RUSSIAN SIGNs.-The revolutionary
party of Russia, though secret, is by no
means private. and it has promptly follow
ed the close of the coronation festivities
and the return of the car to St. Peters,
burg by declaration of its pre-resolved
forbeArance during that period and of its
have published in St. Petersburg PAM
phlet embodying their program OF popular
government, whose main points have been
already often recounted. They also now
publish TO the world the assurance that
they took advantage of the concentration
of the army and police at Moscow to
enlarge their propaganda in st. Peters
burg and other principal places, and that
during the coronation ceremony, there
were those under their control-3mong
them otlicials-near enough to the car TO
have struck him dead had the word been
given. But as we said beforehand, the
revolutionists were then chiefly engaged
in protecting the car. We receive by
private hand the following extraordinary
statement
When the czar entered the first evening
into mis- chamber in Moscow before the
coronation, be congru tulated himself upon
his escape from all danger. Just then mis-
eyes fell upon large sheet Of paper npon
which he found the following lines:
Think not, son of your father, that you
are out of reach Of all harm, or that the
power Of the revolutionists is broken. We
promise you that nothing will befall you
during the festivals in Moscow but in our
power you are fully as now as formerly.
Should you doubt our words of warning,
then send your police to 81 and 81 Twer-
skala street, and let them report what
they shall find" This was done, and the
report was that the two houses were
undermined in the rear and charged with
dynamite, but no fuse was laid. Had an
explosion taken place at the right moment,
the houses would have fallen upon the
car and all the grand dukes and visitors;
not one could have escaped, as the line OF
march was in front of the house. But
Alexander III has, like Pharaoh of old.
hardened his heart" that he will not let
his people go. He announced his deter
mination without chance of misunder-
standing,-there is to be no change. The
old program is in force; and the treatment
Of the press affords its plainest indications.
The H0ScoO Telegraph has been suppressed
because it commented as the occurrence
deserved on the Punishment of the mayor
of Moscow; and M. Aksakof, well
known counselor and philosophical writer,
has been banished for publishing an article
asking the car to grant liberal reforms
Republicans.
