Governor General Doubasoff was re-

Uspenski Cathedral, and the outrage
took place outside the carriage en-

rear of his carriage, hurling the muti-
lated corpse of the terrorist several
yards backward, and tearing off one
arm and the face of an aide who was
descending from the carriage. Gov-
ernor Doubasoff was thrown from his
carriage and under the horses’ heels.
His hack was burned and his leg
bruised, but he was able to walk un-
assisted into the palace.
The coachman’s skull was fractured
and he was taken to a hospital.
It is thought the assassin was the
student in whose room a bomb ex-
ploded Saturday, killing three accom-
plices, but who at the time was
watching the palace from a room .in
the hotel opposite.
Vice Admiral Doubasoff was ap-
pointed Governor General of Moscow
in December last. He is also an aid
of the Emperor and a member of the
Council of the Empire. Since his
appointment as Governor General
several plots against him have been |
uncovered.

KILLED BY A BOMB
Russian Students in Paris Engaged
in Dynamite Plots.
A bomb explosion occurred in the
forest of Vincennes. mear Paris, kill-
ing a Russian named Striga and dan-
gerously wounding a companion nam-
ed Sokoloff.
The two men were proceeding
through the woods, each carrying a
bomb, with the evident purpose of
hiding them for future use. While
so doing the bomb which Striga car-
ried exploded killing him instantly.
Sokoloff was struck by fragments of
the bomb and fearfully lacerated.
The explosion occurred in the out-
skirts of the forest, on the road bor-
dering on the suburban town of
Charenton, several persons witnessing
it. Striga’s right hand was torn off,
his right leg broken and his ab-
domen torn open. The police found
a revolver in Striga's pocket.
Striga and Sokoloff both were stu-
dents of the School of Mines and
members of the Rusaian student's
union. They also belonged to the
Revoliitionary society. Neither of
the men has figured in the police
registars of suspected foreignors.
The residences of Russian revolu-
tionists have been searched, leading
to the discovery of alleged incrimin-
atory documents. Two cousins of
Sokceloff were arrested.
BLUNDER CAUSES WRECK
Ten Killed and Thirty-Six Injured
by Collision.
Ten persons are dead as a result of
the head-on collision on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad near Clover Creek
Junction. Six were killed outright
and four died as a result of injuries
received. About 36 of the passen-
gers and train crew were, seriously
injured. The dead are: J. W. Wag-
rer, Mifflin, Pa.; postal clerk; J.
W. Cox, Downingtown, Pa., postal
clerk; Schultz, Washington, D.
C., postal clerk; —— Jones, residence
not known, postal clerk; F. G. Hard-
er, Harrisburg, brakeman; Mrs.
Trinkle, Philadelphia; Max Tarlove,
South Norwalk, Conn.; D. Conover,
traveling salesman, New York; un-
known man; J. W. Herr, Jersey City,
baggage master.
The trains were known as No. 18,
the Chicago mail, east-bound, and
the first or Chicago section of the
Chicago and St. Louis express, west-
bound. With the exception of the
last named man all of those killed
were on the east-bound train.
all of the injured were likewise on
the east-bound trip.
The official report of the collision
lays the blame on Engineer J. T
who was hauling No.
west.
He received orders, it is declared,
to wait at the double track at Carlin
to permit No. 18 to pass, but he mis-
understood them,

JTINDARD MUST ANGWER
President Arraigns the Oil Octo-
pus in Special Message.
LODGE AMENDMENT ADOPTED
All Oil Pipe Lines Placed Under
Jurisdiction of Inter-State Com-
merce Commission.
President Roosevelt in a special
message to Congress, made a drastic
arraignment of the Standard Oil com-
pany as a gigantic monopoly disre-
garding the rights of all competitors,
profiting enormously by conspiring
with railroads to receive secret re-
bates and deriving great advantage
through not being amenable to the
Inter-State Commerce Commission.
The President announced that steps
to prosecute the
Standard Oil Company under the El-
kins anti-rebate ~ act; urged the
speedy passage of the Knox bill, lim-
iting immunity granted the represen-
tatives of corporations, and especially |
asking for such legislation as will
give the Inter-State Commerce Com-
mission control of the company.
The special message had been so
timed as to have an important bear-
ing on the amendment of Senator
l.odge to the Hepburn rate bill, mak- |

sage had been read to the Senate the |
Lodge amendment was unanimously !
adopted, 75 Senators .voting for it,
and all pipe lines carrying oil were
placed under the jurisdiction of the
Inter-State Commerce Commission as
common carriers. This means that
hereafter the Standard Oil Company
must publish all its rates and submit
them to the commission for approval,
and they can be increased or dim-
inished as the commission considers
proper. The oil monopoly will be
under precisely the same restraints as
railroad corporations.
H. H. Rogers and John D. Arch-
bold of the Standard Oil
made an extended answer to the
President, denying secret rates or
illegal methods and declaring their
company is the victim of ‘‘the man
with a muck rake.”

Throughout the afternoon dragoons,
republican guards and cuirassiers
charged disorderly masses, sweeping
the Place de la Republique and the

drawn swords and many persons were |
wounded on both sides. The mani-
festants overturned omnibuses
threw up liasty barricades.
Over 1,000 arrests were made dur-

demonstration reach the magnitude
of a revolt, but was rather a leader-

| PANIC IN WALL STREET
Prices of Stocks Fall Rapidly
i Enormous Transactions.
Wall street on May 2 passed
through the most exciting crisis since
the great panic of May 9, 1901, when
Northern Pacific sold at 1,000, and
when a short time half the great
banking houses in Wall street were
insolvent. The transactions, aggre-
gating 2.500,000 shares, were the lar-
gest since that memorable day.
Rumors of houses in trouble added
excitement, but investigation
proved them to be the invention vf
the bears. Only one failure was an-
noanced, that of Charles W. Saacke,
which created comparatively little
comment. His total liabilities are
on
i to the
estimated ‘to be between $20,060 and |
$60,000.
Prices crumbled rapidly with each
offering and stocks continued to pour
out in enormous amounts until into
the afternoon, when just before 1
everything they offered was being ab-
sorbed.
The turning point had come: I.ondon
was buying stocks by the thousand.
The banks sent in an abundance of
call money at 4 per cent. In the last
hour a complete change of sentiment
took place and at the close the gen-
eral belief was that the crisis had
passed.

ANOTHER TEXAS TORNADO
Three Counties Struck by a Hard
Wind Storm and Much Damage
e

A tornado swept over parts of
Brown, Wise, Denton and Greyson
counties, Texas, doing damage to
crops and farm property, killing two

much live stock.
Some of the hail stones measured
10 inches in circumference and weigh-
ed eight ounces after having laid on
the ground for a period of 10 min-
