VIII General Tcherevin's Death End One
Phase of Russian Despotism?

The death of General Tchercvin is an
event of some Importance, inasmuch as
it is expected to lead to the discontinue
ance of the special institution which
the late general represented, aud which,
in fact, he may be said to have created
the special guard, composed OF varl-
ety of persons known and unknown, in
Guiding the police Of the imperial resi-
dence, for the protection of the person OF
the czar. At least it is rumored that the
late general is not Likely to have sue
cessor in exactly the same position I'M
der the present young car, and indeed
the condition of affairs now is so differ
ent from that which led to the creation
of this extraordinary position i'll the
early years Of the last reign that III all
probability its continuance III its pres
ent form will be considered unneces-
sary. Its present machinery may simply
be Incorporated with the other depart
ments of the ministry Of the household,
if not at once, perhaps after the corona
ton. In any case some change III this
respect is being discussed.
The high favor in which General
Tchereyin was held by the imperial
family was show4 by the presence of
the car and his imperial mother at the
bedside when the general breathed his
last. The removal of the body to the
church of the regiment of horse guards
was also attended by most Of the en-
peror's uncles and COUSINS and the
dowager empress was present at prayers
in the mortuMy chamber before the
coffin was carried by troopers of the
horse guards, followed by the dignl-
taries of the court and government and
members of the imperial family. The
body will be taken by rail on Saturday
to the late generals estate i'll the prov
ince of Kostroma-
General Tcherevin distinguished HIM
self in the Polish campaign of 1868 and
the Turkish war of 1877. During the
latter he was head Of the cars Cossack
bodyguard, which he commanded for
nine wears From 1878 to 1880 he was
assistant chief of gendarmes and head of
the third section of his majesty cabi-
net, otherwise the secret political police
Subsequently he became assistant minis
ter of the interior While hewas i'll con-
troll of the secret police an attempt was
made upon his life by nihilist, whom
the general horsewhipped on the spot,
after disarming him Of arevolver. Alex
ander III attached the general to his
person and gave him immense authority
in all that concerned his majesty's safe
". He was therefore the constant COM
panion of the late car, and, although
he was very fond of good cheer, his keen
intellect was ever on the alert TO serve
the best interests Of his sovereign.

Catholics Desire to Ally Themselves with

CLEVELAND, May IA profound SEN
sation has arisen in the Church OF the
Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin
Mary Independent Catholic) which was
organized in this city about three years
ago, and has been presided over by Father
A. +. Kolaszewski. Father Kolaszewski
and his 5000 Polish parishioners desire
to ally themsemselves with the Method
ist Episcopal church. Although Father
Kolaszewski refuses To say anything
whatever concerning the action, the state
ment as.to his desiring to ally himself
with the NJ. Il. church is verified by Chap
lain G. G. McCabe of the Methodist gem
eral conference.
In speaking of the matter the chaplain
said: "Yes, it is true that the priest does
desire to ally himself with the Methodist
church. He not only wishes to come to
the Methodist church, but the 3 OUo Poles
comprising his congregation as well.
They do not believe in the infallibility OF
the pope and trans-substantiatlon any
longer. They are becoming mo-e an
more educated all the time, and As all
people are enlightened they do not be-
lieve these fallacies. Many thousand
people are going to join the Methodist
church"
Father Kolaszewski, when questioned
about the matter, said: Nothing has
been done i'm the matter yet and there is
nothing to be said at this time. prefer
not to discuss it.

WAsHINGToN, May 6-The expert ac-

to make an investigation Of the trust

These funds were in charge of Francis j.

suit of an investi CATION OF the ordinary

showed a discrepancy of over $ll,OO The
investigation just completed has pro-
duced, it Is said, even more sensational
disclosures 1t is said there is IA greater
deficiency than Mr.. @Keckhoeter's bond,
which Is for $4,000, will cover, and the
bondsmen, moreover, cannot be held ac-
countable for deficiencies in the trust
funds.
1t is limited that stern measures will
be resorted to by the department unless
the amount reported missing is accounted
for The trust funds are the accunula-
tions OF years and are the moneys turned
in by foreign governments TO liquidate
claims of citiz of the United States.
The department has been compelled 10
retain some OF the moneys on account OF
failure to find the claimant or from other
causes. Consequently the fund is large.
