SSISSINATED IN MOSCOW Grand Duke Sergius, Uncle to the Czar, the Victim. BLOWN TO PIECES ON STREET. Head Severed from Body and Blown to Atoms—The Assassin Was Arrested. CONSTERNATION AT THE COURT. @ The bomb-throwing theatened after the St. Petersburg riot, has begun. The first vietim is Grand . Duke Sergius, uncle of the Czar and Military Governor of Mos- COW. The Grand Duke was assassinated at 3 o'clock on the afternoon’ of the .17th in Moscow, his murderer hurl- ing a bomb under a closed carriage in which Sergius was driving. The carriage was blown to pieces, tue im- perial victim was . beheaded and frightfully mangled, and the horses, vaharmed, bolted. The sentence of death on Grand Duke Sergius was contained in a proclamation issued by the Socialist Revolutionists of Moscow after the demonstration of December 11, of last year, at St. Petersburg was put down. It read: “If our demonstration at Moscow {December 18 and 19) is crushed in as bloody a manner as that of our brothers of St. Petersburg, then be the guilt therefore upon the head of Grand Duke Sergius and General Trepoff; and we, the committee, in that event have foreorddingd their death.” Where the Murder Occurred. The tragedy occurred within the walls of the far-famed Kremlin palace and almost underneath the historical tower from which Ivan the Terrible watched the heads of his enemies campaign, | | | | | | Hawaiian islands. falling beneath the ax on the famous | Red square, and within a throw of the great bell of Moscow.

The missile of iron, and its explosion tore the imperial victim's body to ghastly fragments, which strewed the snow for yards around.

HELD MEETING ON THE STREET. Inflammatory and Revolutionary Liter- ature Found on the Prisoner. The New York police reserves were called out Sunday night to disperse a crowd, said to be sympathizers with the Russian revolutionary party. Eight men were arrested, all giving foreign names and charged with parading without a permit, collecting a crowd and holding an unlawful meeting. The trouble started when two Dpo- licemen came upon a crowd cheering and applauding a speech made by one of their number. The policemen were unsuccessful in dispersing the people, and called for the reserves. 1 was said that a red flag was being waved, and a sergeant of police who assisted in the raid made the state- ment that on one of the men arrested was found ‘inflammatory and revolu- tionary literature.” This man’s name was given as Albert Argentier, and the police found on him a subscrip- tion list for the Russian revolutiona- ries, said to have been issued by the pro-revolution committee for Russia. Argentier demanded to know if this city was to be like Moscow, an honest working man denied the right to meet and denounce tyrants. “You can meet all right,” said the | sergeant in charge at Madison street, but not in the street, where the meet- ing might turn into a riot and a lot of people get broken heads.

Close to 25,000 tons of steel billets, rails, beams, bars, hoops, plates, wire, wire nails and iron pipe made by the United States Steel Corpora- were exported in January through New York and other Eastern seaboard points, while heavy ship- meats were also made to the Far East by way of the Pacific. This brought the total of January exports to fully 50,000 tons. The billets consignments went to England principally. Rails went largely to Japan and Korea, while wire went to South America, Austral ia and the Far East. Japan was also a large buyer of wire nails and iron pipe. The January imports of iron ore, manganese ore, chrome ore, iron pvrites, pig iron and miscellaneous material, bought largely for Pittsburg account, exceeded 75,000 toms. $1,500,000 FIRE. Business Houses and Hotels Destroy- ed at Indianapolis. Fire which started in . the large wholesale millinery house of Fahn- ley & McCrea, at Indianapolis spread to adjoining buildings and within 45 minutes had completely destroyed eight buildings and menaced that por- tion of the wholesale district bound- ed ‘by Meridian street and Georgia street, Jackson place and the Union station. ) Several explosions occurred in the A. Kiefer Drug Company’s ware- rooms ‘and on account of the in- flammable . material stored in the ad- joining. buildings. the fire was hard to fight. A storm of firebrands fell over the business portion of the city and threatened a wholesale confla- gration. The loss is placed at $1,500, 000. Bulgarians and Turks Fight.

