Petersburg and Moscow, and having the
students OF those two cities deposit upon
the casket WreathS which will be sent
from France.
The Figaro demands that General Saus-
Sler, as the General in command of the
garrison at Paris and at staff headquar-
ters, be sent to Russia to represent the
French army at the funeral of the Car.
At all the provincial cities of France
the scenes witnessed in Paris display the
same mourning emblems, and the same
profound manifestations of grief are
recorded. All the newspapers appear
with black borders, and all of them ex-
press grief at the death of the Russian
Emperor.
The Journal deS Debates recalls the
great qualities of the Emperor who did
not fear TO ally the Russian Empire with
the democratic republic, adding: 1.-THE
experiment was conclusive and peace
never seemed better assured than now.
We hope that nothing will be changed"
The udttn says: In the mourning IN
which French and Russian patriots are
plunged, one consolation remains. 1t is
that the work which Alexander III.
founded will be continued by the new
Gar, who furnished an example of fIial
piety.

GROVER CLEVELAND"
REIGN OF DYNAMITE ENDED,
LONDON, Nov. "A representative of
the Associated Press had an interview
to-day with Stepniak, the Russian nihil-
ist. He utterly repudiated the nihilist
manifesto recently published and cabled
exclusively to the Associated Press on
Wednesday. Speaking of the present
situation Stepniak said:
The future cannot be foretold, but
I am firmly persuaded that the new
CZ2r will follow a more liberal policy
than his father. Mind, l have no illu-
sions regarding the new Car. He may
not be superior to his father. In any case
he cannot be worse. His father's only
good point was his foreign policy, and he
has done a kind thing IN dying. SO |
won't be severe on him. His death is the
opportune moment for movement in a
liberal direction and for constitutional
changes for which the country is quite
ripe"
I'VE nihilists have declared upon an
Immediate, fresh and widespread propa-
ganda. 1t may be revolutionary, but not
IN the name of dynamite. The reign of
bombs and dynamite is ended. Although
few fools may advocate it, all thinking
and responsible nihilists oppose it. We
want powerful but legal agitation, or
an open revolution, which. in my opin-
ion, would be a more effective propa-
ganda. We intend to agitate society by
pressure of public opinion and not by
explosives"
Stepniak concluded by saying: II
wish TO say to my friends in America,
now that Russia is entering a new phase,
that Americans ought to think of the
outrage against liberty which they COM
mitted by concluding an extradition
treaty with Russia, and L trust the earnest
efforts of George Kennan and others will
lead to jts rapaal -
