New York Herald
There are probably very few. ii any,
living in this country who are more
familiar with the deep laid schemes Of the
Nihilists to overthrow the government OF
Russia and the preliminary plottings for
tbe accomplishment of this end against
the life of the late Car than "W.
ky" the Nihilist correspondent of
th, springfield hepaLiicon, otherwise
known as John Baker. A reporter of the
Jier,iM had an interview with him yestcr-
lay. He said in reply to Il question {:
"There are two factions in Russia seeking
II change in the government-thc
extreme Radicals, who are justly termed
Nihilists. and the others, who suller the
odium of the name, but who are simply
reyolutionists. Personally | object to
being called Nihilist, but there seems
Ia b. no escape from the name. About
three weeks ago three agents OF the
Supreme Secret Revolutionary Govern
ment, the chiefs of which, mean the
evolutionary gUyernmrnt--hul doctrines
entirely different from the extreme Radi-
Gals. sent by the underground railway,
which is peculiar to Russia at the present
time, request for an audience with the
Car promising his personal safety, and
asking in return their own safety. The
object of the proposed interview was tu
Iay before the C2ar the true condition ui
the country ,aud request him TO come and
mix for few hours inuugnito with the
people and see for himself. The Car,
who was really good at heart, although
weak in mind, granted, strange as it may
seem, the interview
Did he grant the request and 20 with
them Oh the tour of inspection as
suggested
'lle did so promptly.
Did he require any other than rrrbn
vouchers for his safety ,'
"None he took their word they rN

which, however, he did not ask. SHOULD
state that these agents Were representa-
lives OF the highest families in tn,
empire.
"What was the extent OF the Joint tou

They went for instance, to police
man and told him that in Il house whicl
was designated at random lived 4 promi

once made its appearance upon tie sigma
Of the policeman, and the master of tn
house was arrested without warrant, h
only being told that he was wanted
Afterwards one OF the agents in anothe
street accused one Of his companions o
having robbed him. The money an,

After the parties had returned to th

answer was simply, Give to the Pole
