tives, all in Kishineff and formerly of

Jewish massacre in Bessarabia. In a
letter received Friday and mailed on
April IL, Mrs. A~nenberg described the
horrors of these massacres. saying in
part:
Our escape was due to the fact
that we were in the house of a Rus
sian Gentle when the murders were
being committed. Corpses lay un-
buried throughout the streets. Jewish
girls were assaulted by Russians, who
looted the city. One little girl was
assaulted by so brutes. She died a
few minutes afterward. In companies
of 200 the Russians marched the
streets, destroying houses and barns
and killed all Jewish men, women and
children they found. When the mas
sacre was well under way the gov
error and chief of police encouraged
the robbers and murderers, crying to
them in Russian, Hurry up and finish
your work. Saloons and wine cellars
were raided and the cutters flowed
with liquor. Wealthy men were beg
CARED in an instant. Vineyards and
farms were laid waste. The entire
financial loss was over $5 1000, 900"

Judge Whitfieid's New Term.

Judge A. II. Whitfield of the Su-
preme Court began his new term as
judge of the high court last week.
Judge Whitfield was recently APP,
pointed by Gov. Longino to succeed
himself. The term just beginning
is for nine full years and the Judge
will draw the increased salary which
the last Legislature provided. The
salaries were increased by the legis-
lature to $4,000, to begin after the
expiration of the terms then pend
ing, as the salaries could not be in
creased or diminished for the terms
running. Judge Whitfield has been
ranking as chief justice of the court,

the court to the justice whose term
will first expire. The title now goes
to Judge Price, who is now serving
the unexpired term of Judge Terral.

was expected as a matter Of course
bv the people of the State and there
was no opposition whatever to him.
On the contrary he seemed to be the
unanimous choice of the people.

Folk that he had been paid a regular
salary of $500 for each session during

fesSion started.

INDICATIONS OF A PLOT.
Reasons Found for the Extrnordi-
nary Police PrecautiOn During
R~OOsevelt's Stay In Oakland.

Oakland, Cal, May 16.-The extreme
diligence which was exercised by the
local police department in guarding
President Roosevelt during his jour
ney through and brief visit in Oak
land was the subject of much COM
ment Thursday, and this %eXtraordi-
nary precaution is now explained by
the fact, not heretofore known to the
public, of information received by the
authorities of a plot, which. if car
ried out, might have meant the as
sassination of President Roosevelt.
Late Wednesday night Mayor Olney
received a communication signed *.
ST." stating that two men named
Charles Girardo and Antonio Polivin-
co, the latter an Italian who tried to
kill the emperor of Austria before
ST. Stephens church, in Vienna, on
May 13, 1897, had agreed to meet at
Girardo's house to discuss the kill
ing of the president. The writer
added:
Il heard that Girardo was in CORE
spondence with CZolgosz at Los An
geles."
The letter was referred to the po-
lice, who decline to discuss the mat
ter.

THROWING MONKS IN PRISON.
Government Pursues Repres-
sive Measures Against Unau-
thOrixed Congregations.

Paris, May 16.-The government Is
pursuing actively the %repressive meas
ures against unauthorized congrega-
tions. These measures are now prin-
cipally confined to judicial action. The
opposition to them seems practically
to have ended, although the manifes-
tations caused by the trials continue.
The trial of ten %Capuchins at Lem
ans, Friday, drew a crowd of 5000
sympathizers around the courthouse.
The monks were cheered, many wom-
en- strewing flowers in their pathway.
In court the superior of the Capuchins
made an eloquent defense, and was
much ~applauded by those present.
The Capuchins, however, were SEN
fenced to pay the minimum fine of
$500 each. Then they were escorted
back to their convent by the crowd,
which chanted on the way. Socialists
attempted a counter manifestation at
Lemans. but the sympathies of the
crowd evidently were with the monks
and order was not disturbed.
Seven Redemptorists were arrested
at Vanenco-Sur-Rhone for refusing to
leave their convent. They were led
from the building by the police, es'
corted by several hundred of their
friends. The police finally placed the
monks in the BLACK Maria" and thus
took them to prison, where they were
locked up.
Amid many manifestations of sym
pathy several Capuchins were tried
at Blois, convicted and sentenced to
pay a fine of &c each.

TURKISH
Bulgaria Complaining to the Pow
ers of the Severity of the Turkish
Authorities in Macedonia.

London, May 16.-The correspondent
of the Times at Sofia cables as fol-
lows:
Bulgaria has called the attention
of the representatives of the powers
here to the severity practiced by the
Turkish authorizes in Macedonia, the
outrages committed by the armed
Mohammedan population, and TO the
secrecy of the proceedings of the Sa-
lonica court-martial, which precludes
consular intervention.
Nothing is known here of the al
legged Bulgarian note to the powers,
but if serious complications are to be
avoided these matters must receive
the serious attention of the powers.
"A state of terror prevails in the
Djuma, Raslog, Melnik and Karatova
districts. Many villages are block
aled by the Turkish troops, and some
have been bombarded and burned.
"The Bashi Bazouks are assisting in
the work of destruction.

AN INDIAN CHIEF EXECUTED.
Panama, Declaring He Was
Only an Accomplish.

Panama, May 16.-Victoriano Loren.
20, the Indian chief, who was a leader
of guerillas during the recent revctu-
ton, and who was sentenced to death
by a court martial Thursday, on vari-
charges of having committed seri-
Gus crimes while in the field, was exc
cuted by shooting here Friday after
noon. Gov. MUS and the consular rep
resentatives petitioned Gen. Briceno,
the military commander on the 18TH
nus to postpone the execution until
the government at Bogota had had
time to answer a cablegram sent it
asking that the Indians sentence be
chan ed to life Imprisonment. Gen.
Briceno refused this petition.
The shooting of Lorenzo has created
a profound impression here.

