Tokio, July 14.—An eyewitness of the Japanese bombardment of Karsa- korsk wires that the Russian forts were silenced on July 7 after the ex- change of a very few shots, The piers, warehouses and other buildings were set on fire and the conflagration was reflected by the iog. verting the sky into one mass of blood red color. The .Japanese army landed amidst the fire, which was fast spread- ing to the forts, from the tops of which the bewildered inhabitants were seen fleeing in every direction, carrying with them what property they could remove. The fires were not subdued for over forty-eight hours. The Russian cruiser Novik, which was destroyed by the Japanese at Kar- sakorsk last August, and the ruined town and forts are sad witnesses of the rapidity with which destruction is wrought in modern warfare.

Witce's Notabie Career. Sergius Witte, the Kussian plenipo- teutiary, may be regarded as the lead- ing liberal statesman of Russ For the last thirteen years he has been one of 1he strongest personalities in the Russian bureaucracy, although his political jortunes suffered a setback when he was compelled to resign the portfolio of minister of finance in Au- gust, 1903, and again when, after being appointed president of the council of ministers in the same month, his office gradually lost its importance until ru- mors of his iztention to resign and go abroad had been persistently circulat- ed. Witte is about fifty-six years old and has steadily worked his way up from the position of an underpaid rail- Toad clerk who occasionally acted as porter to that of tke leading statesman of Russia in spite of the fact that his enemies are numerous and include some of the most powerful in Russia. In appearance he is a man of large Stature, big limbed and muscular, stunding over six feet high. Witte as the reputation of Leing harsh to ubordinates, but his honesty and have never been doubted even is worst enemies. He was creal ed a count in 1801. M. Witte is thoroughly familiar with the Far Eastern question in ali its bearings. SESSION SUSPENDED. Vioient Scene in the French Chamber of Deputies.

St. Petersburg, July 14.—The resig- nation of M. Bouligan as minister of | the interior is expected daily. General Trepoft, the assistant minister of the i interior, will probably be his successor. The terrorists have recently renew- { ed their warnings against General Tre- poff with ominous persistence, The general is constantly in receipt of let- ters signed by the executive commit- tee of the fighting organization in- forming him that his hour has come. A .remarkable feature of all the com- munications is that the writers all take pains to say that no safeguards will avail to avert his impending doom. At the same time they tell him he need not he afraid to go abroad in the streets. They add: “Your sentence will be executed in your own room. You will die in bed.” The terrorists seem to take pride in issuing a challenge involving a demon- stration of their power and resources to penetrate the’armor of the police. Moreover, General Trepoff knows enough of the resources and desper- ateness of the orgamization to firmly believe that the terrorists are able to execute their threat. He makes no concealment of the fact that he ex- pects to be killed, but his nerve is unshaken. “I will at least die at the post of duty,” he said. oiTvately General Tyepoff takes a | sloomy view of the furure of the au- tocracy, in which he believes. The general is confident that if given un- i trammelied power hie could restore the old status guo in a year, but the pres- ent vacillating policy, he thinks, will only end in ruin.

Senator Depew further says: “That loan never could have been. made unless the official appraisers of the Equitable board reported after ex- amination that $250,000 was only 60 per cent of the property’s value, such being the rule of the society, and that on such a report the officers of the company had unanimously approved i WELCOMED TO PARIS.
