and members Of the Grand Dukes
suite had assembled.
The assassin was thrown to the
ground and stunned by the force of
the explosion, but he quickly arose
and ran toward the gate, attempt
ing to escape. His haste and the
blood streaming from his&ace where
he had been wounded by fragments
of the bomb, attracted the attention
of a sergeant of police, who seized
him before he could draw his re-
volver.
The man did not deny his crime,
but smiled and glorifed in its sue
cess. He expressed his satisfaction
that he had been able to kill the
Grand Duke without invoking the
latter's innocent wife. He avowed
his membership in the social revolu-
tionary organization, but refused to
give his name, and at the Jail his
papers were found to be forged. He
was armed with an automatic maya
azine pistol, of the same make as
the weapon employed by Hohenthal,
the assassin of Socialon Soininen, the
ProcuratOr General of Finland, at
Helsingsfors on Feb. 6. His in
juries are not serious.
The Grand Dukes ccachman, who
was badly injured, was still alive at
last accounts, it is thought will die

ASSASSIN is ARRESTED.
Marked BY the Terrorists
After Suppression of
Demonstration.

Moscow, Feb. 2O.-Within the
walls Of the far-famed Kremlin
Palace, and almost underneath the
historical tower from which Ivan the
Terrible watched the heads of his
enemies falling beneath the axe in
the famous red square, and within
a stones throw of the great bell of
Moscow, Grand Duke Sergius, uncle
and brother-in-law of Emperor
Nicholas, and the chief of the reac-
tionaries, met a terrible death short
ly before 3 o'clock Friday.
The deed was committed by a
single terrorist. who threw beneath
the carriage of the Grand Duke a
bomb charged with the same high
power explosive which wrought
Minister Won Plehve's death. The
missile was packed with nails and
fragments of iron, and it's explosion
tore Che imperial victims body to
CHASTITY fragments which strewed the
snow for yards around.
Every window in the great, lofty
facade of the Palace of Justice was
shattered, and bits of iron were i'm
bedded deeply in the walls of the
arsenal, ahundred yards away.
The assassin belongs to the noted
fighting group" of the socialist
revolutionary party, which has re-
moved other prominent officials, and
long since passed sentence of death
upon Grand Duke Sergius.
In minute the carriage was in
front of the Court of Justice, where
the walls of the triangle approach,
forming a narrow entrance to the
Nikolsky gate. There a man clad in
workman's attire stepped forward
from the sidewalk and threw bomb
which he had concealed beneath his
coat. A terrific explosion followed
and hail of iron pelted the grim
stone walls IF the arsenal and
Courts of Justice. A thick cloud of
smoke, snow and debris arose. When
it had cleared away a CHASTITY sight
was presented. On the snow lay
fragments of the body Of the Grand
Duke, mingled with the wreck Of
the carriage. The Grand Dukes
head had been torn from his body
and reduced to a shapeless pulp and
the trunk and limbs were frightfully
mangled. A finger, bearing a rich
seal ring, was found lying several
yards away. The crimson tint and
sickening smell of blood were every
where. The coachman lay moaning
with pain beside a deep hole in the
pavement. The horses, dragging
the front wheels of the carriage, had
dashed off, maddened with pain, to
sink dying before they reached the
gate.
The Sound Of the explosion was
heard Throughout the city and even
beyond the river. A crowd began
Ia assemble and handled grim eV-
licences of the tragedy, while they
discussed the affairs in aWe-struck
voices. Police officials rapidly
gathered, but before anything could
be done toward collecting the scat
tered fragments of the body, Grand
Duchess Elizabeth drove up in an
open carriage. She had dropped
her work at the headquarters of the
Red Cross and sped to the scene OF
the crime without waiting to don
her outer wraps.
She broke down entirely at the
sight, and dropped to her knees,
sobbing bitterly. After a few min
utes she was led away. Then a
stretcher was brought, and, covered
with a plain soldiers cloak, the re-
mains of Sergius were carried to the
Choudeff Cloister, where officials

RACE SUICIDE IN PITTsBURG.
City Physician Says Data Show That Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Theories Are Right.

Pittsburg Sept "a table Of births and deaths
In Pittsburg in the last fourteen years prepared
by DR. B A Booth. city physician, shows q start
ling decrease in the number of births. notW1th-
standing large increase in population.
In 1881 there were 1857 births, the rate per thou
sand being 861 In the same year there 5, S32
deaths the rate being 23.61 The table shows a
decrease in the birth rate in fourteen years 10
a74 more than per cent The death rate is de-
creased from 23.01 to 1870
The figures for the first three months Of this year
are surprising In 1891 The excess of births over
deaths was .235. This year the excess has been
wiped out and the conditions reversed, there being
q decrease of twenty-three births over the death
rate.
In commenting upon the report Dr. Booth sald
The figures show that race suicide is fact and
I think more so in Pittsburg than any OF the
larger cities of the country. There is also another
feature. At the present advanced age the pAysl,
clans save 80 per cent more babies than they did
ter years age. The advance made in SCIENCE has
reduced the loss of 20 the minimum Taking
this into consideration. together with the increase
in population and such decided decrease In the
birth rate it shows that something is radically
wrong II again proves that President Roosevelt

BRITT MEETS DEFEAT.
Nelson Proves His Master Il fter
Eighteen Rounds at COImd.

San Francisco Sept s.-In a fight that had many
novel features. Battling Nelson, of Chicago,
knocked out James Edward Britt. Of San Fran
cisco. at Colrna this afternoon. The end came in
the eighteenth round, and fairly won victory.
The surroundings the crowd the bitterness of the
men toward each other, the uncertainty as 70
whether there would be a fight at all up 10 within
a quarter of an hour before the fight actually be
gan together with the Cleverness and the en-
durance displayed by the two boxers, made the
tight one of more than usual interest
1t was the success of a strong, enduring nghte1
against a clever cool boxer. From the first of the
hght until Graney. the referee, finished the count
OF ten seconds. Nelson forced the lighting Al
though suffering many brusing blows on the face
and BODY and being at times tired, Nelson never
gave ground. He came back after every attack
BY Britt, always ready TO exchange blows. FOR
the rushing forcing, persistent tactics OF Nelson
britt could find effective counter. The Cai
fornian tried every blow known TO him to stop his
tfreless opponent In every way Britt failed, al
though he punished Nelson severely knocking
him down once and staggering him several times.
Only once, in the third round, did It appear TO
those close enough TO judge the tide OF battle that
Britt might win. In this round Britt made Nelson
falter but It only for d moment, and he came
back strong in the next round
