rnE czAR AND THE EXPOSITION.

IL Is now thought probable that the
Car VIII not wish the Parts Exposition
Il was arranged that his visit should oc-
cur about tho middle OF this month. The
police had gone over the situation very
carefully and announced that they felt en-
tirely able to protect the Car. At first
the assassination OF the King OF italy
and the attempt on the life OF the Shah
had mode them umid. The chief Of po-
lice said that the chances were that all
OF the leading anarchists would make
their way 20 Paris n the Gar should an
rounce his purpose 60 visit the exposition.
Later. he said TO the government that
he had the situation 20 well IN hand that
he thought the Car would be In no dan
ger n ne should make the visit.
lie pointed out to che government that
all OF the leading anarchists were under
surveillance. ana would be arrested she
moment they attempted 20 enter France
Everything looked so favorable that the
Russian minister In Paris was notified
that the Car could come 20 the exnosi-
tion without running any risk worth
speaking about.
II was just az this time that an Incl
dent happened chat made the Car hesi-
tate 70 accept the invitation. and caused
the French government 20 wish that he
would postpone his visit indefinitely.
The Incident was this; The French
President. N. Loubct. was on his way
to the exposition 20 distribute prizes
waiter OF one OF the restaurants which
are so numerous along the principal ave
nues. broke through the Gordon OF guards
and sprlnging upon the steps Of the Pres
ident's carriage. dropped a photograph OF
himself in the Presidents lap. He was
harmless creature and declared that he
had committed the net simply 20 show
how easy It was 10 attack the President
IN one OF the principal avenues OF the
city.
The Russian minister az once communi-
Gated ,he affair 20 the Car. who. while
willing 20 be guided by his advisers in
the decision Of the question as to whether
OF not be should visit the exposition. was
apparently inclined to the opinion
that the Paris police did not have
as good a control OF tho situation in Paris
as ghey Thought they had. And the chief
OF the Paris police was evidently OF The
same opinion. Therefore. the half-wil-
ted waiter may be the means Of keeping
the Car away from the French capital
The position of king OF emperor Is
not such a highly desirable one in Europe
M this time. Tho man who wears n
crown is constantly haunted by the fear
that the assassin is always on the watch
for HIM He does not know whether he
will be poisoned, stabbed or shot. and he
Is not certain that an assassin IS not
concealed among his trusted atscndants
Happiness does not necessarily accom-
pany a crown.

The power OF the political boss Is be-
coming enormous. To a greater extent
than ever before he names tho men who
are 60 have the offices The people have
very little 10 DO with the matter. They
do the voting. Of course but they vote
for men selected by che party boss.
just now the whole country H. watching
che political situation In New York. II
Is believed that II the Democrats nomi-
nate a man for Governor In whom the
people have confidence they will DE able
to carry the state for Mr.. Bryan.
The very general understanding e. that
the great majority OF the Democrats favor

ted 10 have their way about the matter.
however. The Democratic boss. Mr.. Gro
ker. Is against Mr. Color. In seeking the
nomination Mr. Golfer Is not appealing TO
the people. He feels that he would nos
have much chance for success n he should
take that course Therefore. he II ask

who have less influence than Mr.. Croker.
and who for reasons Of their own. are
not altogether satisfied 10 follow Mr.
Cookers lead.
The New York papers lcan attention 10
The fact that on last Saturday Mr.. Color
called on Mr. Mclaughlin. the Demo
cratic boss OF che Brooklyn borough. and
asked him to assist him IN the tight he
was making FOR the gubernatorlal nom
inaiion Of the Democratic party Mr.
Mclaughlin told him that Mr. Croker
considered him a factionist. and for that
reason was against his nomination. He
gave Mr. Golfer no satisfaction In respect
10 the matter. Is Il NO pitlful that such
man as Mr. Colcr has to go around
begging the greater political bosses ana
the smaller political bosses FOR noml-
