 l do not look for much suc ozs for this monarohiJal anarchist orSanza- ti1n. for I have a verg vivid w amo"y of something similar in Russ.l ff,ern CT tw nty years aG1 when Jhn flower of the MuscCVite nobility formed a se- cret society similar in every a-prrt to the nihilist conspiracy. but created for the express purp0=s o' fighting tha lat ter. The aim of this sl.iaty. waicl as sumed the higrl-s1undtHg name of the Holy Band" was to inuust tlc safe " of he imperial family to the best blcod Of the land and at th7 same time h inset the conspiratC.s with their own weapons. to combat the nihili,. plans both a home and abroad by rlclns af q conservative secret organization. The necessary resources were raised by sub scription from the highest society. NJ. I1HDof7 7,r rr f Ing the greater part Of the expenses out of his own pocket. Tae GrauI Duke Vladimir and Count Vorontsor SDlsh- llQif obtained tha emp TOTS approval of the statutes Of the Holy Band and it's operations began in the summer of 1881. Foreign agents. many of them members If that band of secret Corsi- can police formed by Griceln for the protection Of Napoleon III. were en- gagged to do the dirty w-rk of tae Holy Band. But soon they were busted by young bloods who declared themselves ready to accept any kind If subordinate position and to perform any amount of work until then regarded as unclean. lt seemed as exciting as it was anus ing to act in the capaciy of a detec- tive and to travel on secret missions to Paris and Vienna at the expense 'cf the association. with the feeling that one was performing a patriotic service and considered in the light of a personal protector of the cZar.
 Of course, the official police looked upon the Holy Band with anything but friendly eyes and absolutely declined to work in unison with tle association The result was that owing to lack of experience and indisy,etion the Holy Band involved Itself in all sorts of odd scrapes. The most @rotesQu- scenes frequently resulted from the inlep=n- dent working of the voluntary police depaItment alongside tha regular force but in conflict with tha latter IL snn-e- times happened that the agents of tta Holy Band and their myrmtdons ar- rested whole sections Of the secret DO lice. while at other times the reverse happened.
 At length the late czar came to the conclusion that the Holy BluJ was q ed upon the vocation either as a means than of safety; rhat it's members look cd upon the vocation either as a means of enriching themselves or as an op- portunity for indulging in adventures which brought neither advantage nor honor to the .ry. So. he determ- ined to dispensa with its services anl tp be satisfied with the protection af forded by the regularly constituted DO lice.
 That was the death Of the Holy Band and the same reasons that led AleXar- der III to suppress th Holy Band are likely to prevent King Victor Em- manuel from according any recognition whatsoever to the mODlrchioal anar- chist movement in Italy. for which predict a very brief spell If existence
