seemed to know anything about him. His nationality was indefinite, al- though he helped along speculation concerning it by declaring that he had visited every country in Europe except Russia, and could speak every language of Europe except Russian. He was heard to remark in the cardroom that he could appreciate the high breeding and education of the Russian nobility, that he had great respect for the mag nificent natural resources of that great country, that he admired her army and regarded her navy with wonder; but that he could neither sympathize with nor admire the Russian political plan or police system. The friendship be- tween the two men ripened rapidly even for a shipboard affair. By the time the voyage had approached within one day of its end they were continually in each others com pany in the cardroom, and the prince drank heavily.
 When the passengers landed several remarked the absence from the deck of the Russian prince and his friend. There was nothing especially notable in the fact that he was not to be seen, however, and no search was made for him.
 Four or five weeks later, the cable brought news from St. Petersburg of the life sentence to Siberia of this same prince. Then it was that story gained circulation in the office of the steamship company that the Russian prince had never landed; that his ship board friend was a member of the secret political police; that one glass of that last days wine had been drugged and that the unconscious nobleman had been locked in his cabin from the time the steamer landed until she sailed away again. Color was given to this suppo- sition by the fact that the captain of the ship, known to be poor man, had resigned and retired, soon after this voyage, in comfortable circumstances.
 But the Russian detective does not always deal with princes. Sometimes he travels in the steerage to watch mere peasants and moujiks. No game is too small for the czar to shoot at. Cases are described in the big colony of exiled Russians in New York where a man or woman coming to this country from Russia has been shadowed and watched for weeks after landing. One of these resulted unhappily for the Rus sian policeman in Buffalo. He had consistently pursued poor Polish Jew, who to this day swears that he had never done anything to offend the Rus sian government, until the suspect moved from New. York to Buffalo in

with the political disturbances of that extraordinary country. After every up heaval there has been an influx of i'm migrants who are not wanted in Russia to America, and with this flood of sus- poets has come invariably a squad of secret police. The Russian detective has come to America in all kinds of ways Sometimes, when some noble has been mixed up with plots against the czar, he has travelled like prince in the first cabin of the best steamer. In this connection story has been told for several years about the offices of one of the great steamship companies. This may be a mere tradition or it may be true. It is good story anyway.
 One day, when the big steamer sailed from Liverpool, she had on board

order to be rid of him.
 But even that did not shake him off. In fact it was in Buffalo that he took his most active step One day, while the Suspect" was walking quietly him and, whipping out a great parlia- ment document with Q big red seal danglingfrom it by string, informed the frightened Jew that he would have to go back to Russia to stand trial for ''conspiring against the czar." Such is the terror and submissiveness inspired in the breasts of these poor people by the police that the man would probably have yielded up his liberty quietly had not an American police officer, who witnessed the affair, interposed in his behalf. The Buffalo newspapers had 8 good deal to say about the matter at the time, and I believe that the police officer was forced to leave Buffalo.
 But more romantic stories than these are told of the Russian secret police here. Their object is less likely to be the'apprehension of people who have escaped to America-the czar is gen. erally glad to cry "good riddance"- than the discovery of plots laid here to be executed in Russia. The St. Pe- tersburg police have very exact knowl- edge of the number and dispositions of the nihilists now in America, and it is their belief tha they devote good part of their time to developing murderous plans against the czar. It is also be- lieved that high explosives are manu- , factured here, to be later smuggled into Russia, and that, altogether, the American .nihilists are serious men ace to the safety of the czar. For that reason not only are detectives sent here, but big sums are said to have been paid to actual nihilists as bribes to betray their friends. No instance is recorded, however, where these bribes have been effective.
 Sometimes the detective is pretty woman who receives the suspected ex- iles at her house, and tries, by playing sweet with the women and fascinating the men, to gain their confidence and induce them to lay bare tLeir plans.
 A woman of this sort lived in New York less than two years ago. She was very beautiful creature and posed as French woman. Poetic justice was meted out to her when she fell in love with and married one of the very men she had been endeavoring to ensnare.
 There are in America at least five hundyed men and women who are in the pay of the czar as spies. If Nich- olaA withdraws them as part of his al bid for public favor. he will

 Russia's secret police have been al- most all recalled from America. There are two reasons for this-one the fact that America has little use for them, the other that the new czar has made up his mind to follow the example set in New York by Goff-to relieve the people to some extent of police opprcs- sion. The czar's job was even bigger than Goff's. His predecessors have built up body more brutal, more cor rupt, more detestable in every way, than Tammany could ever create. What they amount to in Russia will be told further on. What they amount to in America is every whit as interesting.
 It is somewhat absurd that they should amount to anything in America.

