Annual Parade of the
Cars Horse Guards.
HE DOES NOT APPEAR
The Imperial Family Crouch Before
the Affrighting Shadow OF the Peo-
Pile. Police, in Efforts to Sup
press Political Agitation, In
wade Grave Yards.
(By the Associated Press.) }

st. Petersburg. April THE annual
parade of the Horse Guards, always
heretofore one of the most spectacu-
lar military ceremonies as we'll as Sc
cial functions OF the year. was chiefly
notable today by the absence of En-
peror Nicholas and the Imperial falni-
ly. The Horse Guards is the Emper-
ors own regiment. and never before
has he failed TO attend its annual pa
rade. With the Empress, Dowager
Empress and the entire court the En-
peror remained at Tsarskoe Selo. The
only grand dukes who ventured out
of their palaces were Nicholas, Boris
and Alexander Nichaelovitch, the first
named, representing the Emperor.
Even Grand Duke Vladimir, COM
mander of the military district, was
not present. the explanation being that
he was detained at the palace on
account OF sickness. The danger to
the imperial family was regarded as
especially great today, as ii happen
ed that this was the festival of the
strictest religious holidays. All busi-
ness was suspended. The entire pop
ulation was i'm the streets and the
fears of an untoward incident in view
of the activity of the terrorists in
duced extraordinary precautions. The
police made a number of arrests, but
both military displays happily passed
off without disturbances.

GhouIish Work of Police.
6By the Associated Press.)

st. Petersburg. April THE efforts
of the police TO smother the political
agitation have led them even to invade
the cemeteries in their search for evi-
dence of treason. 1T has boone the
practice of students to place on the
graves of comrades who were active
or who suffered in the cause of free
dom wreaths bound with ribbons on
which political sentiments are inscrib-
ed.
The police now make nocturnal
visits to the cemeteries in search for
these treasonable notices which are
promptly confiscated. But being ig-
norant the policemen make curious
mistakes. The other day a HARM
less inscription in Greek simply ex-
pressive OF sympathy was seized, and
on Wednesday red ribbon attached
To a wreath. although upon the grave
of a well known official, being inter-
preted by the police as revolutions
ary emblem, was not only cut off,
but created so much alarm that a
general order was sent out To all YEN
ders of mortuary wreaths prohibiting
the sale of red ribbons.

had been working. and railroad detec-
tives from Northern lines, now in this
city, claim to have spotted confeder-
ates who have hidden the property of
Northern tourists.
The plan of the thieves appears to
have been to rob only Northern bound
baggage so that tourists would not dis
cover their losses before they arrived
at their distant destinations. thus max
ing the robberies more difficult to
trace. Under the baggage checking
system, claims have been filed I'm every

New Bern, N. c., April Aroused
at two o'clock this morning by the

of red disaster, sleeping New Bern
flung up windows and thrust out eager,
alarmed faces to blink at the flames
leaping and twisting over Daniels
livery stables and threatening to draw
into their binding vortex other val
liable properties in the immediate
vicinity.
In spite of the swift and commend
able work of the trained fire work
ers the fear that these nearby build
ings would become involved in the
widening circle of ruin was quickly
realized. In an incredibly brief
period of time s. L. DiIl's stables and
the buildings occupied as places of
business by j. C. Green, plumber, and
by Willis, Grove and Gaskill, mill
and steamboat supply merchants, were
spouting huge jets of fire, and ii was

hope of accomplishment. Therefore,
as a strong gale was blowing that
menaced buildings across the street
with the driving flames, the fire-fght-
ers turned their attention TO the saw
ing of this property.
In this. though apparently fighting
against almost insuperable difficulties,
they were successful, their determin-
ed combat with the flames and ulti-
mate victory being worthy of all
praise.
In addition to the buildings already
mentioned as having been burned,
there was another in the rear of r.
r. Williams. which was destroyed.
The mill supply people and Daniels,
the livery man, were the heaviest
losers. 1t is understood that the lat
ter lost fifteen horses. which were
consumed with the stables.
The mill supply firm carried a stock
valued at about $4,000. The total loss
is estimated at between 100000 and
$4,000 The Insurance was small
