Special Correspondence of The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG. November q, 1905.
- TITLE by little there have come
from the remote Russian prov
ince Of Kazan the complete de-
E tails of one of the most extraor-
binary dramas which even this
modern wonderland has ever yielded.
Four years ago Baron Liupianoff "a
wealthy Russian nobleman and landowner,
endeavored to abduet a girl named Olga
Ostrelsky, the daughter of rich fur mer-
chant named Ivan Ostrelsky. in order to
make her his wife. Instead of abducting
the object Of his ardent affections the
baron himself was kidnapped by the girls
father, Ivan Ostrelsky, and incarcerated
in the merchants cellar for four years by
way of drastic punishment for his project
ed outrage. Baron Liupianoff has now been
liberated from his imprisonment, and. much
against his own will, has been compelled
to make the story OF his remarkable i'm
prisonment public in order to enforce his
own rights of property.
The records of this astonishing romance
are chronicled IN the official reports OF the
district court at Ka-sanbazh, as well as IN
the higher court of the city of kazan, the
capital Of the province of the same name
Russian newspapers have devoted many
columns to reports of the case and discus
sions thereon, for 1t has been rightly held
that 1t illustrates most graphically the me-
Gieyal conditions which still prevail in the
European provinces of the Russian empire.
Baron Cyril Liupianoff at the time of his
adventure was thirty years old, and resid-
ed in his own ancestral castle on estates
which extended from the northern districts
of the province of KaZan into the adjon-
ing province of Vyatka. His possessions
covered an area of many thousands OF
acres and he was the most powerful mag
-
man he had gone to ST. Petersburg to en-
Joy life, and in the course of a semi-decade
of dissipation had succeeded in squander-
ing a considerable portion OF the family
fortune. Returning to his estate, situated
in one of the remote parts of darkest Rus
STA, he turned over a new leaf and was
known far and wide as a confirmed woman

The mothers of all the manageable
daughters for scores of miles around who
had at first marked the baron out as a
suitable matrimonial prize. gradually aban-
doned their efforts to capture him and
left him to enjoy life in the solitude of his
bachelor establishment. His aversion to
the fair sex went. so far that he dismissed
all the female servants in his household
and limited his staff of domestics and re-
tanners TO men. His pleasures were prin-
cipaly shooting and hunting In the pri-
meval forests which covered his estates
He was tall. stalwart and handsome, with
bold and energetic features and muscular
limbs His eccentric habits and his dislike
to female society caused him to be re-
garded among his neighbors as a man to
be avoided and the stories which were told
of his quarrelsome and violent nature gave
him most unfavorable reputation through
all the countryside
One fateful day Baron Liupianoff set eyes
on Olga 0strelsky, who at that time had
Just passed her sixteenth birthday and
was girl of striking beauty. She was
tall and dark, with flashing black eyes and
jet black hair Baron Biupianoff-woman-
hater as he had been for so long-was fasci-
mated by her charms and, recalling his for
mer conquests in the Russian capital. be-
gan assiduously to court her, in the hope
OF persuading her to be his wife. He had
come Into contact with the girl through
business transactions with her father who
Ivan Ostrelskys business establishment
was situated In the city of Kazan, but
the merchant lived in the vicinity of Kas-
anbazh, some thirty miles from the capital
of the province. He was the possessor of
stable OF thoroughbred Russian horses,
which enabled him to speed along the de-
serted roads between his residence and
Kazan within three or four hours In the
summer by means of the light carriages
peculiar to Russia, and In the winter by
means of sledges. His wife had died soon
after his daughters birth and Olga was
committed to the care of an English gov
erness. Miss King.
Olga Ostrelsky had CHANGED to be present
| in her fathers store when Baron Lupianoff
came into the city to purchase his winter

care to continue the acquaintance thus
casually begun Henceforth he carried on
his business transactions with the merchant.

Three years and six months passed by
before Miss Ostrelsky married. and baron
Liupianoffs captivity continued throughout
this period. On the day Of the departure
OF the merchants daughter on her honey
moon journey the baron and his two re-
tanners were liberated and let loose In a
] country to which they had become practi-
cally foreigners. The baron made his way
TO his home and found that he ana his COM

REPORT ON LEPRosY BILL.

