THE RED SERIES in RUSSIA.

An enumeration Of the political murderous at
tempts IN Russia in the last thirty years presents
sad interest in view of the present situation there

Alexander II made by Korskasoff, in 1866. and by
Berezozki in 1857, when the Muscovite autocrat
was returning with Napoleon III from military
review in the Bots de Boulogne at Paris. Those at
tempts are the accidents of the monarchical pro-
fession" as said King Humbert Of Italy who
himself destined to be the victim OF one OF them.
These attempts had nothing to do with the Ter
rorist movement which inaugurated In 1873
with the attempt of Vera zazoulitch, nioknamed
the Russian Charlotte Corday. On February OF
that year General Trepon. chief of the st. Peters
burg police. administered by his son, was CIV
ing audience. A young woman advanced as II to
tender written petition She drew a small
volver. fired at the general, and wounded him
grievousy. Vera Zazoulitoh tried and
quilted by a jury. a fact which created deep i'm

previous experience.
Our army, both men and officers, performed its
duty as Japan knew It would. I was Minister

time CONSUMPTION laws were passed. 1 have

PEACE MUST BE LASTING.
Japan Mag Ask Russian Pledge Re
garding RearnamelIt.

Paris, March 26.-It was said in diplomatic
apuarters here to-day that Japan might ask,
seInong conditions of peace. Russian pledge to
build no more warships for a term of years.
saiplomat said that such condition would be the
7nost effective means of assuring Japan against
iRussia's carrying out plan OF naval rearma-
!Inent for the renewal OF hostilities under better
conditions.
It is well known that Russia contemplates a
huge plan OF naval rehabilitation. Admiral
fDoubassoh, the head Of the technical board OF
the Admiralty; Captain Clado. formerly chief
tactical officer under Vice-Adrniral Rojestvensky
and other Russian naval authorities recently
;have taken the position that peace was desir-
able until naval reconstruction could be COM
pleted. This appears to have stimulated Japan's
/ diplomats to consider means Of avoiding peace
lthat would be equivalent TO no more than truce
Il n which Russia would have time to forge an
reflective weapon.