The idea that the Russian autocrat should be able to extend his autocracy in ever so small measure into Uncle Sams free domain is unpleasant. But that at least one branch of the Russian police system-the political-has been represented here with a good deal of strength has not been denied by any one who knows. Curiously enough 1t is one of the things about which Superin- tendent Byrnes will say absolutely nothing. That of itself is significant. The superintendent has way of talk ing freely about things which are not important.
 The strength of the Russian secret police in America has ebbed and flowed

none other than prince of the bluest Russian blood. He travelled alone with a valet, but he travelled magnifcently. So far as anyone knew he was in the very highest standing in St. Petersburg, and it was even whispered among the passengers that his object in visiting America was to, by means of fine false promises and other palavering, induce certain of the Russian nobility then so- journing in the United States to return to the land of the white bear, there to meet such fates as the czar might have planned for them.

In Russia itself the general police are simply unbearable.
 The salaries they receive are simply miserable-from fifty to hundred dol lars year for private, and from two to three hundred dollars a year for chief of district.

ONE OF THE CELLS OF THE ST. PETERS

And although many of these stories have certain inherent resemblance, and look as if the same dramatic persons were constantly reappearing on the stage in different clothes, one or two of them may be quoted with considerable ap- propriateness.
 One American traveller, who got into a canoe and paddled all the way down a Russian river to the sea, reports an instance when he was stopping at some village or other on the banks of the stream and was sitting, perhaps, on bench in front of the village tavern. A sleigh was driven up with a police officer in the box seat, which contained as its only other occupant what looked very much like a recumbent human figure, covered with tarpaulin or sheet. The officer alighted from his perch and demanded the immediate presence of the village elder. In the meantime a curious crowd of trem- bling moujiks had gathered around the sleigh with its mysterious burden. The elder was pushed to the front through the throng.
 The officer gave him to understand that the mutilated body, which he ex- posed by pulling off the covering, had baar fouDd {r, tho ;p,u,ad;ota poirbbor. hood of the village, and indicated that an inspector must be called and an n quest held immediately. To the elder himself it was only too apparent what the meaning of all this was. All pres

Hard Fight for Life of n Fishing
Schooner's Crew.
NEW YORK, February s.-The fishing
schooner Emma, while trying to make a
harbor in Gravesend hay last evening. be-
came jammed In a heavy ice foe which
drifted out Of the narrows with the ebb
tide. The ice forced the little craft over to
the west bank between Hoffman and Swim
burne islands, where she heeled over and
commenced to fill. The heavy ice driving
against her sides sprung her decks and
seams.
A heavy snowstorm was raging at the
time she struck. making the weather so
thick that the captain was unable to locate
the land. The crew lashed themselves to
the rigging and waited for help. The wind
blew with terrific fury, and in desperation
at midnight four of the crew launched q
dory in the hopes of reaching shore.
The wind now changed to the westward
and the dory was lost to sight IN Few
minutes and has not been heard from up
to 10 o'clock this morning. Capt. Hanson
and the remaining four sailors, fearing TO
stand by the wreck any longer. decided at
am. to launch another dory and attempt
to reach the shore.
After a desperate struggle with the
heavy ice and intense cold and binding
spray the well-nigh exhausted fishermen
sighted the light on Fort Tompkins, and
shortly after am. they managed to reach
the shore and walk to the residence Of
Keeper Davey of the light house, who did
all in his power for the sufferers.
The Emma hailed from New London
where she was built in 1S;,2. She was for-
ty-three feet long and registered tr!he
over lis tons.

other matter.

