Moscow's Project Assassinated.
Count Shuvaloff, the project of po-
lice at Moscow, Russia, was shot in
his office July IL by a man who was
waiting for an audience. The project
died within thirty minutes. The as.
sassin was arrested and later was iden-
titled as a revoludonist The motive
for the crime was not SO apparent as

Russia Gets the Rebel Ship.
Admiral Kruger of the Black sea
feet arrived at Kustendje, Roumania,
July 8 to arrange for the transfer Of
the Kniaz Potemkine, which had been
abandoned by her mutinous crew the
day before on demand Of the Rouma-
MAN authorities. Later 1t was found
that before they left the mutineers
had opened the ships sea cocks. Be
fore the leak could be stopped the yes
sci had sunk eighteen inches and rest
ed on the bottom of the harbor. The
water was pumped out, and Russian
crew took possession. The crew of
the torpedo boat refused to surrender
on the ground that they were not reb-
els, but had been coerced into sup
porting the mutineers. They gave them
selves up to Russian officials. The lead
er of the mutineers was named Matu-
schenks. He and bis followers went to
Bucharest Their claim to the treas
ure of the battleship was not recog-
nized by Roumania. The collapse of
the mutiny was due in part to the fact
that no officers of ability We're disaf-
fected and partly because of failure
of other crews to Join In the revolt.
French Amnesty Defeated.

Editors Against Eight Hour Day.
The National Editorial association
at Its recent annual meeting at Guth-
RE put itself on record squnrely as OPP
posed TO the coming demand of the
international Typographical union for
eight hours as its working day at the

regardless Of the conditions OF supply

base opposition on the right OF liberty
of action and the management on ones
own affairs, under the limitations OF
the law and with due regard to the
rights OF others. The right of the
union 10 make the demand Is recog
nized, but the proposed arbitrary en-
