by Mr.. lifts friends that it is case OF
mistaken identity, but the fact that the
case has been settled by Mr.. Iliff con-
Opverts that theory. 1t is generally
believed that he strange action of the
evangelist was caused by mental ex-
citement resulting from protracted
series of religious meetings which he
had been conducting. Mr.. Tiff has
never been known to drink before, nor
has he ever been guilty of an impro-
priety of any kind. In fact he holds
a record all thru this part of the coun-
try as an upright and honorable and
Christian gentleman. The mental ex-
citement theory is therefore the only
plausible one advanced for the strange
deed committed.

st. Petersburg Affairs.

st. Petersburg, March 25.-The po-
litical situation is so serious that EN-
peror Nicholas held a meeting of the
ministers yesterday to consider the
state of public affairs. Threatening
letters have been received by Lieuten-
ant General Kouropatkine, minister of
war; NJ Mouravieff, minister of JUS
tice, and NJ. Sipagnine, minister of the
interior.
1t is reported that Prince Viazemsky
has been disgraced for petitioning the
car to consider grievances of the stu
dents.
Lagowski, the provincial official who
last Friday attempted to assassinate
Privy Councillor Pobedonostzeff, pro-
disciple of Count Leo Tolstoi, and has
asserted that the act was one of re-
venge for the communication of Toll
stoi.
According to a special dispatch to the
Rossyia, the governor general of Kieff,
General Dragomirotf, has issued riot
order, similar to that public cd by Gen
eral Klekgels in ST. Pete. 1Jurg, and de-
Claring that the military will be called
out unles sthe ordinance is strictly
obeyed.
The day passed quietly in St Peters
burg. Some 10000 persons promenad-
ed about noon along the Nevsky Pros
pekt. particularly in front of the cathe-
dral of Our Lady of Kazan. The crowd
dwindled to normal proportions when
it became apparent that nothing would
happen. The promenaders were for
the great part curiosity seekers.
The car presided at the council of
ministers, which was convened at the
Tsarskoe-Sele palace. 1t was decided
not to abolish the law for drafting re-
calcitrant students into the army, but
for the present to refrain from apply
ing the law. 1t was also resolved to
revise the university statute.
The decision of the council Of min
listers is regarded as a step in the right
direction, because it is an attempt at a
partial remedy of the grievances of the
students.
Kapovich, the assassin of M. Bogolie-
poff, Russian minister of public instruc-
ton, has been sentenced to hard labor
for life. He will be imprisoned in the
