ERNMENT FUNDS.

WARSAW, July 2S.-A passenger train
carrying government money and guarded
by detachment of soldiers and gendarmes
was attacked today between Czenstochowa
and Herby by a numerous, well-armed
band. Lively firing ensued, during which
two gendarmes. four soldiers and two civil
employees were killed and others of the
guards were wounded. The attacking party
carried off So, ,00G, and the arms of the de-
tenders of the train.

captured a train on Thursday, announcing
that the revolution had begun.
The countryside Is said to be in a fer
ment, and sympathizing with the guerilla
bands The small force of troops operat-
ing IN the district will be REINFORCED

cent incidents They affirm that it Will. be
difficult for the PROVING. al administration to
detaeh enough troops from the cities and
towns to make the net large enough to
catch the marauders

consisted of ten revolutionists, and that
among the killed were General Zukat chief
of the frontier guard, and General Weitep-
ring, chief of the customs service. -Four

the custom mouse at Herby, who was In
charge OF the money and who was in the
same car as the generals. They also wound

Herby, M. Demienco, who was killed and
not the cashier.
Col Brzezicki and other passengers were
compelled to give up all their personal cash.

nese to be directing the Korean reVoiu-
tionists in the south, were to have been
arrested. but they managed to escape,
though a Gordon of troops was spread about
the palace. Some Japanese papers, COM
menting on the situation, say that as Korea

tectorate strong measures should be used.
The Asahi a prominent Toxic newspaper,
deprecates the Japanese action in takir z
possession of the palace and recommends
that the Koreans work out their own
fate.
One reason for the guarding of the palace
was that japanese troops were to prevent

ST. PETERSBURG July 2S.-New OBJ
stacles have been encountered by Premier
Stolypin in his efforts TO secure the serv-
ices in a reorganzed cabinet of men of
standing I'm Russia outside of official life.
The conditions laid down by NJ Guchkor
and Prince Lvoff are understood to have
been rejected, and they have definitely re-
fused to enter the ministry. This presages
the practical shipwreck OF the entire
scheme, since without the participation Of
the non-bureaucratic elements II would be
difficult to convince even the conservatives
and liberals of the sincerity of the govern
ment's promises.
Meanwhile NJ. Stolypin is energetically
and continually trying to persuade the
country that his policy of strong handed
reform" does not involve reaction. He has
announced in the provinces that the pale"
Will be granted TO zemtsvo institutions and
denies that the government intends to in
terfere with the legal electoral campaigns
of the various parties, in virtue of which
he has authorized the holding of a ma
tiOnal congress of constitutional democrats

He has instructed the police of st. Peters
burg not to interfere with the Jewish
members Of the outlawed parliament, who,
utlutr the Jaw. when tHeN ceased 10 enjoy
the immunity entaied by their membership
of parliament, forfeited the right TO remain
the capital more than twenty-four hours.
Deeds of Liberalism
Such half way deeds of liberalism how
ever. are scorned by the Rech, which to-
day says that the situation is no different
from what il was under Count Witte when
the latter, as premier. was Filling the
world with liberal declarations, while his
wicked partner, Durnovo, was putting on
the screws again" The Rech adds: I'VE
hear the voice of Jacob, but we feel the
hand of Esau"
Five additional members of the council
OF the empire. NJ Shishkoff, Verkowsky
Lappodanilevsky, Bereleshine and Vernad-
sky, have formally resigned. They have
signed an open letter setting forth that the
retention Of their mandates would be equiv

parliament and the restoration of the bu-
Teaucrauc regime, enabling II to pass the
budget Of 1907 without the approval of the
representatives of the people.
The Rech says that In spite OF his ad-
vanced age NJ. Pobedonostseff formerly
procurator general of the holy synod has
the dominant influence OVER the emperor.

UTICA, N. Y, July 2s.-Former Judge
Alton B. Parker in an interview here to-
day discussed the coming state election. He
declared that the democratic party was
rich in men who could fill the office of gov
ernor. and mentioned among others ex-
Judge D. Cady Herrick the party's nominee
at the last gubernatorial election; John B.
Stanchfield of Elmira, Mayor Adam of Buff
falo, Francis Burton Harrison of New York
city, John G. Milburn of Buffalo. William
Church Osborne of Putnam county, District
Attorney William Travers Jerome of New
York city, Justice William F. Gaynor, Mar
tin w. Littleton and Edward NJ Grout of
possibly two exceptions, none of these men
was a candidate, yet he did not believe that
any of them would refuse to serve If called
upon.
But" said the interviewer, you have
not mentioned Mr. Hearst, who is discussed
every day as candidate.
THE last utterance of Mr.. Hearst have
read" SAID the Judge, was to the effect
that he intended to accept the nomination
of the Independence League He stated in
an interview in the Brooklyn Eagle of June
IL: If am nominated by the independence
party it will be on a platform that ex-
presses the principles believe in, and will
make the campaign that platform and
no other consideration will enter into the
matter.
No Bargain to Be Made.
There will be no deal or bargain made
with the leaders of any political machine,
but every one indorsing the sentiments Of
the independence party will be invited to
support it's candidates. That language is
unambiguous, and announces clearly his in
tentien to be candidate on the platform
only of the Independence League"
"But that was June 12," said the inter-
viewer. .tand since then men who were
at work during the; year building up the
Independence league have been openly
striving for the control of the democratic
caucuses in order to secure delegates to
the democratic convention favorable to Mr..
Hearst. and such delegates have been
elected. 1t is asserted in many quarters.
and. indeed believed that the Independence
League was organized to compel the demo-
cratic party to accept Mr. Hearst as its
nominee"
while L know the judge replied, "that
such assertions are constantly made and
some delegates to the democratic conven-
ton favorable to Mt. Hearst have been
chosen. it would seem as If all this should
be credited to oveTzealous friends, for GER
tainly Mr.. Hearst is too shrewd man to
believe it possible that democratic con-
so absolutely pussilanimous as to surrender
to one demanding that the party deliver up
to him the honor and power he covets or
