Throughout the ordeal he displayed the
greatest fortitude.
Jews Fleeing Country.
With the passing of Russias iron
man" the empire faces situation
which all the bewildering underground
resources of the czar are at work to
combat. Jews, fearing massacre
more violent than any yet recorded in
Russias black history, are fleeing
from the country in hordes. Hundreds
left the province of Kieff Immediately
upon hearing of the premiers death
and as the news reached the outlying
provinces thousands of the prosecuted
people crossed tha borders for safety.
The utmost excitement prevails in the
| government centers, where diligent
| search is being made for others of
the revolutionary band of which Bo-
CROFT is believed to be member.
Wholesale Arrests.
Every known acquaintance of Bo-
CROFT has been arrested. More than
200 of his friends, among them many
prominent lawyers, are in prison. Bo-
CROFT, plunged into mental delirium by
the news of his victims death, is fur
nishing the police with every detail
of the circumstances up to his crime
He is said to have revealed the names
of other high officials marked for
death and extra precautions are being
taken to guard these persons from
assassination. Bogroff had maintained
an attitude of confidence up to the
time of the premier's first sinking
spell, but when told that M. Stolypin
could not live the prisoner became
Respondent and talked freely of his
act. Kiev is practically under martial
law.
Was Trained as Diplomat.
| Premier Peter Arkadievitch> Stolypin
was born in st. Petersburg in 1863 His
mother was a Gorchakov and his father
was one of the prominent generals of
| the army. From infancy he was trained
| for a life in diplomatic circles. After
| an elementary school education he was
sent to the university of st. Petersburg
to study law. Immediately after grad
uation he was given a position in the
| law department of Russia at ST. Peters,
burg. In 1888 he was appointed govern
or of the province of Korno, and few
| years later was made governor of Grodno.
In May. 1906, Stolypin succeeded Gore
| mylSim, the first minister of the interior.
He served in this capacity for four years,
when he was appointed minister of agri-
| culture.
First Attempt on Life.
1t was in his first year as minister
of the interior that the first attempt was
made upon his life. On July 22, 1906, a
bomb was thrown into his house by an
| archists His three-year- old son was
killed and several servants received fatal
injuries, but Stolypin escaped uninjured
Numerous other attempts to take his life
were made after he became member
of the cars cabinet, but he always es-
capped. Stolypin, after having served
several years as the minister of agri-
culture, was hailed in European diplo-
matte circles as the man of the hour
in Russia. 1t was thought he would be
able to avert a revolution, which looked
for while unavoidable. His wonderful
work during this crisis caused Emperor
Nicholas to make him premier and min
lister of the interior. This position he
held until March 20, 1911, when he re-
signed.
Resigns, But Is Reinstated.
Stolypn based the grounds for hi.
resignation on the rejection by the coun.
ell of the zemstvo bill, which provided
for self-goVernment in q number of tho
western provinces.
| The quickness with which the emperor
accepted his resignation at this time wa.
thought TO indicate that he had aban,
doned the independent premier TO hi
fate. Only few months passed how.
ever, when a reconciliation was effected
and Stolypin was again made premiel
and minister of the interior.
