RUSSIAN POLICE
STAND AMAZED
Other High Officials Said to Be
Selected For Slaughter.
CAR ALONE is EXCEPTED
Assassin Declares He is Not Sorry
for His Deed, ms He Was Actu-
nted By Humanitarian
Motives.

st. Petersburg, July 30.-The police
have not yet established the identity
of the assassin of NJ. Won Plehve, or OF
his accomplices, though it has been as
certained that the former is a little
Russian, which accounts for his notice
able accent. The accomplice is a Jew.
1t has developed that the police, for
some time past, have been aware that
plot was maturing against the car,
and had advised one of the ministers
that a party of Is anarchists had ar
rived in st. Petersburg. Several ar
rests were actually made several days
before the assassination of the minis
ter Of the interior, and the police had
the assassin's house marked and
trap set for his arrest on the night OF
July IA, but he did not return home.
The bomb which the accomplice
dropped in the canal after the assas-
sination has been recovered by the po-
lice. 1t is foreign made, though it is
believed to have been loaded in st.
Petersburg. 1t is small and melon
shaped, and is believed to be fully as
powerful as the one that killed Won
Plehve.
The requiem service at NJ. Won
Plehve's house was most impressive.
The house was beautifully decorated
with flowers. Nine. Won. Phleve and
her son were present at the ceremony,
as also were many officers and diplo-
mats. A nun in the habit of her order
knelt before the coffin, intoning pray
ers for the dead. These prayers will
be continued without interruption until
after the burial.
The car was not present at the
requiem Friday night, but he will at
tend the funeral Sunday afternoon.
The assassin was examined by an
investigating magistrate Friday, and
refused to make any statement.
The post-mortem examination of the
remains of Won Plehve shows that his
death was instantaneous.
The assassin, Lego, alias Porozeff,
carefully planned the crime. He says
he was animated by humanitarian mo-
tives, and does not express the slight.
est regret.
An account of the tragedy says that
the assassin attempted to commit sui
eide by shooting He had revolver
in his hand when seized.
The operation on him was so sue
cessful that he is expected to recover
in three weeks.
The murderer is still in the hospital.
He is a handsome man of about q
years, with blond, regular features.

Washington, July 30.-A newspaper
paragraph from Boston, which was
generally published, stated that Miss
Alice Roosevelt, eldest daughter of
the president, had been requested by
the navy department to christen the
new training ship Cumberland, soon

mad never heard of the matter before,
but it set them thinking with such
good results that Miss Roosevelt will
possibly be asked in the near future
to act as sponsor for the new addition
to the navy.

BOP Van Wyck Won a Million.

New York, June Friends
of former Mayor Robert A. Vun
Wyck, who sailed for Europe ON
the Companla today, learned last
night why be has snapped his fn-
gers at politics, ignored the St.
Louis convention, to which be is
delegate, and is going abroad for
vacation OF many months.
The explanation is remark>
able streak of luck in Wall street
which has made him S1,2OO,OOO
richer. He goes to Europe with
his companions in good fortune
John L. Carroll and Charles W.
Morse.
Mr.. Van Wyck told his friends
the extent of his 'killing.' He
said he had cleaned up a half
million in steel alone, and that his
operations with Mr.. Morse and Mr.
Carroll had netted him in all ST.
200,O IN less than year. time.
Adding this to his already consld-
cradle fortune, he has decided he
says, to give up business altogeth-
er and enjoy himself.
The three men won all their
money on the bear side of the
market, dealing principally in
steel, st. Paul and New York Cen
trail. The winnings of both
Morse and Corroll are said to be
much heavier than those of the
former Mayor. They began to
make heavy sales of stoel at SO
and it went all the way down to 8.
Through his large chain OF banks
Mr.. Morse, it was said last night
came into possession of exclusive
information which convinced him
several months ago of the immin-
enceof an era Of falling prices. The
others plugged on his information.
Their luck was almost startling.

PRESUMPTION REBUKED.
4 Plebeian Purp Gets the Go1d-Fflied
Teeth of an Aristocrattc Cam
nine I'm His Ear.

