London.?The Under Foreign Secretary.
Lord G'ranborne, was asked in the
' House of Commons for Information on
the massacre of Jews at Kishineff, Bessarabia,
a month ago. The Secretary,
in reply, placed the total number of
killed at about double the number
given in the official Russian report.
Otherwise the facts do not differ from
those already published. Lord Cranborne
added:
"According to the Government's information
the disturbance arose from
the murder of a Christian lad. which
was wrongly attributed to the Jews.
The latter retaliated on their assailants
and the result was an attack on
the Jews by a mob on Easter Sunday
and Easter Monday, in which, it is believed,
about 100 Jews lost their lives
and many were injured."
IThe official announcement from St.
Petersburg said that forty-five persons
' were killed and 424 were injured during
the massacre at Kishineff.]
The Jews of London are indignant at
the assertion of Count Cassini, the Russian
Ambassador at Washington, that
the troubles at Kishineff were the outcome
of the usury of the money lenders.
The editor of the Jewish World
offers to give $250 to any American
charitable institution named by Count
Cassini If the latter can substantiate

COUNT CASS INI THREATENED.
Unosnal Precautions Taken to Protect the
Baiiltn Ambassador.
Washington, D. C.?The State Department
has learned that since the Kishineff
massacre Count Cassini, the Russian
Ambassador, has received many
anonymous letters threatening his life.
He professes no concern over them, but
It is said that he is taking unusual
precautions.
Secretary Hay has received a great
batch of demands for action by the
United States in behalf of the persecuted
Jews in Russia. They were from
societies and Individuals and from all
over the country.
Under international law Russia is
gupreme in lier own affairs, and no
country can question her management
of them without committing an unfriendly
act. If Mr. Hay were to send
Russia a note on the subject, no matter
how friendly the motive, she would
probably return it, which would make
It a very serious matter. Wars have
resulted from returned notes.
Mr. Hay recalled while discussing his
position with a friend, that Russia's re
ply to our inquiry about the RussoChinese
treaty was very sharp and
frosty.
Russia said very plainly that it was
none of our business, but that as a token
of friendship to the United States
she would assure us that the story was
false. At the same time Russia intimated
plainly that we were straining
her friendship by persistent inquiries
after she had once stated her position.
ifr RUSSIA DECLINES AID.
Tells Mr. McCormlck She In Able to Care
For Kishineff Inhabitant*.
St. Petersburg, Russia.?The Russian
Government has received no representations
from the Government of tbe
United States in regard to the Kishineff
massacres beyond an inquiry,
through Ambassador McCormick, several
days ago, "whether the money and
supplies which were being offered from
all parts of America for the sufferers
would be acceptable to the Russian
Government. The Foreign Office replied
that while it greatly appreciated
the American generosity there was no
' need for relief, as the wants of the inhabitants
of Kishineff were being
looked after.
There is no doubt that-wlille the Russian
officials much regret the Kishineff
massacres they eaually resent what
they call the "anti-Russian agitation in
America," which they say is fermented
by the Influential Enclish press.
SUICIDE, NOT A WEDDINC.
Bridegroom Did Not Appear, and Bride

West Point, Ga.?Because the man
who had won her heart failed to appear
for the wedding, for which everything
had been arranged, Stella Lawrence,
of Lanett, Ala., jumped Into the
Chattahoochee River and drowned herself.
The wedding had been duly announced
and the minister as well as
the guests were on hand, but the prospective
bridegroom did not put In hia

note to her mother saying:
"Don't grieve after me, for I am mlsarnhta

NATIONAL BANK CLOSED'
Cashier Sherwood, of Southport,
Conn., an Embezzler.