ngly.
Senator Dubois Crepublican) of Idaho-It
is what we all expected, and there was no
necessity of sending message to Congress
on the subject. He talks Of maintaining
the parity; why, he will send gold to a
premium if he keeps on.
A little surprise was expressed by MEM
bers at Speaker Crisp's prompt reference
Of the Presidents message to the commit
tee on ways and means instead of the
banking anj currency committee. This
was clearly explained, however, on the
ground that the bond issue was a step
taken in regard to the revenues Of the
government and the bonded debt.
Mr.. Reed of Maine walked over to the
democratic side and made some sarcastic
remarks when the message was read.
Il am surprised he said to Gen. Tracey,
that you and Strauss and Everett ap-
plauded that message, and l noticed that
you were alone in your applause"
why did not you applaud?" en.Tracey
asked
Because am with the great majority"
was the reply.
The action of Speaker Crisp is taken by
members of the House a practical transfer
of the financial leadership in the body for
the remainder of the term of Mr.. Springer
to Mr.. Wilson, the chairman of the ways
and means committee.
What MIR. Wilson Says.
Mr.. Wilson had not read the message
when seen, and had just learned Of its ref
erence to his committee, having arrived a
little late. Consequently he was not able
to comment upon it.
THE committee will consider the mes
sage at once" he said. "a special meeting
will be called, or possibly it will be taken
tom % a
for another purpose"
Mr.. Springer said: Gas tbs relates solely
to the bonded debt, it goes properly to the
committee on ways and means, which has
exclusive jurisdiction over those matters
"It pertains in no way TO currency ques-
tions. The message still presents the
question of gold bonds. If l was charged
with the subject I would report bill OF
one section providing that whatever bonds
were issued in the future should be pay
able in gold at 3 per cent
Representative Tracey On. " said: "The
message shows the absurdity OF refusing
to pass legislation authorizing gold bonds"

ices at Franklin, Tenn. He was present
when Gen. Jos. E. Johnston surrendered,
and from 1865 to 1866 was in command of
the department of North Carolina. Sep
tember 1, 1866, he was mustered out of the
volunteers and was appointed in the regu-
lar army as colonel of the thirty-thrd in
fartry. He was brevetted brigadier gen.
eral of the United States army in 1867 for
gallant service at Gettysburg transferred
to the eighteenth infantry in 1862 and was,
superintendent of the Military Academy
from 1871 to 1876. After the war he saw
much hard service in Indian troubles and
became a brigadier general, his present
rank, in 1856. AS such he was in command
of the department of California until last
November when he succeeded Gen. Miles
in command of the department of the Mis-
souri,, which command he will retain as
major general. The vacancy in the briga-
dier generalship caused by his promotion
will not be filled until his nomination has
been confirmed.

MANY STEAMERS OVERDUE.
No Sign Given of In GnscOEne's
Whereu bouts.


Whereabouts.
NEW YORK, February S.-Not a vessel
had arrived at, this port up to noon today.
AT Sandy Hook it is very thick. The wind
has increased in force, and at noon was
blowing at the rate of seventy miles an
hour. The steamer La Gascogne had not
been sighted. The fierce gale which set In
yesterday afternoon continues. and at
Sandy Hook the wind is blowing at the
rate of nearly sixty miles an hour. and
nothing can be distinguished at any great
distance from the shore. Direct telegraph
ic communication with Fire Island is stop
ped, the cable connection with the main
land having been broken by the vast guam
tity of ice in the great South bay.
Should La Gascogne, now five days over
due, be anywhere near the coast she could
not be seen until she was close to Sandy
Hook
The White Star steamer Teutonic is now
time, and the belief grows that she may
be assisting the Gascogne. The Red Star
steamer Rhynland, now thirteen days out
from Antwerp, has not yet been reported.
Other steamers due are the Bolivia, from
Mediterranean ports, fifteen days out from
Gibraltar; the Lelandaff City, seventeen
days out, from Swansea; the Manitoba,
fourteen days out, from London; the Wit
tekind, twelve days out, from Bremen, and
burg.
The probabili are that when the
weather clears all these latter steamers
will be sighted Off Sandy Hook, and it is
hoped that La GaScogne and Teutonic will
be among them.

Monthly Import and Expert Statement

Acting Secretary Hamlin has, in letter
to the House of Representatives., recon-
mended legislation providing for the print
ing of 1,5OO copies for congressional Use of
the monthly summary statement of i'm
ports and exports prepared by the chief Of
the bureau of statistics, and giving the
treasury authority to order not exceeding
4.o00 additional copies of each issue. He says
the necessity for the legislation arises
from the fact that the new printing law
limits the edition. Of the statement to 1000
copies 1t is the only public record made
of imports and exports, he says, and gives
in addition a great variety of information
cn the commerce and finance Of the United
States and foreign countries.
