Ancient and Honorab|es
Very Sharply Criticized
For Evading Jury Duty---Their
Record Raked Over.
Federation Of Labor Says Members Should
Take Share Of Jury Duty.

Boston. Jan 31.-The record. histori-
cal traditions and present purposes of
the Ancient and Honorable Artilleiy y
Company, the oldest military organlZa-
ton in the United States. came in for
severe arraignment at the state
house today at "A hearing on the meas
ure providing that the members of the
organization shall no longer be ex
empt from jury duty in MaSsachu-
setts. The Federation of Labor is Op
',posed to the present law eXempting the
Ancients. and wants it repealed.
Frank X. Foster opened the hearing
for the petitioners, and read Il resOlu-
ton passed at a recent meeting of the
Federation of Labor in which they
represent that the Ancients enjoy eX-
emption from jury duty through rep
reSentatiOnS not founded on fact, and
that their exemption allows an excuse
for men who can afford to do jury duty
to escape it, while the additional bur-
den is placed upon those who can
neither afford to do jury duty nor to
join the ancientS.
join the Anciemts.
William A. Morse, commander of the
Ancients, said the resolution is wrong
in fact. as the company was chartered
in 1858 and has continued in existence
ever since. 1t is composed of about 600
members, about 400 of whom reside in
this commonwealth. OF these many
are over Go, and a large number of
others are doctors and lawyers and cx-
cmpt for that reason. Therefore the
number who would be affected by the
withdrawal of the exemption would be
very small.
T.. Gerry Brown of Rrockton, speak
inf for the petitioners, ridicued the
claim, of the Ancients that they have
had an uninterrupted existence Since
1888.
Mr. Brown contendcd that the
historian of the company had glossed
over the period from 1114 to 1886 in
which he claims that the company was
not ill existence. He also cited author
ity for statement that in 1886 the
governor was escorted by RoXbury
company because there was no mill
company in the city of Boston.
The committee then attempted to de-
terminc whether the governor has ;;u-
thority to call out the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery Company at any
time. and Col. Oakcs maintained that
he had. but Mr.. Brown stoutly denied
it.
The hearing then closed.

For the Present Difficulties
in the Caucasus,
hulenlans and 1artars win Ap-
peal Direct for His Removal.
Gen. efiazautf's Murderer Said 10 Be
StudOli and Socialist Rebel.

Tinis. Caucasia, Jan. 31.-The assas-
sination Of Gen. Griaznoff, who was
killed by the explosion of a bomb
thrown at him Jan. 20 by a man dis
guised az IA painter. has brought to
head the discomfort among the faction
of the military which regards with dis
favor the policy of Count Won Vorent-
on-Dashkon in the war between the
Tartars and Armenians. The two races,
1t Is said, will appeal directly to st.
Petersburg for the removal of the vice.
roy and they are secretly supported by
high officials Of the viceroyalty.
1t is established that the murderer of
Gen. Grianznoff, who has not recovered
consciousness from the terrible beating
ne received from the soldiers VINO ar
rested him. is a student of Imertiria
government of Kutais) named D1oy-
ashvili, a member Of the fighting or
ganization Of the Social Revolutlonlsts
He was selected to carry out the SEN
tence of death imposed on Gen. hrlaz-
nOff In retaliation for the latters ruth
less repression Of the revolutonists OF
Kutais and the policy proclaimed by
Gen. AHkhanoff. who was dispatched
there to "pacify" the province.
Alikhanoff has spared neither life nor
property I'm the war he Is wagins
against the revolutionists. He has re-
opened the railroad to the Black sea
which had long been In the hands OF
the revolutionists and for the first time
in months the entire trans-Caucassian
line is in operation. The whole revolu-
lionary movement in the Caucasus was
an echo Of the movement in Russia
proper. 1t was conducted by working
men of various nationaIities under the
leadership Of Russian Social Democrat
ic azitators and is being gradually
stamped out in Kutais, Mingrelia and
the Black sea littoral. The Armenians
with their powerful revolutionary COM
mittecs who formerly secretly support
ed the movement have now Withdrawn.
The restoration of their church prop
erty and the re-opening of their schools
closed since 1895, have been great VIC
tories for the Armenians and their
leaders profess themselves satisfied
disclaiming any nationaliStic or sepa-
ratist aspirations.
The fears of a renew wal Of the Ar
menian- Tartar butchery following the
assassination of Gen. GriaZnoT happily
did not materialize. Both sides were
ready but the troops were everywhere
in force and no collisions occurred. Two
Armenians, however. were shot during
the capture by the police of one of their
strongholds where arms and munitions
were concealed.
On account of the disturbed condi-
tions in the viceroyalty the extension of
the Zemstvo system to the Caucasus
In conformity with other parts of the
empire has been prepared. In kutais
the captured revolutionists are being
tried by field court martials OH the pat
tern of those adopted In the trials OF
