men and Citizens killed--Russia On
the Brink Of q Revolution.

LONDON, April 19.-Advices from st. Peters,
burg and Moscow during the past twenty
Tour hours have been Of The most alarming
nature. The authorities OF both cities have
I'm posed an additionally severe censorhip ON
the telegraph, but they have permitted q
number Of dispatches describing the situation

ln cipher. 1t ID not at all exaggeratina the
situation TO say that the represslve measures

Ing met, In anticipation, by most Violent
resistance and self-8ssertion on the part Of

be said to exist throughout the Empire, The
outbreak at Rostoff Is only one OF similar re-
volts that have occurred within short
time.
Rostoff is a town Of about G0OO inhabitants.

great fair is held there every year, which is
attended by 5000 or $1,000 persons. The
town is situated on lake Nero and has ca

and desperate ARRAY followed, In which two
policemen were killed and many persons

THE CHARITY HOSPITAL WARRANTS.
The Case or EOuthmayd Against the
treasurer Taken Under Advlsement.


Treasurer Taken Under Advlsement.
The case of F. r. Southmayd. Treasurer Of
the Charity Hospital. VS.. e. A. Burke. State
Treasurer. was tried In the Fifth District Court
Saturday.
Southmayd alleged that he held warrants to
the amount Of $5ooo for the first quarter Of
1879. and for $4,000 of the second quarter of
1879. which had been presented to the treasurer
April 10. and demand made for payment: that
the treasurer referred him to the rule adopted
for pro rata payment of warrants and failed
or refused to pay his $40 900 warrants, although
funds were In the treasury.
The Attorney GeneralIin behalf Of the Treasu.
rer made answer that In the exercise OF the dis
cretion invested In him by law and under the
constitution he had adopted n rule OF payment
which operated eQuttably towards all warrant
holders and corrected the abuses long COM
planned OF In the treasury.
That under the old rule brokers or persons
who could watch the treasury when moneys
were paid in received all the money. and officers
sue such methods or who were serving In dis
fant parishes. went unpaid.
1t was stated that at the time the legal demand
was made on behalf Of the hospital. April u.
warrants had been recorded and payment de-
manded largely in excess of the funds on hand.
and. therefore that the hospital had suffered no
injury. This case tests the right OF the Treas
urer to establish the rule OF payment now In
loree, and the mandamus. II granted. will
osIai warrants from any funds on hand. which.
oI course. est, ,,ps the Treasurer from carrying
out his established plan of payments.
Inc ludRe has the case under adviSement.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Mr. Sherman said

rather hard. but they were compensated for
this by having three months In which to close
the transaction. It was manifestly the policy
Of the law to give to persons Of limited
means an opportunity to subscribe for these
small certificates, policy In which Mr.. Sher-
man most heartily concurs, and the banks
and bankers as we'll. The circular Issued
yesterday gave notice Of sixty days, which
ends on June II, to all persons who desire these
refunding certificates to apply for them
one time and 1t Is desirable that the greatest
publicity be given to this notice, and efforts
will be made to place the certificates In the
hands OF postmasters and every officer OF the
United States who, under the law, can be
trusted with public money. 1t is hoped that
within sixty days the whole amount of the
refunding certificates, about $35,O00,00O will
be- sold. III not, the offer made by associated
bankers will then be accepted for what may
remain, as the refunding OF the To- 40s Is man.
necessary to provide means Ia some way to
meet the calls. call for the remainder Of
the 10-4Os will be issued In a few days. Secre-
tary Sherman has reissued his circular Of
yesterday with some changes. The second
paragraph is amended to read: "The $40
refunding certificates will be issued for law
ful money, etc" and the second paragraph as
follows: Commissions on such issues etc"
and the following is added: ut isethe
desire of the department to give to every
citizen of the United States an opportunity
to invest, In limited sums his savings In the
certificates ut par and accrued interest. At
the end OF sixty days, to wit, at the close Of
business on the seventeenth OF june the offer
already made for per cent bonds, sufficient
to cover the 10-4O bonds then outstanding, II
any, will be accepted"
