An army order issued by (Jrand Duke Nicholas, who has been commandcr in chief of the Russian farces, conveys the information that Emperor Nicholas, in assuming supreme command of his arm forces, has supplanted the grand duke The order is addressed to "the valiant army and fleet."

The grand duke thanks them for their heroism in the past. He predicts that, with the em peror loading them they will perform fresh exploits. The text of the. army order announcing his assumption of command, issued and signed by the emperor, is quoted as follows: "Today I have taken supreme com mand of all my forces of the sea and of the land armies operating in the thca tre of war.

"With firm faith in the clemency of Ood and with unshaken assurance of final victory, we shall fulfill our sacred duty to defend our country to the last. We shall not dishonor the Russian land." The action of Emperor Nicholas in transferring his cousin, the grand duke, to the Caucasian front, is perhaps the most important change, of this nature which has been made by any of the be 1 ligerent nations.

Mr. Ryan objected again and Judge Eichhorn sustained the objection.

The examination of the. talesmen then proceeded as follows: "I will ask you that if it develops that the members of the grand jury in this case were investigated, with refer ence to their competency by the police department who are paid by the taxpay ers and also the Democratic organiza tion, would that affect your ot innocence' of the accused?" asked Mr llonehe. "No sir. it would not," replied Frasrier. "Have, you ever reaU any articles in the Indianapolis Star and the Indiana Times purjiorting to have been written by a certain gentleman by the name of Willis Thompson, purporting to deal with the facts in this cose as lie views them?" "'No sir." "If it is the policy of the law with reference to election fraud cases to reach the higher ups, those large beneficiaries of election frauds, and to use what may be termed the lower downs, or small in dividual, or stool pigeons, to accomplish that purpose, would you be biased against the prosecution in that respect?" Ryan objected to the.

form of the question and the court sustained the ob jection Form of Question Brings Objection. "Will you give evidence or testimony more correctly speaking, of alleged CO' conspirators, the weight to which it is legally entitled, and not lie biased against such testimony by the fact that they have participated in the conspiracy and their testimony is legal and consis tent with the ascertained policies of law with reference to this particular class of crimes?" Mr. Ryan objected to the form of the question and Roach asked the following qusetion: If the court instructs you that testi mony of this kind is entitled to due con sideration, will you follow the instruc tions of the court and give that testimony the consideration which you. think is due it?" "Certainly," replied Frazier. TEACHERS HOLD INSTITUTE.
