mmLIN Feb. 2 , -A telegram from St.
Petersburg receIved here says It Is reported ,
there that Count Toistol the noted Iusslan I
. . novelIst and Bclal reformer , Is the author I
: ot the IIbraI manIfesto recently tued !
against ! the czar's declaratIon that ho would
uphoM autocracy as ardently ns hIs Into
Inther.
PrIvate dispatches received In Berln on
January 29 gave an outlIne ot a speech mode I
by the czar In reply to th9 addresses \ .lele.
gatons representIng tbo nobility ot the prln :
cllll cItIes and many provincial assemblIes
who called upon his majesty In order t' congratulate -
gratulate him upon lila marriage. The czar
sld he had learned that In some ct the
provincial assemblies vOIces hal been raised
proposing that these bodies shoulll have . a
share In the settlement ot affaIrs of Mate , and
expressing other "absurd hleas. " Ills mJJedty
added that he wished everybody to wider-
stand that while he leveled all his powers
to his lear country , hc was as ardently resolved -
solved as was his dear father to uphhl the
- : autocracy ot the czars. This remark atracted
- ' widespread attention throughout Hussla , and
Incidentally throughout the world To the
majority ot people the czar's utterance was
a surprise , as he had been credited with
possessing liberal Ideas which might In
time , It WS hoped , Induce him to Inaugurate
reforms In the government of RussIa. nut ,
his declaration ot his Intention to uphold
the autocracy of the czars seemed to put
al end to all such liops , and on February 1
the DaIly Chronicle of London printed n
manifesto Issued by the people's rights party
. ot Russia , In the form ot a letter to the
' * ' czar , which was then being circulated throughout -
out the Iusslan empire. After censurIng the
czar reds ' for : his assertion ot abwlutsm , the letter
:
"Tho most advanced Zemslo\'as asked only
for the harmony ot czar and people , free
speech and the supremacy of law over the
arbitrariness ot the executIve. You were deceived -
, exccutve.

Individual , and actively prevents the mon-
arch's tree Intercourse with the representn-
tves of his people , except as they come In

WASHINGTON , Feb. 25.-The bids for

be rceLved ' and the contracts let nt the
Indian warehouses , both In New York and
Chlcg I the ' recommendation of Joseph T.
Bender , the expert who was detailed by
Secretary Smith to make a report on the
subject , are ndopted. The InvesUgaton of
the merits ot those warehouses . over which
contests have arIsen In both cites , have
been In progress for some tIme , and the re-
port was completed today. 'It recommends
that both warehouses be used this year , a
on last year , and general modIficatIons In
them are suggested. A large number of
contracts are Involved , representing nn aggregate -
gregato valuation ' ot $2,250,000. a this
amount about $250,000 worth ot supplies will
pass through the Chicago warehouse , whIle
about $700,000 will pass through the New
York warehouse. The remaining goods wIll
be shipped direct from the contractors to the
Indian agencies. Heretotore about six or
seven months have been requIred to close
the work at each ot these places , but the
conclusion Is reached In the report that the
work can be accomplIshed In at least four
months , thus making a materIal saving In
the expendtures ! The reductIon ot expenses

limit has heretofore been placed on the

MINNEAPOLIS , I eb. 25-l was some-
what ot n surprise to Mr. Nye when Mr.
rwln I turned the prisoner over a short time
tme
before court IJourned this evening. lie
had expected that the examination would
take nt least today , and was hardly prepared
to go Into the cross-examinaton. lie therefore
contented hImself with going over some ,
minor , matters , that lie might begin In i
earnest tomorrow morning. 'rho day was nn
extremely Interestng one , being fled wIth
the troubles between 'the wItness and his
brother. Alr ) ' , he said , had proposed all
the bloody details at the murder. Harry cx-
plalned that he lied been so shocked at his
brother's depravIty that he resolved to sound
many other people , to see Ir they hall such
wonderful consciences . Thus It was that he
had questioned Waterman and the beckman
and even L. M. Stewart , and he dared the
state to put Stewart on the stand. Instead
ot having threatened to kIll 1 his brother wIth
a knife , Alry , he said , hall threatened to I
rip his entrails out : hind threatened to kill 1 I
his father and hall oren stated that he was i
so devoId of conscience that he could kill '
his father easily amid not be troubled about
It afterward .
larry hayward , the defendant In
the flog murder trial , continued his
tCtmony today In his own behaH.
His narratIve was resumed at the poInt where
he returned to lie Ozark afer the theater
and . . heard the news of Miss Gins's death.
"I thought ot nIl our relations , " he said ,
"and how I had lent her money. I remembered -
bored that she had often asked : e to lend
her my revolver , and as I thought the mater
over , I became convinced that she had been
murdered. I don't know what I said to the
people there , or nt the police station. But I
was very much excIted. I told the o/cers
that she had on a blue dress skirt , and not
n black one , because I knew It must be so
I know there are abut sixty days In October
and November DurIng those sixty days I
hall probably seen her ninety times , and I am
sure that out of the ninety times there were
eighty-seven when she had on a shirt waist
und a blue skirt. That was why I spoke ns
I did "
WItness described his experience In the
"sweat box" and tel how he was taken to
the morgue and shown the dead hotly with
everybody watching him. He did not know
what he did , but said he felt very bal and \
knew everyone there thought him guilty. He
went to Miss Ireland and offered to do anything -
thing about the funeral he could. He ordered
some roses from u florist , and attended the
'
fune'ral. On Thursday he and Alry were arrested -
rested and put In n cell together. Adry
seemed very down 11 the mouth , . and Harry
had said to him : "Wo are pot guilty.
What's the use ot feeling this way ? " But
Adry was dispirited , and finally Harry hal
raid : "Adry , what Is this ? You held her
up once. DId you have anything to do wIth ,
this ? " Adry was silent and refused to talk
any more. After that , there was no further
conversation between thiem . "
This evidence caused a flutter 01 ex ltc
ment. I referred to the story which on
Thursday , had been ruled out by the court
to the elect that Adry was the masked high-
wayman who , last April , had held up and
robbed Harry . Miss Gng and Miss Veddel'
while they were out driving Adry , I 'Is
understood , will go on the stand and deny
the story wIth an alibi. ,
Mr. Erwin next read the Incriminating
evidence ot Dlxt to the defendant wItzess ,
and drew from him ( xplclt denials of the
charges made against Blixt. The same course
was followed wIth Adry's testimony. '
Not much ot Interest developed during the
remaInder ot the dlrct examinatIon and Mr.
Erwin turned the witness over to the state
late In the afternoon.
Mr. Nye , In cross examInatIon , made 'Harry
go over his relatIons with MIss flIng , and
had Harry repeat his wandering the night of
her murder. The state's attorney kept tip an
sorts ot questIons , evidently with n vIew ot
laying 1 foundation for Impeachment ot the
direct testimony. I Is understood that 'Iev '
oral points were made.

