Was There an Attempt to XIII the
CZaro

There is no doubt that at st. Peters
burg on Friday the Car NICHOLAS II.
and many members of his family mar
rowly escaped death from loaded shell
which was fired at temporary chapel in
which they were witnessing the blessing
of the waters of the Neva. An official re-
port attributes the shot to an accident,
but 1t Is popularity imputed to plot
against the sovereign's life. The truth
NAV never be disclosed, for the battery
from which the shot was fired belongs
10 the Imperial Guard, and the utmost
reluctance would naturally be felt TO
admit that the Car is in danger from
those who are presumed to protect his
person. II is, on the face OF things. inn
probable that loaded shell should have
been left accidentally in gun intended
for firing a salute, and almost incredible
that The particular gun so loaded should
have been aimed directly at the chapel.
In any event, the sinister explanation
Of the incident which it seems is cur
rent in the Russian capital is itself fact
Of grave significance, for il bears witness
10 a conviction that the Cars life Is
threatened by a deep laid and far stretch
ing conspiracy whose ramifcations have
reached the imperial palace and involve
officers and soldiers supposed to be de-
voted to the Romanoff dynasty. II
NICHOLAS II. can no longer trust even
the Irnper .al Guard, he is indeed in pitt
full position. The question. however, that
must be uppermost to-day in the minds
of Russian patriots is; How would the
sovereign policy be Influenced by dis
covery Of the peril with which he is be-
leved to be environed'
Manifes,ly, the effect would depend on
the character and temperament Of the
present Car From this point Of view
the rulers Of the Romanoff dynasty have
differed widely and have behaved very
differently under the menace OF assassi-
nation. Attempts to extort reforms by
appeals TO the sense Of terror VIGOROUSLY
failed in the cases Of NICHOLAS |. and
ALEXANDER III. When warned that they
must Oh oose between death ard conces-
siuns TO the spirit Of liberty, those en-
perors hardened their hearts and made
heavier the hand Of tyranny. 1t was
herwise with ALEXANDER II. Although
he knew himself not TO be secure, even in
his sleep for he had repeatedly found
threatening missives by his bedside, he
was never swerved by panic from the
path which he had marked out, and never
ceased to plan for the welfare of his
people, from the day when he abolished
serfdom to the eve before his destruction,
when his last official act was TO sign a
decree giving Russia a constitution.
There is reason to think that NICHOLAS
II. resembles neither his grandfather
nor bis father. and is likely. under the

The Cost OF a Strike.

II il estimated that the direct losses
consequent upon the Fall River strike
amount to 100000. The indirect
losses are beyond estimate in dollars
and cents.
The loss to operatives alone IN money
which they would have received had
they remained at work approximates
S3000,O00 and probably exceeds that
sum. This is estimated on the basis
of the wage offered by the mill owners
and refused by the operatives. The
difference between the rate demanded
and the rate offered amounts, for the
term of the strike, to about 100000.
The strikers have thus lost 100000
in their effort to hold 100000. In ak
months of idleness they have lost at
least as much as they would have lost
in four years of work at the reduced rate
Many have endured actual suffering;
many have become objects oil PUBLIC
charity; and the little sums laid by IN
earlier DAYS have been dissipated. LABOR
in other parts of the country has been
taxed TO support the strikers in their
idleness. and serious loss has fallen upon
the commercial and the industrial in
terests Of the entire community. Inc
mill owners have lost the equivalent OF
something like a 2 per cent. DIVIDEND
on their capital Measured by losses, 1t
has been very onesided game.
The employers offered the terms which
they felt they could afford to pay, and
offered to submit their books to prove
that they could pay no more without
suffering an actual financial loss in their
business. The owners we're not stran-
gers to the operatives. They were not
vague and impersonal stockholders rep
resented by agents whose only object
was to grind the most they could out OF
their employees. The Fall River mills
are owned chiefly by Fall River men
who have built up an industry started
in their city about eighty years ago. For
more than two generations owners and
wage earners in the textile mills have
lived together and worked together
through good times and through hard
times. Such an experience should have
developed a wider measure OF confidence
than that shown by the strikers.
The operatives are to be commended
for the peaceful conduct Of their strike.
But obviously they were i'll advised
in starting it, and worse advised in
it's continuance. The attitude OF the
owners has been firm-perhaps stubborn.
At all events they have not been con-
demned and berated by labor union or
gans alter the customary manner ihey
have stood upon business grounds in
busnesslike way.
The entire experience Is cause for
sincere regret rather than for condem-
nation Of either side. The manner OF its
conclusion may be of questionable wis
dom, but all hands will be glad that it
is over and everybody will hope that
better days may come for both owners

RAKE-oFF ON THEATRE TICKETS.
Head OF Tyson Company Says That He
Divides With the Theatres.

The testimony of George j. Bascom,
president Of the Tyson Company, theatre
ticket agents, in the suit OF Mrs. Francis
w. jackson against Kate ClaXton, A. Nj.
Palmer and others who had to do with the
all star revival Of -The Two Orphans
last year, has been forwarded to Supreme
Court Justice Keogh at White Plains. The
suit was tried two weeks ago.
Mrs. jackson, who is the widow of the
a6apter of Tho Two Orphans, asks that
an assignment she made Of the renewal
of her copyright claims OF the play to Kate
Claxton and A. NJ Palmer be set aside,
because II was obtained by misrepresenta-
ton. In addition. Mrs. jackson asks Tor
an accounting of the profits of the revival
She was represented at the trial by Alfred
AND Charles Steckler and Eugene II. Lewis.
Among the witnesses called was MT;
Bascom. Mrs. Jackson's attorneys wanted
TO show by Bascom just how many tickets
the Tyson Company disposed OF for Inc
Two Orphans. Mr.. Bascom couldn't tell
without consulting his books. and Justice
heogh granted an order allowing Mrs'
Jacksons attorney 10 examine him IN TINS
city.
The examination was held in Bascom's
office and his testimony was interesting,
because it brought out the fact that the
hotel ticket vendors divide their profits
with the theatres. Tyson's and the other
theatre ticket agencies charge $3.50 FOR
every 81 seat. They get the choice seats.
Bascom sworo that his company pur-
chased, at box Office prices, o0i seats FOR
the seven weeks run of The Two orphans
at the New Amsterdam. He said that the
regular commission on the purchase OF
seats paid to the theatre was % cents on
each seat Mr. Bascom couldn't swear
whether he had paid the New Amsterdam
any commission or not.
Mrs. Jackson's attorneys think Bascom's
testimony is very important. IL has been
forwarded to Justice Keogh, who has not
yet rendered decision.
Theatre managers say they only let the
hotel ticket agents have their choice seats
because il Is a convenience to the travelling
public. As far az known, 1t has never be-
fore become a matter OF record that they
made the agencies split with them.
