ing the limitation of ornaments. This

TWO OTHERS ARE KILLED
SECOND ATTEMPT ON HIS LIFE

ALEXANDROPOL, Russia July 16--Gen.
Alikhanoff, former governor general of Tiff
lis, Madame Glieboff, wife of Gen. Glieboff,
and the coachman who was driving their
carriage, were blown to pieces by the bombs
thrown at their conveyance at 2:3O O'Clock
this morning.
A son of Gen. Alikhanoff and a daughter
of Gen. GIieboff sustained serious injuries.
The party was returning to the residence
of Gen. Alikhanof from his club. The bombs
were hurled in Beboutoff street.
Gen. Alikhaloff was nicknamed the wild
beast" by the Caucasian members of the
lower house of parliament. who often refer
red to his cruelties in the Kutais district,
where he led a number Of punitive expedi-
tions to stamp out disorders. His rigor-
Gus methods to this end brought down upon
him the enmity of the revolutionists.
Gen. Alikhanof was seriously injured by
bomb at Borjam May 80 of last year.
This bomb was thrown just he was about
to take a train for Tiflis. Its explosion Sc
riously wounded. in addition to the gen.
eral, a member of his staff and several Cos
sacks. The remainder of the Cossacks fired
into the crowd, Xxi ling many persons and
then burned to the ground the buildings into
which the people had fled.
Gen. Alikhanoff, the "pacifier" of Kutais
province, was the most hated man in the
Caucasus.
For several months In the fall of 1908 the
government was completely in the hands
of the revolutionists, they being in full pos
session of the railroad from the Black sea
to Suram tunnel, which they had blown
up previously. Gen. Alikhanoff sent a coll
umn of Cossacks, who laid waste the fertile
Rion valley. Hundreds of the inhabitants
were slaughtered.
Many of the men were driven into the
mountains, and the women were given over
to the Cossacks. Fifty villages We're wiped
out. The atrocities committed attracted the
attention of the entire country.
Gen. Alikhanoff took part in the Russian
advance in central Asia, and his expedition
to Murkhab river in 1SS4-5. known as the
"pendjdeh incident" brought Great Britain
and Russia to the verge of war.

HIS DARK HORSE"
SECRETARY EDWARDS SAYS IT IS
GOV. JOHNSON OF MINNESOTA.

Mr. Charles A. Edwards, secretary of the
democratic congressional committee, has re-
turned from a visit to Louisville, in the
course of which he got peep at Col Henry
Watterson's dark horse for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination. "Marse
Henry" has kept his stable padlocked up to
this time, but Mr.. Edwards says he unlock
ed the door for him.
"Co!. Wattersons candidate is Gov. john
son of Minnesota" said Mr.. Edwards. Col
Watterson asserted that Gov. Johnson was
the one democrat who was absolutely avail
able, against whom no faction in the party
entertains animosity, who has record of
carrying strongly republican state twice,
and who Is at this time before the nation
without flaw of any sort. Col. Watterson
added that in his opinion w. ]. Bryan COM

be nominated whom Bryan does not indorse;
that Bryan could have the head of the
ticket if he wanted it, and that it will be
only necessary for him to indicate that he
is for a given candidate to insure his Sc
lection.

BRYAN'S POLICIES
SENATOR MARTIN SAYS VlR-
GINA WILL ACCEPT NEITHER.

Senator Martin of Virginia is in town
today at the Raleigh Hotel He is looking
after some affairs for constituents and en-
joying Washington's resources as sum
mer resort. That may be coming it little
strong in view of the humidity today, but
there is nothing like boosting your own
town.
Senator Martin said to Star man, in the
course of conversation on politics generally,
that Virginia, while loyal in the main to
Mr.. Bryan, would not accept either of Mr..
Bryans policies Of government ownership
of railroads or initiative and referendum.
ours is a representative government
said Senator Martin, land those proposed
policies are not features of representative
government" He added that if Mr.. Bryan
should be nominated Virginia in the con-
vention would vote against a plank in the
platform providing either for government
ownership or the initiative and referendum.
What is this new suggestion made to
President Roosevelt, that the government
should acquire stock in railroads? What
would that be but government ownership ?
If the government did not own the con-
trolling interest in the stock there would be
no advantage in having representatives on
the board of directors; and if it did own
the majority that would be government
ownership.
Senator Martin was asked about his re-
ported prospects for selection as minority
leader in the Senate next session, but said
he knew nothing of the situation at all and
was loath to talk. 1t is known, however,
that Senator Martin has told some CT his
friends that he does not want to undertake
the leadership, even if his party collea CUES
should desire him to serve. To those friends
Senator Martin has expressed his reaiiza-
ton OF the difficulties of the pest, due to
lack OF democratic cooperation. His friend 5
think, however that he would feel obliged
to take it if his colleagues demand that ne
should.

PROBING AN EXPLOSION
TURKISH THEORY OF BOMB IN
CIDENT NEAR EMBASSY.

CONsTANTINOPLE, July 16-The author
of the bomb explosion Sunday night in
front of the summer quarters of the Ameri-
can embassy at Therapia a suburb of this
city, as well as the motive for the act, prob
ably will remain a mystery. The efforts of
the authorities to throw light on the matter
have been quite without result.
The Turkish theory is that the explosion
of this bomb had nothing to do with the
American embassy, but that its explosion
was connected with a possible attempt upon
the life of George Christich natural son
of the late King Milan of Servia, who re-
sides with his mother in house adjoining
the embassy. 1t is recalled that on several
previous occasions-the last one February 5
of this year-alleged attempts have been
made upon the life of George Christich. But
few people believe that this theory is cor
rect, regarding these reported attempts at
murder as nothing more than means of
advertising the existence of the pretender
to the throne of Servia.
Only Few Window Panes Broken.
According to another version the bomb
which appears to have been made of ordi-
nary powder. incased in a shell of lead,
was found in boat house in the vicinity
by some children at play, who carried it
off. Finding the package getting warm in
their hands, they dropped it in the streets.
II then exploded, woundng three little
girls of the party.
Only a few window panes were broken in
the American embassy. Ambassador Laish-
man, Mrs. Leishman and one Of their
daughters were dining out at the time.
Only Miss Nancy Leshman was at homa
The explosion caused a panic in the
neighborhood until it was learned that no
serious damage had been done.
