The Great Russian DueH.
(From the SpectatOr.)

history so exciting, so continuously
dramatic, as this duel between the
Russian Cars and the Nihilist Secret
Committee, which has now lasted three
years, and involved two generations
Of >overeigns, The struggle between
the Hohenstauffen and the Popes,
though resembling it in the apparent
inequality Of the combaiants, was an
open ore, and was waged on definite
principles, for comprehended ends.
The Popes, though welding spiritual
power, were as visible as their adver-
saries, and nearly, though not quite,
as responsible for their acts. The
Nihilist Committee is invisible, irres-
ponsible, and offers no conditions
which can be considered. 1t is like
the bad hero Of a fairy-tale, whose
strength, naturally above that Of hu-
mainly, is quadrupled by the gift
from some evil spirit Of invisibility
to be assumed at will. Though one
of the strongest and most %unscrupu-
lous Of human agencies, the Russian
Secret Police, with the resources of a
frst-class State at its disposal, has
been engaged in the search for years,
the governing power of the terrible
Secret Society has not been detected,
far less rendered powerless. Ii was
thought that it had been paralysed
by some Of Count IgnatieIF5 arrests,
and indeed the Committee seemed
for an instant to hesitate but recent
ly, within the month, it has again
burst into furious and most %menacing
activity. 1t has never it is mdar-
stood, relaxed its policy Of terrorism,
as is sufficiently proved by the pre-
cautions taken by the Gar, precau-
tons almost Of despair, and recently
it has given terrible proof that these
precautions were not unneedeQ. The
Committee habirually uses two re-
sources never before available on
such a scale, and armed with these,
sets at defiance the most elaborate
and far-reaching precautions. 1t
knows how to utilize that strange
popularity of the Russian character,
the existence in it Of the spirit of self
sacrifice ~dissociated from moral rec
titude and finds everywhere agents
who are ready to threaten, torture, OF
kill, and to involve the innocent in
the doom of the hated, yet who are
also profoundly Indifferent to their
own lives or liberties, and risk death
or lifelong Imprisonment in Siberia
with a courage which, if they were
not murderers, the world would pro-
nounce admirable. In Russia and
Russia only, assassins lave the mar
tyr spirit. They prepare for fight
because they wish to economist re-
sources but if desperate risk must be
run, it is run, as recently in Odessa,
when the ~murderers of General Strel-
nikoff, though they provided II car
riage in the distance, gave themselves
no. serious chance at all. Controlling
agents who will face death, the Com
mittee can take any life not protected
by material agencies, such as guards
and battlement~, and, by calling in
the aid of science, they make even
these seem useless. Guards are of
little value against assassins who
send presents of eggs full of dyna-

er, or seriously modified his regime.
His order is still fatal to any Russian.
His decree is still law. He still de-
cideS, in the last resort, if it shall be
peace or war. A great officer may
be struck down here or there, but the
autocracy subsists, and is still exer-
cised by its legitimate possessor.
The terrible Committee is in fact de-
feated, by a process which may con-
tinue for an indefinite length Of time.
That such a system should last for
ever is impossible, though it might,
in the case of a King who was a
cripple, endure for a lifetime, without
much notice from the world /; but it
may endure long enough, it being
quite conceivable that time is in ia
your Of the Czars. That possibility,
which has hardly been considered
abroad, depends entirely upon the
question at the root of the whole
matter, the constitution Of the Pow
er-for it is a Power, though of an
abnormal and evil kind-which is
attacking the Russian Throne, the
very fact no one can discover or ex-
plain, The Power is assumed to be
a Committee, seIf-appointed and self
recruiting but the proof that it is
one is admitted by the Russians to be
incomplete. They suppose it, and
even report, we see, that it consists
Of three persons, but they do not af-
feet to know this as Il fact past dis
pute. 1t may he an individual, and
if so, he must die, and may lose his
reason. IF it is a Committee, it is IL
able to the effects Of dissension, of
t~reachery, and of those changes of
purpose which in almost all Commit
tees follow the disappearance Of midi
viduals. Even an organisation like
monastery, or a race like the Jews,
or a sect like one Of the many secret
sectS of Russia-and all these explain
atoms have been ofered-cannot hope
to maintain secrecy for ever; and the
secret once known, the vitality of the
Society would speedily disappear.
One can hardly imagine a Society
Of the kind remaining active through
a long period, continually offending
the instructive conscience, yet never
detected, and never betrayed by itself,
under the secret promise Of pardon
with which the Russian Government

