the Minister of the Interior in a
Crowded Thoroughfare Near a Railroad
Station in St. Petersburg.
St. I otersburg, By Cable.?M. Von
Plehve, Minister of the Interior, was
assassinated at 9:50 o'clock Thursday
morning by a bomb thrown at his carnage
while he was driving to the
Baltic station to tako a train for the
palace at I'eterhoff, where he was to
make bis weekly report to the Emperor.
The assassination is believed to be
the outcome of a widespread plot, the
existence of which has been suspected
for several days. Numerous arrests
have been made, including that
of the assassin, a young man who is
believed to be a Finn named Regie,
and who is now in a hospital, severely
and perhaps fatally injured by the
explosion of bis own bomb. An accomplice
of Leglo, also apparently a
Finn, but whose nam? is unknown,
has been arrested. He had in his
possession a bomb, which he tried
to throw, but lie was overpowered by
the police just in time to prevent
great loss of life.
The assassin wore a brown overcoat
and a railroad official's cap. Ho
stood on the sidewalks just as Minis
tir Von Plehve's carriage was about
toy cross the canal bridge near the
station. The minister was escorted
by a number of detectives on bicycles,
and one of tbem jostled the assassin,
who then rushed into the road and
threw the bomb after the carriage.
The mlssle struck the hind wheel
and exploded with fearful force, killing
or wounding over a score of persons.
Minister Von Pleve and his
coachmen were killed outright, an-1
an officer of the guard was fatally injured.

The police, immediately after the !
explosion, arrested a suspicious indl- >
vidua! who touk refuge in a hotel opposite
theisc'fene of the tragedy, lie'
earri' d a horab similar to that thrown
by l.cgio. As soon as the police saw
the bontb they scattered, but an employe
of the hotel rushed up behind
the accomplice and pinned his arms.
The explosive is believed to have
been composed of pyroxylin, as it gave
off little smoke. The force of the
explosion was so terrific that, it not
only broke every window within a
radius of half a mile, but reduced the
heavy paving stones to powder, heaved

station, the windows of wltich mirnculously
esraped destruction. The priests
and people, with characteristic Russian
piety, at once jonied in a solemn requiem.
The square in front of the station
was filled with a reverent crowd
of peasants and laborers, and the busy
nuin of traffic was silenced. A priest
lifted up liis voi'-e and proclaimed
"The eternal memory of the departed
servant Wcneeslas," while all those in
the congregation dropped to their
knees.
T1 e infernal machine was thrown
with deadly accuracy, and the assasa
was favored by the fact that traffic
here is always of the heaviest, owing
to the crossing of lines of surface cars
and the continuous stream of heavy
trucks. M. Von Plehvo was always
apprehensive of attempts upon his life
and used to drive as rapidly as >ossllde.
The coachman, however, was
?ompelled to go slowly at this point.
The assassin in laying his plans evidently
foresaw this circumstance and,
while the Minister's coachman slowed
down, threw the bomb. The explotdon
was terrific and practically annihilated
the woodwork of the carriage.
The horses tore off, dragging the
axle and the front wheels. The animals,
though Infuriated by the wounds
they had sustained, had not galloped
far before they fell, with ;iools of
blood under them.
The Minister's servant, who was also
on the carriage box, was badly wounded.
and two officers who were driving
by in a cab were injured by flying
splinters. The assassin himself was
wounded in one eye.

due regard to law and the rights

but we have always paid the pen- j

words, and said in part:
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the

I am dt cply sensible of the high honor
conferred upon me by the representatives
of the Republican party assembled
in convention, and 1 accept the
nomination for the Presidency with
solemn realization of the obligations 1
assume. 1 heartily approve the declaration
of principles which the Repul Moan
National Convention has adoptc l
and at some future day 1 shall communicate
to you, Mr. Chairman, more
at lonath and in detail a formal written
acceptance of the nomintion.
Three years ago I became Pre-*.'.ent
because of the death of my lamented
predecessor. I then stated that it was
my purpose to carry out his principles
and policies for the honor and the interest
of the country. To the best of my

