The Russian premier, Peter A.
stolypin, died Monday night from
bullet wounds received at the hands
of Dimitri Bogroff, an assassin, dur
ing a gala performance at the muni-
cipal theatre Thursday evening Of
last week at Kiev, Russia.
Almost unit! the last the premier
was conscious and for half an hour
during the early part Of the evening
his wife alone was at his bedside.
Frequently he called Give me the
letter. Take it away. Give me a
red pencil Lift me- Light up
Premature reports Of the premier's
death were current for hours before
it occurred. Several missions and
embassies were misled by the reports
and notified their governments. The
authorities at first decided TO con-
;eal the news of the preimer's death
until morning fearing anti-Jewish
outbreaks. This was found to be i'm
possible and after the announcement
was made all the attention of the
authorities was centred in the pro-
lection of the Jews.
Residents of the Jewish community
were panic stricken and begged for
protection and 10000 troops were
nured into Kiey to prevent excesses.
! VI. Kokovosoff, minister of finance,
Who was appointed acting premier
,fter NJ. Stolypin was shot, has sent
premtory circular to the various
governors on the maintenance of Or
Ter.
Gov. Gen. Trepoff has issued a pub
&c notice that disorders will not be
tolerated and stringent regulations
are published forbidding the carry
ing of arms. 1t is officially announc-
| C that the manoeuvers are ended
md that the troops are returning to
kiev. Outgoing trains are crowded
and double trains and extra trains
are leaving Kiev every hour. Hun.
dreds of well-to-do Jews are depart
ing from Kiev.
Peter A. Stolypin was tall, hand,
some man of 55 years. His short
cropped hair was gray, but his beard
was dark. He has been described
generally as an administrator Of abil'
| ity. He was neither a bureaucrat OF
a reactionary in the ordinary sense
Of those terms and has been said te
have been imbued with Liberalism
but determined to put down the revo
Iutionary movements at any cost.
AS governor of Saratov he toor
such steps against the terrorist ant
Liberals alike as won him the de
testation of the advanced parties, ant
his life was attempted in 1905. HI
was appointed premier by imperia
ukase on July %, 1906, and stamped
out the revolution that had beer
| growing to threatening pTopotion:
during the premiership of NJ. White
and which Whites successor, N. Cor
emykin, had not been able to control
| Stolypin's life was attempted II
August of that year when boml
that killed 60 persons was exploded
al his home. The minister escaped
with slight injuries, but two of hi:
children were wounded. AS minis
ter of interior NJ. Stolypin came into
Office with the duma and when hi
made his first speech before that body
he was greeted with cries OF 'mur
derer."
The opposition's hatred Of VI. Stoly'
| pin reached crisis last March
when. the upper chamber Of the du
ma having rejected his bill for the
establishment Zemstvo or local gov
ernment in the western provinces the
premier resigned, and only consented
| To resume Office when the emperor a.
greed to Dissolve the duma and pro.
mulgate the measure under the au,
thority of the fundamental laws.
