SpllntereQ WOOD.
When the dust had cleared away
slightly the sergeant saw the mangled
body of the porter, a policeman and
the three revolutionists on the ground
in front of the door.
The landau, which had been stopped
directly in front of the entrance, was
lying on the driveway, mass of
twisted and shattered wood and iron.
About ten yards from the door was
the driver, who, it is thought, was also
a revolutionist and who had been
killed on the spot. The horses were
were wounded, but only in their hind
legs, showing that they were partly
protected from the force of the ex
plosion by the wall of the villa.
At the moment of the explosion
large reception-room at the left of the
anteroom was filled with a great con-
course of officials and visitors, as to-
day was the premier's reception day.
NJ Stolypin himself received his
guests. After the explosion of the
bomb few moments of stupefaction
followed among the uninjured surviv-
or and persons in the neighborhood,

wore the uniform of an officer of

of functionaries of the ministry of the
interior, and who were OstentatiOusly
laughing and chatting as they ap-
preached the house, descended from
the carriage, one of them carrying an
article about foot high, resembling
a glded vase.
They ascended the steps, passing
directly in front of the policemen at
the door, and had scarcely disap-
peared inside the house when a
thunderous explosion was heard. The
police sergeant, who had started to
walk toward the landau, thinks that
the revolutionist carrying the bomb
must have dropped it, accidently or
Intentionally, in the little anteroom of
the porter's lodge, just inside the en-
trance.
The explosion, which was louder
than the report of a cannon, tore out
a large section of the front wall of
the villa, demolishing the partition
walls inside and brought the upper
story down in clouds of mortar and

The greatest complaint is that
Roosevelt has acted too suddenly and
without taking his Cousin John" into
consultation.
The strenuous tactics of the Ameri-
can president in knocking out, with
one punch, the backbone of the Ian
guage is too much for conservative
Englishmen. They point out that
present forms are the result of a slow
evolution.
Some of the newspapers handle the
subject humorously and poke fun at
the president in unveiled Language
The papers that take the matter seri-
ously express little sympathy with
what they term Andrew Carnegie
jargon."
The Chronicle has started a sym
postum to learn the sentiment of
scholars in all English speaking COM
munities, including that of the colo
nies, toward simplified spelling.
If the Symposium shows that a ma
jority favor phonetic spelling an An
glo-American congress to revise Eng
lish orthography will probably be SER
iously advocated.

that the crowd of visitors from other

ception to Mr.. Bryan on August 80,

including number of soldiers from
a grenadier regiment, rushed to the
spot and commenced to carry away
the dead and wounded from the villa,
which had now caught fire as re-
suit of the explosion of the bomb.
The exact number Of killed and
wounded is not known as this dis
patch is forwarded, owing to the
frightfully mutilated state of many of
the corpses and the fact that some OF
the Wounded were carried to near by
residences and have not yet been ac-
counted for ....
It is believed, however, that twenty
five persons were killed, and teWenty-
four wounded.

A BOMB FOR STOLYPIN
Premier Has Narrow Escape in Attack
Of Assassins During Offica!
Reception.

"A ulSpdlCu from 81. TGtSIoUulS
dated August 25, follows:
Terrorists today made an attempt
to assassinate Premier Stolypin by
throwing a bomb into his summer
villa near this city while reception
was being held. :.
The premier escaped injury, but
fifty or more of his guests were
killed or wounded by the explosion.
The daughter of M. Stoiypin is said
to have had both her legs broken and
the premier's 3-year-old son was
severely injured.
Among those killed were General
Zameatin, the premiers personal
secretary, who, during the war with
Japan, was chief of communications,
and Colonel Stein, who was chief of
police at the Tauride Palace, where
the lower house of parliment held
Its sessions
Three of the revolutionists, two of
whom gained entrance to the villa,
lost their lives, while a forth. who
remained outside, was seriously
wounded.
The four terrorists arrived at M
Stolypin's summer residence on APP
tekarsky Island at 1920 p. M, in
coach Two of them were dressed in
the uniform of gendarmes, the third
was attired as driver and was on
the box of the coach, and the fourth
man was in private clothes.
Two of them entered the villa
under the pretext of making an i'm
portant report to the premier. The
pair, or at least one of them, seem
to have obtained admission to the
room occupied by the premier's
secretaries, but they were not able
to enter the premier's private office
whereupon one of the men hurled a
bomb at the wall separating the
secretaries room from the minister's
private office, resulting in the revolu-
tionists being blown to pieces and the
house being almost completely
wrecked
Flames Immediately broke out
among the wreckage, but the fire was
soon extinguished by the firemen
who were hastily summoned.
Soldiers who arrived on the scene
Immediately after the explosion found
a horrible scene. Many mutilated
corpses and large number of
wounded and larcerated persons were
lying around the spot where the bomb
expoded.
The correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press later visited the scene of
the explosion and obtained from one
of the premier's secretaries, from a
sergeant of police and from some of
the survivors the following account
of the event:
The police sergeant, who was stand
ing at a corner of the house about
twenty yards of the entrance, noticedd
a landau, drawn by a good pair of
horses, roll up the carriage way and
stop in front of the door. The occu-
pants of the carriage. two Of whom

TEST TO BE MADE
 ON DEAD BODIES
PATRICk'S PLEA IS FINALLY TAKEN UP BY DISTRICT ATToR.
 NEVIS OFFICE AND INTEREST, ING EXPERIMENT TO BE MADE.

New York, March 29.-Four years after
 the date on which he was convicted of
 the murder of William Marsh Rice, the
 Texas multi-millionaire, Albert T. Pat
 rlck's plea that an actual test be made
 to prove or disprove his contention that
 embalming fluid and not ehloroform w3'
 the cause of the condition of Rice's bo
 was granted today. It was the office
 District Attorney Jerome and not t,l.
 defense of Patrick however which has
 undertaken the investigation.
 Several times during the years in which
 Patrick has fought his case with legal
 moves directed from the death chamber
 in the Sing Sing prison the convicted
 man has begged of condemned prisoners to allow his counsel to experiment on their bodies after death, in order to disprove that Rice died from the application of , chloroform as Valet Jones testified and to prove Patrick's allegation that Rice
 died of general debility. It was Patrick s contention that the embalming fluid ad- mnistered after Rice's death produced
 and would produce in another case Y dtions such as physicians who te fled in the case, ascrlbed to chlorofc poisoning.
 It was announced from District Atto ney Jeromes office today that the exr iments to test Patrick's theory have be begun under the direction of that
 flee. The two persons whose bodies to be used in either aid in giving rick his liberty or defeating his effo to secure new trial are patients died in the Metropolitan hospital a f days ago and the disposition of wh, bodies was under the control of Dr. Lou Schultz of the charities department the city. who assigned them to that us They were Luigi Cerabotti, aged 56 years, and Rachael Williams, a colored woman, who was 70 years of age at her death.
 One was older and the other younger
 than Rice. Their bodies vii be embalmed
 with the same sort of fluid which W.
 used in Ree's case. After a suitable time has elapsed autopses will be performed.
