The assassin was disguised aa a aol-

the general when ho nred Ihe ahot. He

Condemned to Death.
General Pavelnff-wee condemned tn
heranee he delayed the reprieve,
of the Baltic mutlnecra until after they
were executed. He had drenched the
southern provinces In blond nnd
became one nf the most merciless of
the osar's generals.
Several revolutionists were to have
boon tried, today and General I’aveloff
wn, proceeding through the court yard
of the military court building to con
duct tho prosecutions when he was as.
saic,mated.
Other Generals In Terror.
Other generals have been condemned
to death and they are In a state of
terror. It Is known that muny brave
men from tho revolutionists, terrorists
and social revolutionary societies have
been designated to kill the caar.
The slayer of Pavelnff la believed to
. tv* gained entrance to the court yard
through the possession-bf forged doc
umenta which he pretended were tor
General Pavelnff. Aa he wore the uni
form of a soldier and the Insignia of a
general's orderly, the guards paid lit
tie attention to him.
Bey Ie Wounded,
Tho two policemen whom he later
wounded In hts desperate efforts to es
cape;- had vohmtacred- to point out
General Paveloff when he arrived.
A boy was passing., the entrance to
the yard when one of the bullets aimed
at an officer struck him.
Terrorists Undismayed.
The Russian terrorists are undis
mayed by the terrible punishment met
ed out tn the assassin of Oeneral Von
der Launltz on January S, lost, are
crying, "the czar next."
It developed after the killing of Von
der Launltz that the assassin had tried
lo rent apartment* In the Imperial vll
lags of Tsnrskoe-Selo, where he would
have opportunity to kill the emperor.
The terrorists have planned to kill all
the principal officers of the empire.
Curiously enough, all the suspects thus
fur arrested coins from Moscow. It Is
their policy tn slay minor officials If
the higher cannot be reached.
Cen't Prevent Outrages.
In tho face of such determination on
the part of terrorists, tho police find
44- Imposlablo to prevent outrages. The
revolutionist* havo gone *o far a* tn
compel seven of their members tn Hill
themselves for fnlllng to assassinate
the governor of Moscow.
The only way the poltca officials ran
icupe Is never to apprar In public.
The terrorists declare they will never
let up until the autocracy and the bu
reaucracy surrender.
Police Are Bewildered.
The secret police are In a state nf
hewllderntent and are arresting people
right and left. Hundreds of workmen
—e under arrest In Moscow. 7
What terrific, the police most Is the
readiness uf the ussasslns to kill them
selves.
Remarkable State of
Affairs Revealed by

Chicago, Jan. 9.—Sensational ttdmls- ,

hum. traffic manager of the Missouri
J'acltlc, who sworn that W. 11. Nell- :
meyer, local agent of the Southern j
Pacific, had been also agent tor the '
L'nlnn Pacific for flvo years.
How do you understand thatr* rts-
■nanded Attorney C. ,A. Severance, fer
the government. "Does Mr. Nehmeyer
coiniiete against himself In these two
capacities?"
"Well, I can seo how he might die-
tribute tho traffic for reasons of hla
own."
"Hut the traffic of the two roads la
entirely In the hands of this one man.
Is It not?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then Mr. Nehmeyer Is hie own
competitor, an ambidextrous official?"
"He has chargaof the business."
Tho wltnees was then taken by John

and smiling Ilarrlman attorney, who
views the entire proceeding before the
commleelon with amused tolerance.

declared point blank that when he ,
was In the traffic department of the
Illinois Central there was an under- j
standing as to the routing of business
over the Union Pacific and Southern

"What do you mean by an undsro

“I mean orders which reached ms

"Yes; considering where he gat
