Captain William Young OF the Third Po-
lice District was rendered unconscious last
night by the explosion OF stick OF dyna-
mite en- the Seventh street Southern electric
tracks between Allen and Russell avenues.
The explosion tore n hole as large as a
bushel basket in the macaiam street. The
Captain recovered his senses IN time TO
stamp out the lighted fuse which was at
tached to a second dynamite bomb and
Thereby prevented an explosion which
might>haye brought more serious results.
F~Cartafn Young had been visitor at
Chief Campbelrs office at the -Four Courts
on business in connection with the depart
ment in the evening. He departed about
10 o'clock and boarded a Southern electric
car for South St. Louis. The Captain rode
on the rear platform of the car.
As 1t passed Allen avenue he noticed
sputtering light on the track about fifty
yards behind him. AT the same time two
men were seen running away from the
middle of the street. Captain Young de-
cided that something was wrong and con-
cluded to make an investigation. He sig
nailed to the conductor to stop the car and
alighted. Running back along the tracks
he observed that the sputtering. fiickering
light was gradually travelling toward an OBJ
ject on the rail which resembled a candle.
Fearing that the object was an explosive.
Captain Young began TO move faster toward
it. and when he arrived within distance
of fifteen yards of the object there was a
terrific explosion.
The police officer was temporarily stunned
and fell to the pavement. Rocks and other
debris were scattered about him. When he
regained consciousness he saw the lighted
fuse of a second bomb sputtering and siz-
zling. He stamped out the fire and took the
fuse and explosive to his office
tba ho hoI
away from the place were devoid of result
Captain Young declared that he did not
feel any indisposition from the shock aside
from the temporary effect. 1t was his opin-
ION that the dynamlters did not intend to
blow up car. but had IN view the destruc-
ton OF the track.

MAGE.
Moscow. July 30-(Copyright. 1900. by W.
r. Hearst. .)-Since arriving in Russia 1 have
had the honor of three interviews with roy
alty-with the Emperor. the Empress and
Dowager Empress. 1 found the Emperor
in the enjoyment Of splendid health phys-
caliy. He told me that Russia Is at peace
with all the world. Notwithstanding the
present troubles in China. He expressed
the greatest interest IN our coming rresi-
Dental election. and talked as one who was
a close observer of American events. A
pleasant incident OF our conversation was
when. apropos of the prevailing famine in
India. he recalled the great distress in
Russia In 1892. and said that he could never
forget the kindness of America in sending
relief on that occasion-referring to the
shipment of food on the Leo, which was
the cause of my first visit to ST. Peters,
burg.
The Car IL a man feet 10 inches in
stature. of blond complexion and full of
animation. His Majesty told me that ne is
% years old. but he does not look Is.
Among other matters Of conversation
The Hague Peace Convention was men,
toned. and the Emperor said he believed
that good results would yet come CT that
gathering.
"How many things have happened since
We last met" he observed with a reminis-
cent smile. He mentioned the Spanish
American war and without hesitency called
over the names Of our most distinguished
naval and military heroes. He spoke cor
daily OF the international friendship that
has existed between the two countries and
mentioned. In Illustration, the presence of
the Russian fleets in the harbors of New
York and San Francisco during our civil
War for the purpose of protecting us from
possible interference by foreign nations.
Indeed, all through his conversation the
tone Of international amity was strongly
present. The Empress is slightly taller
than her husband and radiantly beautiful
She expresses her opinions without reserve
TIE Dowager Empress does not look a day
older than when I last saw her. She smii-
ingly reminded me of the flowers which she
sent my family when was in Russia eight
years ago and indicated the spot where she
then stood with her children.
Her beautiful eyes filed with tears and
her voice trembled as she referred to the
loss of her husband, her son and her
mother.

HAD SPURIOUS HALF-DOllARS.
Charles Elliott, Dapper Young
Man, Arrested on East Side.

A nicely dressed and well appearing young
man. giving the name Of Charles Elliott.
was arrested in East ST. Louis yesterday by
an officer. who thought the young fellow
was acting suspiciously. Nothing definite
was known against him, but when searched
at the police station he was found to be
fairly loaded down with counterfeit money,
fifty-eight spurious half dollars being found
on him. He has been locked up pending In
vestigation.
Elliott claims that he did not know the
morey was counterfeit. and states that he
got it in Kansas City. He claims that he
left the latter town about two weeks ago
and came to this city on a sight-seeinS
tour, and that he merely crossed the river
to see what sort of a town East St. Louis
was. From his Mariner and mode OF ex-
preston 1t is evident that he has had good
education.
1t Is not known whether he attempted to
pass any Of the counterfeits. but the money
itself would render this rather difficust, II
attempted on an observant person. The
coins are all poor limitations.