Administration, and the legislative and
MNOi tuive branches :ts towards eaeh
other, must work together with sttbordination
of self to the cojnnion end o'
su > essful go" criunent. We who have
been entrusted with power as public
servants during the past seven years of
administration and legislation now
come before the people content to be
indued by our record of achievement.
In tin' years that have pone by we have |
made the deed square with the Word
and it we are continue^ in power we
shall unswervingly follow out the great ;
lines of nunlic policy which th?? lleptih- |
licnn party has already laid down; a!
public policy to w; irh w? are divine. !
and shall give. a united, and therefore
an ellk-ient, support.
In all of this we are more fortunate j
than our opponents, who now appeal
for confidence on the ground, which
some express and some seek to have j
confidentially understood, that it' triuuphant
they may he trusted to prove
false to every principle which in tins
last eight years they have iu.d down !
as vital, and to leave undisturbed those |
very acts of the administration because
of which they ask that the admlnistra- j
tion itself be driven from power. Seem- i
ingly their present attitude as to their !
past reeord is that some of them were j
mistaken and others insinci re. We >
make our appeal in a wholly different |
spirit. W'e are not constrained to keep
silent on any vital question; we are di- I
vided on no vital question; our policy 1
is continuous anil is tho u-u.w. f..r oil
sections and localities. There Is nothing
experimental about the government j
we ask the people to continue in power. !
for our performance in the past, our j
proved governmental efficiency, is ? |
guarantee aB to our promises for the |
future. Our opponents, either openly
or secretly, according to their several
temperaments, now ask the people to
trust their present promises in consideration
of the fact that they intend to
treat their past promises as null and i
void. We know our own minds and we
have kept of the same mind for a suf- j
ticient length of time to give to our j
policy coherence and canity. In such a i
fundamental matter as the enforcement
of the law we do not have to depend
upon promises, hut merely to ask that
our record lie taken as an earnest of
what we shall continue to do. In dealing
with the great organizations known
as trusts, we do not have to explain
why 'lie laws were not enforced, but
to p.'int out that they actually have
born enacted to increase the effectiveness
of their enforcement. We do not
have to propose to "turn tli rascals
out," for we have shown in very deed
that whenever by diligent investigation
a public official can be found who has
betrayed his trust he will be punished
to the full extent of the law without
regard to whether he was appointed
under a Republican or a Democratic
administration. This is the efficient

them out. ami it has the writ e? sincereitv.
Moreover the betrayals of trust
in the last seven years have been insignificant
in number when compared
with the extent of the public service.
Never lias the administration of the
government been on a cleaner and
higher level; never has the public
work of the nation been done more
honestly and Efficiently.
'1 lie President then discussed the lasers
of protection, reciprocity and our
foreign policy at some length.
He said further:
"We earnestly desire friendship with
all the nations of the New and Old
Worlds; and we endeavor to place our
relations with them upon a basis of reciprocal
advantage instead of hostility.
We hold that the prosperity of each
nation is an aid and not a hinderaneo
to the prosperity of other nations. Wo
si ek international amity for the same
reasons that make us believe in pi ace
vithin our own borders; and we seek
this peace not because we are afraid or
unready, but because we think that
peace is right as well as advantageous.
\nicrican Interests in the Pari He
have rajHclly grown. American enterprise
lias laid a cable across this, the
icatest of aceans. We have proved in
effective fashion that we wish tho
Chinese Empire well and desire its integrity
and independence.
Our foothold in the Philippines
greatly strengthens our position in tho
competition for the trade of the Kast;
but we tire governing the Philippines in
the interest of the Philippine people
themselves. We have already given
them ti large share in their government
and our purpose is to increase this
share as rapidly as they give evidence
( f increasing fitness for the task. The
great majority of the officials of the
islands, whether elective or appointive,
arc- already native FilipiAos. We are
now providing for a legislative assembly.
This !s the first step to lie taken
in the future; and it would he eminently
unwise to declare what our next
step will be until this first step hns
been taken and the results are manifest.
To have gone faster than wc have
already gone In giving the islandeis a
constantly increasing measure of selfconstantly
increasing measure of selfgovernment
would have been disastious.
At tho present moment to give
political independence to the islands
would result in the immediate loss of
civil rights, personal liberty and public
order, as regards- the mass of the
Filipinos, for the majority of tho islanders
have been given these great
boons by us, ami only keep them hecause
we vigilantly safeguard and
i90i.
guarantee them. To withdraw our
government from the islands at this
time would mean to tlie average native
the loss of his barely-won civil freedom.
Wo have established in the is
lam's". a government by Americans as:
