AFTER GENERAL TREPoFF.
Another Russian Officer Assassinated
BY Mistake.

st. Petersburg, July 16.-Additional
details of the assassination of Cen
eral Kozloff, of the headquarters
staff, in the park of Peterhof Satur-
day, prove beyond question that the
murderer believed ne was killing
General Trepoff. The tragedy occur
red in the presence of several thous-
and people who were listening to
music in he English park below the
grand chateau adjoining the park of
Alexander Palace, where the Imperial
family and General Trepoff reside.
A young man dressed as a work
man gaZed long and earnestly at
Gen. Kozloff, then took a photograph
from his pocket to compare it with
Kozloff's features. He then drew
pistol and fired four shots point
blank at KozIoff, VINO fell mortally
wounded and died on the spot. The
assassin started to flee, but Prince
Romiroff seized him and turned him
over to the police. When the prison
er was searched, General TrepOff'S
photograph was found in his pocket.
The assassin refused to give his
name, but avowed that he was a
member of social revolutionary or
in politics, but was married to the
daughter of the famous field MARSHAL

The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1906-09-22

Of Wyoming, evolved the system which
is now in vogue. He conceived the Idea
of putting the names of all applicants
in blank, sealed envelopes, and throw
ing all these envelopes In great box,
from which they were to be drawn, one
by one. In order to insure perfect mix
ing of the names, the box was to be
turned at intervals, and, after each rev.
olution, three envelopes would be drawn
forth by as many children, chosen for
the purpose.
When Commissioner Richards made
public this plan there were warm OBJ
jections on the ground that it was lot
terry, in direct defiance Of the govern
ment's own laws. The matter was
brought before President Mckinley,
and he was told Of the objection to the
new plan.
"If that is the only objection. will
sign the bill at once" said President
Mcinley, las 1 am convinced there Is
no element of gambling In it."

tiers incurs no expense aside from %
cents notary fee, he cannot be said to

have always hated hotels, 50 lost
no time in looking round for lodgings
suitable to my means, and was fortunate
enough to obtain a couple of rooms in the
house occupied by priest, Father
Jacques Bonchretien. He was very good
fellow, and though we did not become in
innate, / could always rely on his cour-
tesy and friendly services. Here l lived
in great comfort at an expense of fifty
dollars a month, and l soon found that
my spare fifty made me a well-to-do man
in Whittingham. Accordingly l had the
entree of all the best houses, including
the Golden House, and a very pleasant
little society we had; occasional dances,
frequent dinners, and plenty of lawn ten
mis- and billiards prevented me feeling the
tedium 1 had somewhat feared, and the
young ladies of Nottingham did their
best to solace my exile. AS for business,
l found the bank doing small business,
but a tolerably satisfactory one, and If
we made some bad debts, we got high in
terest on the good ones, so that, one way
or another, l managed to send home pref
ty satisfactory reports, and time passed
ON quietly enough in spite of certain man
ifestations of discomfort among the popu-
lation. These disturbing phenomena were
first brought prominently to my notice at
the time when l became involved in the
fortunes of the Aureataland national
debt, and as all my story turns on this
incident, it perhaps is a fit subject for a
new chapter.

With the public drawing for sho-
shone Indian reservation lands at Ian
der, Wyo., came the sixth test OF the
governments lottery system.
At the opening Of the Grow reserva-
ton In Montana recently the system
worked to perfection. Sixteen thou
sand persons were registered In two
weeks, and in the presence of large
crowd, these names were drawn from
a box at the rate Of about 2.OOO per
day, and the names Of the prize win
ners announced. In fact, since the first
trial of the so-called lottery system at
the secon1. Oklahoma opening, there
has not Leen a single valid objection
raised against this method of throw
ing Indian lands open to white settle
ment, and the plan of distribution will
doubtless continue in effect until there
are no more Of Los acres to distribute.

School of Navigation.

AS possible stimulus to river cities
in German states, a school of naviga-
tion has been established at Mannheim
for the purpose of educating young
men employed on river boats In the
art of navigation and kindred sciences,
says the New York Herald. The term
lasts about eight weeks in VIM n.
while the Rhine River is iceboHiii.
Students are taught penmanship. ! II
guage, arithmetic, geography, conli'pr-
cial law and everything necessar. for
them to know regarding shipbuilding
and navigation. They must be 16 years
old and must have worked at least one
year on a river boat. The tuition fee
is nominal and for boys without means
entirely free. The men generally grad
uate after two winter terms of eight
weeks each, receive a captains patent
from the government after five years
more Of practical service, provided they
are at least twenty years old. Steam
ship companies have agreed to give
graduates of the school the preference
over applicants without diploma.

The old plan Of opening Indian reser-
vations was to line all the homeseekers
at the edge of the coveted ground and
to let them race for the prizes. The
results Of these rushes have been some
thing terrible to contemplate. There
are suits still pending as the result Of
disputes growing out of the first Okla
homa opening, in 1898. Men who had
killed fast horses in getting to valu-
able claims found their rights disputed
by ''sOoners," who had crept on the res
ervation, despite all the efforts of SOL
diers to keep them off. Gun plays were
made, and the struggle for lands was
nothing short of bestial, bringing out
all that was worst in the natures of the
men engaged. The weak had no chance
against the strong, and the many evils
Of the system were so apparent that
the government officials made I'D their
minds never to have another rush for
public lands.

minds IN the country were saok,,
some way in which the game could -

Idea OF registering several times md.
the same name. But this plan W..
frustrated when Commissioners d.
ards devised card index for fil.no ~
the names after registration. Thus tha
names that were similar had to cow
together, and the scheme of the w,,s
one was exposed. If man repisto,as
under false names he courted o -
term in prison, for proof of bis ri.h,
name had to be made at the time Of 8,

plicity of the plan makes detection
easy.
AS to the absolute fairness Of +bo
scheme, many tests have been mad

tab reservation in Utah, there We're %

Richards kept careful check of tho sol

names OF the soldiers were mixed with
the others, so that the exact ratio q,

Der of registrations. When the reais.
tration is high, the chances of success
are small. The Crow reservation omen.
ing offered the greatest chance, as there
were only 10000 registrations against
$500 claims for distribution. So each
mans chances Of drawing something
were between one in two and one in
three. At the Uintah opening last wear
there were over $4,000 registrations
against $500 claims, so the chances Of
success were much smaller.
Encouraging the Homeseeker.
It is the aim Of the government off.
Gals to keep the registration as low rs
possible. This is with the idea of en-.
c0uraging the bona fide homeseeker and
excluding the born gambler, who mere
ly wants to take a chance" in the
hope of drawing the magic first number
out of the big box. The first number
is the prize desired by every one of the
thousands who register in these land
drawings. At the Crow opening there
was a standing offer of $4,000 for the
first number. In the eager crowd that
gathered about the drawing booth on
the opening day there were men of all
walks of life who had taken chances
in the hope of securing No. l. But the
first name drawn from the box by the
proud youth who had been selected to
act as emissary for the goddess of
chance was that Of Owen B. Williams,
of Custer, Mont.-a "squaw man." Tru-
ly. opportunity never knocked more IN
expectedly than on the door Of the
"squaw mans" shack on the Big Horn
But that Is merely sample of the
strange freaks Of fortune in these land
drawings 1t is this element Of chance
that makes these government lotteries
such a fascination to so many people

day, while exercising personal supervi-

days the lands were distributed by lot
or lottery, as 1t is termed to-day. Names
were put in an earthen jar and drawn
