More Independence for Press.

"The press should be allowed more in- dependence In order that 1t might, as the exponent of public opinion, assist both the government and the public in their rela- tons.
 "In connection with the cabinet. do not mean the dictatorship of the heart of Lorish-M -Melikoff (who in 1880. after the blowing up of the dining room in the imperial palace at St. Petersburg, was made the, chief of an extraordinary com mission with almost unlimited power, and afterward was appointed minister of the interior.) What Is needed is not so much heart, as firm and enlightened judgement; not so much a dictatorship as uniformity In reaching the goal of harmony

Bomb of an AcCOmpIics is Found in a Canal
OPERATION IS SUCCESSFUL
Slayer of Minister von PIehve Will Be Fully Recovered In Three Weeks, According to Physi-
 clans.

St Petersburg. July So.-(2:52 a. m.)-The police have not yet established the iden- tity of the assassin of M von Plehve or of his accompllee. though 1t has been as- eertained that the former is a little Rus sian, which accounts for his noticeable accent. The accomplice is Jew.
 It has developed that the police for some time past have been aware that plot was maturing against the emperor and notified one of the ministers that a party of foreign anarchists had arrived in St. Petersburg. Several arrests were made some days before the assassination of the minister of the interior. and the police had the assassins' house marked, and trap set for his arrest on the night of July IA. but he did not return home.
 Bomb Dropped In Canal.
 The bomb which the acomplice dropped in the canal after the assassination has been recovered by the police. It is for eign-made, though 1t is believed to have been loaded in St. Petersburg. It is small and melon-shaped, and Is believed to be fully as powerful as the one that killed von Plehve.
 The requiem service at M von Plehve's house tonight was most impressive. The house was beautifully decorated with flowers. Madame von Plehve and her son were present at the ceremony as also were many officials and diplomats A nun in the habit ol her order knelt before the coffin intoning prayers for the dead. These prayers will be continued without Interruption until after the interment.
 The emperor was not present at the requiem tonight. but he will attend the funeral Sunday afternoon.
 Assassin Is Examined.
 The assassin was examined by a magis- trate today and refused to make any statement.
 An account Of the tragedy published this evening says the assassin attempted to commit suicide by shooting He had a revolver in his hand when seized. The operation on him was so successful that he is expected to recover in three weeks
 The murderer is stlll in the hospital He is a handsome man of about 9 years with blonde regular features.

Operators Have Deemed |
 Proper to Make Statement
WEIGHMEN CAUSE FRICTION
Some Miners object to Being Taxed for Purpose of Paying Man to Check the companys
 Representative.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, July 29.-The contro- versy between some of the coal companies and their miners in the upper anthracite coal field over the question of the pay ment of check-weighing and eheek-dock- ing bosses Is attracting much attention and causing considerable uneasiness in the Wyoming and Lackawana districts.
 The situation has reached such stage that the representatives of the operator have deemed it proper to make an official public statement of their side of the case. The statement was made today by s. b. Warriner of the Lehigh Valley Coal conn pany, a member of the anthracite concili- ation board. By way of explanation 1t may be said that at some of the col lieries the mine workers have been per mtted to employ at their own expense, men who are a check on the company weighmen and docking bosses. At most of the mines this scheme works we'll but at others there is friction.

The inspector with his club whirling in the air, ran up flight of stairs leading to Goldens office near the stockyards and seizing the labor leader by the arm. marched Golden to the street. The teamster president was put in charge of a sergeant and sent to the stockyards police station prisoner. Thus for the first time a chief of the striking thousands was taken into custody.
 Golden discovered a wagon owned by Terry & Co., being driven past his office. Putting his head cut of the window, he called to the teamster: Where are you going?" Anywhere l please so long as I attend to my own business" was the re- ply whereupon Golden ordered the driver to turn back.

 his club at the strike leader, declared
 there would be an immediate arrest if

History of Controversy.

MT. WafrinerS statement BlNeS coIl- plete history of the controversy. He quotes a resolution adopted by the board a year ago to the effect that the wages of check weighmen shall be pAid 'by miners requesting it. and that the com pany "shall make the. deduction from the earnings of such miners as legal as- signment." This resolution, adds Mr. War riner, has never been repealed
 Recently. employees of No. eolliery of the Pennsylvania company. MT. War riner says, asked that concern to collect quarter of cent per ton from all min CTS agreeing to the. proposition, and that the money be turned over to an author ized committee of miners. The company replied that 1t was willing to collect the exact wages for the checkmen, but re- fused to collect fund to be turned over to and be held by committee. The mat ter was referred to the board of concilia- tion which could not decide the question, and it was turned over to the umpire. Carroll D. Wright.
 Continuing the statement, he says:
 Umpire Exceeded Authority.
 ''T. D. Nichols, representing the min CTS of District No. 1 asked the umpire to deliver a decision in regard to their ac- tion on the entire subject of check weighmen. The umpire did not sustain the contention of the men, but m addition to his formal finding took occasion to set forth his views concerning the ques- tion asked by MT. Ncholls, and in doing so, exceeded the authority vested in him by the anthracite coal strike committee.
 Tt should be clearly understood that the operators do not object to check weighmen; in fact many of them are in favor of them.
 The operators, however, do not be- leve that it was contemplated by the strike commission that they should dis charge such of their employees az do not desire to join with the majority of their fellows in the request for the appoint ment of the check weighman.'
