Miss Mnmlfi Coiiwny has n complexion

'My complexion would not havo

Rut Express Sympathy for the People
of Russia.
TOKfO Commenting on tho ossas
Rinatlon of Grand Duko Sergius at
Moscow, tho JIJ1 Shlmpo expresses
Its sympathy nt his cruel death, but
declares the act Is attributable to thB
t high-handed manner of the Russinn
government in repressing tho recent
lalMir demonstrations. The paper says
that oppressive measures against ex
pression of national wishes invito
such outrages from the oppressed.
"The war In the far east resulted
from tho aggressive action of tho Rus
sian government, with which tho Rus
sian people have Httlo sympathy," tho
JIJI Shlmpo adds. "In ono sense
Japan Is waging a war against the
Russian nation arising from oppres
sion by the uiitocracy, but Japan Is
fighting tho government, nnd not tho
people of Russia."
Tho paper predicts a better under
standing with Increased sympathy be
tween tho two peoples after the war
has ended and, after again lamenting
tho crimo which resulted In tho death
of Grand Duko Sergius, expresses tho
hope that it will be fruitful of good re
sults. Other newspapers comment In n
similar strain on the assassination of
tho grand duke.

f
HEAD BLOWN OFF
UNCLE OF CfcAR ASSASSINATED
WHILE DRIVING.
BOMB BENEATH THE CARRIAGE
Vehicle Is Blown to Pieces by Force
of the Explosion. The Assassin, a
member of the Noted "Fighting
Group," Under Arrest.,
MOSCOW Within tho wnlls of tho
far-famed Kremlin palace nnd almost
underneath tho historic tower from
which Ivan the Terrible watched the
heads of his enemies falling beneath
tho axo ou the Red square, and within
a Btono's throw of the great bell of
Moscow, Grand Duke Scrguls, undo
and brother-in-law of Emporor Nicho
las and the chief of tho reactionaries,
mot a terrible death shortly befoto 3
o'clock.
Tho deed was committed by a
slnglo terrorist, who threw bencnth
tho carriage of the grand ihiko a
bomb charged with the same high
power explosive which wrought Min
ister von Plehve's death. The missile
was packed with nails and fragment?
of Iron And Its explosion tore the inv
perlnl victim's body to ghastly frag
ments which strewed the snow for
yards around.
Tho assassin belongs to the noted
"fighting group" of tho socialist re
volutionary party, which has removed
other prominent officials and long
bIiico passed scntenco of death upon
Grand Duko Sergius.
Tho grand duko knew that ho stood
In tho shadow ot death. Ho was the
recipient of numerous warnings and
claborato preparations were taken to
Insure his safety, but nil tho re
sources of tho gendarmerie, secret po
lice nnd soldiers proved unavailing
against an attempt almost exactly
duplicating the procedure that caused
the death of Minister of the Interior
von Plohve last July. It was tho irony
of fate that Sergius, after taking re
fuge In his country villa during the
strike troubles of a month ago nnd
later seeking oven more secure shelter
In the palace within the Kremlin
walls, should bo killed while proceed
ing to the governor general's palace
beyond tho walls, and which he had
abandoned to enable tho police to
hotter protect him.
Grand Duchess Elizabeth, who was
dally engaged in preparing comforts
for tho sick and wounded in Man
churia, was about to drive to the
palace to Join her husband. When she
heard of what had befallen the grand
duko sho was driven In haste to tho
scene of the tragedy, and knelt, hat
less and coatless, on the bloodstained
snow and murmured prayers for the"
welfare of her slain consort.
Tho scene of tho crimo was the
great open triangle within the Krem
lin, bounded by the arsenal treasury
and courts of justice, in ono angle of
which Ib the Nicholas, or Httlo palace,
where tho grand duke dwelt. On tho
snow lay fragments of tho body of
Grand Duko Sereins, minded with
tho wreck of the carriage. The grand
duke's head had been torn from nls
body and reduced to a shapeless pulp
aud tuo trunk and limbs ,wrei fright
fully mangled. A linger bearing a rich
tseal ring was found lyln severaL
ij-ards away. The eilmson tint and
smell of blood were everywhere. Only
a few fragments of cloth Indicated
that the body had been clothed. Tho
coachman lay moaning with pain be
side a deep hole In the pavement. Tho
horses, dragging tho front wheels of
tho carriage, had dashed off, madden
ed witn pain, to sink dying before they
reached tho gate.
LONG MARKED FOR DEATH
And Grand Duke Had Lately Acted
Like a Hunted Man.
PARIS Tho Grand Duko Sergius,
uncle of tho Russian emperor, and for
merly governor-general of Moscow, is
understood to havo been condemned
to death by tho revolutionary party
in December last.
Tho governor-generalship of Mos
cow was abolished early in tho year
and the grand duko, according to dis
patches from Moscow January 4, kept
closely to the well guarded NIckouski
palace, on the outskirts of Moscow,
retaining his position of commander-in-chief
of the military district.
Later in January, however, it wns
announced that tho grand duko hnd
sought refuge In one of tho palaces of
the Kremlin. Ho has been classed as
the most reactionary member of tho
Imporinl family, as tho head of which
ho has been stigmatized by the liber
als as Russia's evil gonius. .
