Famous Secret Service Man, | Recalled From Exile, Soon | Captures Entire g it ST. PETERSBURG, April 18,—Grad- ually many rounding the recent arrest of a band of about two dozen terrorists are leaking out. ' The capture, which is régarded by the authorities as being of immense im- portance, was accomplished by Kashov- Band ! sky, the “Russian-Lecog,” who was dis- missed from the secret police several] years ago on account of his connection with Philippe, the spiritualist, who cre- ated such a stir at court several years ago and who, too, went to Paris to live. | Governor General Trepoff upon his appointment as Governor General of St. Petersburg induced Kashovsky to | return to St. Petersburg, and within two weeks the detective captured the entire band, which had been operating here under the direction of the central organization, which apparently has its headquarters in Switzerland. Alfred Henry McCullough, the man killed on March 11 by the accidental explosion of a bomb at the Hotel Bris- tol, whose real name was Bauman, was one of the chiefs of the terrorists, hav- ing charge of the manufacture of bombe, and Kalieff, who killed Grand Duke Sergius, also belonged to the same group. After* Bauman’s death Kalieff's duties developed upon Leon- tieff, daughter of General Leontieff, who recently was appointed Governor of Yakutzk, Eastern Siberia. Mile. Leontieff became a convert to terrorism during her stay at Lucerne, Switzer- land. Kalieff's identity was established through the discovery of a photograph belonging to Savinkoff, who has been his comrade both at the university and in exile. When Kalieff was charged in “Savinkoff has been arrested.” The police later thought 'they had captured Savinkoff and so announced publicly, but it turned out that thé man held under that name was another and that Savinkoff, dently had confided his intention of killing Grand Duke Sergius, is still | safe abroad. . Among the others captured was Mme. Ivanovitska, a sister-in-law of Koro- lenko, the Russian author. She was involved in the Nihilist plot to assas- sinate Emperor Alexander 1I, for which | she was sentenced to fifteen years in Siberia, but at the end of seven years she ‘escaped to America. Parhaps the most romantic feature is the fact that Mlle Leontieff converted two nieces of Governor General Tre- | poff, and Princess Denisheff to the doctrine of assassination and that after the arrest of her mentor, Mile. Trepoff actually attempted the life of her uncle, firing two shots at him, both of which missed. Thereupon the two girls Mile. Trepoff throwing' herself under & trein and Princess Denisheff shoot- ing herself. Neither of them succeeded in killing herself. The family has since tried to make it appear that the girls’ acts were the result of a mutual pact for self-destruction, both being in love with the same man, an officer of the guards. About 00 male and female students of the Conservatory of Music who have been connected with the agitation in favor of Rimsky Korsakoff, who was removed from his professorship in the conservatory because of his attitude toward the striking students, have been arrested and sentenced to a month's imprisonment. SR g o DEATH FOR AN ASSASSIN. Slayer of Grand Duke Sergius Found Guilty and Sentenced. MOSCOW, April 18.—Kaleieff, the as n of Grand Duke Sergius, was to-day found guilty and sentenced to death.

The only persons present through- out the trial were. members of the en- tourage of the late Grand Duke Ser- gius and counsel, of whom two were assigned to Kaleieff. The prisoner's mother was not admitted, but re- maineq in the corridor. Twelve witnesses were examined. Prior to passing sentence the Presi- dent asked Kaleleff if he would . re- peat the crime if he were given . his liberty, He replied: “Without doubt I would repeat it if ordered by the revolgtionary com- mittee to which I am attached.” ‘When sentence of death was passed Kaleieff shouted: “Execute your judgment as openly asl I have acted before the eyes of all” The dafe of execution has not been | specified. e T T LIEUTENANT EXDS Brother of a Woman Terrorist Com- mits Sulcide, ST.