From the special committee on all
leprosy bills, Dickey made minority
report strongly advising against the
passage of House Bill 176, which he
claimed covered serious relaxation of
the leprosy segregation law. Dickey
preferred Senate Bill 6S which he said
was much more rigorous in its pro-
visions The report was laid on the
table to be considered with the lep-
rosy bills.
The report in full, follows:
"'Sr: Your Special Committee to
which was referred Senate Bill 68 and
House Bill 176, has made a majority
report recommending that House Bill
176 be passed with certain amend
ments and the Senate bills be laid on
the table AS a minority of that
committee I do not agree with the
recommendations and beg leave to pre-
sent minority report.
''The worst blot on our fair Terri
tory is the incubus of leprosy which
with great effort and at great expense
we have got bottled up on the little pc
ninsula of kalaupapa on Molokai. Any
thing which will relax our policy of
isolation and lay our Territory open to
the charge that lepers were allowed
anywhere else in the Territory than at
the leper colony would be distinct
calamity.
House Bill 176 seeks to do this.
My objections to its passage are:

DISTILLERS' LICENSE.

1t was read section by section, and
the first tussle came on the PROPOSE
ton to give distillers license for tif-
teen instead of ten years as provided
in the bill. The fifteen year term
passed. Dickey then moved to amend
the section by making the license fee
for distillers So year for the first five
wears and 800 per annum for the bal
ance of the term of fifteen years. This
was lost and then the license for dis
tillers was placed at So per year.
The license fee for wine makers was
put at So per year, and the period
of the license was fixed at one year.
1t was provided that wine should
not be drunk on the premises where
made.
. The wholesale liquor license was fix
ed at $3.50 annually.
The retail liquor license was fixed
at $500 annually.
And at this point Lane made a mo-
ton that the bill be referred to a spe-
cial committee, to give the people IN
terested in the liquor bill chance to
be heard.
Paris, Achi and Bishop opposed this,
and the Lane motion was lost.
The license to sell liquor in original
containers OF less than five gallons IN
puIk was placed at SO annually.
1t was provided that no man should
be given a license to sell liquor who

RICE'S THRUST.

Rice asserted that the corporations
were simply attempting to prevent the
Treasurer knowing how much bust
ness they were doing so as to escape
the income tax as far as possible.
Andrade pointed out that this could
not be so as the tax assessor has a
right to inspect the books Of any firm
at any time to see if the statement 80

1T SEEMED QUEER.

Early in the afternoon Holstein's
bill to provide for the issuance OF GER
tifcates of Hawaiian birth caused
some amusement, or rather the trans
lation of it in Hawaiian did As
explained by some Hawaiian members,
the translation made it appear that
any woman about to become a mother
would have to secure certificate
from the Secretary of the Territory
to the effect that the child would be
Hawaiian. The bill was properly ex-
planned and then passed without OPP

THE SENATE.

The Senate had a long session with
the liquor bill yesterday afternoon and
finally passed the measure as it came
from the House, with some important
amendments. 1t will come up for
third reading this afternoon, this be
ing close to the last day upon
which the Senate can act upon the bill
if it is to have any power over pos
sible veto.
House Bill 16S, which is the liquor
license bill, was taken up at once after
the Senate was called to order in the
afternoon, having been made the spe-
cial order for 2 p. m. on motion of
Achi, at the morning session. The
bill, as it came before the Senate was
the administration bill, amended IN
several important features. AS it
finally left the Senate, the adminlstra-
ton will have some difficulty in recog-
niZing it, perhaps.

FIVE MEN SAFER.

81. Section 1 provides that the
commission of physicians to examine
suspects be reduced from five as at
present to three, one of whom shall be
selected by the subject, one by the
Board of Health and third by the
two so selected. ] think that com
mission of five is much more safe than
commission of three only and more
likely to secure just decision. The
physicians selected for such a grave
matter should be psychologists and
there is no provision in the bill as
there is in Senate Bill So introduced
by Senator Paris to that effect. The
patient may under this bill select a
physician who knows nothing of bac-
teriologv and there is an even chance
that the third man may be just as
ignorant of that science. | greatly
prefer the plan of Senator Paris s bill
which provides for commission APP
pointed by the Governor of five mem
bers who shall understand that science.
go, The bill provides that the sus-
pect shall appoint some of the com
mission as before stated. | think that
the suspect should be fullN represent
ed before the committee and this is
provided in Senate Bill 6S. The com
mission itself should be a permanent
body and not liable to constant change

prove of for several reasons. In the
first place all IeDers should be strictly

saying that the plan of strict segrega-
ton at the settlement was not adj