VETOED ANOTHER MEASURE.
Gov. Yates Killed n Bill to Establish
Il State board of Dental
Examiners.

Springfield, H., May 16.-Gov. Yates,
Friday. vetoed Senator Glark's bill to
establish a state board of dental ex-
aminers. The bill provided that the
board should consist of five members.
three to be appointed upon the rec
ommendation of the Illinois Dental So
ciety. This restriction in the appoint
ment of the members of the board is
the main reason given by the gov
ernor for disapproval. The veto mes
sage goes into the subject OF appoint
ment upon the recommendations of
societies at length, and says that the
tendency to permit societies to name
boards of state officers is leading and
tending to abuse. On this subject the
governor says that government by So
ciety is as Objectionable as any other
form of government not recognized by
the work of destruction"

SLEEPING IN THE OPEN AIR.
President Roosevelt Enters Yosemite
Valley with Naturalist
John Muir.

Wawona, Cal, May 16.-President
Roosevelt, for the second time since
he left Washington on his present trip,
is cut off from communication with

A detachment Of the Ninth cavalry,
which is stationed at Wawona, was at
the station to meet him, and acted as
an escort in the Big Tree country.
The presidential party boarded stages
and started on their 44-mile ride to
the Big Tree country, where the night
was to be spent. The day was warm
and the dust thick, and the ride had
not progress far when the members
of the party resembled individuals
clad in khaki. Luncheon was eaten
at Ahwahnee, which place had been
reached in record time. An exciting
incident occurred during the ride
from Ahawhnee to the Big Tree grove.
\ small forest fire was raging close
to the trail, causing a heavy pail of
smoke to obscure the road. The trail
at this place runs along a steep side
of the mountain. The driver never
faltered. He dashed the horses, and
the president was soon out of the
fire zone. 1t was about four o'clock
when the party arrived at the Big
Tree grove, and the president spent
two hours admiring these wonders of
nature. He then mounted a horse,
and, with John Muir, the naturalist,
and Guides Leonard and Leidigh, who
are members of the forest rangers,
started for his camp. He spent the
night in the Big Tree grove, sleeping
in the open air, wrapped in blankets.

Mccarthy, the wife-murderer who
was to be hanged at eight o'clock FRI
day morning, took morphine some

thing he ought not to do. McCarty
called for whisky, and Wallace
brought him coffee instead. He drank
the coffee and went into violent con-
vulsions. McCarty died at S:15.

Four Are ~Unopposed.

In spite of the unusual spirit Of
the State campaign and the strenu-
business hat is being displayed in
many OF the contests, there are still
four State officers who are running
unopposed for reelection, and there
seems to be little likelihood that
they will have opponents.
The four officers in question are
Insurance Commissioner w. C.
Cole, State Superintendent Of Edu.
cation Whitfield, State Land Com
missioner Nall and State Revenue
Agent Writ Adams. These gentle
men have made several trips out
among the voters, but they are not
wasting much time and money in
conducting active campaigns, be-
lieving that the voters of the State
would prefer to see them giving act
i've attention to their duties, and
feeling confident of a cordial en-
dorsement of their respective add
ministrations when the votes are
counted after the August primary.

WOMEN MAY TAKE A HAND
The Murder of Marcum at Jackson,
KY, May be Avenged by
Female Relatives.
SOME OF THEM KNOWN AS DEAD SHOTS.
the Result of a Conspiracy, and
Any of Those Concerned Are
Likely to Fail Before the Bullet
of an AvenginE Nemesis.

Jackson. KY, May ia number OF
citizens who were avowed enemies of
j. b. Marcum have not appeared on
the streets publicly since the assas-
sination, and the impression has got
abroad that they fear some of Mar
Gums women relatives may avenge
his murder.
Nora Patrick, Marcum's niece, who
is preserving the handkerchief she
saturated with her uncle's blood, is a
determined young woman, and is a
dead shot with the rife. When she
saw Marcum lying dead on the
courthouse steps she declared the as
sassin would be made to atone for his
crime.
While Curtis Jett is generally re-
garded as being the assassin, it does
not follow that his is the only life
that would be Il partial eXpiation at
least of the Marcum killing. The
Marcums, and indeed many others,
believe that the murder was the re-
suit of a conspiracy, and any of the
conspirators by the rules of feuds are
subjects for retaliation.
Marcum's ~1G-year-old daughter.
Imogene Marcum, also understands
the use of firearms, but neither of
these young women have given any
sign that they themselves hope to
avenge the murder.
Judge James Hargis, although 5e is
the county magistrate, has not been
to the courthouse since Marcus was
killed. No one has seen him outside
his store. The reason he did not obey
the summons of Judge Benton to go
to Winchester, Wednesday,, is because
he fears assassination, and it is pre-
sumed the same consideration keeps
him indoors. Sheriff Edward Gala
han is a friend of Judge Hargis, but
Judge Hargis has a number of enc
mics in Jackson.
Mrs. Marcum herself is hopeful that
public sentiment will force Gov. Beck
ham to appoint a special judge, or
that the United States courts will
take ~cognizance of the killing. She has
been told it is possible to get the case
into the federal courts if her hus-
band, who was United States commits
sioner, was in the discharge of his
duty at the time. She said to-day that
Marcum, as commissioner, had n
prisoner in Jail. She will not decide
on her life of action until the ar
rival of E. NJ. Marcum, a brother of
her husband.
