Mirsky.

chcumstanceg of Sviatopolk Mirsky
leaving the ministry of the interior
calls forth sympathy Xqward* this *.n-
cere and good man and bis unrealized
hope*."

marks that Sviatopolk Mirsky d'd not
possess the self-confidence necessary
to insist upon a program which had
the sympathy of the Russian people.
The Russ rofer* to the administra-
tion of Sviatopolk Mirsky as a "min-
istry of good intention." and adds “in

Indictment for Murder
To Be Asked for Hoch;
Women Claim Money
Chicago 111. Feb. 2. —An indictment for murder will be asked
by Coroner Hoffman against Johann Hoch the alleged possessor
of many wives.
"I am now in a position to say positively that the embalming
fluid injected into the body of Mrs. Marie Walker Hoch did not
contain arsenic" said the coroner today. "Arsenic was not a con-
stituent of any drugs administered by the physician who attended
the woman before her death. The fact that more than two and a
half ounces of poison were found in the organs means that Hoch
murdered his wife. The coroner's jury will doubtless hold Hoch
to the grand jury but if it fails to do so I will hold him under my
official prerogative. The inquest will not be held until Hoch
reaches Chicago some time next week.”
Two wives of Hoch have quarreled over money alleged to have
been found on Koch when arrested. Th* money is claimed by Mrs.
Fischer Hoch because she was the last one he deserted. Mrs. Hen-
dricks Schmitt-Hoch also lays claim to $5OO of the $6OO now said to
be in possession of the New York police as she gave up that amount
when Hoch bade her adieu. Both women threaten to attach the
monev. .

CZAR'S RECEPTION OF WORKMEN
IS VIEWED WITH MUCH FAVOR.
St. Petersburg Feb. 2.—The Novoe Vremya says the emperor’s

lishment of internal peace which constitutes the best guarantee and