proportIons that passage was almost Im-
vossible
TIm body , resting In a plain but massive
oak calket , was placed In front ot the altar ,
guarded by nn o/cer In uniform [ rom General
Russell A. Alger' mIlitia camp No. 25. A
simple bunch of lies ornamented the casket ,
but about the altar and pUlpit was banked a
wonderful profusion ot' flowers , made Into
appropriate designs.
The services were somewhat delayed and
It was a quarter after 2 o'clocl when the
procession fled Into the church Among the

The funeral sermon was ; then delivered by I
Rev. Dr. J. T. Jenlferot , the Metropolitan i
church. Speaking as the long tmo pastor of I
Mm- . Douglass , Dr. Jenltei said : "Douglass
was a Christan , He broke \ with the American
church and with thO. .meican Chrljtan
dogma , and when he saw that It sanctioned
and sustained the en/Iaverent and bondage
ot a brcthcr he held Christ to 'be ' above creed
and above the church. , In ; thls terrIfic soul
conflIct he blundered into ywiderment , but
his deliverance came and hc has often SIJken
to me of the ' joy ot his sour In God. "

CASPER , Wyo. , Pcb. 25.-(5peclal ( Tele-
gram.-Durlng ) the afternoon ot February
22 Jacob Ervay , a horseman and reorder of
lie Hattesnake ( MinIng district , shot and
seriously wounllell George E. Howard and
Wilam Kimberly nt a point about three
mIles west ot Er\y posto/ce ( , some eight
mies 'est ot Caper. Howard and Kimberly
\ \ ere brought Into town today , amid are now
nt the ( hotel under the doctor's care.
10wntl and Kimberly are sheep men , and
the feud Is over lie ( herding ot sheep on
the ( open range adjacent to a rneh. The
Howar(1 and Kimberly sIde ot the mater Is
as t lows : Their sheEp camp was pitched
abut three ml s , i'est ot rvay's pasture
and their sheep were grazing In the range to
the west ot the cnmp. Aleut the middle of
I lie ( afternoon of the 221 Ervay rode up to the
i camp , and , without any words , commenced
to shoot at Kimberly with a Winchester
Kimberly , nt the tme of the arrival of Er-
vay , was standing In the door of the tent ,
and before he could say anything Ervay
fred , and the bal entered Imberly's right
arm , about three Inches below the shoulder
blade and , taking an upward course , entered
the body. Kimberly fell to the ground , amid
Ervay got off his horse and laId Kimberly
out on hIs bed In the tent He then remounted -
mounted his horse and went out to where
time sheep were to hunt Howard Coming up
to Howard , he said :
"I have got you. "
Howard put his arm nround his back when
Ervay fred , anti the bal passed through
Howard's arm , between the elbow and the
wrIst. Howlrd getting his gun , returned the
fire , and It Is claimed that he shot Ervny
hItting him In the hip. Howard exhausted
all. his cartridges , then turned , ran and
Jutped behind n little snnd knoll. He then
looked up over the knoll to see what hall
become ot Ervay , when ErvY fred agaIn , the
halt passIng through Howard's cap. .Ervay
then turned his horse towards his home and
that was the last seen ot him.
En'ay's sIde of the mater Is that the
sheep men were crowding his range and that
he simply went down to their camp to ask
them not to come any nearer to his horse
ranch than they were at that time , and that
Howard and Kimberly got right Into a fight
and commenced to shoot nt him , and that all
he did was to act In seU-deense.
KimberlY , at this wrIting , Is very low , and
his chance for recovery are very slight.
Howard's and Ervay's wounds are not very
serious This Is the most serious fight we
have had In thll section between the sheep
men and the ranch men , and unless some-
thing . is done to regulate the use at the open
rnge It wIll not be the last. As yet no arrests -
rests have been made. All parties concerned I '
are , respected men and have heretofore borne
, ' excellent - - . - reputettans.

ot Casper . who knew Elsworth antI his wife

ot the charge. TIme theory hero Is that ) rs ;
Elsworth might possibly have taken the
poison through mistake \ \ ' men sufferIng from
