POLICEMAN Kills Soldier.

Officer Phillips, of the Phoebus, Va,
police force, last night shot and killed
Private George Dowri, of the Coast
Artillery. of Fort Monroe, during fight
at Pheebus between the officer and
seven artillsrymen.
According to Officer Phillips story of
the affair, he saw Dowri and two other
soldiers violating town ordinance and
called upon them to stop, which they
did. The officer passed on, but the
three men followed and overlook him,
giving fight. The policemen returned
the blows with his club, knocking two
of the men down.
Four other artilerymen from Fort
Menroe rushed to their comrades assist
ance. Then there was a general mixup,
during which the officer lost his club,
which was grabbed by one of the SOL
dieIs, who began striking Officer Phil
lips on the head, inAicting several ugly
wounds.
At that uncture w. II. Power, the
city attorney, and a Mr.. Grant rushed
to the officers rescue. The presence
of the two men put the soldiers to flight,
and Officer Phillips started in pursuit
Two of the men were arrested by
other officers who joined in the chase,
but Dowri ran down an alley. He came
out on another street and met Officer
Phillips. The officer says he told Dowri
to halt, but the soldier made toward
him as if to start another assault, so the
officer fred the shot which entered
Dowri's chest, passing through both
lungs. The man died before he could
be taken to the Fort Hospital.
The commanding officers of Fort
Monroe have demanded an investigation
of The shooting. A company of soldiers
has been sent out from the fort to pre-
vent a riot among the soldiers who are
in Phoebus on passes and among whom
excitement runs high.

Movements of the Fleets.

Toxic, May 12..-The sailing vessel
VeitOkumaru reported that she sighted
two Russian war vessels, evidently part
of the Vladivostok squadron, twenty miles
northwest of Fukaura on May 2. The
vessels were steaming toward the south.
The Russian vessels reported by the Vel
tokamaru are probably the same vessels
which we're reported off Aomori, near the
Tsugaru strait, on Tuesday and which
are supposed to be the Rossia and Grom-
bo. Fukaura is on the west coast of
Hondo, the largest island of the Japa-
pese group, and could easily have been
reached by the Russian vessels, which
we're in Tsugaru strait in a few hours. The
course of the vessels which were report
ed to be sailing sou,hward indicate that
they planned trip down the western
coast of the japanese islands probably
on the look out for japanese trading yes.

London, May l2.-The correspondent
of the Evening Star, at Hong Kong, wires
that several volunteer cruisers OF the Bal
tic fleet were sighted on May 7, by the
British torpedo storeship Hecla, near
Van Wong Bay, Indo China. The
cruisers signalled to the Hecla kindly
inform us whether you have seen any
men of war;" The Hecla replied that
she had not seen any yarships and had
no news of any such vessels. The cont
mander of the Hecla states that the
cruisers were clean and appeared to be
in excellent condition.

Recent Jewish Massacre.

The St. Petersburg Novosti (the Jew
ish organ) claims to have information
showing that the massacre of Jews at
Zhitomir was regularly organized, while
the Syn Otetchestva says Jewesses were
assaulted during the attacks m lde upon
the Israeites at GostyDin. The gov
eminent papers are not permitted to
print details Of the recent attacks on
Jews.
The London Jewish CHI Onicle an
nounces ave are informed on high
authority that important Developments
may be anticipated in the situation Of
Jews in Russia. We are informed thai
a measure is more than under considers-
ton which will give unhoped for relief
10 Jews. Absolute freedom Of movement
aud residence will be granted in all
cities and towns, but not in villages, as
the authorities are not willing to run
the risk OF a repetition of the Kishinef
affair. We understand that the murder
OF Jews causes the government more
anxiety than of persons of other nation
alities because of the Reproduction it
arouses in Europe"

Eight Men Killed.

Philadelphia, May l2.-Without warn
ing one of the huge tanks, No. l, OF the
United Gas Improvement Company's
plant, at Point Breeze, exploded shortly
after IL O'Clock this morning. Eight
men were instantly killed and eleven
Others were injured, at least two Of them
being so badly burned and mangled that
they cannot live. The big tank was
completely wrecked and the effect of the
terrific explosion was felt throughout
the entire southern section of the city,
windows being shattered and houses and
factories severely shaken. Of the score
or more of men who were working IN
the immediate vicinity of the big tank
not one escaped injury. One instant
they we're going quietly about their tasks
and in another there came small fash
of fire, then, with a mighty roar, the i'm
mense steel tank. weighing hundreds of
tons and containing thousands upon
thousands of cubic feet of gas, was rent
asunder as if it were but paper and the
fragments sent hurting high in the air or
driven with the force of cannon balls to
either side. Following this shower of
rended steel fragments came sheet OF
flame, which enveloped everything with
in a radius of hundred yards and caught
those workmen who had escaped the
first force of the explosion and the rain
of missiles. Many were first overcome
by the escaped gas and then burned as
they lay unconscious. Several others Of
the injured men are thought to be fatal
ly hurt. Sixteen bodies are believed to
be buried under wrecked retort house.
Mrs. I. G. Gallagher, who lived near
the gas works, extinguished the flames
which were consuming three men who
were blown into her back yard. The
holder contained 5, 900, 900 cubic feet of
gas. 1t was completely destroyed, to-
gether with FIVE other buildings. One
of these was the handsome U. G. /. club
house. 1t is believed that many met
death here and the ruins are being
searched. A man was blown fully 500
yards from the holder and killed.

