that the published story would neither be con firmed nor denied, as the attorneys for the defense had decided to do no fur ther talking for publication. When a note was sent to Thaw inquiring whether he had anything to say re garding the matter, he replied: "Noth ing whatever. See Mr. Hartrldge." Mr. Hartrldge Is Thaw's personal counsel. The Interest in the report regarding the alienists was due to the suggestion of a possible alteration In the plan of defense. PRESIDENT'S ORDER SUSPENDED.

LINCOLN THE ATHLETE. ITow the Vontli'n Itodlly Vigor Stood III:t la Good Strml. YotttiR Lincoln's bodiiy vlgir stood him in good stead In ninny ways. In frontier life strength and athletic skill served ni well for popular amusement ns for pro-i.iic toil, and at times. Indeed, they were needed for personal defense. Every community had its champion wrestler, u man of considerable local importance, in whose success the neighbors took a becoming Interest. There was not far from New Salem a settlement called Clary's Grove, where lived u set of restless, rollicking young backwoodsmen with a strong ilkiug for frontier athletics and rough practical jokes. Jiii-k Armstrong was the leader of these nnd until Lincoln's arrival had be-'ii the champion wrestler ot both ITiry's Grove and New Salem. He and ilia friend.-, had not the slightest per sonal grmlgf against Lincoln; but, lle.iring the neighborhood talk about the newcomer mid especially Ollut's extra vng.-int prai- e of his clerk, who, aeeotilhvj; to UlTut's statement, knew more th ai any one else in the United State: und could beat tho whole coun try tit running, jumping or "wras tilnr;," they decided that the time hud co:i!0 to assert themselves and strove to bring about a trial of strength be Iwcr.i Armtrons nud Lincoln. Lin coln, who di'-.apiiroved of all this "wool li'g a:nl pulling," as he called lt.lind had no desire to come to blows with lib neighbor, iit off the encounter us king us pjssilde.
