MuRAyIEFF,s REASON.

Paris, July 13.-The St Petersburg correspondent of the Echo De Paris states that the declination of NJ. Mura- yieff to head the Russian peace mis- sion was based partly on the state Of his health and partly on the fact his allowance for expenses to cover the period of his sojourn in America was only 15,OOO roubles, which amount he considered insufficient owing to tne great cost of living in the United States.
 NJ. witte twice refused to become the successor of M. Muravief on the mission on the ground that he diG not wish to be a mere figurehead In the transmission to Emperor Nicholas of the peace terms offered by Japan. His selection therefore cannot but be taken to mean that the emperor has yielded to his insistence that real powers plenipotentiary be conferred upon Russia's principal representative in the peace commission.

DARING
 YOUNGSTER
Stole Doctors Team
 In Broad Day.
Quick Work by Detective keegan Brought Back the Team..The Five Year Old Boy Escaped.

Dr M. J. Donahue lost his rig this morning and for time it looked as if he would have to invest in another stopper or purchase an auto car. When the doctor was. about to step into his carriage this morning and start on his regular rounds he recollected that he had neglected to come provided with his grip and hurried across the walk to his office and picked it up. He had been away but few minutes and yet when he returned the horse and carriage were gone and although he ran this way and that and inquired of everybody about the place, he could find no tidings of them. As last resort the case was reported to the police station and Detective Kee gan was sent out to see what he could do in the premises. After nosing around for a few moments the trained sleuth scented the rig up Baldwin street where he learned that a young ster whose head didn't reach the top of the carriage had been seen driving towards the south end. From there he traced the team onto South Main street and thence and to the highway leading to Beth any Here the officer caught the first sight of the missing team, but the driver was so small he could not see him and he thought he had left and let them here take cary of himself, but this was not so for the little joker was seated in the carriage all the time and remained at his post until he looked behind and recognizing the officer he jumped to the road and disappeared in the tall grass. The detective re- turned the team to Dr Donahue and the physician was glad to be put i'll possession of the stolen property he could not find words sufficient to ex press his appreciation of his efforts. The boys name is Wheeler and he Is but five years old. Just what prompt ed him to take the team it would .De hard to tell, but in any case it shows that the time has cone when owners of teams cannot feel safe in leaving their horses outside, hitched or un- hitched. It is not known whether the youthful offender will be taken into the court or not, but 1t is quite likely that he will get away With a sould thrashing from his father.

MRS. CONNOR DEAD.
Long a Resident of Waterbury Until
 aFeW Months Ago.

Mrs Murty Connor died last night In New Haven, at the residence Of ner daughter, Mrs Jeremiah Slattery, 204 Howard avenue. She was the mother of Mrs Wilson of New York, Mrs Slat- tery and Mrs Rubino of New Haven, Matthew Connor of New York, Rog- CT, Daniel, Dennis and Joseph Connor of this city. Her son, Roger, is now travelling abroad and the news of his mothers serious illness was cabled to him last Saturday, and it is possible he may be able to reach here in time to at- tend the funeral, notice of which will be given later. The remains were brought to Waterbury this afternoon in charge of Undertaken Moriarty and taken to the residence of her son, Rog- CT, 43 East Liberty street Mrs Connor was one of the best known residents of Waterbury and was held in high esteem by everybody who had an ac- quaintance with her. The family lived for years on Pleasant street where the deceased was regarded as an agreeable neighbor and an eXemp- lary Christian. She was one of the older residents of that part of Water bury and her death was great shock to her former neighbors, but few of whom were aware that her condition was critical. The trip to Europe. which her son started on few weeks ago with Thomas Moran was rather un- fortunate for him, for he was greatly attached to his mother and no doubt would have given the world for part ing word with her. There was noth- ing alarming in her condition at the time he left and as soon as serious symptoms were noticed cablegratn was forwarded to him in Ireland.

 The terrorists have recently renewed their warnings against General Ire poff with ominous persistence. The general Is constantly in receipt of let ters signed by the executive commit- tee of the fighting organization. in forming him that his hour has come.

Al the same time they tell him he need not he afraid to go abroad in the streets. They add: Your senfenre will be executed in your own room. You will die in your bed"

St Petersburg, July 13.-Emperor Nicholas has signed the appointment of M Witte, president of the commit tee of ministers, to be chief plenipoten- hary representing the Russian govern ment in the peace negotiations to be conducted next month in the United States. The appointment, which was signed after midnight, clothes NJ. Witte with plenary powers.
 Official notification of the designation of NJ. Witte to head the mission was forwarded to Washington this morn ing.
 M. Witte will take passage on the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse which sails from Cherbourg, July 26.
 Sergius Witte, the chief Russian peace plenipotentiary, may be regard ed as the leading libe,a statesman Of Russia. For the rast thirteen years he has been one of the strongest per sonalities in the Russian bureaucracy, although his political fortunes suffered setback when he was compelled to resign the portfolio of minister of finance in August, 1903, and again when after being appointed president of the council of ministers ill the same month. his office gradually lost its lm- portance until rumors of his intention to resign and go abroad had been per sistently circulated.
 NJ. Witte is about 56 years old and has steadily worked his way up from the position of an underpaid railroad clerk to that of the leading statesman of Russia, in spite of the fact that his enemies are numerous and include some of the most powerful men in Rus sia A man of large stature, standing over six feet high, NJ. Witte has the reputation of being harsh to his subor- dinates and extremely high tempered. These facts have not increased ms popularity. He is what is known as q well hated man, but his honesty ana ability have never been doubted even by hls worst enemies.
 NJ. Witte is thoroughly familiar with the tar eastern question in all its bearings. He fully realized before the war that the aggressive policy being pursued under the lead of Viceroy Alexieff and NJ. BezobrazOff, president of the Yalu Timber Go, and the coterie of adventurers connected with them, would drive Japan to take up the sword.
 Practically 1t was M. Witte's disap- proval of Russia's far eastern policy. and the creation of a viceroyalty III the far east which caused his down. fal. as minister of finance.
