Gets Credit for Referring Drngo Doc trine to The Hngue How About the Monroe Doctrine? LONDON, Aug. 23. (Special.) South American affairs and ambitions have been very much in the eye of Europe this week, the chief topics being the financial con sequences of the Chilean earthquake and the decision of the Pan-American Con gress to submit the Drago doctrine to the next conference at The Hague. Mr. Root has come in for general com mendation, because the press of Great Britain, Germany and France believe it was his personal Influence more than any thing else that' prevented the congress from taking the unwise and provocative step of declaring the doctrine to be a part of International law without further ado. On this point the attitude of the Berlin press is highly flattering to the Americans. So. far from adopting the In solent tone in which a leading Russian paper referred recently to Mr. Root's par ticipation In the congress and ..is visit to South America a ludicrous burlesque of the policy of the' Washington Govern mentthe German writers admit the fair ness of his course In overruling the mis taken Latin sentiment that too long has perverted the administration of South American States, "The sound principle that Europe should be Invited to give assent to departures In international law," says one of the best reviews of the question printed in Paris, "is clearly established by all the American republics. Will the day dawn , when the Monroe Doctrine, which is as arbitrary an assumption as the ' Drago doctrine shall be merely presented for International approval? Is Washington willing to follow its logic to the end? Most of the financial authorities believe Chile will be able to face the complica tions following the earthquake without calling upon her European backers for funds. They are Inclined also to estimate the pecuniary loss as far beneath the ca bled estimates. But the feeling In Lon don and Paris Is that American bankers will seize this opportunity to tighten the "bonds between New York, Chicago and the new Valparaiso. ROOT'S PROGRAMME IN CHILE Arrives on Straits and AVill Go to Valparaiso. SANTIAGO. Aug. 25. The United States cruiser Charleston, with Secretary Root on board, has arrived at Punta Arenas, on the Strait of Magellan.

The Minister will go to Lota on a Chilean cruiser. A great reception had been planned here for Mr. Root, but all the plans were changed as a result of the earthquake. The Secretary Is ex pected to arrive at Valparaiso about Sep tember 3. His reception there will be in formal, and he will come to Santiago to extend his personal condolence to Presl-, dent Rieseo. Hlgglns Repudiates Barnes. ' LAKE PLACID, N. Y., Aug. 25. Governor Higgins, who is stopping "here, said today regarding the state ment of William Barnes, Jr.. chairman be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor: "I have not directly or indirectly au thorized any person to speak for me as to my future Intentions politically. The question which I hear most frequently asked is: 'Why are a few individuals. Including an ex-Governor, trying to determine the result in advance of the convention of their partyT Is this due to an attempt to serve two masters?1 " Beyond this brief statement the Gov ernor would enter into no discussion of his political answer or the political situation in general.

N. Smith last Thursday, today was again placed on trial in the same court.

After hearing testimony regarding young Lane's remarks. Judge Smith continued the in quiry until next Monday. Mrs. Martha Hummer, mother of Mrs. Willcott, testified that young Lane came to their home Immediately upon his re lease from jail and said: "Oh, I had no fear of going over the road. I knew a week ago that I would be paroled. My father came down from Oakland with 1 20, 000 in cash to get me out." Robert 8. McCall, a young "trusty" in the County Jail, testified that on return ing from court after he was found guilty, young Lane said: "I'll never go up. Money will do anything." Detective Captain Paul Flammer intro duced Police Court records to show that Lane had sworn falsely when he applied for parole, in saying that he had never been arrested. The records Bhowed that he was fined 5 for 'unmercifully beat ing" Jesus Chavese, a 17-year-old. Lane then admitted It. Mrs. Willcott testified that Lane had once drawn a revolver and threatened to kill her, being disarmed by bystanders. Lane is now in jail.

