4 RUSSIAN REACTI0NlST
SUCH WAS MURDERED MINISTER
sipingdine the Tool of Those Re-
sponsible for the present
Unhappy Situation.

St. Petersburg April 17.-Although NJ.
Sipiaguine, the minister Of the interior,
who was assassinated, was not actually the
leader Of the reactionary party in Russia,
he was the tool of those who, in the opin-
ion of many, were responsible for the
prevailing situation. His assassination,
easily explicable in the present political
condition, was hailed with JOY in radical
circles.
For month there had been daily ru
mors of Sipiaguines impending resigna
tion owing to disagreements with the
governor general Of Moscow, the Grand
Duke Sergius, who has been supporting
the novel policy towards the working
classes instituted by NJ. Trepoff, the po-
lice project of Moscow, which include the
organization of labor unions under po-
lice control. The murdered minister's
name was also mixed up with the stories
of financial Irregularities alleged against
SO many officials at present Sipiaguine
spent immense sums in redecorating his
residence, and he was accused of appro-
priating 100000 roubles from the secret
service funds. The deceased was by no
means talented, and owed his position to
influential friends. Many people think
that the death of Sipiaguine will help the
aspirations Of NJ Witte, the finance min
lister, who has long been ambitious to be-
come imperial chancellor or, at least OBJ

KEEPS ON BUYING
Coombs of Boston Puts Sos, ooe
More Into Sioux City.
MORE sTIcKNEY-cLARK RUMoRs
thing to Be
Doing Soon.

Special to The Journal
Sioux City, Iowa, April IA big stride
was made yesterday in the progress Of
John c. Coombs, the Boston railroad pro-
moter who secured control of the million
dollar combination bridge at this point
last fall by buying up the stock in the
Credits Combination company, when deeds
were filed in the county recorders Office
transferring to Combs $64,50O worth of
property lying between the Union passen-
ger station and the combination bridge.
The property is now occupied by a large
hotel and other big structures, which
will be torn down to give trackage from
the union station direct to the combina-
tion bridge Over these tracks the Great
Northern's cars for the ONeill short line
will be running in few months.
COMBS has previously announced he
expects to make the million-dollar bridge
profitable by absolutely new railroad con-
hections. 1t is known he has conferred
with Senator Clark of Montana, whose
new railroad needs an eastern connec-
ton. And the fact that the property
Coombs bought yesterday meaning an
outlay of 100000 in cold cash, connects
two large properties that have never
been profitable, indicates he expects to
use the tracks into the station, and, if
necessary, the bridge across the river.
This suggests the Great Western rail-
road, and SO the best prophets agree the
Stickney- Clark combination, with Coombs'
connections, is the most likely yet sug-
gested.
The complacency with which Coombs
continues to sink cash into his scheme
indicates he must hold trumps some
where in his hand.

Down Blue, wife of Major Rupert Blue, a
United States army surgeon, was granted
a divorce to-day by Judge Tarrant of the
circuit court. Major Blue had put in an
answer, but it was Withdrawn. Mrs,
Blue charged cruel and inhuman treat
ment and neglect to support in her COM
plant
At the trial, when the answer was with
drawn, an attempt was made to procure
decree on the charge of non support only,
but Judge Tarrant did not consider it
sufficient. The principals were married
at Chicago, March 4, 1895.
Mrs. Blue alleged that her husband was
so cruel to her that it was no longer safe
for her to live with him. The complaint
relates that the defendant, "by means of
acts of violence to the person of the
plaintiff and by other means, treated her
in cruel and inhuman manner; that he
has. frequently applied to her vile cpl
thets; that he has at divers times inten-
tionally beaten, bruised and wounded her
person and thereby caused her to become
sick, sore and disabled, and to suffer great
physical and mental pain, and that In adj
dition to the acts of violence to her per-
son, his conduct toward her has been con-
! tinually harsh and irritating to such
degree as to cause her great mental pain
and anxiety and to make it unsafe and
| improper for her to live with him.
Major Blue is connected with the marine
service of the government. He has been
stationed at San Francisco and other i'm
portant military stations. His brother is
Lieutenant Blue. who did some daring
work in connection with the feet which
waited outside Santiago for Cervera's
squadron, going almost into the camp OF
4 the Spaniards.
Mrs. Blues home is at Washington, D.
c., and it is said she will return there.

disagreed upon the merits Of Lord Mil

"Sparring for time" best describes the
present status of the negotiations. An

result of semi independent action by Lord
Miner and Lord Kitchener at Pretoria
than of the rather involved conditional

The broad lines of Great Britain S
terms are now known to the governme
representatives at Pretoria, and on these
representatives the cabinet is entirely
shifting the responsibility of taking ad-

cardinal principles be sacrificed.
There is reason to believe that the Beers
