eral Trepoff said that one of the great
causes of dissatisfaction would soon be
removed as work on the law regulating
the right of assembly was proceeding
and law would speedily be issuable
under which the people would be able
to meet and discuss the candidates,
their policies and other lawful objects.
The police authorities were not opposed
to such meetings and would not inter-
fere except when the proceedings take
serious turn.
1.-The trouble with the liberals here
in ST Petersburg" the general re-
marked, ''is that they are not accustom-
ed to obeying the law and have to
learn that the laws are meant to be
obeyed. If the zemstvoists want to
meet again in Moscow, they have only
to ask permission. stating their object
and it will be freely granted
Regarding the demand for freedom
of the press, General Trepoff intimated
that the restrictions were more imagin-
airy than real. He pointed out the
liberty with which the papers are now
discussing all sorts of subjects, in
many cases abusing the privileges
granted them.
When questioned on the subject of
the rumors of impending changes in
the ministry of the interior, the gen
eral denied the current report that
General Count Alexis Ignatieff, head
of religious toleration committee,
would be appointed minister. He said
NJ. Boulfgan had not resigned and that
the press was busying itself far more
than the government with this matter.
AS the correspondent rose to leave
General Trepoff again reverted to the
subject of peace, saying in conclusion:
~ our president has done great work
magnificent work. He should be
thoroughly happy and satisfied"

Four More Printing Houses in Chicago
Have Become Involved.

printers against members of the Chi
cago Typothetae was practically made
complete today Officials of the Typo
graphical union declared that the only

IN SECOND DIVISION.
Colonel HOisingtOn Thinks Kansans
Only Fair Rifle Shots.

Colonel Hoisington, of the Second
regiment of the Kansas National
Guard, passed through Topeka today
on his way home from Sea Girt, N. J.,
where he has been in charge of the
Kansas team of crack shots in the
national competition.
General Hughes met Colonel Hois-
ington at the train. and talked over
the work of the team with him. The
Kansas officers think that Kansas will
land somewhere in the second divi-
sion. They think there is not much
show of getting far up toward the top.
The shooting conditions are very diff
ferent from what they are in Kansas,
and good work is very difficult.
Colonel Hoisington was obliged to
return home before the completion of
the shoot because of important pri-
Vate business

BOUzAIN IS RELEASED.
Moroccan Sultan Decides Not to Risk
French Invasion.

Tangier, Aug. 31.-A special courier
who has arrived here from F'ez an
nounces that the French Algerian mer-
chant, Bouzain. has been set at liberty
According to later advices, Bouzain is
i'll as the result of bad treatment receiv-
ed while in prison.
The Imprisonment of Bouzain was the
occasion of the ultimatum from France
to the Sultan of Morocco about month
ago to the effect that IL the merchant
was not released French troops would
invade Morocco and 1fberate him. It
was believed, and perhaps hoped, by
France that the sultan, relying on the
backing of Germany, would refuse to
release BouZain.

that all find seats and that none are
standing in the court room.
While number of witnesses nave
been examined on the part of the state,
and seemingly good progress has been
made, still the work of examining the
witnesses is not progressing as rapid
ly as at the New Ulm trial, so one of
the attorneys in the case states He
says the defense is making a more care
full and complete cross examination of
the witnesses than it did at the first
trial.
The evidence introduced yesterday
en- by the same witnesses at the New
Ulm trial. Only one change was notice
able, and that was the fact that the
state has dropped one of what was sup
posed to be its strongest points at the
first trial. That was in regard to DR..
Koch being seen to have a package I'M
der his arm, done up in MANILA wrap
ping paper, and supposed to be the ham
mer. At the first trial of the case
George Schmidt testified that at about
nine o'clock he saw Koch on Minnesota
street in the vicinity of DIR. Gebhard's
office, with the package under his arm.
Yesterday, when Schmidt was examined
the state did not bring that point out,
and upon cross examination Mr.
Schmidt at first said that he could not
remember, and would only testify with
any degree of positiveness when con-
fronted by the evidence that he gave
at the first trial.
The reason why the state abandoned
this feature, which is important if true
is because the boy that saw the dentist
next said that he had no package. This
was Alfred Heinz.

there l went home.
A fifteen minutes recess was taken.
Alfred Haegene, boy, was next call
ed. He testified that DR.. Koch asked
him if Stamm was inside the barber
SHOP.
1t is expected that Judge Weber,
who presided over the first trial of
Koch, will be witness at this inquiry.
The Judge will go on the stand for the
state. His testimony will be in the
nature of impeaching that of Asa p.
Brooks, should the latter be called.

whether Judge Cray will pursue the
same course as Judge Webber did re-

that Judge Weber ordered Brooks to
