Constitutional Goyernmet in Russia

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable
ST. PETERsBUR9, April 26-If an i'm
portant rumor now being circulated in well
Informed circles is to be credited. the out
RACES committed by the Nihilists On the
one hand, and the terrible sufferings of DO
htlcal prisoners on the other, have not
been in vain, as sacrifices in the cause of
constitutional liberty. 1t is said that the
Car, driven to desperation by the daily
discovery of new plots against his life. in
which even members of the nobility and
ofhcers OF the army and navy were impli-
Gated, and yielding to the weeping entreat-
les OF his wife and relatives, has at last de-
clded, IN order to save himself from certain
assassination, to grant reforms that will
nave the effect of changing the govern
ment In Russia from despotism to one
very nearly resent bling the milder regimes
OF the more enlightened countries of
Europe
One of the most sweeping of the new
measures will be the abolition of punish
ment OF political offenders by exiting them
TO Siberia. The Gar is now said to be en-
gagged several hours each day counselipg
with leading statesmen of the empire re-
gardlng the details. 1t is also said that the
Car Is In favor of house of commons and
an elective senate like that at Washington.
The nobility, however, are opposed to MAX
ing the senate an elective body, preferring
tnat membership should be hereditary as
IN the English house of peers. Freedom of
the press is also to be assured, subject to
liberal censorship. The Car himself has
great faith IN his new policy, although it
was forced upon him, and is reported to
have remarked to personal friend. Adj
mlral Novosselski, that he would soon come
to be regarded as the real father Of his
people. and that he would not be compelled
to travel about among his subjects armed
as II surrounded by tigers. According to
current reports, thousands of Siberian
prisoners will soon be released.

THE FIRST OF MAY.
Emperor William Takes Matters
Very COolly.
INSTRUCTIONS TO Won CAPRIyL
Troops Will be Kept In Their Barracks Com
stitutional Government in Russia May
be Established.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examfner Dispatch L
BERLIN, April 26.-TBy cable to the N.
Y. Herald. lit will interest the Heralds
readers to know that the Kaiser, while hs
disapproves of the manifestation on May
day, is inclined to take matters very coolly
and does not think it advisable to interfere
IN any way. He thinks il wise to let the
demonstration take place and let the out
come be guide to action in the future.
NO special measures viii be taken to pre-
serve order, nor will troops be confined ia
their barracks. In this city, however,
where 10000 men can be brought together
by the beat of drum at any time in an
hour extraordinary measures are scarcely
necessary.
''As far as 1 myself am concerned.n said
Count Waldersee, 81 am mere spectator.
L believe In allowing workmen their will
In the matter of demonstration on MAY
day. | am also, however, in favor Of
allowing every employer to choose his own
methods of dealing with his workmen
under the circumstances, even if he goes
to the length Of saying Take part in the
demonstration, If you please, but if you
do, you are discharged Men in active
service in the army will on no account be
allowed to take part in the demonstration
Ii scenes of violence occur the authorities
will interfere with all the force at their
disposal for the protection of peaceable
citizens"
Your correspondent called on a Socialist
editor here, who shall, for obvious reasons,
be nameless. He said that in Berlin, al
any rate, the demonstration would not take
the character of a procession, that means
OF expressing opinion being abhorent to
German, especially the Prussian mind.
What was aimed at was to show the bour-
geoisie that the Socialists were in earnest
to make demonstration in favor of eight
hours for days work so imposing as to
force the reichstag to consider an eight
hour law. 'Do not expect any conflict
with the authorities. There will be pract-
ically a two days holiday. The day of
atonement, April 30, is a legal, religious
holiday in Prussia and the night is Wal
hurgisnacht. The 1st day of May was a
great national heather holiday of the
ancient Germans, and it is &C urious coinci-
dence that now the pioneers of good and
evil are opposed to each other at this period
of real flesh and blood. Of course there is
a difference of opinion as to who are the
saints and who are the sinners"

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF SHEvlCH.

His Wife's Romantic History.