Aug. 25. The at tention of the military authorities has been drawn to the service uniform of the American Army and its qualities of serv iceability and invisibility are greatly ad mired. At the conclusion of the recent guard maneuvers at Krasnoye-Selo, Em peror Nicholas summoned Major Gibson in order to make a personal Inspection of the olive green khaki which the Major was wearing, saying he had been watch ing it for several days and had been struck by Its lnconspicuousness at a com paratively short distance, and he desired to call the attention of Minister of War Rudiger to the uniform. Major Gibson later, at General Rudlger's invitation. called at the Ministry of War and showed the General suits of infantry and cavalry uniforms. The military authorities also are considering American accoutrements, including web cartridge belts and cavalry saddles, with a view to their adoption. Nebraskans Pass Through Chicago, CHICAGO, Aug. 25. A special train of eight Pullman cars and observation cars passed through Chicago today, each car bearing huge banners on the sides with the inscription "Nebraska I Welcomes Bryan Home." On the train STOLYPIH'S HOME (Continued From Pago 1.) little coterie of Nihilists under the direc tion of Jeriaboff made 28 attempts against the Emperor and high officials, 14 of .which were successful. At the head ef the present organization is a prominent revolutionary who is considered to be an organizer equal, if not superior to Jeria boff. All the members of the organiza tion had due notice that today's attempt on the Premier would be made and went Into hiding. Started Tunnel to House. It has become known that an attempt upon M. Stolypln was frustrated ten days ago by the discoverey of the beginning of a subterranean passage from the wall of Granadier Church, adjoining his residence. The mining of palaces and residences formerly was a favorite method of the Nihilists, but has not been used of recent years. Emperor Nicholas, when apprised of to day's disaster, sent his personal congrat ulations to Premier Stolypin on his es cape, and the Cabinet Ministers and many members of the diplomatic corps, includ ing Mr. Eddy, the American Charge d Af faires, tendered expressions of sympathy. News received here from Peterhof is to the effect that feeling runs high against the revolutionaries in court circles. Later details show that the authors of the outrage drove up to the Premier's res idence after the list of visitors had been closed. Ine servants refused them admis sion, at which they attempted to force an entrance to the house. A struggle en sued at the entrance to the anteroom ad joining the reception-room, during the course of which the terrorist, disguised as a gendarme, dropped . a bomb, which exploded, destroying the anteroom, the adjoining guardroom, part of the reception-room and also the balcony of the first floor. The Premier, who was receiv ing visitors in a private room, was only slightly Injured. The principal loss of life occurred in the anteroom. Altogether there were 60 victims of the explosion, Including 27 persons killed. Stolypin Foresaw Danger. When SI. Stolypin aefcepted the Premier ship he was perfectly conscious of his personal danger. One of his remarks at a recent interview was: "I have no doubt that attempts will be made upon my life, but I hope that order will be restored and stability established in Russia before they are successful." As a result of inquiry, it was learned tonight that the men who threw the bomb came here from Moscow via War saw. They took lodgings in Morskaia street and today hired a carriage, in which they visited one of the open-air Summer theaters prior to going to Pre mier Stolypin's. The chief of the assas sins, whose body is now guarded by troops, la apparently about 25 years old. He wore a brand-new uniform, beneath which he had on a civilian vest of very dirty linen. A few days ago & retired officer named Bodorykin attempted to warn Stolypin of the threatened assassination, but he was refused admission to the Premier. On the order of Deputy Minister Makaroff the man has been examined before a magis trate. Stolypin's s-year-old boy had his right hip broken and received a gash on the head. Both the boy and the 15-year-old daughter of the Premier, who died, were covered with sand and dirt, the balcony upon which they were sitting collapsing in ruins from the explosion. At the moment of the explosion, M. Stolypin was closeted with two marshals of the nobility, who declare that there were two or three explosions. M. Stoly pin's first question was for the members of the family. He himself freed his children from the plled-up debris with which they were covered. Later In the evening he visited them twice in the hos pital ' At a late hour tonight there were 28 corpses and. 24 wounded persons in the St. Petersburg Hospital, all brought from the Stolypin residence. of the Republican State Executive Com- 1 were 114 Nebraskans, Including seven DETAILS OF THE EXPIOSION Terrorists Effect Massacre With Bomb Meant for Trepoff. BT. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25. The correspondent of the Associated Press visited the scene of the explosion and obtained from one of the Premier's sec retaries, from a Sergeant of the police and from the survivors the following account of the explosion at M. Stoly pin's residence. The police sergeant, who was stand ing at a corner of the house about 20 yards from the entrance, noticed a lan dau drawn by a good pair of horses, roll up the carriage way and stop in front of .the door. Three occupants of the carriage, one of whom wore the uniform of an officer of the gendarmes, and the others being in the livery of functionaries of the Ministry of the In terior, and who were ostensibly laugh ing and chatting as they approached the house, descended from the carriage, one of them carrying an article about a foot high, resembling a gilden vase. Explosion Like Cannon-Shot. They ascended the steps, passing di rectly in front of the policeman at the door, and had barely disappeared inside when a thunderous explosion was heard. The police sergeant, who fa ad started to walk toward the landau, thinks that the revolutionist carrying the bomb must have dropped it, acci dentally or intentionally, in the