Russia--The Russian Co spiracy.

The N. Y. Tribune translates the fol.
lowing Interesting details concerning the
Russian conspiracy which has just been
furnished:
1t appears that the plan of the con-
splracy was>torned by very young man,
Nicholas kaschkine, who has the title OF
honorary councillor on the list of condemn
ed Betrayed! by one OF the numerous
informers that are kept in large numbers
by the Russian police, whenever it sus-
pects any hostile intentions, kaschkn
was arrested, then taken to the Cabinet
of the Car, who received him with an
unexpected kindness aud atfabilty
you are young III. Kaschkine, and
you have another excuse still better" I"
said the magnanimous Emperor Under
color of politics, you have wished, as |
conjecture. to satisfy the desire of ven
geance, excited by what you consider the
unjust conformation of your father The
power which retains him in Siberia can
not be legitimate in the eye of good son.
aud comprehend the ilnprudent anger
which has placed you in my hands. But
| shall. not abuse he terrible power which
have over you, and if your repentance shall
suggest to you confessions which may
justify an absolute pardon-it you will
disclose the details of the conspiracy, the
names OF your accomplices, everything
may be forgotten Your future prospects
shall not be compromised, your liberty
shall be restored TO you, aud so forth.
"Sir," interrupted M. Kascs!klne. "do
not go any further and, above ali, cor
rect your mistake. No desire of venge-
ance has inspired me with the thought
of bringing your dominion to an end. In
our family the condemnation of my father
is regarded as title of honor. For my
self, do not feel that I can add anything
to the glory with which it has crowned
our name. unless [ should be able to do
something for the annihlIation of your
race and of your degrading authority
There were witnesses to the conversa-
ticn, who clied out iii real or affected
horror. The Emperor alone preserved
his sang-froid.
This young nan is mad" said he; sit

quireS."
Il is. in fact, a mad house to which
haschkne has been sent. But of these
ladmen, ihauk God, the race is not lost
Russia. Il haelong been perpetuated
and We even ind 1t as far back as 1925,
At The date OF the conspiracy to which
MouranieH has given his name.
II is known that, IN defiance of the inn
perial statutes which had abolished the
punishment of deaIh it was pronounced
against several of the consplrators, aud,
10y refinement of cruelty, an infamous
punishment was chosen for them, and
one contrary to the national usages.-
Those who were put 10 death were hung
Two of them, one German, he other
a Russian-the one a philo sopher and
skeptic, the o her a believer aud tnlctured
with the mysticism of which the Emperor
Alexander gave some specimens more or
less in earnest-arrlvlng together at the
place OF punishment, were hoisted to-
lether at the fatal post. The executioner,
who was new 10 his task, had made bad
preparations. The Two ropes broke al
most at the same moment.
'D-d country" cried out the German
Peslil, "ihey don't even know how, 10
nalg ''Thank God..'' graveIy responded
the mystic RyIieff. Il shall die twice for
our holy cause.
.5y all hat we know OF those heroic
victinl>--and we know scarce one i'll
hundred-we can Judge what noble souls,
what lofty intellects, what Sublime de-
votIon. have peri>hed under the fatal
yoke OF Mu>covite oespotisn. For the
unknown, as well as those whose names
have come to us, rescued by chance from
the oblivion into which they were thrown,
let lis preserve the reverence which Is
their just due. Every day gives us fresh
assurance of the truth, long a 90 presaged
and declared, that 10 die or suffer for the
liberty of one people, is to die or suffer for
that of the whole world.
