to whom he was engaged, and had at
times exhibited signs of madness His
insane love had however served only
to make his alliance delight to tanta.
lie him.
Last night the cars huzzars gave
grand ball at the casino here. The
lieutenant and his afllanced were
present and the lady was the center of
attraction. Prince Nicholas Susso-
witch, captain of the regiment, was
especially attentive to the young
woman and, though warned by his
brother officers to be more discreet, he
insisted on dancing repeatedly with
her.
During one of the dances, Ratio.
witch left the room in burning pas
sion but soon returned.
A few minutes later, Prince Susso-
witch led out the lieutenants affianced
for waltz. The young officer watched
the couple for moment and then,

The bullet struck the prince in the
left breast, pierced h is heart and passed
out under the shoulder. The victim

red torrent over her white ball gown.
The widest excitement ensued and
several officers tried to seize the assas-
sin, but he held them at bay with his
revolver while he backed to where his
dead rival and his afiianccd lay. Then
Selling the girl by the hair he raised
her from the floor and for second
pressed her almost insensiblc form to
his heart.
The next moment the mailman
raised his revolver and sent II bullet
crashing through his brain. Then he
and his afiianced fell to the floor, while
his blood drenched her face and
shoulders and corsage.
All the parties in the sensational
tragedy belonged to the very highest
circles of Russian society.

TEE LONG FIGHT ENDED At LAST.
Mr. Cummings of New York Gives
the Bill u Parting Shot, but II Is
Passed by Vote of 131 to So
Rushed Through the Senate
The Watson Committee
Report-Oates' Report.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The Dur
borrow worlds fair bill carrying an
appropriation of So, 100000 passed the
house this afternoon by a vote of 131
TO SO.
When the house resumed the discus
sion of the bin in committee of the
whole Mr.. Cummings, of New York,
led off for the opposition with bitter
speech against a proposition which he
characterized as one intended to loot
the treasury.
Mr.. Fellows, of New York, eloque nty
supported the bill.
The pending amendment land the
only one) was a substitute offered by
Mr.. De Almond of Missouri for the
first section of the bill. 1t provided if
the Worlds Columbian exposition
should deposit at mint of the United
States sufficient quality of silver
bullion it should be coin
ed and delivered to the eXposi-
tion in half dollar coins in amount not
exceeding $4,000 900. This was re-
jected--yeas rs, nays 130. The roll
was then called for the vote on the
final passage of the bill
A motion to reconsider the vote by
which the bill was passed was laid on
the table, after futile effort to fill
buster was made by MIR Bailey of
Texas.
The worlds fair bill was enrolled in
a few minutes after its passage and
was taken to the senate at 2:a7 o'clock
by Clerk Kerr, but before it could be
presented the senate went into execu-
tive session.
The house took a recess until
o'clock. 1t is the understanding that
the final adjournment will be had to-
night.
When the senate met at 9 o'clock
there was a patient waiting foe mes
sage from the house, but on motion of
Mr.. Mitchell it soon proceeded to eX-
ecutive business During the session
a message was received from the house
with the worlds fair bill. After the
doors were reopened it was laid before
the senate in legislative session.
The bill having been read in full and
the vice president having declared
that the bill was open to amendment,
Mr.. Vest said that if he could defeat
1t by any sort of parliamentary tactics
he should do so very cheerfully
1t was very evident, however, that
the bill would pass and all that
he could hope to do would
he to delay action upon it for a num-
Der of days only In his Judgment
the bill was utterly indefensible and
utterly without legal foundation. Mr..
Cocl1rell also opposed the bill but said
it was useless for him to consume
time in the discussion of the question.
The bill was then passed without q
division.

The Radical Departure From AbranIc

The Radical Departure From Abranlc
Law of Reformers Resented.
NEW York, Aug. 3.--The radical de-
parture in regard to the Abrahamin
rite made by the recent central confer
ence of Hebrew rabbis in this city de-
claring the acceptance of the rite by
proselytes to be optional has aroused
widespread discussion and movement
is on foot to express the sentiment of
the conservatives in opposition to the
reform" There are those who pre-
dict that the outcome Of the action ON
both sides will be to divide Judaism
into two sects; the so called orthodox
body having already taken measures
to call an early convention of rabbis to
excommunicate those who are re-
sponsible for the change.
The Hebrew newspapers throughout
this country and even in Europe have
raised the cry of treason at the alleged
desertion of the rites so particularly
enjoined upon Abraham and his de-
scendants by God himself. The action
has been condemned from many pull
pits and the question of what is to be
done in the emergency has troubled
all of the so-called orthodox Hebrews.
The Jewish Times, a weekly paper
edited by the Rev, DR.. Wcichsler after
cditorially condemning the abolition
of the enforced acceptance of the his
toric Hebrew rite, openly declares
that the ''reformers" by their action
have torn themselves from Judaism
and ought no longer to be considered
Hebrews.
In the same issue proclamation to
all orthodox rabbis in this country is
published requesting them to meet at
some convenient place at n time
to be sele tied and then and there
to declare all followers of the
reform rabbs to be sect
outside of the Jewish church.
This proclamation, published by
DIR, Weichsler was speedily answered
and within Il few days, II is announced,
convention will be held in this city
of all orthodox rabbis America for
the purpose of communicating the
"rcfOrmcrs."
