citizen. has announced the offer OF a
reward Of $4,000 for the discovery Of
the person who has for two years been
writing letters to him demanding large
sums of money or dire results. Ihe Oh
fer of the reward reveals story OF
months of haunting fears which have
made life unbearable for the members
of the family. Mr.. and Mrs. Tonkln
had three daughters. one died three
years ago. The shock affected the pa
rents badly. 1t is said the body was
embalmed and kept in the house for
nearly eight months when the authori-
ties interfered and it was buried.
Soon after this came the first letter
demanding money or threatening harm
to RCsamond. Since then the misslVes
have arrived at frequent intervals. The
child has been so strictly guarded that
she has grown mOroSe and sickly.
Mr.. TOnkin showed the letter to the
Oswego police and employed detectives
but no clew to the writer could be OBJ
tanned. With nerves shattered by the
strain, Mrs. Tonkin took Rosamond to
New York six months ago, where

it would stimulate search for the writ

TREPOFF is A WORKER.
Expected That He Will Handle New
Duties with Good Judgment.

St. Petersburg, June 5.--(6.13 p. NJ J.
General Trepoff went to Tsarkoe
Selo, today, to thank the Emperor for
his appointment as assistant minister
Of the interior and to confer with His
Majesty regarding the exercise of the
great powers and heavy responsibility
entrusted to him by the ukase WHICH
was published in tie Official Messen-
ger, this morning. Curiously. the ap-
pointment of General Trepoff to his
new post IS not gaZetted. In govern
mant circles the appointment of Cen
eral Trepoff as assistant minister of
the interior, widening the scope Of his
authority SO that he may accomplish
in the whole empire what he has donc
in St. Petersburg since Jan. -, is re-
gar lded as an obvious step for the En-
peror to take if he is determined not
to abandon the Fundamental principles
of Russian rules and transform the
autocracv into limited monarchy of
the West European type.
1t is claimed that T'repoff, since his
appointment as governor general of ST.
Petersburg, has ma 'ntained order here.
has prevented a recrudeScence of til.
turlults of Jan. %, without loss Of life,
ana has handled the situation with the.
needed firmness. yet without giving
cause for complaint as the late Noi,
Plehve did by the adoption of urncces-
sarily stringent and arbitrary meas
uras.
Trepoff is one of the most energetic
officials in Russia and he requires the
same long hours of attention to duty
from his staff. The general is at his
desk shortly after o'clock in the
morning. and his subordinates are ex-
pected to be en- duty at o'clock. In
stead of keeping the easy hours exact
ed by other officrholders. Treooff inva-
liaby works late into the night.
Ii is not considered improbable that
the general may find immediate en-
plCymcnt for his new powers at Mos
COW. where the Social Democrats and
Social Revolutionists are planning to
hold conventions. this week. Sinulta :
neously with Shipcff's Zemstvo con-
gress, to which it is now proposed to
give wider scope the mayors of all the
cities in Russia having been invited to
serd delegates and take a stand in re-
gard to the continuance of the war.
The Novoe Vremya, today, asserts
that the Russ was in error in declar
ing that the report of the BOuligin
commission Goes not formally outline
the form and funot tons of the pro-
posed assembly, and the Novoc Nreriya
gives the principal points of what it
claims is the new project. In brief it

Her Proposal Regarding

Tension Over Matter in French Cabinet Said
TO Be Very Marked.

Pee. Morocco. Friday, June mo
doubt is entertained i'll diplomatic cir
clcs that the proposal in behalf Of Mo-
rocco To submit the French proposals
to Il conference OF the powers SiSnato-
ry of the Madrid convention will be
c;itegorcally declined by the British,
French, Spanish ard Russian govern
lncnts. Uncertainty prevails regarding
the attitude of the other powers. 1t is
thought in some quarters that Ger
fnany may utilize the Moorish prOpoS-
ais as Il DrctcXt TO enter into direct ne
gOti.itions with France, in which case
the Moroccan question may possibly be
settled in Paris or Berlin.
The fact that the Moorish decision
was launched on the evening Of he ar
rival here of Gerard A. LoWther the
British minister, is much commented
lircn ana is regarded as being a dis
tinct mark Of discOurtesy to Great
Eritlin.

Very many of the delegates are de-

to proceed with the congress in which
