TERROR|sTSsT|L[AT WORK
Russian Vice Admiral and q Po-

BOMB AND KNIFE EMPLOYED
Three Killed in Fight Following Ex-
plosion of Missile at
Warsaw.

Vice Admiral Kummich commander
of the port, who was very unpopular
with the workmen, was assassinated
at st. Petersburg by workmen whose
May Day demonstration he had at
tempted to stop.
The admiral was killed at the new
admiralty works, government in
stitution where most of the 1000 men
employed reported for duty at five
o'clock in the morning. They want
ed Immediately to march out in a
body and celebrate the Russian May
Day but finally agreed to work till
o'clock in the afternoon. The ad-
miral, however, made a speech to
the men, saying that he could not
agreed to their leaving work at 2
O'Clock and the matter was left
open.
At about $50 a. m, according to
an officer who was at the gate of the
works, the Admiral was emerging
from small shop in the works when
a workman who had been concealed
around the corner of the building
leaped on Kuzmich from behind and
drove a long dagger into his back.
The Admiral fell forward on his
face, which was badly cut by stones,
and died Immediately. The assassin
fed into a large forge, where he was
surrounded by troops and police, but
the search for the murderer was un-
availing, his comrades processing ig-
norance of his identity.
While Police Captain Constaninof
Of Warsaw, was standing in Marszal-
kowska street, with two policemen
and four soldiers a young man threw
a bomb into the group. The eXplos-
ion of the bomb literally tore Captain
Constaninoff to pieces and severely
wounded a policeman and six other
persons.
The assassin tried to escape, and,
firing his revolver, wounded a sol
der. The other soldiers replied with
volley, killing the assassin and two
other persons. The soldiers then at
tackled the people who had gathered
with their bayonets and the butts
of their guns, wounding II persons,
making a total of four killed and 1
wounded.
The terrorists have sought Cap
tain Constantinoff's life since May
Day of last year, when he ordered
the soldiers to fire on a procession
of Socialists, causing the death of
80 persons.

The Steepest Railway.

Last of War Governors.

The Hon. Frederick Holbrook of
Vermont, who recently passed his
ninety-third birthday, is the only one
of the famous "War Governors" now
surviving. He stood with Governors
Curtin of Pennsylvania and Andrew
of Massachusetts as one of the
staunchest supporters of the Lincoln
administration when it most needed
such support as they could give.
Among the beneficent institutions for
which the Nation is indebted to Mr.
Holbrook's initiative were the mill
tary hospital established at Brattle-
boro during the Civil War, where
from 1900 to 1000 soldiers were car
ed for at once, and the National Bu-
reau of Agriculture. The ex-Gover-

boro Congregational cEurcb for 40

in the centre a spot apout the size of

remove the entire scales by bathing or
using oil to soften them the flesh would
be perfectly raw, and light discharge of
bloody substance would ooze out. That
scaly crust would form again in twenty
four hours. 1t was worse on my arms and
limbs, although it was in spots all over
my body, also on my scalp. If / let the
scales remain too long without removing

crack and bleed. l suffered intense itch

The Russian Constitution.

The publication of the amended
fundamental law or constitution in
Russia has aroused renewed bitter
ness among the people. The amend
ments appear to have been devised
exclusively for the purpose of siren
gthening the autocratic privileges of
the Car and nullifying the effect of
the grant of national parliament.
In fact, the only advantage that can
be claimed for the nation in the proc
lamation is the official recognition of
constitutional government of a kind
contained in the sections regarding
the convening of parliament itself.
That boon cannot be taken from the
people now without imperial usurpa-
tion in defiance of the fundamental
law.

What Aids French Peace.

in foreign securities the stupendous
amount of above $13, 00,000,O00 and
that in addition to their own public
debt, the greatest of any nation,
Which is an exclusively domestic
loan. These gigantic savings are due
to frugality and to thrift. Thrift
It was French trait at the dawn of
French history and has prevailed for
centuries. No land has been harried
by opposing armies more frequently
or more devastatingly and no land
ever recovered from desolation so
completely. France is stronger and
richer this moment than ever before,

tion of 1S71.-Washington Post.
