More WOrkmen Killed and Wounded
by C0ssacks-AnOther Alleged
Plot Against the Gar.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 24.-The polit-
ical situation is so serious that Emperor
Nicholas held a meeting of the ministers
yesterday TO consider the state of public
affairs. The Car presided at the council,
which was convened at the Tsarskoe
Palace. 1t was decided not to abolish the
law for drafting recalcitrant students into
the army, but for the present to refrain
from applying the law. 1t was
resolved to revise the university
statute. Threatening letters have been re-
ceived by Lieutenant General Kouropatkine,
minister of war: NJ. N. V. Mouravieff. min
lister of justice, and NJ. Sipiagnine, minister
Of the interior
Renewed demonstrations on a great scale
are expected tomorrow. 1t is reported
that Prince Viazemsky has been disgraced
for petitioning the Car to consider the
grievances of the students.
Lagowsk, the provincial official who last
Friday attempted to assassinate Privy
Councillor Pobedonostzeff, procurator gen.
eral of the Holy Synod, is a disciple of
Count Leo Tolstoi and he has asserted that
the act was one of revenge for the excom-
munication of Tolstoi.
According to a special dispatch to the
Rossya the governor general of Kieff, Gen.
Dragomiroff has published & riot ordi-
nance similar to that published by General
klejges in st. Petersburg and declaring
that the military will be called out unless
the ordinance is strictly obeyed.
Fhe day passed quietly in ST. Petersburg.
Some forty thousand persons promenaded
about noon along the Nevsky Prospekt, par
ticularly i'm front of the Cathedral of Our
Lady of Kazan. The crowd dwindled to
normal proportions when it became ap-
parent that nothing would happen. The
promenaders were for the greater part
curiosity seekers.

Horrible Suicide of Toledo Woman
Cut on Her Skin, Ears and Toes
with a Pair of Scissors.

NILES, Mich, March 4-W. j. Gilbert,
former mayor of this town. reputed to be
wealthy and one of the best known and
most respected citizens of Berrien county,
found dead to-day in a storehouse in
the rear of his residence where he had
ended his life with a bullet. Grief over
the misfortune of bosom friend is be-
lieved to have caused the suicide
Warm personal relations existed between
Mr.. Gilbert and Charles A. Johnson, cashier
of the First National Bank, who fled
few hours before the failure of that institu-
ton and who was fought back under ar
rest from Ohio few days ago, charged
with wrecking the bank. Mr.. Gilbert was
Johnson's legal adviser and trusted him
unreservedly. The two We're together much
and their regard for each other was mat
ter of common knowledge among their as
sociates. They were engaged in many en-
terprises together and both, for nearly thir-
ty years. had taken leading part COM
mercially and politically, in the development
of the town. How far Mr.. Gilbert's busi-
ness affairs were affected by Johnsons
operations and the collapse of the First
National Bank only a full investigation of
that institutions condition can disclose.
Mr.. Gilbert, aside from his own possess
sions, held many estates in trust, acted as
guardian in several instances. and acted
as loan agent for considerable Eastern
capital. He did much business through
Johnsons bank. and it is thought was
large loser through the failure.
Mr.. Gilbert had been missing since FRI
day morning when, after breakfast, he
started toward town. Everything was found
In perfect order in his law office but un-
finished business and an unlocked safe
showed that he had been there Friday
morning. Friday evening the Republican
primaries of the Second ward were to have
been held in Mr.. Gilbert's office but he
failed to put in an appearance. His only
daughter. Miss julia was of the opinion
he had gone out of town. To-day a search
by his friends disclosed the suicide.
Mr.. Gilbert had served successfully as
justice, Circuit Court commissioner di-
rector of the School Board, city attorney
alderman and mayor.

LONDON. March A-The dismissal of
Mr.. McLeavy Brown from the post Of di-
rector general of Korean customs. is re-
garded In London as another score for Rus
sia. IN 1895. and again in 1898. Russian
pressure was exarted to procure his re-
moval In the latter case he was only re-
instated after a British squadron had
moved to Chemulpo.
AS recently a few months ago Russia
strongly opposed an attempt by Mr.. Brown
20 raise loan for the Korean government
to purchase shares in the railway from
Seoul TO Fusan. AS a result of her oppo-
sition the negotiation for the loan failed.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the
Daily Mall asserts that NJ. Pavloff, Rus
sian minister at Seoul. has protested
against Korea taking foreigners into the
government service with the exception of
Russians, and demanded the appointment
OF the latter. but Korea seemed determined.
with the help of the powers, to defend her
integrity.
