that historic and holy town" of old Rus

mandates which are to affect the living
and the dying of 100000 of human be-
lngs.
This decision has been reached by the
car after long and careful deliberation.
St. Petersburg is 20 him the most hateful
spot on earth. Within its limits thou
sand plots have been Matched against the
existing order of things, and on one Of its
principal streets his father, the liberator OF
the serfs, met horrible death at the hands
of the nihilists. He is practically prison
er in his urban and suburban palaces.
Time and again poison, violence and threat
ening missives have confronted him in his
private apartments, and altogether too
often for comfort attempts have been made
to blow the royal family sky high with
dynamite and giant powder. So the car

Of his realm, a city that has remained faith

Such was the record made by the Chinese

and the English papers treat Us TO very
circumstantial account of it, with engray-
ings from instantaneous photographs, be-
cause six of the decapitated were part OF
the pirate gang who looted the steamer
Namoa last December. 1t will be renem-
bered that the band of sixty Chinese pirates
took passage on the steamer, rose at a sig

Chinese passengers chiefly returned Cali

junks to the land.
Well, the Chinese authorities captured
and killed most of them, and these six
were brought to the old execution ground
and there beheaded with nine other Grim
inals, in view OF many English officers and
other occidentals. The condemned were
led out and made TO kneel on the sand,
with hands tied behind their backs, and
so stupidity Indifferent did they seem that
the English spectators thought they had
been drugged. In fact, one had TO be car
ried TO the place, and when placed on his
knees fell forward on the sand.
The executiouer and his attendant began
on the right. the drums and trumpeJs
sounded loudly, the attendant pushed the
condemned forward till his neck was we'll
stretched out, then swinging the big sword
with both hands the executioner brought
il down with tremendous force on the back
of the neck There was a muffled crash-a
sort OF sickening qu-e-e-sh-the blood
spurted in big red jet and the head rolled
on the sand. The decapitated trunk quivers
a few seconds and all is over. The process
is repeated with the next and the next. II
any one does not project his head SO as 20

steps in front OF him and pulls il forward
by the cue. Each condemned has feather
on his head marked with his name and
