Always Expecting an Attack.

In connection with the report of the attempt madeon the life of the Czare- witch, it is remembered that ever since he started on his journey around the world his official suite has been in a con- stant state of anxiety lest just such an at tempt should be made.
 It has been reported that perfectly innocent man was cut down by the swords of the officers of Russian man of-war, because, in the discharge of his duty, he approached the Czarewitch with what appeared to them threatening haste. On another occasion, it is said, the entire Russian party was thrown into a panic by the explosion of a sodawater bottle.
 In China, by reason of the strained re- lations which exist between that country and Russia, it was feared that there always existed the chance of some unfor- tunate occurrence which would mar the pleasures of the imperial Russian visit, but that a Japanese should attempt the life of the Czarewith was a thing not con- templated.
