EUROPE APPLAUDS ROOT

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 Charles
ton will reach Lota, 300 miles south of
Valparaiso, August 29, where Secretary
Root will be received by the Chilean For
eign Minister and the American Minister,
Mr. Hicks. 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.

the County Jail, testified that on return
ing from court after he was found guilty,

ence in attending meetings, but the

holders In Germany, and that the Mu
tual had from 6300 to 7000.

ST. PETERSBURG. 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.

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.

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.
