ty had done more to allay sectional differences
than the effort Of any other man in the country.
BY the arrival at San Francisco of the
Occunic. from 70 kohama. we have full parti-
culms regarding the attack upon the Russian
Prince Imperial at Otsu. The Prince and his
party were on their way 10 Lake Biwa in a
iinIiksha open carriage l.. He was with Prince
George Of Greece, and behind them were arm
ed guards on horseback. while Tolicc were plac-
ed al intervals alongthe road forming a line
on either side. Among the policemen was one
Tuda Sance, who, it is now learned. had lost
his reason. AS the party approached, Tuda Sance
suddenly drew his sword, and stepping up to
the Prince struck him with the weapon. The
sword fortunately encountered the Princes
hat. The hat was cut through; but the resis-
tance deadened the blow, 50 the weapon only
cut the flesh and did not reach the bone.
Prince George saw the blow struck, hut not
in sufficient time to prevent it from taking
effect. He quickly raised his stick and
brought it down upon the wQuld-be a~ssassin's
head; while at the same moment a gendarme
sprang upon the %lunatic, and gave him two
sword cuts, disabling him, and bringing the
incident to an end. Tuda Sance was imme-

the Prince was Bins, in length; but as already
stated not very deep. His head was handaged
and the party returned to,the Governors house,
where the wound was properly dressed.
The Gar has paid his promised visit to
Moscow, and is now back in st. Petersburg.
The continued postponement of the visit was
explained in official circles by a slight indis-

of a far more alarming nature ascribe the delay
to the activity Of the Nihilists, and it is stated
that only three days before the date on which
the Gar was to make his visit to the FRENCH
Exhibition in Moscow four large boxes OF
dynamite were discovered in the Customs
Department. 1t may be mentioned that a con-
cession was granted - the Exhibition authoIi-
ties, by which all goods intended for cXhibi-
ton We're permitted to pass the Russian from
tier unopened, being examined by Russian and
French Customs officials III concert in a build
ing specially set apart as u doHoae within the
Exhibition itself. These four boxes would in
the ordinary course have been stopped at the
frontier; but by virtue Of the concession they
were actually brought under the Exhibition
roof as machinery. There can be no doubt
whatever that an attempt was in progress to
assassinate the Gar on his visit to the EXhibi-
ton. Immediately after this discovery was
made the ground in the neighbourhood of the
daIs erected for His Imperial Majesty was
carefully excavated, with a view to discovering
if any attempts had been made to undermine it.
A theory of a wholly incredible nature, to
the effect that these boxes must have somehow
lain where they were found since the Exhibi-
ton of 1882, has been started, in order to avoid
wounding the susceptibilities Of the French,
whose acceptance of the Customs concession
makes such a discovery as this highly embar-
RAISING.
