SAFE IN SWITZERLAND.
Aasasain of Minister Von Phieve Be- yomd Laws Reach.

yOMu bMW keSoNhs
 St. Petersburg. Sept 27.-QA5 A. M)-whiIe some of the feature of the plot which eliminated in the assassi- nation of M. Won Phleve. the minister of the interior, still baffle the police. the authorities profess to be now per- fectly certain that the conspiracy was matched In Geneva by half dozen Russians, mostly Jews.
 The authorities know the names and addresses of the conspirators but re- fuse to take legal action against them owing to the failure. of the laws of Switzerland to interfere with political refugees and therefore Russian terror- ists are at liberty from their haven in the Alps to continue the work of assassination of Russian ministers so long as they are able to find emissar- ies willing to risk their lives, the or- Eanizers never venturing to carry out their own designs.
 Six men who engineered the von Phleve plot. according to the result of the Russian police investigation. arc declared beyond shadow of doubt to have organized the series of political crimes, with the exception of the mur- der of M. Bobrikoff. the governor gem eral of Finland. which began with the assassination of M. Bogdandvitcn, governor of Ufa on May 1s. 1903, and ending with the blowing up of Minis ter von> Phleve on July 2s of this year.
 Gershunin whose plot resulted in the assassination of Minister of the Inter- for Sipiaguine on April 15. 1902. now turns out to have been only an emis- sary of these Geneva terrorists.
 For the first time the fact is now revealed that Nj. Phlcve's murder had been preceded by four abortive att tempts to encompass his death, which the department of political police frus- trated in the nick of time by the arrest of the would-be assassins who were quietly imprisoned.

LODGE ON RECIPROCITY.
Massachusetts Senator Speaks at New
 ton Club.


 ton Club.
 Newton. Mass. Sept 2e.-senator Henry Cabot Lodge was the gues, of and in \ speech following the dinner. advocated a policy of reciprocity that would bring compensation to the rrni- ted States for concessions made and not prove inimical to American inter- ests.
 Senator Lodge said that he had been asked to speak on the subject of reel procity and the relation of the two great political parties to that question. He continued:
 Every one Is in favor of reciprocity or any other policy which will enlarge our foreign markets: provided that such reciprocity or other similar policy does not involve a greater sacrifice than the proposed enlargement of the foreign market is worth. Either the Democrats do not favor reciprocity or they do not favor a reduction of du- ties because the two together are iui- possible and incompatible. I think we should consider very carefully wheth- CT the true way to improve our foreign markets is not by general legislation which will bring a general reciprocity and which shall bear equally on all parts of the United States. and if sus- cessful bring benefit to the whole country.
 The Democratic party for fifty years has done nothing in regard to reciproc- ity. except abrogate the Blaine treaties. They never can do. anything because they are in principle the party of free trade and tariff reduction and without u tariff of protective character, reci- nrocitY cannot exist"

Th.. MIr,kv Interview,

London, Sept. 2s s.-Editorializing on the interview given to the Associated Press by Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky. Minister Of the Interior, at his palace at Wilma last Friday and which is re- printed in the English press this morn ing the Standard says:
 'It is surely a sign that something is working In Russia when the new Min ister of the Interior thinks 1t advisa- ble to make a declaration of his policy by means of an interview.
 The Standard thinks that such a roundab bout method hardly adds to the dignity of a great empire. but says 1t is no longer possible to rule Russia without giving some attention to the expressed wishes of at least the edu- cated part Of the people, and that some means must be found for obtaining sup port and cooperation
 NO fault can be found with the matter of Prince Sviatopolk- -Mirsky's communication" The Standard adds. The moral of his sound observations is that Russia, like the widespreadinR
