Another Russian
General Murdered

Tiflis, Feb. 1.-The murder Of Gen
eral Griaznoff, chief of staff of the
viceroy of the Caucasus, was most
dramatic and audacious. The assassin
evidently had studied the habits of his
vict,m and lay in wait behind a wall
Of the Alexander garden, opposite the
entrance of the palace, where q car
rage was drawn up to take the general
for his daily drive.
As all suspicious persons are liable
to be searched in the streets by the po-
lice and military patrols, the assassin
impegsonated q painter, carrying the
bomb with which he committed the
crime concealed in a paint can. he
was thus able to pass the sentry post
ed at the gate Of the park and reached
his place of ambush without arousing
suspicion.
General Griaznoff, Glad in a crimson
uniform. made q shining target for the
crouohing assassin when he emerged
from the palace. As the general step
ped into the carriage the assassin
sprang on the wall, swung the can by

st. Petersburg.-A new grouping Of
the powers of Europe, with Germany

closest friendship and the alliance of
the empire with republican France
tagging in the rear, was forecasted by
the words of Emperor Nicholas at a
gala luncheon at Tsarkoe-Selo in hon.

Rising to his feet before a brilliant
company of Russian and German rep
resentatives to propose a toast to the
German emperor, Emperor Nicholas
lifted his glass and said slowly and
distinctly, as IL weighing every word
Il drink to the health of the en-
peror of Germany and the king OF
Prussia, my brother and very dear
friend"
The phrases chosen were significant
enough in themselves, the emperor in
previous years having proposed the
health Of the emperor-king withou,
the qualifying expression of brother
hood and friendship, but turning to
Herr Won Schoen,. the German am
bassador, who was standing at his
right, the emperor grasped him by
the hand, and is reported to have
said:

in diplomatic circles for some time
that Russia will not go a hairs

case France is not the aggressor, ant
there is no telling how soon it will
be allowed to pass into desuetude.

Boy Killed His Mother.

Campton, KY, Feb. "A telephone
message has been received from Rogers,
this county, to the effect that Willis
Hatton, year cid son of John Hilton,
a prosperous farmer, shot and killed
his mother because the latter had
spanked him for some small trifle.
After the mother corrected the child
he turned to her and said: 81 will
kill you for that" He then went into

mother and pulled the trigger. The
ball struck Mrs. Hatton in the right

YAKIMA IRRIGATION
PROJECT. ASSURED

Prosser, Wash, Jan. 31.-The Tie
ton and Sunnyside irrigation projects
are assured by the signing here of the
government agreement by E. f. Benson
of the Prosser Falls Land q Power
company. All the other rights in the
Yakima river are now adjusted, and
Engineer Jacobs has wired Washing
ton from here that the slate is clean.
Taylor & Kemp and Thompson d
Pratt, the two other firms having water
rights, signed the government agree
ment a week ago.
The government is to take over the
irrigating plant Of Mr.. Benson and also
water 400 acres of his individual lands.
It will allow 215 cubic feet of water
to pass Prosser during August, and 229
during the balance of the irrigation
season, and also raise the dam in the
river here from 10 to 10 feet. This will
leave ample power for manufacturing
purposes.
Engineer Jacobs said he believed the
work in this valley would continue for
10 years, until 81, 900, 900 are expend-
ed and 4OO, 900 acres of land irrigated,
200, 900 of which will be in Benton
county.
This is the greatest day in Prosser's
history, even being collapsed in enthus'
iasm by the news, nearly year ago.
that Benton county had been created.
Predictions are freely made that Pros
ser will have 90 population In III years.
