Horrible Atrocities

T.. l1- y = IL : (
The peasants committed terrible
atrocities in the Buzeo district, and
the troops sent thither had orders to
suppress the disturbances at any
cost. 1t is still impossible to give
even an approximate estimate of the
numbers killed or wounded since the
beginning of the disorders, but there
is good reason to believe that the
reports have not been exaggerated
and that when the totals finally arc
learned they will be greater than is
now supposed. No less than seven
army officers have been killed or
wounded. 1t is reported that inssthe
northern Moldavia district, where
the rioting was temporarily suspend
ed, the peasants intend to recon-
mence their pillaging during the
Jewish Passover If the promises
made to them by the government are
not fulfilled. Some of the measures
being adopted by the authorities are
most severe.
Premier sturdza yesterday secured
the unanimous adoption of bill by
both houses Of parliament authoriz-
ing the government, in view of the
grave circumstances throughout the
country, to declare a state Of siege
wherever this may be necessary.
This step can be taken however, only
by royal decree.

trist Attorney Jerome hurried away
from the criminal courts building,
declining absolutely to say one word
about the commissions work. The
most important feature of the days
proceedings was the decision Of the
commission to limit the scope of It's
inquiry to the exact language of the
statute, to determine solely the
question as to whether or not Harry

the nature of the court proceedings

Report Upon the Extraordinary De
post Found There.
From The Tribune Buresu.1

Washington. Sept 2z-The extraordinary deposit
Of meteorites Canyon DabIo, Arizona. which
has occasioned much comment and discussion
among leading geologists OF the country. is be-
ing made the subject OF study by Professor
George =. Merrill and Writ Tassin. OF the depart
ment of geology Of tho United States National Mu
The Smithsonian Institution last spring
sent expedition 10 this region for the special
purpose or examining the deposit. and prellmi-
nary report has just been published
The results thus far reached show that new
type of metecrio iron from the locality and re-
markahe specimen of fused silicious sandstone
have been found. They further bring out the fact
that the severai thousand pieces of meteoric iron
already discovered the spot landed on the earth
several hundred years ago before the last eruption
of the volcanoes north of Flagstaff. Ariz. and per-
haps a the time with the formation of
craterlike hole considerable size. the origin Of
which has for some years been matter of specu
Iation. There remains the possibility, therefore,
that several centuries ago either one huge mass of
nrteoric material thousands of smaller masses
struck the earth with such force at this spot in
Arizona as depression in the surface OF
the land.
A complete series OF the meteorites has been
deposited In tho National Museum. and are, in part
on exhibition ir the Hall Of Geology.
