A CLOSE DISTINCTION.

The recent action of the coun-
ty court with regard to improve
ment of the roads of the county
has given rise to some confusion
in tie minds of taxpayers as to
the present condition of this
matter. In reply to numerous
inquiries the GAZETTE will at
tempt a brief explanation:
The order made by the new
court at its first session dife rs
only in one point, SO far as we
are able to construe it, from the
policy pursued by Judge Wood
ward. That policy was with re-
gard to volunteer road work sub
scrihed bv the residents OF the
various road districts, to consider
each subscription paper separate
1y, and ascertain whether the
court would be justified by the
law and the general good in
granting the request made by
that particular petition. If 1t
felt SO justified, all order was
made that when the volunteer
work, subscribed by the residents
of the road district in question,
had been expended in the dis
trict where subscribed, or any
portion thereof performed in ac-
cordance with the law, and the
same certified to by the road su-
pervisor of the road district, then
and in that event, the road sup
ervisor was authorized 10 spend a
further sum equal to an amount
not exceeding the amount sub
scribed as shown by said sub
scription papers. the same to be
expended and certified to by the
road supervisor and paid out Of
the general funds of the county.
This was the action taken at its
session July 3rd, by judge Wood
wards court on some subscr1p-
tions in volunteer work then be-
fore it.
This order was annulled by
the new court, but it said with
reference to the order of July 3rd,
the 'order in the main is in ac-
cordance with the views of this
court" So we say that the pol
icy of the new court differs but
slightly from the policy of the
old court. But that slight diff
ference may be a serious one.
Whereas Judge Woodward's
court reserved the right to act On
each subscription paper, separate
ly, as it was offered, the new
court throws down the bars and
says, 1--WE favor the dollar-for-
dollar plan, applied to any and
all districts desiring to avail
themselves of it." The distinction
is a close one, and there is slight
wonder that 1t has caused some
confusion.
While the order is a long one
going into the reasons of the
court for its issuance; the great
benefit of good roads to the farm
of this country, iu Tightening
their burdens and enhansing the
value of their property, and
showing the justice and wisdom
in encouraging the spirit of en-
terprise which leads citizens to
volunteer to do work gratis upon
our roads-the meat of the order,
and its point of difference with
the policy that has been in vogue
for a number of years, is as we
have pointed out. A compari-
son of the two orders which have
in the GAZETTE, will

ASSASSINATION Al
ST. PETERSBURG
Russian Minister Of the Interior Shot
and Killed by a Student.
MURDERER IMMEDIATELY ARRESTED
The Man Did Not Resist Arrest-tIe Said His
Name Was Balsahanstt, That lie Was a
Student at Kieff, Where He Had Been Sen
fenced TO Compulsory Military Service for
Participating Ia the Riots Of 1901.

ST. Petersburg, (By Cable).-The
minister of the interior, NJ. Sipiagune,
was shot and fatally wounded at I
o'clock P. NJ. He died in an hour.
NJ. Sipiaguine was on his way to at
tend a meeting of the committee of
ministers. He had just entered the Of
fee of the imperial council, when the
assassin, who had driven up in a car
riage, approached and handed him a
folded paper saying he had been
charged to deliver it by the Grand Duke
Sergus.
The minister stretched out his hand
to take the document, when the assassin
fired five shots at him. Three of the
bullets struck M. Sipaguine and one
wounded his servant
The assassin did not resist arrest. He
said his name was Balsahanstt; that he
was a student at Kieff, where he had
been sentenced to compulsory military
service for participating in the riots of
1901. He said he had subsequently
been pardoned, but that he had not
been reinstated at the university, and
that he, therefore, revenged himself
upon NJ Sipiaguine. A previous attempt
was made to shoot him OH the Nevsky
prospect about year ago.

LIVE NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Would Aid Discipline.

The prospect for some action on the
bill TO create general staff for the army
is improving in Congress. General Miles
attack on the bill has been much more
than offset by the support given to the
measure by General Schoheld, who has
had greater experience than Miles as an
army officer
General Schoheld's testimony has been
made public. He indorsed the bill, say
ing that he had long since come to the
conclusion that there is no room under
our Constitution for two commanders,
and that the President, whom the Con-
stituton makes the supreme commander,
must act through the Secretary Of War.
He added.
he very exalted individual Office, so
called, of the commanding general of the
army must disappear There is no room
Tor 1t IN this government, no matter who
occupies it,"
Referring to the German system, Gen
eral Schofeld said I'VE would have to
modify their system so as to make it
applicable. If we had at the head of the
army for years the same distinguished
general, other things being satisfactory,
that would be very we'll but what is the
use OF a great general as the nominal
mead OF the army if the President will
not even talk to him except to criticise

Manila, (By Cable. General NAL
var has Internationally surrendered to
Gen. J Franklin Bell, at Lipa, Batangas
province, Luzon, with the entire revou-
zionist force of the provinces of Laguna
and Batangas
The Americans, General Bell, says
can quell the outbreaks in Tayabas and
Cavite provinces and capture all those
in the field who have not surrendered;
but General Malvar has ordered the COM
plete surrender of every Filipino in these
districts to the nearest American force,
General Malvar personally requested an
interview with General Bell in order to
make his complete submission.
About 5000 rifles have been received
by the American officers in Batangas
and Laguna provinces during the last
four months.
Reporting to division headquarters,
General Wheaton says all resistance in
his department has ended. The surren
ders just announced he states, mean that
the ports will be opened and that the
Filipinos in the detention camps can be
allowed to return to their homes in time
to plant crops. General Wheaton de-
clares he is especially pleased with Gen
eral Bells care Of the natives confined in
the camps. The officers in charge are
held personally responsible for the quail
ity and quantity of the food served out
and for the general welfare Of the oc-
cupants.
After securing the mountain passes
General Bell employed volunteer bolo-
men for patrol duty Numbers of-Fili-
pinos volunteered, and, according to
General Wheaton, expressed the liveliest
satisfaction at the treatment accorded
themselves and their families, who were
in the concentration camps. General
Wheaton gives General Bell great credit
for his indefatigability in conducting the
campaign. Bell was in the field. on
horseback, day and night, personally
experimenting the most arduous opera
tions.
The people of Manila are delighted at
the prospect of resumption of trade
with the pacihed provinces.
The lack of news from Samar is due
to defective cable. 1t is believed that
the American commander there has re-
ceived the surrender of all the revolu-
tionists in Samar unless the planned pro-
ceedings were altered.
