BISHOP VLADIMIR DEPOSED.


The Trouble In the Greek Church Mt San
Francisco.
San Francisco, Feb. 1.-The trouble
in tho Greek church here, which has
been brewing for months, is likely TO
come to head in few days.
Last Sunday DR.. Nicholas Russell, a
prominent Russian physician, was ex.
communicated by Bishop Vladimir for
refusing to answer charges OF hetero-
doxy. Russell claimed that he could
not attend because he did not recognize
Bishop Vladimir as worthy head OF
tho church. Wednesday he swore out a
warrant charging the Bishop with de-
falcation OF church funds and other
olenses. But the warrant was not
served, as the judge declined 10 sign it
unless there was more evidence.
Late Wednesday night Russell heard
that orders had been received from St.
Petersburg suspending Bishop Vladimir
because OF charges against him OF re.
voting nature. Russell was afraid that
the Bishop would decamp, so he hired
detectives to guard the house Wednes-
day night and they will be kept on duty
till the trouble is ended.

A NARROW ESCAPE
After all the Tricks Of the Demo-
cracy Were Played.
CUTE CARR'S CUPlDlTY,
lie Came Near Giving Up That Which
IIc Prizes Most IN Order to Fur
thcr One ofthc Deep Schemes
of the Party Managers.

SlNctih UtINItCh W HR ifHbiVtHCtTs
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. IAN in.
,eresting bit Of information connected
with tho GDal vote in the Gubernatorial
contest, may throw melight upon Pres
ident Carr's action in voting for Elem.
ing. Carr, it is said, had consuming
desire to occupy the Governors chair
long enough, at least, 10 entitle him TO
enjoy the honor Of having the abbreyia-
ton Gov" preiixcd TO his name for the
balance Of his life. Az President OF the
Senate he would be Governor during a
vacancy in the latter oilioe.
1t was understood, OF course, that vii.
son ceased TO bo Governor the moment
the legislative court rendered It's deci.
sion, but unless the President Of the Sen.
ate was sworn in Immediately the State
would be without q Chief Executive
until the successful contestant took the
oath OF office, which, it was known,
would not occur until Thursday-two
da,s later. l'rchident Carr's ambition
was about TO be realized, and in order to
satisfy it, arrangements were made for
him to take the oath OF office, by virtue
OF which he would be Governor for
about Two days.
1t occurred, however, TO some Dem
ocrats that this action might cause com.
pications in the future. Several able
constitutional lawyers were consulted
and their unanimous opinion was that II
Carr took the oath OF Office as provisional
Governor his position as President OF
the Senate would thereby become vacant.
II the Republicans we're wise, and they
probably were, they would SEQ to it that
their majority in the Senate would at
once elect new President who would
be II struishtout Republican, man
who could be depended upon in case Of
IN emergency, and who would serve
during the coming vacation. The result
OF this state OF affairs can be easily seen.
With a Republican President OF the
Senate, in case OF Governor Fleming's
death or resignation we would have a
Republican Governor after all.
The lawyers gave it US their opinion
that Carr could not retain the presi-
dency of tho Senate il sworn in as Gov
ernor even for day, and the risk OF
future possibilities was too great an un-
dertaking.
1t was whispered that Carr had tip
(how he got it is not positively known
that Fleming will probably resign the
Governorship before long and he will
have II further chance OF Sci wing as Gov.
ernor, and his wisdom in foregoing the
act OF swearing in for petty term Of
two days is APPARENT.
There are some other facts in the
same connection yet to be written that
will make an entertaining appendix to
the interesting political history of the
past fifteen months.
