The news of the tragedy spread like
wildfire throughout the city, causing
CONSERVATION everywhere Police re-
serves were hurried to the scene from
all parts Of the city and the various
denartments were instantly notified.
The prefect of police notified the en-
po"o~ Of the tragedy Immediately upon
its occurrence. The emperor, who was
at the Villa Alexandria at Peterhof,
was greatly affected by the news, COM
ing, as it did, atop of the bad tidings
from the seat of war, fears of interna-
tioual complications and the strain in
cident upon the hourly expectation Of
an event so close to the fathers heal :.
The emperor almost broke down when
he was informed OF the minister's
murder.
Senator Won Plehve was appointed
minister of the interior April IS, 1902,
succeeding NJ. Sipiaguino, who was
assassinated April ]6, 1902.
PopuIace Eager for Details.
Won Plehve's assassination was Off
Cially announced at about l o'clock
and was followed Immediately by the
issuance OF extra editions OF the pa
pers. Although they contained only
few lines referring to the tragedy the
newsboys were fairly mobbed by the
crowds in the streets, SO eager were
all for details of the crime. Intense
excitement reigned everywhere. Only
the assassination of the emperor could
have created more of a sensation, as
RI otr hir,,cn1f
Plehve was regarded as the most
powerful personality in the Russian
government.
Guarded by police the body re-
NAMED in the street until the arrival
of an official corresponding with an
American coroner. After this official
had viewed the body it was placed in
a carriage, covered by robe and was
driven slowly to a little chapel adjoin-
ing the railroad station and then to
the deceased's magnificent town resi-
dence adjoining the ministry of the
anterior. The carriage, surrounded by
mounted gendarmes, passed through
the crowded streets, the sidewalks be-
ing solid mass of people. Even the
cross streets were black with spec
tators for blocks. AS if by magic
everybody in the city seemed to have
suddenly become aware that a fright
full catastrophe had occurred and to
have hurried to the scene. AS the
carriage passed all heads were uncov-
cred.
The assassin, who was wounded in
the abdomen by splinter, underwent
a successful operation. When throw
ing the bomb he shouted Long live
freedom with a little Russian accent
His name has not been ascertained
and the prisoner told the police that
he had no accomplices. 1t is estab
lished, however, that the assassin is
not g Jew, as at first reported

lice and gendarmes hurried up from
every direction and vast crowds gath
cred about the spot where the man.
gled body of the minister lay welter-
ing in his blood.
The Associated Press correspondents
was at the scene of the tragedy within
five minutes after it occurred. M Won
Plehve's shOckingly mangled body
was lying in the middle of the ROAD.
1t had been partially covered with a
police officers overcoat, WITH the leIL
arm, the bone of which was broken
off, projecting. A policeman came Up
and raised the OvercOat in order to re-
arrange it, revealing for an instant
the strong features or the dead minis
ter, whose head was battered

The roadway was streWn for hun
dred yards with the Wreckage of the
carriage and pieces Of the red lining
of the minister's official OvercOat. A
few yards from M. Won Plehves body
lay ShapeleSS heap of the coach
mans remains.
The tragedy occurred on the Zabal-
ansky prospect, broad thoroughfare
leading up to the Warsaw depot,
whence the road turns sharply to the
le1tward to the Baltic railroad station
The exact spot at which the outrage
occurred is just before the bridge
spanning Circular canal, on the other
side Of which both stations are still
ated.
The bomb thrOwer must have known
perfectly well that Minister Won
Plehve would pass the spot, for the
minister makes his report to the en-
peror every Thursday.
The Internal machine was thrown
with deadly accuracy and the assas-
sin was favored by the fact that tranic
here is always of the heaviest, owing
to the crossing of lines of surface
cars and the continuous stream OF
heavy trucks. M Won Plehve was al
ways apprehensive of attempts upon
his life and used to drive rapidly.

PACKERS SIDE OF CASE.
Insist That Strikers Have Violated
Agreement.


