The attempt made in the early part
of the present week by woman upon
the life of Colonel Trepoff, the chief
of police at Moscow, serves to recall
the fact that it was a similar attempt
made nearly a quarter of a century
ago by Vera Sassulitch upon his father,
General Trepoff, chief of the entire
imperial police, that called the atten-
ton of the outer world to the import
ance of that powerful Nihilist move
ment of which until then but little had
been heard abroad. To this day the
name of old General Trepoff is exc
Grated throughout the dominions of the
Car in consequence of the terrible
severity and relentless cruelty of which
he rendered himself guilty, and so
frightful were the punishments in
flicted by his direct orders upon poll
teal prisoners that one of them, girl
of the name of Vera Sassulitch, on re-
covering her liberty, made her way to
his office and shot him, inficting d
dangerous wound, from which, how
ever, he ultimately recovered. Tried
publicly by jury at st. Petersburg, she
gave in court such a terrible picture
of the sufferings of those who were in
carcerated in the dungeons of the
Peter and Paul fortress on account of
their political opinions that she was at
once acquitted. So dumfounded were
the authorities at this unexpected out
come of the trial that they allowed
several hours to elapse before they at
tempted to arrest her or to place her
under lock and key. By that time 1t
was too late. She had disappeared,
and in spite of the strict watch kept
along the frontier, she was somehow or
another smuggled across the boundary
line, and turned up few months later
at Geneva, where she became the life
and soul of the Nihilist headquarters
there. In those days all Europe was
ringing her name. What has become
of her I don't know. The last I heard
of her was when she attended the fu-
neral of her fellow Nihilist Stepniak,
who was killed by being run over by a
train at Woodgreen, and who, like her
self, had sot chief of the st. Peters,

is not only his sovereign, but also the
supreme head of the Church of Eng
land. All that would be necessary
would be for the London Times or
some equally reliable paper to publish
extracts from the memoirs and
biographies of eminent prelates, such
as Archbishops TAFT and Benson of
Canterbury; Bishop Wilberforce OF
Winchester (popularly known as
"SOapy Sam'D, and Dean Stanley of
Westminster Abbey, relating how dur
ing their frequent and pleasant visits
to Sandringham they had administered
the Sacraments not only to Queen
Alexandra and to her children, but
then, the Prince of Wales, in the little
church al Sandringham. Dean Stanley,
moreover, in the published record of
his trip to the Holy Land with the
then Heir Apparent, describes how he
administered the Sacraments to the
Heir Apparent and to his party at
Jerusalem in the very room where, ac-
cordng to popular tradition, the Last
Supper took place.

1t may be remembered that similar
stories were circulated about Queen
Victoria, and l have frequently seen it
mentioned in print that she was never
confirmed. Now this is all nonsense.
The old files of newspapers of the
reign of King William ". describe her
confirmation. The event is likewise
mentioned by the bishop who admin
istered the rite, in his biography, and
is also referred to in other memoirs Of
the time. Moreover, official record of
her confirmation figures in the ar
chives of the reigning house of Great
Britain, SO that there is no doubt
possible on the subject. Queen Vic
toria. however, never took the trouble
to deny these reports concerning her
self. and her son and successor is pur-
suing the same policy.

That the King and Queen should OBJ
ject to partaking of the communion
during the coronation service is per-
fectly natural. The coronation cere-
mony itself will to such an extent dis
tract their thoughts and monopoliZe all
their attention that they both feel that
they would not be, during the cere
mony, in the proper frame of mind to
receive the sacraments. Indeed, the
fact that the King, like his consort,
should object to taking communion
during the coronation ceremony, far
from indicating any lack of orthodoxy
or religious feeling, on the contrary,
demonstrates that his beliefs in the
matter are so strong as to cause him
to consider it wrong and irreverent to
partake of the sacraments when one is
not in the proper frame of mind.

Not to be behind hand the Duke of

time as subaltern in the English army,
and now spends most of his time in

French admiral, standing on the quart
erdeck of his yacht, and his pictures III
this garb, to which he has no vestige
of right, are being circulated in
France in the same manner as those

Napoleon. One may ask himself wheth-
er such methods of decking themselves

culated to impair rather than promote
the interests Of the pretender among all

In view of the approaching elections
in France the monarchical pretenders

This would hardly be worthy of note
were it not for the fact that they are
accompanied by portraits destined to
appeal to the fondness for the gallon"

Thus Prince VictorNapoleon, who prior
to his Punishment from France served
for a year in the army as a private,
never attaining any higher grade, has
had himself photographed in the uni
form of a general of the French army,
mounted on a horse, equipped with all
the trappings of a general charger.
This photograph has been reproduced
by means of photcgravure, lithograph

FOREIGN CHAT.
Edward VII, Despite Stories,
is a Good Churchman.
The Orthodoxy Of Many European
Rulers Questioned.
Russian Disturbances.-Count Nuns
ter.-French Elections.

OF all the traordinary stories That
have been current about King Edward,
the most strange is undoubtedly mat
now in circulation to the effect .hat he
has never partaken of the SacramentS
according to the rite of the Established
Church of England. The report has
even got into print in number OF the
English religious papers, and is being
actively discussed in connection win
the objections entertained by the KING
to partake of the Communion during
the course OF the coronation service.
There is absolutely no truth in this
story. True, the King has never to my
knowledge taken the Communion at
Chapel Royal St James when IN
town, but he has frequently done so
at Sandringham, where he is extreme
Iy regular in his attendance at the vii
Iage church. 1t is a pity that some
declaration to this effect cannot be
made in England on the authority OF
the rector of Sandringham, for there Is
no doubt that the story now current
will receive Widespread belief and that
it will give uneasiness to those of his
subjects who are religiously inclined.
