HORROR OVER TRAGEDY.
King Edwards Telegram to Gar
serrius a Consistent Autocrat.


King Edward. as soon as he was informed
of the assassination of Grand Duke Sergius
at MOSCOW, telegraphed to Emperor Nicho-
Lao EXPRESSING his horror and sympathy.
The correspondent at St. Petersburg of
the Daily Telegraph asserts that the acting
minister of Justice on hearing of the news
| of the assassination of Grand Duke Ser
gus. exclaimed:
I'm truth Russia Is in full revolution.
What will happen next?"
The correspondent adds an Interesting
appreciation Of the grand duke, In the
course of which he says:
ut must be admitted that Sergius was
! perfectly consistent, and that his career
was rounded and complete. Orthodoxy and
autocracy were inscribed on his banner
from the first. and he fought hard for them
in his own way to the bitter end His man
ner, though suggestive of hauteur. was ex-
tremely amiable: but one could We'll con-
ceive him. under other conditions. capable
| of those unjustifiable sallies of coarseness.
criticism and cruelty which have been asSo-
ciated with his name and were proximate
causes of his death. His influence over the
emperor emanated partly from his own self
seemingly selfiess interest for the autocracy,
and partly also from his wife.
81 learn tonight that short imperial
manifesto is being drawn up and will be
| issued tomorrow. but that 1t will deal only
with the death of Sergius. I am further in
formed that revolutfonist groups have re-
ceived a great accession of strength from
liberals who hitherto have favored con-
stitutional propaganda: that they have
come into possession Of large funds and
are determined to adopt extreme meas
ures. which they believe will not be Sc
vere1y condemned by public opinion The
authorities are aware Of these preparations
and are making numerous arrests here, in
Moscow and Odessa, besides taking other
measures of precautions
The tragic death of Grand Duke SerRius
produced profound impression in Rome
especially as his wife was known in Rome
having often visited the italian capital
King Victor Emmanuel sent his condolences

most affected by the assassination.
The pope, on learning Of the murder of

said:
How sad it is that people think they can

First Boom Town in vireinia.

The site of what was once Low Point. in
Surrey county, Va, on Chippoax creek. has.
1t is reported, been sold to northern parties.
Low Point is reputed to have been the site
Of the second permanent English settle
ment In Virginia and is second only to
jamestown in historical interest. It was
perhaps the first boom town in Virginia,
there being records at Surrey court house
to show that 200 years ago 5O-foot front
lots sold as high as $1,000. There are EVIL
dences Of many substantial brick buildings
but now all that remains is the little VII
lage of Cabin Point, a half mile back from
the wharf. This had the distinction of
being the first port of entry in America
Here vessels up to 1850 wound their way
up and down Chippoax creek. discharging
the products of the world and getting their
clearance papers for cargoes shipped to
foreign ports.
Rev. ]. p. Lewis was the owner of the
farm that included Low Point within its

sFRa1us, MURDER.
Political Effect Of Tragedy-May Lead
to Reaction,

to Reaction.
Opinions differ as to the political effect
of the tragedy, some inclining to the view
that the killing OF member OF the I'M
perial family may result in Nicholas II re-
viving a period Of reaction. but this opin-
ion is not generally shared.
The murder of Grand Duke Sergius. just
at the time when the forces OF liberalism
were again in the ascendancy and when
the summoning of the zemsky sober was
actually assured, meets with universal rep
rotation, even by extreme social demo-
Gratis, who denounce the crime as strongly
as do the liberals and conservatives.
According to a high authority. the decis-
ion had been already practically taken to
officially proclaim the zemsky sober on
February %. M. Souvorin, the editor Of the
Novoe Vremya, said to the Associated Press
last night.
81 do not believe this crime can now In
terfere with the carrying out of reforms
to which the government Is too far COM
mitted. / am certain the zemsky sober Will
soon be announced and assemble without
waiting the termination Of the war
Prince Shirinsky Schahmatoff. who had
an audience of Emperor Nicholas at Tsars-
koe-Selo, was frankly told by the emperor
under a class franchise by the nobles
clergy, merchants and peasants. but that
all the deputies would sit together; and
the committee Of ministers. the Associated
Press Is informed, was yesterday charged
by the emperor with the appointment OF
a committee to work up the details Of
the electoral machinery.
The story is going the rounds that Grand
Duke Sergius himself at the last moment,
finding the tide against him, was won over
to the plan of summoning the Zemsky sobor,
and that he sent a messenger to Emperor
Nicholas outlining the views as to the COM
position of the body. 1t Is added that the
messenger arrived here at almost the same
time that the bomb was thrown In Moscow.
According to Sergius plan, it was proposed
that each province should have six repre-
sentatives in the convention, two of each
class, the nobility, the merchants and the
peasants
According to the newspapers, it was we'll
known in Russia that all liberal efforts on
the part of Emperor Nicholas have been
opposed by Grand Duke Sergius. He was
as unpopular in MOSCOW. owing to his
naughty, harsh. reactionary spirit. as his
wife was admired and beloved. The grand
duchess recently received a warning not to
go out with her husband, which implied
that his assassination had been decided
upon.

PENSION BILL PASSED.
Vain Attempt to Nullify "order No
78v
F and 1ath SITS.

The House Saturday passed the pensions
appropriation bill, carrying S13S. go. 100. The
minority, led by Mr.. Underwood, made an
Intellectual effort to reduce the aggregate OF
the appropriation so to exclude pensions
allowed under order No. 49," which. it was
stated, would involve about $4,5o0.Oo0. 1t
was contended that the order was without
authority of law. The minority insisted
that the majority should bring in service
pension bill Mr.. Grosvenor defended the
order, and incidentally reviewed the course
of the democratic candidate for the presi-
dency in the last campaign
Mr. Robinson sought to add section to
the bill giving a service pension, wnlch
amendment Mr. Grosvenor characterized as
''buncombe." Mr.. Benton of Missouri de-
clared that the majority had decided against
a service pension bill last year because they
did not want to add S3S.OO0.0OO to the APP
preparations. The bill was passed In the
form in which 1t came from the committee.
Under a special rule the House passed
about twenty-five private bills.
