St. Petersburg, Aug. 25.—That Pre
mier Stolypln ie alive today Is little
short of a miracle. As It Is, the des
perate atempt to destroy him with a
dynamite bomb at his home today re
sulted In the death of a number of peo
ple and the maiming of many more. In
cluding a son of the minister.
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.

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.
Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 26.—Infletder
Johnson essayed to do the twirling for
the locals In the first gams of the dou
ble-header Saturday afternoon and
was bated all over the lot for 18 hits,
nettlpg the Crackers I run*, while Lite
tie Rock was able to secure but one
tally off Hughes' puzzling delivery.
The Smlthltes stacked up only one
error and played a brilliant game In
the field. The Rockers made two bob
bles and their fielding was not of such
an order that It went to encourage
their pitcher.
Crozler, Evers and Fox were the hit
ting stars, the first two named getting
a trio of swats each and Fox succeed
ed In sending out four that went for
safeties.

Everything Is quiet at Decatur.
Everything la quiet at Copenhlll.
Reports from both these places state
that no excitement prevails whatever
Saturday over the events of tho past
few days. The citizens of Decatur and
Copenhlll have placed their faith In
the county officials and until the per.
petrators of the recent crimes have
been apprehended events will move
slong in the routine way.
Saturday morning there was much
dissatisfaction expressed by the peo
ple living In Decatur over the false
reports aired In afternoon papers Fri
day, and which came near causing
serious trouble.
The rumor that a crowd wa* march
ing on the DeKalb county Jail and that
the negro who commute'' the assault
on the Misses Lawrence had been
caught and Identified brought many
Infuriated men to the suburban city.
The crowd demanded that the Jail
be searched and It wne only after a
long parley that they were satisfied to
allow a committee of two to make the
Investigation.
B. H. Ledford, proprietor of the De
catur livery stable, who waa Instru
mental In getting the troops out and
pacifying th* crowd, stated Saturday

lessness If we have to kill every negro
In a thousand miles of Atlanta. And
If a white man falls low enough to
commit an assault upon a woman. If
h# had twenty lives, I would take them
With this Increase In the force
we may not be able to help one slip
ping in every now and then, but when
euch a crime Is committed we will
chase the perpetrator to Hades —we'll
find a way to follow him somehow."
He recommended that a 3500 reward
be offered for the brute who assaults
or attempts to assault a white woman.
‘There are mighty few negroes who
would not give a criminal away for
that amount—and there are lots of
negroes who could locate these fiends
around Atlanta If they would," said
the sheriff.
A resolution adopted by the board
provides that the- thirty-six men be
placed In the northern, southern and
western portions of the county, twelve
men In each section and each squad