NEW YORK, April 18.—A letter was given out to-night addressed to Presi- dent Alexander by James B. Hyde, | saying: | "1 see by the papers that you deny the statemewt contained in my letter ito Mr. Frick that you participated in the syndicates therein mentioned. If you made this denial, please inform me whether you received from me the fol- lowing checks”: Here follow details | of checks aggregating $61,447. James W. Alexander gave out two letters to-night, which he sent to | Henry C. Frick, chairman of the in- vestigating committee, and to James | H. Hyde, respectively. The letter to Frick, relating to syndicate profits, says: 5 deny that T have ever knowingly participated in the profits of any syndi- cate for the purpose of underwriting | bonds or secutities of which the society became a purchaser. Mr. Hyde's state- ment to the contrary is incorrect.” Alexander submits a letter written to him by Hyde on March 22, suggest- ing their reaching an agreemenut as to the proper disposition to be made of the syndicate transactions that have been criticized. In this letter Hyde states that he had drawn a check | for $63,233, his share of the syndicate | profits, and sent it to the society, to be retained or returned as the board should decide. Hyde’s lettér con- tinues: { THE DINNER TO CAMBON. | “There is also the matter of the Cambon dinner, the cost of which was thought a proper charge to advertis- ing, following the common custom of other companies concerning such en- tertainment: There is no legal lia~ bility about but as the dinner was given partly in my name I prefer per- sonally to pay its cost, which was $13,- 089. T have therefore sent my check for this amount.” Alexander states that under date of | March 24 he replied, saying: | “You are mistaken in saying that the receipt by you of syndicate parti- cipations or profits was a mere con- | tinuation of a custom which you found in existence when you came into the socisty. “I do not know from your letter how u make up the sum of $63,233 against | which, as you say you have made up | your mind there may be a reasonable | basis of claim that you should ac- count to the society. I am therefore not prepared to acquiesce in the sug- tion of your letter that it covers sthing in the category specified. | This is a matter which must be thor- oughly sifted. If you will have pre- pared a complete gtatement of the mat- { ters which are the subject of your let- ter, together with the records of your office in connection therewith, I will be in a position to pass upon them. I need not remind you that your office is in possession of all data on these subjects. SCORED BY ALEXANDER. s to the Cambon dinner: I must express my astonishment that it should have been treated as an adver- tising scheme which you supposed would benefit the Equitable Society. Until I received your letter I always | understood and believed that the din- ! ner was given by yourself and Senator Depew as a personal ang social com- | pliment to the French Embassador. So the invitations read and I person- ally accepted and attended as your guest on that supposition.\ How you | came to charge that dinner to the so- | ciety without the knowledge of the president is a subject upon which I | ask information. As the president of | the society, I also ask you.to let me knaw what, if any, other personal items you have paid for out of the | funds of the soclety.” | Alexander’s letter to Hyde, dated | April 18, follows: | “Replying to your letter of yester- | day, permit me to say that you well { know the disposition I made of the | checks in question and you have no | occasion for addressing an inquiry to { me on the subject. I decline to be drawn into a disingenious correspond- | ence with you for the purpose of cov- | ering your position and perverting the facts.” | SRR ST HYDE AGAIN ROUTED. | Young Millionaire Hissed at Meeting { of Agents. % NEW YORK, April 11.—After a ses- sion at the Hotel Savoy lasting nearly | six hours, the 200 odd managing agents | of the Equitable Life Assurance So- i clety from all parts of the United | States adopted resolutions late this afternoon asking the New York Legis- lature “to assert its plenary power by enacting an amendment to the society's charter,” this amendment to give the policy holders admission to the direc- torate of the socjety. The resolutions also provide that a committee consist- ing of one manager in every State in the Union and one from Canada, to- gether with the manager in New York city, should be named to visit Gover- nor Higgins and Superintendent of In- surance Hendricks and secure their assistance in getting the Legislature to act in the matter. This committee, representing the whole country, will be designated before the agents finally adjourn. : : To-day’s sessions were replete with developments. Several sets of resolu: tions were adopted. President Alexan- der made a brief gpeech. Vice Presi- | dent Hyde followed him and in the course of his remarks referred to the sale by second Vice President TarBell of the latter's interest in the renewal account to the company which brought forth a sharp retort from Tarbell. SHARP RETORT MADE. “I may have gold my renewal inter- ests,” said Tarbell, “but I will never be called upon to put any money back into the treasury of the soclety.” This declaration was greeted with cheers. ‘When Hyde arose to speak he was hissed by a general agent of the so- clety, who was said to be the leader in last night's movement to engage Jo- seph H. Choate, now American Embas- sador to Great Britain, to conduct an Investigation on behalf of the agents nto the society’s affairs. Hyde re- marked that any such reception really was a compliment and proceeded with what he had to say, undisturbed by the incident. He said if he had done any- thing wrong, financially or otherwise, or had participated in any wrong-doing by o he sho be “kicked out” and if any other icers of the society had been guilty of wrong-doing they should be thrown into the street. As he was leaving Hyde sald he would not return again to any confer- ence of the agents unless he was sent for, in which event he would be very glad to respond. At 5:50 o'clock this evening the agents adjourned, to meet again to-morrow morning. The first set of resolutions declared that the agents pledged their “unquali- fled support” to President Alexander and expressed their “entire confidence that the president will continue unfal- teringly and finish the work of mu- tuauzavt,lon that he has so courageously begun.” There was no reference in any of the resolutions to Hyde. Resolutions were adopted by the agents giving their ‘“‘unqualified ap- proval of the firm stand taken by Vice President Tarbell in his support of the president on the mutualization issue.” The resolutions declared that the funds in the surplus reserve of the company belong to the policy holders. LEGISLATIVE DISCUSSION. ALBANY, N. Y., April 18.—An all-day debate in the Senate chamber on a mo- tion to investigate charges azainst the Lquitable Life Assurance Society and the report of Superintendent Hend- ricks, who for the first time since the Equitable investigotion began talked on that topic with anything approach- ing freedom,brought the affairs of that corporation into sensational notice to- day. The subject came before 'the Sen- ate in the form of a resolution intro- duced by Senator Brackett to take from the insurance committee his bill to | facilitate policy holders’ suits for ac- countings. Being unable to Ret a favor- able report on this measure, Senator l}ragkel('secured a chance to voice his Vviews by putting in this resolution and having it made a special order of de- bate for this morning. The resolution was defeated by a vote of 36 to 7.

