RUSSIAN AFFAIRS.

1t is reported that the Gar has de-
cided to conyt e the zemsky sober, or
land Parliament, and that an imperial
manifesto announcing the convocation
will be issued March 4, the anniversary
OF the liberation OF the serfs. 1t is
very doubtful whether this compromise
plan will stay the revolutionary move
ment.
The students and the educational
groups are uniting with the working
men in the great movement TOR liberty.
In the halls If the University of St.
Petersburg professors and students met
yesterday and denounced the govern
meDt in no uncertain terms. Educated
young men announced their readiness to
Sight for the peoples cause. The Cars
portrait was dragged from the wall
and torn into bits, aud the red flag
was unfured amidst cries for liberty.
1t was a grim warning to the Car and
the autocracy from RuSsia's seat OF
education.
Other universities of Russia, gymnasia
and even grammar schools we're already
on strike, and the military in various
portions Of the empire have been obliged
to resort to force to restrain schoolboys
of tender years who are joining the gen
eral movement.
The meeting OF St. Petersburg stu
dents, at which over 5000 participated,
besides voting 60 suspend studies until
September ], adopted set of political
resolutions demanding the formation of
constituent assembly aud characteriz-
ing the proposed summoning of the
zemsky sober as inadequate for the
emergency. The resolutions, after
speaking of 'the progressive demoraliza-
ton of Russia under the influence of
the absolute regime" declare for free
dom of speech, the press, conscience,
the right of association and assembly
and to strike, which are described as
necessary conditions for the further pro-
gress of Russia.
Fearing to take the risk of trip to
Moscow to attend the funeral service of
the Grand Duke Sergius, the Gar and
the members of the imperial family will
have a simultaneous requiem service held
in the Tsarskoe-Selo, the palace in
which they believe they are safe from
the benb-thrower.

The Emtsmbed Miners.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 81. -Rescuers
at work at the Virginia mines where
an explosion late yesterday afternoon i'm
prisoned one hundred and fifty miners,
labsred all night, digging through the
tons of debris ia an effort to rescue the
entombed men. A report early this
morning said that sixty dead bodies had
been found but this is as yet unconfirmed.
A telephone message at $3.50 o'clock
from Bessemer says that probably al
hope of finding the men alive has been
abandoned, as evidence found by rescuers
indicates that after the explosion which
resulted from "windy shot" due to
overcharging, after black damp premated
the mine making it impossible for any
one to live in it. SO severe was the
after damp that many of the rescuers
were overcome and had to be taken to
the surface and revived. Wives and
children of the entombed men lowered
around the mouth of the mine all night,
aud many pitiable scenes were presented.
Not person slept at Virginia last night,
and scores of miners from throughout
the district buried to the place to aid in
the work ofrescuc.
BY 9 o'clock this morning nine bodies
had been taken from the mines. Over
one hundred bodies are still in the mine,
and it is certainty that the men are
dead. Women and children have camped
all night at the mouth of the mine, keep
inc themselves as warm as possible by
fires built IL the rain.

The Bon Marini Murder.

Turin, Italy, Feb. 2l.--The Bon Ma
rini murder trial, the sensational case
in latter years of Italian court history,
will be opened tsday. The court room
was crowded with spectators, among
them being many of high rank. The
Countess Theodolihda Bon Martini,
widow Of the murdered Count, was
placed in the prisoners dock. She was
very pale and haggard and had lost all
the beauty for which she was once noted.
Her once bright eyes had become dulled,
and dark rings circled them while her
form had lost all its one time comeliness.
The other prisoners looked well, and
had nonchalant manner of carrying
themselves. The Countess and Doctor
Seechi, her former lover, will be accused
Of premeditating and instigating the
assassination OF the Count. while DIR.
Murri, the Countess father, and Doctor
Naldi will be accused of committing the
assassination by thirteen dagger thrusts
in the body of the Count. Rosa BoDetti
the mistress of the Countess brother, will
be charged as an accomplice. DIR.
Murri will be further accused of rifiing
the body of jewelry. money and docu-
ments. The murder OF Count Bon Mar.
tint occurred on August %, 1902. He
was man of hercuesn strength, and
as we'll of unspeakable immortality. He
maltreated his wife. and conducted his
liaisons with others in bold, open fashion.
The Countess is said to have been any
thing but blameless, and to have in
dulged herself in orgies little less revolt
ing than those of her husband. On the
day of the murder, Murri, Naldi and
Rosa Bonnetti awaited the Count in his
rooms, and when he entered. threw him
down and stabbed him to death.

Gov. vardeman to Oppose Congress
man Williams

New Orleans, Feb. 2l.-Advices from
Jackson, Miss, state that Governor
vardeman, of Mississippi, will oppose
the election of Congressman John Sharp
Williams, as the successor of U. S.
Senator Money. Mr.. Williams is ac-
cepted as the most available candidate,
but Gov. Vardeman is anxious to enter
the Senate. The breach is widening
between them, and when Congressman
Williams returns to the State after the
adjournment of Congress, he will not
find the governor such an ardent ad-
mirer of his. Friends of Gov. Varde-
man consider the vacancy in prospec-
tive, Senator Moneys seat. is one OPP
portunity for the further advancement
of Gov. Vardemsn and there is reason
to believe that the governors ambition
lies in that direction. The Governor has
strong views on the race question. He
cannot succeed himself as governor OF
Mississippi, and there is no probable
congressional vacancy 10 his district,
and the SENSATIONAL probability Offers
more inducements than congressional
possibility.
