A SCATHING ARRAIGNMENT OF
PRINCE MIRSKY.
Styles Shooting of Workmen Premedi-
tated Massacre, and Charges Will
full and Unprovoked Murder.

ST. PETERSBURG. April S-The in
dictment of Maxim Gorky, who is styled
therein IAN artisan of Nizhni Novgorod
Alexis Maximoff Peschkoff,' contains the
text of document found in the ST.
Petersburg residence of Advocate Eugene
kedrine, and the authorship of which
Gorky is alleged to have admitted This
document styles the shooting of the
workmen premedtated massacre and ac-
cuses Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky (who at
the time was minister of the interior) Of
willful and unprovoked murder. 1t con-
tinues:
Emperor Nicholas was informed of the
character of the workmen's movement
and OF the peaceful intentions of his late
subjects, the innocent victims killed by
soldiers. but Notwithstanding this knowl-
edge, he allowed them to be massacred.
We, therefore, accuse him also of having
caused the killing of people who in no
wise provoked such measures"
Details Events of January %.
The document details the events of Sun
day, January %, the day on which the
troops fired on the workmen in st. Peters,
burg, and points out the absence of
revolutionary character to the demon
stration. 1t relates that the day previous
to the disturbance the signatorieS of the
document went to Minister of Justice
Muravieff with view to requesting him
not to order out the troops and to enable
the workmen to speak freely with the
emperor. The signatories were informed
by the secretary of the minister that 1t
was no affair of the minister of justice.
Afterward, the document says. they went
to President of the Committee of Ministers
White, to whom they expressed the rear
that blood would be shed. M. White re-
piled that Interior Minister Sviatopolk-
Mfrsky was more accurately informed as
to the state of affairs, but that Emperor
Nicholas certainly had been made acquaint-
ed with the situation. NJ. White added that
personally he was impotent to do anything.
He telephoned to Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky
asking the minister of the interior II he
would receive the deputation, but Prince
Svia topolk- Mirsky refused to do so. The
document concludes:

cultivation position Is, in many in
stances, Of secondary importance, for
che plants may often be induced to
scramble into a suitable position in
which to flower. The chief point for
the grower to bear in mind is the
necessity for a well-drained, calcareous
soil. Given such a soil and an ordinary
amount Of care everyone should be
able to grow the most up-to-date varie-
ties. Usually a position against a sun
ny wall is selected, but one against a
rustic wall is preferable If it is not
too much exposed. When against a
wall the plants are liable to suffer
through the excessive heat caused by
reflection and radiation during the hot
test parts of the day. On the other
hand, the practice of planting against
arches has its drawbacks. as the plants
here are apt to suffer during very Sc
