forces of revolution IN Russia are OF
gtnized not all into one body. II IS
true. for there are societies OF moaer-
ates and societies OF extremists. There
are those Who would proceed by con
stitutioual" methods and there are
those who desire to resort to anarchy.
Some demand merely n cu~rtailment of
the autocratiC power OF the car. oth-
ers still cry out for The overthrow Ut
ali existing institutions and the whole
fabric OF society.
Then. again. there is a large body OF
the population belonging TO the mer-
chant guilds, Which Ton its safety dara
not belong to amy evolutionary 50
ciety, but which nevertheless desires
revolution and only awaits q lead. But
all these varying shades of opinion as
represented by their numerous leagues
and societies are controlled by one en-
ecutiNe committee and brought into the
great evolutionary party in Russia.
This revolutionary organization has
branches all over the world and is in
ternational in it's character. Included
in its membership are men OF all ranks
and of every degree. The professional
element and the universities are large
ly represented. The majority of the
Russian students at foreign UNIVERSE
ties are to be counted among the num-
bers of the revolutionary party.
In All Walks of Life.
In Russia itself the members are lie
gion. They are to be ound in every
army and navy, officials OF the GUS
toms. police. or censor's office. who
draw a meager pittanee from The cars
Golfers. They are TO be found in the
palace OF the car himself and among
the advisers. too. Men with great
names in Russia will be found among
the leaders OF the revolution-men OF
science, doctors and chemists. and stu
dents without number As for The
peasants. they are waiting To do what
they are told, as they have always
done. AT present they are taking their
orders from the car and the popes of
the orthodox church, but they will take
them from anybody else when their
minds are inflamed.
The revolutionary party has its hand
upon the army and therein lies the eS-
sence of success. There are soldiers in
Manchuria at this ome III are
pledged to make no Japanese Widows.
1t Is astonishing how badly the Rus
sian naval gunner lays his gun. L have
lately seen two letters, written by SOL
diers at the front. which go far to ac-
count for the total lack OF success OF
the Russian arms. one speaks of men
voluntarily surrendering to the Jana-
nese, so that they may not be called
upon To IlSnU IOF the car. ne otItr

Twelve Men Rule Empire.
The revolutionary party in Russia. is
ruled by an executive committee OF
twelve men. The head of the commit
tee is a doctor, h to this day. holds n
prominent post at one of the uniVer-
stiles. He is a very taciturn man OF
great abilities and brain power. but he
seldom speaks. Other members of the
committee are professors of universities
in Germany. near the Russian border.
There are no appointed times or places
for the meetings of the committee, cir
cumstances alone ruling the frequency
and locality of their deliberations. In
the hands of the executive committee
rest the lives of the ministers and gov
ernors of the empire.
The removal of NJ. Won PlebWe was
due to their deliberations. Each gov
nme in Russia has its evolutionarN
organization complete in detail under
the executive committee. Thus ali the
elements of revolution are to hand and
organized.
Gar Gets Secret Letter.
Some idea of the influence of the rev
dictionary party may be obtained from
the fact that on the day of the assas-
sination of NJ. Won Plehve the czar
found on the table of his private room
a sealed letter addressed to him by the
executive committee. which he handed
to the minister of justice for investi-
CATION. How was the letter delivered?
Whose hand placed it on the czar's ia

Thus throughout all Russia the reVo-
lutionists are awaiting the signal from
