MOTHER NOT TT " IN BOARD
THE S. -.
She Was Met by Her son-il> & ~ y
Son and Did Not Hear of t6le {

ter's Home in London.

Tilbury, Eng, July 3.-The news of
the tragedy in the Madison Square
roof garden, New York, June 25, when
Harry Thaw shot and killed Stanford
White, had not been communicated to
his mother, Mrs. Thaw when the At
lantic transport line steamer Mime
apolis, from New York, June 23, dock
ed here this morning. Extraordinary
precautions were taken ON board to
keep any inkling Of the tragedy from
her until relatives were able to break
the news,
Mrs. Thaw, who had been unusually
cheerful throughout the voyage, was
met by her son-in-law the earl of Var
mouth, and Blair Thaw, who came to
Tilbury to welcome her and her face
was wreathed in smiles when she
landed
1t was expected that the news would
be communicated to her while on the
train bound for London.
AS the train pulled out of the sta
tion Mrs Thaw was still smiling, APP
parently being in continued ignorance
of the tragedy. The earl of Yarmouth
said that he would not break the news
to her until they reached his house.
She narrowly escaped hearing news
at the dock. While the earl of Var
mouth was talking to the American
press representatives, a reporter from
an English newspaper attempted to
speak to Mrs. Thaw but the earl in
terfered just in time to save her from
getting the first news from a stranger
Wireless messages containing the
news were received on board the Min
neapolis but the captain having been
so advised, suppressed them.

THE AGRARlAN BILL HAS BEEN
INTRODUCED.
The Czar Explains to the Peasants
That the Proposed Plan Of Distri-
buting Land Would be Impossible
and of No Benefit.

st. Petersburg, July 3.-The govern
ment's agrarlan bill has finally been
approved, introduced into the lower
house of parliament and published I'm
the official messenger. accompanied
by sort of proclamation to the peas
ants glorifying the empeEor's constant
solicitude for the peasants.
1t attempts to show the realization
of the 'socialistic Jchemes for the
naturalization of lands with which
the country has been deluded, instead
of improving the lot of the peasants
would result in the inevitable con-
fusion.
The distribution Of arabic state
lands in European Russia would give
each peasant less than one additional
deciatine which would be subject TO
constant diminution owing to the in
creases in population and besides
would deprive the peasants of the OPP
portunity of obtaining work from
landlords from whom a large percen-
tage of their income is derived.

Tawney, chairman Of the house COM
mitteeg on appropriations, has prepared
q detailed statement concerning the
appropriations for the next fiscal year
beginning July /, 1906, made by con-
gress during the session just closed
in which he claims that the per capita

less than that in any European coun-
try.
Mr.. Tawney enters upon an analysis
to show the various channels into
which the total appropriation of $780,
1S3.301 will be diverted. He begins by
deducting S1s9.456,4f5 provided for the
sinking fund for the Panama canal,
etc, showing that the real appropria-
tion for the conduct of the government
for the fiscal year il $740,726, $50. To
meet this demand he estimates that
the total revenues (customs, internal
and postaD will be S781,573,364.

End Of 400 Years Lawsuit.

Nice, July s.-The two villages Lu-
ceran and Lanconque, in the Alpes
Maritines, have just held celebration
in honor of the ending of great
lawsuit which has kept the two vii
lagos divided ever since November
ID, 1862. The question in dispute was
the possession Of a piece Of land at
Iowa, which each village claimed.
A few days ago the court at Nice
definitely settled the matter by divid-
ing the land equally between the viii
lagos. The total cost of the lawsuit
during the 444 years amounts to about
$15O000. while the value of the land
in dispute was about $4,000. The legal
documents which had accumulated in
the course of the centuries We're dock
eted in 1856 parcels, which weighed
sixteen tons, and were stored in a
large disused church.

yesterday communicated to Premier
Goremykin his decision to bow TO the
demand Of parliament for the dismiss
sal of the cabinet and that the pre-
mier expressed his perfect willingness
to retire, no official announcement on
the subject has yet been made The
hitch, apparently, is over the resolu-
tion of the constitutional democrats
not to accept the Office in the coalition
ministry That seems to have dis
concerted the emperor's plans and he
is said to be hesitating whether to
persist in the effort to form hybrid
ministry, composed of bureaucrats as

Philadelphia, July 3.--A preliminary
report of the special committee of the
board of directors of the Pennsylvania
railway company recently appointed to
investigate alleged discrimination I'm
the distribution Of coal cars as re-
vealed at the hearings of the inter-
state commerce commission was sub
mitted today to the full board of the

report was unanimously approved.
The committee says that the tes-
timony showed that "of more than 300
operators of bituminous coal mines.
situated on the lines of the Pennsyl-
Yania Railway Co, ten operators In all
have testified that they believed them
selves to have been unfairly discrimi-
mated against, either in the distribu-
ton of coal cars, or in the matter of
sidings connecting the workings with
the railway lines.
"Fifty-one of more than 10000 off,
GERS and employees of the Pennsylvania
Railway Co." the report says, "were
examined before the Interstate COM
merce commission and of those witt
nesses twenty-one were shown to have
acquired in various ways interests i'm
coal companies or properties, alleged
but not proven to have received undue
and unreasonable construction Of sid
ings. The testimony of the witnesses
examined before the committee did not
prove that there have been, in fact,
any undue or unreasonable prefer
enees, either in the distribution of coal
cars, or in the construction of sidings."

When the limited reached the switch
the entire train leaped from the track.
The engine parted from the train
and landed. in the ditch on it's side.
Engineer Ed Crane and Fireman
William Flannery stuck to their posts

Four palace cars followed the track

The fact that the engine parted from

several lives.
