WILL HASTEN PEACE
But viii Postpone Reforms in Rus
sla For Years.

washington, d. c., Feb. 1.-THE
first official news of the assassination
of Grand Duke Sergius was received
late this afternoon by the state de-
partment from Ambassador McCor-
mick and Consul General Watts.
The entire contents of their mes
sages we're not made public. but it was
announced that of the three students
who threw the bomb, two were killed,
presumably by the grand dukes guard.
It is believed here that the crime
will hasten peace negotiations with
Japan, but it is conceded that the eff
feet upon Russia will be to delay, for
years, the putting into effect of more
liberal laws, which the czar has plann-
ed for his subjects.
A large military force for the in
auguration of repressive measures may
result in the withdrawal of a portion
of the army from Mukden.

The resolution provides further that
If the charges are found to be true the

FRANCES W|LLARD'S
MEMORY HONORED
FOR AN HOUR BUSINESS WAS
SUSPENDED IN CONGRESS.
A Multitude Of People Listened to
Eulogies Delivered by Distin.
euished Men.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE memory
of Frances E. Willard was honored by
congress and multitude of people to-
day. For an hour business was sus-
pended, while exercises appropriate
to the acceptance from Illinois, of her
statue, were held At the conclusion,
both branches adjourned as a further
mark of respect.
High tributes were paid by senators
and representatives to the high char
acter and great accomplishments, Of
the first president of the National Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union.
The galleries were crowded. There
was large reservation for distin-
guished and other members of that
organization.
The corridors leading to the CALLER
les resembled the crush incidental to
the death of a congressman. Hun
dreds of women clamored in vain for
admission. They remained in the cor
ridors, eagerly listening to an oCca-
sional sentence of eulogy that came to
them through the swinging doors.
Previous to the eulogistic addresses
that were delivered, several hundred
women and children passed through
>statuary hall, and deposited flowers at
the base of the statue.
Simple in the extreme, the exercises
were withal impressive and of char
acter long to be remembered
Addresses were delivered in the SEN
ate by Messrs. Cullom and Hopkins
0llinois); Dolliver Qowa), and Bever.
idge, Qnd.), and in the house by
Messrs. Foss, Rainey, Graf and Bou,
tell, Ullinois) and Littlefeld, Maine. }
Very little legislative business
marked the days session. In the
house, the joint statehood bill, over
which the lower branch has been fuss.
ing for some time, was sent to con,
ference, after sharp criticism of the
majority, by the minority, for first de-
manding written pledges from 33 re-
calcitrant Republicans that they would
not fight the caucus agreement on the
| floor.
The senate promptly receded from
an amendment to the agricultural ap
preparation bill, abolishing the draw
back on wheat. This action was takeI
upon a formal notification by the
house that the senate had exceeded it!
powers.

INJUNCTION
To Prevent Merger Of Gas Companies.
Scheme Charged.

Huntington, w. Va. Feb. IT,
Quite a sensation was caused in busi-
ness circles here today when Judge
John B. Wilkinson, of the Wayne
county circuit court, issued an injunc-
ton restraining the officials of the Tri-
ple-State Gas & Oil Co. from carrying
to completion the gas merger which
has for some days been in progress
between the Triple-State Co. and the
United States Gas Co.
One week ago the secretary of the
state of West Virginia granted char
ter to the United States Gas Co. which
covered the proposed merger of inter-
ests, the capital stock of the new con-
Germ being placed at S3000,000. The
TripTe-State Natural Gas G. Oil Co.
has for four years furnished the cities
of Huntington, w. Va, Catletsburg.
and Ashland, Ky and Ironton, o., with
gas for fuel. There has been much
complaint among patrons of the COM
pany recently and gross mismanage-
ment is alleged.
The restraining order was issued at
the instance of Otto and Edward Ger
mer, of Erie, Pa, surviving heirs Of
Otto Germer. deceased, of Erie, Pa,
founder and late president of the Tri-
ple-State Co. The plaintiffs allege that
through the mismanagement of Pres
ident Johnson and his associates the
franchise of the company has been
forfeited and that the proposed merger
is but a scheme to force the Germer
heirs out of the company.

JUDGE SWAYNE
Is Confronted by One Of
His Alleged
Victims.
SCENE WAS PATHETIC

Washington, d. c., Feb. 17.-Simon
Belden, organizer OF the Republican
party in Louisiana, ex-attorney gen
eral and at one time speaker of the
house of that state, told the senate,
sitting as a court of impeachment to-
day, how Judge Swayne, the respon-
dent had fined him 500 and impris-
oned him 10 days and had tried to
have him disbarred for two years from
practice in Swayne's court, on the
charge of contempt.
Bent down with age, weak from
sickness, and his face showing the eff
fects of stroke of paralysis, from
which he had suffered six months be-
fore his sentence, Belden presented a
piteous picture as he recited his story
to deeply interested body, and in
hearing of the galleries which were
unusually crowded by reason of the
Frances Willard memorial services to
be heard later.
He charged that the sentence was
inflicted because he had dared to iden-
tify himself in land case, in which
Judge Swayne appeared as party de-
fendant.
He declared that the judges manner
was vindictive, and his language
abusive. Tears stole down his cheeks
as he exclaimed piteously:
This was the first time in my life
that my integrity and conduct has
been brought into question"
The witness was given permission
to sit during the examination and a
clerk repeated his responses.
Tomorrow morning the court, be-
hind closed doors, will again consider
what disposition 1t will make of the
motion of Senator Bailey, (Texas) tc
reconsider its decision not to admit as
testimony the voluntary statements OF
Judge Swayne before an investigating
committee of the house.
