gated the m~aSsacres at Odessa finds
no specific proof that they We're or
ganiZed by the authorities. Yet, it

provocative act and the report recon-
mends the dismissal of four capt@ins
of police, seven lieutenants, twelve
sergeants and nineteen patrolmen.
The report did not pass upon the
guilt of M. Meidhart, the project Of
nolice IF Odessa, who already has
been relieved.

archy, seventeen districts through

Of 1900 miles, have been placed

NULL TRY To OBsTRUCT.

St Petersburg, Jan. 20-The role of the constitutional democratic party in the national assembly according to a resolution adopted at the convention which opened here January IS, will be to obstruct all ordinary legislation. However, in case the attempt at the first session to convert the assembly into full fiedged constituent body is unsuccessful the members of the con- stitutional democratic party will en- deavor to secure the passage of all election law providing for general. d. rest and equal suffrage and statutes guaranteeing liberty of speech; as sembly, press and religion, and meas urcs for the pacification of the coun- try.
 A resolution providing for the par ticipation of the constitutional demo- cratic party in the elections to the national assembly was passed w.ih only dissenting votes. thus nullifying the chances of split which the ex- tremists hoped to effect on this ques- tion. At the suggestion of NJ. Rodi- chef the convention declined to bind the party's representatives in the na- tional assembly to any specific meas ures regariing the solution of the agrarian question.

SOCIALISTS ACTIVE
Meetings in Many Places to Pro test Against Russian Elec-
 ton Laws.

Berlin, Jan 20.-The socialists meetings to protest against the Prus- sian election law are giving the au- thorities greater concern owing to the excesses at Hamburg. Ninety-three meetings have been called in BerEss and it's suburbs and will be addressed by Herr Rebel. the socialist leade. and other members of the reichsta.' It is said that the speakers have been instructed by the socialist executive committee to use the sharpest lan- guage possible in order to cause the police to disband the meetings, this being regarded as excellent propa- ganda material for rhe socialists. The military and police are making exten- siye preparations for tomorrow when the Russian Red Sunday" of January 9 last will be celebrated
 The police president has issued a proclamation which to-day is placard- ed everywhere warning the people against assembling out of idle curios- fly about the places where meetings are to be held, since any riotous de monstrations will be suppressed with the extreme measures admissible un. der the laws" and under the circum' stancse innocent persons might suffer harm to life and health"

WAS THRILLING Rescue of Shipwrecked
 Seamen CRIPPLED 20 DAYS Before Help Arrived the Kipling Was Finally Discovered and
 Aid Rendered to
 the Grew.

New York. Jan 20.-An account Of a thrilling rescue of seven seamen from the shipwrecked schooner Kipling was brought here to-day by the steamer Maine from London. The steamer found the Kipling on January II near the British coast sinking from the eff fects of the pounding of the huge waves which were still washing ovel her decks when the Maine sent boat to take off the kipling's crew.
 This boat was manned by an officer and three sailors. It stood alongside the schooner. sometimes rising to the level of the decks and sometimes drop ping far below. them with the roll of the waves. Every man on the Kip ling had safely jumped into this bob ping boat, and the oars had been dipped to row away when the schooner swung around so that her bowsprit was directly over the lifeboat. Simul- taneOusly a sea rose beneath the boat, carrying it up and crushing it against the bowsprit, In the midst of snap. ping oars and flying splinters the seven seamen from the Kipling leaped up to the bowsprit, hrowing their arms about available supports and with their feet trying to kick the lifebOat free from it's perilous position. This they did, but the lifeboat swept clear ofs the schooner leaving them clinging to the bowsprit. In the bottom of the boat one of the rescuers lay uncon- sciOus, having been struck or the head d,,ripp tho collision and tho baat itSoir was so badly damaged that it was ill danger of sinking. It was r0wed back to the Maine while the crew of the Kipling clambered painfully along the bowsprit back to the deck of their yes sel again. The Maine, however, sent second lifeboat to the schooner and this time the shipwrecked men were safely taken aboard the steamer.
 The Kipling had been crippled fol twenty days before sighting the Maine.
 The Kipling. which was bound for America, continued on her way uEtll three days before the Maine was sight ed, when all hope of completing th voyage was abandoned and it becam" a. fight for life, every man going t' the pumps to keep the vessel afioat The Kipling is owned at Harbor Grace, Newfoundland. and was engag. cd in carrying fish to Liverpool. She was commanded by Captain George C. Webber. The six seamen are: Al bert Williams. mate:' John Snelgrove, cook: John Taylor. William Snow, William Hednott and Hoyles Chap. man.

THEDEADMAN'SWIFE
Not at Home When LifeIess Body of Bridgeport's Town Clerk
 Was Found.

Bridgeport. Jan 2O.-Coroner Doten said that the Schrieber inquest would be delayed. but there was no doubt from the observations he had made as to what was the cause of death. What the reasons were for the town clerk to commit suicide were beyond his jurisdiction. Mrs Schrieber, wife of the dead man. has not been at home since the tragedy.
 Despite the fact that Judge Wheeler fin his second decision on the case com pletely exonerated Mir Schrieber from all blame in connection with the al- legged ballot box stuffing. the town clerk had worried sreat deal over the fact that his name was connected with the affair. Judge wheeler's decision cleared Mr Schrieber. but he still be- lieved that many linked his name with the twelfth district case. which made him worry almost continuously. It was intimated after the body of Mir Schrieber was found that his domestic affairs probably were the eaHse of his committing suicide. but this was de- nied today by his friends. While his married life had not been of the hap piest. they say. there was no serious trouble in his family. certainly not enough to cause him to take his life.
 Mr Schrieber was one of the most prominent politicians in this city and his death has cast a gloom over the town. He was 42 years old.
 The common council will appoint a successor t0 Mir Schrieber as town clerk at its next regular meeting. and in the meantime sidney V. lockwood. the assistant town clerk. will have complete charge of the town clerks office
