The Cars Interview With a Nihilist

Stcpniak, the famous Russian Nihilist
and novelist, now in the United Stntes
IS one of the most interesting personal.
tiles in London, where he resides, and
has done much by his writings to show
US the seamy side of life in Russia. In
his career as Nihilist he has had many
hair-brcadth escapes, and when YOU
look at his pale, impassivc, Slavonic
face, you can see that the risk of death
has had no tcrrors for him. Ona recent
occasion he was asked his opinion of the
present Car, and replied: "I believe
Alexander III. to be an honest and good
man, but" and he paused signifl-
cantly. A few years ago, az many will
remember, the banquet hall of one of the
Imperial palaces was blown up by dyna-
mite. The ornamental work in the cell.
ing required some slight repairs. The
workman who came to do these brought
with him small internal machine which
was timed to explode shortly after tho
commencement of q large family dinner
party to be held there that evening.
This he intended to place in small
niche which he made for the purpose in
the ceiling. He was standing upon the
ladder with the bomb in his hand, when
in walked the Car himself. He began
to talk, and asked the mechanic about
his life, whether he was married, if he
had children, and converscd with him
kindly for some time. 1t was a terrible
situation for the Nihilist, who was quite
charmed by the manner of the terrible
White Car, whom he had come to as
sassinate. His impulse was to confess
all, but his oath of allegiance to his cause
deferred him, and when the Car de-
parted, having given him some money,
he adjusted the bomb and left the pnlace.
That night was one of great anxiety to
all che Nihilists in the plot, and when
the explosion was heard at the right
time it was thought that all the guests
had persisted. But it happened that the
Duke of Edinburgh arrived at the palace
half an hour late for dinner, and the
bomb exploding before dinner had COM
