Wild rumors circulate among some OF
the Russian psasantry since the sssas-
sination Of Alexander II. That catas-
trophe has not altogether destroyed the
faith Of the psasantry in the old tradi-
tons OF Czarish power. but they now
believe strongly in the intention Of the
present head Of the Romanoffs to redis-
tribute all the lands among his faithful
children. In Saratsff the belief is
spread that the present Car is elected
for three years only. Among the ideas
prevailing with regard to the land are
these: That the government will buy
up all the land both Of the proprietors
and peasants. and them rslst 1t to the
peasants in lots for twenty years. during
which time NO taxes will be imposed;
tina, the Emperor will buy the land from
the large propristors and give 1t 10 the
peasants; and that tho soil will hence
forth belong solely to the ~peasantry, to
the exclusion even OF all merchants and
members Of other classes Of the popu-
lation,

one upon whom the sentence has
q dampening influence. He is quite
young and robust. and consequently
breads the fate in store for him. The
gallows, which have been constructed OF
some distance from where the prisoners
are confined. was placed today nearer,
and as the prisoners looked through the
iron bars 1t looms up before them In all
its horror. After seeing It Dandy jim
declined to partake Of any food. but
Dead Shot and Skippy made light OF II
by laughing and mimicing the manner In
which they should die by q rope. They
have NO fears OF o hereafter and say their
hands arc clean. meaning that II nothing
can be done for them in this life they
are prepared to die. Every precaution
has been taken to carefully guard them.
Two troops Of cavalry have arrived here
as IN additional force in the event OF any
disturbance. The execution will be con.
Quoted with as little demonstration as
nosaible.
