LONDON. March 2S.-A dispatch to
the Exchange Telegraph Company
from Paris states on the highest au-
thority that mine has been discov-
cred beneath the palace of Emperor
Nicholas, at Tzcarskoe-Selo, II miles
south of St. Petersburg. Several nota'
bles, the dispatch further states, are
implicated in the plot against his ma
jesty. The Russian press was not per-
mitted to mention the affair.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg to
Reuters Telegraph Agency says that,
in consonance with what is believed TO
be the cars expressed wish. the min
lister of the interior has published in
structions for the authorities OF the
towns and provinces, recommending
preventive measures against disturb
ances as being more effective than Sc
we're repression after disturbances have
been started.
The Birmingham Post, which is
closely in touch with Joseph Chamber
lain, says news received in high quar-
ters in London indicates that the car
is in a very nervous state, owing to
the condition of the political horizon.
1t is said that he fears the result of
the policy of his ministers in the far
east. while the student troubles ant
threats against his life. of which there
are more than have been published,
have completely unnerved his majesty.
His medical advisers have strongly
counseled a yachting cruise, but the
car has refused to follow their adj
vice. Those behind the scene in Rus
STA take a very grave view of the pres
ent agitation, and think it is the begin
ming of more serious trouble.

1t is said the police must learn where

TRAMP STEAMERS CHANCE.
Big Trade Awaiting Development from
AmerIca's Inland Ports.

Big Trade Awaiting Development from
Americas Inland Ports.
In Leslie's appears most interest
ing article upon the possibilities of
Chicago as a seaport The author, w.
d. Hubert, sums up his argument by
remarking that, when all is said and
done, the facts remain that transporta-
ton by water is almost invariably
cheaper than by land, and that at
least portion Of cargo-say from
500 to 1000 tons-can be carried
through the Welland and St Lawrence
canals without breaking bulk. The lat
ter point is of vital importance, especi-
ally in shipments of fragile goods
which will not bear much handling.
The delays in passing the canals will
be counterbalanced to some extent by
the delays which now take place in
New York custom house. 1t is even
claimed that, because of the length
through the crowded warehouses of
New York, goods from Europe can be
delivered at the lake ports more
promptly by way of the st. Lawrence
than by the presen. routes. AS to the
comparatively small size of the steam
ers, that may prove to be in some cases
a positive advantage, for it will en-
able them, like the Wergeland, to visit
lesser European ports which now have
no direct communication with Ameri-
ca--cities too small to absorb the car
go of larger steamship, or to furnish
her with load Tor her return trip.
Even If the traffic should not be as
satisfactory as desired in 1901, it may
succeed the following year. Just now
marine freight rates are very high,
and there is a great demand for steam
ers, especially on the ocean, but this
condition of things cannot last always.
Sooner or later change must come,
and the cargo no longer will be seek
ing ship, but the ship cargo. And
then the owners and masters of me-
diminished steamers will turn their at
tention to this fresh water route,
stretching from Montreal 1000 miles
into the very heart Of the North Amer
lean continent.

She conducted her entire service for
her husband and her sermon was in7

CHAPTER XIX

And all this time what was Marion
doing?
This house was even more lonely
then than it Is now. There were few
country seats around. and even with
their tenants, Mr.. Vernon had little or
no intimacy. People did not quite I'M
derstand him or his position. There
were rumors afloat that touched his
character closely; and even Marion
was supposed to be-not lady, rel
alive and his wife-but person Of in
ferior birth; some even thought her
servant, who had consented to reside
with him without troubling herself
about the formal ceremony Of mar
riage. He must have known that this
was the general impression, and yet
he never contradicted 1t in any way.
So no one ever came to the Hail. and
Marion wondered little at the I'M
social neighborhood and heard nothing
for long time of the dangerous init
macy her Indifferent husband had
formed.
At last the tale leaked out through
the good offices of her own maid. She
was shocked and indignant, but some
thing impelled her to seek Mr.. Vernon
at once and know the truth. She went
down into the study. where he was
lounging in an easy chair, smoking a
cigar. and thinking. probably. much
less Of Mrs. Vernon than Of Mrs.
Moore. He laid aside the cigar and
she sat down beside him and began
her hopeless task.

A CITY UNDER MARTIAL Law
Buenos Ayres in a State Of
Siege.
RIOTERS CAUSE TROUBLE.
Government Plan for Uniication of
Public Debt Meets Violent Opposition
Finance Minister Resigns, and Az
fairs Generally Are in Much Confusion,

Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic,
July S.-A state Of siege has been pro-
claimed here for six months, and the
government has established censor
ship on all messages. The Minister
of Finance, DR.. Enrique Berduo, has
resigned, and affairs are in much con-
fusion. The declaration of martial law
here follows upon some ugly riots, led
mostly by students, and participated
in by workingmen, who object to the
government plan for the unification
of the public debt of the republic. The
disturbances have been serious and
the police force had been largely in
creased to keep the crowds in order.
without much success. Finally, when
it became apparent that the govern
ment would not recede from the posi-
ton in regard to the measure, and that
the rioting portion Of the population
was equally opposed to it, the Senate
and the Chamber of Deputies were
asked to declare martial law until such
time as the government might perfect
the refunding scheme and get it into
operation. The Senate acted on the
martial law declaration without delay,
so that the rioting last night was I'M
usually severe, as most of the demon
strators felt that the House must be
deferred from a similar act or some
serious fighting with soldiers instead
of police would follow. All supporters
of the government measure are
watched by the mobs, and last night
the two administration newspapers
were besieged by rioters. 1t is re-
ported, however, that the opposition
is growing so powerful that the gov
eminent has been forced to promise to
withdraw the unifcation bill.
Washington Not Yet Notified.
Washington, d. c., July 6.-The
Navy department has received no word
as to the reported political agitation
at Buenos Ayres and the declaration
of martial law. The Atlanta is at Rio
de Janeiro and probably will visit
Buenos Ayres, although there is not
felt to be any present need Of YES
sci there. The State department is
also without recent advices from Min
lister Lord.

An interesting matter, from a scien-
tific point of view, in connection with
the death of Queen Victoria, is the dis
lance at which the sound Of firing was
heard when the feet saluted as the

journals OF science show that the
sounds of the guns were heard in sew
