KILLED BY A BOMB
RUSSIAN MINI8TER OF THE
TERIOR 18 ASSASSINATED.
IN-
WAS OH HIS WAY TO SEE CZAR
Assassin Makea Attack Upon Officer
on Busy Thoroughfare of City
Coachman Also Killed and the
Horses Fatally Wounded.
ST. PETERSBURG. Minister of
tho Interior von Plohvo was assassin
ated while driving to tho Warsaw sta
tion to visit tho I'etcrhof.
A bomb was thrown under tho min
ister's carriage, completely shattering
It. M. von Plohvo was terribly man
gled. Tho crime was committed at 10
o'clock.
Tho conchmnn was killed, and tho
wounded and mnddened horses dashed
wildly away with tho front wheels of
the carriage, tho only portion of tho
vehicle remaining Intact. Immediate
ly thero ensued a scone of tho wildest
confusion. Police and gendarmes hur-
MNKSffl? If.
rlcd up from every direction nnd vnst
crowds gathered about tho spot where
tho mangled body of tho minister ley
wclttcring in his blood.
Tho Associated Press correspondent
wns at tho scono of tho tragedy within
fivo minutes after It occurred. M. von
Plohve's shockingly mangled body wnB
lying in tho middle of tho road. It had
been partially covered with a police
ofllcor's overcoat, with the left arm,
tho bono of which was broken off,
projecting. A policeman came tip and
rnlsed the overcoat in order to rear
range it, revealing for nn Instnnt the
strong features of the dead minister,
whose head was battered almost be
yond recognition.
Tho roadway was strewn for 100
yards with tho wreckage of tho car
riage, nnd pieces of tho red lining of
the minister's official overcoat. A fow
yards from M. von Plohve's body lay
a shapeless heap of the coachman's re
mains. M. von Plohvo was said to bo on his
way to visit the emperor. Tho trag
edy occurred on the Zalakonskl pros
pect, a broad thoroughfaro leading up
to tho Wnrsaw depot, whoro the road
turns sharply to tho loft toward tho
Baltic railroad station. Tho exact
spot nt which tho outrogo occurred Is
just before the bridge spanning tho
circular canal, on tho othr sldo of
which both stations are situated.
Tho bomb thrower must have known
perfectly well that Minister von
Plohvo would pass the spot, for tho
minister mnkes his report to the em
peror every Thursday.
Tho Infernal mac-tilne wns thrown
with deadly accuracy, and tho assassin
was favored by tho fact that tho traffic
here Is always of tho heaviest, owing
to tho crossing of lines of surface cars
and the continuous stream of heavy
trucks. M. von Plehvo was always
apprehenslvo of attempts upon his
llfo, and used to drive as rapidly as
possible. The coachman, however,
was compelled to go slow at this
point.
The assassin. In laying his plans,
evidently foresaw this circumstance,
nnd while tho minister's coachman
slowed down, threw tho bomb. Tho
explosion wns torrlflc, nnd practically
annihilated tho woodwork of the car
riage. Tho horses tore off, dragging
tho axle and the front wheels. Tho
animals, though infuriated by the
wounds they had sustained, had not
galloped far beforo they foil, with
pools of blood under them,
It Is reported that six men aro Im
plicated and thnt hvo of them llod
Into a little hotol adjoining the scono
of tho assassination, and only ono,
who wns wounded, having been cap
tured. Tho hotol was Burrounded by
tho police and all its Inmates woro
arrested.
The wounded man, who is said to
bo a Jew, was taken to the Alexan
der hospital, so dazed as to bo unable
to speak. His condition was account
ed for by the fact that he took poison
Immediately after throwing the bomb.

On Sunday morning at 9 o'click tho
Japanese right had reached a bluff o
llttlo less than two miles from Tal

afternoon tho Russian batteries post
ed In various positions on the high
ground opened with vigor, shelling
tho advancing Japaneso line. The
strength of tho Russian gradually de
veloped during the day. Tho Russian
lire prevented a general ndvanso and
determined General Oku to decide to
ndwnit tho advent of darkness to de
liver a night assault.
Suddenly, at 10 o'clock Sunday
night, tho entire Japaneso rlgftt was

