the merchant and thief. In every big
city the 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 in this country.
They swarm in London, Paris, Berlin,
Vienna, Constantinople and the great
capitals of Europe. The cities of Asia
are flu of them.
Those in the Russian cities have no
regular hours for reporting for duty, as
is the case with members of the detec-
1--WE force in the ordinary city, They are
on duty all the time. Few of the agents
know one another. This is regarded as
great advantage. An agent could be
in the company of nine other agents, and
not one in the group of ten wonld know
that he was in the presence of fellow
officers. Their superiors nfer with
them in secret, and they never meet at
one place. 1t is an every day occurrence
for an agent to turn in a report accus-
ing 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
elaborate, complete and extensive is this
organized spy system that little goes on
that does not reach the ears of some Of
fetal. During the coronation festivities
at Moscow the third section will be con-
Centrated at that point. In the general
crowds which flock to the ancient city
there will be thousands of these secret
agents. They will be present at every
ce ebrati1n, big and little, with the poor
and with the rich, in every hotel, in ev-
cry church, on the streets, in meeting
rooms AMI clubs, and woe to the man,
woman or child even, who utters word
of protest against the car or his officers.
The third section is hated by the peo-

as the date of the coronation neaIs.
The merest shadow of suspicion is all
that is necessary to land some unfort-
innate in prison. Nine-tenths of these
suspects are as innocent of the crimes
attributed to them as a citizen in this far
off country. But that makes no difference.
If the Russian police arrested guilty peo-
pie only there would be many empty pris-
ons in the cars domain. Innocence
counts for naught when brought face to
face with the third section.
The third section is one of three divis-
ions of the Russian police system. The
! first division or section is the ordinary
street police force, the members of
which are uniformed and patrol the
streets of the big cities just as they do
In this and other countries. They ar
rest the petty offenders, the thieves,
thugs, Turderers and blacklegs in gen.
eral who always infest cities of import
ance, There is nothing unusual about
them except their willingness to be
biibed on every occasion. They are
miserably paid; in fact, the members of
all the three divisions are underpaid,
and as result blackmail bribery and
extorlion thrive in Russia to an extent
unknown in any country the world
over.
The second section is made up of the
rural police, the chiefs of which ale ap
| pointed by the state and the ordinary
officers by the different villages. These
are the most Tacapious wretches on the
face of the earth, and the way they
grind down the helpless peope in their
control would bring tears to the eyes of
man of stone.
The thild section, whose chief is spOk-
en- of in whisper as White Terror,
is made up of the dreaded secret police.
The organization of this force is we'll
guarded mystery, and therein lies its
vast power. 1t is under the immediate
control of the minister of the interior,
and its one particular business is To fer
ret out the enemies of the czar and the
imperial government.
Much has been written about he third
section, hat no complete story of its or
ganization has ever been told. Even the
cleverest and the most relied upon de-
tectives in it's employ do not know the
real facts of the matter. Americans who
have lived in the principal Russian cities
/ and who have written about it, have only
been able to obtain the barest skeleton
of its formation, buS that is as much as
any one knows.
Secrecy and mystery form its founda-
ton. How many men compose the
| force is unknown. They NAV number
5000, and possibly $4,000 The section
Includes men placed in every walk OF
life from the humblest to the most pow
erfui, the artisan and the diplomat, the
high army officer and the common sol
der, the lab1rer and the society man,

THE WHITE TERROR.
ADARK CLOUD AT RUSSIA'S COM
ING CORONATION FESTIVAL.

The Much Talked-Of and Dreaded Third
Section. Something About the Machin-
cry of the Most Complete Secret Spy
System in the Civilized World
On May 2Sth next, when the young
car of Russia will go through the won
derful coronation ceremony in the beau
tiful cathedral Of Moscow, his millions
of subjects through the breadth of Asia,
and half of Europe, will join hilariously
in the festival. AT least they will do
their best to appear j yful and happy,
but over The vast carnival, covering mil
lions of square miles, will hover a dark
cloud.
The ghoul of distrust, fear and ankle
ty will be abroad hat day in proportions
of such magnitude that not one person
in the tens Of millions ingthe empire will
fail to feel its presence. The mysterious
third section will pei meate with it's ter
rible dread every heart in Russia, and
when the great cathedral bells are chin
ing their glorious music, when bands
are playing, banners flying, in the midst
OF feasting and drinking, in the home of
the peasant, there will be nothing bright
and handsome enough to hide this mon
ster.
Terrible at all times, it will be doubly
awful on that day, for on great occasions
OF this kind the car feels that he is more
at the mercy of the assassin than in or
binary times. No rumors of uihilistic
effort at the coronation have been in cir
culatiOn, so far as the outside world
knows, but information of that kind
does not travel in Russia the way it does
In other countries, Newspapers are verv
guarded in what they print. for
the otfense may land the editors in some
filthy dungeon, or, worse still, in the
mines of Siberia.
This coronation to which the nations
of the world will send their ablest men
enhancing its splendor and Importance.
will be the engine of more misfortune
and misery than any happening in Rus
ala in years. 1t will swell the Siberian
colony to untold figures, and heap the
thousands of prisons in the empire
with armies of unhappy men and women.
Already, the cable informs us the third
section has it's drag net out gathering in

