l\ The trial of Dr. Ivan Pantehenko,
\ the physician whose profession w.is
murder, for the death of Count Vassili
Itauturlin by the injection of
diptheria Rerms, is still occupying
the center of the stage in St. Petersburn,
with the ripples of excitement
extending past the shores of Europe
and even touch inn America. The
crime for which the physician is being
tried, the murder of Count Tlouturlin,
one of the most craftily-planned
and cold-blooded in the history
of Russia, is only a drop in the bucket
compared with the numerous other
killings the noted doctor has confessed
to and which he has subsequently
denied, but which will proiiably
be fastened to him by the prosecution.
He was a murderer by profession:
a man who carefully planned each of
his crimes and then carried them
through to a successful completion
for a certain amount of money. Artistic
murders, singly, or in blocks,
have been his specialty. Russia has
produced many famous criminals,
and during the reigns of some of
her monnrclis marvelous crimes have
been committed there. Put never in
recorded history has one man done
such wholesale slaughter by such

In his awful work he has employed

that tended to shield him from ev n

his own safety it was necessary that

K<-Uy was successful in many of
his adventures between the Canadian
shores and the mainland in Washington
and Oregon, and it is believed
he smuggled several hundreds of
thousands of dollars' worth of contraband
goods, including opium into
the I'nited States during the last la
years.
He always worked alone, and.
though deserted when arrested the
last time, he would give not the
least inkling as to who financed the
expeditions or who assisted him. He
said little at the trial and was convicted
following a brief hearing, and
sentenced to serve two years.
When opium began pouring into
the country from over the British

customs inspectoVs searched the
country in an effort to trace the

conversation between two prosperous
business men at Olympia. the capital
of Washington. Kelly was caught

ally those engaged In agriculture. (
The purpose of the amendment is to |
authorize the department of agriculture

"These gentlemen of the committee

menial fertilizers to the amount o>
$1 20.000,000 every year, and of this
amount $8,000,000 of it is expended ]
for potash alone. The gentlemen
will also remember that a complete
commercial fertilizer consists of err- ,
tain proportions of nitrogen, phos- ,
phoric acid and potash.
Nitrogen from Chile.
"The bulk of the nitrogen of the
country used for fertilizer purpose's
comes from Chile. Almost the entire
amount of potash consumed in
this country, in fact nil of it nnnmc
from (lormnny. The fact is that
Ormany has n complete monopo?.?

world, and the people of the United
States are absolutely dependent ui?
on the Herman people for their supply
of potash, one of the essential ingredients
of a complete commercial

"I do not intend at this time to
discuss this controversy, though it
is my purpose later to have something
to say about if and to ascertain.
if possible, the reasons for tho
delay of the State department in

It was this controversy which directed
my attention to the fact that the
people of the United States, the
