ed with the plotters who caused the
death of the Grand Duke Sergius.
From day to day since the raid on
the revolutionary headquarters the po-
lice have made arrests as rapidly as
the reports of the secret service agents
warranted, until it is known that some
800 prisoners have been taken. Every
possible secrecy has been maintained
and not one word of official informa-
ton has escaped from the authorities.
1t is, however, known that many of the
prisoners are members of the Russian
nobility, and the positive documentary
yond question. In the case of Prince
Obolenski, the assassin of Grand Duke
Sergius, in spite of the public excite
ment and the pressure to know the
fullest details, the police have stead
lastly pretended that they have been
unable to identify their prisoner and
that his name and history are I'M
known. This policy IS pursued out Of
consideration for the other members
of the distinguished Obolenski family,
and also to conceal the truth of the
widespread cancerous growth of revo-
lutionary recruits in o&cial and aristo-
cratic circles.
The terror of the car as a result of
the disclosures as to the Tread of nihi-
lism among the upper classes could
hardly be more clearly shown than in
his punishment of the official in his
! own household whom Prince Obolenski
indicated as being implicated in ter
rorist plots. After the arrest of this
man the car personally examined the
evidence against him and ordered him
brought to his library. What took
place at this interview has not. of
course, been told, but it is known that
the emperor personally named the pun
ishment. Seeking to find sometime
measurably worse than death, the 'em.
peror directed an immovable iron mask
to be riveted over his face. Chained

overlooking the palace he was kept in
solitary confinement until he died. ar

Incidentally the police were able to
clear up the mystery of the unknown
man who was suddenly blown to pieces
on the morning of March II by the ac-
cidental explosion of bomb in his
room in the Hotel Bristol in st. Peters
burg. Although the passport carried
by the dead terrorist was issued in
London, ostensibly to an Englishman,
it was discovered that he was Pole,
and spoke scarcely dozen words of
English.
The police, in tracing his movements
prior to the explosion, found that he
had two addresses here, and documents
were found indicating that he was
watching for members Of the imperial
family and ministers of state. He fire.

muffled behind rich draperies, but they
are not the less deadly. The bomb
that killed Grand Duke Sergius was
thrown by Obolenski--a name
which denotes one of the most distin-
guished families of the Russian aris-
tocracy. This fact is no longer secret
the sort which the Russian police
like to embalm within their own in
scrutable comprehension. From every
indication there is more nihilism in
vited officially to the palace of the car
than you would meet with in visit
to the Russian underworld. 1t may be
depended upon that there are many
persons of title who know more of the
real spirit of the Russian terrorists
than they would care to discuss in a
tete-a-tete in the cars reception
rooms.
There can be no doubt that many

Earnings of a Toreador.

The gains of a flrst-rate British
jockey are large, but it may be doubt
ed whether they equal those of O.

is also one Of the very youngest, OF

all the kaiser's uniforms are kept, with
their attendant csps, helmets. swords,
daggers, cloaks, etc, and the task of ar
raging his majesty in the correct uni
form for each function is delicate one,
requiring considerable knowledge Of
imperial and military etiquette. On
one occasion, it is recorded, the Ger
man empress, who Is also honorary
colonel o. many German Regiments,
was discovered to be reviewing her COM
mands in the uniform of lieutenant
instead of the full canonicals OF @

Rhedive Writes Music.

The influence of western civilization
has seriously undermined the Moslem
orthodoxy of Abbas Pacha, the Khedive
of Egypt. Not only has he gone con-
trary to Mohammedan prejudice against
dancing and given balls in his palace at
Cairo, but also he has dared to COM
pose a waltz, which was played at one
of these functions recently. This Ia
the first instance In which a Moham-
medan ruler has made public preten-
sions to the honors of composer Of
music.

Freaks of Legitimacy

of examples. And yet it is not posi-
BILE to draw from them any conclu-
sion as to law. Sometimes it gives
rise to the hypothesis that it is

tached to brain, is attached to an
electric current
"All that can be affirmed, for the
present, is that in spite of its apparent
independence, lightning does not act

80 unregulated and so capricious, are
not the result of sheer accident The
plea of chance is sought as refuge
for our ignorance. but it cannot ex-
plain these fantastical phenomena.
"The only sure way to reach gen.
eral facts is by consulting particulars.
| This is the method I invariably adopt
in investigating any scientific subject.
| Now, here are few Of the strange
freaks of lightning which have sue

reached her bare toes, which 1t APP
peared to caress, then rose under her
clothes, opening out her skirts like an
umbrella, and came out by the middle
of her bodice, leaping into the air with
great noise, having retained its
globular form. The girl fell back
wards. Two witnesses ran to her
assistance. She was uninjured Med
ical examination proved that there
was only superficial erosion stretch
ing from the knee to the middle of the
chest, and that her clothes were cut
through where the ball had passed out.
"As a rule, those killed by light

staying in the. attitude which they had
when struck, but If touched they
crumble to ashes. Many mysterious

that of Romulus, while reviewing the

thus relieve the crown prince regent
of the unpleasant situation in connec-
ton with the irritation of Sweden over
the measure. King Oscar is idolized
by his subjects because he has lived
the life of an honest and upright man,
lover of justice and friend Of hui
manity, and has used his authority for
the benefit and happiness of his peo-
pie and not for his own pleasure and
