UNREST IN RUSSIA.
University students Continue Their
Disturbances.

st. Petersburg. April %. - Distur-
Dances among the Russian university
students have by no means ended. The
theological schools of Riasan, Irkutsk
and Kien have been the scene of ex-
~traordinary demonstrations against
Pobyedonostseff, the head Of the synod
which accommodated Tolstoy. Dur
ing q lecture on church history at
Riasan a student cried out, "Hurrah
for Tolstoy," and the young priests
jumped TO their feet and cheered Wild
ly. The professor vainly tried TO ouell
the disturbance. Next day the ring
leaders were ordered off to the mon
asteries for six months confinement as
a penance. This ferment among the
divinity students, of whom there are
$4,000 in Russia. shows how deeply the
existing dissatisfaction goes and how
It has invaded circles hitherto noted for
their extreme apathy.

The insurance companies have come
to a new decision with regard to the
granting of policies to the crowned
heads OF Europe since the death OF
King Humbert. They are willing to
insure them against all risks. save that
of assassination, at a slightly higher
rate than that exacted from ordinary
individuals. This higher rate is pre-
sumably demanded in view Of the fact
that royal blood is supposed to be vi
tiated and Impoverished. Kinng Milan,
about four months ago. endeavored to
insure his life. But although he wgs
a mere ex-king, the companies to
which he applied would only consent
to give him a policy with the special
assassination clause, which he declined.
and his son, the present king, when he
attempted a short time ago to insure
his life In favor Of Queen Draga. failed
to come to any understanding with the
company, owing TO the same stlpula-
ton.
