Deep SHADOW HANGS over RUSSIA
People AWstfuck Over Sergius' Tragic Death
Royal Family Keeps Close Inside Palaces
Death In the Air and No One Knows Where the Next
Blow May Fall *o "

St, Petersburg, Feb. 18-An oppres-
sion like the shadow of doom seems to
be hanging over the Russian capital.
Bells are tolling and people in the
streets are awestruck at the assassina-
ton Of Grand Duke Sergius. Everyone
seems to shrink before the contemplation
of what may happen next. The tragedy
struck deep in the heart of the per-
picked and tried emperor, and many
who were previously unsparing in criti-
cism have only expressions of sympathy
for his unhappy lot. The bitter cup,
which during the last year has been
pressed again and again to his lips, is
once more filled to the brim and in a
manifesto just issued, in most pathetic
words, he irnplores his subjects to pray
for the repose of the soul of his muir
dered uncle. Death is in the air and no
one knows where the next blow may
fall, although precautions have been
doubled in every direction for the pro-
lection of the lives of members of the
imperial family, and ministers and Sc
cret police are seeking out and arresting
those known to be associated with the
fighting organization. The authorities
realize their impotency to ward off the
swift work Of terrorism, murder in the

DEPRESSING EFS-@ OIL TRADE

LOT DVltne6o. Sss$ 5s5S 4 "a
~ New York, Feb. 18.-Bradstreet'
weekly review Of trade says cold,
stormy weather, the most severe and
widely distributed in some respects Of
the winter, has had q depressing effect
on the trade ct wholesale and retail
centers and has disorganized railroad
transportation In some sections and
thereby interfered with various lines
Of industry, such as coal mining, coke
and iron manufacturing and shipping,
heretofore active. Relatively the
worst effects on opening spring trade
are noted in the Northwest and West,
but the Southwest and South have suf-
fered severely and the East and North
east have felt the effect in only q
sltghter degree. The result is q cur
tailment In the activities Of statesmen
over q wide area, which, taken in con-
junction with the occurrence Of q
holiday In many states, has reduced
the weeks tr9de to very small proper
lions. Despite this drawback, how
ever. some favorable features come to
light upon examination. The iron and
steel situation is, If anything, rather
stronger. Railway earnings for Jan
uary, though rejecting storm and
grain rate troubles, show gain of s
per cent, this, however, comparing
with q decrease Of 3.8 per cent In the
same month year ago. An encour-
aging feature In the dry goods trade
ct the East Is the increased industry
for cotton goods for export to China
and other countries.

In the supreme court in Brooklyn,
handed down a decision in the case OF
James l.. Mock, formerly secretary of
Berkeley council 1854, Royal Arcanum
of Brooklyn, and others against the
supreme council of the order, denying
the right of the supreme council TO

nor said:
The amendments complained of in
the assessments are void Tor the rea-
son that they cannot change the con
tracts of the members of the organiza-
ton
The hearing in this action took two
days and among the witnesses were
William o. Robson, secretary OF the
supreme council. Mr.. Robson said
that the Royal Arcanum had now in
force about 1915, 0Ov,0 900 in insurance
certificates and that under the law of
Massachusetts the order had the right
to increase the assessment or raise the
rates under proper procedure.

AT the southern extremity OF which is
Port Arthur and Dalny. This territory

lease from China. China comedies TO
Japan the control OF the railway on
the peninsula northward as far as
Changchin. This is n OF the spurs
which connects with The Russian 81.
berian railway system and til pollt
named probably viii mark the d-yt
sion between Russian aud Japanese
control.
Most important OF all OF the pro.
visions OF the treaty is an article
whereby China agrees to open to the
worlds and trade sixteen
principal ports and cities in Manchu
ria, including Hardin, the modern Rus
sian capital of the province and its
most important railroad center, thus
marking, in the opinion of the state
department officials, the final success
of the long struggle by the United
States for the open door.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-The twenty-one

charges of conspiracy in restraint OF
trade in the meat business will go to
trial Jan. 8, 1906, on their ten special

ers, three real estate dealers. two car
penters, one stock raiser and one
printer.
The verdict of this jury will decide
only whether the hackers are to be

case or go free altogether ON their
claim that they are entitled to inn
munity from prosecution if, as they
assert, they furnished evidence against
themselves during the Garfield investi-
cation and which evidence, it is de-
clared by the defendants, was used
against them to bring the indictments.

HIS DESTINATION UNKNOWN.
President of Santo Domingo Quits the
Capital City.

San Domingo, Dec. 26.-Following
the announcement that the president
OF the republic, General Carlos f. Mo-
rales, had left the capital for an I'M
known destination troops were sent in
pursuit OF the chief magistrate. What
took place after that cannot be def.
nitely determined, but 1t is known that
a fight took place about ten miles from
here and 1t is supposed that General
Pimentel, the rebel commander, was
attacked by government troops.
The whereabouts OF the fugitive
president is not known. 1t is generally
supposed that he e~ndeavored Il gain
the coast and embark on board a sloop
with the object of reaching Puerto
Plata, on the north coast of Santo Do
mingo, and there join Governor Perez,
who has been dismissed by the gov
eminent from the post of governor OF
Puerto Plata but who refuses to sur
render his office. On the other hand
there are those who believe that the
president is endeavoring to cross San.
to Domingo by land and reach Monte
Cristi, on the north coast and west OF
Puerto Plata, from which port it is not
far distant.

INSANITY THE DEFENSE.
Plea to Be Made il Brennan Case In
Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, Dec. 27.-That she was
suffering from a type of insanity at.
tendant upon maternity at the time OF
the killing of her s~tepchildren will be
the chief defense OF Mrs. Stella Bren-
nan, now on trial in Minneapolis for
murder.
The defense will first take the
ground that the shooting in the Bren-
nan home on the night of Nov. 4 was
not done by Mrs. Brennan, and was
done by some mysterious man who
had been hanging around the place for
some days, but as a further precaution
it will be ~contended that if it was Mrs.
Brennan who killed the three little
ones, she was insane at the time and
not iii responsible mental condition.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 26.-The Sloyoe

students of Kieff, Kharkoff and Odes
sa, among whom are many Jews. The
military hold the center of MOSCOW
and apparently are awaiting reinforce
ments which are reported TO be on the
way to Moscow from all directions,
some of the troops marching overland.
-Four regiments OF dragons from War
saw have started by rail for Moscow,
but have not yet arrived there. The
government is finding great difficulty
in dispatching a sufficient force to the
disturbed city, it being dangerous to
withdraw the troops from other places,
o of the available men having al
ready been sent to cope with the revolt
In the Baltic provinces.
The revolutionists hold the outskirts
Of Moscow. A thousand men are work
ing night and day at the barbados,
some OF which are described as mar
wells of strength. Trenches have been
dug and wire entanglements have been
erected in front of the ~defenses, which
extend for blocks and are impene-
trable even against artillery.
