The assassin was disguised aa a aol- dlcr and atood within arm‘a length of the general when ho nred Ihe ahot. He was quickly overpowered by guarde. He n'fuere to dfeclose his name or tell anything about himself, but ho Is undoubtedly n member of Ihe terror ist, hand, pledged to murder high gov ernment officiate. 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 Investigation.

The Mleaourl Pacific man 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 Paclflc.
