Moscow. The boxes would have been seized
but for the concession made by the customs

but nothing was found. Rumors that mines
were discovered on the railway and under
the route taken by the car are confirmed but

continued drift of public opinion against the
government. Mr.. Leon Is young Jew who
made a fortune In the stock market, and is
the second Gledstonian member of his race
chosen at the recent bye.electOns, the other
