The Duchessc dc Grammont, whose
decease has to be announced in the

prominent figures in Partisan society.

held the first place through her charm
and her dignity. During the Drcyfus at

prevent any attack being made in her

Throughout her life she was an cXuTn-

Pleas For Mrs. Edwards.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 4.-The re-
prieve by Governor Bell of Vermont
of Mrs. Mary Rogers. who was to be
hanged yesterday has brought to
Governor Pennypacker kilograms from
all over the country asking him to re.
prieve Mrs. Kate Edwards, under
sentence of death in Reading on Feb.
1G. These kilograms are of a most
pleading character and say that now
that Mrs. Rogers has been reprieved
the governor should do the same for
Mrs Edwards. Mrs. Edwards case
rests with the board of pardons, and
that body will not meet until the day
before that set for Mrs. Edwards
hanging. The governor has no au.
thority to grant a pardon or commute
a sentence, except upon the written
recommendation OF the board.

OF A POLITICAL CHARACTER.
Procurator.GeneraI Was Looked Upon
as an Exponent of classification
of Finland,

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-THE news Of
the assassination of Soisalon Soini-
men, procurator general of Finland,
though occurring before noon on Mon
day, was not known generally in St.
Petersburg last night, but may be eX-
pected to produce an immense sensa-
tion when 1t becomes public, as it will
be regarded as the precursor of an
era of terrorism for which the events
of January in st. Petersburg and
throughout Russia gave the signal.
Until the identity of the assassin is
known it will be impossible to estab-
lish positively the motive for the at
Tempt, but the present circumstances
in Finland render it almost certain
that the crime is of purely political
character and of the same nature as
!. the assassination of Count Bobrikoff,
the governor general of Finland, in
June of last year.
The classification of Finland has
been meeting with great opposition
and creating much bitterness, es-
pecially since the formation of the
party of active resistance, recruited
from the bolder spirits of the original
party of passive resistance and to
which the perpetrator of this latest
crime probably belongs.
At the conference of revolutionary
parties Of Russia, comprising repre-
sentativos Of the Finnish Active Re.
sistance party the Polish National
League, the Russian emancipationists
and other revolutionary organiza-
tions, in Berlin last November a pro.
gram for general concerted action was
drawn up. and the assassin of Soininen
undoubtedly was in touch with the
dissatisfied element throughout Rus.

ARGENTINE REBELLION.
Government Troops Dispersed the
Rebels at Mendoza,

Buenos Ayres, Feb. 7.-Government
troops attacked the rebels, who had
fortified themselves at Mendoza, at
dawn yesterday. Soon afterwards
the rebel leaders and officers fed to
the mountains, whereupon the men
surrendered unconditionally. The
rebels had sacked the local branch of
the national bank of Buenos Ayres
and seized 100000. Numerous ar
rests have been made and the city is
now quiet.
Late information shows that the in
surrectionary movement is now re.
stricted to Cordoba. Generals Wint-
ter, Benavides, Garcia and Roca,
with largely superior forces, are sur
rounding the city.
The rebels are holding Senator
Yofre.
The Buenos Ayres police have
seized a quantity of guns and revol-
vers and also many copies of mani
festos and revolutionary documents.
Night trains on the line between
Buenos Ayres and Rosario will be re-
sumed again tomorrow.
All the bankers here condemn the at
tempted revolution and express the
hope that the energetic policy of
President Quintana will have the eff
feet of preventing any such attempt in
the future.
The only group of rebels in the
province Of Buenos Ayres, 10 men
strong has been defeated near Pro
vano station. Two officers and seven
men were killed and 121 surrendered.
The rest with Commandant Villamayor
are retreating and government troops
are in pursuit.
The insurrection Is admitted to
have been failure and the govern
ment now has matters we'll in hand

doba endeavored to make terms with
the government by offering to sur.

mittcd TO retain their ranks, threat

BETRAYED "MAFIA" SECRETS.
Love For a Girl Causes Man to Tell
What He Knows Of the Black

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 6.-Through
the love of a girl the authorities Of
Lackawanna county have obtained the
secrets Of the "Mafia" society which
reigned in Carbondale and which they
are now endeavoring to crush. One
of the leaders of the society, Joseph
Colandre, who is a prisoner in the
Lackawanna jail, has made detailed
confession in the hope of being re-
leased or getting only a short term.
The confession was obtained by his
sweetheart, Rosa Romaine, whom he
was to have married in June, and
who for several days has been plead
ing with him to tell the authorities all
he knows.
Not until Santo Carisaro had been
years and nine months in jail, and
Frank Muncula had pleaded guilty
and had been sentenced to four years
and nine months did Colandre weak
en- and tell the secrets of the society.
Colandre said the organization was
known to the members merely as 'the
society" and not as the Malta He told
District Attorney Lewis that he had
been forced to join the gang under
threat Of death, and that he was COM
PEELED, in order to protect himself, to
go with them when they cornered a
man and made him disgorge after
threatening him with injury or tell.
ing him his throat would be cut. He
named John Costa of New York city
as the head of the society, who issued
all the orders and to whom the money
collected was turned over.
Frank Moncula, who pleaded guilty,
he says, was the leader of the Carbon
dale society and the personal repre-
sentative OF Costa. He named other
members of the society. Colandre
gave the district attorney list Of
the victims, the money they paid, the
threats made against them, and every
little detail of the ramifications of the
society which he knew. These facts
will now aid greatly in the prosecution
of the several prisoners awaiting trial.
This confession may effect Colan-
dre's release after a short term, but
makes him subject to the vengeance
of the Malta, and threats have already
been made Frank Muncula said five
years in prison was not long enough
to make him forget, and that when he
came out he would Elk" the man who
