STOLyP|N IS DEAD
OF HIS WOUNDS
Russian Official Passes Away
From Assassin's Bullet.
JEWS FLEE; FEAR MASSACRE
Thousands Crossing Border for Safe
ty-kiev Under, Martial Law
Two Hundred Friends of
Lawyer Bogroff Arrested.

KieV.-The Russian premier, Peter
A. StoIypin, died from the bull
let wounds received at the hands
of an assassin named Dimitry Bogroff,
a Jewish lawyer, during a gala per-
Torrance at the municipal theater last
Thursday evening. Almost until the
last the premier was conscious, and
for half an hour before he passed
away his wife alone was at his bed
side.
With the passing of Russia's iron
man" the emperor faces a situation
which all the bewildering under
ground resources of the car are at
work to combat.
Jews, fearing a massacre more vio-
lent than any yet recorded in Russia's
black history, are fleeing from the
country in hordes. Hundreds left the
province of Kiev Immediately upon
hearing of the premier's death, and as
the news reaches the outlying prov
inces thousands OF the prosecuted peo-
pie are crossing the borders for safe
ty. The utmost excitement prevails
In the government centers, where dill
gent search Is being made for others
of the revolutionary band of which
Bogroff is believed to be a member.
Every known acquaintance of Bog
rolf has been arrested. More than
200 Of his friends, among them many
prominent lawyers, are in prison. Bog
rolf, plunged into mental delirium by
the news of his victims Death, is fur
nishing the police with every detail Of
the circumstances leading up to his
crime. He is said to have revealed
the names of other high officials
marked for death and extra precau
tons are being taken to guard these
persons from assassination. Bogroff
had maintained an attitude Of conf
dence up to the time Of the premiers
first sinking spell, but when told that
M. Stolypin could not live the prison
er became respondent and talked
freely of his act
Kiev is practically under martial
law. Armed Cossacks are patrOlling
the streets and few of the residents
venture out of doors, fearing arrest
as suspects. The streets about the
sanitarium where the premier died
have been closed to all traffic. The
secret police are alert to detect the
first indication OF revolutionary up
rising consequential upon the death OF
the man whose summary methods
caused him to be viciously hated and
feared by the terrOriStS
NJ. Kokovtseff, the minister of fl
nance, who was appointed acting pre-
mier after M. Stolypin was shot, has
sent a peremptory circular to the vari-
Gus governors on the maintenance Of
order. 1t is stated on excellent au-
thority that M. Kokovtseff will be APP
pointed premier.
Emperor Nicholas left Tchernigov
for Kiev.

REVOLT IN SPAIN STARTED.
Martial Law Proclaimed in Several
Cities.

Madrid. - Anarchy is rampant
throughout all Spain. The end OF
the monarchy is predicted by the
leaders of the revolutionary move
ment as a result of the spreading OF
labor strikes to many of the larger
cities.
Martial law has been proclaimed in
several cities, but there are not enough
loyal troops to keep order and riot
ing is reported from all parts.
The revolutionary movement which
began with the general strike in Bill
bao, is threatening the entire country.
The railroad men are on the point OF
striking. The step taken by Premier
Canalejas in declaring martial law in
the centers of disturbance appears
only to have aggravated the toilers.
Valencia was the center of turmoil
when a strike Of revolutionary signifi-
canoe started. Valencia Is maritime
city of Spain, ten miles southeast of
Madrid. Martial law has been pro-
claimed and the streets are occupied
by troops
The government is considering sus-
pension Of constitutional guarantees
throughout Spain should the situation
resulting from the many workingmen's
strikes become more serious.
