We're taken TO guard the czar during one
of his recent excursions from st. Pet

departure for the front. He says that
between. st. Petersburg and GrOdno
alone fully 10000 infantry lined both
sides OF the line over which the imper-
ial train had to pass. Many thousand
more soldiers are known to have pat
rolled the line southwark through PO-
land. Every culvcrt was guarded by
sentries standing with fixed bayOnets.
Every peasant track crossing the line
was also guarded by sentries standing
back to back OH either side Of the rail-
way. The heights above all railway
cuttings We're patrOlled by infantry
and so also was the entire route in the
open. In many places the men We're
stationed only some $50 yards from
each other. Bridges were especially

Italy and Austria are allies. but blood
is thicker than the diplomatic ink Of
the triple alliance. and although the Of
fetal relations of the two governments
remain perfectly correct, the senti-
ments of the two peoples are somewhat
estraEged. In fact, the Austrians and
the Italians are ut present rather in
clined TO distrust each other for several
reasons, and are disposed to keep a
wary eye on each other. The Italians
fear that Austria has inconvenient as
pirations in the Balkans and in Alban-
ia, while the Austrians think that Italy
would like to acquire Trieste and few
other points of interest in that por-
ton Of Austrian territory where the
Italian race is dominant. Another cir
cumstance which greatly increases the
difficulty of managing the Austro Hun
garian cOmbinatiO ion is the fact that the
parliamentary institutions won't work.
There are plenty of Parliaments-One
AT budapest for Hungarian affairs and
another in Vienna for the Austrian end
of the business. There is also Il senar-
ate prime minister for each of these
DONNA mt parties in the empire. But
although the ship Of state is thus q
twin-screw affair. it is hard to steer.
The members of Parliament have an
unfortunate habit of dividing up into
small parties. Of obstructing legisla-
ton in very skillful way and of hurl-
ing bad language and inkstands with
great force and precision.

The clemency of the car in releasing
from prison the victims of former sys-
TENS of persecution, that even now are
not materially changed. is drawing the
attention of the world anew to the
cruel methods Of punishment in vogue
in that country. The coming forth Of
the lame. halt. blind and demented,
who. in their prime. were thrown into
Russian dungeons, is not mercy. 1t
would be merciful both to the world
and 10 the prisoners themselves to let
them end their wretched days out of
the sight of their shocked and plying
fellowmen. The victim of a score of
years silent Incarceration is no longer
able to enjoy life. and would be. per-
haDs, less miserable in the dungeon
to which he was accustomed than in
the open light Of day amid surround
ings his clouded intellect could not
