The culmination of the horrores of Tabriz has come in the form of a bombardment and massa cre which wiped out the remaining revo bit ionists ami left t he city finally iu t ho complete con t l id of t he ( 'oss.lcks under pay from tin shah, according to a news agency message received here to day. Hundreds were killed. The bombardment was directed at the universities quarter of Tabriz and the firing continued until that sect in u was completely destroyed. The report says I hat the Cossacks slaiii.hfd machine guns iu the sti.el and literally swept lliem with bullets. Bodies of the victims murk the courses of the deadly firing. A horrible feature of t he slaughter was that the offers of the practically lulpless revolutionists to surrender were unheeded and the butchery was contin ued until every revolutionist who could oe found was killed. Dispatches say I hat ihe revolutionists, after becoming crazed with hunger and the loss of relatives and friends, refused food from 1 he soldiers and declared t hey wnnld fight until they died. The shah recently dispatched a new detachment of 1 roups from Teheran with orders to put down the uprising and it is supposed I hat t he bombard uieiit was started when I hey arrived and announced the instructions from the ruler. The dispatches today indicate I hat i he Cossacks at length hae practical ly exterminated the revolutionists and it is believed their cruellies can not be extended further. The I 'mini quarter was the sect ion in which the revolu t ionists finally made their headquarters. TO PROTECT TROUT IN M'KENZIE TRIBUTARIES LTtiKXK.

The Ktouho Tillicum club will have a handsome new home by the oponing oi in.) university. The foundation has been completed aud carpenters are tiro- paring to rush the building as fast as pOBBihie. it will accommodate between 20 nnd 25 girls.