little ante-room of the porter's lodge. Just inside the entrance. The explosion, which was louder than the report of a cannon, tore out a large section of the front wall of the villa, demolished the partition walls inside and brought the upper story down in clouds of mortar and splintered weod. When the dust had cleared away slightly, the sergeant saw the mangled body of the porter, a policeman and three revolutionists on the ground in front of the door. The landau, which had been stopped direct ly in front of the entrance, was lying on the driveway, a mass of twisted and shattered wood and iron. About ten yards from the soldier was the driver who, it is thought, was also a revolutionist, and who had been killed on the spot. . At the moment of the explosion a large reception-room at the left of the ante-room was filled with a great con course of officials and visitors. M. Stolypin himself was in the re iisnttnn m i-TV1nBT rr'hfiliVlsttort To. his office, which was still further to the left, were three of his secretaries j and a footman. The violence of the ex plosion was such that it tore out the wall between the reception-room and the Premier's office, in addition to do ing the other damage mentioned, kill ing one of the secretaries, and the footman and wounding another secre tary. It was from the latter that the correspondent of the Associated Press obtained these details. The fourth who was in the office escaped uninjured. Every one in the villa and Its vicinity was thrown to the ground by the shock. After the explosion of the bomb a few moments of stupefaction followed among the injured survivors and per sons In the neighborhood, until a num ber of soldiers from a grenadier regi ment rushed to the spot and com menced to carry away the dead and wounded from the villa, which had now caught fire as a result of the explosion. For over one hour after the explo sion there was a scene of the great est confusion at the villa. A great concourse of spectators gathered there, handling horrible remnants of the tragedy and carrying some of them away as souvenirs. The police appar ently had lost their presence of mind, for they did little or nothing until the arrival fit M. Makaroff, the Assistant Minister of the Interior, under whose orders the villa's remains were cleared and an investigation of the tragedy begun. Like Bomb Which Killed Alexander. According to statements of survi vors, none of the overpowering fumes accompanying the explosion of melin ite, lyddite or pyroxoline was noticed after the explosion and it is thought the bomb was charged with camphor dynamite, which is extensively used in loading ' the revolutionists' bombs and which explosive wsb employed in the assassination of Alexander II. Among its advantages is the fact that it is safer to handle than ordinary dyna mite and it is also more powerful. A revolutionist with whom the cor respondent of the Associated Press conversed conjectured that the bomb probably was the one prepared last Summer for the assassination of General Trepoff, which was gotten Up so as to resemble a handsome gilded, vase, or one simi lar to it. A woman was to have pre sented the bomb to General Trepoff, but she lost her nerve, owing to a long wait In his ante-room, and de parted without seeing .the General. Later the woman was arrested, but the bomb, which was a very expensive ar ticle and difficult to prepare, Is said to have been held in reserve for another occasion. Stolypin's Death Sentence. While the correspondent of the As sociated Press was at the Stolypin villa a piece of torn, bloody paper was taken from the fragments of flesh representing the dead revolutionist. This was the Premier's sentence of death, passed on him by the fighting organization of the Social Revolution ists, which, contrary to custom, was not sent to the Premier in advance. With what was left of the revolution ists three revolvers, two of them auto matic, were found. Later reports do not confirm the death of Colonel Stein. The children of M. Stolypin were not injured by the actual explosion, but by being hurled to the ground when the floor of the balcony which they were occupying was blown up by the ex plosion. Immediately after the outrage the long avenue of lime trees in which the Stolypin villa is situated was barred at both ends by cavalry and no one was allowed to pass except high offi cial personages, going to the house to express their condolences and ascer tain the full extent of the calamity. Additional troops soon arrived from all directions and excited crowds gath ered in the neighboring streets. OFFICIAIi VERSION OF AFFAIR Men Were Disguised and One Acci dentally Dropped Bomb. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25.-According to the official account of the attempt on M. Stolypin's life, it appears that at 4 o'clock this afternoon a carriage contain ing four persons, two dressed in civilian clothes and two in foreign military uni forms, drew up at his villa; ' The men entered the antechamber, one of them holding his helmet in his hand as though concealing a bomb, which accidentally fell in the antechamber. " General Zameatln was instantly killed and M. Veronin, a court chamberlain, who was attending the Premier's official re ception, was decapitated, while all the other persons in the antechamber, includ ing the three men accompanying the In dividual who carried the bomb, were killed. The legs of M. Stolypin's daughter, the official account adds, were so severely Injured that they had to be amputated and death ensued. His son had a leg broken. Prince Shachowskl, who was in an apartment adjoining the antechamber, was injured. The coachman of the cat riage which brought the terrorists to the villa was killed and the vehicle was destroyed, but the horses were not much injured. M. Khovostoff, ex-Governor of the Province of Prenza, and Court Cham berlain Davidoff were among those killed. The fact that two of the assassins were disguised as gendarmes doubtless was due to an effort on their part to make it appear that they were escorting a polit ical prisoner, the third man of the group being attired In the clothes of a civilian. The police authorities this afternoon de clared that the assassins carried port folios which, it is believed, contained bombs.
