He soon changed it into a daily and has

Throughout nearly all of his journalistic
career Frank Leach has been on terms of
intimate friendship with Coneressman
HHborn, Senator Perkins and Secretary
McKenna, and there Is no doubt that his
acquaintance with these powerful forces
succeeded IN gaining for him The appoint

Mr.. Leacn's strongest competitor was
Senator Eli Denlson, who was regarded
as being certain of the position till about
TWO months ago, when Mr.. Leach re-
ceived a dispatch from Frank McLaugh-
lin, who was then in Washing ION, telling
him that the California delegation had
unanimously agreed on him to succeed
John Daggett.
Senator Denison was considered by the

arose. The Senator went to Washington
and returned a few weeks ago. He still
had hopes of carrying off the Mint ap-

Alexander DeImar, writer on money,
came all the way from London to cheer

affiliation with all existing white metal
parties would be the rule with the new
party if the identity of the Silver Repub-
licans should not be lost, and that plans
would be made Immediately for perfecting
the organization throughout the country.
Towne said that the immediate business
in hand was the determination OF time
ana place of holding the National con-
vention, the mem be rship of which could
make an authoritative claration of prin-
c pies, and the adoption of plan of gen.
eral organization in the States and Terri
tories would follow.

Fifteen Persons Buried
Alive Without Any
Resistance.
How Members of the Raskol-
niki Sect Died Without
Moving a Muscle.
Victims Donned Their Best Gar
ments, Over Which They Placed
ShrOudS

LONDON, ENG, June S.-Further de-
tails have been received from the special
correspondent of the Daily News who is
inquiring into the Tirespol (Russia) trag-
edy, IL which fifteen persons belonging to
the Raskolniki, religious sect, were, of
their own volition, buried alive or walled
up in the cellar of Feodore Kovaloff, now
under arrest. The cellar is cave at the
base of Kovaloff's cottage. In this place,
which is so small that it is marvellous how
so many were buried there, nine bodies
were found, lying alternately head to feet.
In one instance a hollow had been scooped
in the clay TO make room for the head of a
victim.
The governor of the prison in which
Kovaloff was confined learned from the
prisoner that the inteTmsnts were made at
night in the presence of a number of his
co-religionists. The victims donned their
best garments, over which they placed
shrouds. Then they prostrated themselves
silently and resignedly in the graves,
lying in close array, always on the right
side.
They did not utter a moan nor move a
hand or limb while they permitted
Kovaloff to shovel the earth upon them.
Not even the children relented in their
resolution or yielded to The physical in
stinct which causes a dying person to
wrestle in the death agony althou h they
might have stepped out while the clods
were falling upon them
Photographs of the corpses prove that
the victims died motioness. Nine per-
sons were immured in KovaIoff's $ cellar on
Dece mber g. six in Gorsin's garden on
December 27. six in KovaIoff's garden, in
Guiding Vitalia, the prophecies, and
Kovai offs mother, on February 9, and four
in Sukho ifs garden on February %.
Kovaloff, though his face is of poor
type, bears an excellent character, is
sober, thrifty, gentle, affectionate and
welI-to-do, like all the sect.
The correspondent suspects that similar
practices have been going on for years in
the more populous village of Plotzkoe.
The police will shortly search for bodies
at that place.
