 inc Russian secret police are prob ably the most skillful in the world; they need to be. Ia the days of Ma poleon III. the police of France had that reputation. They haven't it now TOT the best of reasons. An emperor needs sk1llful spies in all the world a republic doesn't. Russia has had it's lessons in the death of the late czar and ln many attempts made upon the present ruler. So the chief of political police keeps agents in every great city III the world. New York. where so many Russian nihilists have found refuge; San Francisco and Chicago are especially favored in this way. Es- capped convicts from Siberia sometimes drift to the Pacific coast city. while Chicago is watched on general prin- clples. New York, however, is getting to be more and more the chief object or the sol1citous attentions of the czar,s people. The spies who keep tab on nlhllists in America always claim to be nihilists themselves. exiled for their political views, or escaped sus- poets. 1t is their plan to secure admit tance to some of the many nihilist cir cles here and keep the police informed of what goes on. So long as the nihi- lists confine themselves to speech -mak- ing nothing it done about it. But if one of them should start for St. Peters burg with such a mission as that which took Bresci from Paterson the home authorities would be warned and stand ready to receive him after certain we'll known recedents.