General Lew Wallace, author, for- mer American Minister to Turkey and veteran of the Mexican and Civil wars, died at his home in Crawfordsville, Ind., aged 78 years. The health of General Wallace has Leen waning for several years, and for months it has been generallly known that his vigorous constitution could not much longer withstand the rav- ages of a wasting disease. For more than a year he has been unable to properly assimilate food, and this, together with his advanced age, made more difficult his fight against death. At no time has he ever confessed his belief that the end was near, and his rugged constitution and remarkable vitality have prolong- ed his life. General Lew Wallace was 78 years old when he died, having been born in Brookville, Ind., in 1827. He had been in the thick of political, military and literary life since the Mexican War, which he entered before he had attained his majority and from which he emerged a young lieutenant, cov- ered with honors. General Wallace’s father, David Wallace, was once Governor of In- diana. He was defeated for re-elec- tion to Congress because he voted for $30,000 appropriation to build the first experimental telephone line from Washington to Baltimore, his con- stituents objecting to such expendi- ture of public money as unpardonable extravagance. Possibly the least success attained by him was as a lawyer, which career he embraced in his early manhood. After the stirring events of the Civil War, ficm which he emerged a Ma- jor General, he took up for a brief period the practice of the legal profes- sion. But he did not like the law, and gradually, with diplomatic work in- terspersed, he undertook the work of a litterateur, in which he has made if comparisons are possible in so well- rounded a life, his most distinguished success. WILL BE NO DELAY. President Orders Investightion of Oil Operations. President Roosevelt sent an order to James R. Garfield, chief of the bu- reau of corporations, to make a thor- ough investigation of the Standard Oil Company’s business and ascer- tain if that corporation is violating any of the anti-trust laws. The in- vestigation is to be made at once. This action is independent of the resolution adopted by the house of representatives, providing for such an investigation. It has been con- templated by the president for sev- eral days. Representative Campbell, of Kansas, who secured the passage of the resolution by the house, in a conference with President Roosevelt today outlined the crisis that has come to the Kansas oil industry. On the spot the president dictated the order to Commissioner Garfield. Agents of the bureau of corpora- tions are being hurried into the field to probe everywhere for evidence that might show violation of the fed- eral laws. When Commissioner Gar- field called at the white house later in the day to confer -with the préesi- dent he was given specific instruc- tions to begin with Kansas. 40,000 WORKMEN DISCHARGED. Twenty-Five Factories Settle With Their Men and Close Down. The manufacturers ‘of Lodz, at a meeting decided to telegraph full details of the situation to the minis- ter of finance.

The Move Is Particularly With Ref- erence to the Standard and Its Control of Market. The House passed a resolution in- troduced by Mr. Campbell (Republi- can, Kansas) instructing the Secre- tary of Commerce and Labor to in- vestigate the Kansas oil situation, particularly with reference to the af- fairs of the Standard Oil Co., and its control of the market. The resolution, which was acted upon by the House without reference to a committee is as follows: “Resolved, That the Secretary of Commerce and Labor be and he is hereby requested to investigate the cause or causes of the low price of crude oil or petroleum in the United States, and especially in the Kansas field, and the unusually large margin between the price of crude oil or pe- troleum and the selling price of refin- ed oil and its byproducts, and whether the said conditions have resulted, in whole or in part, from any contract, combination in the form of a trust or otherwise, or conspiracy in re- straint of trade and commerce among the several states and territories or with foreign countries; also whether the said prices have been controlled in whole or in part by any corporation, joint stock company or corporate combination engaged in commerce among the several states and terri- tories or with foreign nations; also whether such corporation, joint stock company or corporate combination, in purchasing crude oil or petroleum by any order or practice of discrim- ination, boycott, blacklists or in any manner discriminates against any particular oil field; also to investigate the organization, capitalization, prof- its, conduct and management of the business of such corporation or cor- porations, company or companies and corporate combinations, if any, and to make early report of his findings according to law,to the end that such information may be used by Con- gress as a basis for legislation, or by the Department of Justice as a basis for legal proceedings.” A bill providing for the establish- ment of a State oil refinery was passed by the Kansas House of Repre- sentatives to-day by a vote of 91 to 30. The bw had previously passed the Senate. Gov. Hoch will sign the measure at once. Under its pro- visions a refinery will be erected at Peru. NEGOTIATIONS ENDED. Secretary Hay Stops Consideration of Further Arbitration Treaties. Secretary Hay has not yet com- municated to the representatives of Powers here with whom he had ne- gotiated arbitration treaties the ac- tion of the Senate in amending those conventions, and it is probable that he will not do so. The conventions are now in the custody of the Lib- rarian of the State Department and will probably not receive further dip- lomatic treatment. It has developed that the Powers are unwilling’ to ‘accept the am&wd- ment to the treaties made by.. the had closed refused to pay the strik-| which | Jewels Valued at $60,000 | $60,000 | | worth: of gems of various kinds have | been | Senate.

