In Precarious Position.

Newport, R. l., Feb S.--With her stern settled a little lower in the wa ter the big steel tug Richmond of
 the Seaboard Transportation com
 pany of New York, which struck a
 rock in lower Narragansett bay last
 night. still rested to-day in her pre- carious position. The sea was calm and the wind light from the north. Should the breeze swing around to the south, it is expected the boat will go to pieces. One of the crew of the tug Solicitor was sent aboard the Richmond last night to stand by her while the crew of the Prices Neck life saving station kept a sharp look out to take him off in case the sea should roughen. No attempt was made early to-day to pull on the stranded craft and it was thought best to await the arrival of the most powerful wrecking apparatus before there could be any hope of saving the Richmond.

Governor ot Penza Shot Down While He Was Leaving a
 Theater Last Evening
KILLED TWO OTHERS
Fonnd He Could Not Escape He Turn. cd Revolver on HimSell--BulletS We're Poisoned Assassin is
 Also Dead.

Penza, Russia, Feb 8.-S. A. Alex androvsky, governor of Penza. was shot and killed by a young man as he was leaving the theater last night. In a desperate attempt to escape the assassin also killed the assistant chief of police and policeman and wound ed the manager of the theater. Be- fore the terrorist could be captured he shot himself and during the night died in hospital. The assassin was not identified. The bullets which he used in his revolver were subsequent ly discovered to be poisoned.
 M. Alexandrovsky, who was we'll known as chief commissioner of the Red Cross in the field during the war between Russia and Japan, had just stepped out of the door of the the ater when youth pushed his way through the crowd and shot the gov ernor in the neck. He fell dead on the spot. The assistant chief of po- lice, who was standing near the door of the theater, tried to draw his re- vOlver. but was shot dead by the ter rorist before he was able to do so. Seeing that 1t was impossible to get through the crowds outside the build ing the murderer dashed into the the ater, firing wildly. The manager at tempted to grapple with the murder CT, who fired at him but missed and killed policeman who was in the line of fire. In second attempt to capture the assassin the manager was severely wounded. The terrorist fled through what he evidently believed to be one of the exits, but found him. self in the ladies' cloak room. An attendant. realizing the situation. pointed to some stairs as a means of egress and so soon as the assassin disappeared the attendant locked the door behind him. The stairs. how ever, only led to a loft and the mur- derer subsequently was found there unconscious from a bullet wound, from which he died later in the hos pital.

SNOW GIVING TROUBLE.
Teamsters and Horses Suffer Hard
 ship on Baldwin Street.


 The city has very large number of men at work carting the snow ofi the streets, and while considerable headway is being made 1t will be several days yet before the drifts are cleared from all the public ways. Teamst4rs have been driven almost to desperation since the heavy snow- fall and horses have suffered great hardship in hauling heavy loads out |of the way to make room for trolley cars. The situation on Baldwin street Is pitiable and the city gov |ernment should make an effort to re- move the source of trouble, as far as 1t is possible to do this. at the earliest opportunity. It was wicked to have permitted the trolley people to go up there and lay rails to a grade that suited their own notion and then let the public think what they pleased about 1t. The city should make good with the people and the expense should come out of the general treas- ury rather than by direct assessment. That street was ruined while public oficials whose duty 1t was to see that public interests were protected were flirting with John E. Sewell and AL Ian w. Paige. To be sure. new men are at the helm now, but that does not relieve the city from the respon- sibility for the neglect of duty on the part of their precedessors.