The May day festival committee has begun its' preparations for the May day fete to be held in Mechanics' Pa- vilion and has let contracts for the reconstruction work, which will ac- commodate the 1200 singers who will participate. About 4000 chairs will be placed on the lower floor, and the galleries will be fitted for the accommodation of & large number. Dressing-rooms for the chorus, the band and the singers will be constructed and a library for the sixty trunks of music will be installed with shelving and other conveniences. Much aid has been rendered to Miss Estelle Carpenter, the conductor, by Alex Stewart, who has been drilling the Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda sections every week since early in February. His work has been fval- uable and is highly apnreq?ated. The following annéuncement, 'with ; pro- gramme, has been jssued: ! 4 ¢4 The first reservationd for May festivals in Mechanics' Pavilion, Aprll 30 to May 7, wiil go on sale to-morrow morning at Sherman, Clay & Co.’s. - Thesé reservations will be for those 'holding the advance saie tickets and the coupon books, which have been selling freely through the various schools and music houses. These ¢arry with them the provision for thres days' advance selection of reservations, and it is the accommodation of these that i sought at this particular time, The regular public sale is to open next Mon— day at the same place. Meanwhile, mail or- ders for the regular sale will be received there, or at 356 City Hall, and selections will be made as nearly as possible to the «desired lo- cations, Yet those who have not bought reserved seats, exchangable advance tickets or books need not worry, but may get seats to-morrow, rather than next week. All teachers have these tickets and books, and this being vacation week they have not been called in. Also, the mu- sic houses have both. It is a pleasant little fiction, but still possible, for those desiring reservations now to walk up to a school teacher or music house, buy the exchangable tickets and go and get what they want. This isn’t supposed to be done, but it is quite pos- sible that it will be, nevertheless. The season couponi books have proved a de- sirable form of tickets for the festivals, sav- ing, as they do, $2 50 on each weekly serles. These are also secured anywhers by a lit— tle search. They cover every one of the events of the t week of music, these being as Tollows: Order of events by days—Sunday night, April 380, Inaugural night; Monday afternoon, May 1, children’s May day festival; Monday night, May 1, symphony night; Tuesday afternoon, May 2. professional matinee; Tuesday night, May 2 Porsifal night; Wedns ernoon, May 3, Liszt-Rubinstein matinee; Wednesday night, May 8, military night and perform- ance on any stage of Innes' ‘‘Americana’; Thureday afternoon, May 4 French-Rusian matinee; Thursday night, 4, oratorio night and production of Mendelssohn’s_great choral work, “The Hymn of Praise’: Friday afternoon, Mey 5, wmiscellaneous programme; Friday night, May 5 Wagnerfest; Saturday aftertoon, May 6, second children's ' festival of song; Saturday night, May 6, grand opera and popuiar music night; Sunday afternoon, May 7, miscellaneous programme; Sunday night, May 7. farewell nieht.

