KANSAS CITY, March 28,-Mr. George
Kennan has received from Paris letter
written by Miss Mary Tsebrikova, the
lady who has just been exiled to Siberia
for having written letter which was
mysteriously smuggled into the czar's
private apartments, and which was said
by the Russian police to contain threats
against the czar's life.
Nine Tsebrikova wrote Mr.. Kennan
that she intended to petition the ozar,
and expected to suffer severely for the
act. She enclosed a copy of the petit
ton. 1t is simply vivid description of
the condition of the Russian people, and
an appeal for reforms. 1t contains no
threats against the czar, but warns him
that the state of things which exists in
Russia is sure to produce dangerous dis
orders.
Mr.. Kennan supposes that Nine. Tse-
brikova went to st. Petersburg soon
after writing him. He describes her as
a talented writer and frequent contrib
utor to Russian magazines. She has
been known as Liberal, but not rev.
olutionist. She is about 40 years old,
and woman of great force Of char,

large and strong looking woman, and
the other was of medium height Hav-

pockets securing 50 or 81 and some

git out" He accordingly got with an
energy that was largely the result of the
knowledge that the women pointed re-
volvers toward him as he retreated.

Disturbances ON shipboard.
The Singapore Free Presse of Jan. 80
contains an account of the disturbance
on board the ship, by the coolies bound
for Dell. The vessel was the Chow Chow
Foo German steamer which left
Annoy and Levatow with about $50
coolies on board. Four days off Singa-
pore trouble arose among the crew, and
they demanded to be brought into Sing
apore. The coolies strewed kerosene on
the deck, and attempted to set fire TO the
ship. The captain, officers and others
of the crew were driven on the bridge
1t was feared the coolies would murder
every European, set fire to- the ship,
take to the boats and escape.
Accounts differ as to how the diff
culties were met. One says thirty men
were stationed on deck and number Of
others manacled Another account says
the captain agreed to the coolies request
TO make for Liverpool, but instead of
doing so ran into RioN, and sought pro-
lection of the Dutch man-of-war Prinz
Hendrix. Twenty soldiers were put on
board the Chow Chow Foo, and twenty
seven of the ringleaders were secured
and put in the war chip.

The tariff bill was reported to the
House Wednesday afternoon of last
week. At the last minute hides were
put upon the free list. Sugar is also
put upon the free list, and bounty of
two cents per pound provided for the
next fifteen years for the producers of
sugar in this country. 1t is estimated
that the bill will make a reduction Of
about S70,000,000 per annum in the
receipts of the Government. The re-
port of the majority of the Ways and
Means committee which accompanied
the bill says: at was the aim Of the
committee to fix the duties upon that
class of manufactured goods and farm
products which can be supplied at
home so as to discourage the use Of
like foreign goods and products, and
secure to our own people and our own
producers the home market, believing
that competition among ourselves will
secure reasonable prices to consumer:
in the future, as it has invariably done
in the past. The bill is framed in the
interest of the people of the United
States. 1t is for the better defense o
American homes and American indus
tries" There were two minority re
ports, one by Mr.. McKenna agains
the sugar clause, aud one by Mr.. Car
Isle representing the democrats agains
the whole bill.
