REBELS MAKE
A RICH HAUL
Band Attacks Cars
Treasury Officials With Bombs
and Guns Got SI93 600.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 29.-The
most daring robbery plot in the an
nails Of the st. Petersburg police was
executed when a band of fifteen rev
o~lutionists, armed with bombs and re-
volvers, attacked a cashier of the Gus
tom house who was proceeding in a
carriage from his post at a subtreas-
ury with a sum v~ariously given as
$4,000 and $350,000.
They wrecked the vehicle with a
bomb, but were driven off by two
gendarmes forming the cashiers eJ-
cort. who made a courageous defense
of he treasure with their rifles.
When the bomb exploded the cash
Ter. his assistant and two custom
house guards jumped out of the car
rage and fed in a panic, abandoning
the money. But the gendarmes,
though wounded by the explosion. un-
slung their rifles and opened fire on
the reyolutionists.
They were soon joined by ONE pass
ing soldiers and several policemen,
and the reyolutionIsts. who were mere
youths, fed before their growing num-
bers. A running fight ensued, lasting
fifteen minutes and extending for ev-
eral blocks from the scene of the at
tack. The revolutionists, who threw
two more bombs in their flight, lost
two men killed and had five of their
number captured. The firing of the
rifles and revolvers and the explosions
of the bombs were audible throughout
the business district and caused great
excitement.
After the explosion about 100000 in
paper currency was recovered from
the wreck of the cashiers carriage.
When the gendarmes abandoned the
carriage to pursue the robbers a wo,
man ran hastily from the house from
which the revolutionists issued, seized
a large package of money and escaped
in the confusion. The panic stricken
cashier bewailed the loss of $4,000
The scene of the attack was care
fully chosen in a narrow street bor-
dering on the Ekaterinsk canal and
overhung by a house from one of
whose windows the bombs were
thrown as the attack was started.

society for more than a year, is said
to be the last straw which broke the
patience of the wife and caused her to
stand so resolutely against a reconcilia-
ton that even King Edward, who has
labored long to effect a compromise,
said the duchess was Incredibly OBJ
~stinate."
The duke is now at Blenheim, and
the duchess remains in close seclusion
at Sunderland House. Her father, w.
X. Tanderbift, was with her until
three days ago, when he left London
either for Paris or for New York.
1t is stated that the duchess will have
charge of her two sons, Lord Blandford
and Lord Ivor Spencer Churchill, until
they are old enough to go to school,
after which they will divide their time
with both parents.
King Edward, who is verse to social
volcanoes went personally to the
duchess and tried to effect a %reconcilia-
ton. The duchess remained obdurate,
however, and would not consent to any
arrangement that might ever pave the
way to a reconciliation.
The separation has caused the great
est society sensation in many years.
How deeply Mayfair is affected is in
Dictated by the fact that the king took
the matter i'll hand in order to bring
about evenlan apparent reconciliation.
That the couple have not been happy
in tlieif domestic relations has been an
open secret for some time. 1t has been
said of the duke that he entirely neg
lected his American duchess. She was
Il very miserable woman, it is said, but
made Il brave effort to hide the knowl-
edge of it from the world.
She had Il few chosen friends and
displayed an ambition to be recogniz-
ed in the intellectual smart set by cul-
tivating literary society.
