TolAssAss1NATE CAR.
An Attempt TO XIII the Ruler of the
Russians.


Berlin, March 20.-The ST. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Tageblatt says he
has learned of two separate conspira-
cies to assassinate the czar. The first
attempt was planned to be made on the
occasion of the jubilee ball of the naval
cadet corps, which the car had prom
ised to attend. His majesty was ready
to start and was awaiting his carriage
when Governor General Kleigels arrived
at the palace and informed him he must
not go, several suspicious persons be-
longing to the revolutionary party hav-
ing been arrested at Nicolai bridge
with arms and forged passports. He in
formed his majesty the prisoners We're
probably emissaries of the central Nj
hilist committee at Zurich. The visit
was accordingly abandoned. The second
affair occurred in the middle of Janu-
ary when the car, accompanied by his
mother, visited the ceramic exhibition.
When entering one of the rooms the
members of the committee who was es-
corting the emperor's party suddenly
noticed an unknown man hurriedly APP
preaching the czar. As the public had
been excluded and those authorized to
attend had been carefully selected. the
presence of the stranger excited suspi-
cion. Several of the cars party hast
ened TO meet him and led him away
Thereupon the man suspiciously thrust
his hand in his pocket. He was imme-
diately seized. When searched a bomb
was found in his pocket.

UpRoAR IN THE RE1cHsrAc.
German Statesmen Indulge In H Heate,
Political Debate.

Berlin. March 20.-During the debate
today in the reichstag over the home
cffice estimates there arose heated pas
sage at arms between Herr Bebel and
ether social democrats on one side and
Or. Stoecker, conservative, and others
on the other side. The speakers were
frequently called to order. Bebels at
tack was occasioned by criticism yes
ferday on the part OF stoecker. The dis
cussion was continued for several hours
ond was very heated and uproarious.
Stoecker, in referring to Bebal's attacks.
said the moment when his professional
honor had been impugned he had given
up his post as court chaplain, whereas
Herr Singer had continued his business
in spite OF the dishonorable conduct OF
his associates and had even become the
president OF his party. The social DEM
ocratic party, therefore. could no longer
call itself straightforward These re-
marks which were cheered by the right
lists, evoked violent protests from the
social democrats. Stoecker was also
called to order.

Of Affairs.
With All the Loud Talk No

Russia.
No Official Protest Has Been
Made Aeainst Manchurian
Program.

Washington, March 2O.-Another COM
munication was received today from
Special Commissioners Rockhill touching
the complications that have resulted al
Pekin from the efforts of the various
powers to reach uniform basis for
their indemnity claims, but there is
nothing to indicate an agreement is any
nearer than 1t was when this subject
was first taken up by the minister's AL
tho the state department is more than
ever convinced that its suggestion look
ing to a reference of the entire subject
of indemnity to the Hague commission
is the true solution of the difficulty,
that proposition is not now before the
minister's. No precise Instructions have
been sent Rockhill within the last few
days on this point, owing principally to
the absence of the president from
Washington. 1t is presumed now that
the presidents attention is again di-
rected to the subject there will be a
more certain and definite policy.
The situation at Tien Tsin still fails to
excite the officials here, who feel the
critical point has been passed.
A curious fact In connection with the
Manchuria complication is that so far
there is no trace of an official protest to
Russia against the execution of her am
nounced program in Manchuria. 1t is
not for lack of disposition to oppose this
policy that the protest has not appeared
but because there is no authenticated
copy to be had Of the reputed Chino
Russian agreement, and further, no one
of the powers has vet been found will
tng to take the initiative in challenging
Russia. Our state department has ex-
serted what influence it could to secure
