The concrete sidewalks, any,

Construction Will Be Pushed.

Maj. j. M. Lee paid our Office
a very agreeable visit yesterday
and on being asked to tell US
something that would be of in
terest to our readers, said that
in reference to the Baton Rouge
Lafayette road it was the pur-
pose of the company to push the
construction to an early compile
ton. The only reason the work
was not progressing just at
present was that the company
had lots of money to spend and
they wanted to hear from a few
more contractors before award
ing contracts; but that when
they did the road would be com
pleted within twelve months.

quite an amusement. Every

MANY AFTER HARRIS.
Has Four Times as Many Applications

the close of the campaign.
Information to this effect was given
today by J. W. Morphy, of Russell, who
is at the head of the speakers bureau of
the Democratic state central COMMITTEES.
and who reached headquarters at the
Hotel Throop today for the purpose of
making the necessary preliminary ar
rangements for an active speech-making
campaign in the interests Of the Demo-
cratic ticket. Mr.. Morphy expects to
be in the city for the next few days and
it is likely that Senator Harris will be
here some time this week to talk over
with Mr. MOrphy his future dates for
speech making.
No definite plans have been made as
yet for the speech-naaking campaign, -
said Mr. MOrp1y today. But it will be
a vigorous one and we hope to have
things in shape before long so that an
announcement can be made concerning
its extent OF course we viii have tc
base our plans to a certain extent on
the engagements that we Will make for
Senator Harris. We have four times as
many requests for speeches by him than
he could possibly fill if he did nothing
but talk from now until the end of the
campaign It is his intention to make
as many speeches as possible and as
soon as his itinerary IS mapped out why
then we will be able to go ahead and or
ganize the details of the speech -naking g
campaign.
Things are looming up to the good all
the while for the success of the Demo-
cratic ticket and we feel exceedingly op-
timistic"

that Governor Folk of Missouri would

attempt on the life of premier Stolypin,
with it's siekening, useless slaughter Of
thirty-two persons. was followed by an
other revolutionary outrage in which
General Min, commander Of the Semi
novslxy guard regiment, and who since
his promotion to be a general has been
attached as personal adjutant to the
suite of the emperor. was killed on the
station platform at Peterhof by a young
woman, who fired five shots into his
body from an automatic revolver. and
then, without resistance, submitted to
arrest.
The capture Of the girl was enected
by General Minis wife, who held her un-
til the arrival of an officer. This was
the third successive attempt on the life
of General Min, who was condemned TO
death by the terroriSts Immediately af-
ter the Moscow revolt last December, on
account of the stern repression practiced
by a battalion under his command, and
especially for the wholesale. execution

court-martial for being caught with
arms in their hands.
General Min was returning from his
summer residence at Peterhof, and had
just greeted his wife and daughter on
the platform when a young woman, al
most girl. approached from behind
and fired two SHOTS into his back, and
then three more into his body as it sank
to the ground. Further shots were pre-
vented by Nine. Min. who threw herself
upon the murderess and seized the hand
which held the pistol. The woman did
not attempt to escape. but she cautioned
Nine Min not to touch a handbag which
she had placed on the platform before
shooting the general, explaining that it
contained bomb
To the police the girl acknowledged
that she had done the deed, saying she
had executed the sentence of the fight

name
By a remarkable mischance, General
Min only last week after the conclusion
of the maneuvers at Krasnoye- -Selo dis

panied him since the first attempt was
made on his life, saying that the ordi-
nary police OF Peterhof would be suffi-

No effort was made on behalf of
Hoffman, the latter being content in
the belief that he would share what
ever clemency was shown the woman.
r. B. Ruff and Judge w. E. Fowler,
counsel for Mrs Myers, applied to
Judge Burgess, of the state supreme
court. this morning for writ of error
to take the case to the United States
supreme court for review and final de-
termination. Judge Burgess stated
that because of the absence from the
city of Judge CAN'T, it would not be
possible to act on the application until
late IN September.
Mrs. Myers attorneys then applied
to Governor Folk for a respite that
they might apply to the federal court
for an order to transfer the case there
for review. The governor. in the
course of the morning. had received
dozens of kilograms from various
parts of the state. asking him to grant
a respite, and when the matter was
formally presented to him by the at

striking the promised blow, encourage

without great bloodshed.
Tt is hinted in some quarters that the
insurgents do not seriously contemplate
the overthrow Of the government and
would be quite satisfied If by making a
show of force they could frighten or
persuade President Palma to restore
certain deposed liberals to Office and
make concessions as to the conduct of
future elections. From the field, Col.
Asbert has sent a message to the pal
ace saying. I'VE have taken up arms
against the government because we
have reached the conclusion that law

this country by the viii Of the govern
