has left for st. Petersburg. Two Aus
trian detectives were ordered to watch
the General from the moment of his
arriving at the frontier. His stay here
was almost unnoticed. In conversation
with journalist, General Skobeleff said

by his recent speech, as much severer
language is being spoken and written in
Russia daily. He said he had spoken
merely as private individual.

MADISON, March 1.-The resolution
amending the constitution so as to ex-
tend the right of suffrage to women was
killed to night after a debate lasting
nearly two hours. Senator Hamilton
made the principal speech of the evening,
and pleaded long and eloquently for fe-
male Acknowledgement. Senator Finken-
burg replied in an able argument against
the resolution. He said that in Germany
the highest ambition of wives and moth
ers was to have happy homes, and by far
the greatest number of women don't
want to vote. The remarks of both
speakers, while they entertained to
marked degree the large audience of Ia
dies and gentlemen present, were the
same that have many times been advanc-
ed for and against woman suffrage, and
contained but little that was new. at
the conclusion of the debate Senator Van
Schaick moved to indefinitely postpone,
which was carried.

VERONA, No., March News reach
ed here to day of the assassination, near
Washburne, of j. Hopkins, of BURY
County, Missouri, by one Rawley. 1t
appears that three years ago Sheriff Hop
kins, who was then sheriff of that coun-
ty, received a requistion from the Gov
ernor of Texas for the arrest of brother
of Rawley's, who was wanted in that
state for murder. In attempting the ar
rest Rawley resisted, shooting Sheriff
Hopkins through the thigh and ear, MAX
ing it necessary for the Sheriff to kill
him. Rawley's father and remaining
brothers armed themselves and, enIisting
the SYMPATHY of friends, openly avowed
their intention to murder the officer,
whose friends in turn backed him. It
was only through the efforts of mutual
friends that bloodshed was avoided. The

from behind stable, fired on Sheriff
Hopkins, hitting him in the breast, caus-
ing his death. Rawley surrendered him.
