other countries. Newspapers are very
guarded in what they print, for the
smallest offense might 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 Russia i'll
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 wcmen. Already, the
cable informs US, the Third Section has
its drag net out gathering in suspects on
all sides. This work will go on day
after day, increasing in its scope as the
date of the coronation nears.
The merest shadow of suspicion is all
that is necessary to land some unfortu-
nate in prison. Nine-tenths Of these sus-
poets are as innocent of the crimes attrlb
uted to them as citizen in this far OIL
country. But that makes no difference.
If the Russian police arrested guilty
people only there would be many empty
prisons in the Cars domain. Innocence
counts for naught when brought face to
face with the Third Section.
The Third Section is one of three dlvis-
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 arrest the petty
offenders, the thieves, thugs, murderers
and. blacklegs in general who always in
fast cities of importance. There is moth
ing unusual about them except their
willingness to be bribed on every oocas-
Ion. They are miscrably paid; in fact
the members of all the three divisions are
underpaid, and as a result blackmail
bribery and extortion thrive in Russia to
an extent unknown in any other country
tie world over.

THE DREADED THIRD.

THE DREADED THIRD.
The Third Section, whose chief is
spoken of in whisper as the White Ter
ror, 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 ferret
out enemies of the Gar and of the I'm
perial. Government
Much has been written about the Third
Section, but no complete.story of it's Or
ganization has ever been told. Even the
clevsrest and the most relied upon detec-
tiVes in its 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, but that is as much as any
one knows.
Secrecy and mystery form its founda-
ton. How many men compose the force
is unknown. They may number 5000,
and possibly 30, 600. The section includes
men placed In every walk of life, from
the humblest to the most powerful, the
artisan and tine diplomat, the high army
officer and the common soldier, the
laborer and the society man, the mer
chant and the thief. In every big city
