TerroriSts Had Plotted Destruction of
Police Headquarters.


ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 29.-Gen-
eral Maximonrsky was killed here by a
young girl revOlutionist named Raga-
zinnikova
When admitted to his Office she drew
a revolver and fired seven shots point
blank into the generals body, six Of
them taking effect.
The assassin. who was captured I'm
mediately after firing the shots, IN
hesitatlDgly avowed herself an ennis
sary OF the northern flying section OF
the Social Revolutionists.
The assassination Of General Maxi
moffsky apparently was designed to
be only a prelude to a greater act Of
terrorism, the destruction Of the head
quarters Of the secret police, which
has been the object OF at least three
terrorist plots Of recent months.
The girl slayer Of General Maximoff-
sky was last night identified as Mile
Ragozinnikova OF Perm province, the
daughter of a teacher In the Imperial
Conservatory Of Music. She was taken
TO the police station, and when her
agitated attempts to free her bound
hands and reach toward her breast
led to an investigation it was found
that she carried inside her cOrsage a
case containing thirteen pounds OF a
high explosive. a charge powerful
enough TO blow the entire building and
its contents TO pieces.

went out of their way to uncere-

THE CANE AND TIRE pLAsTEEEn.

We received "a personal letter from
one OF our subscribers in Turtle
Greek. Pennsylvania in which he
mildly criul1es our remarks rcia-
tive to- the presentation of a gold
headed cane to President Roosevelt
by that Negro rlaeterer of Keokuk,
Iowa upon the occasion OF his recent
visit there. This gentleman wholly
misundorstauds the tone and tenor OF
our remarks and he draws couclu-
sions foreign Co every act and pre-
copt OF our years Of public service.
He states that we infer that men
who use their hands should not
use their brains. but lot that 20
the politician TO do" We fail to
find tho grounds for amy such infer
ence. All honest labor is honorable,
and the laboring men of the country
constitute the bone and sinew" Of
the nation. IL is the Negro that
constitutes the backbone of the
South in the raising of cotton. -orn.
wheat. tobacco. barley. rye. sugar.
etc. but this same Negro is q nonen-
tity. q misnt when you place him TO
presenting eold-headed canes to
Governors OF States and TO a Presi-
dent of the United States I'm person
rather than by proxy.
We have educated other Negroes
for just this purpose and ga most
cases. they are the sons of the Ne
groes of the tyne to which a refer
ence IS made. The Negro washer-wo-
men. cooks, nurses, chambermaids,
and the Negro drivers, buffers, host
lers. farmers, porters, and persons in
mental employment throughout the
country are sending their children to
the public schools and 30 the high
schools and colleges for the purpose
Of fitting them for the duties of MAX
ing public addresses and delivering
public orations in a manner credita-
bic alike to themselves. their parents
and the race with which they are
identified.
In this section, when the Negro
coachmen want to make a public pre-
sentation. not only 10 an Official of tn
government but TO one of their own
officers, they invite a minister. a
teacher, an orator or some other
competent person to make the ad-
dress for them. He becomes their
spokesman and it is understood that
they are performing the act for them
selves through a competent represen-
tative.
The colored people of Richmond
have sense enough to secure a plas-
terer TO plaster a house, a carpenter
to repair a frame structure, and a
brick layer to build a brick mansion,
a blacksmith to shoe horse, but
any OF these workmen will seek a
minister to preach sermon, a lin
quist to teach languages. a musical
instructor to instruct in music. and