Oh the "Volks Zeitung,n Will Return to Russia
His Wife's Romantic History.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch !
NEW YORK, April 26.-Sergius Shevitch.
Socialist and editor-in chief of the New
York Volks Zeitung, who has been an exile
IN this country for the past TWENTY-FIVE
years, having been banished from Russia
owing to his political opposition to the
Gar, has been forgiven by the latter and
will return to his native land. His large
ancestral estates which were contiscated
at the time of his Punishment will be res.
tored to him and he will again assume the
social position he lost by advocating the
Socialists cause.
Mr.. Shevitch's life has been an eventful
one and that of his wife, who first married
prince, is full of romance. He was edu-
Gated at Stuttgart and Gutenberg and
after leaving college received an appoint
ment In the diplomatic service. He was
at one time attache of the Russian lega-
ton at Stuttgart and at one time his elder
orother was governor of the province of
Finland. When Shevitch embraced So
clallsm he lost his position and his brother
was deposed.
Mrs. Shevitch is daughter of Count
Dounnlges and by marriage Princess
Helene Racowitz. She is of German de-
scent and was at one time in the court OF
King William of Prussia at Berlin. She
formed an early attachment for Ferdinand
Lasalie, the great Socialist, and fed from
home to him. He refused to receive her
and made her return to her family, giving
as a reason that he could not marry her
without the consent of her parents. She
soon forgot him and afterward became en-
gagged to Prince Racowitz. This angered
Lasalle so that he spoke slightingly of the
princess and his words reached the ears of
Racowitz. A duel followed, which resulted
in the death of the famed Socialist. Racow
itz died of consumption about year after
his marriage, and in 1867 Princess Racowitz
met Mr.. Shevitch who fell desperately in
love with her. She favored his suit and
they We're married and came to this cou n
try in 1869.

A Fact Worth Knowing.

Astigmatism, which is the inability to see
lines running in different directions
equally distinct, is the principal cause of
defective sight, and by far the most annoy
ing, and is only detected and corrected by
a specialist thoroughly acquainted and
practiced in the application of the scien-
tific tests. In such cases not only must
special lenses be provided, but they must
also be mounted just the proper way, as
the same lenses fitted any other way will
be positively hurtful.
DR.. G.. w. Tibbits, the occulist and aurist
of IL East First South street, is very sue
cessful in such cases. His Office is provided
with all the scientific tests, and he Is thor
oughly competent and practiced in the usa
of these tests, for full and complete cor
rection. People whose eyes trouble them
from optical defect will secure permanent
relief by applying to him, and viii also save
money.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, April 26-Allen, of Mis-
slssippi, rising to question of personal
privilege, replied to the structures in the
press and the Pennsylvania Republican
convention on the recent speech in which
he reflected on the integrity of Senator
quay. He said 1t never had been his pur-
pose to begin an attack on Senator Ouav.
and he had done so in the heat of debate.
In reply to Conner, who arraigned the
Democratic party because it had defaulting
state treasurers, he simply said the Demo-
cratic party never elected them to the
United States Senate or made them chair
| men OF its national committee He did not
know Quay, but understood he was a man
OF some good traits. He was no party to
any conspiracy to injure or defame him

of that town were guilty of ballot box stuff

a wordy debate, which lasted some time.
Savers, of Texas, raised the point of
order against the clause providing for the
appointment by the secretary of the inter

A COMEDY OF ERRORS.
The st. Louis Republic Tells How 1t was De-
ceiyed by the SUMS Lie.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, April 26.-The Sun in iusti-
fication of its original Washington dispatch
describing with minuteness the sy stem of
ganting enormously said to be practiced by
ex-President Cleveland. quoted in support
OF its truth similar dispatch which ap-
peared in the ST. Louis Republic, journal
friendly to Mr.. Cleveland Now the Re
public appears in double-leaded leader
telling how the dispatch was used bv mis-
take and furthermore that it originated in
the New York Office of the Sun and not in
Washington. In other words, the Sun
invented the lie in New York, called it n
Washington dispatch and backed up it's
dishonesty by quoting from newspaper
upon which the lie was inadvertently
palmed off. Says the Republci: 1.-The
comedy OF errors with which this blunder
was complicated consists in the following
undeniable propositions: THAT as it
was not Washington special to the Re
public it should not have been so printed:
THAT as it was dispatch to the Sun, and
from the Sun, it should have been credited
to the Sun, and 3-That it should not have
been printed in the Republic at all. When
we add that we are informed by our Wash
1ngton correspondent that he has ascer-
tanned as a matter of fact that the dispatch
was not sent from Washington to the Sun.
but was probably made up in the Sun
office and given a Washington date. the
natural history of this peculiarly unworthy
outbreak of malice is completed and orr
explanation finished.n
