ROMANTIC REVELATION.
A Novel-Like Attempt to Murder
RuSsia's Czar and Czarina.

New YORK, Sept 8.-The World dis
patch from London says A report is
published here of a daring plot to
assassinate the Car at Moscow last
week. The plan was to allow gas to
escape into house on the route of the
Cars procession, until the atmosphere
in every room had become saturated
One was to remain in the house and
strike light when the Gar was pass
ing, in expectation that the house
would be blown to pieces and the Car
killed by the flying debris. The con-
spirator would perish himself as sacri-
fee to the cause. This duty fell to
Alexander Kolanoff. lie seems to have
made an error as the explosion was mis-
timed. When it occurred, staff officer
and his wife were driving past the
house and they instead of the Gar were
killed. Thirty other persons were in
jured Koianoff's mangled body was
found among the ruins. The Gar and
Czarina drove by just 25 minutes later.

THE OLD BLIND WAY.
Spain Blunders Along In the Idea
of Suppressing Public Opln-
ion; and Shutting Off
Controversy.

MADRID, Sept. 8.-The Spanish cab
met, this morning, decided to take the
most stringent measures to prevent the
publication of the proceedings Of the
Cortes, and to provide censorship
oger telegraphic dispatches.
The Society for Commercial Union
is sending petition to the 5ortes de-
manding the closing Of all military
schools, curtaiIment of retiring pen
sions, that all officers returning from
Cuba be placed in the reserve, and that
in addition to the budget 100000
pesetas annually be provided :ior the
care of sick and wounded Spanish sol
diers returning from the colonies.
The newspapers assert that the gov
eminent is surprised and chagrined at
the attitude of the conservatives in the
chamber, which indicates that the gov
ernment is isolated on questions Of
such magnitude as the conclusion of
the peace treaty. The Spanish papers
express the opinion this forshadows
the downfall of the ministry.

Optic announced was to take place be-
tween w. |. Mitchell, the clerk at the

and after short but romantic court
ship OF two months they became en-
gagged. When Mr.. Mitchell came here
to accept position In the post office,
the marriage was postponed aud in
short time there came change over
the feelings of both parties. Juliet
couldn't see how they were to get along
on a salary of $75 per month when she
had been accustomed to spend that
much herself, and Romeo promptly
seconded her motion to declare the
match of, and thus the romance came
to rude but realistic ending.
Miss Herzog is native of Cuba, but
was educated at convent in Newly ork.
She spent three days in this city last
week accompanied by L. L. lyon,
travelling man of Denver, whom she in
troduced as her guardian. They left
for California Sunday night.
s Mr.. Mitchell is again heart whole and
fancy free, and will be more popular
than ever with the fair sex of Albu-
querque.
Later-Miss Helen v. Herzog, the ad-
ventures, who came very near entic-
ing W. |. Mitchell, the clerk at the gem
eral delivery window of the local post
