INTERNAL MACHINE FOR POLICE CAPTAIN
THIRD SENT THROUGH NEW
 FORK MAILS WITHIN WEEK.

Received by Miles O'ReilIy, n Precinct
 Captain--Machine Contained in Cigar
 Box and Held Enough Gun Cotton to / XIII Man--NoveI Scheme to Cause
 Explosion of Machine When Box
 should be Opened.
 New York. Aug, 21.-Gun cotton enough to kill a man, arranged in an internal machine, and disguised as a, gift cigar box, was received to-day by Precinct Police Captain Miles o'Reilly. This is the third deadly explosive in- strument of similar construction sent through New York mails in the last four days, the other two being received last Friday by Jacob H. Schiff, the banker, and M. Guggenhelm's Sons.
 Captain o'ReilIy received cigar box by mail to-day, which in weight and every other detail misled him to taking it for a genuine present. Unusually heavy, and tenacious nails fastening down the cover caused the first suspi- cions. When the box had been careful ly opened at the ends, the cover was found to have matches glued to its ir- her surface in such manner that they would be ignited on emery paper, by the effort necessary to raise the lid.
 The police quickly secured proofs that the flare of merely one out of the half dozen matches would have been the death of Captain O'Reilly.
 A detective carried tiny portion of the gun cotton and powder, which nearly filled the box, into the cellar, and there touched match to it. The resulting explosion was heard on the upper floors of the police station.

RUSSIAN POLICE RAID MEETING
Descend on Session of Learned Refornl-
 CTS and Arrest Them.

Descend on Session of Learned RefOrm-
 CTS and Arrest Them.
 St. Petersburg, Aug. 21.-The police have at last applied check to the &C., tivity of the Central Bureau of the League of Confederation of Profession al Reform Organizations, by descend ing to-day on meeting of the central committee and arresting ten of the leaders present. In this committee are university lecturers, doctors, engineers, lawyers, and other professional men. The organizations, of which the league is made up, are composed of the most advanced reformers, and since it's or ganiZation the central bureau has pass ed through radicalism to the verge of revolution. Many of it's later procla- nations and appeals have been couclp- ed in terms almost as seditious as those of the socialist. It is probable that the government feared the league was about to inaugurate campaign against the oduma.
 Paul M. Milukoff, at whose home, near St. Petersburg, the arrests were made and who was among those arrest ed, formerly was a professor in the University of St. Petersburg. He had just returned from a lecture trip down the Volga with the Literateur Tahn, one of the socialist leaders, and an article from his pen, violently assailing the douma project, had appeared in the latest number of the weekly Pravo.
 Milukoff was one of those arrested on January 23 last along with Gorky, An nenSky and Hessen,

RESULT IN SUSPENSE.
M. Witte Had Not Heard From His .., Emperor Up. to Last Night.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 21.-The re- suit of President Roosevelt's efforts to save the peace conference from failure remains in suspense. No direct reply to the presidents proposition, communi- cated by M. Witte yesterday has come from Emperor Nicholas but other ad- vices received from St. Petersburg indicate that the emperor and his coun- sellors are unshaken in their determin- ation neither to cede territory nor pay war tribute. What the president is do- ing on the Japanese side remains as deep mystery as ever. Little light is shed upon the visits of Baron Kaneko to Oyster Bay. The Japanese do not even admit that he is their medium of communication with the president. They go no further than to reiterate that MT. Roosevelt understands their position, and that they have the fullest confidence in him. They show not the slightest indication that they have in any wise changed their position, or are prepared to yield more, than they were last Friday, when the plenipotentiarie adjourned until tomorrow.
