Another thing. The allowance of

ORDERS THE COSSACkS

"Show The Rebel Dogs That You Ate Not Econom.caE
Of cartldges" Says The Order Against The
Peasants Gwen Ry Maxn1oytch
AND SLAUGHTER PREDICTED

/ ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. S.-yla,
Tydebuhnon, Dec, 0.-The first act
ot General MaximovItch, former gov,
crnor general Of Warsaw who has
been appointed the successor Of Gen.
eral Kharofr to crush ont the peasant
uprising was to issue the following
order to the Cossacks under his com.
mand:
DO not use the clout ON malcon.
tents but shoot wherever you meet
with the slightest opposition. Show
the rebel dogs you are not economt
cal of cartridges. The more political
malcontcnts you kill the higher will
be the Cars estimate Of your service
Take care that your actions create q
good impression on the government
The order is bound to result in
some awful slaughter as the peasants
have been goaded into fury by the no
tice to the Cossacks. There are so.
600 armed peasants in General Maxi
movltch's district which includes the
provinces of saratoff, samara, sIm-
birsh, and Ponza and there Is no doubt
they will defend themselves. The re-
suit Is hound to be severe fighting
and awful slaughter unless the Car
countermands General Maximoyltca's
orders.
General Maximoyitch was given his
new appointment in order to afford
him an opportunity to redeem him
self for his cowardly conduct at War
sew during the time he was governor
general. For months MaximoVitch
was afraid to venture out on the
streets Of Warsaw, fearing that ne
would be assasslnated. He even found
excuses for not attending public re.
ligious services at the Cathedral. 81
nally he left Warsaw one night az
midnight going to Legreze. near Ivan.
Gorod fortress, whence he issued OF.
iers to the police at Warsaw to stamp
out the reyolutionIsts. The revolu.
tionaries at Warsaw, responded to
these orders to the police by holding
up the sentries outside Of General
Maxlmovltch's palace and pInning NO
tices on their backs threatening Max.
imovitch with assassination,
Governor General Maximoyitch was
reminded Of these Incidents when he
was appointed General sakarhoR's
successor and IT was intimated to him
that only by shedding the blood Of the
peasants could he wipe out the stain
on his reputation as the result Of his
Warsaw experiences.

ed States Senate will not be repre-
sented at the funeral Of the late Sen
ator Mitchell, of Oregon, either by a
committee of its members, or by a
special official Of the Senate desig'
mated for that purpose. The an
nouncement of this determination was
made this morning after a conference
between Vice President Fairbanks and
Sergeant,at.arms Ransdell, in a brief
statement which says that the friends
Of the Senator will not ask for the ap.
pointment of such committee, nor the
designation of such official.
1t is pointed out that even were a
committee of Senators appointed,
they could not possibly reach Oregon
in time to attend the funeral. With re-
gard to the failure to drape the sena'
tors seat, it is stated that it is only
customary to drape the seats OF de-
ceased Senators after the formal noti'
fication of death has been made to the
Senate and then only up to the time OF
burial. The Senate will not meet un'
til noon next Monday by which time
the funeral will have taken place,
No formal notice of the death of Sen
ator Mitchell has yet been made to
the Senate.

denCe and arguments in this cele-
brated case for the past several days.

He was drinking considerably and
entering the Fountain saloon told
two men, one Of whom was Schwartz,
formerly unknown to him, Of the oc-
currence and tried to describe to
them the man he was hunting. He
exhibited a revolver and Schwartz
evidently thought he was going to
shoot some one and grabbed him. In
the scufle the gun was discharged,
the ball entering sChwartz's side. j..
A few days later he died in the Cook

the part OF Harlow to commit man,
slaughter. This carries with 1t ine
