LIVINGSTON TOMB
 IS DESIGNATED GhouIs Rob the Historic Family
 Vault BODIES ARE CARRIED AWAY Bones of the Famous Gen. Henry w. Livingston Are Scattered About on the Marble
 Floor.
BODIES ARE CARRIED AWAY

New York, April 25.-A special despatch to the World from Hudson. N. Y, says:
 The startling discovery was made to- day that the family tomb of the Living ston's, on the nearby ancient Living ston manor place, had been broken open on Saturday night and robbed of it's dead. The body taken away and of which there is no trace, was that of the wife of General Henry w. Livingston Lighting Harry), famous half a century ago for her beauty, wealth and social prestige, and known because of her un- dying fidelity to the memory of her hus- band as the Widow Mary"
 The magnificent metallic coffin in which the body was sealed forty-flve years ago, was also carried off. That in which Gen eral Livingston was laid quarter of a century ago was demolished and the bones of the dead soldier were strewn about the vault. The winding sheet in which he was wrapped and which had all but erumbled into dust, was thrown upon the marble floor and partially covered the skull. A third coffin with the body it contained Is gone as completely as Is that of Mrs. Livingston.
 The identity of the occupant of this cas- ket is not yet known. All of the other collins in the vault had been pried open and the bones of the occupants had been dumped out. The people of all this sec tion are greatly aroused over the desecra- tion of the historic tomb, which has been the resting place of members of the il- lustrious Livingston family ever since the days of the Dutch regime.

Will Be Put In Charue.

St Petersburg, April 26.-General Kuro- patkin 1t Is believed in the highest mlli-l tary circles here, Is destined to become commander-ln-chief of all the emperors forces both military and naval in the far east
 Admiral Alexieff may remain there for some time as viceroy put his reign is con- sldered practically ended He will not be humilated but In order to effect har- monious relations, a way will be found te secure his elimination.
 While Alexief and Kuropatl<ln are on fairly good terms, harmonious relations between Vice Admiral Skrydlon and the viceroy are considered impossible. and with the three enjoying Independent com- mands, it Is realized that friction ulti- mately would be bound to arise which might endanger successful operations. Skrydloff and Kuropatkin on the con- trary are warm personal friends.
 With Alexieff removed from the the- atre of war, and in view of the patent necessity to have A supreme commanders of both the army and navy on the ground as well as to insure perfect harmony, Vice Admiral Skrydloff, because of the minor role which the fleet will play, has already expressed his W willingness to accept the post of commander of the naval forces under General Kuropatkin as commanders in-chief.

PARIS IS HANGED
 FOR RECENT CRIME
MURDERER OF POSTAL CLERK JOHN T. STOCKTON MEETS DEATH ON GALLONS IN MERID- IAN-CONFESsED HIS GUILT.

New Orleans, April 25.--A special from Meridian, Miss, says: James Paris was hanged here today for the murder of Postal Clerk John T. Stockton on Feb- ruary 29. Stockton was murdered by Paris while attempting to rob a train on the Alabama Great Southern. The crime for which the negro suffered death on the gallows today was one of the most atro- cous in the history of Lauderdale coun- ty. John T. Stockton, a railway postal clerk on the Alabama Great Southern road, was murdered in cold blood the morning of February 29, this year. As the train was leaving this place for Bir- mingham, Paris climbed aboard and a few minutes later shot and instantly kill ed Mail Clerk Stockton and severely wounded Mail Clerk A. B. Bass.
 The negro then jumped from the traln falling in such a way that his left foot was caught and crushed under a wheel. This prevented his escape and he was caught at daylight in the bushes. whence he had crawled for protection. He was lodged In the county jail by Sheriff J. R. Temple. The negro narrowly escaped a lynching, the jail being guarded for three days by the state militia by order of Governor Vardaman.
 Judge G. Hall called a special term of the circuit court for the trial of the mur- derer who was convicted and sentenced to hang April 25. thirty days from the close of the trial the legal limit.
 Paris sat first denied but later made a written confession of his guilt

SUFFRAGE CASES
 WERE DISMISSED Supreme Court Holds No Relief
 is Possible ACTS ALREADY COMMITTED Justice Brewer Does Not Go Into the Merits of the Case, But
 Sticks to the Main
 Point.
ACTS ALREADY COMMITTED

Washington, April &.-The Virginia cases involving the validity of the suf- frage provision of the new Virginia state constitution were today dismissed by the United States Supreme court on the ground that no relief was possible, the acts from which relief was sought hav- ing already been committed.
 There were two cases one being pro- ceeding by Jones and others to secure a writ of prohibition against the state board of canvassers to prevent it's passing up on returns of the election held Novem- Der 24 1902, and the other a proceeding in equity by Selden and others. Justice Brewer delivered the opinion of the court. He did not enter into the merits of the case, but confined himself to the im- practicablity of the granting of relief He said:
 "The prayer of the petitioners special ly, is to restrain the canvass of the re- turns of the elction of November f, 1902. Even the general clause at the close of the prayer Is for such other and fur ther orders in the premises as shall and may make the prayer of your petitioners effectual.' But as shown by affidavits and as indeed we might perhaps take judicial notice by the presence in the house of representatives of the individuals elected at that election from the various con- gressional district of Virginia, the thing sought to be prohibited is done and can not be undone by any order of court.
 ''The canvass has been made, certificates of election have been issued, the house of representatives which Is the sole judge of the qualifications of its members have admitted the parties holding the certifi- cates to seats in that body and any ad- judication this court might make would be only an intellectual decision of the question whether or not these petitioners were wronged by what has been fully accomplished. Under these circumstances there is nothing but a moot case re- maining and the motion to dismiss must be sustained
 The equity case was dismissed on the same ground as the prohibition case
