Pumping Problem for Irrigation Has
Not Been, Solved.
Twelve Members Arrested and Placed
in Dungeon— Chance Leads to
Discovery o f Explosive.
St. Petersburg, A p ril 0 ■At last the
terrorists have succeeded in penetrating
the eordon of guards about the esar,
and in amnggling high exploaivea into
the palace itself, and aa a result there
is a feeling of apprehension among all
o f the high officials and the guards
about his majesty have been trebled.
Late yesterday afternoon, as the
guard at the palace was being changed,
Lientenant Colonel Shiranpeky, who
was in command, noticed that one of
the Ceeeacks who had been posted at
the mala door was wearing the sword
of an infantry officer, and not the sabre
o f a Cossack.- H e thereupon called a
corporal and placed the man under ar
rest. He waa at once searched and in
criminating documents were found on
Search of the palace revealed two
packages of dynamite, placed against
the main door of the imperial suite, in
a dark corner where they were not
lik ely to be noticed.
A searching inquiry Was at once in
stitnted, with the reeult that 12 secret
police agents were arrested as accom-
pliea, and all were hurried to the Peter
and rjip l fortress, where they were
iiiterviewdfi-by General Trepoff.
The fact that the terrorists have suc
ceeded iq corrupting members of the
secret police and soldiers has caused
much alarm, and another attempt
against a high official is looked for. *
Waahington, A p ril 7.— The attention
of the director of Uie geological eur-
vey haa been called to the fact that a
misapprehension exiata on the part of
certain citizens o f Idaho aa to the plana
of the reclamation aervice in regard to
some important details relating to the
Minidoka project.
Thia misnnder
standing has arisen, it is believed, by
season of the efforts of many settlers to
anticipate the plans of the engineers
and secure choice holdings of land.
The government from the drat has
warned intending settlers to go slow in
making entries on the lands embraced
in this project, and has called particu
lar attention to the fact that the plana
for irrigation, especially those involv-
ing tba pumping plant, were merely
tentative, aud could not be worked ont
as quickly aa those for the gravity sys
tem. W h ile nothing has arisen to pre
vent the ultimate development of a
pumping plant, so many delicate en
gineering features are involved that
careful consideration must be given to
theee before any definite conclusions
are reached or the final plans are ap-
proved
Thus, apparently, while^ no raaaun
the pnmping
exists for believing
featnree of the Minidoka project w ill
not ultimately be utilised, the engineers
very wisely have concluded to give thia
question more stndy and consideration
before recommending it for construc
tion.

"
Lahore, British India, A p ril 7.— As
the particulars filter in from the outly
ing district«, it is being revealed that
the casualties caused by the earthquake
of two days ago have lieen under, rather
than over-estimated. In one spot alone
at Dhamala, it is reported that fully
1,400 natives have been killed or in
jured. Of the injured many w ill die.
8even of the Europeans previously re
ported hurt have since died, and two
others are in a dying condition.
There is not a house left in the vicin
ity that does not show evidence of the
trembling of the earth.
This is the report from one district
alone, and as authentic information
comes in it seems certain that the mag
nitude of the disaster w ill be sufficient
to stir the entire world when fu lly re
vealed.
