 Twenty-three were injured. including three women, one student and two schoolboys. One Of the latter is detain- ed at the police station, having been noticed warning people against going into Miodowa street. Many reports are in circulation of strangers having stop ped poorly dressed persons going in that direction. Shopkeepers assert that the street was unusually empty at the time of the explosion.
 To-day's outrage is the sixth of sim, liar character in Warsaw since the January disturbances. The editors oi Polish papers have decided to publish lto-morroW, if the censor will permit it strong articles denouncing such attacks
 Governor General Maximovitch sent his adjutant to the hospital this after noon with message of sympathy fol ] the wounded, and an offer to take care of the injured.
 The man who was carrying the bornt has now been identified as a Polish shoemaker named Dobrowolski, mem Der of the violent section of the so- lcialists.

JOHANN HOCH GUILTY;
 SENTENCED TO DEATH
VERDICT REACTED IN LESS THAN HALF AN
 HOUR.

Jury Took But Three Ballots-Man Re-
 IIeved to Have Married st Least
 Forty Wives in the Last Fifteen
 Years and to Have Poisoned Many
 Whistles Lively Air as He is Re-
 turned to His Cell.
 Chicago, May 19.--Johann Hoch, who by his own confession, is a polygamist, and who is charged by the police with having married forty women in tha last fifteen years, to-day was found guilty by jury of murdering the next to his last wife, Marie Welcker Hoch. The death sentence was recommended by the jury.
 Hoch had been married to Mrs Welcker only a short time when she became suddenly ill and died. He then married the sister of the dead wonl- an, and, securing the sisters money fled from Chicago. This Mrs. Hoch told the police that Hoch had poison- ed her sister, and a search for Hoch was begun. He was found two weeks later in New York and brought to Chicago, and confronted by several al- legged wives. During the trial expert testimony was offered by the state that Hoch had poisoned the woman by ad- ministering arsenic.
 To-day's verdict was reached in less than half an hour. Three ballots were taken. The first ballot was unanimous as to Hoch's guilt, and then ballot fp1l a &p a fn 1>, inflicted. This bollot showed ten in favor of the death penalty and two for live Imprisonment. A third ballot re- suited in the tweve Jurynen voting for the death penaty.
 Well, I guess it's all off with John, groaned Hoch, as the verdict was read in court. He was greatly affected. He had sat in a stooping position, but when the word death" was read. he turned pale, stared hopelessly at the jurors, and then sank limp in his chair. Hooks attorneys will ask for new trial, although the condemned man de- clared he was ready to die, and would be better satisfied if they did not make an effort to save him.
 1T wish they would hang me to- night, now that l have been found guilty declared Hoch. T am not afraid to die, and the sooner 1t is over with the better
 Hoch expressed surprise at the find- | ing of the jury, and declared that the jurors did not take time to consider the 1 evidence.
 The evidence was all circumstan-l tial," he said, land my life was guess ed away by the jury, which did not give sufficient consideration to the tes- tinaony offered.
 I Hoch denied positively that he had murdered a number of wives. as has l been alleged, and displayed bitterness in speaking of the matter. Hoch said he preferred the death penalty to life imprisonment, and then commenced to whistle a lively air as he returned to his cell.

RUSSIA,S COMPLAINT.
Says Japanese Are Going to Remov,
 Korean Emperor to Japan.

Says Japanese Are Going to Remove
 Korean Emperor to Japan.
 St. Petersburg, May 19--The Russian charge d'affaires at Pekin has inform ed the Chinese government that, ac- cording to revorts, the Japanese intend removing the Emperor of Korea to Ja- pan in contravention of the treaty of Shimonoseki guaranteeing the inde- pendence of Korea. The Russian gov- ernment has protested against such ac- tion to all the powers.
 Washington, May 19.-'4The treaty of Shimonosoki which brought to close the Japanese Chinese war, guaranteed the Independence of Korea. Japan will not violate the terms of that treaty. Statements that the Japanese govern ment contemplates removing the Ern- peror of Korea to Javan in contraven- tion of that treaty are incorrect and are circulated with a mischievous purpose in view" ....
 This was the comment on the St. Pe- tersburg dispatch that Japan intended to remove the Korean emperor to Ja- pan made by Minister Takahira, of Ja- pan tonight. The minister had heard recently that reports of this character were in circulation. AS between the governments of Japan and China, it is realized that so long as interests of the United States are not menaced there is no ground for this government to inter- fere in this connection, except perhaps to exert its good influences for the con-

DISAPPEARANCE OF THE
 RUSSIAN BALTIC FLEET
LEADS FRENCH EXPERTS TO BE- LIZZIE 4 BATTLE ISIM-

Either This or Rojestyensky Has suc-
 ceeded in Establishing Naval Base
 Another Belief That the Fleet Has
 Divided and is Making for Vladiyos-
 tok-General Linevitch Reports Re
 pulse of Japanese Force-Latter Oc-
 cupy Yandi Pass.
 Paris. May 19-S D. m.-The appar- ently complete disappearance of the Russian far eastern fleet leads to the belief that either a battle is imminent or that Admiral Rojestvensky has sue ceeded in establishing a naval base. On the other hand, it is pointed out here that the position of the fleet May 16 in latitude iS.sO and longitude 111.S0 indicated that it might have been de- cided to follow a course north of Luzon into the Pacific instead of going through the Straits of Formosa, where Admiral Togo is believed to be await ing Admiral Rojestvensky. It is main tained that the Japanese difficulties have been increased by their inability to determine whether the Russians are proceeding unitedly or have divided their fleet into two squadrons. Some experts maintain that the fleet has been divided for the purpose of permitting one division to reach Vladivostok while the other occupies the attention of Ad- miral Togo.
 Naval circles here are disposed to criticise the Japanese tactics in failing to harass Rojestvensky's transports during the long period of taking on supplies. The results of Rojestvensky's s movements are being awaited with in tense interest in official quarters.

STILL CIRCULATING.
Matter of Uniting Reformed and Press
 byterian Churches.

B35s T }UyIeEldn Ohurcness4ss -f$eG
 Fort Worth, Texas, May 19.The question of uniting the Reformed and Presbyterian churches remains a mat. ter of speculation. The report of the committee on closer relations was or dered to be referred to a committee of thirteen to be appointed by Moderator Plunkett. This committee will report back to the assembly is recommenda- tion on the question.
 It is generally believed that there is little likelihood of steps looking to a union of the two churches being taken by this assembly. It is probable, how ever, that the question of closer rela- tionship with the northern church will. be taken up, and, in the event that this is done, 1t is thought that it may lead to final union.
