aggregate amount carried in the
bill is S42, 400. There was no
attempt to reduce the appropria-

'61 to '65.

at perfect liberty to CONVERSE
with Legislators upon any measure

LAPS TAKE NOTOROI
Moscow Prefect of Police Shot
 Dead by Assassin.
MARTIAL LAW IN THE CAUCASUS
St. Petersburg Stirred by Tales of Defeat and Murder - MikadO's Troops Hold South Point
 of ga hi fl lin,

LONDON, July 12.-Special dis patches from St. Petersburg say that the proclamation of martial law in the town and district of Tiflis, Caucasia; the assassination of the prefect of po- lice, Count Shuvaloff, at Moscow and the victories of the Japanese at cape Notoro. on Sakhalin, have stirred the Russian capital to its depths.
 A Warsaw Russian Poland) dispatch says three fierce encounters between troops and striking shoemakers, ill which about twenty persons were killed or wounded, have occurred there. The strikers were marching through the city from house to house demanding the lowering of rents by 20 per cent. Many proprietors out of fear complied with the demands Of the strikers
 A Moscow special report says that Major General Count Shuvaloff. pre- feet of police, formerly attached to the ministry of the interior, was assassi- mated there while receiving petitions.
 One of the petitioners drew a revolv- CT and fired five times at the prefect, who fell dead
 One bullet wounded the count in the pericardium, another pierced his abdo- men. a third hit him in the arm and the fourth in the shoulder, while the fifth bullet fired by the assassin struck the leg of an official who was standing near.
 According to the physicians the bull lets were poisoned. The victim speed fly lost consciousness and never spoke afterward
 The assassin was arrested. He was dressed as peasant and has not been identified He was recently arrested as political suspect, but escaped from the police station before his ex' animation.
 The assassination of Count Shuvalofl is considered to be a purely political crime, as the count was not yet forty years old and was regarded as being of the best type of the Russian off cial. He came from one of the mos' famous families in Russia. The count was a son of Peter Shuvaloff, the statesman who represented Russia al the Berlin conference, was formerly colonel of the guard regiment knowr as the St. Petersburg and was one oi Emperor Nicholas personal friends
 The zemstvosts will not be allowed to meet at Moscow July 19. although this act is simply in execution of tht orders of the governor general issued previous to the assassination of the pre- feet of police. "..
 At Batum business is at a stand still. The shops and banks, with thu exception of the Imperial bank, ar' |. ,closeds .n.sy ,t,.i.a., 5.t, .1sa,... Advices from Tokyo say that Ad miral Kataoka reports as follows:
 Two cruisers and four torpedo boats left Karasakesk on July 10 witt soldiers on board for the purpose O. landing and occupying Cape Notoro the south point of Sakhalin island After some bombardment the place was taken. The lighthouse and build ings were left undestroyed. Four pris oners were taken"

THE PUNCTUAL LADY.
She Found That Being Ahead of Time Was Not Punctuality, But
 Foolishness.

Aunt Clara" an excellent woman, and highly esteemed, is noted among large circle of friends and acquaint- ances for rather unusual feminine trait-abhorrence of tardiness. Her associates in church and club, prone to breathless at the last moment-if not little later-look up to her with awe; strangers frequently meet her with the kindling glance which signifies that her fame has preceded her; only in her own family does she suffer the usual fate of the prophet
 Possibly not without some show of reason. There are souls so consti- tuted that they are unable to find joy in arriving at railroad stations an hour before time, reaching church before the doors are open, and always being the first arrivals at afternoon teas.
 Aunt Clara's motto is not 'to-mor- row." one of her nieces once remarked. Tt is the day before yesterday"
 Not long ago Aunt Clara had an ex- perience. She was invited to spend the day with some charming women in a neighboring town. She had met them once only, but the meeting had proved the three thoroughly congenial, with large common interests, and Aunt Clara accepted the invitation with pleasure.
 
 She would arrive, she wrote, upon the half-past eleven train, as they sug- gested. There seemed no possibility of complication. ROT would there have been with anyone else. But Aunt Clara reached the station, according to her custom, an hour early, and when. soon afterward. Maplewood train was called, she stepped on board, and in due season-after shorter ride. in fact, than she had expected-reached her station.
 There was no one to meet her. which seemed little strange. but Aunt Clara was always equal to any emergency; she hired cab and drove out to her friends. There again no one seemed to be expecting her, although one of the ladies appeared in a moment and gave her cordial welcome. Her sis. ter, she said, had gone to meet the train, and must have passed her on the way. She would be SO sorry to miss her and so concerned that she should have come up alone.
 Then the guest caught sight of the clock: it was five minutes after ten She had taken the early morning train and an express. and arrived nearly two hours before she was expected. More over. # could not be concealed. for all the hostess lovely courtesy, that kitch. en duties were calling.
 With one of the sudden flashes of il nomination that occurs 10 us all al times. S1nt Clara understood that th: sisters did their own work. and ore val to prepare luncheon. 10 which severa had been invited. while the other en ! tertained the guest.
 What did you say. Aunt Clara-" hei niece asked. breathlessly. when this par Of the recital was reached
 T said she replied. vfsh the siree- ness which endssrs her to her friends that I have a niece at home rko vorl tell me it served me right That heir two hours ahead of tine wazr't ru-r tusiity. il vas foolisnness and oss | irconsidersisnesz Then" she ada q went out into the kitchen and hsIa. f Miss Barnes make salad We had | suIerdid tius."-YOEth1s Coupzrisr

The fact that ffty-fve sailors from the Kniaz Po- temkine who surrendered have been imprisoned on board the different yes sels of the squadron, awaiting trial for rebellion. has caused intense indigna- tion among the crews, and as conse- ouence fears of another outbreak are rife
