CONSPIRED TO REPEAT
 KISHINEFF MASSACRES
ANTI-SEMITIC PAMPHLETS CIR-
 CULATED IN ODESSA.

Oscar s. Straus, Former United States
 Minister to Turkey, Has Positive
 Proof That Efforts Were Made Go
 Arouse Lower Element to BIoodshed
 During Coming Russian Easter-
 Count Cassini Advised of situation.
 New York, April S.-oscar s. straus, ex-United States minister to Turkey, speaking of the cabled reports as to the fear of anti-semitic massacres in Odessa and Kief in southern Russia. said to-day that he had accurate knowl- edge that pamphlets and circulars were recently distributed in Odessa for the purpose of arousing the lower element to repeat in that city during the com ing Russian Easter, the nlaasa- cres which took place a year ago in Kishineff.
 'The matter" said Mir. Straus, "has heen taken up by the British govern ment, Lord Rothschild having brought i. to the attention of Lord Lansdowne. In this country President Roosevelt promptly caused Secretary Hay to bring the situation to the attention of Ann bassador Cassini at Washington, with the request that the ambassador imme- diately place the subject before his gov ernment at St. Petersburg, and to con- vey the presidents hope that the gov ernment at St. Petersburg would use all possible precautions to prevent a recur- renee of the terrible outrages of a year ago which caused such widespread pro- tests on the part of the people and of the religious bodies throughout this country.
 There is reason to believe that the action taken by the government at St. Petersburg in instructing Governor Neidhart. who is in charge at Odessa, and Baron Kaulbars, who is in com mand os the troops in that district of Russia. will have the desired effect in checking any anti-senlitic manifesto tions.p

 Dr. Baskerville has resolved thorium into two new elements. He has named one of them carolinium, after the state; the other, berzeliunl, in honor of the great Swedish chemist who nearly a hundred years ago discovered thorium. It has never before been the good for tune of an American chemist to discov- CT a chemical element. Dr. Baskerville's discovery of two new elements is the re- suit of ten years of persistent labor.

MURDER NEAR COLCHESTER
MUTILATED BODY FOUND IN
 CELLAR ON 4 FARM.

John Marks, she Owner, Discovered by
 an Empioye Covering it Up With
 appcars-The Victim Recognized as a
 Former Helper.
 Colchester, April S.-By mere chance a murder was broughtsto light this af- ternoon on the farm of John Marks, located on Chestnut hill two miles east Of this place. A Polander known as Joe, who is employed on Marks farm, happened to be near an old cellar at one end of the place and finding Marks, who is 72 years old, throwing stones and dirt into corner of it, went over to him to see what he was doing. Marks told the farm hand that he wanted the hole filled and left in a hurry. Later in the afternoon =poiander- started to reduce the pile of rocks that Marks had brought there, and after thowing two or three of them in the cellar, noticed an immense bag. almost covered with dirt and stones. With great difficulty he managed to pull the weighty bundle from it's bed of rocks and dirt and cut ting it open fonud the body of man cut and hacked in a terrible manner. Both arms were severed at the shoulder and the body was almost decapitated. This was over an hour after Marks had left the scene and a search for him was made and he could not be found The Polander Joe made known his immediately begun. The medical ex- amfner of the town was hurried to the spot and he stated that the man had been dead for several days, and, as the features were badly distorted it was with difficulty that the man was, ,recog- nized as the former helper on Marks farm. He was last seen alive two weeks ago by men in the part of the town in which Marks farm is located, but his disappearance seemed to be no cause for alarm, apparently, as Marks was reported to have discharged the man.
 The police have made a thorough search of Colchester and the nearby towns but have found no trace of the alleged murderer. It is alleged that Marks is of an ugly disposition and that he has had frequent quarrels with his men. It is supposed that Marks and the farm hand engaged in fight and that in some manner the latter was killed.
 Marks, who is seventy-two years old has been acting lately like crazy man and does not bear a good reputation in the town having been under the surveil- lance of the authorities for some time
 Marks has wife and four children. The name oe the murdered man is Joseph Pavoli. It is claimed that Marks owed him $100.

Cooke, Of Nest aseafora, Mass.@FEffe= asked that these charges be placed in the hands of committee of three to decide whether they should be given to a select committee" for trial or not. It was learned that these new charges affected Professor Bowne's personal character. They were three in number and in substance were.
 One-That he was guilty of writing llibellous articles in the Zion Herald in 1S99 These articles editorially attack ed Edwin s. Schell D. D., general sec lretary of the Epworth league, and caus | ed a suit for libel to be instituted against Charles Parkhurst, the editor.

HILL SAYS HARTMAN

Why se,OOo.oOO Was Given 10 Harri

 Pacific securities-Right of Every
 stockhoIder to Have His Legal status
 Determined in Courts.
 Chicago, April S.-In an interview re- lating to Northern Securities matters, the Record Herald quotes James J. Hill, who was in Chicago to-day, as follows:
 'Mr. Hartman undoubtedly is trying to secure control of the Northern Pa cific. That is easy enough for anyone to see. However, the laws of several of the states through which the Oregon Short line and the Northern Pacific run are utterly opposed to such ownership or control, and presume he would be prevented from accomplishing his pur- pose by those laws"
 Asked whether Mir. Hartman would secure control of the road in event the courts sustained his views regarding the redistribution of Great Northern and Northern Pacific stock, Mir. Hill replied: He would not, in my opion- ion"
 In the HarrimanP Pierce petition it is stated that MT. Hartman received nearly $9,OO000O together with Northern Securities stock, in exchange for North ern Pacific stock.
 
 When asked why this sum was given to MT. Hartman, Mir. Hill replied: Tt was part of the purchase price of. com mon and preferred Northern Pacific stock held by Mr. Hartman. He sold his Northern Pacific stock absolutely, and did not exchange it.''
 Speaking generally of the Securities decision, MT. Hill said: 'The Supreme court has affirmed the decision of the Circuit court, and in order to comply with the terms of that decree, the Northern Securities company is making a ratable distribution of it's railway stocks. In view of the fact that there were over 60,000 transfers and re-trails- fers, this is the only equitable distri- button that could possibly be made. That question will, however, be deter mined by the courts. Every stockholder has right to have his legal status de- termined by the courts if he sees fit. The Union Pacific interests have the. same right in this respect as any other shareholder, except in So far as their right might be affected by the Sherman act"
