MEMBERS OF the House who ore now
interested in the omnibus public build
ing bill, are making desperate effort to
force Speaker Cannon to grant rule
for the consideration of the bill, although
the Speaker has declared such strong
opposition to it. These members got
up a petition yesterday addressed to the
committee on rules urging that rule be
reported setting aside time for consider
ing the building bill, which they feel
confident will command votes enough to
pass if they can only succeed in getting
1t up in the House. A member of the
delegation Of each important State was
designated to get the signatures of bis
colleagues TO the petition. Usually
the member thus designated was
a man who has in the building
bill an appropriation for new build
ing in some town in his district.
The petition was very generally signed.
and there is, therefore, little doubt it
will 60 to the committee on rules with
the names of considerably more than a
majority Of the total membership of the
House attached to it. Their showing is
expected to force the hands of the
Speaker so that he will feel constrained
to allow the committee on rules to fix
a time for consideration of the bill. This
will partially insure lis passage through
the House, but there is little doubt it
will be squelched by the steering COM
mittee in the Senate, so the knowing
ones in Washington say that after all
no omnibus building bill will become q
law during this session of Congress.

RUSSIAN TERRoRIsTs.

Two hours before the news of the as
ssssination of Grand Duke Sergius was
received in New York yesterday Joseph
.BarUndess, orator and revolutionary
sympathizer, predicted the use of dyna-
mite in Russia as a sequel to the govern
ments iumored plan 10 exile Maxine
Gorky. slr. Barondess had said: Exile
OF Gorky would be the greatest blow
that the Russian government officials
can strike against themselves. II will
be great victory Of freedom. Dynamite
will be resorted to. In all parts of the
civilized world funds are being ra ised to
enter more emphatic protest against
Russian tyranny. Money for the pur-
pose Of ammunition is being raised in
Germany, France, England and Ia this
country"
The prediction OF Mr.. Barondess IS a
remarkable coincidence. coming, as it
did, but few hours before bomb was
exploded under the carriage ofthe "besti
hated man" in Russia.
"Grsnd Duke Sergius was executed
for a crime committed on December l9,
1904. He was warned not to interfere
with a popular demonstration which
took place that day in Moscow. He
did interfere; blood was shed in the
streets, and Sergius was prom pity tried
and found guilty"
This statement WAS made yesterday
afternoon by DIR. Charles Rayevsky, 233
Henry street, in New York. the Ameri-
can representative of tho committee
militant Of the Russian socialist revolu-
tionary party. Il was this organization
which also killed Won Plehve and Car
Alexander III.
The news OF the tragedy in which
Gaand Duke Sergius WAS blown up
created tremendous sensation 10 st.
Petersburg yesterday. The tragedy was
no great surprise, as !. was known that
the terrorists had already condemned
the Grand Duke to death, and ever aimee
the affair of January %, the Inaugural
ton of bomb-throwiug campaign had

Grand Duke reached TsarskOe-SeIo

honor OF the Prussian guest were at once
abandoned
Yesterday afternoon Ambassador Nc
Cormick and the other ambassadors
drove to the palace to express their Off
cial condolences, also leaving their cards
at the palaces Of the various members of
the imperial family.
The explosion incident to the killing
of the Duke shook the city. The Grand
Dukes head was blown off and his body
torn to pieces. His coschman was also
killed.
The secret death-dealing agencies of
the terrorist element Of the revolution
airy party in Russia have struck terri
BILE blow.
Revolutionary agents in Vienna say

fate Of Sergius include; The Car,
Nicholas II, Grand Duke Vladimir,

Peace Talk

Even in the midst of the excitement
caused by the assassination of Grand
Duke Sergius there has been q noticeable
and sudden revival Of peace talk in ST.
Petersburg. 1t is even intimated that
Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia is
the bearer of personal representations
from Emperor William on this subject.
While it is positively known that the
question of peace was discussed between
Emperor Nicholas and Prince Frederick
Leopold yesterday, it is impossible to
ascertain what, if any, conclusions were
reached.
The Associated Press learns on excep-
tional authority that the question Of
peace was formally considered by EN-
peror Nicholas and bis ministers at the
conference held az Tsarskoe Selo Thurs
day. No particulars are ob,ainable, az
before the discussion began the En-
peror exacted from each one present
solemn promise not to digulge the slight.
est hint OF what tTanspired. The belief
is, however, that the possible conditions
and terms were under consideration.
1t is suggested in high quarters that
some intimation OF terms has reached the
Russian government from Japan, al
though it is certain that it did not come
through the regular diplomatic channels.
