him in carrying out his commission. II was
planned to throw n bomb at Count Witte's car
riage from the window of a cheap boarding
house on Kamenny Island while the count was

It is pursuant to this policy that Mr. Bishop goes

resignation OF Chief Engineer Stevens. These re
ports probably emanated from the same sources.
Secretary Taft recently expressed high regard
for Mr.. Hshop and a proof Of his confidence
in the secretary is 10 be found in the fact that
Mr. Taft and the chief engineer have chosen him
for duties OF far greater Importance than those
which he has performed here. Mr. Bishop will
