Dull Times in the Lima Oil Field.

Lima, o., April 19.-With differ
ence of more than so cents per barrel
in the price of crude oil as compared
with year ago, there has been a
gradual slump in field operations with
the decline in price. Operations are
practically at standstill, even the
most promising. leases lying idle, and
many of the best holdings are being
sold. Producers openly charge that
the Standard is working both ends in
its monopoly, for while the price has
been taking a downward course, the
Ohio Oil Co., the purchasing depart
ment of the Standard, has taken up
lease after lease that has either been
allowed to lapse or forced on the mar
ket by foreclosures.

THE FIGHT IN
The EQUITABLE.
Resolutions Endorsing President Alex
ander Adopted at Meeting OF
Society's Managing Agents.
THEY FAVOR NATURALIZATION
The State Senate in Session at Albany
Listened to a Speech by Senator
Bracket in Which He At
tacks the Equitable's So
ciety's Officers.

New York, April 19-After a ses-
sion yesterday at the Hotel Savoy
lasting for nearly six hours, the 200
managing agents of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society from all over the
United States adopted resolutions ask
ing the New York Legislature to "eXer-
else its plenary power by enacting an
amendment to the societys charter"
this amendment to give the policy
holders admission to the directorate
of the society.
Several sets of resolutions were
adopted. President Alexander made a
brief speech. Vice President Hyde
followed him and referred to the sale
by Vice President Tarbell of the lat
ter's interest in the renewal account
to the company, which brought forth
sharp retort from Mr.. Tarbell. Then
all three officers left the meeting and
the agents devoted their time to dis
cussion behind closed doors.
The first set of resolutions declared
that the agents pledged their "unquali-
fed support" to President Alexander
and expressed their "entire confidence
that the president will finish the work
of naturalization that he has so cour-
ageously begun"
The Frick committee of investiga-
ton was commended in another reso-
| luton.
Albany, N. Y, April 19.-An all day
debate in the senate characterized by
charges against the management of
tthe Equitable Life Assurance Society
and the return of Superintendent of
Insurance Hendricks, who for the first
time since the Equitable investigation
began talked on that topic with any
thing approaching freedom, brought
the affairs of that corporation into
sensational notice Tuesday.
The subject came before the senate
in the form of resolution introduced
by Senator Bracket to take from the
insurance committee his bill to facili-
tate policyholders' suits for account
ings. Being unable to get favorable
report on this measure, Senator
Bracket secured chance to voice his
views by putting in this resolution and
having it made a special order of de-
| bate. The resolution was defeated
Bracket in his speech attacked the
management of the Equitable in

Cleveland, April 15.-It is apparent
from the proceedings in the United
States district court before Judge Tay-
Ter, Friday that Mrs. Cassie l.. Chad
wick is about to make an effort to re-
gain her freedom by Offering bail
bond. District Attorney Sullivan ex-
pressed himself as satisfied with the
existing bono which is $4,000, but
Judge Wing insisted that he desired
all the indictments against Mrs. Chad
wick covered. "The bond in the last
case" said Judge Tayler, may be
fixed at $4,000, and the remaining in
dictments, not covered by bond, at
81 900 each" This brings the bond
against the woman in the federal
court to $4,000, and in the state court
at $4,000, making total of $4,000.

MYSTERIOUS SHOT
AROUSES RUSSIA
Battery Riddled Chapel..-0fficials Claim
ii Was an Accident.

, 81. Petersburg, Jan. 20.-Durlng
the annual ceremony of blessing the
waters In front OF the winter palace
by Emperor Nicholas yesterday, sew.
eral shots were fred from across the
Neva, and the bullets entered the
windows of the palace.
No one was hurt.
The incident caused considerable
alarm.
One bullet cut clean hole two
inches in diameter through a double
upper window in Nicholas hall, i'm
mediately above window from
which a group OF correspondents and
officers were viewing the ceremony.
Electric lamps on the opposite
side of the hall were smashed and
fell to the floor with a clatter.
An officer picked up the bullet
which was OF iron and resembled a
shrapnel ball.
The imperial party soon after re-
entered the palace and the emperor
was Informed of the occurrence. and
as the procession passed, an officer
pointed out the holes in the windows.
The emperor was quite unmoved,
and hardly glanced at the place in
dicated.
Grandduke Vladimir. eldest uncle
of the car, Immediately opened an
investigation and Intercepted wit
nesses
Additional particulars show that
the emperor had miraculous es-
cape. There is no longer any doubt
that the missiles came from gun
of the Bourse battery which was
loaded with grape shot. Some bull
let's actually struck little open
chapel in which the emperor was
standing. fairly Kidding the basement
windows of the palace. killing a po-
llceman outright and wounding an
officer and three marines. Had the
gun been aimed a little lower the
whole Romanoff dynasty might have
been wiped out. All men and Off
GERS of the battery were Immediately
arrested
Il is now stated in official circles
that the grape was fired from one of
the guns of the Seventh battery,
First horse artillery of the guard, the
most aristocratic corps in the Rus
sian army. II seems that at gun
practice Tuesday a loaded shell was
inadvertently left in the gun.

the imperial chapel. Whatever may
be the solution, II Is n strange fact
that the shot came from the bourse
esplanade, where was stationed the
First horse artillery of the guard,
the premier artillery organization of
the empire and one of the most noted
regiments in the whole Russian SER
vice. The roster of this organization
has included some of the most illus
trious names in Russia.
Military experts say indications
point to a charge consisting of grape
having been surreptltiously inserted
in saluting cartridge. If this was
the case probably only one man was
involved. Certainly II there was an
extensive, deep laid plot, or II an Of
ficer was involved. 1t was badly ex-
ecuted. II Is pointed out that II is
hardly probable an expert artillery
man should have prepared a weak,
scattering charge which could hardly
carry across the Neva. At the same
time an indication of design is the
fact that the gun was laid directly
against the imperial pavilion. Had
the gun contained a service charge or
regular she'll the pavilion would have
been destroyed. II is clear, however,
that the saluting was done most recl<-
lessly. as flashes of the blank shots
from st. Peter and st. Paul fortress
showed the guns were directed
straight at the winter palace.
