REPROvING THE CZAR.
Madam Tsebril1ova's Letter Was No
Threatening.

Threatening.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, March 26.-,An As
sociated Press dispatch from st. Peters
burg, this month, stated that Madam
Mary Tsebrikova had been arrested for
sending personal letter to the Gar and
would probably be exiled to Siberia. 1t
was said the Russian authorities init
mated that this letter threatened the
Gar with the fate of his father, unless
he modified his reactionary policy. Mr..
George Kennan was seen by an Associ-
ated Press reporter regarding the
matter, and told an interesting
story. He stated that Madam Tsebri-
kova was cultured Russian lady, who
has long been known in her own coun-
try as talented writer. She resided in
Paris for a time up to this year. Ken
nan had letter from her under date of
January 10th in which she said she was
about to send memorial to the Czar,
which probably led to her arrest and ex
lie. AS soon as she returned to her ma
tive country she enclosed copy OF this
memorial to Kennan, from which he
makes extracts. 1t does not menace"
the Gar, but seems to be calm,
reasonable review of the existing state
of things in Russia, coupled with
an earnest appeal for more liberal pol
icy. In her letter to Kennan she says
her friends tell her she is foolhardy,
but she cares not. She does not think
favorably of revolution OF bloodshed,
although she doubts not that it will
some day come unless there is change,
however far distant. The letter and
memorial throughout are OF high tone,
and Kennan says he desires to place
them before the public as refutation of
the charge of the Russian officials that
"Western writers have idealized Mill
lists beyond all semblance to reality.'

LOW PRICES.

The Railroads Not Responsible for the
Stagnation in Food Products.
BALTIMORE, March 26. = Interstate
Commerce Commissioners Bragg and
Schoonmaker took the testimony of a
number of members of the Corn Ex-
change today relative to the cause OF the
low prices OF the food products of the
West. Ex-President Mulock said freight
rates had nothing to do with the low
prices. The corn crop last year was un-
usually large, and there had been an ad-
vance OF ocean rates on account of the
scarcity OF tonnage. A number OF others
said the depression was due to large
crops, and that freight rates were as low
as could be maintained by the railroads