FUNERAL OF VON PLEHVE HELD
AT ST. PETERSBURG.
EVERYWHERE JHE BELLS TOLL
Impressive and Imposing Services
Notable Characters of Russia Stand
with Bowed Heads About the Flow
ered and Caparisoned Bier.
ST. PETERSBURG. M. von
Plehvo, tho minister of tho interior,
who was assassinated Thursday morn
ing last, was burled Sunday, and In
every city of this vast empire church
bells wcro tolled and masses nnd
prayers said for tho roposo of tho bouI
of the murdered minister.
Tho 'services hero, which wero ac
cording to the rites of the orthodox
church, wero of an Impressive and im
posing character. At 11 o'clock high
mass was Bald In tho stately chapel
adjoining the ministry of tho interior.
Emperor Nicholas and tho dowager
empress stood with the broken-hearted
widow and tho children at a great
inouiid of flowers on which rested tho
casket. To tho right, on gold-embroid
ered cushions, before a mass of
wreaths banked to tho colling, were
ranged tho decorations which had been
won by tho statesman during his not
ablo career.
To tho left wcro tho metropolitan
of St. Petersburg and tho ofllcla'Jg
bishops and prIost3 in their gold-cm-blazoned
vestments. A screen of flow
ers concealed tho famouo Imperial
boys' choir.
Among those present wcro other
members of the Imperial family, the
foreign representatives, including
Spencer Eddy, charge d'affaires of tho
American embassy; ministers of the
empire, generals, admirals, nobles,
governors of distant provinces, Hko
those of Astrakhan and Irkutsk; In
fact, all high officialdom, not oven
omitting Genghis Khan, n lineral de
scendant of Nnpoleon, of Ahia, who is
now a major general In tho Russian
service.
The entire assemblage was in full
uniform, and on tho arm of each ono
present was a badge of mourning. All
hell lighted tapers throughout tho ser
vice, and the nir was heavy with tho
perfume of flowers and incense from
the censers.
At the most solemn moment, when
nil knelt and many wero affected by
tears, tho widow was overcome and
fainted. Tho emperor came to her as
sistance, and she was carried out by
gentle hands. Tho emperor was vis
loly moved, and upon tho conclusion
of tho mass he followed tho casket,
which was taken upon the shoulders
of ministers and borne down tho
broad marble stairway to tho street.
The funeral procession was formed
and tho body wns placed In a great
white open hearse, drawn by six coal
black horses, which were blanketed
from their ears to their tails In som
ber trappings. A black-garbed groom
stood at each bridle, and in advance
went sixteen similarly clad lantern
bearers. Bohlnd the hearse walked
tho members of tho minister's family,
and then camo a long and distin
guished body of mourners, it being tho
Ru3sinn custom to follow tho dead to
tho grave on foott.
Tho emperor himself walked a short
distance, but ns tho Novodevlcky
monastery, where tho burial took
place, was over five miles awny, and
because of tho condition of tho em
press, his majesty soon entered his
carriage and returned to tho Peterhof
palace.
At the end of the procession came
four white chariots filled with the
floral offerings. Tho cortego proceed
ed slowly through tho avenues and
streets, preceded by a squad of mount
ed police, and passed within sight of
theplaco whero tho tragedy occurred.
TIGHTENING UP THE LINES.
Strikers and Packers Preparing
for
Another Week of Struggle.
CHICAGO Both tho packers and
tho strikers spent Sunday In strength
ening any weak spots that could bo
found In their defenses, preparatory
to terms. Notwithstanding that It
was Sunday nil tho plants woro oper
oted urlng tho forcnon In order to
get rid of tho live stock that had been
left over from last week. Tho re
mainder of tho day was spent by tho
employers In installing new men in
tho strikers' places and arranging
many of the small details which had
been overlooked last week during the
heat of the conflict.
Over one thousand new men were
added to those at work In tho various
plants. Among the arrivals were
many skilled laborers, something tho
packers havo been sadly In need of
ever since tho strlko started. Tho
employers havo experienced little dif
ficulty in procuring all tho unskilled
men necessary to operate tho plants
to tholr full capacity, but there has
been a decided scarcity of skilled
workmen and for this reason tho by
products of nil animals killed havo
been let go to waste.
Succecsor to Van Plehve.
ST. PETERSBURG Tho far-reaching'
character of the machinery of tho
ministry of tho interior and tho urgent
necessity for dealing with many pond
ing matters of Importance render it
Imperative that the emperor select a
successor to M. Von Plehvo Immedi
ately and It Is considered certain that
ho will do so In a few days. Influ
ences hostile to M. Wltto, tn spite of
his acknowledged great ability and tho
general belief that ho Is tho man for
tho position seem to render his ap
pointment Increasingly Impossible.

