PLOT TO KILL CAR.
Water Pipe in a Railway Tun nel
Loaded with Deadly Elk
plOSiVeS.

Sebastopol, Oct. 20.-Authentic details
have come to light of deep laid pot :"
assassnate the Car that was prepare
a month ago, and for completely in whlc
several persons have now been arrested.
There is a series Of tunnels on the rail-
way between .Losova and Sebastopol
through which the Gar and CXarlna
would have to pass While JourneylnS to
Spala in the CrImea.
The scene chosen for the murder was
the last tunnel. which is 1900 yards long.
On The Sebastopol side of the tunnel
there is g cast IRON pipe at the entrance
which is sused to carry off the surface
water. Before their naJesues arrived
and before detachmentS of troops were
posed to guard the route some people

* and who belongs to the university
Of Moscow, digging in the earth close 10
the tunnel
They thought he was digging worms
for fishing, but a colonel Of gendarmes
suspected that he was engaged IN no
innocent work. and had him watched.
When the posse approached him. IA.
who is the son Of a post captain OF the
Black sea fleet, threw aside his spade
and fled. He was chased and captured.
1t was then found that 4 section of the
water pipe fifty-six inches long had been
extracted filled with explosives and re-
buried The next day this mine was ex-
ploded in a field near Sebastopoi with
terrific effect, in the presence of the po-
lice. Experts say that it would have de-
stroycd both the train and the tunnel.
Most active searches in South Russia
and Moscow for the conspirators resulted
in numerous arrests.
It is recalled that in the course of the
Inquiry AT Rome into the assassination
of King Humbert it was found that the
international group to which Bresci.
King Humbert's assassin. belonged
planned the murder Of Emperor William
and the Car. The vigilance and num-
Der of guards protecting the Gar have
now been increased and the regulations
governing admissions to Livadia. where
their majesties are sojourning. are much
more ringent than ever before.

FLIGHT OF THE DOWAGER.
Dressed in Cheap Clothing and Trav
eIed in a Common Cart.

Tacoma, Wish, Oct. 22.-The Oren-
tai liner Glenogle, which reached Tacoma
last night, brings an interesting story of
the flight of the Empress Dowager from
Pekin. The Shanghai Mercury tells the
story as follows:
1T appears that in accordance with
the regular practice of the Chinese Off
Gals in similar cases, false reports of sup
pOSititiOus victories over the allies were
persistently rendered to the palace with
the result that the court was luled into
a feeling of fancied security and it was
not until the allies had actually entered
the capital that the real facts became
known to the Empress and a rude awak-
ening took place.
On the early morning of the
1t5h of August the Dowager, in
company with the Emperor, left
the palace clothed in common
Chinese cotton garments. travelling in an
ordinary Chinese cart and accompanied
by an insignificant retinue. Such was
the hurry of their departure that no
money or valuableS in any quantity were
taken with them, and for several days
the imperial party is said to have suf-
fered the greatest hardships. The only
the common millet of the country, and at
night they had to sleep in waysde inns
on the rough beds furnished for the ac-
commodatiOn of travellers.
WaaS Wenshao~rWeeps.~r
"AmCIg those who accompanied the
court were Prince Tuan. Kang Vi and
Wang Wenshao, and it is said that the
Empress, feeling sympathy with the lat
ter on account of his age. urged him to
return to his residence at the capital, but
the old man begged with tears to be al
lowed to share IN the exile of the court.
The humiliating effect of this experience
upcl the proud Manchus can better be
imagined than described. and it has evil