There was an item famine at Ship News
the other dav. which may have accounted
for the story in red ink that dog fight
on the gangplank OF La Bretagne delayed
the French liners sailing for several min
utes after ten o'clock, the hour set, states
the New York Sun.
What really happened said French
line pier official, who seemed to think
that two yarns were better than one, was
a eaucherie by a proletarian yellow dog
and a reprimand by an aristocratic blue
ribbon bull pup with bat ears.
1.-The yellow dog was excited, never hav,
inc been allowed on board before, and
went up the first cabin gangplank by ms
take, when it should have headed tor the
steerage.
This annoyed the dog with the bat ears
and the topaz studded collar. who was
going aboard at the same time with has
mistress. He put his teeth 1.-TWO filled
with cold) firmly but not viciously, INTO
the ear of the yellow dog, led him down
the plank and along the pier to the loot
of the steerage gangplank and there let
him 20, Then the aristocrat hurried back
to the first cabin and got aboard Just a
minute to ten. That dog was so swell that
Il he had got left lie would have hired
the and chased the liner down the bay. :.
sBut there was no light The Jewelieo
mn was too we'll bred for that. and the
yellow dog was too much awed by the
fopazes to resent being corrected.
Other officials say that no dogs sailed on

ital can be induced to undertake
their exploitation.
Letters have been received asking
the geologist TO make a personal ex-
animation of certain mineral depos-
its. For lack of funds, many OF
these requests had to be denied. In
certain instances, the expenses were
borne by the parties interested and
the examination made. In one in
stance of this kind, tie geologist
found that certain parties had been
encouraged by commercial assayers
to spend $500 in useless prospecting
for valuable ores. So encouraging
were the reports of the assayers, that
much more money would have been
expended if DR.. Logan, the geolo-
gist, had not investigated the de-
post at that time.
Phosphate mari has been found
in several portions of Okubbeha
county. The different substances
of the mari layer contained, accord
ing to a rough estimate by DR.. Lo-
gan, the following amounts of phos
phoric acid:
No. /. Mari containing green sand
IS to per cent.
No. 2. Cast of fossil (Plecypod)-
to 6 per cent.
No. 8. Cast of fossil (Gastropod)-
7 to per cent.
No. 4. Crinoidal limestone-6 to Z
per cent.
No. 5. Nodule (coprolite)-s to 10
per cent
No. 6. Concretion (white)-1 to 2
per cent.
According to the analyses made
by DR.. W. F. Hand, State chemist,
the following results were obtained.
The results proved that DR.. l.ogan's
first estimate of the amount of phos-
phoric acid in the mari was entirely
too low:
No. 1. Fossil casts-20.60 per cent
of phosphoric acid.
No. 2. Crinoidal limestone-2.2S per
cent of phosphoric acid.
No. 8. Nodules (doprolites) Pa 80
per cent of phosphoric acid.
No. 4. Chalk 1narl-2.71 per cent OF
phosphoric acid.
In many localities the amount of
nodules and fossil casts is sufficient
to bring the average per cent of the
phosphoric acid for the whole mari
up to 4 per cent or more. Half OF
this is SO per cent more than that
in the New Jersey third grade mari,
and equal to the second grade IN
per cent of phosphoric acid.
Mississippi can have geological
survey if she wants it, and the
United States government is willing
to cooperate in the work to the ex-
tent of spending $4,000 a year, pro
vided the State will expend a like
amount. This is an opportunity
that the State cannot afford to let
pass by, and it is hoped that the
present legislature will take the
proper steps to continue the work
that has been inaugurated by the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege. Such a survey would be worth
thousands of dollars to the State,
and would be the result of stimulat-
ing many industrial enterprises to
| locate within our borders.

Life Insurance Risks.

Four of the five life insurance
companies which carry the bulk of
the business in Mississippi have
filed their reports with the State in
surance commissioner, and an inter-
esting showing is made on the face
of the figures.
These four companies, the New
York Life, Equitable, Prudential
and Union Central, have policies in
force in Mississippi aggregating
SAL ,999, 1903, and the premiums they
have collected during the year
amount to 81, 551, 3S0,SS. The COM
panies rank in the order named, but
the Mutual Life of New York,
which has not yet filed its report,
ranks just after the Equitable, OF
third in the list. The showing
made by the Prudential is rather re-
markable, as the company has been
in the State only three years.
