Lying in his bed he passed his time in a sad reverie. (-r in writing: a few lines, when his strengih would permit. His weakness indeed, seemed great, though he did not com- Llain of any suffgzring. He did not return to consciousness for some hours, and then the physician who had been called in said that al- though the wound was serious, it was not necessarily fatal. Lawton‘s body was found the next flay. and. after some slight inquiries, as it was not recognized, it was speedily buried, and nothing more came of it. She was in time to catch Lawton‘s last words, and Leroy’s reply. The next instant was the murderers last. A little later Darcy came up. In a tc'w words Beatrice had told him what had happened. “Give me that pistol," he said in a [(no of decision. She obeyed. “Now we‘ll leave the villain where he lies. he‘s dead enough; and we’ll take the master homo,” and with these words the strong man gently lifted Leroy in hir. arms. Half an hour later Leroy was lying upon the bed in his own room. She had become alarmed by his long absence, and at length had ascended to his room. She had there found his pistol case open and one of the weapons gone. Thinking he contemplated sui- cide she had made hasty inquiries es i0 the road he had taken, and then had hurried after him, all the time uncon- sciously carrying the other pistol in her hand. V Leroy slowly raised himself upon his elbow and looked his murderer in the “George Lawton,” he said, slowly and mm great effort, “you have done me the greatest favor possibleâ€"Iâ€"thankâ€" you,” and fell back as though dead.

A despatch from St. Petersburg say51 The official announcement that Premier Witte‘s resignation had been accepted, couPled with the statement that former Minister of the Interior Goremykin would succeed him, was made on Wed- nesday. M. Goremykin‘s elevation to the Premiership created amazement. He is not only regarded as a reactionist. but the general opinion is that he is not equal to the task of facing the coming crisis. The London Times' correspondent. at St.l’etersburg cables as follows :â€"-â€"Count Wittc’s resignation has been otlicial since 10 o‘clock on Wednesday morn- ing. Delay in the announcement was due to the hope of a compromise. I am now in position to explain the mo- tive of the Premier's departure. Count Witte insisted on immediate promulga- tion of the new innnutahle organic laws, the object of which was to leave him a free hand under the shelter of the autocraoy and deprive the Duma of any initiative in matters concerning the fu- ture government. of the country.

The correspondent asserts that Count Witte only retained nominal power to secure the new loan. Neither France. England, Austria, nor England would have subscribed to enable Russia to wage/civil war. They loaned their money for a reorganization of the em- pire, but the court camaralla resolved to employ it for their own interests, breaking the promise Count Witte was authorized to make. The Government of Russia, the correspondent declares, is now being' carried on by secret in- fluences, the centre of which is Gen. Trepotf. whose authority has continual- ly gained since he quitted St. Peters- burg for Tsarkoe-Selo. ‘ .- n , 2.-- Diplomatic circles are profoundly im- pressed by the disclosure of the Govern- ment’s policy. The appointment of Gorcmykin as Count \Vitte’s successor is regarded as the most fatal event since the war. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph again pre- dicts that serious trouble will follow the retirement of Premier \\’itte. He says the autocracy is resolved to make another determined stand for existence, cost what it may, and in preparation for possible consequence eight more quick- firing guns have been sent to Moscow, bringing the total there to 32. The con- viction is universal that the Douma has been invited to a Burmecide feast. In- stead of a dessert there will be ructions. No conciliation is conceivable, no com- promise is possible between the Crown and the nation. A conflict is certain, unavoidable, imminent. Even Count Witte could not now avert it. The new Premier comes from a noble but, not prominent. family of Novgorod Province, where his estates are situ- ated. They are noted especially for the excellence of their cows and their dairy products, which are sent, to St. Peters- burg. In fact M. Gm‘emykin practically supplies the capital with milk. M. Gm‘mnykin is reported to be a mediocre man of insignificant appear- ance, as well as capacity.

Greely‘s headquarters. plans for relmildini,r the City of San Francisco with Government aid was discussed. There were present besides Gen. Urerl)’. James D. Phelan. Dr. Edwaird Devine, Mayor Schmitz. and Secretary Victor Mctcalf. ot the Department of Commerce and Labor. It was thought Secretary Mctoalf might be able to carry back to Washington a comprehensive idea of }the needs of this city, and the ideas of Some of her leading men that the dis- cussion was held. No definite request was made, nor was any plain of action fully outlined. PRAYERS OF HARDENED MEN. Locked in separate cells in the city prison, 100 prisoners. whose crimes range from plain drunkenness to bru- tal murder, knelt in prayer when the arthquake of April 18 shook the Hall of Justice from basement to tower top. Sin-hardened men and women appeal- ed to God to spare them. Their pray- ers for deliverance came only after it became apparent that. the attendants could do nothing.r for them. The earth- quake had so twisted and warped the cell locks that not. a door could be open~ ed for nearly an hour. City Engineer \\ oodward on Thurs- (lny submitted a comprehensive plan for the rebuilding of the city. It includes the broadening and the extension of many sheets, the purpose being to in- sure bettei protection against the spread of fire. A despntch from Sziin Jose, (1:11.. says: Architect Hudson, at Los Ange-10$. who has inspected the Asylum buildings, at Agnews, declares that all the buildings had been irreparably ruined. In his report to the Governor, Mr. Hudson will recommended the speedy erection of cot- tages to accommodate the patients un- til modern structures, not as highly as formerly, and which will be effected by neither fire nor earthquake, can be erec- ted by the State. ODD EFFECTS OF EARTHQUAKE. A dcspatch from Stockton, ($111., says: It has been discovered that in the vi- cinity of Woodbridgc, the Mokeluma River has fallen twelve feet, the bed :I the river having dropped from the ef- tccts of the recent earthquake shocki As the waterway has overflowed fre- quently, farmers alon the stream 'are highly pleased with h. change, since There is not yeL an adequate now of water for us in case of fire. Cooking is still carried on in the slreels. All of the banks resumed business 10-day in temporary quarters and reported that {Lt each place the deposits exceeded the withdrawals. Five hundred retailers are now operating in new quarters. “I never want. to witness such sights again,” said Prison Matron Ryan of the Central Station Prison, who was on duty when the tremble came. “There were oomething like 80 men and 22 women in the cells on the morning of the earthquake. in our departmnet here were abandoned creatures charg- e“ with all manner of crimes, many of whom i deemed hopelessly lost. They cried and shrieked for mercy when the shock came. and pleaded pitifully for release. Not one cell could he opened, and when t advised my charges of this tact they knelt on the hard cement floor and offered up a fervent prayer in uni- Son. “In the department of the male pris- oners the conditions were the same. and many of the men attempted to destroy their lives by battering their heads against. the steel bars when they rea- li'led there was no chance {or immedi- ate release. They, too. prayed when the attendants in charge managed in get them calm enough, and when it was all over it was a meek and humble hun- dred that we removed to the branch county jail.” CLEANING A\\‘AY DEBRIS. Curtailment of the relief list, together with the decision of the police to arrest. as vagrants all able men without vis- ible means of support. who refuse to work, to-day added to the number of men cngngcd in cleaning away debris from the recent earthquake and fire. ing chimneys is proceeding rapidly. The inspectors are all architects or buildurs and are domiling their services for lhe binellt of householders. Every chim- nvy in the city will be thoroughly in- spected before any permits are issued to make tires indoors. FAC’I‘ORlliS STARTING UP.
