A N1H1L1sT's SUICIDE.
He Had Tried to Wreck the Cars
Train.

LoNDoN, March 26.-Apotowski,
one Of the nihilists suspected of hav-
ing planned and executed the
wrecking of the czar's railway train
at Borki a few years ago, has com
mitted suicide while temporarily
insane. Just before the affair at
Borki he disappeared from his ac-
eustomed haunts. He was doctor
by profession and very old. He had
always been somewhat mysterious
person, and did not thoroughly
fraternize with the nihilists, though
he was one of their number. He
was traced by the Russian police to
BerDe, and later to Paris. In 1883
he appeared i'm London, where he
has resided ever since, being con-
stantly under the watch of Scotland
Yard detectives. For year or two
after coming to London ApOtowski
was known to receive assistance
from Russian nihilists. He finally
became demented and wrote men
acing letters to the czar, Prince Bis
marck and other high personages.
His activity in this respect kept the
foreign officers of Europe busy with
complaints and inquiries. OF late
the wretched old man had lodged
with a French cook in Chatton
garden.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.-The
members of the Republican comfy
committee who retired from that
body Monday evening had another
meeting and a memorial to the Re-
publican state central committee
was adopted, setting forth their
grieva nces. The memorial says
that, while they repre- sent the wishes
Of majority of the Republican
voters of San Francisco, they hap
pen 10 be a minority of the county
committee, and say that their with
drawal from the county committee
was caused by its refusal to adopt
resolutions calculated to give them q
fair and equal representation at the
polls at the primary election. The
memorial demands:
First-An honest ballot and true
count of the votes east; the fire and
the police departments must keep
of their hands at the primaries
fraudulent voting must be made i'm
possible.
Second-The privilege of naming
one-half the judges, inspectors and
clerks at each polling place.
Third-Naming of an impartial
returning board to canvass the votes
81 as TO secure true vote of the
people.
Fourth Records their hostility to
bossism and denounces the system,
and declares the words "boss" and
"boodle" are synonymous in San
Francisco politics. Leaders there
must he, but that word creates ideas
of liability, decency, dignity and
honor.n
In submitting the memorial the
memorialists say:
"We repeat that We wish to do no
act which will have u tendency to
disrupt the party, but we do most
emphatically repeat that we intend
to stand up to the principles herein
enunciated; that we demand our
rights aud the natural rights of the
Republican voters we represent. We
appeal to your superior Judgment
for counsel aud for action, hoping
you may designate some way by
means Of which all the Republican
voters Of San Francisco may be
insured fair recognition at the polls
and in the affairs OF tue Republican

President Elicit sends the follow

"Report In Salt Lake Tribune is

died In short time. AT post
mortem examination Ofth stomach,
the walls and lining were found
normal, but literally filed with
nails, screws, lacks and broken glass

stance Of perforation in any part of
the stomach or throat, but beginning
from the base Of the tongue back to
the esophogus, and from there en-.
tirely down into the stomach, nails,
tacks and glass were found. In the
