Michael May Succeed to the Rus

NEW YORK, Sept. PA Berlin cable
to the Herald says: 1t is rumOred here
that the ear of Russia will alter the
succession to the throne, making the
Grand Duke Michael, bis youngest son,
his successor. 1t is supposed that the
reason for this step is that the care
witch Is of So sulky a nature, ana is
totally without force of character. Be
sides this. lie has extremely radical
opinions, opposed to The persecution of
the Jews, and in many other ways is not
in accord with his father. The Grand
Duke George. the czar's second son,
cares little for political life. He is
jolly sailor and careless fellow. The
cars affections are centered in the pre-
cociouS Michael.

known, but the owners directly charge
the deadly deed upon some members of
the seamen's union. One of these.

The boarding house was kept by JOHN
Curtin. Il was Curtin's custom to Sc
cure bprths for his patrons on ships enl-
plOying n0n-uniOn men. In this way
he incurred the enmity of the sailors
union. Less than week ago his place
was entered by a crowd of union men
led by john Tyrel. Curtin WAS threat
enPd. ana when the men left they
told him his house had only short time
to exist. Last night all the inmates re-
tired as usual. Soon after midnight an
explosion occurred, shaking the city for
blocks. The entire front Of the board
ing house VAS torn away. carrying the
front of the adjacent structure with it.
Mel were thrown from their beds across
the street. The sidewalk where the ex-
plosiOn took place was ripped to atoms.
A black hole, with smouldering beams
about il. showed where the bomb blew
up. Four grOaning victims lay On the
street near by. and beside them were
two c0rpsrs, stripped of nearly every
bit Of clothing, lying in pool of blood
and cinders. An ambulance was soon
on the scene. and the victims were
quickly RESCUED from the debris and
taken to the hospital. The killed and
wounded are as follows: Dead. George