pie of Russia, and they Shave made tn S
clear many times by assassinating the
"White Terror in power. In 1868 Gen.
Mezenzoff was shot dead, and y ar
later his successor barely escaped with
his life from the knife of another assas-
sin. In 1888 Gen. Sudelkin was slain
and in 1890 his successor Solver
stOff was shot dead. Hundreds of men
ana women have been sent to Siberia
for plotting against the lives of the chief
police officials. but this does not deter
others from doing the same, and sooner
or later one succeeds.
At the coronation the czarina will wear
a 100000 gown, and the cars carriage
will be drawn by six horses, whose har-
ness cost $50, 900 ;but these empty glories
will not harmonize with the evil worked
by the third section among the poor peo-
pie, who must pay for the terrific extrav-
agance, and be exiled afterward for muir
muring against system which tolelates
such abuses.

NE VS. AND VIEWS.

1t is now learned that the Ohio bill
against big theater hats was drawn by a
woman, Mrs. Fosdick, the wife of the
representative who introduced it. The
presumption is that Mrs. FOsdick wears
the proper headgear when at theater
The publication aud cuts and dia-

Ordinarily the man who gets on a spree
regrets it afterwards. But West Vir-

that he did it, and would not mind going

would turn out like the other. While he
was drunk he paid $500 for a share in a

the ice in a westerly direction 10 "a de-

Rocky seas, he says, prevented him from
entering the mouth of the Olensk river
for the purpose Of procuring dogs, ana
the lack of dogs prevented him from reach

wise have found.
DR.. Nansen says he found water 800
meters deep, which became appreciaby
warmer at a depth of 1870 meters The
land voyage, he says, was very arduous,
but had extremely valuable results. He
reached the northern coast of Franz Jo-
seph Island in the autumn of 1895 and
built storm house there, in which he
lived all the next winter.
DR.. Nansen adds that during the winter
when there was no bears flesh to feed to
the dogs, he killed the weakest dogs and
fed them to the others until the whole
pack was killed. He and Lieut. Hansen
started on May 10, to try to reach Spitz-

STRIKERS ASSAULT ~scABs..
Several Men Killed In Pitched Hat
tie in CIeveIand's streets.

Cleveland. o.. Aug. 14.-One OF the most
dastardly attempts at murder ever laid
at the door OF organized labor took place
here tonight, It being the outcome OF
the grest Brown strike. that has been
going on in this city for the past three
months. As a result, four men are
wounded. two Of whom are liable to die
almost any moment
On June 25 the great Brown Hosting
and Conveying Machine Company dis
charged its SEQ employees because Of a
threatened strike. Since that time rioting
has been the chief pastlme OF the strikers
and their thousands of sympathizers.
About a week ago the seven compa-
MES Of militia were withdrawn from the
Brown works, and the police protection
taken away. Tonight a party Of ten
strikers went to the corner Of Wade Park
and East Madison street and lay in wait
for party Of workmen who came by on
their way home from the Brown works.
There were nine men in the little group
of workmen with their dinner pals.
Without a moments warning, the strikers
rushed from behind a saloon, where
they were in hiding, and with a cry OF
"Scab." began shooting into the crowd
A few of the workmen We're armed and
returned the fire. The battle lasted
about three minutes, in which about
thirty shots were fired, when the strikers
fed.
-Four men were shot. two fatally OF
the number two were strikers. George
Plumb, one of the workmen. was shot
In the head and Is expected to die, while
Caldwell, another workman. was shot
in the right leg and in the shoulder
Plumb was taken to a hospital where he
will die. Two Of the strikers were shot
and one will die The one fatally injur-
ed is George Larsen. He was shot
through the lungs. The other, whose
name is Hixley, is not fatally injured.
Several people were hit in the riot, but
their names could not be learned. The
police made several arrests among the
strikers
