THE NIHILISTS AGAIN,
mother Attempt on the Life of the Car.

VIENNA, Jan 4.-The latest version of the
recent accident to the Gar is as follows
The Gear was returning on the afternoon Of
Dec. 18th to Gatschina palace from shoot
ing excursion, accompanied by his suite, In
eight sledges, with number of servants.
Although darkness was coming on, the party
noticed ahead six men, apparently peasants.
The Cars aides drove forward aud ordered
the men to clear the way. The men saluted
the officers, and appeared to obey the order;
but when the Cars sledges came on level
with them, they suddenly wheeled around
and fired at the Gar thrice, and two of them
ran toward him. The horses drawing the
imperial sledge became frightened and gal.
loped some hundred PAGES, when the Gear
was thrown out Of the sledge. A bullet
lodged In the Cars shoulder. The Cars
followers Immediately mounted the sledge
horses and followed the assassins, who es.
capped to neighboring wood. Owing to the
depth Of snow, the pursuit was fruitless
one. The pursuing officers ventured too far
and have not returned.
The Telegraph, referring to the foregoing,
says whether the story Is true or untrue, It
marks the revival of Nihilism undoubtedly.
The Mihilistic ey scutive committee promised
70 give the present Gar fair trial. No
constitution and no reform have been grant.
ed, although all we're promised. The trial,
therefore, Is ended.

The Railroad Fare Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Sumner's new bill
to regulate charges on the Union and Cen.
trail Pacific railroads Is before the House.
His former bill reduced passenger fares to
three cents mile; the present has pream-
BILE reciting that the original charter OF these
roads empowered Congress TO regulate the
charges when the net earnings exceeded ten
per cent. of the actual cost of construction
of the road, and as that is now the case, the
bill enacts that sixty days after passage the
freight charges Of the two roads shall not be
greater than seventy per cent. of the rates
charged for carrying freight set down in the
companies schedules Dec. 3, 1888. This
has the effect Of reducing freight rates on the
two roads thirty per cent. The bill gives
the companies thirty days in which to en-
force the new rates, and provides a penalty
Of 81, 900 per day for every days delay there
after, half to 20 the complaing shipper and
informer. All district attorneys are made
prosecutors, and actions may be brought In
the United States or State courts. 1t Is ex-
pressly provided that nothing In the bill
shall prevent courts awarding exemplary
damages to complaining shippers, and no
such awards shall be less than one thousand
dollars. Heavy fines are provided to be
inflicted on railroad officials who refused to
testify in such cases, or who refuse to pro-
duce their books to show what the charges
were December 8, 1888, or who refuse to tell
where the books are, in case they have been
removed beyond the Jurisdiction of the court.
The bill was referred to the committee on
Pacific railroads. The other bill of Sumner
referring to passenger charges was referred

CONCERNING LoTTERII ,

Although the Lotteries so far appear TO
have the best of Postmaster General G reshatn
we have some confidence and great deal If
desire that he will break them up. When
not thorough swindles they are almost uni
versally frauds TO greater or less extent.
Buta very small percentage Of the money
received for tickets is discussed to ticket
purchasers even In the best Of them, the res
idue being absorbed by the promoters. 1t Is
the exceptional company that ever pays any
thing. At stthey encourage gambling
and illegltimate speculation among people
the least able TO spare the money for folly.
The Congress Of the United States as early
as 1872 enacted a law which has been in.
cluded In the Revised Statutes placing letters
and circulars relative to these enterprises on
the same basis as obscene publications and
prohibiting their transmission by mail. The
sections in relation thereto are as follows,
and although the Louisiana Lottery has, by
transferring its mails to the New Orleans
National Bank ,evaded the effect Of Gresham's
order, we believe Congress will so amend
them as TO render bis order effective:
SECTION 1894. No letter or circular con-
corning Qllegal) lotteries, so called gift con-
certs, or other similar enterprises, offering
prizes, or concerning schemes devised and
intended TO deceive and defraud the public
for the purpose Of obtaining money under
false preteDses, shall be carried In the mails.
Any person who shall knowingly deposit or
send anything TO be conveyed by mail In vi
olation of this section shall be punishable by
fine of not more than $500 nor less than
Slo0, with cost of prosecution.
SEC. 1896. All letters, packets, or other
matter which may be seized or detained for
violation Of law shall be returned to the
owner or sender of the same, or otherwise
disposed Of as the Postmaster General may
direct.
The law is indefinite and especially weak
in the interpolation "QllegaD". If the pur-
pose was to legislate against all lotteries, the
word should certainly be stricken out; and
If intended TO be effective IL will be necessa.
ry to include newspaper publications in the
prohibition. Lotteries are among the most
liberal advertisers, but that is no evidence
In their favor, their dupes having to put up
the paw for IL.

in letter dated Dec. 2lst says, The Ma.

opened In the Cathedral at Baltimore, Nov.
0, 1884. He will preside as Apostolic prelate.
The purpose was at first entertained Of ap.
pointing Archbishop Sepiecci, but was yield

and no remonstranc0 will be sent 70 this

WAY DOWN IN EGYPT.
Plenty Of Trouble in the Land of Pyramids.


CAIRO, Jan. 4.--The relations OF England
and Egypt are strained. Egypt sent note
to Great Britain pointing ont that the pres,
ent state of things in Egypt cannot continue,
and asking final decision upon the Soudan
question. If England refuses 10 render the
assistance asked for, The Khedive and Min.
istry have determined To abandon to Turkey
Eastern Soudan, and reduce the Egyptian
tribute to the Porte. Egyptian troops will
then be concentrated in Egypt proper, thus
giving force of 5000 men to protect the
frontier, without the aid of the English
army. Evelyn Barring thinks $1,000 men in.
sufficient for that service.
