st. Petersburg, Aug. 16.- The war
of terrorism which the fighting organ
izatiOn of the social revolutionists de-
clared Immediately after parliament
was dissolved, seems now to have
begun in earnest. From all parts of
the empire the telegraph brings the
same story of attacks on police Off
cials OF all classes, accompanied in
the majority of cases by plunder.
The Polish revoIutionists are espe-
cially active. There is a veritable
reign of terror from the Vistula to
the German frontier Almost fifty
cases of assassination were reported
early Wednesday night. The Move
Vremya heads its list of murders and
other crimes "St. Bartholomew night
in Poland"
The resumption of terroristic activ-
1t yon large scale renders the task
OF the government more difficult and
darkens the prospects of the present
ministry in accomplishing anything in
the direction of an amelioration Of
the situation. While for the moment
the campaign Of the terrorists is bound
to increase, the revulsion Of the more
conservative public opinion against the
wild accessess of the extremist, it is
bound to force the government to
some action, which, it is claimed, will
in the end drive public sympathy back
to almost any ends for relief.
The government announces that the
new parliament will have the right to
review the budget for 1907. The bull
Ietln will be submitted to parliament
when is assemblies in March and in
the meantime the credit for the first
two months will be one-sixth of the
credits for the entire year, under the
authority of the fundamental law as
signing the credits for the preced-
Ing year in case of the failure of the
passage of the budget.
Several liberal papers have been
permitted to resume publication either

MILWAUKEE

PREFER, VQLIYA

Milwaukee, April 25-All ties-re-
ligious and fnancial-between John
Alexander Dowie and the Milwaukee
and Madison branches of the Christian
Catholic Church of Zion have been
finally and completely severed. Notice
to this effect has been served upon
Elijah III by Deacon John Taylor, in
charge of Milwaukee worshippers.
The members of the Milwaukee
church OF Zion have adopted unani-
mously the policy of the overseers at
Zion. No more chances will be taken
by the Milwaukee members of the
church in endorsing any one man.
Stress is placed upon the fact that 40
individual of the church is endorsed.
Deacon John Taylor, who has charge
of the Milwaukee branch emphasized
the fact that the Milwaukee members
of the church endorse the overseers
now in charge.
1t is the unanimous wish of the
Milwaukee branch that all funds be
taken out of the hands of Dowie and
placed in control of Alexander Grang-
er, financial agent, as trustee for the
church. The Milwaukee Zionites so
voted on Sunday.
Deacon Taylor sent telegram to
Dowie at the Auditorium annex in
Chicago, notifying him that he no
longer is considered as leader. The
telegram is short and to the point It
| follows:
Milwaukee and Madison approve
the actions of the overseer at head
| quarters. JOHN TAYLOR.

said to be already active in his cam

and Frank X. Boden has been talked
of as a candidate for Congressman OF

seems likely that both of the Milwau-

race before they succeed in securing
a denomination. The postoffice con
test will play an important part in
the campaign.

he would make the run or not. Mr..
Roehr is at present q member of the
state senate and has still two years
to serve. If he becomes a candidate
for congress, he would be obliged to
resign this position. If he resigned
after the primary election, a state
senator from his district would have
to be nominated under the old con
yention system, as the primary elcc-
ton law does not apply to special
elections to fill vacancies.

of these limit immunity pleas to per-

evidence under oath and allowing to
the United States the right of appeal

bill provides that a warrant issued in
any district of the circuit court may
be served in all other districts.

Milwaukee, April 25.-FTank G. Bige
low, convict from the government
prison at Fort Leavenworth, was
brought into the federal court yester-
day under guard to testify in the case
of H. G. Coll, former assistant cashier
of the bank, who is accused of being
his accomplice in the elgan-.o
OF misrepresentation which jeopafulzed
the safety of the bank and shocked
Milwaukee as nothing else has dona
in its commercial history.
Bigelow was accompanied by his
son, Gordon Bigelow, and Captain
Zerbst, the prison guard who is in
charge Of him. He was taken imn-
diately into the ante-room, where the
witnesses have been kept awaiting
their turn to testify.
The courtroom was crowded ana
even the small gallery was filled with
curious people anxious to gaze at the
famous criminal. Among those with
in the bar were Judge Brace of the
municipal court, who by invitation OF
Judge Quarles, occupied a seat upon
the bench. Many women were notice
able in the courtroom and William
Bigelow was among the spectators.
No other officer of the bank was pres
ent.
Bigelow was called to the stand by
Attorney w. A. Rubin for the defense
AS the convict entered the courtroom
the audience was impressed with the
change which a year has wrought IN
his appearance. He was dressed in the
same suit which he wore when he left
Milwaukee for prison, almost year
ago, and he is much paler, thinner and
older looking that at that time.
Heavy circles are under his eyes and
lines are in his face that tell more
eloquently than could volumes of
words of the suffering through which
he has passed.
