wbttro he wan to make bin weekly re-

The iiHutiMiilnatlon I* bellevod to lie
the outcome of • widespread plot, the
cxlatenco of which hnu been inspected
for several days. Numerous arrests
have llready been made, Including that
of tlie nHNiiw-ln, a young man who in
believed to a Klnn of the natno or Lcglo
and who Ih now In a hospital perhaps
fatally Injured by the explosion of his
own bomb. An accomplice of LegIo,
also apparently a Finn, but whose narao
I* unknown, hns been arrested, lie had
In his possepslon a bomb which ho tried
to throw, but he wni overpowered by
the police Just In time to nrevent great
loss of life.
The nxsasflln wore a brown overcoat
and a railroad ndlcer's cap. He stood
on the sidewalk Just as Minister Von
Plehvo's carriage.was about to cross
tho cnnal bridge near the station. The
minister wns escorted by a number of
detectives on bicycles, and one of them
Jostled the assassin, who then rushed
Into the road and threw the bomb aft-
er the carriage. The missile struck the
hind wheel anil exploded with fearful
force, killing or wounding n\ore than
a score of persons. Minister Von
Plohve and bis coachman were killed
outright. and an officer of the guard
was fatally Injured. One of the cyclist
detectives nrrested the assassin, who
endeavored to escape, though wounded
by splinters in the face, arm and ab-
domen. He made no attempt at re-
sistance. however, when seized by the
detective, confessed his crime, but re-
fused to give his name.
As Minister of Justice Muravleff was
driving to the Peterhof palace to re-
port to Emnernr Nichols" the assassi-
nation of Minister of Interior Vor.
Plehve, stones were thrown at him and
bis carriage windows were broken.
The Identity of the minister's assail-
ants hns not yet h°en discovered.
Extended accounts of Von Plehve's
career accompany the description of
Tils assassins Hon. It is alleeed that
he spent os much as ?"00.ft00 yearly
in police m"asures for his personal pro-
tection. Little surprise Is felt at the j
removal of a man who. though honest ;
and able and' wcll-meaulnu was re-|
garded as the evil g°ni'is of lil3 coun- ,
try. The newspapers een°ra!lv extend ,
the utmost sympathy <n c.?r. who
Is surrounded with difficulties both at
liome and abroad.

BENATOn FtlED T. DUBOIS.
Of vote before the result of the first
ballot could be announced. The sen-
ator met the presidential candidate for
the first time.
Judge Parker was so much Inter-
ested In the political- conditions in
western states that he did not give
Senator Dubois an opportunity to
broach his mission until the arrival of
Mayor McCIellan, of New Y'ork, and
his party, who called for an hour.
After the New Y&rl; party left Rose-
mount Senator Dubois asked Judge
Parker to take up the Mormon ques-
tion as set forth In the democratic
platform In his letter of acceptance of
the democsatlc nomination. Judge
Parker exhibited great interest in the
subject and promised to make It a
study before the final touchcs are put
on his letter.
Conditions In several of the west-
ern states, Senator Dubois said, gave
the democrats a good chance of suc-
cess. He mentioned particularly
Idaho, Ccloredo, Montana and Ne-
vada. In Washington It has been set-
tled that former Senator George Tur-
ner will be nominated for the govern-
orship. There Is a local fight on in
Washington over an effort to compel
the railroads to pay "their just share
! of taxation," which ^Senator Dubois de-
I clarea would weakW Ihe 'republican
I party and added to the personal popu-
j larity of Senator Turner, would enable
the democrats to carry Washington.