NEW FRENCH LAW
Socialists Pleased With New In- come Measure About 10 Be
 Adopted
ROYALISTS OPPOSE IT

Paris, Feb 8.-The extreme social ist-republican newspapers to-day hail the cabinets income measure as be- ing a great reform and as justifying the democracy's confidence in the government.
 The more moderate republican pa- pers are less enthusiastic. The Re- publique Franchise thinks it is quite as negotiable as the old royalist system, as 1t simply shifts the privi- leges formerly enjoyed by the richer to the poorer classes"
 The Eclaire believes the measure will drive French capital abroad and that foreign bankers will be the gathers.
 The Gaulois charges Finance Min ister Caillaux with hypocrisy and lack of courage in nominally ex- empting rentes.
 The Figaro thinks parliaments will assume a heavy responsibility in adopting the measure.
 The royalist organs are extremely hostile to the new taxes, fearing that they will become an instrument for their oppression as the local munich palities and communes where the re- |publicans have majority could as- sess the Catholics and conservatives at ruinous figures.

Bfn Now Before Congress on Immigration Question Hav-
 ing . Hard Time
THE EDUC UCATIONAL TEST
One oi the Barriers te lis Passage The Money Requirement is Also Barrier 10 lis Becoming
 a Law.

Washington, Feb S.-There is yet no prospect of an agreement on the pending bill to amend the immigra- tion laws and the indications are that the bill will fail with the close of the 59th congress on March 4th. The principal points of difference between the house and the senate are the ed ucational test provided by a senate amendment and a house amendment by Representative Littauer, of New York, waiying requirements as to the amount of money an immigrant must have if the immigrant is fleeing from religious persecution. The senate op- pdses the latter amendment strenu- 0usly on the ground that 1t would open the doors wide for the unhinder- ed admission of certain classes of im- migrants. The educational test is op- posed by the house conferees The resolution offered by Representative Gardner of Massachusetts that the house conferees be instructed to ac- cept the senate amendment and aban- don the house amendments is tied up in the committee on rules of the house.

wALToN's DECLARATION.
He Foreshadows the Reform of the
 House of Lords.

London, Feb S.--The attorney gen. eral, Sir John L. Walton, who pre- sumably spoke with the full knowl- edge of the intentions of the govern ment, made an important declaration in a speech at Leeds last night, fore shadowing the government program for a reform of the house of lords. He said that the grim and serious work" upon which the liberals were entering, would mean a revolution and involve two or three dissolu- tions." He added that the house of lords was entirely "out of harmony with modern domestic institutions and must go. The government would endeavor to give effect to the will of the people by bills, which the peers would probably throw out, leading to a combination of the crown and people to defeat the aris- tocracy."
 Attorney General Walton recog- nized that the struggle would be pro- longed and exciting and would mean a complete encouragement of the constitutional and political forces.

Schn,itz's Opinion.

Chicago, Feb 8.-Mayor Eugene Schmitz of San Francisco, who with four members of the board of educa- tion and the superintendent of schools of that city, is en route to Washington in response to an invi- tat!on from President Roosevelt, said last night that he would concede his position on the Japanese school ques- tion rather than see 1t become in- furious to the, country.
 We have prepared no case be- cause we don't even know exactly what is the purport of our miSsfOn," he said. "The president did not say what the nature of the hearing would be further than that we were to have discussion on the Japanese matter.
 T cannot say that the matter will reach an entirely satisfactory settle ment during our visit, but we hope 1t will. The law, as matter of fact, is nothing new. but the enforcement of it seems to have created an agita- ton. The law to segregate the Mon- golians in the schools was made in 1871, but the Japanese claim they are not Mongolians. The Chinese al- ways have been segregated in the public schools. The Japanese think they are better than the Chinese. don't care to criticise President Roosevelt. tI Is simply a question of national treaty rights and state rights"

Must Ignore Labor oucstiou.

Tokio. Feb S.-While ignoring the anti-Japanese feeling in a portion of the American press. the Japanese public is almost unanimous in de- manding that the solution of the San Francisco school question must not involve the labor question. A mutual treaty restricting the immigration of laborers Is condemned here as a one- sided concession. sacrificing Japan's honor without any recompense what ever. It is felt that nothing deroga- tory to national honor, however slight. must be admitted in the diplo- matic relations of the two nations.
