st. Petersburg.-The Russ and the
Novosti, commenting on the assassi-
nation of Grand Duke Sergius, point
out how impossible is a continuation
of the present conditions. The Russ
says:
From the day of the death of Min
lister of the Interior Won Plehve the
fighting organization of the social rev.
olutionists held it's peace, and the
four months of Prince Sviatopolk- Mir
sky's regime was a period of active
but peaceful propaganda. Now that
blood again has been shed, and al
though foreigners predict all will end
in revolution, the case is not hopeless
Only let representative of the people
be allowed to participate in the gov
eminent and the nation is directed to
the road of peace and our sufferings
blood and terror, but peace and peace
full conditions. In this hope we see
our only escape from the tragic events
that are happening about u.s."
The Novosti says: ''The victims of
the war number tens of thousands. A
hundred high officials are among these
victims, People are losing their lives
in the streets of Russian cities. We
can not live longer under such con-
ditions. The happiness of the people
should not be bought with their blood.
Compromises of the bureaucracy can
not save the situation. Enough of this
blood and terror. The emperor must
honestly and sincerely meet the hopes
of the people half way. The throne
must join hands with the people
against the bureaucracy. This is the
only salvation from the horrors that
threaten to darken the near future"

of General Stoessel or the conduct of
the defense of Port Arthur, beyond
the fact that the Russian fleet was
undermined and had not a sufficient
supply of ammunition when the war
began. Port Arthur, they said would
have fallen the latter part of August

General Stoessel," said Captain Won
Essen, lis a brave soldier, a great
general and true patriot. He held
to the last minute. He had lots of
ammunition, certainly, but | never
heard OF any army which could live
on ammunition. Lack of food was the
main reason for the surrender. There
were not more than 10000 ablebodied
soldiers in the garrison when it was
surrendered"
According to the statements of the
officers, but little food was carried
through the blockade by junks.
The Russian officers will leave for
New York in a few days, from which
place they will report to the Russian
ambassador at Washington.
They speak in the highest terms Of
the treatment accorded them by the

leased by the Japanese after giving
their parole. The captain of the Sc
yastopOl and a number of other prison
ers recently released have reached San
Francisco. Lieutenant Below char
acterizes Stoessel as a coward. "The
world will know Stoessel as he is"
said Below. "He is a coward. Stoes-
sci was buried a great deal of the time

Aouhonell, who, when her husband
was killed, took command of bat