Man .Thinks of the ?’et and Changes Plan Charles Cook’s thirst for blood was appeased ‘ last night when he wan- dered ‘into his back yard and filled his pet dog With a load of buckshot. Be- fore performing this sharpshooter’s act Cook whiled away a few idle:mo- ments by chasing his wife -about - the house and trying to make up his mind whether to shoot her or the dog. He finally agreed to dispose of the ca- nine and now he is sleeping off a glo- rious jag in the City Prison, uncon- scious of the fact that trouble awaits him in the morning. Cook is- the proprietor of a coffee roasting establishment at 1947 Stock- ton street. Yesterday he went out for an airing and while strolling around town dropped into various places where the cheering beverage is always to be had. After stowing away a suitable quantity of the flery liquid, Cook started .for home. ‘When he arrived early in the even- ing he began to abuse his wife in such strong terms -that she was compelled to lay the matter before Policeman Hines. The latter called informally upon Cook and gave the coffee man a lecture on the etiquette of a husband. Cook promised to be good, so the bluecoat went away. But instead of being good, Cook started out on another tour of inspec- tion.. In his rambles he overlooked but few of the spirit emporiums and when he arrived home at a late hour he had forgotten all about the gallant police- man and his warning. Upon entering the house, Cook grab- bed his shotgun and proceeded to have a little fun at the expense of his wife, so the latter avers. He chased her from room to room, threatening the while that he would kill her as his thirst for gore was so great it must be appeased. - Suddenly Cook thought of.the dog. It was a happy thought for the wife, at least. The blood thirsty man rushed into the yard and catching sight of the pet canine fired twice. His aim was true, though his feet were wobbly, and the brute fell to the ground never to rise again. The shots attracted the attention of Officer Hines and he did a double quick hotfoot to the Cook abode to find Cook proudly standing over the corpse of the dog, his wife trembling with fear in the house. The officer quickly did his duty and locked Cook up in the City Prison. Cook said something about the dog’s trying to bite a child, but thxlg did not save him from going to Jail. —_— DEATHSSHADON ON JEFFERSON WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, April 18.—Joseph Jefferson at midnight is | gradually growing weaker. His trouble |is a complication of" diseases, from | which - he suffered last summer. His | physicians regard his condition as crit- | ical in the extreme, and while he may | die at any moment there is a possibil- ity that he will rally and live for days, or even weeks. The veteran actor realizes that his end is near and looks forward to it without fear. ~For a number of years past Jefferson and ex-President Cleveland have spent a week or twe of each year together fishing in Florida. It was on his return from one of these fishing trips that { Jefferson’s illness developed. He went to Hobe Sound about three weeks ago on his annual fishing outing, and re- turned about ten days ago to his home here after having taken a severe cold. Me held his own until yesterday, when his disease again took a turn for the worse and it was seen that the end was near. At Jefferson's bedside are his wife and sons, Charles B. and Frank Jeffer- son; his granddaughter, Marion Jef- ferson, and Mrs. G. Symons, together with his secretary, Carl Kettler, and his nurse, Mabel Bingham. Dr. Potter, his physician, and Dr. Worley of St. Augustine, who has been called In con- sultation, remain with him constantly. —_———————— LENDS MONEY TO STATE TO TRANSPORT.

It is much on the lines of last year’s measure, which the Govern- u]i)ént dropped on account of obstruc- tion. The secretary, in introducing the bill, commented upon the , increasing number of undesirable immigrants ar- riving in Great Britain.. He said the Government was dStermined to deal with this organized C. The measure prohibits Immigrants from landing except at ports where an immigration officer is stationed, and only with his consent and after a med- ical inspection. Immigrants may be refused permission to land f tnable to show that they are in a position to obtain means to keep themselves de- cently; if insape; if, on account of dis- ease or other causes, they are likely to become a charge on the taxpayers; if they have been sentenced abroad for an extraditable crime, not of a politi- cal nature, or if they have been pre- viously expelled from Great Britain. The Home Secretary may order the expulsion of an alien on a certificate om a court of law. The bill, however, provides that an alien shall not be refused permission to land on account of want of means if able to prove that he or shé is seek- ing admission to Great Britain solely to avoid persecution for political of- fenses. The bill passed its first reading. TUBERCULOSIS THEIR THEME ATLANTA, Ga., April 13—Dr. Au- gustus P.

Etlenne, Minister of the Interior, replying to interpellations, sald he deeply deplored the blood- shed. The authorities, however, he sald, were determined to maintain or- der while endeavoring to arrange a peaceful solution. Jaures (Socialist) argued that if American workmen i France declared a strike and caused disturbances they would be expelled, whereas the French army was placed at the disposal of American employ- ers (meaning the Havilands), who had occasioned the trouble. After Premier Rouvier had stated that the army had not been placed at any one's disposal, but that it had sim- ply been utilized for the preservation of order, the House voted confldence in the Government, 422 against 129. The strike riots at Limoges are de- veloping international features at the Haviland factory, employing 60,000 persons, of which Theodore and Charles Haviland (Americans) are the proprietors. Embassador Porter Is taking active steps to ensure the pro- tection of American interests against violence and to secure an adjustment between the proprietors of the factory and the workmen. He conferred with Foreign Minister Delcasse to-day concerning the precautionary meas- ures which the Government 1s taking. The situation is complicated by strong Socialist oppesition to the Government- sending troops to Limoges. -Riotous scenes led to the massing of large forces of cavalry and infantry at Li- moges, where they are now occupying the streets and public places. Three strikers were killed when the troops fired on the mob last night and meny were wounded. -_— MANT WOODVEN 1N CONVENTION LOS ANGELES, April 18.—The an- nual convention of the Pacific diviston of the Modern Woodmen of the World and the co-ordinate branch of the Grand Council of Women convened. in this city to-day.
