Friday.

Niederroeyer, whq was hanged first, had to be carried to the scaffold because of hi* desperate ittempt it suicide last Monday. Straps were placed over his ankles and just above his knees. He was then placed on a truck and wheeled to one of the lower floors of the jail, after which he was carried to the scaffold and placed in a chair on the trap. He wore a red rjjse, but no coat. He was wot asked the customary question if he had anything to say, and the rope was quickly placed about his neck. He inatinctively settled his neck into the noose and the trap was sprung at 1035 A- M.. The physicians announced that his neck had been broken. . During the reading of the death -warrant Niedermeyer snatched the paper from the chief deputy's hand •nd placed it in a pocket. He made angry remarks at this time, and once cr twice, when he was being taken to

the scaffold.

Shortly after it o'clock Marx was ' kd to the scaffold, neatly dressed und with a white rose, which had been given him by his small sister the night before. He was pale, but his courage never left him. He made no statement. Two priests of the Roman Catholic Church, of which Marx had become a member, accompanied him to the gallows. He repeated the litany with them, kissed a cricifix. after which the jailer adjusted the ^noose,

ALEXIEFF WOULD 60

iceray Asks the Czar is Eeaevc Hia •* IBs Pest St. Petersburg (By Cable)—Viceroy Alcxieff has applied by telegraph Ur •he Emperor to be relieved of his position of Viceroy in the Far Ij^st. It is expected that the request wilh ec immediately granted. The immediate cause of the Viceroy's application is reported to be the appointment of Vice-Admiral Skrydltiff, one of Alcxieff’s strongest enemies and sharpest critics, a* successor to the late Vice-Admiral Makaroff in command of the Russian navy in the Far East. Vice-Admiral Sksydiuff had an interview with the Emperor and discussed the question of hi*. relations with Alcxieff. The relieving from command of Viceroy Alcxieff would not surprise intelligent observers of the Far Eastern situation who are familiar with the gradual change in the Emperor’s tttitude toward the Viceroy and M. bezobrazoff, who represented the militant, or advanced element which wax anxious that Russia should remain its Manchuria. It was to these two men that the Anglo-Japanese entente first lost itx terrors. They believed that Great Britain would not go to war and that Japan could not do so. To the indig-: nation of Japan they succeeded nr .turning the policy of the Empire frona carrying out the treaty for the entire <vacillation of Manchuria, pending ■ further demands on China, on August

12.

After Japan had submitted an in.quiry as to whether Russia was disposed to reopen the negotiations resjiecting Manchuria and Korea, a viceroyalty in the Far East, a special envoy of state and an advisory- com- • ir.Utee were created. Alcxieff being appointed Viceroy and Bezobrdzoff