companied the society over the battle
ground The stone bridge, Groyeton and
the old railroad cut we're all visited dur
ing the day.
At noon an elegant luncheon, pre-
pared by the ladies OF Manassas, was

Mr.. Robert Portner. The next reunion
of the society will be held in the city of
Washington.

Audience with the Pope.

Rome, May l2.--Dr. Charles A.
Briggs, the well known American bible
student and critic, had a special private
audience with Pope Plus x. today.
The Ponlif conyersed with DR.. Briggs
for more than halt hour on religious
subjects, especially gu the position of
the differences which prevent reunion
of dissident churches with the church Of
Rome. Dr. Briggs expressed his views
very frankly from the standpoint of
higher criticism. He spoke specially of
the repressiye action of the Index Libro-
rum Prohibitorum, and the inquisiiiOn
or censorship of doctrinsl books, which
forbid Catholics from reading certain
books except in their expurgated form,
and of the anti scientific attitude of
Catholic students against taking the
modern initiative in their studies. The
Pope astonished DR.. Briggs by his in
telligent grasp of the problems he pre-
scented and the liberal tendency of his
theology as manifested in bis answers.

PRFs1pFNT RoOsEvELT'S return 10
Washington, after his emphatic utter
anees upon the railroad rate question,
has stirred the members Of the Railroad
Congress TO a full sense of the conflict
in which they are engaged with the al
minislration and the strong public sentI-
ment which supports the President
Railroad men declare that, so far as the
coming session of Congress is concerned,
they have the President beaten and that
they are encouraged in this opinion by
the attitude of the Senate committee on
interstate commerce and the promise oil
other railroad Senators to hold both the
President and The House in check when
the time comes to pass rate Dill. Du'
railroad men are not blind to the fact
that even the Senate may have to give
way before the overwhelming public de-
mand for legislative action. Secretary
Taft's open advocacy of rate legislation
has given new significance to the fact
that he is to preside this month at the
Ohio state republi an convention, and
that his friends expect his boom for the
presidency in 1908 to be launched then.

TOday's Telegraphic News
The Kaiser,s speech.

Berlin, May 12.-The publication of
the speech of KAISER Wilhelm to the
officers aud troops. following the review
at Strasburg, in which he declared that
Russia's downfall in Manchuria was
due to the fact that her army had been
disorganized by vice and drunkenness,
aud stating that it might become
necessary for Germany to check the
"yellow perl" since Russia had failed
to do so, has aroused considerable dis
cussion.
The Morgen Post declares that it was
indiscreet on the part of the emperor to
deliver speech which was not intended
for publication in the presence of an
audience numbering thousands.
1t is possible that grave political and
diplomatic consequence may follow the
publication of the speech. The Kaiser 5
words are sure to be discussed diplo-
matically, and this will probably mean
that the Russian government will be
forced to formally inquire whether the
speaker actually referred to the Russian
army in the terms alleged.
This will necessitate an explanation
on the part of the Chancellor Won Bue-
low, in regard to the reported utterance,
who will probably say that the Emperor
was misunderstood, or had been mis-
represented.
Numerous newspapers have printed
articles urging speakers to refrain from
making indiscreet or impulsive utter
ances which will cause international
excitement aud possibly lead to grave
diplomatic complications.
st. Petersburg, May IA report OF
the Kaiser's speech, 10 which he re-
ferred to the Russian army as being
disorganized by vice and drunkenness,
was telegraphed here yesterday, but the
censor prohibited lis publication. The
newspapers were forbidden to mention
the matter, and the knowledge of the
utterances is confined to the Gar, high
officials and the newspapers.
The keenest resentment is manifested
by the court and army officials to whom
| the matter is known.

As WILL be seen by today 5 telegraphlc
news. Nan Patterson, after having been
tried three times on the charge of muir
dering Caesar" Young in carriage III
New York city, has been released upon
her own recognizance. This is believed
% be a virtual aequittsl, and that the
woman will not again be brought to trial.
The case against thesuspected murderess
has attracted national interest. Some
have from the first believed that the
woman is innocent of the charge urged
against her. Others, however, are con-
convinced from the circumstantial evil
dence, that she killed Young. The affair
from beginning TO end is one of many
which calls attention to the fact that both
men and women who persist in following
downward paths, sooner or later reap
what they SOW. Young had wife Nan
Patterson a husband Both persisted in
defying the laws ofGOd aud man. Young
has passed from the scene and the woman
if not like Lady Macbeth, has attained q
