 assigned to the murderous task by the
 revolutionary organizations, The courtmartial was attended by 20 officials, six of them having been wit
 nesses of the shooting, among them be- ing Minister of Justice Chtcheglovitoff. In view of Bogroffs plea of guilty,
 however. none of them was called to the stand. and Colonel Kuliabko, chief
 of the secret police, was examined. It was through the instrumentality or
 Kuliabko that Bogroff gained admit tance to the theatre to assassinate M. Stolypin
 Bogroff declined counsel. Everyone was amazed at his calmnesS and other wise the firmness of his voice as he re- lated the history of his life. He also described how he had deceived the police in getting the oportunity 10 as sassinate the premier, but did not be- tray any of his aecomplices. He heard the sentence of death pronounced with out even a tremor
 The sentence must be confirmed by the commander of the military district before Bogroff can be hanged. The funeral of Premier Stolypin was held today in the Pechersky monastery and was the occasion for universal mourning.

While the requiem was being sung monks strewed the crypt with flowers.
 After the ceremony had been com pleted three volleys were fired by the troops as a military honor to the dead. During the day numerous subscrip- tions were received toward the erection of a national monument to M. Stolypin. On it will be inscribed the words he uttered in the duma: You want d

London Comment

| London, September 22.-The result oi i the Canadian election has put great hearl | in the tariff reform movement here and has been received by the unionists with great enthusiasm.
 | Frederick D. Smith, unionist member oi parliament for Liverpool. says Canada | example will be of immense encourage | ment to the tariff reformers here and 8 | corresponding rebuff to the free trade while Lord Willoughby de Broke declares | he is delighted that Canada has not for | gotten the old country. | Andrew Bonar Law. unionist member oi parliament for the Dulwich division ut Camberwell believes the results of the | elections will hasten the triumph of i'm perial preference. According to l.. S. | Amery, the journalist, the election Is the most important decisive imperial event since the South African war. He declares | Canada has given the lead which Eng | land must follow
 William R. Peel, leader of the municipal {! reform party, says the Canadians de- | feated an American conspiracy to absort their country and that imperial recip- | rocity now Is certain. Sir William Max well declares that time alone can make clear the far reaching significance of the | victory by which Canada set the seal on a new declaration of imperial faith and | unity.
 viscount Ridley, former secretary to Lord Aberdeen when he was governor oi Canada, says:
 "The door bolted by Premier Asauth has been flung open again by Canada. '"rhe tariff reformers will work with renewed vigor and with certainty of sue cess"

 showed his countrymen the way to a new policy. says:
 ''I'he Canadians, it Is clear, are not vet pre- pared for the new departure which threatened to, if it did not actually,
 make breach in the policy in which for generations they have been nurtured by both parties
 The paper finds many grounds for en- ccuragement and consolation. II adds: Two say frankly that we had rather
 that Canadians voted against reciprocity
 ir the belief that it would weaken the imperial tic than they voted for it with
 the deliberate intention of producing that result"
 The Gazette thinks also that the Canad-
 isns are only at the beginning of the
 question of. reciprocity, and that under a
 new redistribution act, and as the west fills up the liberals will have better
 chance of carrying it. The paper fur
 ther reminds the conservatives that a
 part of their success was due to Bour-
 assa, and it would be a mistake to count
 the Quebec vote as permanently hostile
 to reciprocity.
