ST. PETERSBURG, May 25.-Itis announced
that the Gar will receive Mr.. zef
President Of the Duma, in private audience
next Monday.
The Duma to-day una nimously resolved
to question the President OF the Council
OF Ministers with regard to new death
sentences in the Baltic provinces which
have been confirmed.
The sentences were imposed by a court.
martial. The House voted to telegraph
to Prime Minister Goremykin demanding the
suspension of the sentences, and this was
done.
A bill esta blishing the writ of habeas
corpus in Russia passed it's first reading.
LONDON, May 25.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent OF the Times says that the
reported military plot against the Duma
was a mere fash in the pan, and was only
worth noticing as being likely TO strengthen
the res stationary influences at court, Only
guardsmen and officers who served in Man
churia were affected, and the movement
was directed equally against the Car and
the Duma. 1t had its origin in resentment
against the treaty of peace as well as against
the proposed appropriation Of land.

an Engine and Escapes.

JIMINEz, Mexico, May 25.-Joe Larcey,
an American passenger conductor on the
Mexican Central Railroad, shot and killed
a Mexican at a dance here three nights
ago. He fed and tagged a ~northbound
passenger train.
Six Mexican police from Jiminez we're
onthe train, expecting thathe would attempt
to escape in this way. When they ordered
Larcey to surrender he drew his own pistol
and ordered them of the train. They
got of. Iarcey then took possession Of
the engine and cut it oose from the rest
of the train.
The engineer, George Dempsey, was
forced 10 remain at the throttle and the
two mon began a wild ride toward the
Texas border. The train dispatcher was
advised that the engine was running wild
and the track was cleared. The run from
Jiminez to Chihuahua, 145 miles, was made
in record time.
A stop for water vas made at that places
and the police attempted to capture the
fugitive. Dempsey opened the throttle
wide and sped down the track into the

ABANDONED AUTO IN THE ROAD.
Apparently the Property OF NJ. b. Foster
OF Sound Beach.

8 Lying on the side Of the road on Sedgwick
avenue, just at the foot of Van Cortlandt
Hill, Kingsbridge, the police found an
abandoned automobile last night. 1t ia
numbered New York 1874, and Connecti-
cut 2,58s. Folks In the neighborhood told
the police that the machine had zigzagged
down the hill, suddenly swerved to the side
Of the road and, tipping up on its side
spilled all hands out TO the side OF the road.
These b~ystanders say that in the machine
were two women and two men, one Of whom
was addressed as il he might be the driver.
He was spoken to as Newman" Another
automobile came along and picked the four
up. Whether any n was hurt, no one
knew.
Automobile 15,44l is registered as the
property Of Nj. B. Foster OF 17lWest Seventy
frst street. M: B. Foster doesn't live
at that address any more. His father,
A. C. Foster. lives at 2lo West l07th street.
He said last night that his son had a car
answering the description Of the one
wrecked and that the name OF his sons
chauffeur was Newman.
Mr.. Foster said that his son had left this
city last night for his summer home at Sound
Beach, Conn. No word Of an accident had
reached the father at midnight last night,
and the elder Foster Is OF the opinion that
II his son or his companions had been hurt
they would surely have sent word to him.
