secret way by which the paper comes j
not to be discovered. The Sen,la Srabo

1t costs six roubles year 10 annual sub
scribers-so, at least, we are informct
by the announcement inviting new sub
scribers which is printed at the head 0
this strange periodical. Shall we cal
this audacity or banter?
"The editors of the Land and Libert!
quite coolly invite readers to subscrib'
to their paper, as though it was mer'
matter of course. They further inform
us what pamphlets have recently beef
republished, and what will shortly ap
pear and to this announcement the!
add the intimation that these publica
tions are to be bought for so much, a
the we'll known places The form of th'
revolutionary newspaper itself yer!
nearly resembles that of the Augsburs
ANcgemein Zeitung or the London Ga
zette. The printed matter is on coarse
paper and clear, although evidently, a
times, hurriedly put together. The tex
generally occupies from sixteen to twenty
four pages. The assumption is that each
of the confederates employed on the pa
per carries about with him aquaptity O
type that on fixed day he takes this
to the secret printing office; that there
the various articles are set up as rapidly
as can be done, put together, and made
ready for printing, so that in few hour
the whole business is over.
OFFICIALS FoREwARNED.
"Ou the day after that assination O
Mesenzeff, the Chief of the St. Peters
burg Secret Division, the SemIa Suabodt
appeared with an illustration. On the
front page of the paper appeared the
commencement of a grand proclamation
of which the substance was us fol
lows:
yesterday, in accordance with the
sentence of the National Revolutionary
Committee, there fell Gen. Mesenzef
Chief of the Sd Division of the Secret
Chancellery of His Majesty. He had
trampled right under foot; he tortured
his prisoners, persecuded the innocent
and in his official capacity murdered
partly by brutal i'll treatment by hunger,
thirst, and the rod, and partly by his
minions, the following persons Then
follows list of names with cause of their
imprisonment and the circumstances Of
their death.) The measure of Mesen'
zeff was full. We gave him warning
which he disregarded.'
"Thus the proclamation proceeds fol
some length, but it breaks of on the first
page in order to make room for the illus.
tration just mentioned, which is accom-
panied by revolutionary dirge. The
picture represents the murdered Mesen-
zefF lying on a catafalque. Around him
bright tapers are burning. The poem
tells the reasons for his death, and re.
la.es how the Car comes in to take a
last farewell of his faithful servant. The
Emperor enters, takes off his helmet, and
kneels down at the foot of the coffin
Soft church music is then heard and the
lights suddenly go out. There is sound
of thunder and of rushing wind in the
air; the music suddenly stops, and into
the chamber of death there dances 8
long line Of shades of the murdered
hollow-eyed, covered in rags, and fetters
rattling on their limbs. The ghostly
company dance the dance of death round
the Emperor and the corpse of Mesenzef
They lift their arms in menac;ng fashion
pointing to the wounds which the assas.
sinated Chief of the Police had inflicted
on them. Then suddenly ceasiag from
the dance, they join in chorus, singing
1T is not he we pity, but ourselves, who
were murdered for no crime; he only
had what he deserved Irefrain from
reproducing the whole of the dirge; il
is too frantically insane and fantastic
I only wish to give some illustration O
the length to which the audacity of the
Senald Sraboda is carried.
CATER the assassination Of Krapotkir
another announcement of the secret tri
bunal was made in the revolutionary
journal. A reward of 5000 roubles ha(
been offered for the discovery of they
murderers of Mesenzef, but nobody came
forward to earn the reward. After the at
TENT on Krapotkin the reward was dou
bled in the hope of tempting some one ir
the hostile camp to turn traitor. And thi
time man actually presented himself
before the Chief of the Gendarmerie anc
BETRAYED the whereabouts of two secre
printing Offices in st. Petersburg. Ont
of them was in the Office for shipping
dues on the Gundujevski Ostroff, thu
other in the Imperial Cartridge Factory
on tue Vassili Ostrof. In the night botl
the printing Office were visited and broker
up; but beyond couple ofthousard copie
of papers wiaSShshad been smuggled int
the country-copies of the Storm Bel
and of ForWards-and number of pla
cards, only few hundred printing
types we're found. An expert was a
once called in by the police and consul
ted as to where the type had come from
and ic was found that the letters hac
been brought together from number o
different printing Offices in the city, mos
of them being from the firm of Wolf ant
from the Imperial State Printing Office
At the cartridge factory Col. Simonet
and FIVE other officers were arrested, anc
in the Office for shipping dues the frs
assistant 10 the Director was likewis,
placed under arrest. He was maj
named Eichstedt, of German parentage
but born and brought up in Russia.
THE FATE OF 4 TRAITOR.
"These prisoners are said to have beer
found guilty of completely with the rev
olutionary movement but, after all, tn
discovery of these two printing offices ha
had no appreciable effect in checking
the action of chiefs of the party, VIII,
still remain undiscovered. The type
gave the police no clue to them, and tn
KEY 10 the secret was not found, thougl
large quantity of their papers fell int
the hand of the detectives. The seat o
the principal printing Office still contin
ues mystery. On the other han'
three days had not elapsed after tn
betrayal of the two printing office
when the betrayer was found murdered
in Mamontoff's Hotel, in Moscow. Oh
