New Orleans and Charleston, S. C-, Mr. Bennett, of New York, will present to tho House tomorrow a petition signed by a distinguished list of American citizens, calling upon the Congress of 1he United States to protest against the "perverted use of Governmental functions of what he said the Rus sian people are victims.” Th,. protest recites a list of atrocities asserted to bo practiced by the Rus sian Government in its prolonged warfare against its own people." The arraignment of the Russian Government is as follows: First—Thousands of men and wo men are dragged from their homes solely at the discretion or pleasure of local military or police authorities: placed in remote settlements of semi- savages close to, and within the polar circle, where the most loathsome dis eases are chronically epidemic. Second—Hospitals are deliberately fired upon by the regular troops with out rebuke. Third—The Red Cross is not re spected and the wounded are fre quently slaughtered or thrown into the sea or buried alive with the dead. Fourth—Women, children, aged and decrepit m by sword slashings, torn by bayonet and trampled under hoofs of horses. Fifth -Girls and young women, in habitants of districts under military "protection,” are repeatedly given over to violation by officers as well as or dinary soldiers. Sixth—Tortures aro applied to pris oners within fortresses and prison to elicit information. to drink. The physicians are convinced that at least two of the girls are the victims of an attempted assault.

SPOONER RESIGNED FROM 0. S. SENATE WASHINGTON. March 3.—Senator Spooner has .written a letter to Gov. Davidson, of Wisconsin, tendering his resignation as a Senator of the United States to take effect May 1. next. The letter was dated yesterday, but the fact that such a letter had been written or that Mr. Spooner contemplated resign ing did not become known in the Sen ate until late today, when it created great surprise and the Wisconsin Sen ator at once found himself the subject of many anxious inquiries. To all he replied that his mind was fully made up. He had found, he said, that to con tinue in his present position would re quire a sacrifice on his part that he . could not justify himself in making, rc maimed^and killed j n reply to questions he said he would ' “ * *■ *■ rcsume the practice of law, but declined to say whether he would be located in Wisconsin. He did say, however, that he would continue to he a citizen of that State as long ns he lives. Vice-President Fairbanks was one of tho few public men to be made ac quainted with My. Spooner’s plans be fore he wrote his letter. The knowl edge came to him through the personal confidence ot the Senator, but the lat ter made no official communication on the subject to either the Senate or its presiding officer. The law does not re quire that a resigning Senator should do more than Mr. Spooner has done, but some Senators who have resigned have given notice to the Senate. Roosevelt’s Regrets. On being informed of Senator Spooner's resignation, the President made the following statement: "I can not sufficiently express my regret at Senator Spooner’s resignation. We lose one -ef the ablest, most ef ficient, most fearless and most upright public servants that the nation has. Four years ago I knew the extreme re luctance with which Senator Spooner finally consented to serve in the Sen ate. and year by year since I have feared that he would resign, as he finally has resigned, for I have known that every year of his stay In public life has been to him a direct financial less he could ill afford. I understand fully the Senator's feeling that he can not longer stay in the public service at such cost not only to himself but to his family: and much as I regret his resignation, I am most sincerely grate ful that be has been willing to serve as long. He has been in his life a gal lant soldier, a trained public servant of of ability and faithfulness, and at all tim*' an Amer ican citizen who did his whole duty.” IN SEE 10 BEET Ml 21-24 PARTS, Tex..

Their plan of clothing was based on a fair amount on marriage and a very tion. mosf of our lives, and it is my wish, desire and firm intention that this conditon shall continue at and after my-decease. “NOTE—I mention this merely to avoid question, because since we be came of age we have separated and there has been no particular affection existing between us that I am aware of.” Miss Suffern was on hand when the will was filed for probate in New- burg. Her brother’s estate was worth $125,000, being half as much as her father left when he died. She still has the other half with increments. In describing Christ Church he called it “of Suffern.” when in reality it was organized in 1860 as Christ’s of “Ram- apo.” So Miss Suffern started a con test of which the end is not yet. If the clause in the will enriching Christ Church be proven invalid, about S100.000 in farm lands will revert to Miss Suffern, who .was so expressly excluded. She has a farm at Garnerville. one at Tollman's, one at Ramsay and ona at , Suffern. Her residence is any one of them when she oiioo'es. and a little box of a house in Suffern village when she chooses neither. Her goings and comings, which aro in cowhide boots on foot, malgre the seventeen horses and the ponly stal lion. are invariably heralded and at- tende by most of the twenty-eight- dogs. After the last fall of snow a boy one day threw a snowball at one of her dog?. The howl that it howled was a sad affair. The next day all the school boys in Suffern were on the streets prepared to have some more of it. But Miss Suffern is something of a strategist She rnme up the street about three in the afternoon bound for her village farm where the stork had hist brought a calf to the roan cow. Her dogs were at her skirt in close order and she resembled Diana In that she carried a double-barrelled hammerless gun. Tho street boys dived for cover like rabbits. Janette marched on to the door of her barn, turned and looked at what was left of the crowd and then “broke" the gun in their faces, blew through the empty barrels and laughed out loud. There are four churehes in the vbiage, Christ's Eni=conal. a Catholic, a Metho dist and a Presbyterian. She eschewed Christ Chnrch because her brother had a new there and began with the Catholic Church. It was built by Thonjas p. Ryan, whose country place is a. mi'e away from one of'her farms. One Sunday she came to high mass, dogs and all. She marched doom tho middle aisle with the collection padding after her end installed herself in a-front pew that was not hers. Of course thcro was objection to the dogs. Miss Suffern laughed and said a little gospel might do them good. The sexton took issue with her by ejecting the near est dog. using the dog's tail for a handle, Miss Suffern went away in a ebullient frame of mind Her cows got out of her barn that night, and in the morning there . were the predications of her cattle where the day before had been the flower-beds that were the glory of the church grfls.s- pl.ots. The sexton and the village pound- master rounded the herd un and Miss Suffern had to purchase their freedom. TROUBLE AT ATLANTA.
