ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE.

Stackpole while waiting this after
noon for the verdict made a clever and
almost successful effort to escape from
the building. Unnoticed by Bailiff Har-
rington, he strolled out through the
door OF the courtroom into the chamber
of Judge James, where an open door
led into the corridors of the court. He
had scarcely entered the Judges cham
bers when Harrington caught sight of
him and sprang for the open door,
Harrington succeeded in rushing in
front of Stackpole and throwing the
door shut and locking it. He then
clapped handouts on the prisoner and
led him back into the courtroom.
Stackpole was cool and collected and
had nothing to say after the episode
II is the second time during the pres
ent trial that he has made the some
sort of effort to escape from the off,

OFFICERS OF PERRY
ASCEND new PEAK

Washington, Aug. 27-The treasury
department has received a brief report
of visit made by the officers of the
revenue cutter Perry, few weeks
ago, to the new peak which recently
sprang up on Fire island, one Of the
Bogoslov group of the Aleutian ISL
ands, about sixty miles west of Una
laska.
The southern end of Fire island
consists of two long spits from half
to three-eights of a mile in length and
about fifteen feet above high water
On the western spit the new volcanic
peak has sprung up, rising abruptly
from the water to height of about
700 feet and in shape resembling a
monster beehive, with base 900 feet
in diameter. From numerous crevices
columns of steam and sulphurous
smoke continuously rise and form a
cloud which is visible for more than
thirty miles.
Although the surface of the new
peak was warm and soft in places, the
officers succeeded in reaching the sum-
NIT. In recognition of the fact that
the officers of the revenue cutter Perry
were the first persons to visit the new
peak they named it "Perry peak.

PRESIDENT ADOPTS
reformed Spelling

Oyster Bay, Aug. 27.-President
Roosevelt has Endorsed the Carnegie
spelling reform movement. He has
issued orders to Public Printer Still
ings that hereafter all messages from
the president and all other documents
emanating from the White House shall
be printed in accordance with the rec
concentrations of the spelling reform
committee headed by Brander Math-
ews, professor of English Mt Columb ia.
This committee has published list
of 800 words in which the spelling is
reformed. The list contains such
words as 'thru" and "tho" for
through and though.
The presidents official sanction of
this reform movement is regarded as
the most effective and speediest meth
cd of inaugurating the new system of
spelling throughout the country. Not
only will the printed documents ema-
mating from the president utilize the
reform spelling, but his correspond
ence al 10 will be spelled in the new
style.
As the spelling reform committee
shall adopt new reforms those will be
added to the presidents list and also
to that of the public printer.
While the order to the public print
er Just issued does not contemplate an
immediate reform in the spelling of
official documents from the executive
departments in Washington, it is re-
parded as more than likely that the
respective heads of departments will
fall into line with the presidents ideas
and have their official documents
printed in the new spelling.

governments BID
FOR PEASANT Vote

St. Petersburg, Aug. 27.-The gov
eminent has decided to proceed with
its original plan for settling the agra.
rian question, regardless of parlia-
ment, and go to the country upon the
issue at the coming election. An i'm
perial ukase will almost Immediately
be issued directing the agrarian CON-
mission to begin the distribution of
1900, 900 dessiatines "a dessiatine is
about * acres) belonging to the ap-
panages, 1000, 900 dessiatines belong
ing to the crown and 1900, 900 dessia-
tines of land offered for purchase
through the Peasants bank.
Only the forest lands belonging to
the state, the preservation of which is
considered necessary for the future
agricultural prosperity of the country,
will be reserved.
The transaction will be financed
through the Peasants bank. Little
cash will be required. The landlords
and other sellers will be given market
able land scrip, eventually redeemed
by the peasant purchasers in Install
ment notes designed to meet the inter-
est and amortization.
The emperor will not give the land
of the imperial family as free gift,
but like other landlords he will accept
scrip. It is not believed that any par
Lament will ever dare to repeal this
temporary law.
Nearly all the presant restrictions
upon the peasant class will also be re.
moved. This is in substance the gov.
ernment's bold bid for the support of
the Russian peasant millions against
the propaganda of the revolutionists.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 27.-Talk of a

air. Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholai-
vtch, who has iost returned from call
ing on Premier Stolypin, is especially

