Attempt to XIII the Car.

London, April 1.-Dispatches from
RUSSIA say that another attempt on
the life of the czar has been made by
an officer of the household. The report
is believed in govepment circles here,
as the censorship is less rigid in its
application to the interior towns than
in st. Petersburg, SO that it il
possible for news to leak out quickly
from the channel. The officer who
made the attempt, dispatch 70 The

The News OF Genera .Agulnaldo's cap;-
ure by General Funston was received
everywhere in official circles with In
tense qualification but, perhaps, no.
where did it create more satisfaction
than at the White House. The first
official news to reach the executive
mansion was General MacArthur's dis
patch announcing the capture which
came about midnight. In the morn
ing the president saw Admiral Rem
eys telegram telling of the capture and
the press dispatches.
The president naturally is very
much gratided that the chief mover
in the insurrection has at last been
taken. 1t has been the opinion of the
military authorities for a long line that
AguinaldO was doing more than all
the other agencies combined to keep
the rebellion in the Philippines alive
and every energy was directed TO COM
pass his capture. 1t is rather a re-
markable tribute to the daring and re-
sourcefulness of General Funston that
long before he made the attempt he
was selected by the authorities here
as the officer who might accomplish 1t.
Fiiipinos Becoming Disheartened.
Manila, March 3O-After being con-
WINGED of Aguinaldo's capture, Gen
eral Geronimo, the insurgent leader In
the province of Morong, Luzon, has
surrendered with six officers, forty-six
men and fifty rifles to Colonel j.
Milton Thompson, of the Forty second
regiment, at San Mateo. AS the news
of Aguinaldos capture spread. through
the archipelago the insurgents are be-
coming disheartened and there is n
marked increase in the number of in
diydual surrenders.
General Cables, who is practically
| outlawed on account of his atrocious
crimes, sent an emissary to General
| Bates, who answered that he must
surrender Internationally and stand
trial. The former insurgent officers
| and the Macabebe scouts who tool;
part in the capture of Aguinaldo will
probably receive monetary reward

Boston, Sept. 23.-The annual state
ment has been made public OF the fiscal
year Of the American Board Of Missions.
The total receipts of the year applicable
for current expenses We're $697,37 total
expenditures, $7l7,Osl. excess of expendi-
lures over receipts, $l0,7l0. which, added
to the debt Of a year ago, makes the pres
ent debt $lS2,34l.
The receipts for the past year, COM
pared with those of last year, show a
gain in donations from churches and in
dividuals Of 1896, a shrinkage in receipts
from the woman's boards of $l6.llS and a
shrinkage in legacies of $3O,206.
A large legacy was expected during the
year, but for good reasons the payment
has been deferred for few weeks. Had
this been received. it is stated, the board
would have met its hopes and would have
made considerable reduction in the debt
with which it began the year. The board
is said to be in a much stronger financial
condition than year ago, notwithstand-
ing the increased debt.

Buffalo. Set. 22-Leon +. Czolgosz,
whose trial for the assassination OF Presi-
dent Mckinley began Monday, was ex-
amined as to his sanity by DIR. Carter +.
Mcdonald of New York, the eminent
physician who was for years chairman OF
the state board Of the lunacy commission.
The prisoners counsel, Judges Lewis and
Titus, were present at different times
during the examination. At its close DR..
Mcdonald declined to discuss the case
and the attorneys would not express their
opinion as to the assassin's mental condi-
ton, although the inference drawn from
their answers was that they believed
Czolgosz was sane. Mr.. McDoland was
brought to Buffalo through the efforts of
Professor Moot and others of the bar as
ISOLATION for the purpose Of passing on
the assassin's mind, as the association has
promised to assist Judges Lewis and
Titu, who were suggested as counsel for
the defense by the trustees of the bar
association.
The examination was held in the pri-
vate office Of District Attorney Penny in
the city and county Jail, preparations for
it being kept secret. Judges Lewis and
Titus appeared at the city hall few
minutes past 3 o'clock and went at once
into the district attorneys private Office.
At 1925 Czolgosz was brought into the
office, handcufFed to- Assistant Superin-
tendent Cussack of the police department.
He had been taken through the tunnel
under Delaware avenue The prisoner
was left alone with Judges Lewis and
Titus.
At 3,40 o'clo"k DIR. Mcdonald appeared
in the district attorneys office and went
at once in the private office with Mr..
Penny. Ten minutes later the two law
yers and the district attorney came out.
leaving DR.. Mcdonald alone with the
prisoner. The prisoner sat at the end of
the district attorneys desk and DR. Nc.
Donald sat in a chair directly in front
OF him, STOPPING down and peering into
Czolgosz's face. They remained alone for
exactly half hour, when the prisoners
attorneys again filed out of the room.
Five minutes later Judge Lewis left to
catch the train for his summer home at
Lewiston. When questioned as to whcth-
err or not the prisoner would talk to his
counsel "a he had refused when Judge
Lewis visited him on Tuesday before the
arraignment to say a word, the veneer
able judge said:
"He is talking more freely, but he is
not voluble chap. He said nothing
