THE CZAR'S SLEUTH HOUND.

A Moscow Mechanic Who Ferreted Out
Nihilist Plots.
Michael LEM was, a few years ago, one
of the most famous of the Russian political
detectives. He was a merchant in Moscow
in 1877, and was engaged as a special COM
stable when the emperor, Alexander, Wis.,
tied that city to witness the opening of the
Alexander hospital. Lenz heard. or claimed
to have heard, n conversation between two
women indicating the existence of II plot
against the czar. He hurried with the in
formation to the project of police, and the
two women were tracked and taken into
custody.
One of them proved to be II valuable pris-
oner. although there was nothing of a dan
gerous character found in their possession
when arrested. LEM was frequently called
upon for service in tracing alleged con-
spiracies, and did his work SO satisfactorily
that he was engaged rs a regular employee.
and gradually promoted to be chief Of the
detectives of the secret police.
G%runsburg, the young woman put to death
nihilist plot. He is snid to have no scruples
in his methods, and i'll one case, that of
Maria Spiranti, he courted the woman u
full year as a lover, and at length pretended
to go through the marriage ceremony in
order to win her confidence.
He got her confidence and also n batch of
nihil;st revelations that undoubtedly placed
in the hands of the Russian police the key
to the whole system of nihilism in Russia
and abroad as it existed two years ago.

best judges of pugilistic matters, who we're
disappointed at his general appearance.
They said he looked moro like a jockey than
a tighter. Since then he has gone into
training at Alameda, q noted resort near
Frisco, where many other famous gentle
men OF the arena have trained before, and
has become quite n ~favorite among the
bookmakers and is selling as the choice at
LOO to 70. In his boxing he has surprised
the San F1anciscans by his wonderful sup
pleness-the snake-like ease and the rapid
lty with which he gets around. If he has
any weakness it is his legs. In his first
fight with MCCARTHY his underpinning gave
out, and he says himself that if they could
have carried him through a couple more
rounds, he was sure that he could then have
defeated little Cal. For this reason, the
colored lad does not wear any moro cover
ing when fighting than is absolutely neces-
sary. SO in case of cramps of the legs, the
seconds between the rounds may have a
chance to rub his weak roints.
1t is expected that Dixon will be the
aggression in his combat with Willis. He
will endeavor to make it short and ve,y
rapid. He is naturally a very swift fighter
and will try to ''kill" Willis with his great
pace. There is certain to be no draw and
it won't result in a decision of mo con-
test" either, as in the Jackson Corbett bat
tie. O'Rourke, the colored featherweight's
shrewd manager, made this agreement
when arranging the match recently with
the California clubs directors. He insisted
that there should be a finish, and that the
one having the better of it in the end
whatever form that may take-should get
the decision n the purse.
The purse is $4,000. of which $3.50 goes
to the loser. 1t is the largest rize ever
offered to men in this class. The first offer
from The club was $4,000. Willis
was perfectly satisfied to do battle
for this amount, but Mr.. O'Rourke would

here to a certain extent. His great knock
out blow on the point of the jaw has done
more to revolutionize the istio art than the
work of any man who has yet made his ap-
pearance.
The Sullivan blow really belongs to the
American ring. Every man who steps in
side in contests is watching for the oppor-
tunity to lan on the vital spot with that
blow which SO suddenly AMI effectively puts
| the best of them to sleep. This might sug-
| gest n moments depression on one of the
questions now agitating all lovers of pu-
gilism.
In the case of a combat between Sullivan
and Slavin, each one representing his own
particular school, it would be interesting to
sec the outcome. Slavin on the one hand
may land his terrible smash on the big fell
lows wind and do considerable damage;
but if the champion should be able to get
in his favorite Knockout swing on the
point of the jaw the Australian will Ger
tainly have to go down and out.
At present the Australian makes almost
no %pretenae OF stopping a swing or any
other blow. He PUSHES in madly at close
quarters in order to "trip his opponent up"
in the stomach with his right hand. Sulli-
van with such a paunoh as he had when he
fought Kilrain would certainly suffer
greatly if the Australian should be able to
accomplish his object. However, if Slavin
should 20 blindly Mt JOIN l.. the chances
are that the fellow being the ~cleverer would
Wltnout douDt get III u ploW that would END
the contest.
To return to our little fellows. it is sup
posed that Willis will endeavor to punish
the colored lad chiefly in the region OF the
body, particularly in his wind. Dixon is by
far the ~cleverer of the NO. and would no
doubt protect himself in long range fight
ing, but it il a question when 1t comes to
close quarters, whether tho little Australian
won't have somewhat the advantage, as ho
is stronger and has been brought up in u
school of mitigating.
In his mill with Mccarthy. Dixon showed
far superior science Mt long range. 1t WAS
only when the Jersey lad was advised by
his second, Jack MoAuliffe, to rush in and
mix 1t up hat Cal had any advantage.
MCCARTHY. however. began these tactics too
late in the contest and was weak and some
