The Officials Charged With the Disaster
Co His Train Released.

The Car in a ree5y;pt ordering the
Withdrawal of the proceedings for the
prosecution of the officials charged with
having been responsible for the dis
.aster to his maiesty's train at
Borki, says that the mercy God
showed to him and his family on
that occasion induces him to similarly
extend ciemency. He further says
that the bad condition of the railroad
which the inquiry into the disaster
disclosed ought to serve as warn
ing for other officials. Since the recent
plot against the cars life was dis
covered extra precautions have been
taken to guard the members OF
the imperial family. The number OF
secret police has been strengthened and
vigilance has been increased at the APP
proaches to the imperial residences.
No group of persons is allowed to col
lect in proximity to the car. The re-
view of troops which the czar has ar
ranged in honor of the shah of Persia
visit has been countermanded owing to
fear of the Nihilists.