v%entiveness, the power, and the CON
scicnceleSsness Of the secret Com
mittne in their most startling forms.
Ii is affirmed that they have not only
attempted to run several mines under
the railway between St. Petersburg
and Moscow, bu5 that they have at
tempted to mine the Cathedral in
Moscow in which the coronation was
to have been performed, and SO des-
troy all the governing personages of
Russia at one stroke. Such a plot,
we know from our own English his
tory, is not beyond the limits Of evil
i%magination, and need not have
been entrusted to the large numbers
whom the fears or zeal of the Police
have induced them to arrest. 1t
must, however, have been conided
to more than the two or three Agents
whom the Committee usually an
pIoYs, and, as purposeless wicked
ness is almost uncomfortable, it must
have been designed to follow the
explosion by some sort of rising, that
is, a warning must have been given,
or have been intended to be given,
to much larger associations than the
Secret Committee itself, which has
hitherto directed its energy to ter
rorisiug persons, not to arousIng pc
pular or military movements against
the State. The Committee, it is clear,
thinks it has the means Of repeating
and succeeding in a Guy FawkeS'
Plot.
We are not sure that the recent at
temf@ do not place the attitude as
suiaed by the Car, which is re-
garded all over Europe as so strange,
in a somewhat more honourable
light. He may be wiser than some
politicians imagine. lie has been

is not accused Of ordinary cowardice,
which, indeed, is il consistent with his
whole conduct in the Turkish War,
but Of selfish weakness. 1t may,
however, be that he is following out
a weIl-considered and by no means
hopeless course Of action. Suppose,

DORSEY,S REVELATIONS.

The special kilograms to the GLOBE this
morning contain the budget which ex-Sen-
ator has launched upon the public. The
letters which he supplies show the true in
wardness of the Republican campaign in
1880, and develop the distinguished servi-
ces for which he was SO royalty banquetted
bs the Republican leaders at Delmonico's.
While the correspondence which Dorsey
had with Garfield does not relieve him
from the present charges of star route
iobbery and thievery, it certainly places
the administration, which now appears as
his prosecutor, at disadvantage. If Dor
sew was such a great and noble man in
1850. how comes it that he is now such
villain, and that his villainy &C.
Cured at the very period when he was
welcomed as the savior of the 'grand oil

interesting chapter to the political history

say that Mr.. Dorsey is in no particular
danger of occupying position "behin 1

Earthquake in New Hampshire.

CONCORD, N. H., Dec. 1s.-At 1924 this
evening one of the severest earthquake
shocks ever felt here occurred. The shock
was like heavy explosion, and shook the
buildings, from which people rushed to the
streets. In one building the conclusion
sxtinguished the gas. Inside the buildings
the shock was like that of some heavy OBJ
ject falling. seeming to be above rather
than below. 1t evidently travelled east and
west, and was felt in Pittsfield, some four
minutes later than here. It was also felt
at Great Falls and Manchester and other
places. The shock lasted about eight or
ten seconds.
DovEa, N. H.. Dec. 19.-Abou. 5:15 D. IN.
two slight but very perceptible shocks of
earthquake were felt. The disturbances
lasted ten seconds, occasioning alarm
among the people. The shocks were &C.
companied by rumbling noise, and were
felt in Rollingford. Rochester and other
towns. People rushed out Of their houses
in much bewilderment.
CoNToCooK, N. S., Dec. 19.-The heaviest
earthquake for ten years occurred at 500
p. M, and lasted several seconds.