Closing la Only Temporary.
Soutliport, Conn.?A -warrant was issued
for the arrest of Oliver Sherwood,
.cashier of the Southport National
Bank, and son of E. C. Sherwood, President
of the bank, who has disappeared
from this town. Sherwood Is charged
with the defalcation of nearly $100,000
of the bank's funds.
Because of the disappearance of Sherwood,
a meeting of the directors of the
bank was held here and Frank K. Sherwood,
a brother of the missiug cashier,
was elected to fill his position. Experts
were then called iu and an examination
of the books was made
wJiich resulted in the discovery of the
shortage. Sherwood was President of
the Wilbur Mining Company of Colorado
and the executor of a number of
estates in this county.
It is. feared that the mining company
and the estates may have suffered
losses also, and an examination win i
be conducted to ascertain if possible
the exact amount of the defalcation.
Friends of Sherwood say that his dis- <
appearance is brought about by insanity
Induced by overwork and claim j
that Sherwood has been -working until
late in the night for the last three
months. The bank officials, however,
are authority for the statement that
the books show evidence that the overwork
was due to his fear of discovery
and an attempt to fix the books so that
the shortage might not be discovered
by the bank examiners.
Sherwood lived here for many years
with his wife and two children.' He
was forty-five years of age.
Frank K. Sherwood, the new cashier,
confirmed the announcement from
Washington that the bank had closed
its doors, but said It was only a temporary
matter, and that In three or
four weeks at the latest business would
be resumed. All depositors, he said,
would be paid in full, the surplus of
the bank belne sufficient to meet all
demands. The object In closing, he
said, was to enable a careful examination
to be made to determine Just the
condition.
Washington, D. C.?The Treasury Department
received a telegram from National
Bank Examiner Perkins announcing
the closing of the Southport
National Bank of Southport, Conn.
This action, It Is understood, was taken
In consequence of the defalcation of
the cashier, which Is believed to have
approximated $100,000. Ellis S. Pepper,
receiver of the Pynchon National
Bank of Springfield, Mass., has been
appointed receiver.

Two Men Kill Him as ilie Climax of a
Political Disturbance.
Ufa, European Russia.?Governor Bogeanovitch,
of the Province of Ufa.
was instantly killed by two men in tne
Town Park. The assassination was
the climax to a political disturbance
that has caused many riotous outbreaks
in the province in the past few
months.
Governor Bogeanovitch's assassins
escaped.
Ufa, the capital of the province of
that name, is a city of 28,000 inhabitants.
It is the last station on I he

Russia, and, therefore, a city of considerable
importance.

Great Falls, Mont.?The heaviest cattle

snowstorm which has raged for
three days. In some sections fully
ninety per cent, of the sheep on the

of Cuba's Independence.
Havana. Cuba.?The guns of Cabanas
announced at noon th;it exactly
one year had passed since the Ciibau
Republic was boil.

everywhere, the day being observed as
a national holiday.
In Havana immediately after the salute

tween Mr. Palma and Secretary Zaldo.
the American Minister, the only Foreigner
in the President's party, was a
conspicuous figure.
But the celebrating began at midnight
with the illuminating of the principal
clubs, the sending up of rockets
and the screeching of steam whistles.
The weather was ideally clear, even
for Cuba, and a pleasant ocean breeze
tempered the heat. Business was completely
suspended and the streets were
thronged.
Illuminations and fireworks at night
completed the cele-bratiou. which
passed off without disorder.
The Spaniards participated in the rejoicings
with but little less euthusiasm
than the Cubans.
Among the cablegrams of congratulation
received by President Palma was
this from President Roosevelt, dated
Deita, Cal.:
"I extend nearty uoh>,tuuiwiiuus <u
the name of the American people to
you and the people of Cuba on the anniversary
of her independence, and for
the progress she has made and the
well-being achieved during the past
year."
President Palma replied:
"The Cuban people highly appreciate
your kind message on this day of blessings,
and I have the honor to convey
to you the expression of their warmest
wishes for your personal happiness and
the increasing prosperity of the United
States under the wisdom of your administration."

Washington, D. C.?Secretary Root
cabled to President Palma of Cuba:
"Accept hearty congratulations upon
the first anniversary of the establishment

FIRE DESTROYS 250 HOUSESOne-fourth
of the Population at St. Hyaclnthe,
Quebec, Left Homeless.
St. Hyacinthe, Quo.?A fire which
started in the shoe factory of Cole
Brothers, destroyed half a dozen flourishing
industries and 250 houses, leaving
nearly a quarter of the city's population
homeless. The loss is placed
at $400,000. Nobody knows how the
fire started.
The fire got beyond the control of the
local firemen, and word was wired tt
Montreal for help. Two steamers and
a supply of.hose made the run of thirtysix
miles in forty-four minutes.
Their coming was opportune, for by
this time the tire had worked its way
up to St. Antoine street, and was attacking
the finest business blocks of the
town, situated on the market square.
Through the efforts of the Montreal
men the market building and the buildings
on the other side of the square
were saved.
The burned district is practically the
same as tliat destroyed in 1876.

