DEATH SENTENCE FOR REBELS
RUMOR THAT CAR WOULD SUS.
PEND EXECUTIONS FINDS
ITS ANSWER.

st. Petersburg, June 12.-In spite
of official denial, the belief that the
retirement of the Goremyllin minis
try is near at hand was reasserted
yesterday by the Reich, the Constitu
tional Democratic organ, which APP
parently is looking forward hopefully
to the installation of a cabinet more
parliament.
This hope apparently springs from
the belief that the ministry is apt to
60 to smash through dissensions over
the agrarian program of Minister of
Agriculture Stichinsky, concerning
which there has been much gossip
lately Members of the cabinet, how
ever, state that signs of serious dis
cord have not yet manifested them
selves.
Discuss Program.
The program of Minister Stichinslly
has been submitted to the ministry,
and preliminary discussion of it re-
vealed no strongly adverse criticism
to it. The Liberal organs also give
credit to a report that the emperor, in
Difference to the sentiment of the
lower house of parliament, has de-
cided to suspend executions pending
the enactment of a law abolishing
them, but the rumor finds answer in
the dispatches from Warsaw, where a
Fan was hanged Saturday for an at
tack on a policeman. and four have
been condemned to death for saclling
the township treasury, and from Riga,
where a court-martial of thirty-siX
members of the fighting band of the
revolutionists has condemned to
death seven men, among them the
leader, known throughout the whole
of the Baltic provinces as Napoleon,
and twenty to Imprisonment from
three to four years.
Want to Know About 1t.
A preliminary Interpolation regard
ing the Riga court-martial also has
been presented to the lower house of
parliament, as a verdict of guilty was
anticipated, and it was decided not
to give the military officers time to
execute the sentences before the in
terpellation reached them through
the regular channel as happened at a
previous execution of eight persons
at Riga.

Rough Operation.
Britton, S. d., June I'm. r. Janu-

the point of death at his home in this
city. January is we'll known as the
man who, while a prisoner in Libby
prison during the Civil war, ampu-
tated both of his feet with a jack
knife.
He had been discovered in an at
tempt to escape and had been
shackled. The shackles wore a sore
on each foot, and this resulted in
gangrene. January suffered so much
that, borrowing jackllnife from a
fellow prisoner, he performed a
rough surgical operation upon him
self, amputating both feet just above
the ankle. He nearly died from the
operation, but soon afterwards was
exchanged and came North where he
received medical attention which led
to his recovery.
