ne HnLIDAYs IN RUssIA.

Warsaw and St. Petersburg are cele-
brating their Christmas holidays in a
rather CHASTITY fashion, by an outbreak
of arrests Of suspected Nihilists.
This doesn't sound out Of the way
with regard to Russia, but what injus-
tice, cruelty and hopeless misery 1t
means is very we'll known to the whole
civilized world. 1t is the blacklist blot
on the face Of Chrl stendom.
The whole aspect Of Russian despot-
ism is hideOus and piteous.
Millions are famine stricken-the
government seryicei is so corrupt that re-
lief funds are stolen before they can
reach the Cars starving subjects. Cor
ruDtion, cruelty and injustice have so
hardened the peoples hearts that the
wel-to-do actually scott at the sufferings
of the starving peasants and on the mer-
camille exchanges they FIJI the famine
relief boxes with garbage and refuse!
America, unasked, is sending food
but no foreign charity can give more
than partial relief to country so
deeply sunk in the wretchedness born
Of despotic misrule.

The defeat Of DAvITT, Home Ruler,
by REDMOND, Parnellite, will do the
Irish cause serious injury by keeping
alive the Parnellite faction, whose only
purpose seems to be TO promote discords.
1t is the first election the Parnellites
have carried. Had they lost it they
would probably have gone TO pieces, and
the Irish people might again have been
united in support Of Home Rule. As it
is the cause has received backset.

timncy Between Them.
LONDON, Dec. 12-The fifth day Of the de
vorce suit brought by Miss Florence ST.
John, the Gaiety theater star, against her

sent. One night Mr.. Cohen was at the
house and witness heard his voice in Miss

Colonel Mcclure on mr.. Blaine.

NEW YORK, Dec 13.-Colonel A. X No
Clure, the veteran Philadelphia editor, was
in town Thursday Although the colonel
has been Identified with the Democratic
party for many years, he enjoys cloee per-
sonal relations with Mr. Blaine.
Mr. Blaine said Mr. Mcclure, "is un-
questionably the strongest man in the
party. But do not believe he will be nomi-
mated Mr. Blaine may be dreaming little
Of the presidency Of late but when the time
comes when he must face the question and
say yes OF no. l believe he VIII any no.
Ellis health is the only obstacle in his
path, bat that is much more critical than is
generally known. Knowing what / do
about his physical condition / think / am
justified in saying that the great strain Of q
canvass would kin Mr. Blaine inside Of sixty
days. To any one who knows Mr. Blaine
intimately nothing is more certain than that
he is absolutely out Of the presidential race
for physical reasons
Speaking about candidates on the Demo
cratic ticket, Colonel Mcclure said. "rhere
will be no war between the friends Of Cleve-
land and Pattison in Pennsylvania. Patti
sons friends viii probably control the Penn
sylyania delegation TO the Democratic Ma
tionM convention, but they are also Cleye

Mason NJ. de Cassagnac and NJ Baudry
d'Asson instantly jumped up and called M

A tremendous uproar ensued lasting fully

THE TORN CLOTHING IDENTIFIED.

Cutter Hlii, Of Brooks s. Co., Tailors,
and Norcross' Relatives Declare That
the Dynnmiter's Clothing Beionged to
Henry l. Norcross.
Boston, Dec. 12 There isevery reason to
Aelieve that the bomb thrower who at
tempted the life Of Russell Sage has been
Identified as Henry L. Norcross, Boston
note broker His parents have identified
rcrtain fragments, which purport 70 be rem
nants Of the murderers clothing as that
worn by their son when they last saw him
on Thursday Dec. 3, the day preceding the
tragedy They have seen, too the photo
graph Of the bomb throwers head, and they
are forced to admit that it is strangely like
that Of their missing son. The style Of hair,
the mustache, the short beard and the gem
erul contour Of the face all bear a strong re-
semblance % the face Of Henry l.. Norcross-
Identified by the Tailor.
As an additional point ia the identiiica~
tion the buttons and shreds OF cloth are the
saIne as were manufactured for Mr.. Nor
cross by Walter O. Brooks, the tailor whose
name was stamped on the buttons. Charles
G. Hill, the cutter in the establishment,
stated positively that not only was the
sample Of cloth shown him 10y the detective
the same as that last purchased by Nor
cross, but that the number on the fragment
correspOnded exactly with the number OPP
posite Norcross' maine on the books of the
firm This important evidence apparently
elinches the proof that this young Bostonian
and the bomb thrower We're one and tho
same.

and her husband acted as though stunned
\ by the blow After he had admitted the
strong resemblance which the fragments
bore to his sons clothing, and when he had

photograph Of the dead mans head there
seemed no further room for doubt. He said
that his son had had no sickness, nor had