Lansing, Mich.?As a substitute for

Muskegon, has introduced a skeleton
measure providing for the electrocution
of all children who are regarded as

The legislator backel up his measure

The bill was based upon the report
frnm fho ciinprlntend-pnt of the nresent

Pekin. China.?China, in reply to further
representations made by the United
States and Japanese Ministers, has
again pointed out the impossibility of
Including in the commercial treaties the
opening to trade of Manchurian towns,
on account of Russian opposition.
The United States Minister proposed
that China open Mukden, Harbin and
a small port at the mouth of the Yalu
River.
C. C. Baldwin, of New York, a representative
of Southern cotton mills, who
has investigated the trade conditions in
Manchuria, reports that the American
cotton trade was increasing enormously
until recently, when the Russians
began to exert pressure upon the Chinese,
amounting to coercion, for second
orders for Russian firms amounting to
i 800.000 hales of coodfi. which other
wise would liave gone to America.
Mr. Baldwin says the foreign firms
cdmplatn bitterly of the difficulty of
| conducting business under the Russian
I administration, and he believes that
I unless the Russian absorption of Man1
churia is checked the United States will
be deprived of a most promising market
for cottons within a few years.
St. Petersburg, Russia.?The Russian
officials express themselves as being
deeply hurt at the criticisms of the
American press on the subject of Manchuria,
and say that "considering the
friendship extended forty years ago,
when America needed friends, America
might at least inquire whether the Ai>
glo-Japanese news was not colored in
Anglo-Japanese Interests."
Washington, D. C.?The State Department
has been made fully aware of
the obstacles which the Shanghai
I treaty Commissioners are ^meeting in
the efTort to include In the commercial
I treaty the opening to trade of Manchu1
rian towns. The Chinese, as stated in
tho Ppkin fURnnf-ph nnint out thp im
possibility of this on account of Russian
opposition. The accuracy of this
statement, however. Is denied by the
I Russians themselves.
Meanwhile the United States, anxious
to secure additional port facilities for
I American trade interests in Manchuria,
j will continue to exert its efforts to
bring about that result.
DISMEMBERED BODY IN A BOX.
H?ad Found Floating in the Tippecanoe
I Elver Near By.
I Warsaw, Ind.?While fishing in the
. Tippecanoe River, two miles east of
I Warsaw Clyde Kyle and Harry Miller
discovered a box floating in the water.
. The box was found to contain the body
of a man, minus the head, which was
found a short time afterward floating
in the river near by.
The arras and legs were completely
' severed from the body, and the head
had been partly eaten away by turtles.
The body had evidently been in the
water for several weeks, and the features
were entirely unrecognizable.
As no one has been reported missing
from this section of the country for
some time it is the belief of the officers
; that the man was murdered la rome
! city, probably Chicago, and his body
| shipped to this place. It appeared as
i though the box had been dumped in
I the river hurriedly by some person unfamiliar
with the stream.
CLOTURE RULE FOR THE SENATE.

Fort Wayne, Ind.?Senator Bev1
prirtge, who addressed the Bar Association
of the Steuben and De Kalb Circuit
at Auburn, on "The Lawyer in
Legislation," said that a cloture rule
for the Senate would be adopted at the
approaching session, but that it would
apply only to appropriation bills.
To permit the majority to force
through legislation under the cloture
rule would, he said, subvert the purpose
of the Senate, which was to provide
a check against action which does
not represent the sober second thought
j of the people. He said no measure
j that the people ever really wanted
I to pass had.ever failed by reason of
i lack of cloture In the Senate.

St. Petersburg, Russia.?The Czar

the massacre. A powerful clique at
court, including several Grand Dukes
and M. Pobiedonosteff, Procurator of
the Holy Synod, tried hard to save
General De Raaben, saying it was a
pity to sacrifice a distinguished man on
account of the Jews, but the Czar remained
resolute.

Indians' Fatal Curiosity.
When the overhead trolley system
vcav{aa Pi'ftr fhrt nntivo
Was lilSlilllVU ILL ULCAlk.u vn; -v.
Indians, apart from their wonderment ,
as to what unseen force propelled the |
cars, were anxious to test the new
power. They began by trying to stop
the car with their hands, and later t
with their heads and bodies, until the
list of casualties became great.
Then a brilliant idea struck them. ,
They had often been to bull fights. (
and at certain of these had watched j
a peculiar opening ceremony which
originated in Mexico, and later was
introduced into Spain. Before the bull
is set loose in the arena a man clothed
in white from head to foot poses as a "
statue in the centre of the ring. His ;
face and hair are whitened, and he j
stands without a movement or a flutter
of clothing or anything that would ;
tend to show that he is alive. ,
When the bull is released he flist ,
sniffs the air and makes a mad rush ,
for the pedestal. Getting quite close,
he stops and snorts, gazing at the figure.
Seeing no movement, he gradually
retires back in amazement. His
attention is then attracted by others,
and the man escapes. {
The Indians decided to try this on the
cars. Dressing themselves in white
and putting flour on their face and
hair they would stand motionless in ,
the middle of the car tracks facing j
the coming monster.
