ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. -
While the car was returning from
the ceremony of the blessing of the
River Neva this afternoon shot was
fired from the crowd which lined the
route.
1t is presumed the bullet was in
tended for the emperor.
The shot entered the window at the
corner of the palace.
1t is reported that a politician was
wounded.
After hearing the shot tn emperor
casually inquired if any damage had
been done. When he entered the pal
ace he went to the room into which
the bullet was fired and examined the
broken glass. He requested that a
search be made for the bullet.
From the size of the missiles which
broke the windows of the palace it is
now believed a shrapnel shell was
fired from the other side of the Neva.
The missiles went high and none was
injured. The czar and his suite were
participating in the service in the
chapel at the time the shot was fired.

Washington as well as Wall street has been watching with interest the latest raid on the Greene copper, gold and silver stocks, says an exchange. Colonel Greene is developing gold and silver mines and building a railroad in northern Mexico. Wall street is jealous of the newcomer, especially when he starts in to build a new rail road, as the colonel is doing This time the raid started off with an ad- verse report prepared by enemies on one of Colonel Greenes mines ill Mex ico, and this report was used to ham, mer the Greene stocks. Colonel Greene returned from Mexico, charged that powerful interests were responsl- ble for the raid. and in IS hours drove his assallants to cover. Colonel Greene came from the southwest five years ago with copper prospect only. To- day he is the principal owner of the second largest copper mine in the world.

The investigation in the agricul- tural department has taken a rest for the time being Ex-Statistician Hyde has announced his intention of return ing from England and this is taken as an evidence of his ignorance and hon esty. He was severely censured by his friends in Washington for running away on the very eve of the investiga- ton. and it was believed to he at tine personal lnstigation of the secretary of agriculture that he decided 10 re- turn. 4 clever man would hardly have put himself in such position for criticism and q knowingly dishonest one would have stayed abroad once he got safely there. says a Washington writer. Meantime Secretary Wilson has announced his intention 10 foregO a vacation this summer and to stay at home and clean up the investigation business this summer There is com paratively little of the summer left for such a large job. IT has apparent ly been proved by outside evidence that there was nothing wrong in the bureau of animal industry in connec- ton with the meat label business. but there will probably he a number of dis agreeable things unearthed when il comes 10 investigating the whole Of the meat subject in the department. IL is claimed hy some of the smaller competitors of the beef trust that they could not get meat inspectors as signed to their plants by the depart ment and were therefore prevented from using the department certificate label and put at a disadvantage. es- pecialIy in the export trade where such label is a necessity. At the same time Dr Salmon. the head of the bureau of animal industry. states that he was not given money enough to pay the meat inspectors. that the busi- ness of his bureau is now running st Or0 70 sslopO a month over it's limit. and if there is not some radical action taken by congress he will not be able to earry on the inspection vOrk next year.

and Macon furnished 5000 tons of ice for Florida cantaloupes. The company expected the Florida factory would De in operation in time to repay the loan before the Georgia peach crop move ment But the plant was not repaired in time and to complicate matters sew eral smaller plants in Georgia broke down, with the result that once more thousands of tons of ice had to be rushed from Lake Erie. This time. however, there were no peaches to De iced for by the time the shipments of ice got we'll under way 1t developed there was only half crop and the shipments of /. peaches stopped. The ice market of Georgia is therefore overstocked and the Armour car lines have ice to sell at any old price, for Of course it cannot be carried over to next season. While the company was having so much trouble at it's initial icing points in Georgia, several plants broke down along the route. Georgia fruit consigned to the east is re-iced at Columbia, s. C., Hamlet, Whining ton and South Rocky Mount, N. c. When the ice at these points ran short shipments were rushed from Philadel- phia, Pa, and Alexandria, Va, and the fruit was saved. All this my inform ant quotes as illustrating the -vicissi- tudes of the business. In some cases, too much ice and too few cars were available, but in both instances the car company had to stand the losses. It may be fair question, therefore, if the multiplying of a certain number of tons of ice by an estimated amount of the ice consumed really gives a fair idea of the cost of this service, o. should not allowance be made for the hazards of the business?

Judge Garvan Says He Will Report
 Next Case to Commissioners.
 Hartford. Aug. s.-Policemen in this city are likely to be careful in the use of their clubs in the future, because of warning given by Judge Edward J. Garvan in the police court this morning. The cases of John Me- Manus of No. 95 Sheldon street. and Mary Wells, who keeps house for him, arrested Friday night by Policeman Judson w. Dunlap on charges of drunkenness and breach of the peace, came up. having been continued from Saturday to allow investigation, of statement by McManus that he had been unnecessarily abused. *-. -...
 There was further testimony yes terday in behalf of the officer. It showed that while Dunlap was in the house and before he had attempted to get McManus from the house Police man Rogers went to his assistance. The Wells woman declared under oath that the policeman never told her she was under arrest, but proceeded to drag her from the house. After the testimony was all in. Judge Garvan said he wanted it to be known that he would not encourage the use of the stick by policemen unless such use of the stick was necessary. He was of the opinion that the force used by Policeman Dunlap was not necessary to make the arrest as there was anoth- CT policeman there to help him. He said that McManus was all cut up, there was not a scratch on the police man, and there was no evidence that his clothes had been torn in the least He thought the force used was alto gether unnecessary and the next time an unnecessary use of the club came to his notice he would report the mat ter to the police commissioners.

ELEPHANT SKULL DUG UP.

Luna Park Herd Uneasy While It
 Remained Buried. .,.... The great skull of Topsy, the bad elephant, exhumed at Luna Park yes terday, solved the mystery which for weeks has invested the conduct of the Thompson X Dundy herd of elephants. They knew the bones of one of their kind were under the earth, and they steadfastly refused to approach the spot. --a .sl.1 l- .s-r.z,,..
 Topsy was killed by electricity. in Luna Park three years ago. Her rec ord of death and destruction was long and black. The Museum of Natural History carted away her skin, aud relic hunters took most of the bones. The skull, which weighed close to pounds, was buried back of the sta- bles and the incident was thought closed. t.s..- .f-.....-.s. -r r,.-. F..,f
 Half dozen elephants were sent from the Hippodrome to Luna Park early in July, in charge of Pete" Bar low. trainer. They. are an obedient and docile herd, and Barlow was non- plussed when they shiyered, trumpet ed and would not budge every time they neared the piece of ground which looked no different from the rest of the scafty patch on which tine horses daily exercise. e. -...--. ..-.. 2
 Their reluctance remained a topic of curious discussion until yesterday. when Barlow, with superstitious fore holdings aroused, nervously told the story to Frederick Thompson.
 The senior member of the firm medi- tated a moment. and then burst into laughter. He led the way to the spot.
 Dig" he instructed a stableunln. The shovel hit an end of the elepnants skull six inches from the surface. and half an hours effort revealed the CT tire embedded set of bones.
 Alice. Fanny and Jenny. three members of the herd, who had been closely watching proceedings, shriek- ed mournfully as the skull was litted out. whiffed it for several minutes. and then walked silently to their quarters -- .- ..a-- s
 Barlow sent the skull to his home in Huntington. l.. l.. and the hole it occupied was filled in. The elephants seemed to show relief as they moved willingly over the former grave New York Tribune.
