The first report which reached the public was to the effect that M. Stoly pln himself had been 1 killed. Detail* Hard to Gst. Details of the tragedy are as yet hard to secure. It appears, however, that an official reception was In progress at the home of M. Stolypln where, without warning, a bomb exploded In the re ception rooms, spreading death and de struction on all sides. It - Is not yet known who the assassin was and It Is presumed he has escaped. It also has been Impossible as yet to get a list of the dead and injured, or. Indeed, to learn definitely how many fell victims to the attempt on the premier's life. Physicians were summoned to aid the Injured and the police drew a cordon around the house, so that only those who had the right could go either In or out. Exoitement Follows. The attempt on M. Stolypln’* life and the assassination of the others hss caused much Intense excitement throughout to St. Petersburg. It Is re gretted among the more conservative,! as It Is knowh that M. stolypln has besn disposed to do all he can to bring peace to the empire. This attempt. It Is feared,' will greatly strengthen the hands of the reactionists. NEWS FORECAST FOR COMING WEEK By Private Leased Wire. Washington, D. C., Aug. 25.—The home-coming of William J.

' No convention of Populists will be held In Atlanta on next Tuesday. J. B. Bodenhamer, of DeKatb county, secretary of the People's Party state executive committee, stated to a Geor gian representative Saturday morning that he had written Chairman J. J. Holloway advising hint to Issue an of ficial notice calling off the meeting flxea for that date. "In the tight of the primary Wed nesday and the overwhelming victory of Hoke Smith, I believe It would be a useless waste of time and energy for the Populists to meet or attempt to place a ticket In the field. "As a matter.of fact, a very large percentage of the Populists voted for Mr. Smith, because his platform em braced the Ideas for which we have been fighting for year*. If he carries out his platform and pledges we will have no complaint.” As Mr. Bodenhamer Is In a position to speak officially, his statement may be taken as a final declaration .that the Populists of Georgia will havt no ticket In the field this yenr. It is probablo that Chairman Holloway will officially call off the proposed conven tion set for Tuesday. Will Meat, Says Holloway. The Oeorglan la In receipt of tho fol lowing letter from Chairman J. J. Hol loway clem, Ga., Aug. 24, 1906. To the Editor of The Ceorglan: I see stated on the second pngs of your esteemed paper of this date that the Populists will meet there on the 27th: that a convention was called for that date. . , . . , I hope you will be fair enough to correct this date, for our convention adjourned on the 4th of July to meet August 28, and not the 27th. Just why you style us "stralghtouts and "Irreconcllables" I do not know, unless It Is because we refuse to be come members of the Democratic par ty. You seem to admire Mr. Hearst, ye> vou must know, that he Is out- atrlplng us 10 to 1 In beseeching the people to cut loose from the old cor rupt parties and to vote Independently for the cause of freedom. We have no word of abuse, nor even the slightest crttclsm for the thousands of Populists who voted for the Hon. Hoke Smith. We are sure they will most heartily support him In the regular election. We know there Is no way to con strue his unparalleled victory, with out recognizing the fact that It was made possible by advocating our prin ciples and by Populists' votes and Pop- ulist Influence. Whatever reforms his vlctorv has advanced can not fall to be considered a victory for Populism and for Jeffersonian Democracy. Whether our crowd I* large or small, on the 28th, you may rest assured that nothing harsh will be done. We con fidently look for a re-allignment In American politics, and that other great battles will have to be fought yet. ATLANTA HAS CINCH WITH TAIL-ENDERS Special to The Georgian.
