RUSSIAN PREMIER STOLYPIN
 WITHDRAWS HIS RESIGNATION

St. Petersburg, March 24.-Premier Stolypin, who last Monday sent in his resignation, has agreed to remain in office and the cabinet crisis there fore is at an end
 An imperial decree issued today sus- bends M Trepoff and M. Dernovo, mem- bers of the council of empire, from all sittings of the council until January 1912 M Stolypin has insisted on the removal of these reactionary oppon- ents of his policy as the price for his retaining office and 1t is understood that 1t was the negotiation of this point that lead to a prolongation o1 the cabinet crisis.
 Punishments in other forms will be metcd out to other members of the coun- ell of empire who participated in the discomfiture of Premier Stolypin by causing the rejection by the council of the essential features of his Zemstvo bill, which provided for self government in the nine western provinces. This bill was rejected as whole today.
 The retention by M Stolypin of the premiership and the decision to punish Trepoff, Durnovo and others who antag- onized him, was arrived at after con siderable hesitation on the part of Elm peror Nicholas. At first Stolypin's resig- nation was accepted and negotiations were entered into with M. Kokovsoff, minister of finance, to accept the pre- miership, but his conditions included full liberty in the selection of his cabinnet. This latter condition proved acceptable. The chorus of approval for the appoint ing of Kokoysoff by the Russian liberal press and it's ill-concealed jubilation over the fall of Stolypin were ably employed by interested parties to persuade his majesty to accept Stolypin's demands.

Aug. 25.-The taking of testimony
in the case of Henry Clay Beattie,

ed here to take the stand and tell how
he purchased the shot gun for his

that was used to kill Mrs. Beattie

this testimony.
Beattie is himself conducting the
defense, although the lawyers are
doing the work under his direction
The prisoner has suddenly shown a
deep interest in the case and is con-
tinually taking notes, during the trial.
Deputy Sheriff Jarrolls, took the
stand today ana recited the "bearded
man" story which he says Beattie told
him after the shooting, and describ-
ed how Beattie ran the machine. in
which his wife was killed, back to the
scene of the shooting. Beattie be-
came excited during this examina-
tion and talked volubly to his atror-
neys.
Deputy Sheriff snyder. next told Of
how he had taken the blood hounds

were riding. This caused a ripple

a severe ss-eyamination by the
attorneys for the defense failed to
shake the Goputys testimony.

found a shotgun in a cluster of
bushes the day following the murder,
was the ueXt witness. She identified
the gun. which Paul Beattie claims
to have purchased for his cousin. as
the one she found in the bushes.

town where the crime was commit
ted a few miles from this city.
He IS today unconcerned about the
matter and says that he is confident
that he will be able to prove that he
did not commit the deed.

is that the accused ruan was to have
been married last night to Miss Nina
Taylor, the daughter Of a prominent
family of Newburg, a ne.ghboring
town. She was summoned before the
coroner's jury but could throw no
light on the tragedy.

h father because the latter had nos
given him as much money as he
thought he should have had in view

that he was fully dressed when he
ran from the house to give the alarm.

put on my clothes and get out Of the
house last night ! visited my sweet