POLICE KNEW OF THE PLOT.
The Assassination of Von Plehve Was
Matured Long Ago.
ST. PETERSBURG. The police
have not yet established the Identity
of tho assassin of M. von Plehve or of
his accomplices, though it has been as
certained that tho former is little Rus
sian, which accounts for his notice
able accent The accomplice Is a
Jew.
It has developed that the police for
some tlmo past have been awaro that
a plot was maturing against the czar,
and had advised one of the ministers
thnt a party of fifteen anarchists had
arrived in St. Petersburg. Several ar
rests were actually mado several days
beforo the assassination.
Tho bomb which tho accomplice
dropped In tho canal after the assas
sination was recovered by the police.
It is of foreign make, though It is be
lieved to havo been loaded in St. Pe
tersburg. It is small and melon
shaped, and is believed to be fully as
powerful as the ono that killed von
Plehve.

RUMORSf FIGHT y
ONE IS THAT PORT ARTHUR HAS
BEEN CAPTURED.
THE NEWS IS NOT CONFIRMED
Associated Press Dispatches and
Other Reliable Sources Deny the
Rumors A General Assault, How
ever, Seems to Have Been Begun.
LONDON. A Shanghai corrt-psond-ent,
In a cabregram, says: "Various
telegrams received hero from Che Foo
announco thnt tho Japaneso hnvo cap
tured Port Arthur. This report is re
garded as confirmed by news Just re
ceived from Wei Hal Wei that tho"
British fleet returns there. It Is also
stated that tho Japanese casualties
numbered 11,000."
CHE FOO. Refugees who have Just
arrived from Port Arthur confirm pre
vious reports that a general assault
has been begun by tho Japanese on
that fortress, and they declare that
the Russians aro sanguino that Jap
anese could not Buccoed In capturing
the place, oven though they had twico
as many troops. Tho Russians, ac
cording to the refugees' story, aro still
hoping for succor from General Kou
ropattkln. They are unwilling to be
llovo tho reports of his defeat at Ta
Tcho Kiao. The refugees further con
firm tho reports that tho Russian fleet
Is in a state of repair, but say that tho
fleet is unwilling to attack that of Ad
miral Togo on account of the mines
which tho Japaneso placo nightly, at
tho entrance to the harbor. It was be
lieved at Port Arthur that if tho Vladl-J
vostok squadron or reinforcements
from General Kuropatkln should arrive
tho Russian fleet would take tho risk'
of going out.
Ammunition is said to bo growing
scarce and the largo fort guns aro not
often discharged. Attempts to manu
facture ammunition in Port Arthur arc
reported to have been failures.
All public buildings are being used
for hosplttals. Tho sick and wounded
aro being well cared for by volunteer
nurses. Tho wounds mado by tho Jap
aneso rifles are not dangerous except
when vital spots are reached. Hun
dreds of, badly wounded have quickly
recovered from their wounds.
An American named Holt reports
that Lieut, Newton A. McCully, tho
American naval attache now at Port
Arthur, is well.
The Russian have erected a new
wireless telegraph station at Cho Foo,
but they are unable to obtain any .re
sults, owing to tho fact that Japaneso
auxiliary cruisers fitted with wireless
telegraph outfits are constantly cruis
ing In the zone of communication and
interrupting tho currents.
LONDON. No further news of tho
reported fall of Port Arthur or war
news of nny kind has reachod tho Lon
don morning newspapers.
NEWS OF THE ASSASSINATION.
Does Not Cause Much Surprise In
Washington Circles.
WASHINGTON The first official
Information received hero of the trag
edy at St. Petersburg came In a short
cablegram to the state department
from Spencer Eddy, tho chargo
d'affaires of the American embassy
In the nbsence from that capital of
Ambassador McCormlck. Tho mess
age read:
"Secretary of Interior Plehvo and
several others killed and somo
wounded by explosion of a bomb."
Tho cablegram was promptly for
warded by Acting Secretary Adoo to
Secretary Hay at Newbury, N. H and
a proper expression of condolence will
bo directed through Mr. Eddy.
Although the assassination is deep
ly deplored here, It cannot bo said
that it has caused much surprise in
the circles here best Informed as to
tho conditions In St. Petersburg. M.
Plohve was regarded as a reactionist
and was particularly sovcro In his
treatment of tho radical element In
Russian politics. He was ablo to en
force his policies through his absolute
control of tho secret service and po
lice. TAGGART CHOSEN CHAIRMAN.

NEW YORK. Expectations wero

of tho democratic nntlonal committee.
Indorsed by nearly every member of

been known that only the decre6 if

the consent of Senator Gorman to ac

lection of Mr. Taggart. Neither of
those contingencies arose, and the In
diana man was unanimously chosen to
a placo for which ho has long aspired.
Although tho vote was unanimous, It
wbb not until after It was actually In
