dence and Its signers.
Washington, Feb. 18.-Colonel Will
liam H. Michael, chief clerk of the
state department, by order of con-
gress, has published a book giving an
Illustrated history of the declaration
of independence, with the biographies
and portraits of the signers and the
secretary of the congress.
The advance copies of this work
have been received at the department.
The illustrations include not only pho
tographs of the famous state paper in
it's present decayed condition, but also
a number of photographs taken when
the document was in a better state
of preservation. The volume was pre-
pared primarily as an aid to those in
charge of the exhibit of the depart
ment of state at expositions in ex-
planning that part of the exhibit relat.
ing to the declaration of indepen-
dence. The series of portraits OF
the signers is complete and there
is an interesting fac smile of the
broadside copy of the declaration as
signed by John Hancock, president OF
the congress, for and on behalf of the
members of the congress, attested by
Charles Thomson, secretary. Especial
Iy interesting is the correspondence
relating to the declaration which is
given. Because of the historic value
of the workaof Colonel Michael, con
gress ordered the book printed as
government publication.

$1,000 Diamond Brooch Is Snatched
From Throat of Gotham Woman.
New York, Feb. 1S.-Ore-of the
most audacious of many recent robber-
les in this city occurred in the Bronx
early today when a highwayman at
tackled Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Cornish
in front of their home, snatched a
$4,000 diamond brooch from Mrs. Cor.
nish's throat fired two bullets through
the clothing of Cornish when he remon-
strated and then escaped after an ex-
citing race with policeman in which
several shots were exchanged, but
so far as known without effect
The police have only a meager de-
scription of the man and there seems
little change that he will be cap
tured
The robber followed Mr.. and Mrs.
Cornish home from a street car in
which the lavish display of diamonds
worn by the couple had attracted
much attention.

Ladies and gentlemen" he said
calmly, smoke has been discovered
somewhere in the building. There is
no danger, but we haven't been able
to trace its source. For precaution's
sake we have decided it best to clear

There is absolutely no cause for alarm

and moved in orderly fashion towrad

as to the condition of the peach crop
in north Georgia. These reports in

come from the Dalton district, where
they say the peaches are all killed. In
the celebrated Menlo district half

Depression, like the shade of doom,
seems to be hanging over the Russian
Capital. Bells are tolling and the peo.
pie in the streets are awe-stricken al
yesterdays bloody crime. Every one
seems to shrink before the contem.
plation Of what may happen next. The
tragedy struck deep in the heart of the
perplexed and tried emperor and many
who were unsparing in their criticism
yesterday today have only expressions
of sympathy for his unhappy lot.
The bitter cup, which, during the
last year he's been pressed again and
again to his lips is once more filled
to the brim and in almost pathetic
words this morning he implores his
subjects to pray for the repose OF
the soul of his murdered uncle.
Death is in the air, and no one
knows where the next blow may fall,
although precautions have been doub,

Although only the official papers

them are strangely sober. Some pa.
pers which in the past have been
ready to law almost any charge at the
door of Grand Duke Sergius, are draw.
ing back before the prospect of the in
auguration of a reign of terror, fear
ing that it may destroy the bright
prospects of reform and lead to an
era of repression. But even in the
midst of universal depreciation of the
crime the majority express the hope
that after all the darkest hour always
comes just before dawn. Among the
revolutionaries, however, there is a
glory in the deed, proclaiming that it
removes the most reactionary influ-
ence at court and also proclaim the
general theory that in the absence of
armed resistance only by the error
can concession be wrung from the
hands OF the autocracy According to
their view any weapon is justifable.
AS matter Of fact it is too early yet
to say what the political effect will
be. For the moment everything is at
a standstill.

St Petersburg, Feb. 1S.-1:30 p. m.
In diplomatic circles the opinion is
quite generally expressed that yester
days tragedy may be followed by the
decision of the government to con.
clude peace. For some time despite
the official attitude maintained by the
government ther has been a growing
appreciation of the difficulties of pros
ecuting the war in the midst of in.
creasing complications at home and,
as announced by the Associated Press,
the matter will be the subject of for
NAL consideration by the emperor and
his ministers Feb. 16. Strong influ.
ences which, it is understood, in spite
of denials, are headed by NJ Witte,
president of the committee of minis
ters, have been working quietly in this
direction. Major General Grippen
burg's statements followed by the muir
der of Grand Duke Sergius in the opin.
ion of some of the ablest diplomats
are not unlikely to lead the emperor
definitely to decide upon peace. In
this connection the war office is con.
s1derably alarmed by the new dan.
ger threatening the Manchurian army
from the systematic attempts making
by Japan and Chinese bandits to cut
the line of communications back OF
the army. According to reports
about 10000 men split up into bands
of several hundred each and are oper
ating from Mongolia, and are attack
ing the railroad. The Russian de-
tachment following up the Japanese
band which had cut the road below
Harbin, fell into an ambuscade of two
regularly organized Japanese regi
ments and was almost cut to pieces
losing half it's men and one gun.
The fear is that if the bands move
further north or west they might in.
terrupt communication to such an ex
tent as to make it impossible to sup
ply the army. This danger has al
