IN LONELY COUNTRY VILLA Death of Betrayer of People, was Prob ably on April Tenth Police Find the Body in an Old Vacant House ST. PETERSBURG, May 13.-Tbe mystery of the fate of Father Gapon was opparently cleared up today by the discovery of a corpse which was almost positively identified a that of a former priest, hanging in an upper chamber of a lonely villa in a summer suburb of Ozerkl. The villa wa sold April 8. and a de posit paid by an unknown man from St. Petersburg who after several visits to the place with a young workman disap peared April 11. The proprietors of the villa, became alarmed at the non appear ance of the tenant, and informed the police who entered the house. Breaking down the door they were confronted by body In a long coat hanging upon a nail, the feet touching the floor. The decomposition of the face made identi fication difficult, but the features re sembled those of Gapon and the clothing corresponded to that worn by the miss ing man. As the usual symptoms of strangula tion were absent, it is conjectured the man was murdered elsewhere and the body brought to the villa on April 10. This would agree with the date of the execution of Gapon given in the infor mation of the1 secret police and with the death of the former sentry of the priest as announced in dispatches from Berlin.

RATE DILL AGAIN Senate Will Once More Take Up Rate Bill. MORE SPEECHES EXPECTED No One Can State How Long the Meas ure Will Receive Senate's Atten tion Tillman is Very Anxious For Vote. WASHINGTON, May 13. The senate will resume the consideration of the railroad rate bill today and no one can say how long that measure will con tinue to receive attention. Tillman ex presses' great anxiety for a vote but the probabilities are that many more sena tors will desire to be heard first. .It is not improbable that the question of Tillman's negation with the President will again be reviewed. With the rate bill out of the way, the senate will probably become dormant for several days as many senators are worn out with their exertions snd very likely to seek a few days rest. In the House Monday and Friday will be occupied by routine matters, the naval appropriation bill will probably be disposed of during the first half of the week and then will come a contest between the Pure Food bill, and the naturalization bill and the bill amend ing immigration laws for consideration is next. The pure food bill seems to have the best chance of success. In the Russian parliament the agrar ian problem is the all important prob lem at present and an early solution will be strived for. The amnesty cry been raised and undoubtedly will be kept to the fore. The present week will also see the lower house's reply to a speech from the throne. INDIAN SKELETONS.

Senator Tillman today made public part of the written statement to him by ex-Senator Chandler previous to May 12. The por tion given out by Tillman b largely a repetition of the first part of Tillman's statement in the Senate yesterday. It covers, however, that portion where Tillman quoted Chandler as saying the President had stated he had come to a complete disagreement with the Sena torial lawyers who were trying to de feat or injure the bill, naming Messrs. Knox, Spooner and Foraker, regarding which statement Senator Lodge subse quently said he was authorized to soy from the White House, that it was an unqualified falsehood. On this subject Chandler referring to the President said in his written statement: "He said that he had been much troubled by the pos sibility of an unlimited court of review by some of the lawyers of the senate naming Senators Knox, Spooner and Foraker, as trying to injure or defeat the bill by ingenious constitutional arguments, but that he had come to a complete disagreement with them. He made this point emphatic by repetiton." Tillman in his statement today states that on May 5th he insised on having from Chandler a written statement of the various conferences by the lattw, in PARLIAMENT STRUGGLES. ST. PETERSBURG, May 13.

He declined, however, to be brought further into the controversy at this time saying he would let the mat ter rest for the present on the state ment made public by Tillman.
