International matters are assuming a very serious aspect, according to a Herald dispatch from St. Petersburg. One of the most serious bits of news at this moment is th alleged confirmation of the statement that abroad the Japanese vessels of war at tacking Port Arthur were a number of American naval officers. This report has caused something akin to a feeling of consternation among the Russian officers. The emperor has issued the strong est orders, continues the dispatch, that no news whatsoever, be communi cated through the headquarters' staff. Further, he is deeply annoyed at the attitude recently adopted by the Rus sian press of writing upon the politi cal situation in a way calculated to raise enmity toward Russia by Eng land and also very specially, America. For instance, the St. Petersburg Ga1 eette has been prohibited, not as gen ; prally Is supposed for publishing false ! news about the war, but because of an accompanying article declared to have been highly insulting to England, ; The emperor is said to have decid ! id that no details of news are to be given out except upon matter of ma jor importance, that Is to say, of big: engagements. He does not wish that all kinds of small affairs shall be giv en undue importance. It is definitely stated that Kuropat-1 kin has resigned his position as min ister of war and wil be given an ap pointment as governor of Turkestan.

Va., Sunday were received ; here. j James Bowman, aged 16 years, shot and almost iastantly killed his father while the latter was severely caastis ing his wife, mother of the lad, in their home. The older Bowman scold ed his son and wh:n the boy's mother interfered her husband upbraided her. A general quarrel followed, and Bow man turned his attention to his wife. The boy demanded of his father that he stop whipping his mother. The senior Bowman did not heed the worn tng and the boy fired on his father with a shotgun, the contents taking effect in the head. Bowman died in a few minutes. The bov went to Welch, and gave himself up to the au thorities.
