world over are men of the third section. They are in New York; in Chicago, in Boston, in Philadelphia and all of the large towns of the country. They swarm in London, Paris. Berlin, Vienna, Con- stantinople and the great capitals of Europe. The cities of Asia are full of them.
 Those in the Russian cities have no reg ular hours for reporting for duty, as is the case with members of the detective force in the ordinary city. They are on duty all the time. Few of the agents know one another. This is regarded as a great advantage. An agent could be in the company of nine other agents and not one in the group of ten would know that he was in the presence of fellow officers. Their superiors confer with them in secret and they never meet at one place. It is an every day occurrence for an agent to turn in a report accusing another agent of suspicious conduct The latter is simply following up some case, and the other, not knowing him to be secret officer, makes his report So elab- crate, complete and extensive is this or gahized spy system that little goes on that does not reach the ears of some or. fical.
 During the coronation festivities at Moscow the third section will be con centrated at that point. In the great crowds which flock to the ancient city there will be thousands of these secret agents They will be present at every celebration. big and little, with the poor and with the rich, in every hotel in every church, on the street, in meeting rooms and clubs, and woe to the man. woman, or child even, who utters a word Of pro test against the czar or his officers:

Evidently DO Not Think Congress Will

OTTAWA, Ont, March 4.-From an
official document which has been laid
before parliament, it is evident that the
Canadian author. ties are resisting the
pressure from the United States gov
ernment for revision of the Behring
sea regulations, on the ground that the
obvious intention of the reprisal is to
destroy the Canadian industry of pela-
gic sealing. The whole matter is set
forth in report from Hon. Mr.. COST.
gan, minister of marine and fisheries,
which shows from statistics, that in
spite of harrassing regulations, the seal
industry is not decreasing in import
ance. The Canadian yield for 1895 was
$4,000 skins more than the average for
the past sevon years, The report con
cludes that as the seals are not becom
ing extinct a need for the revision of
the regulations does not exist.

ROME, March At 10 reported here
that General Baratieria, commander OF
the Italian forces in Africa, who has
suffered another reverse at the hands
of the Shoans, while advancing on
Abbacarima was wounded during the
engagement.
Full details of the battle have not
vet been received here, but 1t appears
that the defeat of the Italians was COM
plete.
Half the Italian artillery and all the
ammunition and provisions were lost
Other advices report that 5000 OF the
Italian soldiers engaged in the battles
were killed and that among them Cen
erals Albertone and Darbormlda. The
number of wounded is not yet stated.
The Shoans are said to have been
well armed with modern rifles, and
cannon, and the entire force opposed to
the Italians is estimated to have been
over $4,000 men. The total Italian
strength is about AZ, 600.

During the evening q rumor spread
through the city that General Bara-
tieria, when he became aware of the
full extent of the disaster, wrote let

and then committed suicide by shooting
himself through the heart with re-
volver. At the ministry Of war, how
ever, the rumor was discredited.
