Lieutenants Fitch and -Noyes, of the
cadet battalion, had been reduced to
the ranks for participation in the un
fortunate affair by which Branch lost
his life. The regulations provide for
the immediate investigation of the
matter by a court of inquiry, which,
it is stated, at the department will
undoubtedly recommend the trial by
court martial, not only of the survivor
of the prize fight, but of the time

officers, and perhaps, of the cadet
officers who permitted the men to
withdraw from the supper line last
Sunday evening to engage in the fatal

defeat of Governor Herrick. but it is
understood that the reports from the
county chairmen showed that the
Democrats had achieved a sweeping
triumph.
IN the city of Cleveland Pattison's
pluralit,r was 10000, while the plu-
rality for Tom Johnson. candidate for
mayor, was 1000. Except the pro-
bate judge the entire Democratic city

Anirms the Lower
Tribunal.
(By the Associated Press. }

the verdict of the lower court in the
case of the Rawlings, men convicted
of the murder of the two Carter chill
dren, near here. j. c.. Rawlings, the
father. and two of his sons, Milton
and Jesse, must go to the gallows,
while another son, Leonard, must
serve life sentence in the peniten-
tiary.
The Supreme Court, after passing
upon and dispOsng of all the assign
ments OF error, declared the evidence
in each of these cases justified the
verdicts rendered, but that the evil
dcnce in the case of Turner, the ne
gro who was convicted of being al
accessory before the fact. did not
justify the verdict in his case, and
held that he should have been granted
a new trial.

ceived the news of the courts finding.
Turner will be tried again at the regu-
lar term of court next week.

where the students and revolutionists
took refuge from the mob were
burned and those who tried to fly
were killed in the streets.
In Moscow the Social revolution
lists and the Black Hundred and the
Cossacks and police fought bloody
battles.
The descent of the butchers of Mos
COW with their knives and axes upon
the students, was one of the most
horrible chapters but not as pitiful
however, as the attack of the Black
Hundred on a procession of school
children carrying red flags. When the
children sought to escape, a Gordon
of police barred the way and the
youthful martyrs were beaten into in
sensibility and in some cases actually
torn to pieces.
In the Alexander Garden at Mos
COW, Cossacks lay in ambush in the
shrubbery and set upon their victims
with whips. Many were beaten to
death and others were hardly able to
crawl away
The reports from the Caucasus show
there is no immediate prospect of sup
pressing the present state of anarchy.
Battles between Tartars and Armen-
ians continue and the obstruction of
the railroads and lack of troops make
it impossible for the authorities to
cope with the situation.

conditions before giving him open
support. The members insist primar-
lily on the removal of the wolves"
of the old regime as they term the
governors and police officials of many
provinces and cities who are not in

the police and troops under their con-
troll to make attacks upon the intel
lectuals" and Jews which have filled
the country with tales of horror and
bloodshed for the last ten days. This

sonaily to meet as he fully realizes
that the obnoxious officials are OBJ
stacies in his own path. With the
Counts promise to support a demand
for a constituent assembly when the
national assembly meets in January

position is manifested on the part of
certain leaders to hold up Count
Whites hands and work with him in