Gross earnings of Chicago Great | Western for the first week in Febru- | ary decreased $18,789. : | The gross earnings of Missouri, | Kansas & Texas for the first week |in February decreased $47,558. | A Wall street estimate gives $8,000,- 1 000 as the steel corporation earnings | for January and predicts about $27,- { 000,000 for the quarter, which would | compare with about $13,000,000 for | the first quarter of last year.

The official returns to St. Peters- burg for the first year of the war, not including the Port Arthur sta- tistics, show that 130,439 officers and men passed through the hospitals go- ing north, of which number 1,710 offi- cers were wounded, and 1,308 were sick; 53,890 men were wounded, and 72,581 were sick; 4,007 subsequently died in hospitals, 6,474 wounded and 11,248 sick were invalided, 9,429 re- turned to Russia, and 21,554 are still in hospitals. Over 71,000, therefore, presumably returned to the ranks. These figures do not include the numbers of those killed on the field of battle, nor probably those slightly injured who remained temporarily in field hospitals. The proportion dying in hospitals is very low, the total loss to the active army in wounded and sick being a little over 20,000, of whom almost half have still a chance of returning to the ranks. The other half will be invalided or returned to Russia. The killed in battle are estimated to have numbered between 40,000 and 50,000. The departure of Grand Duke Alexis and Vice Admiral Avellanic for Llbau to bid farewell to the Third squadron on its departure for the far east, does not indicate that there is any inten- tion of postponing the sailing of the squadron. A dispatch from Kiel says: “The postponement of the sailing of the Russian squadron under Admiral Ne- bogatoff causes wonder, as contrac- tors had placed large supplies of fresh and other provisions on board the steamer Marie for transhipment to the Russian squadron. An order for 20,000 pounds of fresh meat has been countermanded.” COPPER MINES TO MERGE. Big Arizona Companies Pittsburg Capitalists Interested. Arrangements have been completed by Eastern capitalists, including Bos- ton and Pittsburg owners, for a con- solidation of the mines in the so-called “Bonanza circle” at Bisbee, Ariz. The properties to be included are the Calumet & Arizona, $2,000,000 capi- tal; Lake Superior & Pittsburg, $2, 000,000; Calumet & Pittsburg, $2,500, 000; Pittsburg & Duluth, $2,500,000, pany, $50,000. At present but one of these prop- erties is producing, the Calumet & Arizona, which produced 31,675,000 pounds of copper in 1904. The com- pany has paid $1,700,000 in dividends and set aside a $2,000,000 reserve. The shafts of all the properties are connected and all are rich in ore. Panama Railroad a Payer. The members of the House sub- committee to investigate the affairs of the Panama Railroad Company returned from New York, where they visited the offices of the company. Chairman Shackleford said the testi- mony developed that the railroad and its constituent stpamship line was an exceedingly well-paying piece of property and that it has been a divi- dend payer from its organization.

The Isthmian Canal Commission has received a report from Health Officer Spratling at Cristobal, canal zone, stating positively that it has not been shown that yellow fever exists or has existed in Colon since July 9, 1904.
