Conditions In Russia.

st Petersburg, Sept. IA general
exodus OF Russian grand dukes from
this city has set in, following the death
on Saturday night of General Trepod,
who had been the virtual dictator OF
Russia for months, owing to the fear
which exists generally, that fresh trou-
bles are now bound to occur.
Other reactionaries are expected to
follow the example set by the grand
dukes, and European capitals will prob
ably be flooded soon with Russian exiles.
Now that Trepof is gone, it is feared
terrorists will renew their activity and
revolulionists will lend fr SD zeal to their
propaganda.
Tsrroris.s are openly claiming today
that they caused Trepoff's death.
Warsaw, Poland, Sept. 1.-THE first
echo OF the death in st. Petersburg on
Saturday night of General Trepoff was
heard here today in an attempt TO assss-
sinate General Dorsezewski, president
OF the court-msitisl board, before which
terrorists have been tried. Dorszewski
was dangerously, if not fatally, wounded.
10 the attempt on porszewski, the ter
rorists were only carrying out a threat
that they would kill any officer who
dared to serve on one of the military
courts which had condemned terrorist.
The attack on Dorszewski occurred at
IL O'Clock this morning while he was
driving through Alexander Square 10
his carrisge An unknown man fired
at him, the bullet going true. The
would.be assassin make his escape.

A Narrow Escape.

Fannie Day, a shop girl who wss
one of party of eight persons in a
naptha launch which was capsized in the
lower bay of New York early Saturday,
had a most remarkable escape from
drowning. Three Other companions were
swept to the bottom when the lau nch,
with disabled engines, was run into by
the mud scow Olympia Mss Day had
gone down with the others, and when
nothing was seen of her for hours after
ward il was reported she had met death.
But when the mud scow had been towed
nearly to its destination snd the deck
hands were adjusting the dumping spps-
raius at the bottom they were startled to
find handsomely dressed young woman
in one OF the pockets. She had been lit
orally scooped out of the water BY the
dumping machinery which had been left
open sitter the scow had discharged its
last load at sea.

New York Politics.

New York, sept. l7.-ExhsustiVe in
quiry made by Publishers Press repre-
sentatives indicates that as things stand
today Hesrst's chances OF securing the
endorsement of the democratic conven.
ton at Buffalo have greatly improved.
Even some OF his strongest opponents
admit that The opposition is disorganized
and that the situation from their point
of view is desperate.
New York politicians say that Hearst
will control delegates from nearly twenty
upstate counties, and that if he can get
either New York or Kings be will be
master OF the situation.
Murphy, the Tammany leader, is
openly for Hearst This is despite the
fact that the New York World yesterday
reprinted a page Of old cartoons from
the Journal showing Murphy in stripes
and a Journal editorial in which Arthur
Brisbane 10 his hes; style enquired, "Mr.
Murphy, why are you not in Sing Sing?"
Outsiders, especially Wall street and
sporting men, have begun TO take an
acute interest in the situation. Political
weather, as they see it, is mighty squally
and il is getting time for storm signals.
They think old line democrats under
estimate Hearst, and that the Buffalo
convention is likely to be the most sur
prising and sensational 10 the history of
the empire State.

The Cuban Crisis.

Havana, Sept. l7.-According to q
widely circulated report today. Presi
dent Palma will within few days issue
q call for q special election As to the
easiest solution of the present Cuban
crisis. While the rumor is denied by
General Freyre Andre, one of President
oalms's closest advisers, there is reason
to believe that this action viii be taken
by the Palma administration rather than
Iermit Intervention by the United
States The rebels say that such an act
will instantly quel the insurrection.
To avoid having come of the scandals
of the administration aired, Palma, it is
believed, will consent TO make peace
with the insurgents on almost any terms.
The rebels say a settlement can be
arranged on the basis of 8 new election,
but in no other way. Persons in q
position to know a good deal of the
inner workings of the government, there
fore, are confident that the new election
will be called soon.
President Pslms's proclamation OF q
cessation OF hostilities yesterday is re-
gsrded as the first step by the govern
ment toward coming to an understanding
with his enemies. Emisssries are now
on their way 10 the various insurgent
camps to carry the news of this procls-
nation aud, if possible, enter into nego-
tistions with the rebel leaders for the
conclusion of peace.
It is expected that in response to in
vitations from government authorities a
conference with the ipsurgent chiefs and
liberal leaders will be arranged shortly
to discuss peace proposals.
Whatever the eventual outcome of the
revolution, it is believed the United
States Intervention will result in one
good. Cuba's constitution has been
proved by the few years of its test to be
nnwieldly 10 several particulars. 1t is
believed Secretary TAFT will insist that
10 the final settlement OF the dispute pro-
vision shall be made for the amendment
of the constitution wherever it has been
found faulty.

THAT there is ample need for the

shown by an investigation which has

abuses to be remedied, and he set a
force of chemists to wOfk s to make as

gas astonishing. 1t was shown that OF
the ten thousand samples collected and
tested there were fewer than 9Oper cent.

for warning to the manufacturer and
more than so per cent invited prosecu'

of the samples analysed. which on the
whole fairly represented the general
character of drugs sold over the counters
