The Disorders in Russia.

st. Petersburg, March l5.-It is stated
on good authority that the attacks OF the
peasants on landed prOprietors of Cherni-
goff province are the result mainly of
provocatiou on the part OF police agents.
Leaflets which were scattered among
the peasants melting them to revolt,
professed to emanate from the social
democratic party, which, in fact, does
not work among the peasants OF this dis
trict. 1t is supposed that the object OF
the agitation is to demonstrate to the
mobiles and the active members OF the
Zsmstvos their helplessness in the pres
ence of an element which the govern
ment alone can control by employment
of force. The strike here has been for
mally ended. There is great distress
among the workers. No further dis
turbance is anticipated before MAY.
st. Petersburg, March l5.-At con-
ference of government officials yesterday

ing the press, article $40 was discussed,

ding the discussion in the press Of the
affairs of state. 1t was desided to abolish
the article. and replace it with regula-
ton similar TO that which obtains in
Germany, which authorizes the gov
eminent in time OF war or peril to the
empire to limit the liberty OF the press.

Railroad depot in Washington last night
to purchase tickets 10 his home town,

until he and his wife had boarded the
train und taken seats in day coach,
when Just as the train started the same
negro came through the car aud brushed
against Mr. Ehler The negro hurried
to the car platform and jumped of.
Mr.. Ehler felt for his pocketbook, and
found it gone. he rushed to the plat
form in pursuit, and jumped of the
steps just as the train was crossing
Maryland avenue. The speed at this
time was so great that Mr.. Ehler was
rolled over and over as he struck the
ground, and narrowly escaped getting
under the wheels. The trainmen stopped
the train quickly, and Mr.. Ehler, on
being picked up, explained that he was
not hurt, but that be wanted his pocket
book. The negro, however, had dis.
appeared, and the police late last night
were still looking for him. Mrs. Ehler
left the train and went with her hus-
band to detective headquarters to report

Fifty-ninth Congress.
Washington, March 10.
SENATE.

Some little i'll feeling was shown on
the floor of the Senate today on account
OF the Santo Domingo affair Senator
Teller introduced a resolution in open
session instructing the State Department
to furnish the Senate will copies Of all
correspondence with Commander Dill
ingbam and Minister Dawson respecting
the recently negotiated treaty. Senator
Cullom objected to the resolution even
being read in open session, but Mr.. Tel
Ter insisted and had tie clerk read it in
full. DIR. Cullom then objected to its
consideration and it went over until TO-
morrow. The Senate then closed its
doors.
The managers. of the treaty have
practically abandoned all hope of rati-
flying it at the present session, and
will let it go over until the next Con-
gress rather than bring it to vote at
this time with the chances for its defeat.
The present session will probably adj
journ this week.

senator Bacon Stricken

Senator Bacon, of Georgia, was seized
with sudden attack of illness in the
executive session Of the Senate late yes
terday afternoon and the session was
brought to an abrupt close. Mr.. Bacon
took the floor. expecting to occupy the
time hetore adjournment for the day in
opening his argument, which was ex-
pected to be very exhaustive and has
been awaited with much interest by bis
colleagues. AT the moment he took the
floor TO address the Chair it was observed
by his colleagues that he appeared sud.
denly to be in distress. He tried to
speak, but could not articulate. Alter
repeated efforts to recover himself, and
without being able to utter sound, he
suddenly threw up his arms as If in an
effort to grasp something aud tell to the
floor in a state Of complete collapse. A
number of Senators rushed to his assist
ance, cha6ng his hands and rendering
such aid as suggested itself in the excite
ment. Senator Gallinger, who is ply
stefan, procured restoratives, which were
administered, and after awhile Mr.. Ba-
con was sufficiently recovered to be able
to speak and to be removed from the
Senate chamber and. sent home. The
Senate Immediately adjourned. Mr.
Bacon's condition occasions the great
est solicitude on the part of his friends.
At the close of the session he was very
much tagged from oyerwork, but declin-
ed to relax his energy, aud since the
extra session began he has worked very
hard in connection with the Santo Do
mingo treaty. His attack today is the
direct result of his oyertaxing himself.

THE WAR.

While it is believed the Russian wal
council at its meeting yesterday consid
cred the question of peace, announce
ment was made that the war would b
continued. The action of the French
bankers, however, in deciding to plst.
pone issue of the proposed new Russian
loan indefinitely because Of the uncer-
tainties OF the war situation is considered
significant. In some quarters the bank
I1ers' action is considered evidence that
Russia has reached the end Of her re-
sources. 1t is reported that the French
government has notified the bankers
that they must not conclude the loan
unless Russia is prepared to negotiate
peace. The Russian Foreign Office,
however, insists that Russia has not the
slightest idea of peace.
Field Marshal Oyama, according to a
Tie Pass correspondent, does not appear
to be pressing his advantage in an i'm
mediate attack upon that position, but
the Russians fear the reported vide turn
ing movement Of the japanese, who
have the great advantage of several bases
aud lines OF supply. Kuropatkin is now
sole dependent upon one base and one
line OF communication. He must re-
me,s his supplies from Tie Pass if he
plans retiring to Hardin, as thereare no
stores laid up between those two points.
The greater part of the retreating Rus
slams have reached Tie Pass.
Two American army officers, supposed
to be Major Macomb anu Captain judi
son, were with the Russians captured
near Mukden.
Grand Dake Nicholas Nicholsievitch,
second cousin of the Car, is again men,
toned as successor to General Kuropat-
kin as commander-in-chief, but the
Cars advisers now favor General Lux.

Nearly all the newspaper correspon-
dents have left Tie Pass because there
is nothing there to eat, no sleeping
shelter, and the officers are too surly to
give information.
The Associated Press correspondent
at Tie Pass sends the first complete story
of the battle of Mukden.
A semi-official denial was given out
in st. Petersburg yesterday of the re-
ported recall of the Russian second
Pacific squadron.

Little Girl Outraged and Murdered

Westchester, Pa, March 15.--Mary
Deluka, the four-year-old daughter Of
an Italian lsborer, at Howellsville, two
miles from Berwyn was outraged and
killed last night by an unk Iown person,
and her seven-year.old brother, who
went to her defense, was probably fatally
injured by his sisters assailsnt. The
boy was brought to the Westchester
Hospital, where his condition is critical.
One shoulder is dislecated and his skull
fractured. Mary's corpse was found in a
blacksmith shop, used by the quarry
men. Her brother, unconscious and
bleeding, was lying outside the door.
The boy could only tell disconnected
story when first brought TO the hospital
and this morning was unconscious and
incapable OF talking. From what be
said, two strange men met him aud his
sister and coaxed them into the black
smith shop, which was deserted at that
time. 1t is evident from his story that
when the men attacked his sister, her
screams brought him TO her defense.
One of the men turned on him, and beat
him severely. A bloody pickaxe handle
found on the floor OF the shop was
evidently used to beat the boy int un-
consciousness With the boy silenced,
the men proceeded to their awful work.
The little girl was brutally maltreated.
The Italians at Howellsville are wildly
excited today and are making dangerous
threats. The-parents Of the children are
distracted, and the father, who works in
the quarry, armed with shot guu, says
he will shoot the men who killed his
daughter on sight.
