SAFEGUARDS OF NO AVAIL.
Terrorists Warn General Trepoff That
His End Is Near.

his End Is Near.
st. Petersburg, July 14.-The resig-
nation of M. Bouligan as minister of
the interior is expected daily. General
Trepoff, the assistant minister of the
interior, will probably be his successor.
The terrorists have recently renew
ed their warnings against General Ire
poff with ominous persistence. The
general is constantly in receipt OF let
ters signed by the executive commit
tee OF the fighting organization in
forming him that his hour has come.
A remarkable feature of all the COM
municatiOns is that the writer's all
take pains to say that no safeguards
will avail to avert his impending doom.
At the same time they tell him he
need not be afraid to go abroad in the
streets. They add:
Your sentence will be executed in
your own room. You will die in bed. .
The terrorists seem to take pride in
issuing challenge involving demon
stration Of their power and resources
to penetrate the armor Of the police.
Moreover. General Trepoff knows
enough of the resources and desper-
ateness Of the organization to firmly
believe that the terrorists are able to
execute their threat. He makes no
concealment of the fact that he ex-
poets to be killed, but his nerve is
unshaken. II will at least die at the
post Of duty" he said.
s-A isl 5sssat teis seneral 'rlepoff takes a
gloomy view Of the future Of the au.
tocracy, III which he believes. T'he
general is confident that if given un,
trammelled power he could restore the
old status quo in year, but the pres
ent vacillating policy, he thinks. viii

fracture of the skull
One hundred and tWenty-six men
employed in Neuman's factory went
out on strike two days ago and dis
turbances around the factory have

TOWN PRACTICALLY RUINED.
JAP COMMANDMENT CAUSES a
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT
kARsAkoRsk.

Toxic, July 14.-An eyewitness Of
the Japanese bombardment of Karsa-
korsk wires that the Russian forts
were silenced on July after the ex-
change of very few shots. The piers,
warehouses and other buildings were
set ON fire and the confagration was
reflected by the fogsy atmosphere con-
verting the sky into one mass of blood
red color. The Japanese army landed
amidst the fire, which was fast spread
ing to the forts. from the tops of which
the beWildered inhabitants were seen
fleeing i'll every direction, carrying
with them what property they could
remove. The fires were not subdued
for over forty eight hours.
The Russian cruiser Noyik, which
was destroyed by the Japanese at Kar-
sakorsk last August, and the ruined
town and forts are sad witnesses of
the rapidity with which destruction is
wrought in modern warfare.

Private letters from st. Petersburg
state that the police have discovered