Chicago, July 29.-Mr. Arthur Meek
er of tie Armour company during the
day declared that the answer given by
the packers at the conference with the
state board of arbitration reflected III
it's entirety the position of the pack
ers and that the statement attributed
to him that they were willing to go
back to the agreement entered into
with Mr.. Donnelly's organization was
entirely unfounded.
Our position u.s." he said, that we
had an agreement with the butchers
organization and the allied trades
which they have failed to live up to
and under the circumstances we do
not care to make any further agree
mentS with them"
In spite of the foregoing statement
of the packers position rumors are
persistent that two of the big COM
panies, Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
and the Cudahy Packing company, are
ready to make terms with the men.
All the freight handlers reported for
work as usual during the day and all
were sent to other departments of the
company's service, where they will be
retained until they can resume their
usual duties.
Notice to Sympathetic Strikers.
Following the refusal to enter into
more agreements with the striking
workmen at the stock yards one OF
the big packing concerns tossed a
bomb into the camp of the sympa-
thetic strikers belonging to the allied
trades by posting notices that they
are no longer regarded in the light of
employees. The action was taken by
Swift & Co., when the following
placard was conspicuously exposed tc
view near the entrance to Packing
Town:
Cali help leaving our employ July
rs and 26 will be paid in full at our
Forty-firSt street market paymaster's
window at once"
The appearance of the notice was
greeted with angry eXclamations from
the crowds that soon gathered to read
and discuss the movement. The place
named for the men to apply for their
money is outside the stock yards
proper at Halstead street and Ex
change avenue. 1t was selected as
affording the least possibilities Of dis
order.
Shortage in the soap supply, par
ticularly laundry, hotel and the cheap.
er grades Of toilet soap, is one of the
possibilities of the strike.
Claim Over Supply of Help.
So much nonunion help has been
taken into the stock yards up to date
that the packers in some instances
are said to be finding difficulty in put
ting the men to work. Nelson Morris
& Co. were reported to have shipped
fifty nonunion men to St. Joseph, Mo, I
and hundred or SO others were sent
by other packers to Omaha. Sixteen
alleged union butchers from Detroit
arrived at the yards during the day

Police rule was maintained with

DENIED BY FRIEND OF PARKER.
Candidate Not Engaged in Deals for
Control of Petty Offices.

Esopus, N. Y, July 29.-The visit
to Esopus Wednesday of striking fig
ures in Democratic politics, including
members OF the national committee,
officials of Tammany Hall and lead
ers known throughout the entire coun-
try, was a source of qualification to
Judge Parker and at the same time
some dissatisfaction because of the
political gossip resulting from the
conference.
A close friend of Judge Parker said
that the judge thinks it undignified for
a candidate for the presidency 70 en-
gage in deals for the control of petty
offices and that he has not entered nor
will he enter upon such discussions.
That Judge Parker is interested in
everything which might affect the
elections in New York state is not de-
MED, but he has exhibited the same
interest regarding internal affairs of
other states

Won PLEHvE CORDIALLY HATED
Had More Enemies Than Any Man in
Russia,

t1ao More Enemies Than Any Man in
Russia.
London, July 29.-The assassination
of Won Plehve was foreshadoWed some
months ago, i'll fact ever since the
truth became known regarding the
kishineff massacres. 1t was charged
that Won Plehve was the instigator of
these atrocities.
He was the power behind the throne
and the most influential minister in
Russia. His enemies far outnumbered
those of any other living man. Won
Plehve had been blamed for forcing
Russia into the war, but the opinion
in the European chancellories is that
he was assassinated by nihilists and
not by zealot anxious to punish him
for the mistakes of the war. Won
Plehve was the head of all Russia's
police system and he has sent thou
sands to their death and to Siberia.
The excitement over the news is at
fever heat at Continental capitals,
where the police are taking extra pre-
cautions.

SNAKES IN THE sAUERKRoUr.
They Caused Great Vintage in Iowa to Be
Fed TO Pigs.

Sioux City, Iowa (SpeciaD .-There
is sorrow in Davenport, Dubuque, Pol
la and Orange City, for the weather
conditions have made the sauerkraut
crop failure, and these centers re-
fuse to be comforted.
The crop of sauerkraut was the
largest ever raised in the State. The
per capita got as big as the money
circulation under a fiat currency, but
after the unprecedented yield of cab
bage had been minted into kraut it
was discovered that little Shiny white
snakes were all though the kraut.
Some of them are foot long.
Prof. H. E. Summers, State Ento-
mologist, being appeal to, declared
the sauerkraut snake harmless, but
folks who ate some of the snaky kraut
promptly and triumphantly became
very sick.
A great vintage of fine kraut has
been incontinently dumped out TO the
pigs, on the theory that anyhow the
pigs are sold to other folks to eat.
and if they get snakes the snakes will
be eaten down East or somewhere
else
