An Army Plot.

An Interrogation mark may be
affixed to the St. Petersburg cable an
nouncing that General .Trepoff; the gov
ernor general Of that city, and province,
has unearthed plot to kill the car
and his family in which troops Of the
imperial guard are implicated.
The press censorship in Russia
temporarily relaxed in it's severity, has
for some weeks resumed it's former
restrictive attitude, and it is doubtful
if such an event as the discovery Of an
army plot would be permitted publica-
tion at home or to 20 out in foreign
cables. Still the widespread discomfort
in Russia, penetrating. everysclass, may
have affected the army more or less,
altho the authorities have ridiculed the
idea and have always insisted upon. the
unfaltering loyalty Of the great gray
coated aggregation known as the Rus
sian army. The army, composed of
many diverse elements and differing ma
tonaities, is always cited as, jointly
with the autocracy, the unquestioned
element Of cohesion, whatever may
be said about the alienation of the
subject races. The army is supposed
TO have welded together Jews, Poles,
Cossacks, Firms and every other ele-
1nentS into ~ q homogeneous fighting
whole, but Russia Of today is no longer
the submissive sheepeote it was, and,
from the landholding MOBILES down to the
humblest industrial worker and peasant,
comes a thunderous roar for admins
trative reform and the extinction Of
autocracy and its twin evil, the bu-
reaucracy.
a disaffected Russian army with a
competent leader could master Russia
without much difficulty. It was the
Russian army which sent Peter III. into
the depths Of an oubiette and elevated
Catherine to the throne, and it was the
army which brought about the
strangling of her son. The conspiracy
against Nicholas I. was led by Prince
Sergius Troubetskoi, Prince. Eugene
Oba1enskoi, and Conrad Ryleieff.
Troub etskoi was colonel in the army
and military governor of Kief; Obol,
enskoi was lieutenant in the imperial
guard and Ryleief was q noble educated
IN the corps Of cadets. The conspirators
pending the formal remuneration Of his
right Of succession by Constantine
brother Of Alexander 4, declared fol-
4 constitutional government and tried to
lead the troops to which they respec;
lively belonged into revolt against
]: Nicholas L, who had received the re
nunciation of Constantine. The mill
tary revolt was speedily suppressed and
those concerned were sent to Siberia

Him and T. is a burlesque from start to
finish, and delivers the goods promised
by the advance man.
The entire piece is up to the three head
liners, Messrs. Watson, Bickel and
Wrothe, and the chorus, headed by Eta
Pearce. While one rests the other makes
the audience laugh, and when they both
appear there is something doing, and it
is well done. One pleasing feature is the
freedom of the piece from suggestive and
questionable lines. Moreover, the lines
and lyrics all the way thru are clever and
bright. -. F..
The chorus is fair to look upon, and can
sing and dance. The costumes are bright
and catchy; and in the Henry Dinkel-
spiel' and my Bonita Conchita" choruses
are especially fetching. In the Songs
Of Nations chorus the company makes
three rapid changes which are almost be-
wildering. Another pleasing feature is
the presence Of enough male members to
give some body to the choral numbers. :