Nicholas and other grand dukes went
to the emperor to demand his author
ization, but up to the present moment
this has not been received.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 27-Saturday's
unsuccessful attempt on the life of
Premier Stolypin, with it's sickening
slaughter of thirty-two persons, was
followed last night by another revolu-
tionary outrage, in which Gen. Min,
commander of the Seminovsky guard
regiment, and who, since his promo.
tion to be general, has been ATTACHED
as a personal adjutant to the suite of
the emperor, was killed on the station
platform at Peterhof by a young wo-
man who fired five shots into his body
from an automatic revolver and then,
without resistance, submitted to ar.
rest.
The capture of the girl was effected
by Gen. Minis widow, who held her
until the arrival of an officer. This
was the third successive attempt on
the life of Gen. Min, who was con-
demned to death by the terrorists i'm.
mediately after the Moscow revolt last
Decmeber on account of stern repres-
sion practiced by a battalion under
his command, and especially for the
wholesale execution of persons con-
demned by drumhead courtmartial
for being caught with arms in their
hands.

Canadians Obtain Stock

Early this summer there was mys
FERROUS buying of Pacific Coast line
stock. Before Hartman or Hill could
discover who were the purchasers the
Canadian Pacific had obtained a suffi-
cient interest in the road to WELD the
balance of power. Then the Canadians
made overtures to Hill for joint con-
troll of all advantages the line offered
in connection with the trade of the
Coast. Hill Indignantly repulsed them
and made his memorable threat to
build into the Canadian Pacific's ter
ritory. The latter turned to Harri.
man, but Hartman was not i'm pressed
with the value of an alliance with the
Canadians.
$50 the latter fell back upon the St.
Paul Interests, with which they made
an alliance. Scarcely had that been
accomplished before Hartman eyes
had been opened. He Immediately
started to repair his error by the pur-
chase of St. Paul stock, and soon had
acquired sufficient interest in that
road to be able to make demonstra-
ton against the Smith Rockefeller In
terests. That, it is believed, inclined
the latter to look more favorably or
his fight for the Pacific coast trade.
Upon the control of the remainder OF
the floating stock of the st. Paul de,

their weight ultimately"

TERRORISTS' WORK
UNSUCCESSFUL ATTFMPT ON LIFE
OF STOLYPIN.
Bomb Thrower Invades Country
Home of Russian Premier and
Drops Bomb With Terrible
Effect--Stolypin Escapes, but
Many Others Are Killed.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 27.-Thirty-
two are dead and more than thirty
wounded as result of an attempt Sat-
urday afternoon to assassinate Premier
Stolypin with bomb while he was
holding a public reception at his coun-
try house on Aptekassy island. The
premier was slightly wounded on the
face and neck by flying splinters.
The terrorist who carried the explo-
sive into the house was literally con-
verified into pulp by the force of the
explosion. Inside the gendarme coat
which he had on was found the death
sentence of Premier Stolypin that he
had tried to execute. The police re-
fuse to make public the contents of
the document.
The tragedy created a tremendous
sensation here and extra editions of
the newspapers we're sold in the streets
until midnight. In the clubs, where
officials and officers were gathered,
the most intense indignation pre-
vailed, and the prediction was freely
made that the revolutionists would
pay dearly for such senseless crimes,
and no doubt was entertained that
their only effect would be to drive the
government to more severe methods
of repression.
From information received from rev.
dictionary sources it is certain that the
crime was committed by the fighting
organization of the social revolution
lists in retaliation for the war which
the government has been waging
against them. Since M. Stolypin's
accession to the premiership over 1000
of their members have been arrested,
400 in st. Petersburg alone, and many
of these have been deported.

The Blue Book.

The official register of the United
States, known as the "Blue Book, "
which is issued every two years by the
Interior Department, is in type and
awaiting the index to the second volume
and the return Of the departmental
proofsheets to the government printing
Office. The volumes, in size, will ex-
coed previous issues by about 400 pages,
the greatest increase being in the Post
Office Department, the railway mail and
rural free delivery services having ex-
banded. The "Blue Book" is said to
be one of the most expensive publicq-
tions by the government outside of the
Year Book of the Department of Agri-
culture, approximately 1900 quarto
pages OF tabular matter, containing 49,
500 ems each, icing required this year.
At the rate charged by the Office this
amounts to nearly sl2 per page. 1t is
understood that the big printery has
saved thousands of dollars on the publ
cation by having the composition done
on the Lanston typesetting machines.
