A Y'SCLOSE CALL
FIVE FOUND UNCONSCIOUS FROM
GAS THIS MORNING.

PITTSBURG, March 20.-The entire fam
lily of John H. Williamson, postmaster and
station agent at Glen Osborne, Pa, on the
Fort Wayne railroad, were found uncon-
scious from asphyxiation at about $50
O'Clock this morning The family consisted
of the father. mother and three children,
and when found they We're supposed to be
in a moribund condition.
The discovery was made by some persons
who had gone to the station to take
train for Pittsburg. Owing to the fact that
the station was not open they suspected
something was wrong and made an investi-
cation. Forcing the doors and going inside
they found the entire family still in their
beds and unconscious. The house was fill
ed with fumes of gas.
After the windows had been thrown open
physicians were summoned and heroic eff
forts made to resuscitate the victims of the
accident.
The physicians worked over the stricken
family for two hours, and finally succeeded
in restoring them to consciousness. Mr..
Williamson said the entire family were
sick during the night from having partaken
of canned peaches, and he had been up sew
eral times. The last time was about 4
a M. and then ne thought he smelled sui
phur or gas, but was too sleepy and tired to
bother much about it. He remembered
nothing after that

A REMARKABLE EXPOSE
Kuropatkin'S Last Order of the

RUSSIAN DEFEATS SHOWN

DUE TO BUREAUCRATIC RULE
Russia's War Office Policy Destructive

RUSSIAN DEFEATS SHOWN
,UE TO BUREAUCRATIC RULE

ST. PETERSBURG, March 20.-General
Kuropatkn's last order of the day to the
first Manchurian army, printed in the
Russky Invalid (the military orgam today,
is a remarkable exposure of the Russian
defeats. showing that they We're due to lack
of preparation and equipment, and to the
fact that there were no explosive shells for
the mountain artillery, etc, in the early
stages of the war. He does not shlrk his
own responsibility as minister of war (be-
fore the war broke ouO, but points out that
the causes of the defeats were deeper,
namely, the morals of the troops and OF the
officers who did not display initiative, inde-
pendence or enthusiasm in spite of the iron
nerves and heroic spirits of the soldiers.
All this the general boldly announces Is
attributable TO the oppression of bureau
cratic rule during the last fifty years,
which In the case of the officers drove men
of independence from the service, leaving
only worthless drones. He Congratulates
the troops on the advent of liberty and
hope for the regeneration of the people.
General kuropatkin gives the entire losses
OF the first Manchurian army, which aver
aged a strength of 100000 men and ZOO
officers as 395 officers killed and 1,733
wounded and 10 435 men killed and 56,35O
wounded and concludes with expressing
the opinion that the army should be so
strengthened in time of peace that victory
will be certain in time OF war.

by the revolutionists. The boys OF the
st. Petersburg gymnasium struck today in
order to compel the offering up of prayers

ties had refused to commute the death pen
atty he wept for the three sailors his COM
panions, saying they We're so young and
honest and he would prefer to die alone
The condemned men were taken to the
small deserted island of Borizan and were
shot at sunrise.
Schmidt addressed his eXecutioners, sixty
sailors of the cruiser Teretz, saying: Il die
for the Russian people and the fatherland
and many of you will doubtless hereafter
share my death for the same cause"
Schmidt refused to accept the sacrament
and asked not 10 be blindfolded He met
his death with head up and eyes open. The
firing party was stationed at a distance of
fifty PAGES. Two Of the sailors were killed
at the first vOley and one more at the
third Schmidt did not fall until the fourth

AFTER FOREST GLEN SCHOOL.
Effort to Issue It's Proper Taxation at
Annapolis.

Special Dispatch to The Star
STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS, Nd,
March 20.-The senate took hard and fast
sides IN debate over a bill, introduced
some time ago by Mr.. Lee the provisions
of which insure the taxation of the Forest
Glen Seminary. in Montgomery county.
The lineup was unusual, since It resulted
In the defeat OF the Montgomery senator
In purely local measure, and one which
had been indorsed by the county commits
sfoners. The debate was further unusual
in that the senate would not even grant a
stay OF the matter. when a full senate
might have decided the matter differently
After the bill had been acted upon unfa-
vorably Mr. Perkins succeeded in getting
Mr.. Linthicum of Baltimore, who had
voted against Mr. Lee, and who could
therefore make the motion, to move a re-
consideration of the vote by which the bill
was lost, and make that motion the special
order later today. This was tabled by a
close vote, 10 to o. the president of the SEN
